"God does not play dice with the universe; he plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players, to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-da…
No. I always thought I did, but I've since refined my answer. Living forever, implies invulnerability as well as immortality, meaning aside from not ever dying of old age, or disease, you'd be insusceptible to guns, bullets, fire, and anyth…
Say what you will about the sweet miracle of unquestioning faith, I consider a capacity for it terrifying and absolutely vile. -Kurt Vonnegut
I want to write. Like, write a novel. I'll start, and transcribe my first chapter here so you guys can see how it's going. :D
More and more recently I've come to the conclusion I just hate people. It's usually not their fault, they just unconsciously do things that make me think, "Yep, you're a moron. I won't like you." And it's usually small things, things that,…
What is the point of patriotism? Or being true to your culture? Or, should I say, the culture of your ancestors? Particularly if, like myself, you didn't grow up adhering to the teachings, or lifestyle of that culture. I could've been born …
I don't fear death. I've long since accepted my mortality. I know when death finally wraps a skeletal arm around my shoulders, and beckons me into its embrace, I won't resist, because I've seen the indignity of those who try, and those who …
I love writing. Especially designing characters. Weaving together their personalities, their actions, their appearances and their relationships with other characters that I also created. Filling a fictional world with beings who can intera…
Even After All this time The Sun never says To the Earth, "You owe me." Look What happens With a love like that. It lights the Whole Sky. -Hafiz, fourteenth-century Sufi poet
I'd slowly accumulate bits and pieces of things I found and construct a makeshift home, under a bridge ideally because of the shelter from the elements, and also because I'd pretend to be a troll. I'd get myself a dog companion. But not a r…
(This is a long post, just to warn you.) I've never been one for religion. My father was an atheist, but wanted me to choose my own religious path and so, never spoke to me about religion until I was 15. My mother took a more active part i…
I love the night sky. I haven't sat beneath the stars in over five years, but I miss doing it so much. Damn light pollution, air pollution, and the cost of a telescope. I will this year, at all costs, go on some kind of holiday, and skate i…
Cookie-cutter people have never appealed to me. Fads come and go, and barely anybody truly sits back and watches as they pass, ignoring the deluge of their companions rushing to see what's new. Even so-called hipsters, who hate the "mainst…
Sometimes I wonder if people even want to look for new information anymore. Or even sit back and examine old information. Information that matters now, and will tomorrow. Timeless information, not the banal activities of celebrities you sho…
The idea you can correct society's inequalities by focusing solely on the issues of one group.
He appeared normal. He spoke and behaved just like anyone else. The fact that he had no heart was very well concealed. Well, that's not entirely true. He did have one. It was just not in his possession at the moment. And this is where the s…
I find it really interesting that because of light having to travel from where it is produced to us, we see the stars as they were years ago. For all we know, the stars we're looking at aren't even there anymore, but because of where we are…
There isn't much to explain about me. My name is Tyler, I'm 20, a university student living in a dorm in London, and I'm studying to be a Games Designer. Since I was young it was really all I wanted to be. The simple, almost primal pleasure…
The man stared absently at the glass of orange juice he'd poured. Tapped his pen gently against his pad as if that would dislodge the blockage he felt in his mind, and allow his proverbial creative juices to flow. A few minutes of this went…
"Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?" - Douglas Adams, author of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
The longer I stared at him, the more sinister he became. His painted, chalky skin seemed to hang off his bones, wrinkling slightly in a scowl pronounced only at his small, black eyes. His lips curled up at the edges, joining two long, red s…
In my opinion, art is the product of creativity and ability. Creativity without aim, or skill doesn't work as well, and ability on its own results in reproductions, which can be artistic, but I don't see it as true, and personal, art.
