We were walking up a steep hill in Corralitos. It was then, at 12 midnight, that it hit me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The shadows beaming off of a street light became engulfed in magnificent shades of red and blue (and possibly green, but my vision was so blurred I couldn't make it out perfectly). I turned around 180 degrees and stared down the hill I had just ventured up. The trees in the distance formed a box, making it appear to be a tunnel entrance for a train. I stared at this for approximately 10 minutes before I explained what I was seeing to one of my friends. Though it was most definitely impossible to explain, I think I did my best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After trekking up this mighty hill, my friend had been rendered exhausted and bored, so we decided to walk down. This simple task was more beautiful than anyone could expect. The gloomy shadows looming in the sky were coated with the same colors as the street light, red, blue, and a mixture of other shades. The trees were brighter and greener than they should have been in reality. There was a fat grin on my face; I was so oblivious I was happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the bottom of the hill, we returned to my friend's front yard surrounded by trees and shrubs, as well as house lights. We stopped to stand under a wonderfully tall tree. I was uncertain of the species unfortunately. Some of its limbs stuck out longer than 12 feet, and they were naked and spiky. Rough. But the skin on my hands did not mind at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other person I was with was fixated on these branches. One she clung onto like a sloth and marveled at its construction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;It's like a hook you guys!&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friend and I just let her be. We had no comment. As we stood under the tree conversing, our friend stayed attached to the tree she was obviously in love with. I do not remember our conversations, but I'm sure they were not of the utmost importance. Every once in awhile, our friend would stop to say something like,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;When I talk, it feels like colors are flowing out of my mouth!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, we ignored her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm being modest when I say that we, excluding myself, were all out of control. With high pitched, high volume voices, I suggested we go back inside the house so as not to disrupt everyone in the fucking neighborhood. My friends agreed, so we left our tree and ventured back into the house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a good fucking night.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1993748528601352657-1247845376546742581?l=thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/feeds/1247845376546742581/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/2010/02/l.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1993748528601352657/posts/default/1247845376546742581'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1993748528601352657/posts/default/1247845376546742581'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/2010/02/l.html' title='L.'/><author><name>The Dear Hunter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13506474341351973411</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rSxtKIX2io/SbdBlNe2yII/AAAAAAAAAAw/QoRQuCHd2CE/S220/Josh+73.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993748528601352657.post-2702642898712768693</id><published>2010-02-23T09:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-23T09:46:47.856-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Alone.</title><content type='html'>Karl is 16.

The younger woman was holding arms with the old man (her dad?), and all three of them were walking side by side at the same pace. They must have been doing at least .2 mph, and I honestly have no idea why they didn't get pulled over*.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason I decided to write about this is because it was one of the cutest things I have noticed in awhile. The younger woman was walking with both the old man and woman at the same pace as them, and she was not annoyed one bit. She enjoyed walking her old parents, and she was not bothered by their slow pace. I think that is genuine love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* That was a joke.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1993748528601352657-4704338153394533474?l=thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/feeds/4704338153394533474/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/2010/02/sloww.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1993748528601352657/posts/default/4704338153394533474'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1993748528601352657/posts/default/4704338153394533474'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/2010/02/sloww.html' title='Sloww.'/><author><name>The Dear Hunter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13506474341351973411</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rSxtKIX2io/SbdBlNe2yII/AAAAAAAAAAw/QoRQuCHd2CE/S220/Josh+73.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993748528601352657.post-5605575920777299839</id><published>2010-02-04T10:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-05T11:43:58.849-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Jesus Fucking Christ/Sleepless Nights</title><content type='html'>We don't breathe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;through dust.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The breath&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;breathes us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We destroy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;what we create.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the start,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;you bred my hate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I hope&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;you fucking hate yours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Death&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;is all around us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Sathan's&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;keeping score.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ring&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;around my finger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Represents&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the noose around my neck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tight tied&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;with lengths of hope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the fucking end&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OF&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ME&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AND&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FUCKING&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YOU.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1993748528601352657-5605575920777299839?l=thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/feeds/5605575920777299839/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/2010/02/jesus-fucking-christsleepless-nights.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1993748528601352657/posts/default/5605575920777299839'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1993748528601352657/posts/default/5605575920777299839'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/2010/02/jesus-fucking-christsleepless-nights.html' title='Jesus Fucking Christ/Sleepless Nights'/><author><name>The Dear Hunter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13506474341351973411</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rSxtKIX2io/SbdBlNe2yII/AAAAAAAAAAw/QoRQuCHd2CE/S220/Josh+73.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993748528601352657.post-8984794556383988019</id><published>2010-01-28T14:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-28T14:25:52.567-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Rain.

