@tine, Am I going insane or is the world sane enough for me not to understand it? |
| Tine
see, this is how i know you are wrong, the witches contacted me the other day, explaining the brew WAS society split into 3 cucumber slices, instead of chocolate, they use the word fudge, fudge then contains the blood that drips from the radioman’s hands which explains why (R)adio + (T)ee-shirt = math. |

She took a step back to catch her breath, a mix of sweat and blood dripping from her forehead. She touched the gash in her forehead and looked at the blood on her fingers. I got up and replied, “Hmm yes, that is strange… but we’re not here to talk, are we?” She laughed. “Are you ready to meet your doom?” Now it was my turn to laugh. “Absolutely, but… you always talk about my demise, yet you fail to deliver. What makes you think this time will be any different? Hmm? She raised her dagger and asked “Trying to be a badass, are we? You know, I just knocked you to the ground.” “That is true…” I replied, “..but I’m not the one who’s panting and sweating. Nor am I bleeding as much as you are. Do you want to take a break?” She laughed and said “Don’t even try, I know you’re just trying to slither away, you know that you’re losing.” There was no fear in her eyes, nor was there any anger. Her grudge was long gone. The last couple of times she had returned merely for the passion of strife, and the sheer joy of the bloodshed. “Those cracks in your sanity are beginning to show.” I said, “Isn’t it funny how you’re becoming more and more like the man whom you want to put to an end?” She smiled, “Well, I realized something. I understood why you did what you did, I understand you. I no longer wish to terminate your kind for revenge, I gave up that illusion of righteousness a long time ago, what I want is to replace you. She got closer, I raised my guard and said She charged at me, we crossed blades, she flung mine away. She took a swing, but I caught her arm. “I’m impressed, you’ve improved. But let’s fight on equal terms, shall we?” I say, as I disarm her. She agreed. She took something out of her pocket, she tried to conceal it, then she threw off the cliff. All I could see was that it was sharp and shiny. “A secret weapon? You’re bringing secret weapons to our fight? How dare you, how could you stoop so low? This is unacceptable!” I charged at her, she tried to retaliate but she was just too tired. I grabbed her by the throat. “See, I told you that you were losing your power. You’re too tired to fight. I could end this right now, and I should, since you cheated. As much as I enjoy this game, I cannot tolerate this. This is supposed to be my haven, my peaceful place, yet you come here time and time again, and now you bring concealed weapons…” I lead her over to the cliff. She nods, as tears start emerging from her eyes. I throw her to the ground. What little fighting spirit was still in her before had now left, she was depleted, exhausted. She was defeated. “Once again, you disturb my peace and try to kill me. Once again, you ended up defeated on the ground, crying, trying to grasp onto your life. And once again, I claim my prize, you know the rules of this game.” As I started walking toward her, I said, “Isn’t it strange… how we forget what it feels like to learn the same painful lessons that we’ve already learned? Isn’t it peculiar how-” With panic in her eyes, she screamed “BEHIND YOU!” I laughed, “So, you’re resorting to this? Did you really think that I would fall for that?” A hand lands on my shoulder, and I hear a strangely familiar voice. I turned to look. It was a strange, hooded, disfigured man, I couldn’t see his face but I know I had seen him somewhere before. “That was quite some duel, I witnessed the whole event. You have improved a lot since last time we met. I knew that if this turned into a fight I would stand no chance, especially not after my duel with her. I was starting to suspect that this might be the end of the line, but I would not give up with a fight to the hilt. “What do you want? Have you come to challenge me?” I asked him. He smiled, “That is a tempting offer, indeed… but that is not why I am here. And I don’t think you are in appropriate condition for fighting…” I was relieved. I asked him, “Then why are you here? I thought we agreed that I would stay here and you would not come here.” He smirked. “Oh yes, we did. But I have good reason to oppose this agreement. ‘In memorias res’ – A short story I made for an assignment in middle school |

@tine, That’s the whole story, getting someone interested in seeing where it goes was the only point of it, so I guess it’s not that bad after all. |
|
| Tine
very nice, you should continue it at some-point, even from the small clip of the story the story appears strong and radiates with potential |

