I am, maybe, something that only I may see anymore
I am, maybe, something you can't see today
So I'll wait till tomorrow, then I'll be today

Maybe, someday, I could see you again
I am an empty picture frame
And I wait for you to fill me up
But you're so far away, I'm so far away

Maybe I sit, wondering
Maybe I'm just lost
It's quite a big game we all play
Maybe I'll just lose my way

Karma is definitely one of life's Divine truths!

"You Push The Button"

George Eastman said,
"My work is done, why wait?"
Supporting such weighty ideals isn't anything for just anyone

Is there such a thing as metaphor based in reality?
Is real death seemingly foreshadowing falling glories only coincidence?
God - when will the allegory end?

I want comments telling me what the hell I'm talking about. Favors (but only sexual ones for a select few of you) to those who understand.

Some creative criticism would be nice too. *shrugs* I haven't written a poem in about fifty years.

Being up this late (among a few other things) is incredibly ridiculous. I like ridiculousness.

     He found an example within the field of music. He said, imagine that you walk down a street past, say, a car where someone has the radio on and plays a tune you've never heard before but which is so fantastically good it just stops you in your tracks. You listen until it's done. Days later you remember exactly what the street looked like when you heard that music. You remember what the colors of the cars in the street were, where the clouds were in the sky above the buildings across the street, and it all comes back so vividly you wonder what song they were playing, and so you wait until you hear it again. If it's that good you'll hear it again because other people will have heard it too and have had the same feelings and that will make it popular.
     One day it comes on the radio again and you get the same feeling again and you catch the name and you rush down the street to the record store and buy it and can hardly wait until you can get home and play it.
     You get home. You play it. It's really good. It doesn't quite transform the whole room into something different but it's really good. You play it again. Really good. You play it another time. Still good, but you're not so sure you want to play it again. But you play it again. It's okay but now you definitely don't want to play it again. You put it away.
     Now what has happened? You can say you've gotten tired of the song but what does that mean? Has the song lost its quality? If it has, why do you still say it's a good record? Either it's good or it's not good. If it's good why don't you play it? If it's not good why do you tell your friend it's good?
     If you think about this question long enough you will come to see that the same kind of division between Dynamic Quality and static quality that exists in the field of morals also exists in the field of art. The first good, that made you want to buy the record, was Dynamic Quality. Dynamic Quality comes as a sort of surprise. What the record did was weaken for a moment your existing static patterns in such a way that the Dynamic Quality all around you shone through. It was free, without static forms. The second good, the kind that made you want to recommend it to a friend, even when you had lost your own enthusiasm for it, is static quality. Static quality is what you normally expect.

Hmm...

Nothing much happening here. Bought a Nintendo DS, it's pretty much the shit. Furthermore, I really need a book that grabs me to read. Maybe I'll start Narnia or Good Omens tomorrow evening, hmm? I just wish that I found Hitchhiker's Guide more compelling.

Ain't nothing new in my life today
I'm tired of walking from place to place
I've yet to come across a friendly face
And now the words sound familiar, as they slam the door
"You're not the one they're looking for"
Ain't nothing new in my life today!
Ain't nothing true, it's all gone away!

If we only had time, only had time for you...
If we only had time, only had time for you...
If we only had time, only had time for you...

Hahaha, a Sephiroth-themed layout.

Ridiculous - this is a new realm of loser-dom
