I could...I should...

I could write a new blog entry. But I really should write my analysis of "The Cradle of Civilization" by Dorothy Parker for university. Got to write about 2000 words! And all that about three pages of text...I like Parker's texts but since it's not much you have to write about, you end up reading it all thousands of times which just sucks! And I'm tired....I'd love to just go to bed and sleep but on the other hand I'm not tired enough for that...so I'm hanging in a state inbetween awake and asleep without any way to go. *sigh*

So I end up writing a new sensless blog entry instead of doing anything useful. To say it with the last word of "TCoC": "It's lousy."

I hope our Harry Potter roleplay will continue some time soon. I'm in a HP phase again...no idea why but either way, I'd love to continue with it. It was just hilarious and we're just about to have our very first Potions lesson with Snape. *lol* That will be great! And I want to reall meet Fernandez...the Slytherin girl one of my friends plays. I guess our charries will hate each other but that's just the funnier!

Alright now...see you!

Coat of Arms and Egoism

Thanks to Sparkles, I thought about how my Coat of Arms would look like. Now I've finished my black and white version of it. All the symbols have various meanings for me and they tell rather a lot about me but I don't think I'll explain all of them here. But you're free to ask if you're really interested and maybe I'll answer ; )
Don't ask me though why the colours are so strange here...it's not how the original looks like!
Oh and "Aurea Mediocritas" means "The golden middle"...

Now to egoism. I sincerely admit: I'm an egoist!
But I'm in good company because I think that there's not one human being on Earth that's not egoistic. For me, there's no selfless behaviour. This may sound a bit strange now or pessimistic but indeed, it's not. It's only a bit philosophical. You see, I think that the only difference is in our values. What gives us joy. If money is all that you love than you'll be a miser but if spending money on presents than you're generous. But if you say that you only make presents for the joy and happines of others than that's not true. You do it because you feel good if oyu make others happy. If you wouldn't feel good you wouldn't do it. So you're own happiness is always the most important thing to you. And therefore everyone is egoistic. It's just that egoism is thought of as being something negative but in truth it's neither good nor bad, it's just the way we are...and probably every other living being. We always compare possabilities and chose the one that makes us most happy or least miserable. Sometimes we might chose the one that we know will make us miserable later on but then we're more living in the moment than in the future and so we chose the thing that's most comfortable now.
I'm truly convinced of this egoism principle. Just like the "there can only be one almighty being" statement, it has no real consequences for our lives. But maybe we can accept gifts more easily if we know that it's not only giving ourselves joy but also the ones giving it to us. At least if it's a sincere present. If you feel bad giving a present because if may cost so much or whatever than you're not honest about that present. You just feel that not giving it would have worse consequences for you.
So everything we do is simply for our own pleasure and if it gives pleasure to others than that's just a nice coincidence.

Enough from your egoistic :: Yeoyou :: for now : )

Wicked Game

I got a solution for my three dots problem. I simply won't do any punctuation in my blog titles :)
Now for Wicked Game, that is the title of my newest Evan Lorne/Kavan Smith wallpaper which you can see in its grand splendour here.

It's also wicked that I can't access Gate Galaxy right now. "Too many connections" it says...*grr* is what I say!
But apart from that. Everything is fairly fine. I found out that the edition of a book I tried to hunt down throughout the last week, is no longer available and will never again be available. So I had to buy another edition but well. It's the text that really matters in the end, right?

I think my sis has returned. Not that this would mean anything but I still think I'm going to try GG again and leave this post in its shortness...

The trouble with the three dots...

I just realized that most of my titles end with "...". It's a bad habit of mine, I know. Does anyone know what to do against it? It's either "..." or an exclamation mark! I should try and find a support group, I think.....argh! No. I. Must. Use. Simple. Full Stops. It works! :) Oh no, that was an exclamation mark again...

Okay, I give up!...!....!....!!! You'll simply have to live with it. I can't help it!

The sun shines and it's devilish humid out there. Not nice! Must finish watering the plants now. Stupid plants!

Barefoot and exhausted...

1) Barefoot: no, I'm not barefoot but I did a wallpaper for one of my favourite German films which is called "Barfuss" and as you can imagine, that's "barefoot" in English. This is it:
For the real big version click here.
So that's not, as I said I would do, a sole Til Schweiger wall but he's on it anyway and since his website isn't on the web yet, I came across the barefoot website. I'd give you the link but it's all in German unfortunately.
I also put it on Art Asylum already. You can look there for a brief description of the film.
I've also updated the site with the other "new" fanarts I made. So it's up to date at least. Just got to write those other pages...

2) Now to "exhausted": Just slightly so. It's getting better but I've spend most of the morning carrying my sis' belongings to her room. She's doing this lab work now and since she only arrived yesterday in the evening, she had no time to bring it all up herself so lil' sis has to do it...*sigh*. But that's the way it is, right? Now I've got to water the plants....maybe I'll come back with something later on.

Once upon a time...

I couldn't think of a more fitting or better title. This is not going to be a fairy tale. Anyhow, let me continue:

Once upon a time there were two almighty beings...

If you think there's something wrong here you will either think that A) I have just gone mad or B) you will think along the philosophical line that I am about to trod on. I hope it's B but in case there's someone there thinking A, I will explain B.
The thing that's wrong with that not-fairy-tale-sentence is that there can never be two almighty beings!
I won't muse about whether there's one almighty being or not coz that's not the problem. But if there were two, they wouldn't be almighty. I discovered that truth when I was about 13 years old (that's a rough guess, because I can't really remember how old I was but it sounds better if I give you an age...). I was a Trekkie then and thought about the Qs and that they can't be almighty. Here's now the reason for it:

Assume there were two supposedly almighty beings called X and Y (had already A and B in this post, would become a bit confusing if I used those letters!). Now, out of some reasons we don't know and don't need to know, X decides that it can't stand Y anymore and therefore wants to kill it. Since X is almighty and therefore can achieve anything it wants, Y would die. But since Y is also almighty and we just assume that it wants to continue living, it won't die.

That's the whole problem and hence there can never be two almighty beings! Of ocurse we could say that almighty beings can't die or that there are certain rules but that would make them still not almighty.
This sort of philosophy is naturally very pointless and won't help us in our daily lives but since I thought of it, I couldn't forget it and therefore had to write it down at one point. This point is here and thus is my discovery.

You might applaud my brilliancy now!

Still not dead...

Little post to say that I haven't died a hideous death nor a nice one. Am still lurking around...for better or worse, I cannot judge!

I had a splendid time with Sparkles, my UK friend and we spent a lot of time drooling over Gerry Butler and other hot actors. We have decided that I am going to ask Kavan Smith and/or Joe Flanigan about their Coat of Arms when I meet them. It's when not if! Oh and I am going to get a green highlight once I find a male hair stylist to do so for a reasonable price :)

Still got to finish unpacking. Got a Lorne wallpaper to be done for Gomeroi. Am also planning about more Michael Weatherly, Gerard Butler wallpapers and maybe Til Schweiger wallpapers for a change. I have some ideas for future blog posts that I am going to post. Hopefully they won't end like that still promised "Las Meninas" post *lol* which, btw, I still intend to write some day. Oh, and I should probably update Art Asylum with the newest fanarts and get some more pages written and uploaded. Yes and then there's the promised Lorne comic signature that I also have to do for Gomeroi...hm. When am I going to write my uni papers? Seems that I have hardly time for that! Got to watch lots of tv and movies too...and now that I finally checked out Joe Mallozzi's blog and decided that I have to read that regularly from now on. And he posts daily!

Well, now I'll try to think of how I am going to do all this. So that's that for now.
