Romantic expressions

The three most romantic expressions I heard

   The three most romantic expressions I have ever heard are “You are so good looking and I’m proud to have you as my boyfriend”, “You are the most special person to me”, and “You give me those fuzzy feelings”. The simple things that you usually expect from every relationship, but to me it’s these small things that I treasure the most, I may not be able to remember but hey that’s life and humans are very forgetful. Before, hearing these things was very strange to me, because I had never heard them very often in the past.  But now these are expressions that I have grown to love and I know that they are a sign of a person’s affection for me. The problem for me is that I’m not all the most romantic of people. I find it hard for me to express my feelings verbally nowadays, just because I have nothing to say, I can’t find the right words to say exactly what I mean and the only way I can find those words is if I sit and thinking about it for many hours on end. 

My favorite dish is Fugu

My favorite dish is Fugu

     Fugu is a rare delicacy found in Japan. It is the notoriously poisonous puffer fish. Yes people do actually eat these dangerous fish and the reason why I love it so much is because it is a very daring food to eat and its sort of a rush because you never know if the fish you are eating is going to kill you or not. That is the catch to eating the fish, because even a microscopic drop of the fish’s blood will kill you in a matter of seconds. Also not anyone can just catch this fish and cut it up. A government license mush be issued before you can even handle the fish because it’s so dangerous. It feels like you are a high official being served by the most well trained and qualified person. The down side is, the dish is very expensive and you have to call in advance because it takes a really long time to prepare (besides the fact you might die).

    Firstly, one must go and catch the first, even for that you need a special license and you need to do certain things to make sure the fish don’t die (such as cutting the fish’s teeth so they don’t kill each other).

    Then it must be taken to the world’s most prestigious fish market in Japan to be bought and taken to a local restaurant.

     Once it is in the tank at the restaurant, a customer calls in advance and the expert chef begins to prepare the fish. First by hitting the fish on the head, but only to stun it, he then proceeds to cut open the fish being careful not to puncture any of the organs (where the most poison is). He then takes out all of the insides and expertly removes the eyes, all of these parts are extremely poisonous and if he so happens to cut himself just a little bit, he will die in seconds. Keep in mind that the fish still shows a sign of life (heartbeat) even after the chef has cut away the organs. The fish is then washed for over thirty minutes to ensure all the blood is gone. After washing the chef then proceeds the painstaking process of cutting the fish into paper thin slices, so thin you can see through it.

    The customer is sat down in their own little room, which I believe is because if there was to be an accident you don’t want people to panic if he falls over and can finally begin to enjoy his delicacy…. Maybe for the last time for that matter.

Six precepts I would like to teach my dog.

Six precepts I would like to teach my dog.

     When I grow older I would like to teach my dog how to sit, stay, attack, protect, find, follow, and bring. I choose these six tasks because I find them the most useful to my liking. I would teach my dog these tricks in no real order just as long as the dog follows the task to the end.

     The reason I would teach my dog sit, is because it is the most traditionally seen trick to make your dog do in front of people. It is a trick that has been passed down by generations to impress anyone who comes over for a visit. It also shows that your dog is far superior to other dogs in intellect, being able to sit on command and shows that you are the alpha male.

     Another trick would be to stay. For that time when people are coming over and you need the dog to stay put and stop barking. Those times where you need the dog to stay put while you entertain your guests.

     My favorite trick would be to have the dog attack any intruder that so happens to set foot in my yard. Keep in mind that this will be a big dog and very hard to fend off once he starts his command of attack. He would be able to take down a full grown man without having to think twice.

     Protect would be a command I would give my dog to follow around my child as they walk down the street to ensure they get to where they are safely. This command will take a long time to develop. Because not only does the dog need to understand but have the motivation to protect who ever or whatever the dog is protecting.

     I think being able to find something is one of the coolest tricks ever, being able to tell your dog to go find the remote or maybe your child and within a few moments your dog will be barking for you to come to there the thing you were looking for is.

