The Creative side of Me - Part 7 of Part 1

Part 7 of Part 1

How many parts are there to one part? I don't know. I don't think I will ever know until I get to Part Two.

A finger rapped up in a sock... What is the image in your mind?
Well since the actual image is right here infront of me I will tell you that its only a finger that was once attached to those drawing hand manicans and now is in a phone sock.

Blood splattered on my jacket... What is the image in your mind?
My jacket is rainbow coloured and has blood red dye painted on it as square patches and splattered symbols.

I could carry on and you would carry on mis-interpreting everything. Maybe it is the lack of specification in my sentence, but why do we still drag our minds to the extreme or unwanted. Do we have to little drama in this world that we need to sub-consciously force ourselves to provide more murders, poverty, rape...?

I'm not going to start typing about the people who have just plain twisted minds, but even if I look back at what I have written I still get the wrong idea. I guess the first one is my fault from lack of description, but the second one is metonymy. Using one thing to represent another.

Maybe I want drama, maybe its not you... I just expect you to make wrong accusations that I most likely would, but not everbody thinks alike and definitely not great minds.

The Creative side of Me - Part 6 of Part 1


Part 6 of Part 1

Is there anybody gonna listen to my story, anybody, anyone at all... - The Beatles, A girl (also in Across the Univese)

The quote above is for the lack of followers and comments I am receiving!

Dodgy-ness, anything can be dodgy from places you drive through to emails from a stranger.
But not talking about the actual, actual meaning of the word, but the word itself.
Dodge - Well that's when you try to block something by the something missing you. (I am not a dictionary, those aren't perfect words)
y- well, that's just the letter to change 'dodge' from a noun to an adjective, but wouldn't that mean that I could call someone who is good at dodging, dodgy?
I guess it could refer to the fact that you should dodge this place, person so on.

I am going to make a new word for 'dodgy' ... thinking...

ummm....um....

nonono -  no-no-no, adjective
                Origins: the word 'no'
                This word is used for anything that would have normally been called dodgy.

Do you like it? Its very original...(cough, cough)

sigh...scratches neck... taps at head

This is a song … wow… Look at it! It is also a tongue twister, pattern riddle. Look at it! Without the tune could you say it really really fast? Try! That's easy enough, but it has a tune and it goes really fast. Its also a very catchy song and also a very dense one that doesn't know where the exit in my head is.

Cna oyu raed tihs???

Riddles and problems make you think, wonder, ponder …

O T T F F S S _ _ _

What are the next three letters?

ENOUGH OF RIDDLES!

Pictures are taken to cherish moments and views. How do you decide what is a excellent photo and whats not?
These days a picture of piece of wet paper, if the camera is adjusted well, can look and be brilliant. Photography is an art, but not only of seeing what others don't, but of being able to (manually - don't cheat) use a camera.

I am pretty sure that some people will argue that blogging is an art! Anything is these days! But I rather put it under the category of... free-accessed literature. Of course blogs selling stuff would no fall under that classification, but more a journal based, thought based blogs would.
Do you want your life to be viewed by anyone? Anyone at all?

I know this is pretty hypocritical, but I don't mind. My life doesn't seem to interest me so much, so I try expand it with my thoughts, if that makes sense.

The Creative side of Me - Part 4 of Part 1

Part 4 of Part 1

... After 45 minutes of peace, quiet and boredom-

The Fifa Soccer World Cup. My teachers think that everyone is interested in the patriotic duty we have for our country, so they decide that we have to listen to the same thing not once, not twice, but three times.
Okay, so maybe it is a grand festival that is being held in my country, but if I am going to be realistic, I don't think that South Africa will get into the second round. Our national sports are rugby and cricket, before a few years ago I didn't even know we had a soccer team.
I am a fan the Barcelona and their player Messi, but I have never seen one whole game of theirs and I don't know who Messi is playing for in the world cup.
I am going to post the names of the players in Barcelona on another post and a result to a game that I watched and I promise I will not cheat, you will have to trust me!
I saw this political cartoon, done by Zapiro, the other day. It had three ancient empires and the lands they used to own in the world. And in the fourth block was a man sitting on the world smiling with a shirt that said Fifa.
Here it is:


10 illegal minutes more for 30 students. 23 of which felt to guilty and headed back to class. 7 stayed.
Maybe not such a big deal now, maybe not such a big deal later, but what if the 7 that stayed got a thrill out of it? What if 3 of them enjoyed the thrill? What if 2 of them wanted more of the thrill? What if one of them got more of the thrill, but in other dangerous ways? A small risk, but is it worth taking?