I want it to be warm and sunnyblahblahblahblahBLAH!" Buncha baby-back bitches. I personally love the rain. I love the way it adds a layer of dampness to everything it touches. I love the way the rain clouds block the sun, creating a gloomy, depressing setting. I love the way the ground shines when it's wet. I love the ripples in small puddles created by the rain.

We all ride the 8:22 71 from Cabrillo into Santa Cruz, and every day I take this bus (Monday-Friday) there is an obviously mentally disabled citizen on said bus. He is short, not fit (but not overweight), obsessive, and compulsive. He has a few quirks I have caught onto. One of these interesting acts include the tugging of his ear (very violently, I might add) while yelling gibberish at thin air. Sometimes I would like to believe that these words can be found in the English dictionary, but I have yet to translate them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing about him I have noticed is that he stares at females. At first, I was trying not to judge him too harshly as a pervert, but I began to easily notice that every time he stares, he stares at women. The other times he's looking is when he's frantically looking around, which brings me to his second quirk:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Often after tugging his ears and shouting at an obnoxious level, he will unlatch the grip from his ears and swiftly turn his head from one side to the other. There is not much I can say about this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every day he rides the bus, he gets off at the same stop (Soquel and 41st), and he walks right a few paces to the lot of a Smog Station. He bends over the pebble paved ground and picks up a single pebble, every time. He just stares at it, and before he is done inspecting this pebble, my bus continues forward, so I am sadly not able to see what his next moves are or where he goes for that matter. One day I will take this bus for the sole purpose of finding out what this man does. I will get off at his stop and figure it out from there. I am not a stalker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something I found interesting yesterday while I was watching this man on the bus was that he was drawing something on the window. It was raining, so it allowed him to do this with ease. When he got off at his stop, unblocking the area of window he was drawing on, I saw a frowning face with fat, beady eyes and a thick frown. As the bus driver began to hit the gas, rain drops slid down from the eyes of this sad face, making it appear like it was crying. It made me think &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Maybe this man is depressed&lt;/span&gt;, and that saddened me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More on this exciting story sometime in the near future.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1993748528601352657-990001612189238760?l=thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/feeds/990001612189238760/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/2010/01/man-on-bus.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1993748528601352657/posts/default/990001612189238760'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1993748528601352657/posts/default/990001612189238760'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/2010/01/man-on-bus.html' title='The man on the bus.'/><author><name>The Dear Hunter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13506474341351973411</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rSxtKIX2io/SbdBlNe2yII/AAAAAAAAAAw/QoRQuCHd2CE/S220/Josh+73.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993748528601352657.post-1172832667929972755</id><published>2010-01-22T19:19:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-22T19:19:09.917-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>I can feel it in my veins.

You know when nothing came with pressure attached? When you're friends, there's no stress. There's no pressure. It's just life, plain and simple, the way it was supposed to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But in relationships it's different. And it doesn't even have to be different. So why is it? Because our society says so? Fuck that. I mean, I don't label myself a nonconformist or anything fucking stupid like that, but come on, relationships are the same thing as friendships with the exception that you can be 'in love' and you can be sexual. It doesn't have to be different. That only complicates things. That's what makes kids think relationships are pointless and stressful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If only we didn't listen. If only we did things our way. Then I could be happy, but I will only be let down. Every day of my fucking life. You could fix this, but you don't.

