Ethereal-dust• Show poetry

Aheh. I tend to ramble incoherantly, but i'd like to think that some of my poetry makes some sort of sense. I'm not sure theres a lot more I can say, describing myself is not a forte..

*As Wayne Gratzky so perceptively said, albeit in a different context but hey,...*

'100% of the shots you take don't go in'

But that doesn't mean you have to stop shooting, because if 100% of the shots you take don't go in, then the living is the shooting, and its the act of shooting you have to worry about, not whether the shot goes in. Now thats an analogy for you. So, I've decided that nothing is a means to an end, because the means IS the end. i don't really know what the hell this is all about, I just seem to have realised something today: that is doesn't matter what happened in the past, and it doesn't matter what happens in the future, I have to enjoy what I have today even if theres a danger it might mess up and whack me in the face: who cares?! Because today is what its all about.

So...plan for today: stop whining, get over it, stop thinking about what might go wrong with the beautiful things you have, and appreciate that what you don't have, you don't need, because craving is the root of all suffering... in the unequivocal words of Emile Cioran,

'Negation is the mind's first freedom, yet a negative habit is fruitful only so long as we exert ourselves to overcome it, adapt it to our needs; once acquired it can imprison us.'

Sorry for my random quoteage, but I think this best illustrates my point... instead of belaboring the negative, why not embrace it? and revel in yourself when you have overcome it, because overcoming it and emerging from it a better person, may be better than it not being there at all, without overcoming the negative aspects of life, we aren't even human.

*Thus ends 'Aimee's philosophical self-debate for the day'... w00t!...*

*Favourite Quotes*

'If only I had one wish, i'd want a million trillion lifetimes that I could spend with you, to fall in love with you again and again' Kris Roe, the Ataris.

'His plan therefore was not to refuse admission to the idea, but to keep it at bay until his mind was ready to receive it. Then let it in and pulverise it. Obliterate the bastard.' Samuel Beckett, More Pricks than Kicks.

'"You're a gentleman," they used to say to him. "You shouldn't have gone murdering people with a hatchet; that's no occupation for a gentleman."' Fyodor Dostoevski, Crime and Punishment

'You need not leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. You need not even listen, simply wait, just learn to become quiet, and still, and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has no choice; it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.' Franz Kafka, Journals

'He's gotta be the tragic figure standing in the rain, mourning the loss of his beloved. So down comes the rain, right on cue.'  Mervyn Pumpkinhead, Neil Gaiman's The Sandman

'Make them laugh. They'll have a hard time shooting you.'  Program from Cirque du Soleil's Alegria

'No man can touch her, so you see, she is perfect in this amoral world' Dakuwan Re: Kagero, Ninja Scroll.

'So what's the beef? Maybe I couldn't make it... Maybe I don't know how to handle men and increase my market value, so that the rewards due to the femanine will accure to me. Then again, maybe i'm sick of the masquerade. I'm sick of belying my own intelligence, my own will, my own sex. I'm sick of peering at the world through false eyelashes, so everything I see is mixed with the shadow of bought hairs: i'm sick of weighting my head with a dead mane, unable to move my neck freely, terrified of rain, of wind, of dancing to vigorously in case I sweat into my laquered curls. I'm sick of the powder room. I'm sick of pretending that some fatuous male's self important pronouncements are the object of my undivided attention... i'm sick of being a transvestite. I refuse to be a female impersonator. I am a woman. Not a castrate.' Germaine Greer, The Female Eunuch.

'Martini? You bloody poof Bond... you'll have a pint!' Anon

'There are two things I really can't stand in this world: People who are intolerant of other people's cultures... and the Dutch.' Michael Caine, Austin Powers: Goldmember