     Follow, much like protect, is where the dog will obediently follow you wherever you go and occasionally point you in the right direction of where you needed to go. This is a trick that People would use for when you are hunting for wild game.

     Lastly would be bring/ fetch. This trick I would use in coordination with find, because I would command “find and fetch …..” and the dog will obediently find the object and bring it to me. This is a trick that I would favor vastly if I ever need to find the remote, or need to find my child.

     The reason I wanted these six tricks is because they are the basic functions of a human being, to be idle, and still, to be violent or loving, curious and inquisitive, and as well as useful. Well some of the basic functions, because of course I won’t be able to teach a dog to talk because their voice boxes aren’t cut out for the unnatural sounds we humans make to talk with different tones and accents.

YOLO?

     Yolo? The meaning.. You Only Live Once
This phrase has been made popular by non-other than the rapper Drake. And people have been very keen on this way of life. Meaning since they have only one life to live, that they should go out and do crazy things and just experiment with life, go out and have as much fun as they can. When you think of this you think of people “burning the candle at both ends”, which means people are living their lives bright. But as everyone knows, a candle which burns at both ends does not last very long. People need to understand life is much like the candle, you are born and the candle is lit. As you get older you may want to burn your candle a little bit brighter so you tip it to the sides as let the wax drip off creating a larger flame to flaunt your audacity, or you can be outrageous and light the other side as well and just burn up the candle bright and beautifully. The thing is, there are bad gusts of wind at random times which represent the bad things that happen in our life. When one is burning a candle at both ends, It’s impossible to protect both ends and one dies out.. while as one that’s being burned regularly has a chance to be protected and even then sometimes we aren’t so lucky.

    The thing is, the place I come from used to be a beautiful island where you almost never had to worry about walking five black away from your house alone. Now things are getting worse and people are going missing, being raped, or murdered on this 15 by five mile jungle infested island. The past two weeks I have had a very close friend of mine whose father and his older brother witness a woman being chased by a man who was attempting to rape her in Garapan (an area of the island) and she was trying to escape, running through the AMP nude while the man chased her with a pickup truck. Lucky my friend’s dad was there to scare off the man and save the woman. I don’t think they have found the man yet.. There is also a Sex offender who had spoken to one of my closest and dearest friends (Anyone I am a friend of is dear an close to me). Men like that don’t deserve to walk this plant if the people say that there is something in their brain that makes them do the things they do… Alas the one thing that has me worried the most.. There is someone truly special to me and something has happened. I don’t know what because she won’t tell me and I truly worry for her because she said it dealt with a guy and that’s all. She assures me that nothing has actually happened to her, but it was enough to shake her. Which is scary because this person is hard to scare and is very strong willed. I just wish that I had enough strength and power to prevent these terrible things.  I just hope she is ok, she doesn’t want to talk to me about it, but I would very much like to hear. She also says that she doesn’t want to tell me because I would worry and I probably will too… but I can’t help it if I care so much.

No to Yolo “It takes many years to make the life the way you want it, but only seconds and a bad choice to screw it up and have it never be the same”

Inventions?

Greatest invention

     The world’s greatest invention would be the atomic bomb. The atomic bomb is seen as the world’s most powerful and destructive weapon of its kind, capable of wiping out an entire city within seconds and the ability to leave lasting effects of radiation within that area. The reason why I see this bomb as the greatest invention is because it enables the wielder of the technology to be the “top dog”, as Theodore Roosevelt once said “Walk softly, but carry a big stick”. This is the perfect reason why the atomic bomb is the greatest invention, because it is the “biggest stick” anyone can possess. Yes, it will instill fear in everyone who does not have the technology but though another reliable source we find that it is better to rule in fear than in love and compassion (The Prince by: Machiavelli), because not everyone will have the ability to love you but everyone has the ability to hate you, man is inherently evil. The atomic bomb is a one shot one kill thing, it leaves no time for the victim to retaliate and the immediate and after affects are so devastating they will think twice before attacking again. What are the possibilities that another country can possess such thing? Well protecting such weapon in secrecy is not easy. Either put a monopoly on all the parts that are needed to make such weapon, destroy any facility that has the ability to manufacture the chemicals needed for the weapon, or threaten the country until it gives in to stop manufacturing the bomb.  Yes there will be millions of innocent people who will be killed in the process, but that is why you do not attack those countries that are bigger or close to the same size as the wielder. Everyone needs a friend. Besides there are people all over the world saying that there are way too many people on this earth and that we have a problem of food shortages creating world hunger. This is the solution to world hunger, if we are taking much more than we can produce, take less. Simply getting rid of something that is a threat or a parasite, such as the people who are attacking you, we find it completely normal to dispose of the people. It is human nature to get rid of the weakest link, ones that have some sort of illusion that they can take down a person with a far superior weapon or strength. If we do not reinforce this matter we are interfering with the flow of nature..

