  • What is truth? a mobile army of metaphors, metonyms, anthropomorphisms, in short, a sum of human relations which were poetically and rhetorically heightened, transferred, and adorned, and after long use seem solid, canonical, and binding to a nation. Truths are illusions about which it has been forgotten that they are illusions, worn-out metaphors without sensory impact, coins which have lost their image and now can be used only as metal, and no longer as coins.
    - Friedrich Nietzsche, Philosopher.


  • Spellings! Bah! Teeny little zits on the ass! Who cares!

    - Mukhtaran Mai.. No wait, Major Azhar! Haha!

  • Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion.
    - L. Ron Hubbard, Scientologist.


  • It's always good to end a paper with a quote. He says someone else has already said it best. So if you can't top it, steal from them and go out strong. So I picked a guy I thought you'd like. 'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.

    - William Melvin 'Bill' Hicks, Comedian.


  • Every man, woman and child alive should see the desert one time before they die. Nothing at all for miles around, nothing but sand and rocks and cactus and blue sky. Not a soul in sight. No sirens, no car alarms, nobody honking at you, no madman cursing or pissing on the streets. You find the silence out there. You find the peace. You can find God.
    - 25th Hour, movie.


  • Jesus loves me, but I just want to be friends.
    - ?


  • I used to think if I killed somebody I would want to go to the cemetery and apologize. That's not really what guilt is though. Guilt's a feeling you have towards people who are living. It's like everyday you're out there shaking hands, talking. But you, the guilty person, you know that it's all unreal. It's like guilt is this secret inside of you that destroys the fabric of everything, and then everything's unreal. You can't even have a life. But it's not necessary for it to destroy you. You just have to face it.
    - Crime and Punishment in Suburbia, movie.


  • Apollo stood on the cliff. Come to the edge, he said. We can't, they said, it's too high. Come to the edge, he said. We can't, they said, it's too high. Come to the edge, he said. We can't, they said, we'll fall. Come to the edge, he said. They came. And he pushed them. And they flew.
    - Chicken Soup, book.

    What A Wicked Thing To Say...

    Divinity beyond the reach of Caprice,
    And a niche that bears a fluttering flame.

    Here i sit, sheathed from wicked games.


    Your wicked games are the lining of an orb,
    Play and Surrender.
    The Orb will break.


    Caprice hath forsaken. The Orb thickens, stands imperishable.
    Its structure, remnant of past failures and scarlet tears. It shall hold, unless Destiny delivers its infamous blow.
    I shall fight, I shall not let my sword fall.
    It is my time. It is MY Game..


    ...Before the sword is raised,
    The samurai must find what he fights for.
    Only then, will the sword rest.

    The Orb thickens, but remember, the ocean raves and rages and whips itself into the frenzy of Olympic waves, before it kneels to the grain of sand.

    All music must rise, before it can subside.


    Did Priam's words to Paris ever justify war for love? Nay, for Love's doing was worse than that of the sword, and that is the object of fear today.

    The ocean's act of acquiesance, its passion borne whole by the tides, the climax upon the sand, leaves nothing but a wet beach where time leaves its footprints. What if it is a memory and nothing more? What if the orb you spun around me, the orb that i revel in, remains just... another dream...? That is the object of fear today.

    The music hath risen. The dance has begun. Nothing can subside now. Nothing can end it now....

    Dancer Musings.

    A girl was walking down the pathway in the grass. it was night, but a distant light fell on her figure, elaborating her beauty. she silently tiptoed onto the pavement, and giggled with glee as her feet grazed by the wet grass. her loose white gown flew as she glided gracefully, looking towards the sky and smiling as the raindrops pecked her face, blinking every now and then when a raindrop falls too... close... she spreads her arms, clenching her shawl in her left hand.
    she's not running, but she's not walking either. she is the horizontal rain.
    is she? is she Bliss...? is she the Dance of the Gods?
    is she the dream where i lost myself...?

