Because It Makes Me Laugh

11/20/2014

 
Currently I am re-reading something I wrote in 2009. It was for Nanowrimo so it was written in a flurry and I hardly remember anything about it. BUT I think it has potential so I am taking another look at it. It's weird reading something you wrote so long ago. It feels like I'm reading another person's work, that's how weird it is.

Anyways's this small insert made me laugh. It's three best friends, two females, one male, just out of high school. There is an Easter Egg hidden in it too.
“You really think you’re gonna meet your true love that way, huh?” Bobby pulled on a hand full of grass.”

“Maybe,” Rebecca shrugged her shoulders again.

“Jealous,” Amanda threw a clod of dirt at him.

Bobby sat up again. “I don’t need to take this kind of abuse from you guys. I got all kinds of people waiting to abuse me.”

“Oh calm down,” Amanda grabbed his sleeve. “We do it out of love, those other people do it for sport.”

Bobby huffed and collapsed into the grass again.


Once I'm done reading through it I will be posting it on my Venture Forth website and Wattpad. If you're interested, I would love some feedback, I'm not really sure what to do with it.

Reality's a Fallacy

11/5/2014

 
You chose the reality you live in. Every person on the planet has this power. Imagine a glass of water that contains a liquid equal to half its volume. This glass of water is often presented to us with only two options. Now which option you chose does give some indication of the reality you’re living out of but I think there are more than two ways to think about this glass of liquid. 

                ~Philosophically, there is no glass. 

                ~Symbolically, what does it mean to me the observer? 

                ~Scientifically, what is it, exactly? 

                ~Politically, how can I use this glass and its contents to my advantage? 

                ~Mathematically, half empty is equal to half full; it is the same amount of liquid in ratio to the   volume available. 

                ~Physiologically, it will refresh no matter how much there is. 

                ~Sardonically, what’s with the stupid glass, aren’t there better things to talk about. 

SIDE NOTE: If we're going to get literal, the glass is completely full of something unless it's in a vacuum.

There are more options I’m sure but you get the idea. We are limited only by our own perceptions. Get unreasonable.* What are you going to do with that glass and its contents?
*"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man." 
-George Bernard Shaw