Favorite book?

My favorite book

     My favorite book so far is actually a book series, one of which is the book “A Madness of Angels” and “by Kate Griffin, based in modern London filled with magical beings. It is about a guy who wakes up finding himself in his room after he has just been killed (resurrection), but he is no longer the same person but two people fused together. Half electric angel, which are beings that live within the telephone wires as pure electricity and half Jonathon smith, whose body the angel has come to inhabit. He soon finds out that he has been gone from the earth for two whole years and everyone believes he is dead. Their main goal is to try to find out who killed Jonathon (attacked him). He embarks on a journey in which he encounters old friends and enemies that he must defeat to find out who had killed him. He makes new acquaintances and together they finally find out exactly who had killed him many years ago, it was his old teacher or his shadow. They believe when a person starts to die a part of them tries to hang on to life and sometimes their shadow becomes that evil that wants to keep alive and the reason they attacked him before was because they wanted to get the electric blue angels on to the earth so that the shadow can eat and obtain all of the energy the angel inside of Jonathan has. He defeats the shadow in one last heroic stand but loses a woman who he loves.

     The way the author writes the book is much like modern time London, but in it adds the old mythic beliefs of magical and sorcery. There are to three other book in the series called the “Midnight Mayor”, “The Neon Court” and the “Redemption of Jonathon Swift”. I am looking forward to reading the whole series. I am already half way through the second and I have the third book in my possession, but the last one won’t be released till later this year. 

What I fear the most.

What I fear the most?

     Is the one sentence text saying “Help I’m scared”. There are numerous ways that one text can be interpreted. The worst part is that there is no way of contacting that person either. No matter how many calls are sent to that phone. No number of texts or calls will ever make that person reply. The only things that run through your mind at first are “Oh maybe they are getting their phone now and just replying late”. Then the seconds go by and your pulse starts to rise and you start to ask yourself “hmm what is taking them so long”. The minutes go by and you still haven’t received a text and you go “God I hope nothing happened” more minutes past by and you start to go into denial “Maybe they fell asleep, or they dropped their phone… etc”. Then right as you look at your phone again it has only been 10 minutes before your last text and you are worried out of your mind. The only thing you can do is sit there and pray that they are alright and hope they reply soon. Realistically you can take the time and drive all the way to the last known location of that person and look if they are ok or just sit and wait. Most people decide to wait, but very few actually go and check.

     The funny thing is, all of this happens in a small span of 10 minutes, which people think “ohh that’s not very long” but it is. The average person can bleed out in as much as 5 minutes if they have a severe enough injury. A man can grab a woman and it would only take a matter of seconds to do so, with an added four minutes to get her somewhere secluded so he can finish the deed. A man can rob someone in less than thirty seconds and kill them in three. The thing is, the world is not really a safe place. I’m not trying to sound like some paranoid freak, but someone saying that people should show a little more concern when something as serious as this ever arises. At least be concerned, whether or not their friend is ok, because if they aren’t and you did nothing. You will never be able to forgive yourself.  Because it takes a life time to build up your life as you want, but only mere seconds to break it apart and leave nothing but ugly cracks.
