Mindless Persiflage

Just as the title says, this is just a random collection of thoughts and conversations i have with my subconsciousness.
Now, as I am frantically trying to type down four separate blogs, i cannot help but wonder why.
Why am I doing this?
Why is my school forcing me to do this?
Of course it's for the grade, but i find myself, every week, wracking my brain for things to ponder about. It truly is a hard thing to do. I admit some topics are less appealing than others, but then again i was desperate because i needed a good grade.
It is actually sad that this is graded. It puts a lot of pressure on us. What if our topic isn't satisfactory to our teacher?
Well, I actually know that experience. Originally I wanted this blog to be about me drawing things, posting them, and adding a short story to every drawing. I loved this idea.
I was so ecstatic, that i didn't come up with any other ideas to present to the teacher.
I was so sure she'd love it.
But, alas, she didn't.
Naturally I was quite down heartened. That idea was flawless, it was something i would've enjoyed doing.
But now, I am blogging about my thoughts.
Of course, I'd rather do this than blog about a concrete subject, But it's nnothing compared to my original idea.
Now, to quickly switch gears, Let's talk about this place.
I have only a few followers, yet others view me.
I wonder what draws them to my sad excuse for a blog.
It is quite pathetic really. Most entries are just rushed and mindless opinions on things.
None if it seems to mean anything.
And yet, strangers read it anyway. Don't get me wrong, I love getting views. However, I just want to know why.
Why my page?
Did one of my pitiful topics snag your attention?
If so, thank you for reading it. I'm surprised any one is reading this blog at all! It is funny how some things can appeal to others, while at the same time revolting the rest of us.
Again, I thank you for bearing with me, and until next week, blog on!!

Death and His Friends

You wanna know what is really weird?
Death.
We are all gonna die.
Seriously.
Let that sink in.
You.
Will.
Die.
Well, probably not now, but eventually.
Eventually, your existence as a person will disappear from the face of this earth.
Gone.
Forever.
Think about it, you will (hopefully) be lying in a hospital bed, wheezing for air, and suddenly POOF!
You're gone.
Is it a sudden thing, like turning off a light?
Or is it gradual, like the drying up of a stream?
Do you meet anything right before you go?
Or is it just empty blackness into the eternal nothingness?
Does your life really flash before your eyes?
Or do you not even have the chance to do that?
If you sit down and imagine yourself zooming through time to the day where you die, will you be able to accept that fate then and there? Can you accept the fact that not only you will die, but every one you see now? Every friend you've made, every stranger you have glimpsed, every single one will die.
Every single one will end up either rotting in an extremely expensive wooden box, or be burnt to a crisp and left to catch dust on someones mantle.
Can you look someone in the eye and think "You're going to die."?
Those beautiful eyes that are filled with life, can you just imagine them being dull?
Can you imagine those eyes being life-less and lacking in that color you love oh, so much?
Can you accept the truth?
It is truly a scary thing.
Sitting here, typing this, I am just floating in all of this.
All of this truth is surrounding my head like water.
It may not be what you want to hear,
It may not be what you want to accept.
But death will happen to you and everyone around you.

Opinions

It is quite amazing to think that a species that is made so similar, can be so different in more ways than one. 

The Human race is all built the same. Same limbs, same emotions, same organs, lots of it is the same.

However,e humans aren't the same. Our noses are different, our eye color is different, our height is different, our skin color is different, and most importantly,

Our opinions are different.

oh, sure, some people may share the same opinions, but maybe they don't share the same reason for supporting those opinions. And what's more,

We get defensive about them as well.

"oh, you don't like chocolate? How can you not like chocolate? chocolate, is like, the best thing in the world!!!" example one. Not being able to accept their opinion on something and trying to persuade them to like yours. It doesn't work very well, but we still do it.

For a personal example, I have many close friends who don't like cats.

I own four cats.

Now, when i first told them i have cats, they all reacted the same; That look on their face of "Oh come on, seriously? cats?" and them hastily explaining why they don't like cats.

However, i assured them that most likely the only reason they don't like cats os becasue they don't know hwo to act around them. Then i told them that my cats are trained not to bite, hiss scratch, or do anything to harm or scare people. They weren't very assured, but when they finally came over, I introduced them to Desmond, my 7 year old farm tabby cat. He's quite fat, but he is also the nicest cat you'll ever meet.

You literally could pull him around by his tail on a wood floor and he won't do anything to stop you. He is basically a teddy bear. 

So, when my hesitant friends met him, they instantly fell in love with him. I've convinced them to even kiss him on the nose. 

