Vast Reality

It is to the advantage of the faithful to destroy all that which evil, so that which is good may flourish.

We must find in ourselves the meaning of our existence if we are to believe that we are here for a purpose other than to breath, eat, sleep, and consume the resources of this planet. The irony here, of course, is that we humans could have a purpose which is defined by the search for the definition of the purpose itself. This sounds like an infinite loop - a dismal vortex of repeated, insane-thought-provoking patterns. The purpose of the author writing these words today is to explain that this is not the case. Life is an action, a verb if you will, rather than an object, or noun. We experience life rather than simply possess it. It is this experience - both the good and the bad - that creates in us a sense of purpose. When one fails, one must learn.When one succeeds, one must rejoice. In either case, we continue down the path of life searching for our purpose. The path may be curved, twisted with entanglements and blockades that hinder all but the most nimble of minds and bodies. This is the process. This is the way. The weakest and most insane man is the one who has been given all, yet has given nothing. The purpose for pain is so that you understand and appreciate joy. One may go so far as to define one’s success simply by compounding the number and severity of the failures they have overcome.

This is in response to Jerod’s tutorial post.  I wanted to give it a try.  I like how it turned out.  It’s definitely a beginner’s work, but I’m interested in comments.

So I have officially declared myself rusty in the Photoshop department.  It’s been a long time since I have done any type of signature and I must say… it definitely shows.  Below is my rendition of a tutorial that I followed on one of my friend’s graphic design forum.

This is the first writing i had ever done. I had an assignment for an english class to write a “poem” and decided to take it seriously. I was a freshman and young so the writing might be a little corny but im sure each of us has felt this at some point in their life and nothing is a joke if you appreciate the feelings of another person. Hope you like….

Her - 1999

When i first saw her it felt as if i were struck by lightening. From that point on i strived to become the person she wanted to be around. On days I’ve sen her talking to her friends and wished i were that person i seen her talk to. I seen her listen…. i seen her laugh.

She changed what i do, she changed what i say, she changed my life. For that I’ve seen what I’ve done with my life and laugh. She changed my life to what i wish it to be. She seems to be good to be true.

When she talks to me, even for a minute my whole days turns to be good. if only she knew who i am inside for that i know we would be friends for life. Isn’t that why we were put on this Earth? to love and be loved?

You could say it was a goal to have a person like her. I will keep trying and trying until my goal is reached in its best was possible. my love for her is like the endless stars in the sky.

The cursed land - part 2

its better to feel pain though rather than nothing at all
than be locked in an endless free-fall
I wish i could stay where it doesnt always hurt
and feel the love and brotherhood like at a Rockfest concert

But you dont always get what you want
when you think your weak your really commanding the front
Things are not always the way you think
when you believe your invisible heads turn to hear you speak
Different things make the sky blue
making small steps is better than not having a clue
to the ultimate goal, your dream, to come true
you have to fight, you HAVE to remember to do what you have to do
