Your face haunts my dreams...

...I wish you would know that. I wish you were aware of what you mean to me. I sleep thinking about you, and i wake up with a crisp and smiling image of your face, burnt into my eyes like sticking my finger into a grill. I can't escape you, it seems. Almost as if i am dreaming that i am still falling and anticipating your arms to be outstretched to catch me; but in reality, i have already hit the ground. And i know that i still think of you, constantly. Every word that i learn in a different language helps me to create a new sentence about you in that language. Every math equation i learn makes me get the precise location of where you will be and when you will be there. Every day i wish that you were here... and i know that if i keep on wishing, eventually i will be existing in my fantasy, and this life merely a nightmare where you do not have any effect in my life. And i know that if i don't let you go, i won't realize that i will never have you. I know that i have to get into my "reality" car and drive away into the mystic fog that devours my hopes and demolishes everything that i hold dear. I am fully aware that i will never have you, that i will never kiss your lips, that you will never hold me as if i were a fragile china doll.... and yet i still wonder why exactly i am still falling for you....


Just the Beginning

No matter who we are or what language we speak, we as a universe, as humans in general, can always agree on one thing under any circumstances. There is a beginning and there is an end. No matter what words are spoken or what actions taken, there is always a start and always a finish. Nothing lasts forever. And if you'd like to argue with what I have just said, I would like to point one thing out to you: You aren't going to live forever, so how would you know what will last forever or not. You can also say that everything lasts forever, but you won't ever find that out. At least not now, not here.

Upon mentioning that, there are some things that people just don't understand. How people come to be, nobody knows; I have to admit, I am not wasting my time to find out. I am sure that other people are fanatics. They will disagree full-heartedly with the two things that I just said. Either that everything begins and everything ends, or the fact that knowing whether or not we have a start matters at all. So many people out there dedicate their lives to studying the topics that I just satisfyingly dealt with in one and a half paragraph's. Let me rephrase that so that it satisfies me. So many people out their spend their moment wasting it on why they are where they are. If that makes no sense to you, let me ask you a question (that coincidentally I have no control over whether it is rhetorical or not because you can answer me anyway by e-mail). What's the point of living life in preparation for death? I'm sure that if you are reading this, you are surely going to finish reading this website before you email me, so I can keep going without worries that you will disclude everything that I say later on and just base your complaint/comment on what was just said prior to these three words: There's no point. Shall I continue? I shall anyway. There's no point in wasting life trying to understand what we are doomed to undertake as a human being. We might as well accept the fact that death happen and are most often followed by tears, which are, in most usual cases, tears of sadness, regret. Eventually they develop. Tears of hate, tears of love, tears of loss, then finally, tears of acceptance. No matter how the biology books or encyclopedia's or even dictionary's put it, death will always be the same and it will always strike a human down with the most unfortunate ill-fated priority of their lives. To end it. If you want to go with an accurate definition, here:

And so that we have gotten that over our shoulder's, we have realized that death is the end. Well, what would we consider the beginning? Birth, of course.

So, have you ever given any though to the fact that there is only one major event in your life? The Middle. I mean, in the world I live in, the two most important events are two things that we have and had absolutely no control over whatsoever. So why don't we celebrate the middle. So have we agreed, that it is senseless to prepare to death, and senseless to look upon our positioning. Senseless, i'm sure you'll disagree, to look upon a higher being who will, if I understand what everything this dude does, kill you in the end. What a nice guy? A guy who doesn't exist or matter in my world, but to other people, at least they have some clarity. Well, we all know that someone believes something or not, and I choose to think of it all as a load of bullshit but someone reading this may take that offensively but I can't apologize at this moment because if they had read the note upon entering the website and even on the side of the page on the vertical scroller, it says that I ask anyone who thinks they will be offended by my opinions to leave. If you haven't left and you aren't offended, you're at the right place, if you're offended well... can't say I didn't warn ya.

Now, if you think you are confused now, well... #1: Try living with me. #2: Read on. Confusion is not only a good thing, but it makes you read things over so that you get clarity and closure. The more I confuse you, the more you will begin to understand with rereads. Now, I shall continue.

Life is a paradox and it doesn't make much sense.

