Inward We Exist, Outward We Live.

Close your eyes and lean back

Feel warm kisses glide up and down your neck

Shhh... 

Don’t worry, you’re safe in my arms

just you and I... nothing else matters

I tilt your chin up, and stare down into your eyes. A gentle gaze, your sweet almond eyes

"The mind is a gun" -Trevor from Grand theft auto V. Trevor is one of the most interesting characters in any form of entertainment media that I've come across. He should be, by nature unlikable. He is a psychopath, criminal and boorish in all respects, but his character is so well written that by the end of the story you're cheering for him--he is the perfect storm of character flaws and honestly that results in a prime example of an antihero.

Let Go 52409

Teardrops roll down my face; raindrops on a windshield in a heavy summer storm.

Puddles of my broken heart fill the ceases of my face. Pools of angst.The cold numb feeling has a grasp on my soul, I’m chilled to the core. My body trembles each time I hear those words… Echoing in my ears, like a bell that has tolled, so close it’s all I hear… Those painful words are trapped in my ears.

Disappointed

In me I'm trying to do things right Can't take the shame Eyes are open Mind is numb Just keep moving So hard not to look back Don't do it! March onward, 1 2 3 4 Over the hill there is the promise of sunshine

Forgive and forget?

My personal messages were read while I was asleep. I feel so violated and exposed. The trust that I once placed in you is no longer there. One of the most important cornerstone of a relationship is trust. Without it why should we stay together? I can forgive this transgression but I am afraid I'll never forget...

Super cool Chineasy character illustrations. 

I like them a lot, but am admittedly a bit torn on some of them as teaching tools. Although not all chinese characters are pictographs (symbols that are drawn to look like the things they represent), some are - as easily seen above with kou, the mouth, and ren, the person.

Nu, the woman, is also a pictograph - but it’s meant to represent the entire figure of a woman, head, limbs, and torso, not just the face. If you ignore the drawing around it and just focus on the character strokes, I think you can easily see her.

If characters already have pictographic roots, I don’t think it’s entirely necessary to create new ones. Particularly when other, more complex characters may later incorporate those same pictographic roots to make a new meaning - creating new ones could unnecessarily confuse a learner.

Want!

Kotobukiya’s Tali statue reminds us we still have a year to wait for the new Mass Effect

Kotobukiya makes some pretty nice statues and figures and I’d know – I’ve bought several of them including two of their DC Comics New 52 line. They’re not super expensive but feature quality that would make others think you paid far more than you actually did. 

Continuing their Mass Effect line-up is Tali which is set to release February of next year. Pre-orders will be opening soon. 

M 24 09 -Let go

Tears pour down my cheeks

like rain drops on a windshield

in the heavy storm of night

puddles of my broken heart fill the creases of my face

The cold numb feeling grasps my soul

my body trembles each time I hear

those words they echo in my ears, like a bell so close it’s all I hear

those powerful words traped in my ears

Cosmic Encounters: S.O.

We are but celestial objects soaring through the vacuum of space.

Life.

Two strangers in the vast darkness, randomly cross paths with one another.

Opportunity.

The forces of nature govern all, and pull these twilight travelers towards each other.

Attraction.

Occasionally,  when the gravitational bond is extremely strong, the orbital dance between the two wanderers will lasting eons.

Happiness.

If there is not enough attraction to secure an orbit, the dance will cease and the two will part ways, to once again, roam the darkness in search of companionship.

Sorrow.

By chance, one of these cosmic loners cross paths with an equal.

Hope.

If these two are lucky enough,they will be locked in the orbital dance, hand in hand while they journey across the heavens--side by side.

Relationship.

Behold, Terra and Luna. They depend on each other.  Luna blocks Terra from the hazards of meteors by shielding her love, with her own milky face.

Sacrifice.

Terra, strongly holds Luna close to her breast, keeping her smaller mate locked in orbit, preventing Luna from slipping away into the darkness of space all by herself.

Commitment.

From time to time the two will link up perfectly with the sun, and become one. The Sun's rays will bathe their elliptical bodies in a golden embrace of warmth. They will eclipse.

Coitus.

No other planets will notice this beautiful ritual, and it does not matter, for all that is, and will ever be, is between the two dancers, forever engaged.

Intimacy. 

Terra and Luna will take turns bathing each other in the suns warmth. Solar and Lunar eclipse.

Respect.

This symbiotic relationship between these two cosmic nomads is not unusual in the universe, nevertheless it is extraordinary for two to balance so perfectly, and is something to be cherished.

Love.
