I miss how it used to be.

Getting older, it comes with both positives and negative. Probably hundreds of people have wrote essays on the pros and cons of growing up; contrasting, comparing, outlining, on one hand and on the other hand. And in conclusion, I reckon it depends on the outlook you have on life when you are thinking about the past. If your in a really shitty mood and your thinking about things that have happened, then your obviously gonna think 'I really screwed up there' or 'I really wish I could go back to...[insert brilliant times here]'.

Right now, I'm not in the best of moods and my outlook on life at the minute is a bit pessimistic. Thus, I'm obviously going to think of better times and wish I could go back and change something, just to make my future better.

Despite my religion and what the people around me think, I have my own opinions on how life works. Time is a human concept, so really time is wrong. Time will run out. Time is the space between one event to another. That space could be as small as nanosecond, but you can't take out a ruler and measure a moment. Time isn't fact, it's opinion.

We have always been beings of time but only because our time will run out.

If we were immortal, there would be no need for time.

All art is quite useless - oscar wilde

That quote is pretty true, when you think about it. Art is a luxury, after all. All you can do with art is scrutinize it, and decide whether you love it, hate it or have neutral feelings for it. Art isn't a necessity, therefore some people do not have the right to appreciate it.

Because I am pretty well off, well fed and all that, I do have the right to appreciate art. But it's useless. It can't make me toast or tea whenever I want. But art is nice, to put it simply. I really like makeup at the minute. I think that is a type of art, really. The face is like a canvas. Sometimes it isn't smooth, or right to paint on. Or maybe it's not even the right colour. So you've got to prime it, to make it smooth or to get rid of those unwanted pigments. Then you put down the base layer. And like painting you layer until you get that perfect, smooth colour you wanted.

There are so many things you can do with makeup. You can contort a person's expression, make them look like they've just been shot or make them look so eccentric that people mistake them for Lady Gaga.

Honestly, I love painting, and I really wish I had more faces to practice applying makeup on. With paint, you can buy canvas or paper. With makeup, you can't buy faces. However, both forms of art can make people so happy.

I think that's what I want to do with my life. When I'm older, and not so naive and self centered, I want to make people happy. Because honestly, how can someone be truly happy in a world full of miserable souls?

I can make you beautiful

Because beauty is just a lie.


This woman is really, and truly beautiful.
Honestly.


However, this is the lie that modern society call beauty.
I made this woman "beautiful" (using Photoshop CS5 Extended Trial Version) in a sense.
Because natural beauty isn't enough anymore.

Nothing

  • Yesterday was the 11th of September 2010.
  •  It's been nine years since 9/11. 
  • And Muslim people want to build a mosque near the site of the World Trade Centre.
  • In total 2,996 people died.
  • 2,606 were in the World Trade Centre.
  • 87 were on the flight American Airlines 11 - it crashed into the North Tower at 8.46am
  • 60 were on the flight United 175 - it crashed into the South Tower seventeen minutes later
  • American Airlines 77 had 59 passengers - it crashed into the Pentagon and killed 125 soldiers
  • United 93 never reached its destination - the White House
  • It crashed into an empty field in Stonycreek, Pennsylvania
  • The passengers on board the flight - 37- and the crew -7- all died.
  • They revolted against the hijackers after making phone calls to various people on the ground
  • During the struggle, the plane rolled left and right to stop the passengers entering the cockpit before waving the nose of the plane up and down but they weren't going to give up
  • The plane eventually rolled on its back and crashed, killing everyone on board at 10.03am
  • All 19 hijackers were killed.

I'm not sure what to think of this information.
It's just facts and figures
Nothing can replace the loss of those people who were killed
Nothing.

A dream

Beauty is colour
Beauty is black and white
Beauty is greyscale
Beauty is saturated
Beauty is unsaturated
Beauty is defined
Yet it is undefined
Beauty is a smile
A laugh
A kiss
A cry
A touch
Beauty is perfect
Yet so imperfect
Beauty is forever
It only lasts a moment
Beauty is ageless
And unforgiving
Beauty is a contradiction
That cannot exist

Ranting this time

  • Real ICT is learning how to write your own HTML and CSS, not clicking buttons on an out-of-date, no-longer-supported program such as Microsoft Frontpage
  • We could at least use a professional, and downright better program... like Adobe Dreamweaver CS5
  • How the hell do people get marks for using a HTML editor that makes crap that most everyday internet browsers cannot make heads or tails of? (Excluding Internet Explorer... of course Microsoft made that work -_-)
  • Seriously, if I was an ICT teacher, and I never will be, but if I was, I would not be in a head-lodged-firmly-up-my-arse state of mind. 
  • Nor would I wear girl's blouses (if I was a man ofc)