One to suicide, the other drug abuse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This has not only sent my life into a spiraling depression, thought I was already there, it has taught me a couple things. Both of the two things are very obvious, and it's easy to see anyone would learn this from these events, but they are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. I will never abuse drugs. After seeing what my friend Jacob had been doing (experimental with multiple illegal drugs), I intend to stay away from drugs completely. I have been doing that already though. I just know now that I will not in the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Suicide is completely and utterly selfish. I understand that those who commit suicide have their reasons, and I know for a fact my friend did, but it hurts everyone around them incredibly. I know I am hurt, and his family must bear my pain tenfold. I'm sure they take in consideration that it will hurt their friends and family, so why then do they kill themselves? Maybe it's because they know it's in their best interest, and we will just get over it in time (which I believe is true). Maybe it's because we will know he is in a better place, no longer suffering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Either way, I am hurt. I am depressed. I am done.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1993748528601352657-2748345570866992881?l=thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/feeds/2748345570866992881/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/2010/01/woe-is-me-im-having-problems.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1993748528601352657/posts/default/2748345570866992881'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1993748528601352657/posts/default/2748345570866992881'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/2010/01/woe-is-me-im-having-problems.html' title='Woe is me; I&apos;m having problems.'/><author><name>The Dear Hunter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13506474341351973411</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rSxtKIX2io/SbdBlNe2yII/AAAAAAAAAAw/QoRQuCHd2CE/S220/Josh+73.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993748528601352657.post-7521632899448973759</id><published>2010-01-10T22:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-10T22:24:47.293-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>If God exists, cats were his greatest creation. Capable of love, compassion, loyalty, and hate, they are what humans would be if they were cute and unable to talk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have two cats, brother and sister; their names are Gish and Luna. Gish after the Smashing Pumpkins' debut album, and Luna after the track 'Luna' off of the Smashing Pumpkins' album 'Siamese Dream'. This may lead you to think that the Smashing Pumpkins are my favorite band or something, but that is not so. I just happened to dig both the words 'Gish' and 'Luna' which were both coincidentally related to the Smashing Pumpkins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under my post 'Happy?' is a picture of my male cat, Gish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back on topic, cats are the best animals ever. I have heard the term 'Dogs are man's best friend', and I completely disagree because big dogs may be cute at times, but they are too big to be as cute as a cat, and small dogs are just fucking ugly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In short, cats are perfect because no matter what size, they are never too big. There is no such thing as an ugly fat cat. In fact, fat cats are even more cute than normal sized ones (depending on their quirks, that is).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cat lovers, rejoice.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1993748528601352657-7521632899448973759?l=thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/feeds/7521632899448973759/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/2010/01/if-god-exists-cats-were-his-greatest.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1993748528601352657/posts/default/7521632899448973759'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1993748528601352657/posts/default/7521632899448973759'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/2010/01/if-god-exists-cats-were-his-greatest.html' title=''/><author><name>The Dear Hunter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13506474341351973411</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rSxtKIX2io/SbdBlNe2yII/AAAAAAAAAAw/QoRQuCHd2CE/S220/Josh+73.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993748528601352657.post-526072496396294264</id><published>2010-01-08T15:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-08T15:28:45.207-08:00</updated><title type='text'>As Above/So Below</title><content type='html'>They don't want you, and they don't care.&lt;br /&gt;Just a group of compassionless clouds.&lt;br /&gt;And all they see is a cold, blank stare.&lt;br /&gt;Waiting for you to come around.&lt;br /&gt;But nobody loves them like we love you.&lt;br /&gt;Won't you belong right here with us?&lt;br /&gt;Stay where you're welcome.

By this I mean I am not happy. You could say my depression is caused by the lack of seratonin in my brain, but I would like to believe it is being cause by a series of events. Towards the end of November around Thanksgiving (in fact, while I was on Thanksgiving break in Santa Barbara), I received an email from my old Elementary School friend's mom dated early August 2006 that stated that my friend had killed himself due to his current living situation. He was poor, his dad ran away, and he was very depressed. This was definitely the beginning of my depression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It got me to thinking about suicide and how selfish it is. Do they realize how much they are hurting their friends? Their family members? Do they even take it into consideration? As suicidal as I am in my current state of passive suicidal ideation, I do not even consider suicide because I know how much it would effect those around me. I am compassionate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And as if my old friend's suicide wasn't enough to send my life into a spiral of depression, more events arise. Due to the most certain lack of seratonin in my brain, I know these 'events' are just bull shit. I am only depressed for depression's sake, and I hate it. There is no reason for me to be depressed anymore. I just simply am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have this theory that things will get better.&lt;br /&gt;We both have low levels of seratonin.&lt;br /&gt;But baby, our oxytocin is high.&lt;br /&gt;And when we overcome this depression.&lt;br /&gt;We will be happy.

