Ayulsa City - Ieeya

Something in the news far away...

Hoo, enjoying your time there? Anything good happens in your side?

Hm. Nothing appropriate for a public discussion I would say.

Nyuu... Okies, as long as you're doing fine, all's good~

Oh, outwardly speaking, I am always fine. Physical threats are not too common these days.

... Then, mental threats? *tilting head*

A lot!

the lesson of the moth

i was talking to a moth
the other evening
he was trying to break into
an electric light bulb
and fry himself on the wires

why do you fellows
pull this stunt i asked him
because it is the conventional
thing for moths or why
if that had been an uncovered
candle instead of an electric
light bulb you would
now be a small unsightly cinder
have you no sense

plenty of it he answered
but at times we get tired
of using it
we get bored with the routine
and crave beauty
and excitement
fire is beautiful
and we know that if we get
too close it will kill us
but what does that matter
it is better to be happy
for a moment
and be burned up with beauty
than to live a long time
and be bored all the while
so we wad all our life up
into one little roll
and then we shoot the roll
that is what life is for
it is better to be a part of beauty
for one instant and then cease to
exist than to exist forever
and never be a part of beauty
our attitude toward life
is come easy go easy
we are like human beings
used to be before they became
too civilized to enjoy themselves

and before i could argue him
out of his philosophy
he went and immolated himself
on a patent cigar lighter
i do not agree with him
myself i would rather have
half the happiness and twice
the longevity

but at the same time i wish
there was something i wanted
as badly as he wanted to fry himself

This chair.

I HAVE RETURNED.

Actually, not really. Busy as ever, no one really cares, and I was never actually gone. The place just got rather un-post-attractive.

I care. ;A;

Hard to believe. Haha.

Okay, I lied. But it's the thought when your first read it that counts.

Sup mimichinha?

Nothing to mention. Just being busy having a life.

Bah, how dull.

Indeed.

16 now. By the numbers, seems realistic to hit 20 before 2015, but War and Peace and Moby Dick seem hard to finish quickly.

?
*rolling around*

I use this thread mainly as memo these days. In the OP you'll find my 2014 book log. I say I read a lot, but when I actually count them, it's really low.

If only I'm not so lazy. Maaaan.

Well, you're not as lazy as me, so it's fine~

So what's your latest read?

Currently about one third into War and Peace. I have 4 left on my backlog.