    The girl stops for a moment. In a spiral of stories, amidst which she walks, there is one that she has not seen before.She lifts it out of the air around her, like early-morning sunshine that peels off the stench of antiquity off our coffee tables, and lets it glide across her hands. Its new. Through it, the horizontal rain touches her differently.
    Sometimes, we think we lose ourselves in dreams, not really sensing, that we have just switched dreams. Or glided from one dream into another. Some part of one dream, found a passageway leading into another, and hence, the connection.
    And then the Dance.
    Is it divinity?
    God?
    Or could it be, that its really us?

    she never stopped. her being became the spiral, and she herself was lifted from the myriad of understanding.
    she twirls round and round, like a quagmire channelling a hurricane. she has become the dervish. she shall become the mystic.
    she swivels and congeals herself in a cocoon of dreams - silvery and shining threads of affection and passion. within it is the portal that transports her from one dream to another, from one reality to another, from solitude to union.
    but it is not divinity.
    not God either.
    you're right. its us.

    What is "us", she wonders, if "us" is not God.
    The cocoon of dreams is, but a cocoon. All cocoons break to allow the whirling dervish to pass into the the next halo circling the centre.
    From halo to halo, she refuses to believe that there is anything beyond these haloes. He tells her, yes, that the circle can be torn through, that there will be an uplifting off of her "being".
    But she is looking for the centre. Essentially, the centre.

    It is the eye of the storm that she wants.

    If it is "us", she wonders, then what, she asks, is "us"?

    us is fire. us is the lust she burns in.
    us is the desire that resides within the storm she sees.
    us is the sparkle of the cocoon thread.
    us is everything. us is divinity.
    us is the purity of the halo.

    and she is the achievement of desire. she is pleasure, she is climax.
    she is the dream. she is the halo. she is the cocoon. she is God.
    and We are Divinity...

    Ah. Us. She understands. But she needs to reaffirm that "us" really exists.
    So she reaches out and touches "us". Fingers scrape against black. She wonders if the fire will burn her. But then she realizes, that fire does not burn fire.

    They dance as one.

    She is the cocoon. But the black she touches leads her out of it. Into the knowledge that she burns too. That they all burn.
    And in "us", we find divinity. And God. And the four elements. One.

    She holds onto the story now. Struggles to keep it close. Her fingers are not ready for the emptiness of a disconnected dream anymore. She wants the "oneness".


    Questions of Science; science and progress - don't speak as loud as my heart.

    Come Back and Haunt Me.

    Coldplay's good, no?

    yeah, Coldplay works..

    Mockingbird

    to Khyzer Mir and the morning twilight. cheers! :D

    Yeah
    I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now
    But hey, what daddy always tell you?
    Straighten up little soldier
    Stiffen up that upper lip
    What you crying about?
    You got me

    Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad
    When I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had
    I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh
    I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry
    Cuz you're scared, I ain't there?
    Daddy's with you in your prayers
    No more crying, wipe them tears
    Daddy's here, no more nightmares
    We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it
    Laney uncles crazy, aint he?
    Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it
    We're all we got in this world
    When it spins, when it swirls
    When it whirls, when it twirls
    Two little beautiful girls
    Lookin' puzzled, in a daze
    I know it's confusing you
    Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news
    I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems
    The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me
    All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see
    Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did
    We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me
    But things have gotten so bad between us
    I don't see us ever being together ever again
    Like we used to be when we was teenagers
    But then of course everything always happens for a reason
    I guess it was never meant to be
    But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is
    But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
    Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream

    [Chorus]
    Now hush little baby, don't you cry
    Everything's gonna be alright
    Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, i told ya
    Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
    I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
    We feel how we feel inside
    It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
    But i promise momma's gon' be alright

    It's funny
    I remember back one year when daddy had no money
    Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up
    And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me
    Cuz daddy couldn't buy 'em
    I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying
    Cuz daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job
    But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom
    And at the time every house that we lived in
    Either kept getting broke into and robbed
    Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar
    Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college
    Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it
    And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart
    And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart
    Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back
    On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment
    And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara
    And that's when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre
    And flew you and momma out to see me
    But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me
    Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it
    And you and Laney were to young to understand it
    Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit
    And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
    I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
    Cuz all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
    Now I'm sittin in this empty house, just reminiscing
    Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out
    To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now
    Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here
    Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here
    I like the sound of that, yeah
    It's got a ring to it don't it?
    Shh, momma's only gone for the moment

    [Chorus]

    And if you ask me too
    Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
    I'mma give you the world
    I'mma buy a diamond ring for you
    I'mma sing for you
    I'll do anything for you to see you smile
    And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine
    I'mma break that birdies neck
    I'd go back to the jewler who sold it to ya
    And make him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (haha)
