Reality

Reality can change depending on where you look at it from. Think of reality as an object with many sides, and of an enormous magnitude. Its an object that can't be seen in its entirety from any point, no matter where you stand, you will never be able to see all of it at once. To be able to comprehend what reality could really be, you need to know more, its a case of "the more you know, the more you see," only then you begin to grasp a part of what reality could really be. A simple example is when you look at a rubber ball. As a child you only see it as an object that can roll and bounce around, that is the entire concept you have of what a ball is. As you grow older and start finding out what things make up the ball and why it actually bounces and rolls. You figure out that its made out of rubber and that rubber comes from petroleum and that petroleum is a natural resource. You also find out that the ball is able to bounce because it the energy you put into it as it hits the ground and the releases it by displacing it from the bottom part of the sphere to the one on top, giving it an impulse to jump up. Then you know that the energy that it uses it a combination of kinetic energy and potential energy. And finally you notice that the reason the ball starts to bounce less and less is due to the momentum of the ball slowing down. After all that you have reached a perception of the reality of the ball that it’s pretty complex. It is closer to the true reality of it but not 100% true just yet. After all this facts are know, if you so desire you can go deeper into the composition of the ball and analyze the quantum elements and behavior that the ball posses. The same concept can be applied to interaction with other people. If you're having a conversation with a person and then you come to a point of disagreement, you would fare much better if you took yourself out of context and look at your discussion from the third point of view and try to take notice of what both parties, you and your friend, feel towards the subject. Think of all the reasons why your friend my not agree with you think of what motive he or she might have to think that way and then do the same with you. Once an understanding of what each person feels and thinks has been reached, the reality of the topic at hand becomes clear. Now the topic is visible from two sides and there for your judgment will be more precise and fair to both. If more people start to join the topic of discussion you can start to see what the next party member thinks and knows about and you can then added it to you own understanding of the topic thus materializing a more complete version of the reality than both of your friends that are on topic with you. Its not a must to try and figure out all that there might be to know about any one thing, but if you put some effort into acquiring more information and noticing different perspectives, you will be better equipped to either enter a debate or to see more and appreciate whatever you might come across.

The Dungeon...

Constrained by the lack of knowledge of this dungeon, I blindly search for a way out. The corridors seem to get longer at every turn. The lights emitted by the torches are dim, making it impossible to see ahead. Constantly running towards a black hole. Sweat begins to drip down my body and the air starts to get thick. My legs begin to weigh more and more but I can't stop running, there is something creeping up behind. Consumed by fear I refuse to turn back and see what's there, all I feel is a stare locked on me, making my back feel as though two sticks where pushing against it, yet its not enough to make me look back. On the next right I make I see a sign of hope, a small stream of water running between the cracks of the stones that make up the ancient floor. I'm going up stream, and I think to my self -"there must be a way out at the end of this stream." My legs feel refortified, my mind finds some peace, when people say that water is the essence of life you really don't get it, but now here I am with new found strength and life just at the sight of running water. The stare on my back still stays, though now its bearable. I pick up speed and the stream gets wider, more water is visible on the floor, the source of this water must be getting near! Finally an exit to my nightmare, nothing could bring me more joy at this moment in time. The sound of the falling water is finally loud enough for my ears to hear, a few more feet of running and I feel a cold breeze carried by the waterfall I think its at the end. Yes I see it! its water coming from the ceiling. The end of the corridor I've been running in its finally coming to an end, and there at the end it's a big opening, its a great room shaped like a massive dome. The waterfall has filled the entire area, the piece of the ceiling that fell an allowed the water to fall is floating in the center of the pond. I come to a stop when the dry land ends, what am I supposed to do? I finally have the courage to look back...and there is nothing. Whatever it was I felt following me has stopped. I can't help to wonder what could've been and why did it stop. I didn't dwell too much into it, I look at the body of water in front of me and decided to go for a drink. The water was fresh, ah how relieving this felt after so many hours of running on damp and dark halls I finally get to a place where light is abundant. The hole in the ceiling is making everything shine, light just pouring from the outside world. The water keeps falling and I decide to rest. After a few minutes of resting I swim for the floating piece of ceiling. Half way through its when it hits me, whatever was following me for such a long time wouldn't just all of the sudden stop. There had to be something else to invoke such a reaction from it. I make it to the center and then a rumble is felt at my feet. I look around concerned and slightly afraid. Bubbles start coming from the bottom of this lake and a creeping roar is felt all over the dome. Bubble stop as does the roar and a dead silence takes over. It feels strange...all of the sudden the platform floating in the water starts to vibrate, an enormous splash of water explodes at the surface of the lake and there in the middle of all the chaos a shadowy figure starts to emerge...

Hate and Love

Hate is a powerful feeling; it takes a lot from one person to actually hate some one. It is the same as loving someone; same in the sense of power, on the effectiveness of it... well Hate is always victorious. When you hate someone and act upon your hate, you will always come out victorious. You do something to make someone suffer and it will always pay off. When you create suffering there is only different degrees of suffering. It could be minor suffering but its still suffering or it could be unbearable suffering, it’s all still just that... suffering. When you love some one you are in for a world of disappointment. You try to please and satisfy the person you love, you put all your heart into it and do everything with the best attitude possible and yet you are still looking at very unstable odds. Nothing will ever warranty you that what you do for love will be accepted in the way you want nor will you know if you will get the answer you want. Love is such a weak feeling when it’s put into practice. You are putting yourself on the line of fire when you act in the name of love; the receiving partner on the love encounter has the power to hurt you. One accepts the fact that pain may come on way but never prepares itself for it. Hate on the other hand is always full of accomplishment, like I said before there are only different degrees of suffering and pain, and thus only different degrees of satisfaction.

