Every morning I put it on,
I walk outside and I am gone,
And I don't seem to mind anymore,
I cant think what it was like before,
I wore it all the time.

In the evening I take it off,
But there's another one underneath,
And I cant seem to find,
The bottom of the sack,
I might just lose my mind,
And never get it back,
But at least Ill get inside.

Ever stop and think if you are really you? No Im not tripping on anything in particular at the moment /:3 I mean.... Well each of us has a proverbial bag full of 'masks' we wear in particular occasions.... You are 'this' person at work, but you could be 'that' person among friends. and how many people almost never / never actually are themselves, electing instead to act in a way they think would be more acceptable to the outside world. I dare say there are a few who do this so much and in all aspects of their lives that they lose their actual identity, to burn out in the long run. And yet... there are individuals who simply don't fit into society. Who, in all likelihood, would never be accepted unless they change, conform. Which then would be the greater sacrifice. Remaining yourself and losing the world, or losing yourself to be in the world?

Be in the world.... not of it. ~ Jesus Christ

Oh look its this one again

Right then. 8:15am, Tuesday morning, and im bored so bad I could stone my own $#!t to death. So lets do something im sure everyone has seen at least once before in one form or another. Following this post, reply in comment, with your favorite game/movie quotes and lets see how far it goes. /:3

Ex:

Guard1: "Look just come back here and play already, its your turn"
Guard2: "Yeah I just need time to think about my next move alright?"
Guard1: "*sigh* Its easy, look, you just pick up this and this, show this, so you have a pair and then......oh bollocks..."
Guard2: "What? Whats the matter?"
Guard1: "You won....I just won FOR you."
Guard2: "Haha! Pay up Mortimer......what I won?"

Ex2:

Shale: "I have a question for the qunari, what does it think of humans?"
Sten: "In my homeland we have similar creatures, humans call them monkeys. they are cowardly, annoying creatures that react shrilly when threatened and throw their own feces."
Shale: "That is an EXCELLENT comparison. Does it think they may be related?"
Sten: ".......possibly...."

Come on! Its Jack! And he wants bananas, what more IS there to say? :D Other then the fact that I think I might be having a good day for the first time in quite a long while. Its a feeling I missed. Glad its back. Wish JN was picked to be Wolverine. Of course that would likely only have worked if it was a few years back. :3 But he could probably still do it. #@$%$^ man, hes JACK! >:3

Capn's log Sometime in the night in a dark hole somewhere cool

Ahhhhg.... I finally have the opportunity to get some decent long and late sleep in, rest up, and what happens? Cant sleep. And its been going on for days now. I cant shake the feeling of dread on my shoulders lately. Like something bad is going to happen. No im not talking about SA bludgeoning its reputation with a 2x4 during the soccer championships :p Something....else, something I cant put my finger to. 'They' keep referring to death. Death in the family? Maybe. My cousin is critically ill with blood cancer. They said there is nothing they can do for her anymore. Its a matter of wait for the end now. Heh.... funny somehow isnt it? Its over before its over? Somehow I wonder if thats fair. being able to physically watch someone slip away and theres nothing you can do to stop it, no switch, no mirrors, no cords to pull to end the illusion and show where they are hidden. Life is rather complex, and living it more so. However thats NOT whats haunting me. This is something I know about, whats bothering me is an UNknown... Watched 'The Book of Eli" today. Have to say I was suitably impressed. Wasnt at all what i thought it would be about, I really enjoyed it. On the surface Id say its almost exactly the type of atmosphere you'd get from the Fallout genre, even a few concepts were the same: Lone wanderer in the post civilization wasteland, posessing a particular piece of 'tech' no one else does, heck even the society he was heading to reminds me of the Brotherhood Of Steel, and they live in a place looking much like Rivit City :D And below the surface...... Faith. Hope. the most coveted treasure left in that sad world. The Bible. The word of God. A book so many of us disregard and chuck onto a shelf to gather dust and sit forgotten, unheeded, in that world they tore each other to pieces to get a hold of. Cant help but wonder. Is that what it would take to turn folks in the right direction?

Captain's Log Earth date 31 May 2010

Murphy! You shameless porker! You mock me from beyond the grave!

Typical, Ive been wanting to reactivate the ADSL line in my home for a long time now and finally get my butt in gear enough to DO something about it. So I ask around about a nice [and by nice I mean decent AND affordable, im working on a budget here xD] ISP and found one offering a fast uncapped service for less then I payed for a 3GB cap at Telkom. Woohoo! :D So I sigh up, get the paperwork out of the way, go to the Telkom office, reactivate the line and tell them I wanted to use it for the InTeRwEbZ! A technician comes by the next day or so, tests the line, ok's it and says all's well. I dig out my old router, hook it up but for the life of me I cant get it working. Test everything, but nothing. Eventually a lightbulb goes on in my head. WAS the line actually converted? So I call up and ask them to test it, they tell me I should go in to one of the branches in town. Im thinking WTF.... but off we go. So I get there explain the situation and the operator smiles and with genuine feeling tells me. "Im sorry sir, we dont know WHEN you're line will be made active. You see, because of this nation-wide strike there is no one at head office to press the button."

I cant help but think its funny somehow /:3

Law or lawl?

Lets have a little test shall we? How many would agree with the statements to follow in this posting, Ill add a new one every so often. True or false, and give a reason or example please :D

1) Whenever you try to pick up a single object, it somehow always seems to be snagged on just about everything else in the entire universe!

2) If its worth doing, its worth OVERdoing.

3) the likelihood of getting sick increases to closer you get to a weekend or holiday.

4) An unbreakable toy is useful for breaking OTHER toys.

5) To make the perfect cup of coffee you need to reinvent the universe.

6) The one you want is NEVER the one on sale.

7) the phone will begin to ring inside when you are outside fumbling for the keys to open the front door, and then STOP ringing just as you are about to pick up.

8) In Every organization there is always one person who knows exactly whats going on.....that person will be fired.

Venomous looms and winding mossy ways

Our works in stone, in paint, in print, we spared some for a few decades, or a millennium or two, but everything must finally fall and more, or wear away into the ultimate... universal ash. The triumphs and the failures, the treasures, the fakes the fact of life.....we are going to die. Be of good heart; pry the dead artists out of the living past. Our songs will all be silenced......but what of it.....? Go on singing.

Ready.......FIGHT!

Now is all my reason thrown down... For if I am yet sane, then the world has become a lunatic asylum. Towers of stone and glass pierce the night sky higher then the tallest cathedral spires. Juggernauts of steel hurtling across black ribbon roads of fused cobble, people wandering the streets heedless of the dangers that surround them. Oblivious to their own ends they cry, passing through one another like shadows in the dying light of day. Has the end of all things come and gone? Is this world another's hell?

On your marks! Aim! Three!