I generally tend to look around a lot, but I am always looking through objects, never at them. Never thinking about them. I do this because I am sad. I can no longer see the beauty in the small things that matter. All I see is sadness. Darkness. Emptiness. This brought me to begin actually observing my surroundings and not just looking through them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Day 1:&lt;br /&gt;This will take some getting used to. I am in the pattern of looking through things and when I do this my thoughts just drift. I don't come back to reality for awhile, and when I do, I realize I have only been looking through things. Eventually I will get in the habit of paying attention. Thinking about what is physically in front of and around me. God help me...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Day 2:&lt;br /&gt;Things are still tough. I am sort of in between dimensions now. Every once in awhile I will look through some things, and other times I will begin to observe them for what they really are. I suppose you could call this a step towards success though I am not liking what I see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Day 3:&lt;br /&gt;I am seeing a pattern here. As days go by, I am slowly beginning to toss out my old habit of seeing through objects and picking up a new habit of studying them. So far my hypothesis proves correct. As I begin to study my surroundings a bit more, I am disgusted. I see tobacco smoke floating into the air. Graceful as it may be, it is blackening your lungs, it is blackening your children's lungs, it is blackening your beautiful planet's surface. You can see your cancer growing bigger and bigger inside of you. You are not phased. I am. I now see the truth. I can see the lack of compassion in humans. Humans now disgust me. I do not want to be around any of them. They are selfish, greedy, and unforgiving. I want to cut myself loose from this society. I think at this point I would rather be alone than have to submit myself to be around these depressing human beings forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Day 4:&lt;br /&gt;What have I done to myself? Before I was only sad, but I could manage. At least for the time being. At the rate of which my happiness was dropping, I would soon go insane. But now I am sick. I am isolated. I am far more depressed than I previously was. I say mission failure. I want to go back. I don't want to see through these eyes anymore. I must begin my transformation back to my old habit. I want to look through things again. I want to be oblivious. I want to be weightless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take this weight off my shoulders.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1993748528601352657-6951328906784108249?l=thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/feeds/6951328906784108249/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/2009/12/observance.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1993748528601352657/posts/default/6951328906784108249'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1993748528601352657/posts/default/6951328906784108249'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/2009/12/observance.html' title='Observance.'/><author><name>The Dear Hunter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13506474341351973411</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rSxtKIX2io/SbdBlNe2yII/AAAAAAAAAAw/QoRQuCHd2CE/S220/Josh+73.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993748528601352657.post-7532297951888440911</id><published>2009-12-26T13:09:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-26T13:24:21.446-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Life, death, and life after death.</title><content type='html'>Life:&lt;br /&gt;All I know is that I know nothing. We serve no purpose but to entertain ourselves. I believe I have found the meaning of life, and that is to solely find what makes us as individuals happy. We live for the things that make us want to live. But what if we can't find something to live for? That question is all around me. I have nothing to live for. Nothing makes me happy anymore. I am constantly depressed and nothing can bring me up. There used to be things I could resort to in times of sadness, but those things no longer exist. They exist, but they no longer make me happy. If I do not find anything to live for soon, my life as I know it may come to an end. Which brings me to our second topic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Death:&lt;br /&gt;As previously stated, I no longer wish to live. I would be satisfied to not walk this earth any longer. In fact, I would prefer that over living. Over suffering, for that is my current state. I am fucking suffering. I have always wondered what it is like to die, ever since I was a young boy. Even when I was happy and content with my life I was fascinated by death. This fascination only gives me more motivation to not live. It's kind of a win-win situation for me: I get to die and discover what it is like to die. I love you more than death, but I need death more than you. And what will become of my corpse, my soul, when I am dead? This brings me to the third and final topic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life after death:&lt;br /&gt;In the beginning of the year 2006, I often contemplated the thought of life after death, and I came up with many theories.