Logicless Logic

so how?

Such an easy question to ask. Why doesn't anyone ask themselves that question and try to answer it?

stick.

Too much inactivity in the day, it seems, might lead to slightly less sleepy nights. Or perhaps just a mind over active at the wrong time. Slightly inebriated by chrysanthemum tea, the mind wandered into semi-subconscious territory. The topic of life floated to the surface, like how a cigarette butt floats in the water of an ash tray.

Life(or rather a person) it seems, could be likened to a lighted cigarette. Once the flame of life ignites one at birth, he begins to slowly burn away. As the seconds go by, more and more of the cigarette becomes ash, more and more of the person becomes a little figment of history, his story. The cigarette gets shorter, as does life. At the end, no matter how much satisfaction a person has derived from his cigarette, his life, it is but a stubbed out cigarette butt, floating in the water of an ash tray, the flame of life, extinguished.

A pack of cigarettes contain twenty sticks, twenty chances of satisfaction. Life? There's only one shot, no matter how much satisfaction is gained. Make the most of it. How? That's a question for someone with clearer thinking than I have at the moment.

hello mr roboto.

Today is Tuesday. It is also just one of those days. One of those days when you open your eyes and think "Just let me sleep." It was for me anyway. Today I opened my eyes and thought "Just let me sleep." Unfortunately, the world isn't as simple as you and I would like it to be. Therefore, I woke up like on any other weekday. Just one of those days when you wake up and trudge through your daily activities. Some of those days you willingly wake up. Not today. Today, I did not want to wake up in the first place. Couldn't I have broken the routine? Could I change the world? Even if I could, I couldn't change the fact that today is one of those days, where the hours pass as monotonously as this blog entry.

stumble.

Today I stumbled on the steps at my house. I nearly fell down. As I regained my balance, I wondered what would have happened if I hadn't regained my balance. First of all, I probably would have fell down. I might have hit my head and died. It led me to think of a quote. It was the opening of Dean Koontz's "The Husband".

"A man begins dying at the moment of his birth. Most people live in denial of death's patient courtship until, late in life and deep in sickness, they become aware of him sitting bedside."

But in all honestly, I didn't really think of death when I stumbled. I just thought "WHOA."

booked.

Today I finally bought Catch-22, which I had been reading halfway, but had to return to the library. Probably going to have to start from the beginning again, instead of where I left off, partly because its better to refresh my memory on what's going on, but mostly because I have no idea where I left off anyway. It's about time to start reading again, seeing as my brain has been left on standby for quite some time. What better book to start my brain running then Catch-22, utterly insane and forcing my (quite) sane mind to work doubly hard just to understand what the hell's actually going on.

Speaking of hell, I had been set a challenge by Fuwei to read Dante's Inferno, which is a poetry spanning the 9 circles of hell. He swears he can't even get past the fifth circle, and he reads at a similar pace to me, so I guess the challenge is there. What is even more challenging is that I have no idea where to find the book. I went to Kino and Harris and didn't see it anywhere. I sure hope I don't have to go to the depths of Dante's Inferno just to read it.

Also, I have added(replaced one actually) 2 more books to my already extensive Dean Koontz collection. The one I have replaced is Odd Thomas, which is the first book to the Odd Thomas books, and the one which my kind sister decided to lend to her friend and never take it back. The other book is The Husband, which Aldric recommended about a year ago, but I never bought due to there not being discounts. Added on the A Spot of Bother by Mark Haddon, which I also haven't read(thoroughly. I skimmed through about 100 pages not knowing what I was reading), there are many books just waiting to be read, many worlds waiting to be explored(Actually most of it is just the normal world we are familiar with but the mental plane of the characters could be classified as the world which exists within them, like the world that exists in you and me).

Also, sometimes I get really curious why I use brackets. Since brackets are supposed to be like my thoughts and this is actually my blog, what's outside the brackets are also my thoughts. So what's in the brackets are like my thoughts on my own thoughts. Oh well.

lump.

On my leg. Injuries are like a weekly occurrence, the latest one sustained via a powerful swing of the leg onto my shin. Perhaps I need to take up activities with less risk of injury, such as reading, gardening, flower arrangement and the likes.

knee na beh!

Just yesterday, a drop-down commander seat from the BX command variant smashed my leg just above my knee, leaving a swelling roughly the size of an egg(but not so round. I meant it more like in diameter and such, in a 2d way). It was mostly my own fault, since I took out the catch without supporting the seat stem. But that was because the catch was so tight I could not remove it with just my right hand(which has a recently healed from fractured middle finger, which hasn't regained full mobility). Still, it was purely my own fault(As was with how I fractured my finger). Considering my proneness to injury, it's surprising how I'm still not (totally) handicapped today.
