WIthin the institution of society, there is a desire for the dramatic.  A plea that the every day world and routines that are walked and checked is pierced with the spear of the abnormal.  The cries seem deafening to one who listens for them.  It is not so much that they want a tragedy, but if it happened, some would feel a sense of relief for the ( Read more... )

So I am just kinda sitting here in typography.  My mind just keeps wandering and I can't seem to focus on any one thing for more than 5 minutes.  I seem to drift off into the abyss of daydreams.  I imagine myself if I were in a 2-dimensional form, not being able to move except for up and down, left and right.  The world is flat like a Mario game.  ( Read more... )

I find myself unable to concentrate on anything in particular save the shapes, colors and shadows of the room.  The time ticks by and while I understand that I could easily have finished this quite a few hours ago, I cannot focus. I seem to be lost swirling down a rabbit hole and into an abyss of unending shapes and colors much to the effect that a ( Read more... )

I live my life through visual representations of it in my mind.  That's just how I see the world, as one giant piece translated into various mediums.  Say for instance that someone said the word, "Tomato."  An auditory person might see the word t-o-m-a-t-o.  A visual learner could visualize the tomato.  However, you say tomato and I visualize a ( Read more... )

atrumsomnium: me and paz both figured out a bit ago that the net was really starting to slow down

atrumsomnium: to flush out all the bad files

krazymonkeygrl: what did they do that makes them bad?

atrumsomnium: because they disrupted all of the good files

We consistently do things in life that we don't always mean to do.  We make mistakes and seem to never learn until the end.  Occasionally we get it and we make amends or refrain from creating the situation altogether.  However, sometime it takes someone else pointing it out, whether subtly or bluntly, for us to understand.  You can't view someone a ( Read more... )

The only thing that saved him from being trapped in that room was the maid coming in to turn over the sheets.  The thought that he might be trapped in a 5th story room forever made him cringe.  Catching a ride on the back of someone's scooter, the fan got quite a view of the city.  He saw a huge palace with guards wearing tall furry hats ( ( Read more... )

Setting off into the distant lands of New Paltz, the fan had a thought.  "If this is NEW Paltz, where is Paltz?  The first one, the one this town was named after?"  Sure, there were more places on this campus that he had never been to, but the dorms disinterested him.  He wanted to see things different from schoolwork, parties and the occasional ( Read more... )

After freeing himself from what could have been eternal bindings, my fan got out and looked around the room.  He needed to find a way to escape this prison of walls and see the world.  The logical decision would be the door, but no matter how hard he tried and no matter how good the lasso made from his cord might be, he could not get the door to ( Read more... )
