Things you own.

Hunger.

To consume another life is to live

To refuse to kill another life is to die

Why were u put here on this earth?

To kill, and to live.

Survival is the name of the game.

You cannot refuse the cycle of suffering.

Your existence has already been decided

So stop complaining and deal with it.

Beside you.

What if everything you have ever known is all in your head. The entire universe remains an extension of your mind. In fact, how are you so sure that anything else ever existed in the first place other than your self? You will never be able to prove that anything is real, or at least not in this lifetime.

Technically, emotions are constant bursts of chemical reactions within the component of your biological composition, and interaction within the physical realm triggers the production of such substances from the various receptors in your brain. This process may be controlled by the power of the conscious self, with enough practice and persistence. Thus encouraging the expansion of an appealing emotion and stunting the progress of unwanted emotion.

Eternal Happiness.

To evolve into a higher quality of being altogether, to refuse the natural order of things which is cruelty and selfishness. To decrease the volume of suffering and pain that seeps into forthcoming paths. To enjoy the colour of emptiness in silence and peace. Only a handful of individuals have found such enlightenment.

Just remember that anger, depression, fear and envy are pointless but habitual expressions that we all experience sooner or later. So pay no attention to things that don’t matter and continue living your life without any regrets.

What an interesting era it is. Where the rate of technological development is at it’s highest peak, an overflow of information shrouds the world with confusion and deception. Our forefathers of a thousand years past would not be able to comprehend the progress of which we have succumbed to. We have created a different dimension of complex cybernetic technicality, connecting with each other from all around the world to share millions of thoughts, opinions and personalities. Shiny gadgets, flashy cars, rapid communication, strange experiments and endless corruption all revolving around a materialistic system of a society so powerful, yet so lost.

Humans have been implementing the methods of selective breeding for a long time now. Dogs were practically forced into becoming smaller, cuter, and funnier through artificial evolution. They don’t even look like dogs anymore, we have created a different creature altogether and categorized them as “toys”. The concept of genetic engineering is profound, fascinating, funny and sadistic all at the same time.

Selective Breeding has been implemented into the genetic structure of cows to control the natural development of general growth and increase the muscle quantity rate by double times the normal rate:

Resting After Contest.

The Boxer of Quirinal, resting after contest, His nose is broken and his face is covered extensively in scars. His left ear is permanently mutilated into the cauliflower position due to repeated blows from opponents. He wears leather straps sealed with metal studs to enhance the knockout effect of his punches. Back then in Greece, participants fought to the death and without any general protection. Inflicted damage was eventually inevitable and fused into the general appearance of a seasoned boxer. This particular survivor of the brutal sport, bears the classic trademarks of his specialty. It is the most intriguing statue I have ever come across. Personally he stands as a symbolic representation of my simplistic life philosophy: “When you fall, you get back up, you keep going and you don’t stop.”

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

I really loved the soundtrack for this movie, and i think it has to be the most believable romantic film i’ve ever seen. The style of the whole project and the colour of the whole production is really unique, it sends out a very nostalgic sort of vibe and the storyline was good too. I watched it a long time ago but I just recently grew infatuated with the music for the film. Whenever i’m feeling really bleak and grey, I listen to this and it takes me to a place in my head where I can just relax.

Empty Shadows.

He died alone, starved to death on the pavement in a cold alleyway. His big scruffy beard and worn out clothes, with eyes the colour of submission. He must have had a life back then, but lost it somewhere along the way.

No one will notice his stiff body hidden behind the thick fog of the streets. No one ever really noticed him anyway, he was sleep walking his whole life through. Not that he wanted to, it just turned out that way.

He was a good clean boy, soft spoken and shy, never broke any rules and never threw any tantrums, but he never really had any friends just people he met along the way, he never really had any fun because he didn’t really know how. He didn’t really do well in his studies because he never really found it too interesting, he never really excelled in his job because he didn’t really like it. He never really had a purpose in his life and he never really understood why, for a moment he was looking for something more to his existence. He did not find it and eventually he started to fade away, slowly fusing within the confines of the city walls.

This is the empty shell of a broken man, and he is not the only one. Millions of lost shadows desperately wander the earth . Struggling so hard for a better life, trying so hard to be noticed, but most of them will disappear into nothingness towards the end. They are all around you. You walk past them on the street, or in a crowd. You cannot see them because they are invisible. You cannot feel them because you don’t want to, and you cannot hear them because their words have no more meaning, or maybe your just not listening.

These 2 songs should set the mood, lolz:

101

In the ring, your not a successful millionaire or a struggling cab driver, your not black, white, brown or yellow. Your not a liberal, socialist, communist or anarchist. Your not buddhist, christian, muslim or hindu. You are a fighter, about to practice one of the most ancient sports known to mankind. So get on with it and put your dukes up.

Cold Outside.

What makes you think you are real? Is it the fact that you live a life? Go to school, get married, have kids, and in the end your left with a feeling of hollowness in the core of your soul that never seems to stay away for too long.

A generation of millions. A civilization of zombies. Nobody knows exactly what they are doing, where they are going, or what they are feeling. Is that a bad thing? Why should it be? There’s nothing wrong with the way you are now is there? This moment is perfect, whether you decide to realize it or not.

Pain and pleasure are one of the same. Time and time again you will forget that you are awake, but this life is a dream anyway and that clock on the wall doesn’t control your destiny, or the emotions you portray as failure proves inevitable. Don’t be afraid to fall to your knees, and don’t forget to smile at the sky before the end comes, there is no point in screaming if you knew it was going to happen. You will see me again but we will never meet each other, aeons pass by and stars turn to dust, the empty space whispers a million years of wasted chances.

Wandering around.

In this place

There are no words

Only the trees swaying in the wind

Only the grass singing to the breeze

and I did not see you

but there is just me

walking these endless fields of green

A sacred emptiness

It feels so strange

Yet so familiar

I indulge in silence

and fade away

Into a misty plane

Of timeless dreams.