Madonna used this line in the song "Like it or Not" on her new Confessions on a Dance Floor CD. I can't help but to agree that this is totally true. Contrary to all our belief's, strengths and weaknesses, hopes, fears... life can be totally contradictory to it all. But we have nothing to understand except the common sentence: That's just the way it is. There are things that we know are way out of our league of understanding that we have just given up on trying to understand. Life is one of them, at least, one i've given up on. Life is short, sweet, sour and thouroughly outrageous. But no matter which way the wind blows, we can only blow harder right back at it hoping the wind will change directions, which it never will. Instead, your breath is gonna come right back at your face.

It annoys the hell outta me how little sense I am making. I try and I try but it seems that no matter how hard I do try, I can't quite say all that I want to say with the clarity I want to say it. And also, I am sure that that confusion things is a load of bullshit. Confusion sucks.



"You will never really understand how much you miss something until it's gone."

Very popular quote, if i may quote it myself. Everyone agrees... it's true. Things are taken for granted. And exactly that; the synonym of not missing something until it's gone is taking something for granted. We all have and still do that in life, no matter how many times that quote is put in our face. It is inevitable; just like birth, just like death. And as we figure that we want to take everything into perspective, give everything a sense of your undivided attention, you don't have a single clue what you would miss until it is gone. So, along your search for what you would miss if it were gone, you figure it doesn't exist.

But it does. And when it's gone, you will notice it. But not until it's gone will you realize that while you were looking for what you would miss, you missed the most important thing there. Whether it's love, an object or item of sentimental value, or an animal, or even just a simple painting... they're gone before you gave them your undivided attention.

Everyone has an item of sentimental value. And, technically, every item has sentimental value to some point, even if you don't own it. Songs, a CD, or a book that you pass by again and again... i mean, sentimentality is just an undiagnosed disease that ails everyone blindly. Even the World's Strongest Person isn't a non-sentimental person. But the problem with sentimentality is that everything just means so much to you that you never want to let go... even if you don't know why something or someone is important, the fact is that you might remember why they are important, and someday, maybe you would recognize something for what it really is.
But sentimentality is not the item of topic for this. Sentimentality is just one subdivision that i am trying to point out.
Well, to get to the point i am trying to make, i am going to have to totally go off topic. Well, not totally.
...Okay, well, either you haven't or you will notice that i am emo, and either i am forcing you to read to this, you have to, or it actually may interest you, i don't know so... i will try to make this short, but that may still be considered long to you...

Okay, well... we all suppose that we have one life. And if you don't then skip this paragraph. Okay, well... right now you may consider reading this a waste of your time... and maybe it is... i mean, it's your life... I may have wasted my life making this website. I'm sure that i won't regret it, but normally i wouldn't think to regret it anyway. So, you may be wondering, what point, exactly, AM i trying to prove or establish. I will get to that, and please forgive my rambling.
As i will point out later, life is composed of three steps: Birth, Life, and Death. Almost like a magic trick, composed of three stages, or acts: The ___, the ___, and The Vestige. (And yes, i got that from the movie.)

And, now that we are into supporting quotes, i will toss you another popular one.

"Life is short."

Now, anyone who is dead could probably give you some good advice. But the trick is to actually use the advice your given. Take advantage of oppurtunity to live and have FUN living. I mean, what's the point of living when you're not having fun doing so.
See, this is where i don't get it. What's the point? Why are we so blind, so biased, so bigoted... so stupid, i guess, to everything that we need to cherish. I mean, we have this one life where we can have anything in the world, and everyone takes it for granted. I wish that i could easily comprehend and carry out the mysteries, but this life would be boring without mysteries.
Okay, where to continue... (You see, this time i know the ending, but i haven't a clue where to start.)

Umm.... lets just give information. Now, you have this one life and you are afraid to live. You just sit moping around and you don't do anything. What's the point. Go and skydive, join the coast guard, the army. Do SOMETHING. (Gee, i sound like a "VERB- It's what you do" commercial!). Let's look at life this way. Life is a desert and we are merely walking down the desert.With no water and no food, we cna't live forever. Surely, we can't live for long at all. And the more moves we make, the less energy we have to make the next one. Then, nighttime comes in the desert and it is freezing, and we regenerate, and then we do the same thing we did the day before. And it's a wonder that we don't ever get tired. A wonder that we don't die earlier. But as we walk into the sunset that last time, who would've thought that it'd be an end. Who would've thunk that although you thumbed on the side of the road for utmost 80 years, not one car would pass by. Who would've thunk that you stumbled once on the road when you were 2 and learning how to walk, that a car would happen to drive by once and knocked the life right outta ya before the desert had a chance to. Who would've thunk that a baby would accidentaly be born underwater, in the ocean, and drowned. Who would've thunk?

