*sigh* How long since my last post? How long since my last post worth reading? Eat it up.
I said once that the whole of the human race should spend a minute a day weeping for lost beauty. At the time I was thinking of the natural world and the methodical destruction of it (and specifically of stars; how long has it been since I, in big city Edmonton, saw more than a dozen stars at a time?), but now I want to widen my statement to include all the times we lose beauty in our lives.
I think children are smarter than almost all adults, and the younger the child, the better. Some kids are miniature adults nowadays – it breaks my heart to see a nine year girl worrying that she’s fat (and she’s thin as a stick, too). Children…they don’t know what society expects of them, so they don’t conform, they haven’t formed strong views on much of anything, they’re not racist or sexist or anything really…blank slates. Psyche, without persona. Humans as humans were meant to be.
Society’s insane. It wants logic and forward-thinking, wisdom and experience, but it also wants to look no older than twenty five. It wants new ideas and spontaneity, but rewards those who are truly spontaneous, saying what they think when they think it and moving however they want with the label “crazy” and murmurs about autism.
You know what I think? Everyone’s too future-centric. The enjoyment of the present is lost in the hopes of the future, and nobody realises that jam tomorrow is nothing when compared to dry bread today. There are people in my class (most of whom are 14 with a few 13-year-olds hanging in there) saying what they’ll do for A levels or IB (seventeen or eighteen), forming opinions about which sixth form college they’ll go to (seventeen/eighteen again), looking at universities (twenty) and what they’ll read there.
I wish the whole world would slow down. The future can only be changed by working in the present, and if you don’t enjoy the present, where will you be in the future? Stop. Slown down. Stand and stare. You’ve got the whole of your life ahead of you! Plenty of time; all the time you’ll ever have. If you love it, do it. Who cares what the world thinks? Who cares about money (it’s just paper and metal, after all)? Who cares about the future? Dry bread today! Tomorrow never comes!
Something I don’t understand is people taking jobs they hate (eg McDonald’s…ugh…) for money. Let’s say you spend 8 hours sleeping. You’ve got 16 hours in each 24-hour day to live, and if you’re working 9-5 then you’re working 8 hours a day. Work in a job you hate and you’re spending half your waking hours doing something you detest. What a waste of a life. I’d rather starve happily then eat miserably.
Abrupt end to my rambling, of course- stick that in your pipe and smoke it!!!!!
Three people busy in one average-sized house. Person B and C are in the same room. Person A needs to get a message to person C- so he/she yells the message across the house to person B to pass it on. Doesn’t it make logical sense that Person C will have heard it anyway!? Allow me to clarify;
A: Hey B, tell C that I’m hungry!!!!
B: C!!!! A’s HUNGRY!!!!!!!
C: I HEARD THE FIRST TIME SOMEBODY SCREAMED IT; I DON’T NEED TO HEAR IT AGAIN!!!!
No translation on this one; it’s just something worth writing but not quite worth reading.
Congratulations to theater packs of M&M’s for proving their own motto wrong; “Melts in your mouth, not your hands.”
Bored out of my mind I decide to go to the local theater to watch a movie; Transformers, to be specific. Several things disappointed me when I got there. Firstly; no more free refills on large fountain pop! Secondly; I grab a handful of M&M’s and end up with rainbow-poo-colored hands! Thirdly; The MOVEH!!!! o.O
I’ve been seeing so many reviews for Transformers!!! Most common among such reviews suggest “truly breathtaking CGI” and “More effort put into special effects than storyline.” The CGI was indeed very well done; but not nearly as well done as I expected after seeing so many praising reviews. Ever seen FF VII Advent Children? I’m not seeing any possible extensions to the storyline, so I don’t get what people are complaining about in that area, but the ‘interest-making’ elements(such as comedy & SFX) were extremely lame and not very well-thought-out. Go read Harry Potter instead 
So, as you can see; the M&M’s industry has failed miserably at maintaining their reputation. Somebody should sue for false advertising- as well as for the production of a candy that causes lame movies and loss of free refills. What am I even trying to say?
“Something worth saying should be something worth understanding.”
How many days till Christmas? <——– completely irrelevant; but commonly asked.
It’s been how many months since my discovery of The Endless Forest??? I can’t believe I haven’t advertised it yet! Okay; that was blunt, but it’s really quite true. Perhaps you’ve heard of it? By NO means is the game ANY of the following!!!!!
- Bambi Online
- Anti-Social
- Freaky
- A Waste of Time
- Pay 2 Play
Now that I’ve gotten that out of my system; I suggest you visit the website (http://tale-of-tales.com/TheEndlessForest/) And read what there is to read. I’ve explained the game before; and ended up taking up WAY more space than I would want to put in a blog. So, for your sake; I’ll leave the explaining to the official website. However; I will proclaim that it is a true masterpiece. As for my Spanish audience- the site itself is only in English but you won’t need to know any English to play the game and socialize. Oh yeah; it’s usually referred to as being an MMO, but you should keep in mind that it’s a social game and NOT a let’s-go-kill-stuff game. Give it a try; it’s not flooded with kiddies either.
A pen on the paper
Writing our stories
Pouring our hearts out
Consuming our lives
Thoughts shaking,
Hearts breaking,
It tears us apart.
A hasty script,
or a creative novel,
It makes us or breaks us
always overrates us…
6 pages later
I find myself
Face down on the ground,
Having fallen down,
Without a breath left.
But still I rise
from the dirt
To face a false medic
And let the tears fall
The ink has been running
Like water on stone
and the novel is over
We’re rebuilding our home.
“One should never linger on one word too long; for it will soon become bored and leave.”