&lt;br /&gt;- You are dead. Your corpse is buried six feet under the ground. Maggots eat away at your decaying flesh. You have no thoughts. Your mind is blank.&lt;br /&gt;- If there is Heaven or Hell after life, then it would make sense that "monsters" walked this earth. I have seen no such thing, and until I do, I will not believe in Heaven or Hell.&lt;br /&gt;Those are my two basic theories, but if "anything can happen", then I guess I will just have to test that theory myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On an ending note:&lt;br /&gt;Cry me a fucking river, bitch.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1993748528601352657-7532297951888440911?l=thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/feeds/7532297951888440911/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/2009/12/life-death-and-life-after-death.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1993748528601352657/posts/default/7532297951888440911'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1993748528601352657/posts/default/7532297951888440911'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/2009/12/life-death-and-life-after-death.html' title='Life, death, and life after death.'/><author><name>The Dear Hunter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13506474341351973411</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rSxtKIX2io/SbdBlNe2yII/AAAAAAAAAAw/QoRQuCHd2CE/S220/Josh+73.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993748528601352657.post-2114106499420778967</id><published>2009-12-25T11:35:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-25T11:35:35.508-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy fucking Christmas</title><content type='html'>everybody.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1993748528601352657-2114106499420778967?l=thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/feeds/2114106499420778967/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/2009/12/happy-fucking-christmas.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1993748528601352657/posts/default/2114106499420778967'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1993748528601352657/posts/default/2114106499420778967'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/2009/12/happy-fucking-christmas.html' title='Happy fucking Christmas'/><author><name>The Dear Hunter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13506474341351973411</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rSxtKIX2io/SbdBlNe2yII/AAAAAAAAAAw/QoRQuCHd2CE/S220/Josh+73.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993748528601352657.post-2122481565762608149</id><published>2009-12-24T19:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-24T19:37:46.801-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Love spirals downwards.</title><content type='html'>Every time I see your face, my heart melts. For better or for worse I do not know. What I do know is that my mind is its own and too intelligent for even me to understand it. I guess the mystery of my life will always be, "What the fuck am I thinking?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Currently I am trying to decide if the sharp pain attacking my heart is due to happiness or sadness. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe it burns because your beauty is too powerful for any eyes. A look in any direction will send the eyes and brain spinning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the pain, what is this pain? Why is this pain in existence? My mind is on its own at this point. It could be because I miss you. It could be because I don't deserve you. It could be because I know how this is going to end, but whatever the cause of this pain is, it is not going away, and it will never go away. It never does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love will always spiral downwards.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1993748528601352657-2122481565762608149?l=thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/feeds/2122481565762608149/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/2009/12/love-spirals-downwards.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1993748528601352657/posts/default/2122481565762608149'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1993748528601352657/posts/default/2122481565762608149'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/2009/12/love-spirals-downwards.html' title='Love spirals downwards.'/><author><name>The Dear Hunter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13506474341351973411</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rSxtKIX2io/SbdBlNe2yII/AAAAAAAAAAw/QoRQuCHd2CE/S220/Josh+73.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993748528601352657.post-8600917225652158008</id><published>2009-12-24T10:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-24T10:22:59.430-08:00</updated><title type='text'>All that's left.</title><content type='html'>All that's left in my heart is anger and depression.&lt;br /&gt;You lost the trust.&lt;br /&gt;You lost the love.&lt;br /&gt;You lost the commitment.&lt;br /&gt;All because you couldn't give any back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tried.&lt;br /&gt;I pushed.&lt;br /&gt;I strived.&lt;br /&gt;Only to be let down.&lt;br /&gt;Only to get my face shoved in the dirt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I promised myself this would be the last if it didn't last.&lt;br /&gt;It didn't.

