Absent Musings

So there I am... searching for a book to read and upon not finding anything to spark my interest I decide to pluck out one of my favourite novels by Anne Rice. Between my hardcover copies of Pandora and Taltos however happened to be a small book I missed in my search and as I drew Pandora out, it fell to my feet.

The ever-curious creature, I bend over to pick it up. A small black book. ...

So recently I've discovered the wonders of using Google as my graphing calculator, and for some reason I decided it'd be hilarious to be a nerd and post this shit up in a blog. However I'd assume most of you have already seen something the likes of this, but to continue on with my title...

2*sqrt((-abs(abs(x)-1))*abs(3-abs(x))/((abs(x)-1)*(3-abs(x))))*(1+abs(abs(x)-3)/(abs(x)-3))*sqrt(1-(x/7)^2)+(5+0.97*(abs(x-0.5)+abs(x+0.5))-3*(abs(x-0.75)+abs(x+0.75)))*(1+abs(1-abs(x))/(1-abs(x))), ...

My stumbling upon a fairly curious conversation this morning got me thinking about the future of mankind. Granted my thoughts and the conversation itself are not at all connected, nevertheless I felt I ought to share this.
Relocation to a different planet or at least the exploitation of a different planet's resources are options we are soon to have. Not as soon as my lifetime however, ...

So yesterday was probably the only sunny day we're going to see for the next month or so, and my mom decided that she wanted us to go out. I have a fairly high cold tolerance so I'm alright with just wearing a sweater when others are in full-winter-coat mode. We gtfo and go to the park and I leave my jacket in the car since the sun was fairly warm and my mom takes her winter jacket and scarf. The conversation ...

.oO(Just felt like writing out the image I had in my head.)

Fingers brushed over the light switch, and darkness filled the small room. Everything was silent, empty. Her every breath seemed to carry an echo, and it left behind the faint scent of alcohol. Her hand lingered against the cold cement wall, and her fingers slid down as her arm fell by her side. By the time her eyes accommodated ...

Sometimes I have these moments of clarity when the world around me crumbles, when the walls I've so diligently lifted come crashing down due to nothing more or less than silence.
Perhaps that is a lie, perhaps there is more to it and I just can't point it out right now, but all I can say for certain is that I am... surprised.

I had so much to say here, so much to let slip ...

Sometimes we find hope in the most forlorn places.
Be in the darkest alleyways or darkest corners of our minds. Be it in conversations with strangers, or conversations with ourselves. Be it on the rooftop of a building in the middle of the night. Nothing but darkness around, and twinkling lights in the distance.

When that feeling of hope first begins to grow in your ...

As you may have noted by now, I do enjoy posting up some form of comic strips with my blog. Perhaps it's childish but it gives me something to smile at since I don't exactly re-read my blog.

I haven't made a post last night and my brain is not happy at this. It bludgeoned me with repetitive requests to write down another phrase for you, and another. To release all ...

This collection of words stems from my desperate need to release my thoughts in some way or another, and I find that as soon as I grasp a pen between my fingers – everything ceases. My thoughts are no longer there, and as soon as I begin to formulate the first few words I find myself disgusted at the very look of them.
But here… here my fingers move far too quick for me to even begin ...

It creeps in every single time.
Like clockwork.
I can feel it, slithering and crawling and wrapping its bloodied claws about my throat - forcing me awake. Forcing my eyes to stay open.

Ah, insomnia, wilt thou ever leave me?

It's abysmal.

I hunger for sleep, I yearn for release. A moment of peaceful, quiet rest unplagued ...

Another day has come to an end, another collection of thoughts unravels on a blank screen.
Another adventure has been completed, another dragon has been slayed.
And now
I am left
With boredom.

It's frustrating and all-encompassing.
Disappointing.
Mind-numbing.
Eww-causing.

I'm bored. To the point of being ...

Inspiration doesn't come every day.
So when it hits you.
Grab it.

Consider me temporarily inspired. Consider my typically insipid life suddenly lit up with the desire to express myself. To string words together and form whatever sentences and phrases I feel will accurately portray how I feel right now. But how do I feel? That is a mystery in itself even to me. ...
