                <description><![CDATA[ As of late my literary efforts can be equated to a hand-held pick axe, breaking crumbs off the infinitely large block in the back of my head. I've figured it's time, to forgo the hand-helds, and get behind the wheels of a honest to goodness steam shovel.<br /><br />Big things will come soon,<br />Regardless of how good or bad they may be,<br />Big things are coming. <br /><br />Take care.<br />-Daniel.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello to you all, sorry it's been almost a month since the last journal. I've recently went back to high-school (rejoice!), and it's been a nightmare from the get go. I have no classes with my special someone, nothing to keep me going throughout the day, and on top of THAT, all the teachers I got are BITCHES! Couple that with panic attacks and the fact that I had to go home sick halfway through the second day, and you start to get a window into my week so far. ;w;<br /><br />I bought a 3 month subscription, so expect a lot of useless stuff as I start to meddle in the dark art known better as "Premium Membership".<br /><br />Hope you're all doing good.<br />-Seppo<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ There hasn't been that much going on lately. Life is going along at the usual pace a summer's life can go. The weather is hot and intolerable, but sadly unchanging. My cohorts and I are attempting to form a musical band, which involves a vocalist, a guitarist, and two bassists; and no drummer. (sans percussion). If we ever record anything I'll post it here.~<br /><br />Writing has become like therapy to me. The notepad that stares blankly, asking "how do you feel today?" keeps me sane when I need it to, and I always walk away feeling accomplished, even if I just mash keys and type dirty words for twenty or so minutes. Perhaps, if there is demand; I'll post the logs sometime so anyone who checks my little corner in the sea of fodder that is the world wide web can read it. <br /><br />Love is still in the air for me. And the scent is growing larger by the day. She continues to amaze me, by doing nothing more than caring about me. Miracles may not occur around the world every day, prayers are not always answered. But every time I hear the words, every time I get my daily three-syllables;<br /><br />I feel like God is in the room.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello to anyone who still looks at this rotting shipwreck I call a DA. Sorry for the lack of update, but I can honestly say a lot has happened. (too bad none of it is interesting...well most anyways.) At any rate; I'm dabbling into the Three-Dimensional art-area these days a bit more. Anyone who wants to try their hand at such; PM me, and I'll er...."procure" the software you might need :3<br /><br />I'm writing again, though at a much more reduced pace. <br />Most of the time I have is with either mein female', or mein friends. <br /><br />Also; on a side note.<br />Everyone check out Amorphis: Skyforger.<br />It's damn good music; and it also tells the story of a Character in the Kalevala called Seppo Ilmarien. (sound a bit familiar?)<br /><br />Take care people.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Now now....I know this is far beyond overdue, and I apologize for the lateness of my entry. (HALF EXPECTING: To be hit with paper balls and one solitary old boot...) <br /><br />Anyways!<br /><br />My life has changed a good deal in the three or four days (a bad pun, savvy?) it's been since I last updated this thing, and I don't really know where to begin. <br /><br />I don't live with my parent's anymore. They moved to a quaint little town about an hour away from me, and I'm staying with the closest friend I have (Outside of Gabby and Seth) in the town they have so recently moved from. However; due to complications with my sister; they are soon moving back to said town, and much MUCH closer to my love's home than before. (Perhaps god does exist?)<br /><br />The bond I share with my significant other is progressively growing stronger with each passing day. We're engaged now, to all those who care...If I haven't mentioned it already that is >>;<br /><br />Oh! I got suspended for three days. Some guy kept pointing a laser at us at lunch, and when we asked him to stop, said something unsavory about my love. <br />So I chucked a bottle of Nos Energy Drink his way, he stands up, and comes over. Headbutts me repeatedly and ends up hurting himself. Oh, and Gabby hurt her hand punching him in the side of the head D;<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ During the course of oneÂs life, the need to display a convincing act of depravity or lunacy could arise at any moment. Whether youÂre assuming the role of the mad scientist in a Halloween play, interfering with television news crews, or walking in on a cheating spouse, that moment is coming and youÂve got to be ready for it.<br /><br />LetÂs say you are the principal at a medium-sized high school in a medium-sized town. Your school has a pretty good rating, your studentsÂ test scores are high, and you feel accomplished. Your daughter, letÂs call her Debbie, goes to the very same school. Debbie is fairly popular, fairly attractive, liked by all, you know the type. SheÂs got her friends, youÂve got your big desk, and everyone is happy.<br /><br />Well, one day Debbie comes into your office crying about how some boy named Ted, or Todd, or something knocked her up and now he wonÂt foot half the bill for the abortion. Naturally, your blood boils. You start thinking violent thoughts. You begin to want to act irrationally. This is the moment you should use to quickly seize your emotions and use them to mentally draft your agenda. Let us step back for a moment to discuss some of your preliminary options.