Sometimes I have a hard time understanding it. A hard time finding it. A hard time feeling it. Is it simply feeling and showing affection towards someone you care for? Because that does not seem like enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love is being able to connect through absolute silence.&lt;br /&gt;Love is getting lost in the eyes of endearment and never wanting out.&lt;br /&gt;Love is devoting yourself entirely to a singular person.&lt;br /&gt;Love is passionate and rare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though I consider myself to know what love is, why then am I questioning it? Is it because I am uncertain I have found it? Is it because love has no definition and simply is? If that is the case, then I guess love will just have to find me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But lo, what have I stumbled upon? In this beautiful city of Santa Cruz, California resides love in multiple places.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have I found it? Has it found me? These are questions I ask rarely for I am a man with definition. Questions I ponder more frequently tend to be: Is it 'too soon'? Does 'too soon' even exist? Should 'too soon' stop me from proclaiming my love? Whether or not the answers to these questions are in my favor, my love will have to wait for I am a coward. Fear is holding me back from shedding my love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this be true or not true I do not care. I will wait, for a sacrifice shan't be made today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am in love.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1993748528601352657-1701695566109173397?l=thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/feeds/1701695566109173397/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/2009/12/i-am-in-love.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1993748528601352657/posts/default/1701695566109173397'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1993748528601352657/posts/default/1701695566109173397'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/2009/12/i-am-in-love.html' title='I am in love.'/><author><name>The Dear Hunter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13506474341351973411</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rSxtKIX2io/SbdBlNe2yII/AAAAAAAAAAw/QoRQuCHd2CE/S220/Josh+73.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993748528601352657.post-9109412035436037119</id><published>2009-12-21T11:14:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-21T11:15:36.162-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/7462/humorkidandhead.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left;

As smoke whirls up into the sky, it descends down into him. Neither you nor him wants to know his name, so we will call him Untitled. He closes his eyes and visualizes his lungs growing darker and darker, as his thoughts. He is now his lungs. Inhaling, exhaling, inhaling, exhaling. A pattern without thought that comes naturally. It does not need reminding, and it does not need an alarm. His cat watches him behind floating glass, learning from the master. As the lines grow shorter, so does his patience. He watches the paper, burning white to red to black, folding back. What patience, what loyalty possesses this cat. He will wait. The last line is burnt, and the smoke comes to a halt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Untitled opens the door into his apartment and his cat runs out just as soon as he walks in. He enters only to leave through the front door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a nice summer day in the month of December, year 1994. The sun is shining and the animals ring aloud their songs of happiness. Untitled is not happy. Having shunned himself from society as his own decision, he walks slowly to the nearest park, his shoes producing depressing sighs. It is at this park he is reunited with his green, rotting bench. He takes a seat and begins to think. Interrupting his thoughts is a polite, white, fit, politically correct New York citizen who noticed him sitting by himself. He wants to join him. The stranger introduces himself as John, but our static character does not care and does not listen, in turn missing his name. He says nothing, but John is willing to make small talk with a statue. Disgusted, Untitled finally begins to retort, hoping his statements of depression and sadness will render John bored. Luckily, this is the truth and Untitled begins to make a space for depression in John's mind. He tells him of the uselessness of mankind, of the multiple reasons there are not to live, and why there is nothing to live for. Now both Untitled and John sit on this rotting bench, watching with a disgusted face as time passes by. Untitled, having spread his depression, is satisfied. He stands up and begins to walk away. John calls out to him, asks him where he's going, what is to happen with their relationship. Untitled simply replies, "This is what is going to happen. I will walk away, never to see you again, and you will continue to live your life, without me, but with the lessons I have taught you, and if you have learned correctly, you will kill yourself just as I have."