No. 42

I have a lot of old inactive blogs. I just closed down "Graphite, Ink, Keyboard." from http://graphiteinkkeyboard.blogspot.com/ which i planned to use to post up really old (and really bad) poems from middle school but never put to use. I am also closing down "Assistance to Existance" (for those who put up Resistance to Existance heehee...) from http://assisttoexist.blogspot.com/ and i'm moving all those old posts to here. Enjoy my silly thought from back then :)

P.S. The links wont work because the blogs are gone.

Feeling stupid

This post is probably going to sound really stupid. I was just looking through all of the blogs that I have created and never really posted to. I found this one in the process and apparently I did make a few posts to this one. They're all really dumb though. I'm such a lousy writer. I have nothing worth saying. Well...maybe I'll start using this more frequently. I'd like to blog. It'd probably be good for me. Well, whatever-- I'll keep you posted.

Relationships

"The only consistent feature in all of your dissatisfying relationships is you."

-Larry Kersten

As depressing as that may sound, its true. If you take it as a slap in the face at least it should wake you up. Anybody can be friends with anybody if you do the right thing.

You have lots of friends!

Friends are everywhere, you just havent made them yet.

Revelations

Common sense never really was quite common and now is less common than ever and special education is no longer that special anymore.

Do you believe in magic?

We all know about the "special feelings" people get in life. The feeling the music in a movie simulates. Like the feeling that tells you, this is it, this is the one. But its not there, these feelings dont really exist. They are simply the realization of what something could be. Realizing that you could be happy with this peron for the rest of your life, realizing that the topic of writing is something much deeper than you expected, realizing what creating you could put into this peice of art, realizing that this moment captured could mean something to people all around the world. You wont get a special feeling every time you think you're in love, or every time you have something to write about, or something to draw, or capture in a photograph. There's no special feeling thats going to hand you the perfect moment untingeable by pain. Pain is part of life and brings out whats great, and you can't life a good life without pain. These special feelings wont tell you to get up and do something, so stop waiting for them. Get off of your own ass and breath in deep, look around and realize what you can bring out in this world. Start caring about things you'd just normally ignore. Take a walk through the world and get that special feeling every step of the way.

Originality

People learn from copying and imitation, but when it comes to the point of plagerism of ones personality and the mochary of their individuality from anothers simple minded foolishness is when it becomes the commonly known annoyance.

Fortune Cookie

Out at a dinner with my family after finishing the best meal I had had in weeks, my younger brother handed out fortune cookies. At first glance I noted one slightly golden cookie in the center of the plate and ignored it, grabbing for one of the more normal cookies. I rethought my decision, taking notice of a feeling that there was something different about that cookie, well aware that the golden-brown tint was most likely from being overcooked. I dropped my normal cookie back on the plate and reached for my golden cookie to have my brother shouting, "they're all the same!" over and over, somehow seemingly amusing himself. I held the cookie in front of me and observed its color for a few more seconds before unwrapping it and taking a few accidental glances on the fortune inside. Yes, they were really accidental. I tried not to peek as I broke the cookie almost perfectly in half being sure to hide the suprise fortune from myself until after I had finished consuming the cookie. I do not love fortune cookes but the taste isnt one that would drive you away. I don't especially enjoy the crunchiness but I could imagine much distaste I would have towards the little cookie if it were soft and mushy. I read the back of the slip of paper first which had the normal learn chinese piece that had the english word, the pinyin (mandarin pronounciation), and the chinese characters for the word. My word was April, pronounced Si-yue. I could recognize both but only identify the first of the two charachters to make up this word, the first charachter was four and the second I was not sure of, for I havent been using any chinese in years, but I think it may have been the character for moon. So after finalizing my brief observation of that side of the slip of paper i flipped it around to passively notice the normal four recatangles at each of the corners. I then began to read the fortune: "Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide. " And that my friends, I could not agree with more.