<br /><br />You have to begin already knowing what kind of lunatic you want to be. This is a personal choice that should be determined well before the decision to go mad is made. There are several types of madmen. They range from reclusive, murder-you-in-the-dark types, to brazen, machine-gun-you-in-the-mall types. Yours should fit your personality. DonÂt try to operate outside your mental means or your physical abilities. If youÂre not a super-genius, youÂre not, and it goes the same if youÂre not a brutish, strangle-happy oaf. No matter what type you choose, your actions must be quick, and it is imperative that you find your perfect niche so you can execute your plan as ruthlessly as possible.<br /><br />Now, consider your daughter. Debbie may be your own flesh and blood, but sheÂs on the verge of dishonoring you and ending your career. YouÂve got to make a decision; kill her or kill yourself. Since a true madman is prohibited from self-elimination, the correct choice should be obvious. Pick your method and strike with confidence. Be sure to hide the body away in a place that only you can access. You will need it later. The basement in your own house will do. Now that your hands are dirty, thereÂs no going back. You must see your plot to the end at all costs. Do not falter from the path to your real goal: revenge against the one that did this to you and Debbie.<br /><br />YouÂll need to eliminate any people who Debbie may have told. Start at the center of her circle of friends and work your way out. Take them out alone, one by one. Never confront them in groups. Take great care in transporting and hiding their bodies with DebbieÂs so you donÂt alert the others to what is going on. After youÂve finished with DebbieÂs friends, youÂll need to collect any adults she may have confided in. Counselors, ministers, doctors, nurses, and other teachers are all potential candidates. Use caution in selecting them. Accuracy should be your greatest concern. You donÂt want to off the wrong person and furthermore, you donÂt want to let any guilty parties escape. These are circumstances that can get you caught before youÂre ready.<br /><br />After you have completed the first half of your plan, you should have a nice collection of bodies stashed in some secret location only known to you. It is now time to plan the revenge portion of your plot. YouÂll need to do something convincingly demented. Here is where your skills as an artist will be tested.<br /><br />Acquire some old church pews or park benches. Set them up in a row in the room where you hide your bodies. Arrange the decomposing corpses on the benches, sitting and facing the same direction. Put Debbie at the front of the room clothed in a bridal dress and veil. Place an empty chair next to her. Dress the other ÂguestsÂ in nice clothes if you have them available. Set up the rest of the room to look like a church, complete with alter and dÃ©cor. DonÂt spend a lot of money. A few candles and white cloths placed about will do the trick. Remember, the real centerpiece is the group of rotten mummies staring blankly forward, well, and Debbie. It is her big day after all.<br /><br />The next step is getting Ted, Todd, whatever his name is, to your secret lair. Send out an invitation. You may need to entice him somehow. You may need to trick him. Find out what his vices and weaknesses are and use them to your advantage. Your method is unimportant, just get him there.<br /><br />Once he is inside your house, you must somehow overpower Ted and drag him downstairs. Knock him unconscious if you have to. Tie him to the empty chair beside Debbie but face him toward the wall. After he wakes up, you can explain your diabolical plot to him. It will help to br... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I got to thinking this morning. It's been far too long since I had a serious journal entry;<br />---<br /><br />It's been alot harder to write DA-worthy pieces here lately. I find it more and more difficult to put words to paper (or a blank text document for that matter), and when I do, they usually end up in the trash heap. <br /><br />It's not as though I have a reason to be like this either. Nothing is really out of place, or out of order. My life has actually been more than fair lately. My parents aren't being as hard on me lately; and school is near it's end. (not to mention I've missed 4 days of school straight) Maybe it's because I come from a very superstitious family. I think I'm worried that, in light of things going so well right now, something major is about to occur to counteract them. <br /><br />I may not know a whole lot about the way the world works, but there is one thing I do know:<br />             My luck doesn't last very long. <br /><br />But aside from this completely baseless anxiety, and being a bit distanced from a certain someone, I suppose I'm doing ok. I've been sick for 6 days now, and I'm sure my schoolwork is piled all the way up to Bum-fuck, Egypt. I don't care though; I'm bound for summer-school already :'D<br /><br />Thanks to everyone who has kept reading what I throw on here, and thanks for the kind words. You may not realize it, but you guys keep me going. I truly appreciate it. <br /><br />- Olin<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This is my first "normal" journal in quite some time.<br />Well; as normal as my "normal" gets anways.<br /><br />---<br /><br />My life's been up and down here lately. I've had days where I couldn't wait to get going, and days where I almost wanted to die. Alot has happened in the week since I last posted in this journal. I've done alot of growing as a person, and discovered alot about myself and my significant other. (whom without, I would've broken down a few times in the past seven days.)<br /><br />I've never been much for religion; but I do believe in the concept of ebb and flow. For every good, there is an equal and opposite bad. I've hit a stretch of bad here lately, and I'm stuck wondering where the good is going to come back into play. Bad for both me, and for those I care about. <br /><br />I'll remain optimistic.<br />And hope that my turn of luck runs just above the bend in my horizon. <br /><br />Take care<br />~Olin<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Dedicated to the only person I've ever truly hated.