@tine, But the magic is in the fact that it is incomplete, it starts of in the middle of something and ends before it’s over, this creates tension. If I gave you the beginning and the end, that magic would be gone, and you would see that it isn’t really a good story. The tension was all it had to offer. Just like a typical club song, very little musical value, but lots and lots of tension keeps you wanting more. You don’t know where things are going, that’s what makes the whole thing. But it’s an illusion, the stories, songs, movies, etc. are very predictable, most of the time you’re already certain how it will end. But in the moment, there is still that tension, and even if you understand where things are going that part of you doesn’t. It’s the same thing with art. A perfectly made portrait is just an attempt at a replica, it may look good, but it’s still just an imitation, and it’s not as good as the real thing. I’m not even a good writer, if I were to complete a story it still couldn’t compare to what’s already out there. And why make an inferior imitation, know what Im sayin? The story isn’t good, it’s all in the tension. It’s like sex. Which of the following are more exciting? That’s what I thought. It’s a bit scary actually, because people’s desires can be manipulated by simple teasing like this, things become more precious when they’re slightly out of reach. Anything can be made to grasp a person’s interest with the right methods, it’s all in the tease, building up the tension, and not giving it to them. The higher the tension, the sweeter the release. The more you want something, the better it feels when you get it, that’s why foreplay was invented. Because after all, we choose to get ourselves so excited about things, just because we love the feeling of release. Things aren’t just striking our fancy for no reason, it’s our opportunistic minds seeing a chance to get off. We love to struggle because overcoming struggle is the only way to feel release. We always find things to get bothered about, and if we don’t we create them. |

Spew of my thoughts for 5 minutes: plus, we’re moving! Again! 3rd time this has happened around christmas. I am becoming numb to this crap. Plus i’m one hell of a scrooge for christmas this year, haha. I was at the zenith of my happy-wave, but apparently this is the down. Oh well, there will be another up as soon as this season passes. Hopefully college will be as awesome as my friend tells me it is! I like potatoes. I had a baked potato for dinner. Why is this even on my mind? *SPOILER* the first two paragraphs are the only useful part! |

He smirked. “Oh yes, we did. But I have good reason to oppose this agreement. both sighed in relief, she for avoiding a cliff dive, he for avoiding the same fate, slowly they began to relax into the idea of a plan that did not include them testing their ability to fly. he smirked again, “Good.. now that you are relaxed and see a future, know my plan… i was only kidding, of course i am here to kill you..” and with a burst of an energy field, sent them both to their fate. |

Z+ is nice and all, but I think the term is too great to have Z attached. How about a new letter to commemorate it? |

A priest, a rabbi, and Spiderman were about to walk into a bar. The priest ran in. Two forks were cruising among the clouds. Two horses were out flying on a sunny afternoon. Why the long face? A dog was flying around in a glass. Two elks were flying around. One said to the other: Once upon a time, there was another time. “Watch out for that pitfall.” What do you call a joke between two interns? A man ordered one meter of sausage from the butcher. The butcher replied that they don’t sell by the meter, only by the kilo. So the man ordered a kilometer. “Hey waiter, this tastes like rabbit!” Skeletor walks into a bar. He orders a beer and a towel. All the ants in the ant hill were pissed off about the elephant that always ruined their anthill. So they all attacked him at once, but the elephant just shook them all off. All but one. “Can I please have your poop, if you don’t mind?” I can’t for the life of me remember the colour of the queen’s white horse. I do, however, remember a fork stuck in her eye. Why did mrs Fsh leave mr Fish for mr Fisherman? I named my cats One and Two, so that if One dies I still have Two. Who sent you that anonymous love letter? Right when I took a dump in that vent, that’s when the shit hit the fan. What do you get if you do a handstand with a cat on your feet while someone is playing the banjo? Why did the elephant go to the ant’s funeral? Why is that pop song sounding so wishy-washy? A wheelchair bound man and his wife found a magical cave that could restore any one person to perfect condition. But only one of them. Since the man was in a wheelchair, they decided that he would be the one to enter the cave. The stallion didn’t get lucky with the mares. They were all over some other stallion. One day he found out why. The other stallion was bringing them carrots and apples. Once upon a time there was a young girl named Emma Royd. All the kids made fun of her, until one day she slit her wrists. A hunter accidentally shot himself. His hunter friend called 911 and told them what happened, that his friend was dead. The lady on the other end of the line asked if he’d made sure that the man was really dead, and not just passed out from the pain. She heard a rifle shot, and the hunter said “Now I have.” Those triplets in the submarine, what’s their names again? |

I was gonna shoot some pool, but the queue was too long. What’s the difference between a polar bear? Want to hear a sick joke? Why did Stephen Hawking try to play golf? This show is a drag. |
