I'm sad, but I can change things...?

Well, I'm a newfound vegetarian, and I'm a bit tired of the rampant destruction of humankind.
So, now I feel like I need to say something about it. People need to change their eating habits, meat takes more land, more energy, and more money to raise than edible vegetation. We need to cut down, or eliminate our intake of meat so we can save the planet. We are destroying the planet with our greedy ways. And for the skeptics, we can get all the nutrients we need from plants, vegetables, fruits, nuts, beans etc.

Some people would say, "Hey, you're only one person" but when you think about it, presidents and prime ministers are only people, Mao Tse-tung, Hitler, Stalin, and Ghandi were only one person, (not that I put myself at Ghandi's level, or approve of Mao's, Hitler's or Stalin's methods), and look at what they managed to acheive. I believe that if whoever reads this blog thinks about, and changes their diet to a more enviromentally friendly one, they can in turn spread it out to their friends, and this chain could make a difference.


One
Within trees grown old and twisted,
lies one with emerald leaves.
It sees the death among its friends,
rolls out its golden sleeves,
With patient grace, a branch comes out,
shakes out a couple seeds.
They all spread out amongst the gloom,
away, the darkness bleeds.
Up from the ground, some hope comes out,
a young tree grows, new, pure
The life takes over, sets all free,
it is bliss, joy, a cure.
The hate is gone, now warmth remains,
in the sky, a shining sun.
The tree spreads out, basking in life,
knowing its job is done.
For it knew that it would succeed,
despite very high stakes.
Deep down inside, the knowledge brewed,
that one is all it takes.

Procrastination

I'm here, right now, in front of my computer, procrastinating. I should be doing my ghost story, but I don't feel like it and I have friends to talk to, so what the heck? I might as well enjoy myself tonight instead of slaving over a keyboard doing something I don't want to.

I was sitting there, looking at my msn page thingy, when to my utter horror, I saw a [french-ing] tag on someone! I thought at first, my god! that's sexual, but then, I was astounded that someone was actually talking about procrastinating! Fateema, her name was, and irresponsible, she was as well. But I was procrastinating as well, so hypocrisy was inevitable.

It seems today that we all lack that certain quality necessary to focus on one task that we find repulsive, horrid, or just plain boring, and finish it. Because of that, we are constantly flowing from one task to another, never finishing, like an impatient sumo wrestler going between meals.

But here and there, we have the odd person with the determination to continue with even the most daunting task, and finish it at a level close to perfection. These people may be able to sow their qualities throughout the general populous and allow us to bask in the ability to succeed and follow through.

So I just finished sorta ranting on that topic, so I think I'll let one of our greatest faults slide for now...

Poems #1

Yeah, I thought I might as well write out some of my poetry :D

Imagine a night…
With its darkness, strong.
And the world’s in waiting,
For the morning bird’s song.
Its calls will beckon,
Announce the day.
The dismal gloom
Of the night, it shall slay.
The silence draws out
To unbearable lengths.
When, hark, the bird sings
And shows off its strengths.
The blackness dissolves,
To reveal the light.
It’s there to prevail,
To banish the night.
The sunrise appears,
In full shine and glory.
Its gold and rose hues,
Telling their story.
The sun rises up,
High into the sky.
Knowing, of course,
That it soon shall lie,
Down to rest,
On the other side.
And we’ll wait ‘til next morning,
We shall abide.

English assignment... :D

Dream blog #1

So, I'm trying this thing, where I write down my dreams

Last night, I had a dream of epic proportions. I was alone in my room, when I was called to NASA headquaters, where I had to undergo testing to prove whether or not I could go into space. I had an artifical blood tube go into my arm, and it accelerated my blood flow to thousand of multiples of times faster than usual. Suddenly, I burst, splattering the room with oxygenized blood. Yeah, kinda gory, but at least it was decent :P

And I also dreamed a gopher was watching me, sorta like this one: http://youtube.com/watch?v=y8Kyi0WNg40

First of many

Well, here I am, writing my first post of possibly many more. Although I'm not sure exactly what to write about, I'll try my best...

So I was sitting here, in the far corner of my living room, with Mythbusters in the background on the tv (they were exploding cars), when I looked at my brother. He was just sitting there, all 245 pounds of him, on the couch watching the television with a black stare on his face. It struck me that a quickly growing percentage of the world is just like that, obese, lazy and captivated by actvities requiring no more energy than blinking. Technology has brought our physical lives to a halt; we no longer need to search for food, work hard, or use most of our muscles because of wireless technology. We are become stagnant, like a puddle left to fester in the gutters. The glories of our society, the great wall of china, monolithic art and sculptures, and constructions are disappearing because of the sheer effort required to do them. People need to realize that life is more than what is in range of the tv remote, or the keyboard, and that we need to work at life to feel fufilled. And with that, I must go hottub, and I will return, to post more blogs on the computer, therefore subjecting myself to a certain level of hypocrisy. Fair thee well :P