<br />And to The Child Of The Rose; for carrying on inspite of said person. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />Enjoy~<br />---<br />Your obituary and all of the sad refrains will be rife with terrible clichÃ©s (the final curtain call, the silver screen up in the sky) and tired, regurgitated lines from your long and illustrious career.<br /><br />You will, no doubt, receive a very long and musically-challenged farewell at some fully tuxedoed and designer-laden affair where actors and actresses, alike, can practice their pained expressions and share wistful stories about how close they were to sucking your old and shriveled tits*. Because you were... old and shriveled, well past your prime. Bent over and hobbling. All of those years of over-acting can take their toll, even on a demi-god such as yourself.<br /><br />*This is, of course, after they have presented themselves, in all of their finery, for the rest of the world to ogle<br /><br />So, Hellspawn, the day has come. The curtain has closed and you will be sunk into the earth to begin your final career. A career of decomposition; of the slow and tedious breakdown of your flesh and tendons, hair and teeth, bones and fingernails. The last thing to go is the memory of you. It may last hundreds, thousands of years even, but it will eventually be food for the worms.<br /><br />It is time, old gal, to pry that false smile, and all the facade of caring from your cold dead form.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Another entry. <br />Though slightly longer, and alot more rambleous. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />I've come to realise I never loved the one I just recently gave up pursuing. She was merely a distraction, a way to cope with the loss of who I was with before. I have realised this too late, and wasn't able to stop myself from telling said gal how I "felt" about her.<br /><br />I don't ever believe we fully let go of our first love. Nor do I believe anyone ever gets closer to us, than said first love. Once one has loved and lost, one is hesitant to give oneself fully to another. This is due to the fear of losing. We become afraid of losing what we love. Some never truly love again after losing their first. Some never experience the first.<br /><br />Why is it that moments that define who we are as a person are one's steeped in sorrow and misery? Is it because we become our most irrational when pain is inflicted upon our fragile selves? Why can't moments of contentness and peace be our definition?<br /><br />And further more:<br />Why do I continue to love what I can't have?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ These past few months, I have been adrift in a sea of two (clashing) emotions. Overwhelming joy (in the former part of this time period.) and anxiety (in the present part.). The former period is easily enough understood, and it's even easier to understand how it ended. I won't be dwelling on this. <br /><br />What I choose to focus on however is the later emotion. Why is it anxiety I feel? It's as though I'm waiting for something to arrive, and it's unseasonably late. What exactly am I waiting for? Do I know of what's to come on some suconcious level? Will I ever know what I know, but don't know? <br /><br />As most people do, I have someone to pine away after. I have something to pursue I guess. I've always had the notion that if one isn't pursuing another person, one isn't doing all that one is supposed to. I've always seen loving someone (and attempting to get them to do the same) as one of life's nessecsities. Why? I don't know.<br /><br />Perhaps it stems from my own relationship with my parents. Which is shall we say, artificial? I don't feel it the right word, but it's as close as I'll come.  Love was never a big part of my home life. Perhaps it is this, that causes me to reach out to all those around me the way I do. <br /><br />An even greater question than those above:<br />If I value love so much, why am I afraid to pursue it? Is it fear of rejection? No value or self-worth? I think not. I think I may be afraid that if the one I love says no, that I will have failed at one of life's greatest purposes. That if she turns me away, I will have no one to pursue. <br /><br />Do I wish she would say yes, agree to be with me? <br />Yes.<br /><br />Will I work up the courage to risk all, throw caution, and what is basicaly my reason for existance at this point out the window, on the off chance that she might say yes to a question such as this, to a person such as me?<br /><br />Maybe.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The week has begun anew.<br /><br />I've begun having deja vu alot more often. It used to pop up occasionally, now it's happening (*does math*) 6 times a day on average. I've begun having extremely vivid nightmares. And when I awake, I'm usually in a deep state of sleep paralysis. (I say usually, because one time last week, I was able to move my hands right off.)<br /><br />So to counter-act both the deja vu, (which is starting to give me migranes when it occurs.) and the nightmares/sleep paralysis, I've stopped sleeping. Not all together; that's impossible. I've decided to sleep in short bursts. 30 minutes at most. Then I wake up for two minutes, and go back. This takes care of the nightmares and sleep paralysis, and keeps me tired enough to ward off the deja vu.<br /><br />Once I get something off my chest to someone, I have no doubt I'll be fine. But right now, I'm far from it.