But those are the kinds of things that happen in life. And in death. We know and are fully aware that we can't change anything, but we still look on the past with regrets and dreams of doing something right. Well, what do i know? I mean, for all i know, we may as well have to look upon the past with regrets as to scare us from mistakes we may make in the future.But, i mean, that's basically saying that we're living in fear. I mean, this website won't go on forever. I'm gonna die someday. Who knows, maybe i will pass this website down through my family to be updated and edited... but it won't be the same. The desert will kill me someday, and that will be the end of my trek through the desert. I mean, these someday may be looked upon as my thoughts (maybe even my psychotic thoughts), but they're thoughts, ideas, decisions, revelations. Everything i touch upon is something that my brain wanted me to express. And it will never be touched on exactly word for word (unless someone copies it word for word, but it wouldn't have the same meaning). I mean, the spot that you are sitting on right now, you're never gonna sit exactly the same way, in the same spot, doing or thinking the same thing... i mean, the end comes with every moment that takes place. It's almost like, lightning doesn't strike twice in the same spot. I mean, it can strike two centimeter's from the origin of the first spot, but it is never gonna cut that two centimeters off. I mean, once it hits, it's the end. The last time that exact spot can be struck. I mean, it sure as hell may look like it hit the same exact spot under scrutinatoin by a quick glimpse the next lightning bolt to come your way, but, it was a little farther away. Okay, stupid point, rambling on... what point could i ever be getting to. Well, who knows! Decipher it. Scour it. If you really want to know, you will take the time to find out.
But, i will keep on going with points. I mean, i'm not dead yet so my brain still has stuff it wants me to express... Okay, i am going to start anew. New quote, new topic. Anything that i discussed in the paragraph may not hold any necessary foreground besides what you think it may hold.

"The words drift skyward...

...They sit still and are half-buried in golden leaves. Roy's white shirt gleams. He pulls Nathan against him and for a while they become one flesh. Roy is rapt, as if he is singing inside. Or maybe it's more as if he is blossoming, a flower opening at this very moment. Nathan remembers, oddly, Preacher John Robert's leaning over the pulpit toward the congregation in puzzlement, in confusion at the notation of the Disciple John resting his head on Jesus' chest. Nathan rests his head there on Roy and understands. In the distance they hear the voice of people searching for them in the woods. They stand and go. They never look back."

~"Dream Boy", Jim Grisley (ISBN #: 0-684-82992-4)

That last paragraph, the last sentence especially, of the stunning and captivating book by Jim Grisely, just hit me. All of a sudden, i read it once and it just passed through my head like the ghosts of summertime. I read it a second time and it hit me. Hit me long, hard, and paradoxical. I wondered... what exactly is never looking back? Does it mean that the past is forgotten, or is it to be taken literal; that the main character(s) never truly physically look back at the surroundings, nature and social, they once encountered as one. It just struck me odd... one of those perfect moments, the moments that helps you to realize that somewhere out there in the vast wilderness, someone is looking for me. I hope they know to wait... that i am looking for them, and hope to find them. I mean, some dreams can come true.
But then i am forced to wonder, do we live forever hiding or running from something or someone. Unconsciously, are we scared, even if we are the bravest and most courageous. Does everyone's heart swell when someone else cry, or are there people out there so cold that they can't understand why we are so emotional and tearful. Is this world, life as Madonna puts it, just one large paradox. A sad story that someone would cling onto as if it were a book or novel of some sort, that you would read; and no matter how many times you would read it, it will always say the same thing. Every word will mean the same thing. Someone else has thought of each action in depth before you... but that doesn't mean that the actions therefore changed... Everything is predestined like a book. We are meant to live, We're meant to die. Even i can predict that.
