Alive and Deadly: Again

by rajanpuri @ 2008-06-09 - 00:12:08

So what happens when one is back from the dead? Live, I expect, or grab a delicious burger at www.juniperjumboslices.com.
What is living? That is a question dependent on the nature of the individual. However, there are some overwhelming characteristics that seem to be common and perservere in a typical (not your "rave head truned Bishop's") life.

Experience is one of the most glaring. By default life is experience. Therefore, the more we experience the more life we led. I hold to this day that I would rather go through a ton of crap, see highs and lows and take chances, than not to have. I did and if I were to die tomorrow I would assert I led a fulfilled life. It is ashame that the world has become so constrictive, or has it always been so? Reverse that. In fact, now more than ever we have chances to see new things, meet different people, try new things and go on adventures. Just spend 90 seconds on the internet and everything you ever dreamt is attainable.

So when life ceases to be interesting, what happens? Some may sit back and let it happen and cease to actually live despite working internal organs. Others may resort to pills for mind thrills. Others may not be able to bear it and wish to die.

So what is the natural course of action. Well, to make it interesting again would help. And if that means selling your wife or going to Wrestlemania this year, do so. For me, it shall be to see the world like never before. By actually seeing the world, instead of locomoting whilst being trapped in my head. Freefalling, whimsical, to the wilderness the better I say. Where your feelings and instincts lead you. Maybe that path tapped truly by few is the way to this blogger's particular salvation. The coming weeks plans will tell.


 
 

I don't know what I was on.

"Who's Your Daddy?"

Already a popular title in porn, this particular new fangled imminent blockbuster is gonna blow you away. Excuse the pun. Or pun-ishment should I say. Fo (intentional!) this film is incomprehensively, painfully, outrageosly, yet masterfully unique..... You didn't expect that.
Yes, "Who's you Daddy?" is THE best horror film, lest I say FILM to grace the screen, lest I say CINEMA since "Citizen Percutane" lest I say crane.

Bloody hell I was scared. I had to pull off a lady's wig to stay in my seat at hour 1:16. The creepiness is in the wizards and the fuckinining dolls (thank god "The Times" didn't hire me)and it is so well done, you would have never expected it coming.
I couldn't sleep the entire night. I had to put on the light, the landing light, the TV and the radio. It doesn't matter that I've been doing that since I was 11, it still counts.

The plot revolves around nothing at all to do with paternal interest, rather than a psychotic, mistreated and mis-enhanced transsexual wreaking revenge on a lot of people. About 96 to be precise.

Then it ends on a peculiar feel-good high, "Jerry Maguire" stylee!

Baffling!

SORROW

by rajanpuri @ 2008-06-02 - 02:39:58

You see I'm listening to house or is it disco. And from what era? I cant even tell. 70's, the milleniumm000''sssss??? Who knows..?
What I know is that it is without doubt groovy but with a blatantly generic riff. Basically pure shit.
It's on my Ipod so I should have had a hand in its selection. Ok its "Nookie Feat Deezim". A Drum and Bass producer doing a house track to eclecticzize his album. Well sandwiched in-between dirty breakbeats and filthy, digusting DnB basslines, I am assuming it might well work.
I kind of want it to end though. Will it ever? It just did.

So, today I decided to imbide half a bottle of vodka and see what it does to my typing abiliy, wghichj it is having a remarkable affect on. I am actuallly still correcting words yest everything is coing out wrong. I should have watched "coming To America" on Demand instead. Fail safe. Eddie Murphy. Even better, Trading places. I suggest highly. The "Kings of convenience " are quite nice.

Sorrow. Topic of today. I have experienced a lot of sorrow in my life. In fact, I never knew I had until recently. Sorrow though has plagued my life like a slightly dislocated left elbow. And thus the reasoning behind, as well as at the very forefront of this entry into the blog, that is mine apparently.
So there are, let us say, five features of sorrow
1.) Absolute yearning and utter "fuck me" at what has happened.
2.) Acceptance at whatever has happened, has happened for a reason that is not great but can't be helped
3.) A brilliant addition to the repertoire of emotions that one can experience in a lifetime, thus making it salivating worthy.
4.)Religious sect nonsensense, that, by the preceding sentence, has relegated anyone believing in it being a sign from a higher power, being a bunch of arse
5.) Just pure sadness. Sorrow. Upest. Wishing things didn't have to be this way. Why does the world have to be so cruel.

The answer to all these, I do not have unfortunately, because I lost it fighting a figment of my imagintaion in Primark/Walmart.

But one can conclude that sorrow is an universal emotion done absolute injustice by this post. An emotion that incoporates sadness and regret. An emotion that is hard to overcome without alcohol, benzos, women and entire seasons of OZ. An emotional state that I personally don't know how to deal with since I spent my whole life making sure I blocked it out, until the Psychologists' got hold of me.