<br /><br />-Olin<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The more bad things I do the more I believe in Hell and the more bad things happen to me the less I believe in Heaven. But that's me there's so many different possibilities of how situations interact with someone's believes and fears. But what does that mean? What does it mean to me? I ponder on the different possibilities thinking about an answer of which I do not know the question. I've once been told that having high intelligence can fuck a person up. The argument was that life becomes dull everything becomes predictable and happiness is far away because of this. This is of course not true. Well at least not if the person in question truly is enlightened because if this person was so smart he or she would know how to reach happiness, enlightenment and become a master of their fate. <br /> <br /> <br />But what about the ones that have come to find acceptance, relief, happiness and contentment etcetera? How I experience my life is that my state of mind seems very much out of reach or control to me. Maybe it isn't that simple maybe my life, my body and my mind is't to be manipulated under purely my will and intentions. Buddhists say that enlightenment comes through suffering. I know for a fact that there is a core of truth in this statement. But to change this into a whole belief system based on suffering seems exaggerated to me but this is beside the point. If I had the choice to suffer or not to suffer my intuition would tell me to choose for the most pleasant. Possibilities and how the individual chooses them or gets lead by them. <br /> <br /> <br />I believe I am a person that isn't lead as much by emotions as others are. The reason I believe this is because of the communication and Human other interactions I see on a day to day basis. I believe I can distance myself more than others on the topics of conversations because I'm usually prepared to finish the interaction of thoughts about a certain topic. I see a lot of withdrawal from conversation and experience it during some conversations. <br /> <br />I believe I suffer less from, which I see as a flaw, the overcoming of the abstract theory of a topic onto the individual. <br />I know I'm still young and maybe when I'm older I will act more in the ways of which I'm trying to describe but on the other hand I see these &#039<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" />henomena' occur among my younger peers. <br />Where's the point? Why do I feel forced to make a point so quickly. I'm writing this and still haven't finished a page but feel obliged to have something to offer. <br /> <br />This is probably one of the reasons I talk so fast in day to day life I'm not comfortable with an audience that's quietly listening with no way for me to measure of if they are interested or entertained. Maybe it's because of the short attention span that people have now a days. Maybe it's due to the fact that people like to read between lines and over interpret. I guarantee you that If you give these writings to all the people you know and make them believe you wrote it at least one person will think that you are writing about hidden grudges towards them or an issue you are dealing with. <br /> <br />So I'll tell you this. This is directed to no one I know. Or it is directed to my subconscious. Or it is due to that hunger of writing down what is in my mind. An urge. An itch. Whatever.<br />The story has not begun and it will be filled with possibilities for the readers to find. But no matter what can be said this is personal. This is written be me and read by you. Books sometimes have open endings but this as a whole is open. For there is no hero or bad guy in this. There is no murder to be solved. No belief to be propagated. These words are the words I have written down, no more no less. The reasons may be known to me or may not be. But they will never truly be known by the reader. These words are like the life of another person which is in a way the same as a book with an open ending. Only the main character has enough information on how it felt and the thoughts that were internally processed. <br /> <br />The external factors although maybe more significant but from a human perspective less important. Or better said from my perspective, and I would feel flattered that from the 6 billion people who live now who are offspring of the 10,000 humans that survived the bottle neck I would be the only one to see it this way. This perspective is more in connection with the mixture of conscious and sub conscious reality that is the life of a sentient being. The constant death of who we where onto the person we are now. The life we lead now with debts to the person we were yesterday.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ In the past few months, I've grown to understand love better than I ever imagined I could. I know now what it truly means to love someone. The feeling is one that I'll never forget. I also know how it feels to lose what you love. To have it taken away. Again, it's something I'll never forget.<br /><br />I've come to think of love as a card game. (explanation to follow)<br /><br />We're at the "table". (the table being the game of life)<br />You can chose to play your hand alone. Or you can chose partner up, and combine your cards together. The cards inter-mingle, getting mixed, shuffle, unorganized. You can get alot further ahead, working and playing with eachothers hands. (the life you are given).<br /><br />Then there comes a crossroads. Where you have to decide wether or not you want to work with the other person in an attempt to get ahead. Should you chose to part, and take your hand away, the results vary greatly.<br /><br />Poor communication and bad teamwork, will leave the cards scattered. You'll likely lose quite a few of your cards (feelings, thoughts, etc) in the process. As well the other person.<br /><br />Should you chose to stay together, the game will only become easier. Your cards will become one hand,instead of two seperate stacks put together. Eventualy you will think and act as one. And nobody will be able to stand in your way.<br /><br />I'm searching for my partner. I may have found her;<br />Only time will tell.<br /><br />-Olin<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ A gold star to the first person who finds out what this is from.