A Story

Once upon a planet called Earth. there lived several funny looking creatures called human being. now human being varied in height and size and they came in a variety of colours. they also had two rather stiff looking things protuding from their upper torso’s which they used to move things around and also wave about madly when they seemed to be experiencing some sort of disagreeable emotion. the other two rather spindly looking things where attached to the lower torso and this enabled them to move about, now these were much more workable than the upper stiff looking things, for the simple reason that it enabled them to move about. they also emitted strange sounds from one of the openings situated on the head portion of themselves, possibly the lower half because it flapped each time a sound was emitted. not all of these funny creatures sounded the same, each one had a variation of the sound but they were constant in that some of the sounds emitted were very rapid and others rather slow and far spaced. Now what was perculiar about these weird creatures was that they tended to group together according to their various shades and whenever one of a particular shade of human somehow drifted to another shade it was either pushed away by the other shade or pulled back by its own shade. then one day when Earth was dark and all the creatures on earth slept, save for the four legged ones (but that is a story for another day). there, once again crept along a human, on the spindly looking things attached to its torso, towards another spindly looking thinged human but lo and behold! they were from two different shades of human. the others would soon push or pull them away but of course they were all asleep, save for the two errant creatures. then the most astonishing thing happened, one of the humans stretched forth one of the upper stiff protuding things towards the other and this prompted a similar reaction. the human beings now joined like a chain began to once again move about on their spindly looking things, away from where both of their groups slept peacefully and as the earth began to lighten…

Just a mere reflection..

It happens very rarely and when it does, just simply listening is enough. that’s how I feel about this particular piece I’ve found. it’s got a beautiful mellow sound to it. the ideal sort of sound for chilling. it makes one want to write. the lyrics combined with voice and tune set the mood perfectly.

“life is beautiful, wouldn’t you agree?”

i most certainly do agree. despite all the melodrama of our daily lives and all the strife across the globe… one cannot but sometimes take out a minute to smile at something, be it the innocent smile of little child or the vibrant colours of a flower in the garden, perhaps even the pink streaks the setting sun casts upon the blue-ish sky.

Life is beautiful… it sure is.

Very Rude Awakenings

I was just skipping along merrily, enjoying a night of “lose your mind in rock” session and feeling very mellow really,  when i decided to make the aquaintance of someone who had a name that sounded like a pearl. Looks harmless, or so i very mistakenly thought. Firstly my pearl assumption couldn’t have been more far from the truth, the name actually belonging in some sci-fi shenanigan. That aside, my little ‘venture’ seemed to be going along nicely, finally someone who can ask me more than just my “asl”, those three letters enough to make me shudder! When suddenly, i was thrust into a conversational topic that would usually make me bolt if i am somehow unable to steer away from it after 3 minutes. Nevertheless, no trapped feeling for me this time, cool as a cucumber and as still and level minded as the sky is just before a massive storm, i valiantly tried to toss back answers to questions i had no right to be answering in the first place (due to my ignomorous status), then just when i was about to declare myself injured, fate intervened on my behalf, clearly, my valiant attempts weren’t as valiant as i had supposed.  Needless to say, the discussion was terminated but the lesson to be learned is that it’s time i took note of these rude awakenings and trade in my mindless mission for something substantial, like the bolting conversational topic. Daunting as it may seem. Deep down inside, the little voice reassures me that it will only be to my advantage.

MiNdLeSs MiSsIoNs….

In this never-ending conquest to blatantly ignore life, I have yet again sought out a new avenue in which to lull myself into a sense of false bliss. Donning my virtual gowns of silk and taffeta, I waltz my way through page by page of romantic claptrap. Nothing could be a more perfect distraction, especially for one who revels in love that doesn’t involve oneself (not out of choice, mind). The heroes are always of exceptional quality; handsome, intelligent, rich and with just the right dose of anger, jealousy and possessiveness thrown in. What more could a girl ask for? Then while i am still swooning from hero number 1’s daring rescue of his heroine, i sail off to join hero number 2 in his quest to win heroine number 2’s hand. Never leaving enough space for reality to seep inbetween the cracks, for if this unthinkable thing should occur, i would misstep in this perfectly orchestrated waltz of mine, trod upon my silken gown and collapse into a heap upon the floor of the very existence i wish to escape. I end with this, to quote a friend: “how can i mind, if there isn’t a mind to mind?”

. . . . . here i go !!!

So this is it. I’m finally embarking on this modern day new found addiction. I sit here nervous as anything, slightly apprehensive too. What if I find that I have nothing to mindlessly rattle on about?! I guess I’ll just have to deal with it then. Truth be told, I have not the slightest clue why I’ve pushed my boat off the beach where I was busy lazing in the sun, into the vast, vast blue nowhere. The boat being my thoughts and the beach being my mind and the sun… well that’s for embellishment purposes. Ha! Blue nowhere is self explanatory. Anyway, hopefully something will come of this, if not meaningful, then at least something fun.