It seems I haven’t posted in a while. Writer’s block? Not exactly…more something of a lack of subject. Such a thing still remains just out of my grasp. Let me just proclaim a couple of things for now; your mind’s thirst for an update needs quenching of some sort.
I’d first like to rant about people’s abuse of the world’s excitement revolving around the new Harry Potter book. Firstly; if you’re one to even seek spoilers, you’re not worthy of such a masterpiece. Secondly; Anything you find on the web as this current time has been confirmed as lies. Anybody spreading such lies are automatically on my hate list; both for lying and for attempting to spoil a great book before anybody has the chance to read it for themselves. And we’ve all heard of this Philippine fan girl who went so far as to hang herself over a fake copy of the book available on the Internet; giving Harry and his friends all a gruesome end. Stop this nonsense or I’ll have to beat you.
On a side note; I’m currently working on a book. The plot is still fuzzy and I can’t predict it’s length as of yet; but I can tell you that I will be writing both plain text as well as a graphic novel and probably publish on the Internet for all you blokes for free.
“You can always keep kicking, I’m sure a hole in the contraption will help.”
Surely when you were young you’ve played ‘Telephone’? You know; when people pass on a message to each other through whispers and the last person to hear it shouts it out. It’s always a laugh to see something like ‘I’ve seen lassie eat smores’ become ‘I have grass in my shorts’.
My mother over-exaggerates almost everything she says; whether it’s something she just witnessed or something she heard from someone else. Sometimes it’s difficult to decipher where the true fact is hidden. Or maybe it really did take an hour for me to wait 10 minutes for my SIN number. Great work there. The only times I can recall hearing straight facts have been in direct quotations; like Bible verses. Get your facts straight.
By the way; this post is, in reality, a gently noted rant.
“So you’re going to box me in?”
Sitting at this familiar desk for the first time in days; a blog topic fails to reach me. We’re finally done moving and I have no real post for you. Window-cleaner seeping through the worn knees of my pants; not comfortable, but I had to get onto the internet. Our new house is huge!!
But anyway I was surprised to look out the car window and see icky green clouds over this pleasant little town. Wainwright’s icky-green-cloud-producing industry consists of a single tower; which I’ve only seen functioning a couple times. Meanwhile, skys in Edmonton are stark blue, not a cloud in sight! I never even got any whiff of that signature Edmonton industrial cancer-infested air. I’m so bloody confused.
In the midst of all this I’m having all the trouble in the world just trying to pronounce the word ‘denim’.
*”So you’re going to box me in?” As my sister surrounds the computer’s corner- and me- with the boxes and bins that were in the way of her own office area. T.T
“The things anybody can hear, but nobody bothers to- this is what we call white noise.”
“What are you doing right now?” Ah, yes; reading, of course! Did you know that wars are still persisting? You do. Did you know that children in third world countries are starving? You always have; those commercials on TV won’t let you know otherwise. Maybe you know what your friends are up to, too…
But what’s Bob from Toronto up to? I don’t know either. Okay, maybe you do- in which case a better question would be; “Is there a fly in Stuart Little’s cat bowl right now?” There’s something you can’t answer. It seems people insist on sucking up all the information they possibly can about what goes on with the people closest to them; and there are some things people just know- like the starving kids on the other side of the world. But surely you wouldn’t be able to answer if somebody asked you what Bilimsel from Istanbul is doing. For a matter of fact, he says he’s currently; ‘ufuğun kolundaki kılları yaktıktan sonra bir depar attım, kendime inanamadım, evet 25 yaşındayım (100 binlik arabam yok)’. And no, I can’t translate. That’s a little out there, no? Okay; let’s try something a little closer to home- How about (random citizen) from 2 blocks down? Maybe you don’t even know their name! Look out the window; any passersby? Do you know them; do you know what they’re doing? How about this; You can’t tell me what Sheryl from Spain, or what Kari from Brazil were doing yesterday. I know; but I can’t tell you what’s up with them today >.>
“Why on earth would I need to know these things!?” Well; nobody would need to, but can’t you admit that you’re interested to some extent? Most people use the internet to communicate with people they already know, or to find out stuff they absolutely must know. What I see in this internet is an enormous BLOB of people from all over the world. Who can resist mingling with such a crowd? Everybody’s going to be different here. I’M REALLY HUNGRY RIGHT NOW SOMEBODY FEED ME!!!! Heh…anyway; I was saying! I’m rather shy IRL, but when I get going on forums, MMO’s, etc. I’m a social butterfly! mom’s crazy she already packed up all our food for the move… Okay; let me get straight to it before my stomach eats itself- Check out Twitter.com if you’re interested in what the world’s doing- or if you just sick of people saying ‘nothing’ every time you ask them ‘what’s up?’ on MSN. (No, really- those situations destroy the use of MSN and everybody does it)
Double post today! And in case you’re wondering; this was originally going to be a review for Twitter but as you can see it quickly became some rather random blurp.
Sheryl- sometime after lunch she exclaimed on Twitterfaces “I’m either stuffed full of curry or about to have a little Indian baby”
Kari- She was playing Metin 2, attempting and mostly failing to communicate with English me. She also insisted on trying to attack mobs of much higher level than herself T.T
Kate: I sent you pictures of my new glasses- don’t you just love ‘em!?
Alphadingo: But they don’t suit you?
Kate: Is that a question?
Alphadingo: A statement, actually. My misuse of the question mark is noticed quite often.
Kate: I don’t get it o.O
Alphadingo: In this context the question mark is indicating inquiry of the statement previous.
Kate: English please?
Alphadingo: I’m confused as to why you’ve been so excited about getting these glasses when they don’t suit you.
Kate: They looked good by them self… wait; is that a real context?
Alphadingo: No idea. Makes sense, though?
Kate: There you go again!!!
