My Obsession

Ah, I was supposed to make a blog on Societal Norms... My apologies, I simply thought this was more important.

Of course, my obsession has always been this anime/manga called "Death Note". Apparently they're making a movie which is planned for 2014. Since it is a big thing, I shall now list the possible cast, although I am sure I am asking for a bit too much.

L- Johnny Depp (simply because I cannot imagine any other actors playing L. Heck, I can't imagine Johnny Depp playing L. L is too unique.)

Light Yagami- Ask me later... For now I have this ridiculous hope that he'll be played by Reid from Criminal Minds.

Mello- I would say River Phoenix would have been oh-so-perfect for this role, however, he is dead. Therefore, I think Jamie Campbell Bower should play him. that would be spectacular.

Near- Oh, I don't know... Bu it must be someone who is not mainstream, besides, he should also have a slight British accent, because it'll sound more... Degrading to Mello.

Ryuk- He should be computerized. Obviously.

I'll add more when I think of it.

Forgive the obsession,

Time As A Self-Contradictory Idea

“We say we waste time, but that is impossible. We waste ourselves.” -Alice Bloch

     Time is a concept, as well as a measurement by which we calculate the sequence of events, the duration, and also the intervals between. Of course, as humans we experience time whether we want it or not, however, I do not think that as a society we pay too much thought on the actual concept of time; we simply point out the lack of it. 

As I was reading the Wikipedia page on time, I realized that there are different outlooks on it by various religions. 

     Judaeo-Christian beliefs on time are pretty simple. They believe that time is linear, hence it began with the birth of the Earth, or, as most religion would point out, the creation of the universe by God. Ideally, this concept is accepted by most people, whether they are religious or not, simply because it suits the societal construction of our minds, hence the universally known abbreviation- YOLO.  Of course, there are many other outlooks on time. For example, the Cambridge idealist J. M. E. McTaggart has written a philosophical essay called "The Unreality Of Time". He argues quite cleverly that time does not exist. He states that every event that occurs could at one time be future, at another time present and at third time be past (Read more at http://www.enotes.com/topic/The_Unreality_of_Time#The_A-series). 
     Consequently, his entire argument revolves around the contradictions of time, as well as its faults (which I prefer calling the "black holes"). This concept is hard to comprehend at first, however, if you really ponder about it, you will realize that this might be valid. Obviously, we- as humans- cannot deny the existence of time, since metaphorically we resemble an hourglass, waiting for the sand to finish its pouring- waiting for Gentleman Death. In the end, he states that all events have the properties of past, present, and future, all at the same time. And if that was so, could our aging really only depend on the biology and the structures of our bodies? And if so, is it possible to leap out of the "time wrap" and forever stay young?

Why has it been so long since I...

Greetings humans and possibly spirits that have not yet left this world!

It has been about four months since I've updated this blog. I am very well aware I should be updating this consistently, however, I seem to forget and... Hmm...? What was I talking about? Ah, yes. Ponies. Beautiful creatures, I must say.
I digress. 
I seem to find inspiration everywhere I go. It is quite odd, for I do not get inspired easily. You see, I've been inspired by so many things, I do not know what to write about first. Ah... How lovely. I've decided right this minute that I shall write a plan for the next few days as to what I will be talking about, thus preserving my thoughts in this black hole we call the almighty Internet.


Here goes...


1) Thoughts on Time (I am not trying to be punny here);
2) On Societal Norms, Barbies and Toy-trucks;


Aw, crud. I cannot think of any more suitable un-ridiculous topics on demand. I am trying to be productive here and accomplish something very useful that will benefit our almost-but-not-yet-wretched society.


3) Puns and Other Things Funny (good one, eh?);


Three down, two to go! I'll make the remaining two on the spot if I have to. I cannot think of any, therefore I shall quit using my brain as a uh... Source of ideas. For now. I just realized how ridiculously stupid that last sentence sounded.


Oh, the things I say on here.


With all due modesty,


A