Now, i tried to persuade them to believe that cats are awesome, and even though i put up four good cases, they still say, "I only like you're cats.... all the other ones are mean."

So, that goes to show that you can try to persuade others to believe your opinion, and you can even have flawless evidence, but they still will probably stick to their own opinion.

Blog Out..

OverThinking

Our mind is a powerful thing.

We think we can tame it by expiraments and tests... We are mistaken. I have the feeling that we will never fully understand our brain. The things it can do are outstanding.

If you're injured, it can block the pain.

If you're scared, it can make you see things that don't exist.

If you're happy, you can replay that memory over and over again till your hearts content.

It can do a lot of amazing things. 

But within this power, there are downsides. 

Over-thinking.

It gets us all.

It only takes a small stimulus to set us off, but once we're off, so is our mind. 

We build upon that tiny stimulus. We assume things that aren't true. 

We wreck ourselves. 

And for what?

What does this Over-Thinking accomplish? 

How can it aid us? 

Easy.

It doesn't.

All it does is create chaos within our already chaotic mind.

That fire doesn't need any more kindling.

But why do we do it? What possesses us to create false things?

Again, that is a question I cannot answer. Perhaps the human race will never be able to answer it. 

Shame.

We could save a lot of things if we could just figure out why our minds tend to wander and cause destruction.

But, like I said before, the mind isn't meant to be fully understood.  

Adventure In my BackYard

Well, not to disappoint you, but this isn't exactly in my backyard. It's actually in my neighborhood, but I call it my "backyard" anyway.
So, for those of you who have read The Hunger Games, you know that Katniss and Gale escape past the "electric" fence to a world beyond their district 12. The same thing, in a way, can be said for me.
In the bowels of my neighborhood, lies an old, red gate with the sign "NO TRESPASSING" hanging on it. You can climb over it and you land on an old dirt road that has been literally carved into the earth by years of wear and tear.
You're in the deep woods now.
As you walk down this old road, you come across a mossy pond that is usually noisy with frogs, but as you walk by, they all go silent. You then come to a clearing, the meadow, and you are on the top of a hill, overlooking the meadow and surrounding forest.
You can't hear any cars.
You can't hear any people.
You just heat nature.
I usually find myself venturing back here a lot in the spring, summer, and fall time. The seasons do such wonders to this place of bliss and I adore going there. I sometimes lay down a blanket and  just nap for awhile. The peacefulness of it is almost overwhelming, but you can't stop going.
It draws you.
I can hear it calling my name everyday.
Calling me back.
Begging me to visit soon.
Winter is the toughest season because I cannot visit it.
I miss it dearly. The snow makes it difficult to trek into the woods. However, when spring comes, I go there the first chance I get.
It is my getaway.
My great escape.

Ferocious Fandom

If you are not already familiar with what a "Fandom" is, it is a group of people who all adore the same story. That story can be a book, TV show, movie, and anything in-between! It stands for "Fans Kingdom". There in that kingdom, the fans can chatter about their favorites things without being ridiculed or judged.
EVERYONE is accepted in a fandom.
Now think, are you a huge fan of a movie series, book series, or TV series?
If so, then you are part of that fandom. If you ever want to rant about your show, just go online, find a blogging site (I highly recommend Tumblr) and just rant. Your fellow Fandomites will accept you!!
Personally, I am in a lot of Fandoms. I am in the Harry Potter Fandom, The Hunger Games Fandom, Fullmetal Alchemist Fandom, Avatar: The Last Airbender/The Legend of Korra Fandom, and Attack on Titan Fandom. That's a lot of things to be involved in!! but it is so much fun!!
However, I must give you a fair warning, some people can get pretty serious when it comes to who they "ship".
Shipping is the way you and other  people picture the characters in your show in a relationship. Personally, I am a sucker for whatever is canon. "Canon" is the term referring to a relationship that the author/writer/director/whatever originally paired together. For example, Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley are "canon". But some people think Harry should've ended up with Hermione. In that case, they ship HarryxHermione together. This IS NOT canon!!! Don't be afraid to express your ships proudly though!!! You can like whatever you like (Like, come on guys. Jinora and Skootchy are TOTALLY adorable together!!!!) Some people will agree and some won't, but you'll always be accepted (well, as long as you accept others, that is...)
SO.
I hope you have realized what Fandoms you are in.
Odds are, you are in one! Don't be afraid! EMBRACE YOUR INNER FAN.
It's alright! Fandoms are quite fun indeed!! :)
