It's the end of the world as we know it

I think we're getting to the end of the civilization. Not our civilization. Drop the possessive. You see, throughout history we've seen great civilizations rise and fall, but you could always tell whose they were. Roman empires, Mongolian ones, etc... They often crashed for different reasons

But now we have the world as it is today, and I can only describe it as the Capitalist Empire. Doomed to fall. Integrated, woven throughout every aspect of our lives, the very foundations. And it's rotting.

On seeing the world as it really isn't.

There are many ways of looking at the world. People have been murdering each other over it for hundreds of years, in fact. Murder, after all, is the best way to decide if not who is right, then at least who is left.

On the Concept of Magic.

Magic is like Nazis or the Devil (didn't see that coming, did you?).

Well, it is, in the sense that it is often used by lazy people as an excuse for something better,

like (in the case of Nazis)

• your own psyche
• yourself from the future
• fate itself

or (in the case of Magic (capital M))

• sufficiently advanced technology
• dreams
• etc...

Storytelling

I've had some ideas about storytelling.

Always have.

Recently, I realized how dumb it is that a lot of people neglect and diss a medium that seems made for storytelling: games

Random Rant

What am I going to do?

It's a short question, but just as deep and difficult to answer as "Who am I?" or "Why am I here?".

Just ask yourself:
What are you going to do?

Just a warning: this iz sirius post => no silleh picshurs

Music

There is amazing music out there.

There is no doubt about that, everyone agrees.

There's just some debate on what qualifies as awesome (or a music, for that matter. Yes, I'm looking at you, industrial-fans).

The Apocalypse

I have a question for me.

Yes, for me.
There's no point asking you, dear reader, because of the indirectness of this wonderful medium.
I wouldn't know who I was talking to.

Time

Yeesh! Looks like I can't shut up about time, huh?

anyway => no, I'm not editing the previous post.

The Harry Potter Puppet Galls are here to stay.
Why, might you ask? Cuz I'm a lazy bugger, that's why.

In honor of my four gods

Now, I've stated before that I'm not a believer, and I am. Not, I mean.

Err...

Anyway....

So, why the three "gods", do you ask?

Well, it's pretty simple. My previous post was cause to some concern (admittedly, from my parents, but still) and people might wonder how I got through such a difficult time in my life *wink wink*.

Sleep, life, and other bitches.

There's a very serious truth to be found in the downsides of staying up late.

For one thing, you could get the symptoms (the ones I mentioned in the 'trains' rant).

There are others, of course. Like lack of concentration, hyperactivity, hypersensitivity, paranoia and the tendency to annoy cats.

Trains

Trains have something magical.

There's no denying that, contrary to, say, the car,

travel by train has something special, unique.

The rhythm of the tracks, the sound of the engines, the wheels turning.

Games

I'm proud of myself.

I've managed to start a blog (with Nerdy Nonsense in the title ffs!)

without talking about games for a long while. 2 days.

You lost them

lolwomen

We've arrived at a time in which men and women are equal. More or less.

I'm sure you know this feeling.

You're staying up late for some reason.

You've been studying/working past 8 'o clock. You've had dinner only after that.

You have more coffee in your system than Brazil, and now, it's 4 o'clock. AM.

You should go sleep. And then there's this one site, or one really cool person you start talking to.

And the coffee wears off.
