Metaphors

Metaphor number 1:

Love is a grenade
The seconds are numbered away,
Until someone will pull the pin,
And scatter chaos into your world
Chaos, that will pierce your mind.

Love is a cool drink of water
It soothes the soul from the fires of life,
From the chaos that surround us.
Yet it makes pawns of us:
It makes us vulnerable to it's every move.

Life is an oak tree,
Every path in life
Will lead to a certain branch, a certain leaf
But to reach all of them throughout the course of life
Is something that can never be attained.

Life is a dream,
It can be beautiful;
It can seem surreal
But at the same time
It can turn into a nightmare.

Super Powers

Today, in Studies in Literature I had to come up with my own superhero. This made me think about what superpower I would like to have if I would get the ability to choose, and so far I've come up with a list of three superpowers that I cannot seem to choose from. Clairvoyance would be pretty cool. After all, who isn't curious about what will occur in the future? But at the same time, I also think that the ability to teleport one's self would also make a great superpower. And not only would it save time, but it would also save money. The last of my top three favorite super powers is the ability to fly. I know, it's a common one. But I bet there isn't one person in this world that hasn't wished at some point that they had the ability to fly. I mean, how cool would it be to be able to see the world from above and not need to use the crowded buses, or be struck in traffic every time that you'd need to travel? So what about everyone else? What superpower would you like to have?

Room: At Night Time & Day Time

At Night Time:

I feel like I am one with the darkness. Nothing around me is visible around me because I am surrounded by darkness, but I feel comfortable in the silence of the room after such a long and chaotic day. As the time passes my eyes are getting adjusted to the darkness.Now the outlines of some of the objects that are in my room are clearly visible; my desk, the chandelier, my cd player. They're all starting to be visible now. I could feel my breath slowing down as I'm starting to slowly settle down in bed and find a comfortable spot. My thoughts are slowly starting to drift away from the real to the surreal. All the thoughts that I've "collected" throughout the day are now starting to emerge. They're being modeled out in front of me as I'm slowly settling into the world of dreams...


During Day Time:

The Scenery from beyond the window seems pop out as I'm drawn to the window. It isn't much, but when I need time to think, I'm always drawn to this spot over and over again. Out the window I could see our lively back garden, as well as the other neighbors' back gardens. Then, while tilting my head to the left side the gigantic "Forester's" building emerges. It is like a creature that never rests, because its lights are constantly turned on. Speaking of saving energy, hehe, I guess they could care less. I decide to see if there is anything else that I could do here, but because of the simplicity of my bedroom I find nothing else that interests me, so I decide to go downstairs instead...

Foreign Bands

I was just wondering if anyone else listens to bands that are from somewhere else other than North America. They could be foreign bands that sing in English, or any other language. I'm just asking because I haven't come across many people that do. Most of the people that I've talked to about music seem to only listen to mainstream bands, the type that are constantly being played by MTV/Much music.

I remember when I was in Grade 9, and I was really into Industrial German Rock. My favorite band at that time was Rammstein. I also listened to Megaherz, Oomph! and other German bands. I still listen to them actually, just not as much as I used to. Anyways, one of the main questions that I was constantly asked by people once they found out that I listened to German music was: "Are you German?" I always found it amusing because they immediatly jumped to the conclusion that because I listened to German rock, I must be German. When the truth is that I simply like to expand my horizon when it comes to music. I never enjoy being limited to what this society gives me, because the greater majority of bands that they play on MTV/Much music are lacklustre.

I also enjoy listening to French rock from time to time. My favourite French rock band is Noir Désir. Other foreign bands that I listen to are Omul cu Sobolani (Romanian), Lacuna Coil (Italian), Moonspell (Portuguese) and several British Rock bands such as Muse and Placebo.

Halloween part 2

So in one of my earlier posts, I said that I would be going trick-or-treating for Halloween. Well, I changed my mind yesterday because when I went out all dressed up for Halloween with my boyfriend, we looked around and saw all that most of the trick-or-treaters seemed to be 4-10 years old. Which, of course made us feel odd since we were so much older than the rest of the kids.So instead we just walked around on Danforth wearing our masks.

The mask that I choose was the one which I posted about earlier, the plain white mask. I'll try and find a pick of it so I could post it here. But what it is basically, is one of those Venetian masks, minus the vivid colors that Venetian masks often have. The closest example that I could think of is the mask from "Vanilla Sky". Which I thought was an awesome film.

Anyways, here's a pic: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2347/2247443422_fbe3bfff25.jpg
It's a blurry pic, but you could kinda get the idea. Of course, on the actual mask the nose and the mouth are far more visible. And what I wore the mask with was very different from what the person in that picture is wearing it with. I wore it with my black winter coat, and I had my hair back and my hood on the whole time. Which I thought made me look like one of those odd cult members.