<br />-----<br />It was daylight when you woke up in your ditch. <br />You looked up at your sky then. <br />That made blue be your color. <br />You had your knife there with you too. <br />When you stood up there was goo all over your clothes. <br />Your hands were sticky. <br />You wiped them on your grass, so now your color was green. <br />Oh Lord, why did everything always have to keep changing like this.<br />You were already getting nervous again. <br />Your head hurt and it rang when you stood up. <br />Your head was almost empty. <br />It always hurt you when you woke up like this. <br />You crawled up out of your ditch onto your gravel road and began to walk, <br />waiting for the rest of your mind to come back to you. <br />You can see the car parked far down the road and you walked toward it. <br />"If God is our Father," you thought, "then Satan must be our cousin.<br />" Why didn't anyone else understand these important things? <br />You got to your car and tried all the doors. <br />They were locked. <br />It was a red car and it was new. <br />There was an expensive leather camera case laying on the seat. <br />Out across your field, you could see two tiny people walking by your woods. <br />You began to walk towards them. <br />Now red was your color and, of course, those little people out there were yours too<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Just a brief update, as I'm currently passing time until I can go to sleep.<br /><br />I'm in an odd musical mood. All I want to listen to is old metal (Iron Maiden and the like) or classic (Guns N' Roses, Led Zeppelin, etc). I've been in an overly happy mood here latelyd I have no dammed clue why. <br /><br />I've just found it hard to be pissed off for any length of time. Perhaps that stems from the fact that I've also been sleeping less and less. (Out of choice, no insomnia this time.) I decided against over-sleeping due to the fact that I find it harder to get up in the morning iI go to sleep before 12 or 1 AM.<br /><br />No matter what the cause, I'm in a good mood. (hell, a GREAT mood.)<br />And despite the churning in my stomach (nervousness is a bitch, ya know?) I've never been happier. <br /><br />On a side note: (Mr. Sharpton, may want to look away if you're reading this entry.)<br /><br />--------------<br /><br />I hope those of you who are fortunate enough to have found someone to be with on valentines day have a wonderful time. Love is a rarity in this world, it's something to be treasured. If you've found someone who makes you happy, take extra care to make those people happy tommorow. Not just you're boy/girl-friend, but all those that make your day better. Spread the love, and drive back the hate.<br /><br />-------------<br /><br />Tommorow will be good, no matter what the outcome.<br />For me, and for all of you.<br /><br />Take Care <br />-Olin<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ From the pool of life comes all things. Every particle is different yet united in essence. For every particle has its genesis from the same pool. This pool has qualities and quantities that stretch beyond the limits of the universe. <br /><br />How many universes have there been? How many more are to come? God is all and in every particle because God is the pool of life. Baptize yourself in the water of God and feel your soul submerged in empathy. <br /><br />That is the gain of faith guided by truth guided by unity. Of linking yourself to that ever infinite and expanding poolÂthe mind can know no equal joy, meaning or place. We are either to swim in GodÂs love or drown in our own misguided and self-centric sorrows. <br /><br />Even in death we decompose in to essence and feed life eternal. Could there be a greater gift?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Most of my weekend was spent with a friend, playing le' bass. My fingers have suffered as a result (my ring finger has atleast three layers of skin gone. -.- ). It hurts to type. D:<br /><br />On another note, spring is on the way soon. Hopefuly the new season will have more to offer than warmer weather. Spring is the precursor to summer. In that when the spring is prosperous, the summer usually follows in suit.<br /><br />It is my fondest wish that all of you have a spectacular spring, and summer. Make time for those close to you, and make time for those you wish you were closer to. (Spring is the season where love is most happily bred after all). <br /><br />I leave you all with words that, when first read, had no meaning at all. In the past few days, this incospicuous line of speech has given me comfort, and the will to move foward. Hopefully it helps someone out there as it has me.<br /><br />'Things are meant to change."<br /><br />I love you all.<br />-Olin<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ May I first say that I am sick as hell. I'd be throwing up right now if I had eaten anything, and even still: I have the dry heaves again. (Ah the joys of a body easily subdued by bacterial microbes...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blankstare.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":|" title=":| (Blank Stare)" />)<br /><br />Sick as I am, I've had time to sleep, to sleep deep. I've been having a recurring dream for the longest time. I think it mirrors my situation the real world quite well. It's recurred enough that I was able to write the passage below, in a Nyquil/Tylenol/Alka-Selter stupor.<br /><br />Quite a few of you have someone you care deeply for. Someone with whom you can sit idle, and still be fully engaged with. Someone you love.<br /><br />I can say the same, though my situation is a little different. I only have a few places, where I can openly show affection for my love, without threat to well-being. (I could be well...shot). And even then I find it difficult to reveal my true self infront of others; aside from the obvious person to whom the passage below is directed.<br /><br />What does it mean to truly "open up" anyway? What defines a relationship as open? And even better to ask, why is an open relationship something so many desire, yet so few ever really obtain?