Cloud 9

NOTE You need to have read the Weed-O-Sphere post before this makes sense to you. Alright so the Weed-o-sphere was born, and with it a world full of happiness :) After a few days i think since the creation of the Weed-o-sphere, me and Saulo gathered together again. This time we went higher. Saulo started off by floating away, he couldn't control it. After looking at him struggling to stay down I decided to go and help em. I jumped on to where he was and tried to hold him down, and keep him on land, it was no use for we were on our way up. We started to ascend at a steady speed, the wind felt very comfortable as we soared into the vastness of the sky. We went so high that we had exit the earth itself and we were now in space. After some talk Saulo realized and amazing thing, the Earth's moon was in fact the Earth's very own "ass". After that realization we started to inspect all the other planets and realized yet another thing, Jupiter is a fat whore. Jupiter with its sixteen moons meant that it needed sixteen assholes to poop out all its shit. This also made it a whore because it took sixteen uh....instruments of pleasure to please Jupiter. With this revelation I found out the truth to the meaning of Saturn's rings. Saturn hooked up with Jupiter and had a massive amount of babies. These babies that were created by the interstellar relation that Saturn and Jupiter had, formed what we now see as the Rings of Saturn. Every ring is one of the being born from that cosmic event. Mean while as all of this was going on the Weed-o-sphere was doing something else. The Weed-o-sphere back at our Earth was having its own fun. Amy Lee from Evanescence went up to the Weed-o-sphere and (please don't ask "how" let your mind decided what is logic to you) hooked up with it. Now the Weed-o-sphere and Amy lee were getting it on. Both of them having sex with each other. The time this intercourse is not too clear since it was more of a cosmic event than something we human would be able to understand. After they were done, Amy Lee gave birth to Cloud Nine. Cloud Nine became the out most high point to ever be reached by a person. Amy Lee then went to make a song in honor of her offspring and titled it Cloud Nine. Me and Saulo landed on this Cloud Nine after the Jupiter/Saturn incident. Ah what a great place that is. In Cloud Nine you feel so great that you never want to leave, you just want to be there and enjoy what you feel, everything becomes real. While me and Saulo were there, we both indulged in what was going on, bliss. Then out of nowhere, I spotted these red bubbles, they were great in numbers, coming closer and closer to us. The bubbles started to bounce on my face, a bunch of them all at once. As they were bouncing, they would also start to pop right on my face, it felt great. The feeling was of a cool breeze on every spot where a bubble would pop. I asked Saulo if he saw them, and as expected, he did. It was great, a stampede of red bubbles full of pleasure bouncing all over the place. The bubbles stopped and me and Saulo were still up there in the cloud. We started to look around and saw that Chieky was all the way down. We tried calling him but we were so high that Chieky couldn't hear us at all. This created a problem, we heared a song we liked coming from the TV Chieky was watching and we told him to put it up, but just as before, Chieky couldn't hear us. I decided to take one for the team and went down to talk to Chieky. I made sure i had the means to come back up, so i tied my self to the cloud and slowly allowed my self to descend to where Chieky was. While i was going down i could see Saulo trying to reach for me, he thought i wouldn't come back. Once i reached Chieky i told him "put that up man we cant hear it up there!" Chieky looked at me and smiled. The music volume was up and with that my time to depart to the cloud had come. I made the climb all the way to the top, it was a relieve to be back up there with Saulo. We enjoyed ourself for a long time looking up at the space and just floating around, it was great. "Yo Saulo, we should call somebody to come here." I told Saulo while I was reaching for my cellphone. He agreed, and so i called Natasha. Natasha was a little too happy (drunk =P) and when she picked up the phone, who would've thought Cellphones work from outer space lol, and i told her "Come here to Cloud Nine with me and Saulo," the called ended. Natasha showed up in Cloud Nine only a few seconds later. Me and Saulo were in awe! Natasha had made it up to the cloud in a record time. We couldn't come up with an explanation so we decided to ask her how she had accomplished such a feat. "How did you make it up here so fast!?" me and Saulo awaited the answer anxiously, "Felipe called me." We started to laugh with Saulo, "we know why you are here, but how did you make it up here so fast?" "because Felipe called me and told me to come." It was a very humorous moment, laughing was all too easy, Saulo when he managed to catch his breath said "Natasha how did you physically make it up here so fast?" I don't think Natasha answered, if she did I certainly don't remember lol. After that me and Saulo just let our selves relax and enjoy Cloud Nine. Saulo after a while called Gus to come up with us. When Gus got there we talked for a while and laughed, it was a good time. Then it was time for him to leave, thats when Gus did something in expectable. Gus must've thought that jumping off was a good idea to get off the cloud, so he approached the edge of the cloud and jumped. It was so surreal to me and Saulo that we were laughing yet I felt scared. After we had calmed down we lost track of time and space, people say we made it back to Earth slowly and then we just went to sleep. It was an awesome adventure...

Welcome to my madness..

Thanks for coming; here you will find a collection of things I randomly come up with. Most of them are a way to vent out how I feel, others are just random stuff my mind comes up with. I like to write short stories on my spare time, hopefully I'll get to post some here too :) So please keep coming back, I post things every now and then and some times more often than others. Again thanks for coming and hope you enjoy what you see, and please feel free to comment!!! :)
