Another new poem. I got inspired by something my mother said and just went with it, though I don’t necessarily agree with it completely. Comments and critique would be appreciated

All Alone

Tired and wet we all emerge
Dripping in blood and dripping in sweat
They clean us up
They rub us down
We do as they say
Or upon us they frown
We bend, and twist and we conform
We follow all of society’s norms
Until we’re broken, beaten and torn.
Our hearts were once soft and tender and warm
They grow cold as ice as we live our lives
Sooner or later they turn to stone
And yet we pretend we are not alone.
We act as though we love each other
The reality is we love ourselves
Not out mother, father or brother
We’re selfish people through and through
Who live in our full but empty homes
But we’ll die dark and slowly
All alone…

It’s always so much easier to come here and write when I have absolutely nothing to really say and just feel like blabbering .

I was actually looking at my computer today and I realised every component is a different company. LG monitor (new 18.5″ LCD ), Intex CPU, 2JBL speakers, 2 Creative speakers (4 speakers are awesome btw!!), HP keyboard and Printer/Scanner, Logitech mouse and webcam, Intel Processor. I think that covers all the major brands Somehow that doesn’t seem as amusing as it did 5 minutes ago

Anyway to make up for that total waste of time, a creation of mine The PGM motors 005

I just had to post this game. It’s totally awesome

So as usual it’s been ages since I’ve last posted something here. Thats probably the reason I took so long before I actually started my own blog.

Anyway I figured I may as well just post today. Not that I really have anything in particular to say I’ve had a relatively boring week. The first half was pretty routine, College, MAAC, home, nothing special really.

Then came Friday. I was running late as it is, and it was raining. Windcheaters have to be the most useless form of protection against the rain cause even with mine on, I was wet. Even my top which was under the windcheater. My jeans were soaked through… Though that was partially cause when I was about 2 mins from the station and not tottaly drenched, this crazy man walking past me kicks water onto me and then runs off… And trains always get messed up on the first heavy-ish day of the rains so I figured, may as well take a fast train. Instead of taking the usual 12-15 minutes, it takes 50 mins, since it moves slowly for 2 mins, stops for 10. Highly annoying Add that to the fact that you’re drenched, standing up and have crazy women nudging you in the ribs, its not a lot of fun.

So eventually I reach college and enter my first lecture 5 minutes before it finishes and see none of my friends in class. Turns out they all skipped it and were hanging out in the canteen planning to go for a movie which we end up watching by bunking the remaining 3 lectures We went to Sterling for ‘The Hangover’. Its probably one of the funniest movies I have ever seen And they actually shot it without any retakes which is truly truly shocking!! And awesome

So eventually we all have to head back to college for an honours lecture and end up getting even more wet. The lecture gets cancelled because the two major geeks in our class didn’t stay back for it So I get to head home, have a nice hot bath and relax.

I love the rains They just make everything seem so much nicer. All the buildings look cleaner, the trees and plants look fresher, the dog goes hyper And who doesn’t like just taking a walk in the rains and finally coming home and having somethin hot to eat. Its just heaven
And I think I’ve babbled enough for one afternoon. I’ll probably be doing more of this from now on

One desert bg plus some monuments = my new matte painting

It’s been ages since I actually wrote something, but exams really motivate you to do a ton of things, none of which include studying So here is my latest offering, it’s a poem called If You’re Happy. And yes, titles can be misleading Enjoy

If You’re Happy

If you’re happy, you won’t know it,

When you’re sad, you can’t show it,

You’re depressed and you feel lonely,

You think you’re dying slowly,

You feel the world is out to get you,

You wouldn’t if I hadn’t met you,

But you came into my life and turned it all upside down,

You made me feel like a princess,

But then you stole my crown.

And now I’m catching up to you, so baby, don’t you frown,

You knew I would come calling,

So come on, quit your stalling,

And try to be a man, once in your life.

If you’re happy, you won’t know it,

I’ll make sure that you can’t show it,

You’re depressed, you think you’re lonely,

But babe, I’m only killing you slowly.

And fortunately, there’s plenty life left in you

I’ll take my time, I’ll wear you down,

I’ll grind your hopes into the ground,

I’ll destroy you completely before I’m through.

Yeah you know I’m coming to get you soon,

Where you gonna hide cause there ain’t no shuttle to the moon.

You knew I would come calling,

So come on, quit your stalling,

And face me like a man, once in your life.

If you’re happy, you don’t look it,

If you are, well I’m over it,

Your breath just sounds so shallow,

Your eyes are sunk deep in their hollows,

You’re dying so very slowly,

No creature deserves a death so lowly,

But then no creature could ever compare to you.

Your chest heaves, you cough, you scream

But only I hear you breathe your last,

And watch you slip into an unending dream

Of the days, the nights, the life, that past,

The glorious days, the steamy nights,

The stolen kisses, the freakish frights,

The torture that was your last fortnight.

Yeah now that I think about it,

You probably were happy,

But I no longer care, as you can see.

So I did eventually end up working on the colours a bit more. My final submission

And heres to John Lennon, born today some 68 years ago, he was probably one of the greatest musicians the world has ever or will ever see, at least I think so And hopefully he will still be singing, writing and spreading peace, where ever he is now

This is something I wanted to do for a long time but only recently had the incentive to get to work on. I’m using it as the subject for my final photoshop matte painting exam, but it’s also a tribute to one of the most amazing singers ever. So heres to John Lennon It’s also kind of a good time for me to put this up since his bday is coming up on the 9th.

Tribute to John Lennon
