MikeBG Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Hey guys i`m sort of depressed today so i want to express my point of view of our surrounding world . Don`t blame me for any mistakes , you can correct them , its not an essay just a bundle of thoughts. Maybe some of them you`ll consider as cliches , i don`t say something outrageous or mark something never said before . About one`s life ... huh what can i say i think people`s life is like the photograph`s reel . Your whole life goes with making pictures and snapshots around ,storring the good ones and deleting the bad ones ( at least trying ) , Its just like one`s life is full of pictures which are not worth making , and maybe you ask yourself why have i made this one or is there something special about the picture i`ve already made , you just crumple it and throw it in the garbage , as soon as one becomes a photographer he realises that the rubbish bin becomes bigger and bigger until the thrash goes out of it and starts to overflow . What should one do of course throw the garbage in the dust bin , dust bin with all the bad moments of one`s life and then ...the rubbish-bin lorry comes and collects the big liter-bins and all goes in the ocean of dunghill.... where try to release themselves from the experiences. Well i think that people is quite general for the human beings that we`re turned out to be today , or we are animals stalking our prey behind the bush and attack it without its expecting . You`ll ask yourselves why this full is cramming us with all this stuff , couse buddies today i realised that no matter how much friends do you have or how much money or even if you hold the world in your palm when you go back to home you are alone again . Man borns and dies alone ! Thats the pure truth , no blaming no fairytales , why are fairy tales - maybe to tear you from the reality - make you run away for a while away from the cruel world ... couse we live in mathearelistic world . World without values. World which doesn`t care how its dwellers live , world which doesn`t care about the poverty about the rich people which make money legally ... a world which you fight only for your survival . Òhe joy and the sorry can`t be entirely shared . As a matter of fact my friends i wrote this because i feel alone now , except i have a lot of friends ... not real ones but everyone knows that real friends is just like a jugglery. You don`t know exactly how the magician makes it but you know that all you see is just a beautiful illusion . Since you understand the trick and practise it you can make friends hence the juggle stuff. I ask myself why i can`t say the magical words mumbo - jumbo and turn the world into a big conjured trick where people live together etc. I`m also writing this post because my best friends don`t act like best friends? Maybe i`ve been hypnotized till now and i wasn`t able to see the reality , and now after my "revival" i`m too confused what is happening and where i have been till now , or i`m writting about that the things with my girlfriend are not going on the swimmingly?You ask your self why this is happening and why is everything so brutal and repulsive ! You ask yourself am i on the right planet ? Thats what i Do ask myself now , and the answer is yes . i`m on the right planet , i just have to wash my eyes eat my breakfast and keep struggling in this world .... your world ... my world P.S. I`ll be gladful if you can give me some feedback of this . thanx for the attention .to be continued .. some day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erin Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Glad to know you're on the right planet. It's difficult, even hypocritical, to tell others to be happy, to see the beauty in their lives around them, but perhaps a reminder now and then to take a moment and look around you does serve a bit of a purpose. And of course, we all share the same feelings from time to time. Hope the TOEFL and SAT aren't contributing to your angst. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBG Posted October 14, 2004 Author Share Posted October 14, 2004 haha , well it was one of the moments one strikes the balance about the surroudings ... now i see that it was useless but at least i got a lot of applouses by some friends for the original idea (at least they say so ) and an 6 from my teacher , and no its not because of the TOEFL and SAT exam , so keep working on the exam prep. For the others don`t worry this is not a result from too much studying :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knok Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Sabna, How did you get your avatar? It is kind of cute. Hahaha...:) Mike BG, It is my turn to tell you the story. Last week, I went to a seminar in Las Vagas by myself and stayed in Circus Circus, Las Vegas, where there are both for adults'casino and children's. It was pretty cold though. I arrived there at 4:30 a.m. my time, or 2:30 a.m. local time. Actually I arrived since 11:40 p.m. but long que shuttle bus made me wait almost 2 hours outside the airport. After that I really had a busy time during the seminar. The schedule was expected to finish at 4 p.m. but it ended at around 2 p.m. I had flight at 6:30 p.m. My friend, who came from California and used to meet me only twice, had to take another friend to the airport who had to leave at 4 p.m. Oh..no.. my flight was 6:30 p.m. I was not going to wait