<br />I think the answer lies in that humans are constantly masking themselves, and contorting their own views to make themselves blend in with society alot easier. This becomes tiresome, and we begin looking for someone with whom we can reveal, and <i>be</i> our true selves. And what do we expect to get when we've revealed our true nature to someone? What is the result for "takingthe mask off"? More often then not, the person we reveal ourselves to becomes afraid of what we really are. Or they haven't come to terms with who <i>they</i> are, and lash out at you thusly. Opening oneself to someone one loves is an almost impossible feat. Because to truly open up is to share one's inner-most feelings, one's true self. For those who brave the path and find salvation on the other end, it's a infinte reward in and of itself. <br /><br />I have found that person. I have found someone who has helped me accept who I am as a person. Someone who has gotten me over my own self-inflicted inferiority psychosis. And for that, I am forever in her debt. Without her to greet me each day, I wouldv'e lost the motivation to get out of bed in the morning. I wouldn't be here right now, writing this entry, if my saviour had not arrived. Someone to be the shining guide (the divine white light of home) and drive back the black that covers my soul.<br /><br />I'm going back to bed now, I would like to say thank you to those who've taken the time to read my journals and entries here on DA, and not attempted to kill me thus far for uploading such abominations upon the unsusspecting inter-public.<br /><br />Wash your hands, the sickness is spreading<br />-Olin.<br /><br />***<br />That night, from the back door, escaping all trust<br />In tune with the fables your father pleads.<br />The chain-length fence I climbed chalked my hands in rust<br />Collapsed within where all my senses feed.<br />I could have sworn you would have seen me first<br />The freshly mown grass, soaked by the rain<br />Yearning a smile that could capsize or burst<br />Expectations you've had will soon seem plain.<br />The balance of Libra and stinger of Scorpio<br />Sleep on my arm as stars fly across<br />I stroke your hair while crickets sing the chorus:<br />"Can't learn to throw not knowing how to toss"<br />Soon I will leave you until another day<br />Through the back door, escape the exact way.<br />***<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I realized over these years, I've been doing something wrong. I've been trying to prove a point to this incomprehensible world of absurdity. I've been trying to prove that I'm capable of doing something well. I've been trying to prove that I can do a descent job in school; that I have friends; that I am successful; that I am satisfied with my life. And now I am tired and weary.<br /><br />What motivates me, or you? Chatting with the cute girl you just met in school? Your job? Guitar? Your girlfriend? College? (fluffy cabbits named Fuku?)<br /><br />And why do I judge others, and why you do? Whether on an online forum like DA, or in real life, in school, at work, wherever. I realized that I am and perhaps that you are, insecure with this society we're living in. We judge others, so that they will start to examine their own flaws, and thus it would keep them from judging us. Well, just for a little while. <br /><br />So why do we live? Reproduction, sex, money, power, food? Well I think it's bogus. I know some people live just to ^$#@, or they work just for another pair of jewelry. So why is that?<br /><br />I've known that I am living in a world that hates intelligence. Where people who can read a book, write a paragraph, write a poem, solve a rubik's cube, are hated. In a world of hatred, people either turn the intellectuals to dumbasses. who are interested in celebrity gossips, who are interested in what Britney Spear's doing; or they just simple get rid of you from the society. Just to make themselves look good. <br /><br />So why do you live? If you laugh at me, mock me, or if you can't even finish reading this entry, well, I really don't give a damn.<br /><br />People Who've Responded To This Entry<br />-----------------------------------------------------------------------<br />System-Transit | Jolly Fat Falsity | WaffeWrath<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ YES!<br /><br />After a almost sleepless (and...foodless Oo) week; I finaly slept (and ate) <br />I feel soooooo much better. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />This was a long, hellish week. Friends going away...coming back...*shudder*<br />It's all over now though. (hopefuly)<br /><br />On another note; I discovered a new band; Ayreon.<br />They do story albums. Which are (lengthy) releases where the tracks all follow a specific order, and create a story (duh...).<br /><br />I'm listening to 01011001 (story follows)<br /><br />On Planet Y, the seafaring 'Forever' have long ago forgone their emotions as well as becoming dependent on machines, in order to become immortal. Longing to rediscover emotions, Forever sends their DNA to planet Earth using a comet as vessel. The vessel reaches earth seeding humanity, but not before causing the extinction of the dinosaurs. Human rise and through them, Forever is able to relive lost emotions. However, Forever's continued meddling with humanity in order to make them evolve faster have disastrous consequence when their physical and mental evolution goes faster than their moral development : humanity starts becoming dependent on machines, they start slowly losing their emotions and worst of all heads toward the path to their own extinction. Forever must then orchestrate a way to help humanity save themselves, or should they even bother...is the experiment over?