The Last Tree House

Seriously. Once upon a time, there lived a lad who was blissfully ignorant of the world 'round him. He never had to bother with the big things that adults fussed about. Not once did he even have to think about what he was going to wear for the next day - for it was all chosen and done for him before he had to care about it. The boy grew up in this manner until he hit the stage of life where everyone is neither adult nor child. The boy got awfully troubled in this period - for he was neither prepared for it, nor did he have anyone to help him out. But that was where he was wrong!  For he had all the companions in the world.. or did he? His family still pampered him  doing odd jobs that should've been his and never once did he think  "Maybe I should help them out?" Soon though, it got too late to fix what was  for when the time came when the job had to be done, the trigger to be pulled - he was the one behind the hammer. ...

As far as I've known, books are my foremost and closest friends. They taught me the languages of the world, kept me company when others decided to ignore me because I was too "weird" back then, and they taught me about life. Books taught me what it is to feel happiness, joy and about using my imagination to think beyond the small box that we humans define as "reality". Books also taught me what it means to be sad, to have lost a loved one. But more than anything, they taught me that no matter what happens, if you believe in yourself, it doesn't matter who the hell stands up to you.. You are you. No one else. And as special as one could be. And I thank you for nurturing me, my friends. :') Happy Reading Week! D. (If you haven't notice, I try very hard to make sure the songs that I post as treats are connected to the post. But this time, you ought just go read a book.)

"    Here I stand a lone flower surrounded by death and  destruction. A single sign of life in this valley of pain and sorrow, I stand as a beacon to those lost in the remains of the world. My time is short but my light shall not be extinguished w ithout ensuring there will be a new light to take my place. A new light to shine through the darkness I was unable to clear away. For a world without light is no world at all, For what is darkness without light. And to ensure that the world will continue on I stand, Here I stand the last source of sunlight in the world, The last wall flower in this world. I must continue to live, So that I can create a new world from this single flower. A world that ended, and was reborn with a single wall flower." This work is not mine, although I wish it was. I merely wish to share it upon those who can understand the beauty of the lines, and the meaning beneath. I'm no fan of plagiarism, but I guess I could make an exception or two ...

In most rehab facilities, there's this exercise where you have to blindly fall back into the hands of your fellow rehab mates (Rehabees?), and this is supposed to create a strong bond between them...make them trust each other a little bit more. That might work in an exercise being supervised by an instructor, but how much would you actually trust someone? Trusting someone is no easy choice. I want you to imagine two people in your life - the one you love and would give an arm for, and then the one you fear/hate the most. Now,if you were placed in a boat with them in two different situations, in a lonely and vast sea, which one would actually show their true colors - the friend, or the enemy? Chances are that the outcomes aren't as predictable as you thought they were. If there's someone you can absolutely trust in this life on Earth, it sure ain't the president of your country. Not your best-est friends, and certainly not that guy across the store. Want me t...

Imagine a huge,bustling crowd. Now think of yourself as a harried,busy office worker with a hectic schedule,moving towards office with no time to waste,moving with a quick pace through the crowd. You're carrying files of papers essential for today's presentation and whatnot. Suddenly,a guy bumps into you. You drop the files and the papers start flying kind of like a dog being unleashed and let out . You're frustrated,even grumbling under your breath at that guy,who didn't even turn to look back at the mess he just made. So there you are,grabbing all those papers and stuffing them back into the files when You get help from another person. At that moment,you'd almost believe that the person was God-sent,wouldn't you? You're thankful for the help,from the bottom of your heart,and blesses the angel. Now,what I'm coming around to is that helping people out when they really need help is something that we need to have built into our minds.You might never know ...

"And so the boy, given up for dead.. ... returns to his people,to sacred Sparta, a king!"                   Interesting enough,you might find posters such as these 'round town,indicating my return. Unfortunately for y'all,the boy mentioned in the lines is me. Yes. I'm back. Take a moment to let that sink in. Pray to your gods. Pray that my posts will a be quick death for you. For I shall show no mercy. On a side,cheery note,I'm actually back.I've been brainstorming for the past week, and got a couple of things regarding the other side of me  (the one who lives in the parallel dimension called "reality") worked out, and it's all good. So expect the usual shower of the usual quirky,downright weird  and quixotic (There comes a time when people learn new words  and they brag about it.This is one such case)  posts so forth. The warning has been given.Their fate is now their own. D. (If you checked out t...

Due a slight change in my hectic schedule, I'll be taking a little break from the blogosphere for about a week or two. I've been blogging for nearly 2 months,and to my surprise,there's been quite a few ardent followers,and I thank you for the support! :) But really,I need to recharge my mind (and my Awesomeness.) for a while,hence the break. Do not fear,for I shall return.(I'll still be moderating the blog.) Now run along and make yourselves busy. D. (As it's the season finale,I'll include a few extra videos as a treat! Firstly,it's the Oscar-winning short film - Paperman  [Note that the link is a facebook page,since I couldn't find any complete version of it anywhere except on my computer.] Second, the Symphony of Sciene - The Quantum World!  [Honestly,I liked it only because Morgan Freeman was in it.] And last,but not least,a   Slow Loris ! You'll understand why I linked it once you watch it.) That's all I got for the post. Now behave...