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John watches for a few minutes as Untitled walks slowly out of the picture. He sits on the bench contemplating the conversation he had with this wise stranger. After thinking for a few hours or so, after wrapping his mind around itself multiple times, he untangles it and decides what he must do. He must spread the lessons he has learned to the world one pathetic human at a time. He stands up from the bench, stretches his legs, and begins to troll around the park, looking for someone sitting alone to converse with. It is dark now, and John wonders what anyone would be doing alone at a park this time of day, but sure enough he spots a young man sitting alone, feeding a few ducks that have waddled away from their pond for a midnight snack. John sits down beside him and introduces himself. The man is very polite and returns his name, Heiden. John is now thinking of how to teach Heiden of the lessons he has learned today but has trouble weaving them into their conversation. Displeased with his progress, John simply decides to change the subject. He begins to tell Heiden of the depression this world is filled with, but Heiden's face is blank and his eyes are glossed over. He is not interested and most certainly does not agree. Heiden asks John, "Why do you think of things like this? You should live in the moment, live for the things you have, for the things you care for." This simple statement makes John realize that he can no longer agree with the stranger he met earlier today for John has things to live for whereas the stranger probably did not. That is what caused his depression. John knows now that there are reasons for him to thrive and be happy. John excuses himself, politely says goodbye to Heiden, and walks back to his filthy, rotting bench. He now compares the opinions of Heiden and the stranger and realizes that he believes in neither of them. He is just a tool who cannot think for himself. Depressed, he sits on his bench and stares past the moon, past the stars, past the sky. He lets his mind wander. Breaking his fixation is Heiden declaring he is making his leave from the park. He only has one thing to say as he strolls off, "You are not a tool because you cannot think for yourself. You cannot think for yourself because you are a tool."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perplexed by all the lessons and philosophies John has been handed today, his soul morphs into a butterfly and drifts away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John's soul, now a beautiful Monarch butterfly, begins to fly throughout the city, enjoying every site there is to see. It carefully listens to the sounds every object makes, the odor every object gives off, and every beauty that lies beneath the flesh. Crossing a street, John's soul is struck by an SUV and pronounced dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perfect.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Boredom controlled my mind. I quickly wrapped my fingers around the flower and yanked it out of the ground. I slowly ripped out each of the pedals, letting each one dance to the cement floor with grace. I watched as a whitish fluid ran from the flower’s bottom. I had nearly ripped every pedal off of the lovely flower when I heard a bell ring, signaling my leave for biology. I dropped the flower to the floor and left for class.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:times new roman;" &gt;    I just stood there, leaning where the wind told me. Something was approaching. As they walked steadily towards me, my heart raced faster and faster. They wrapped their gigantic fingers around my waist and yanked me out of the ground. I screamed in agony. Torture. They placed their forefinger and thumb on one of my blood red pedals. I begged for peace, but none came. They then ripped off the first pedal, dropping it to the gray cement without a care in the world. Blood was dripping from the bottom of my stem, splattering onto the ground, then slowly seeping into the dirt-filled cracks. They did not cease the ripping. One by one my pedals disappeared to the floor as my silent shrieks filled the air. They paused; fingers on another one of my pedals. Could this be the end of my torture? The human dropped me, watching as I danced to the ground. I felt a snap in my back as I hit. The human left me there, to suffer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

I think I’ll have some on a silver platter tonight. Just for dessert.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stohn, for the life of him, cannot find his mind. He always misplaces it. Behind the sink, in the cat, beyond conclusions. Where is it, Stohn? I think I see it, over yonder. Watch him run. Past the streetlamps, cars, and snails that like to be crushed. He stumbles, and his mind bounces away, but only a piece. A peace.&lt;br /&gt;That was a good sleep. Probably the best tasting in years. Let’s ponder; shall we, Jesus?&lt;br /&gt;It bounces, like a plastic bag, floating in the wet cement. There it went Stohn, through a grate by the subway. You better catch up, before it’s too late. Before you lose your mind. Stohn runs. His body swiftly turns to a salty mist and floats gracefully, full of grace, through the rusty grate, of which my delectable toenails like to fall through on Sundays. He runs down stairs. Lots of stairs. Lots of greasy, fattening stairs. He sees his mind. It’s catching a tram to the nearest thought. He runs passed the hobos, passed the pretty ugly musicians ringing aloud their songs of death and joy. And how Stohn loves those songs. How they reel around in his mind like Smiths and the fountain. He reaches the tram in time to catch the same thought as his mind.&lt;br /&gt;Jesus, why am I eating cereal? I hate cereal. It’s a Tuesday. Why did God have to make it a Tuesday today. I like the Wednesdays better. They serve the dreams faster that day. So they make it to me piping hot. They taste better hot.