[2]<br /><br />Forever chooses to try to help by altering the time streams to giving humanity the technology to perform the Time Telepathy Experiment (as explained in Ayreon's debut album, The Final Experiment), which would broadcast their inevitable doom to those before them in attempt to save themselves. However, the Experiment is a failure and humanity's self-destruction occurs despite Forever's desperate attempts. Forever leaves Earth, crushed by their failures, but the Migrator (from The Universal Migrator), the last man alive, leaves with them<br />---<br /><br />It's like a sci-fi epic, without the pictures. 'Tis good stuff indeed <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />I love you all <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />-olin<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My first actual entry in a long time...and I've no clue what to say.<br /><br />I seem to have hit a dry spell in my writing. I find it hard to put pen to paper, and compose anything coherent. Perhaps The well has been used up, the soil drained of it's nutrients, <insert over-used metaphor here>. <br /><br />Or it could be my recent insomnia fit...which is still active. -.-<br /><br />I got a 30gb Zune (it's black! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />) which is good, since I haven't had one in ages. ^^<br /><br />Hope you guys who look at my page are doing ok.

                <description><![CDATA[ Invent this:<br /><br />1) a simple machine<br />to collect life's perspectives<br />into a symmetrical<br />crystal lattice;<br /><br />2) a variable hertz device<br />for extracting these <br />snapshots and making<br />them phosphoresce;<br /><br />3) an lcd display,<br />linked to these two,<br />that will broadcast<br />once-living memories;<br /><br />4) &, finally, a power source<br />built on blood & bone<br />with fission at its inner core<br />to echo these fallacies<br /><br />Once done with this invention, set it down at your feet. Power it on with trepidation, bathed in the crystal's heat. Do not shove it down, do not turn it off. Beleaguered by its humming truths, it is the candle, you are the moth. Invent what you can to show these things and bring your life around. Inventive mind that saves itself can only hope to drown - drown in visions of crystallinity and all the little wrongs, drown beneath the choppy waves and an undertow so strong. Invent with fury and a fiery intent so that when your work's complete, each system will have enough energy to guarantee the elite, guarantee their defeat. and leave you obsolete.<br />---<br /><br />" True love, like any other strong and addicting drug, is boring -- once the tale of encounter and discovery is told, kisses quickly grow stale and caresses tiresome... except, of course, to those who share the kisses, who give and take the caresses while every sound and color of the world seems to deepen and brighten around them. As with any other strong drug, true first love is really only interesting to those who have become its prisoners " - S. King - Wizard And The Glass<br />---<br /><br />Is it so strange that I see no point in trying to do anything when you're away? Strange that without you around my body becomes a numb shell I'm dimly aware of? To feel is only possible when cradled in your soft, loving arms. <br /><br />When we are apart, I feel as if I'm slowly falling away. I look back and wonder how I got through all those years without you, how I trudged through each monotonous day. How did I cope with the horrors of life in our blindsighted society, without your loving embrace to wash away the pain like waves caressing a beach shore? I can't say how I did it, but I can say I couldn't do it again.<br /><br />And I ask myself:<br /><br />Am I a horrible person, for hoping you feel the same way when you aren't around me? Is it so immoral to know you matter to someone? To know that you've touched someone so deeply? <br /><br />Do you lie awake at night wishing somehow that I will come to your side, as I do? Does your heart cry out for me, as mine does for you? <br /><br />What is the last thing running through your enigmatic mind before you close your beautiful blue eyes? Do you call out my name? Do you half-cry, half-plea my name, before you sleep?<br />---<br /><br />Tonight I will go to bed, knowing your far away from me. Tonight I will sleep, knowing that you're mind is in the same place as mine. Knowing your heart feels as lonely as mine. But I know also, that I am not entirely alone.<br /><br />When you go, know that you take a part of me with you. Let it protect and comfort you. Let it's loving warmth overwhelm you, and wash away the hurt. Let me be with you, love me as I love you. <br /><br />I will lay my head down tonight, still swirling with the images of your bright and radiant face. I will panic momentairily, until I find the fading scent of your hair and skin on my own. I will smile wide. I will call out your name. I will cry for you. I will say three magic words, the most meaning full words I have ever know; perhaps the only words that have ever had meaning: "I love you", and know that on the other end of this spectrum you'll hear these three words, and I'll hope with all my heart that it comforts you, and helps you to sleep.<br /><br />Know that even when we're seperated by well over a hundred miles, I am safely at home within your loving forgiving heart. Each beat supplying vital lifeforce to your etheral bodily visage. Every time you breathe every time your heart beats, know that I follow in complete unision.<br /><br />You are my lifeforce. You are my reason to be. You are me.<br /><br />Matter now, and matter to me.<br /><br />I love you.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Not able to find the cure the glass has broken. Shattered pieces catch the light revealing a path of faded memories gone by.<br /><br />Erase them I must and you with them. I want to shatter you; running my knife through your stone cold heart. No love and understanding did you give. Your heart unused I will tear it out of you and present it to the world. All to see now a blackened stone crushed to dust; you will return from that with which you came.<br /><br />The devil will welcome you at his side. May the fires of hell re-forge this glass.

