Pumpkin Trends

Emily Strange is one of those concepts that I suppose are created for people with the need to set themselves appart from the crowd. You want to show you're different, and weird, and that you probably are a lot deeper than others. You probably are. But what happens, with those cute little concepts, is horrible. Like Jack the King of Halloween from "Nightmare before Christmas", they are abused. Some people, who think it's neat, buy it cause it goes real well with that outfit they bought (and because the cool chick from the other class has one too). So the whole point (there we go again) is kinda lost.
Well, if you really think most people are followers and don't really know why they say, think and wear the things they say, think and wear, then you shouldn't really be offended by the abuse of weirdness and geekyness, but in the end you are, cause even though you don't care what other people think about you, doesn't it piss you off that you could be taken for some stupid chick who doesn't even know who the *&%? the skeleton guy on her bag is?

Humour

I am a person with a good and weird sense of humour. So I wanted to share the very funny things that brighten up my day sometimes with the readers.
What you definitly should check out is www.askaninja.com and www.hopeisemo.com.
It's terrific. But I'm not sure everyone gets the terrificness of it...
And then I thought I'd give you some funny quotes from one o fmy favorite series, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". So there we go...

"You know, people underestimate the value of a good ramble." -- Buffy

"Maybe Buffy unplugged the phone."
"No, it's a statistical impossibility for a sixteen- year-old girl to unplug her phone." -- Giles and Xander

"Well... When I'm with a boy I like it's hard for me to say anything cool, or witty, or at all. I - I can usually make a few vowel sounds. And then I have to go away..." -- Willow

The Point

Have you ever wondered why you do the things you do? I mean, right now, I am wondering, why exactly i am wasting my time writting something probably nobody will read. But I'm talking about things like working, or learning something, going to school. We need to get a good education if we ever want to be worth something. And being worth something means having a job, which we are successful at, meaning it makes money. Or at least, if it's not the money, it should be meaningful. And maybe a family, that loves us, a few kids, a house...But what's the point in that? It doesn't mean anything in the end. You're just another being that lives and dies, in this gigantic circle of life. So, let's say, you go and you learn. You try to achieve as much knowledge as you can. You try to get wise. What then? Do you write books? Do you start a sect, where you teach your followers all about the things you have learned? Or do you just sit there and smile, knowing that you know more than the others and that they are all ignorant. Seems very pointless. The other possibility seems to have sex involved and a dog or a cat. What other ways are there...? You could try to do something important. You could try to change the world, to make it better, to be strong and fight all the injustice in the world and the creeps, who don't give a damn about nature, other humans or anything that doesn't seem profitable. At least that sounds like it has a point.
Although, if you believe in something greater, that created us and that lets us be as we are, meaning, on one side distructive but on the other side capable to great emotions, there must be a point in being just a "little (wo)man". There must be a point recreating and loving and feeling and then dying. And there always is a point in learning, right? Maybe not a cosmical point, but a I-burned-my-hand-so-now-I-know-fire-is-bad kinda point. They tell us you make mistakes to learn from them. Maybe the point of life is making mistakes. Hmm.

Heat

Summer never really was my favorite season, but this year it really is killing me. Aren't people worried that it's getting warmer every year? I actually read that Bush put a woman in charge of the environement protection who doesn't believe in climating change and the melting of the icecaps. That's comforting, really.
People get crazy in this heat. You can't be in the city for longer than a few hours before getting really tired. And there are dead fish in the lake. That just not a good sign.
I recommend that you stay inside, but icecubes in your tub and stay in there with a good book. That's the way you really cool down...but get out of the tub when you can't feel your limbs anymore.

The First

In life, the one thing keeping us going is the first. The first day at school, the first bike, the first kiss, the first beer...
You are always waiting for something to happen for the first time. And when it does, depending on what it is, it is great or terrible, but in any case, you're not waiting anymore.You're not wondering anymore, what it might be like...

This being my first post on this blog, I can tell you all about it. The moment I will push that button saying "post entry", a part of my heart will go cold. Some people might say it doesn't count, because I have another blog, and I have posted articles on it for a long time now. But I'm telling ya, it's not the same.
Anyway, I'm alway happy writting, so the cold spot there doesn't really bug me.

What else? Well, I'm doing this cause I like to share my thoughts wth people and I love to brabble stuff that could be mistaken for philosophical thoughts. So, I welcome you, and hope you'll read me again.