&lt;br /&gt;Stohn has had a pleasant chat with his mind over the passed few minutes. But oh no, how I must always break the bad news. That’s not your mind Stohn. It’s not? By golly, no, it belongs to a person less significant to you. A person of little belonging to this filthy world, which is why I am pausing from your search to take a while to talk about him. You see Stohn, this is no ordinary tram. Maybe it would be on a Wednesday, but today is no Wednesday. It’s a Tuesday. And everybody, even those less significant, know that Tuesdays on the tram is a day for a meeting of minds. A meeting of minds? Yes, a day in which minds meet. It is indubitably a challenging puzzle, but of course, every puzzle, has an answer.&lt;br /&gt;Damn it God. I officially decree that Tuesdays suck eggs. No piping hot dreams, a meeting of minds in which I lose mine, and a dead cat floating above my head with a deranged look in its eye, but only the left eye mind you. Wait, replace the cat with a moose and it becomes reality.&lt;br /&gt;Milk, eggs, and toast for breakfast. I can slot you in the Tuesday of next year’s year. Hi citizen of internetland! How may I be of some service two you. “How old are you Stohn?”&lt;br /&gt;“Well, in two years, I will be twice as old as my non-existent brother when he has his third birthday of the year in the year of ZXC?2000. Does that answer your question?”&lt;br /&gt;“No. L My math teacher made us do these problems in school, but I never paid attention to them because I assumed I would never come across a problem like this, but now that I have, I am not in the know of how to solve it.”&lt;br /&gt;“Silly squash dork, you have my mind. Give it back.”&lt;br /&gt;It was then that Stohn shoved his arm down the citizen’s throat, releasing his grease monkeys to retrieve the mind that rightfully belonged to him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sleep is good…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1993748528601352657-1343414058243979314?l=thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/feeds/1343414058243979314/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/2009/03/sleep-is-good_10.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1993748528601352657/posts/default/1343414058243979314'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1993748528601352657/posts/default/1343414058243979314'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedeathandthebirth.blogspot.com/2009/03/sleep-is-good_10.html' title='Sleep Is Good'/><author><name>The Dear Hunter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13506474341351973411</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rSxtKIX2io/SbdBlNe2yII/AAAAAAAAAAw/QoRQuCHd2CE/S220/Josh+73.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993748528601352657.post-5140107603979566658</id><published>2009-03-10T22:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-10T22:27:40.704-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Rules of the Sky</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;It is in my sock that this story starts. In the town of Thread Ville to be more precise. In this town lived a Thread named Frankle. Now Frankle is not of the ordinary Threads. He likes to think outside of the box. On the “U” if you will. Those Threads like to play, Frankle likes to invent. The Threads like to fly. Frankle likes to read. You see, Frankle finds no point in flying, for there is always a limit. There are “Rules of the Sky” that were meant to be followed, and if they weren’t followed, then the sentence was death. Frankle assumes that a simple screw up could get him executed, so he plays it safer than sorry. And this becomes the downfall of Frankle’s life. He decides to do some research.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Within his research, Frankle discovers something far beyond any other Thread’s imagination, far beyond anything’s expectation. For what Frankle discovered, was that of another world, set aside and believed to be a myth, but Frankle knows better than to be fooled by other’s beliefs. He likes to think for himself. It was then that Frankle decided he must leave the bore of Thread Ville, to journey to the outside world, where he could fly freely, and do as he pleases without execution.&lt;br /&gt;After gathering all his adventure equipment for his journey, he packs into a velvet handbag a journal, beaten and bruised from any old wear and tear, and his golden magical toothbrush received from the King himself as an award for his genius. And out on his journey Frankle ventured…&lt;br /&gt;… now; Frankle’s journey begins at the outskirts of town where he is waved goodbye to by all his fellow Threads. After saying his farewells to nearly every Thread personally, he is ready to make leave. As his cab slowly arrives, it’s yellow paint coating shimmering in the sun, the sun sets on his magnificent start, and he knows he must make as much progress towards Jesus Land as possible, so as to not run into much trouble. The cab reaches him, halting to a stop as the rubber tires spray up dirt into his personal bubble. He says one last goodbye to all, reaches his hand out and grabs the handle of the metallic door, pulls it softly until hearing the slightest clicking noise, then hops in, his belongings first, and the cab drives off, off into the orange sunset, towards Frankle’s destiny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Dear Journal,&lt;br /&gt;              It appears this is my first entry in quite awhile. Sorry I haven’t had time to chat. I have decided to journey to the outside land, known as Jesus Land to many. I have decided this, for I am aggravated at my limitations to everything in Thread Ville. I will journey there, to fly! To fly where there is no rules, where there is no invisible lines.&lt;br /&gt;As Frankle completed his journal entry, the cab came to a halt, Frankle lifting his pen up and shutting his journal just in time to not unintentionally ruin the last letter of the last word. The driver seemed to have been quiet during the entire drive towards the edge of the Sock.