at the airport for 4 hours. I decided to ask her to take me to whereever she wanted to go. Then, she came back to Circus Circus again. Actually, I planned to see the circus which has showed every hour. But once I went there, the show just ended at that moment. Therefore, I had nothing to do. I have no idea how to play a slot. I just strolled around doing nothing in the casino and didn't plan to gamble since it was not my character to do that. I walked and observed behaviors of people who played in the casino to kill the time. Then, my friend looked at the watch and rushed out to exchange money for tokens to play slots. I just watched her playing. She told me, "Hey, Knok, We have two hours. I am going to play for 40 bucks only." She started putting the tokens in. I didn't even know how they worked. Instead, I felt terrible with the smoke. Then she gave me 4 tokens but I lost all of them. Fifteen minutes later, she continued playing and switching from one machine to another. I just walked along her. Once she put one dollar in the last machine. Suddenly, $175 fell out of a slot. Poong...poo..poo...It was such a pretty noise..of the coins came out one at a time for almost 10 minutes. Jackpot.."Hey! Get t..out of here!, you have a free trip to Las Vegas." I said. [clap] She laughed happily at last. " You are my good friend. If I don't bring you here, I may play until mid night and had nothing left in my pocket. Let's go. I wish that we could be lucky with our next test." :tup: "Sometimes, we get lucky from things we don't plan to do but fail to achieve what we expect to happen. Life is sometimes like a gambling.This is my world."[goodjob] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeBG Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 Hi to both of you. So first knok "Love life get paid and then get laid" Is a sentance which stayed in my mind since i`ve watched the American Wedding movie. Its a quote from Finch. "Love life get paid and then get laid" I don`t know how to exlpain the meaning , knok if you can ask sb in America to interprete it ... i think you know what get laid is ... ;] however its just a joke. Sabna, you wrote : There would be no worries if u have deep faith in God..the problem is no one has deep faith..!!!! prayers , didn`t you? So in reply to this i`ve written, I think you have faith in GOD, judging from your words. Regards Miche-angelo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebullfighter Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Thirty six A few days ago, it was my birthday or the day of my birth. Supposed to be fun; full of cheer and mirth, but it wasn’t. My parents bought me a camera: a shiny, new one. SLR, Auto Focus lens with 35 mm zoom; Placed it on the table in my room and told me, ”It’s all yours! Use it well! Click away!” And they left me with my camera. My new camera. Stepped out to buy a roll for it, bought it, put it in and stepped back in. Had a nice lunch, left home at around four. Stepped out the door with my new camera in hand and clicked away to glory, clicked beautiful sights and clicked things, gory. That night before even returning home, I gave the roll for developing constantly hoping that I’d get Pulitzer-prize winning snaps. A few days later, the snaps are ready. Hands trembling, weak in the knees, I open the envelope and see thirty six photographs. I…admire…them…? Damn it! Zut! Merde! First fifteen: Blurred. Next Fifteen: Worse. Post the next five (all terrible), I begin to nurse a pounding headache. I go home and straight to my room, where I can curse and fume in solitude. Disappointment gets its chance and without even a cursory glance, sets up camp in my heart. Hammers the tent-pole in; penetrates like a dart. Hopeless, I toss all thirty five ‘loser’ photos aside and am about to override the last one, the thirty sixth; but something stops me. With a ‘what-the-heck’ attitude, I raise the picture to my eyes. This is when the heavens part and a thunderous voice booms - ”Look! The fearless lad cries!” And why shouldn’t I? Reader, you be the judge while I make an attempt to justify these tears that so easily roll down my cheek; to prove to you that these tears do not make me weak. The last photograph has been developed beautifully. Awesome… It is almost as though the guardian angel of cameras had entered my SLR when I did click that thirty sixth pic. The photograph, your honor, was an attempt to recreate a snapshot which quite literally made history - A dying kid and a vulture beside. A vulture was at that child’s deathbed. Perhaps it is a coincidence, perhaps fate… For, there is but a single difference in the two photographs: A vulture lay in wait in that one; a street-mongrel in this. Waiting for the young one to kick the bucket so that it can settle down to a special treat - Dead street-child; a rare type of meat. Even the Pulitzer, your honor, if I get it this day, can NEVER make that image fade away. I shall have to live with it. I can tear the snapshot. Tear it, shred it and burn the shreds. None of that will make any difference because now, that photograph has scanned itself into the recesses of my mind. I shall have to live with it now. Your honor, I hereby rest my case and hope (though in vain) that one day, It’ll no longer hurt and no longer pain. Yes, your honor. These are some more tears. Now, must I justify them too? -not known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