That probably won't happen, but its fun to follow through a dangerous theory.

The Creative side of Me - Part 3 of Part 1

Part 3 of Part 1

A fantastically, glorious hilarious TV show could be stick men as everyday characters. It could be a regular drama, comedy, action and so on, but have all the characters as stick men.
Imagine Desperate Housewives and everybody is a stick man/woman. <- This might just be my obsessiveness with stick men.

Hot chocolate, toffee/ chocolate-chipped ice-cream/ coconut sorbet and a hot warm duvet- right now that is all I crave, hmmmm and also prawn spring rolls with hot, sweet chilly sauce or plum sauce.
Oh! And lets not forget the disappearing of a certain teacher...
Babble, swabble, scwadable, I'm so tired it hard to think.
Eyes are deceiving, but not mine- I hope- Look at the people whispering to themselves, some staring at wall and some writing down non-private thoughts are quite-
Wait! That happens to include myself...

The Creative side of Me - I'm Not There, You're Not Here

I'm Not There- You're Not Here

I was busy playing my guitar and thought for a second why not write a song-
So here it is, actually only the lyrics and chords:

(Note- the lyrics are out of beat! and the chord shown is for the line its in!)

Verse 1) With the rain pouring (G)
               My memory comes back to me (D)
              Of a boy who once held me (Am)
              Who now is gone (D)

Verse 2) If you open the door I oh (G)
               Won't be there (D)
               because you live (Am)
               to far away (D)

Chorus) If I (G)
              Look outside (Em)
              I wonder why you (Am)
              Never visit (D)
              If I (G)
              Look outside (Em)
              I wonder if you've (Am)
              Forgotten me (D)
              If I (G)
              Look outside (Em)
              I stop and stare cuz (Am)
              You're not there (D)

Verse 3) All the books I  (G)
               Read, I find you (D)
               There as a (Am)
              Character (D)

Verse 4) All the moments I (G)
              Cherish most (D)
              Are with you (Am)
             With me (D)

Chorus)

              da di ba di (D)
              Won't you please (Am)
              Come ba-ack (D)

Verse 6)  Bam didadam (G)
                dy-y-a-a (D)
                If you don't I (Am)
                May find another (D)

Chorus)
              (G) 

I hope you liked this, but like the photo taking, I am not a born-song-writer!

I used these photos to enter in one of my school's societies, but they haven't gone any further than that.
I am not a trained since birth photographer, but I do enjoy taking pictures.

The Creative side of Me - Part 2 of Part 1

Part 2 of Part 1

I'm an Athiest (while looking how to spell "Athiest" I found out that I'm an agnostic too- it means the same, but it really sounds like an adjective... IT'S NOT its actually a noun) because I believe in science, science always has an explanation, and I see no way possible for such a 'God' to exist. Think of it... Have you thought about it?

I go to a Jewish Youth Camp called Netzer. This may seem odd, but for me religion isn't necessarily a bad thing. Religion started the 'Do's and Don'ts' system and maybe now we all know what's right and wrong, but that was a necessity back then. (My opinion, not yours)
I also love all the tradtions and festivels, to be celebrating something that so many generations have celebrated before you is a wonderful thing. I grew up hearing the stories of Hanukah and Purim, those were my favourite stories and I'm proud that I can retell them to anyone, to my children later. They were my favourite because of the passion written into them.

You may or may not agree with me, I may or may not be right, but I respect you for your desicions... so don't hate me for mine.

The Creative side of Me - The beginning

The Beginning


The imagination of one's (1) "thinking" / "thoughful" / "individuality of" certain beings starts here in this creative yet somewhat yet somewhat deletable blog that consists of posts filled with thoughts and other inexplainable pieces of ... stuffs (thoughts) from the explained intellects above which includes myself.