                <description><![CDATA[ In time strange things will happen to you. Things that may challenge how you see this world, or believe it`s workings.<br />
<br />
You`re not crazy, what elevates you from being crazy is your ability to accept that which is out of the normality and the ability to cope. Trying to understand these events or words which will happen to you keeps you dynamic. <br />
<br />
Ignoring the reality of these things destroys the possibility of gaining something positive from the experience. If you remain inquisitive and get past the uncomfortable things then you can grow without fear or restriction.<br />
<br />
This is what true maturity is yet so few posses just that, even the elderly. <br />
When you believe something is true you've built a boundary against accepting new thoughts or beliefs, thus destroying the learning process. <br />
So always explore and never stop, always see and never go blind, always hear and never forget, just keep dynamic. <br />
<br />
Thus is this world we live in. You will thrive.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It's been a really err....arduous day. Parents complaining that I am unorganized, eccentric, and apparently "not-normal".<br />
<br />
It hasn't been easy to keep going lately, and if something doesn't come along soon, I'm not gonna be able to get outta bed. Hopefuly this time tommorow, my love will have returned, and my emotional state will have re-constructed into a solid foundation.<br />
<br />
As it stands though, I cannot function efficently as a person.<br />
<br />
Sorry for the short entry, but I have nothing else to say.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm in probably the best mood I've ever been. Aside from being well over 100 miles away from my beloved T.T<br />
<br />
 I've never been happier than at this point in time. I have a wonderful group of friends who all care about me (as I do them). I also have the love (and the right to love) the most amazing person I've ever met. For the first time in my life, I can honestly say I envy no man. I cannot ask for more than what I have at this point in my life.<br />
<br />
On another note, I'm going to give mucho praise to <a href="http://wafflewrath.deviantart.com/">WaffleWrath</a> He's a very close friend, and happens to have a novel in the works entitled <a href="http://wafflewrath.deviantart.com/art/Wloves-Calling-73131287">Wolves Calling</a>. He's an extremely talented writer, so be sure to give it a read and look for updates to it in the coming weeks. ^^<br />
<br />
I've discovered a new band! The Fall Of Troy. Very good band, unique style aswell. Anyone who's a fan of heavy rock should take a listen. \m/<br />
<br />
Not alot more to say. Oo<br />
<br />
Happy new year fellow deviants! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

I GOT GUITAR HERO 3! -dies-<br />

Bleh, I'm in a really hypertastical mood today. So I'm gonna cut this entry short, and go burn things in my yard.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Not a whole lot to say. Just felt like posting an entry. I'm not in the best of moods at the moment, and I'm sick. D:<br />
<br />
Hope the holidays go good for all of you who've been kind enough to view my page. I love you all.<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Not really sure what to say here;<br />
<br />
Thanks to those who have viewed my page, and didn't send me any scary death threats. Oo<br />
<br />
The last few days have been really rocky. Someone very near and dear to me went into the hospital Thursday, and didn't get out until 4:00 this afternoon. Needless to say; I was a little on the nervous side. (IV's are from hell...*shudder*)<br />
<br />
I'm in an overly cheery (yet extremely exhausted) mood at the moment. Which means my inner child wants to run around in circles babbling gibberish; despite the fact that my physical being has reached it's limit. (sounds fun right??)<br />
<br />
I plan to start learning Photoshop (seriously learning it this time).<br />
So look for some half-assed attempts in the near future. <br />
<br />
Hope the holidays go good for all of you! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>
