Columbinae

and there it lay, hardly motionless, its wings fluttering in futility. and all the while we looked on, motionless. it was unnatural to see it in its condition, and it made me fidget. i fidgeted and fidgeted, i would later look back at my looking away as most proper. it was simply unnatural that anything that would otherwise be so full of life be reduced this, this pile of muscle, organs, blood, and sinews. so natural. and after all, nothing to show for it. in retrospection, i must admit that it had sheer determination that i myself could not claim to have. time after time it arose and fluttered a few feet on its battered wings and broken foot, only to smash head-first into an obstacle - the tree. eerily natural now that i reflect. it was, of course, placed there years, decades, eons before, yet it was there in that very moment in time, ready to knock the weak to the ground and laugh. and laugh it did. the breeze, seeing such a massacre, did sigh a mournful breath for us all. the tree and all the world towered over the little bird. i looked away, i turned away. i could bear it no longer. the sun glaring in my eye, i left it to my shadow to keep that memory company.

Karl the Pineapple: Episode 3

So with that said, Karl thought about the tie he saw an apricot wearing the other day. It had black, yellow, and white stripes and he thought about writing a story about the sweet sundaes. Air molecules were tap dancing around him and he was in awe of the swirling parachute.
When he got to the bottom, Sundae was talking eagerly of a place where bagels grew on trees - already cut in half - and there were no straight lines or boxes. Karl began to fold up his parachute, but she grabbed him as if he had committed a terrible crime.
"Don't fold it up neatly when we can show everyone these awesome colors!"
They walked towards the setting sun because she wanted an adventure and the best one would be if they ran after the sun and captured it. So they rambled on with their parachutes dragging. Karl the pineapple told her stories he thought she'd like and she spoke of ridiculous ideas that came with a deeper feeling.
How do you think bobby pins feel? Would you like to live in the land of aphrodisiacs? Do you ever ask about the important things in life?
"Everyone gets so jealous."
"Of what?"
"Of everyone else."
"OK."

An Honest Mistake
by The Bravery

People
They don't mean a thing to you
They move right through you
Just like your breath
But sometimes
I still think of you
And I just wanted to
Just wanted you to know
My old friend...
I swear I never meant for this
I never meant...

Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake

Sometimes
I forget I'm still awake
I fuck up and say these things out loud

My old friend...
I swear I never meant for this
I never meant...

Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake

Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake

"And I'll be damn'd if I let you raise my blood pressure!"

Kinda too late, dude.
So he caught me reciting lines 2 to 23 of Romeo and Juliet, act 2, scene 2 in english class...

"Why are you talking?!" [with much anger]
"..." [slowly tries to hide behind girl infront]
"That makes me very angry. You've made me raise my voice!" [with a blatantly outdoor-ish toned voice]
"..." [hopes that he is talking to girl infront]
"CARL! Is there any particular reason you should be talking?!"
"...no." [squeaks]
"..." [sinks ever lower into chair]
"This is definitely not good for my blood pressure!" [vein begins to pop out, so I was later told]
"..." [sinks lower still]
"And I'll be damn'd if I let you raise my blood pressure!" [loudly]
"..." [blushing occurs]
"Is that understood?!" [*RAWR*]
"...yes." [sheepish]

And that, folks, was the first time I've been in real trouble with a teacher in my high school life.

Karl the Pineapple: Episode 2

Sorry for the delay, if indeed anyone but me was waiting for this edition. I was momentarily removed from my blog for varying reasons in the past little while, so this episode is late by... 3 days? Maybe 4.

Halfway through Sinbad, Karl heard music flowing out from the dimly lit Soda Shoppe. They were tunes from an older era where pineapples and icecream and strawberries and white-out never had to worry about wearing sunscreen and whether or not there would be a nuclear war. Karl jumped down carefully and nearly bumped into his friend, the Sundae.
He inquired as to why she had come and she proposed they go sky diving off the top of his bookshelf with psychedelic parachutes so that all the people in the raging metropolis of Fogville could see the colours. Karl, the quiet pineapple, objected.
Sundae proceeded to climb the bookshelf in an uncautious fashion, forcing Karl to go up after her. She grabbed her parachute and literally flew off the tall structure. Karl the pineapple had read a lot of children's books about this sort of thing so he knew that when he jumped off, a dramatic change in his life would occur. He thought of his mother and said to himself, "What would the little matchgirl do?"
Sundae was screaming as one does when one rides the bat or orders a pina colada and receives a waffle."

Proverbs 11:14

I am a male. I am 14 years old. I am also asian. I enjoy video games and thinking. I also like long walks on the beach and openly donating my opinion as fact in a most random pattern. I sport anything ranging from mildly sloppy to uber-preppy. My ears tend to wear glasses, but it depends on how they're feeling on any given day. I interchange three different pairs of jeans in a continuous cycle and don t-shirts, dress shirts, and sweaters from time to time. I struggle with forward motion. I am a teenage, male, seeking help.

Recount: 3 Previous Days

I've managed to successfully beat the hell out of myself and get it beaten back into my system. I've also managed to do 500+ questions of math homework, score a 96% in a test (thereby enraging my fellow IB comrades), reguritate the lyrics to "Such Great Heights" by The Postal Service for a special someone, jest at the antics of one Kishon Manoharan, give advice about relationships with the opposite sex (seriously, don't listen to me), drink several cartons worth of Five Alive in assorted flavours, and skim through Act 2 of Shakespeare's version of "Romeo and Juliet". Yay. Power to the people.

To be continued...

i am happy to bring to your attention a series of short stories written by a friend of mine. it’s quite a cute little series that could have great potential, containing much good imagery that can be read more deeply into. without further delay, i bring you…

"Karl the Pineapple: Episode 1"

Once upon a time there was a pineapple named Karl who lived on a bookshelf. He was living a good life with joy among the storybooks. Karl is the best informed person about children’s stories. He knows of Rumpelstilskin and Lon po po. All day the adorable little pineapple reads.
But Karl lives alone and one day he rolled himself off the bookshelf and landed very close to a prancing sundae. She had all kinds of ice cream and fruits and sprinkles and syrups and nuts and all the good stuff that catches even the eyes of those who detest yummy ice cream sundaes. She said "Hello." and introduced herself. Karl did the same. Then she said she had to fly and she spread her crystalline wings then flew away to the Soda Shoppe.
Karl climbed back onto his bookshelf and thought he could either run to the Soda Shoppe and live an impulsive life, using the world as his oyster, like the sundae. He decided to read Sinbad the Sailor.
Tune in between April 13-15 for the climax of this story. Will Karl the pineapple go to the Soda Shoppe? Will he read more of Alice in her Wonderland? Will he fall off the bookshelf to meet someone else? Will he... something?!?!?

That, my friends, was the very first part of "Karl the Pineapple."

5 movies i could probably not watch more than once in one sitting:

• Forest Gump
  
• Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (actually, any one of the series would serve the same purpose)
  
• Napoleon Dynamite
  
• Saving Private Ryan
  
• Titanic
  

damn.

don't you just hate it when great ideas go to waste?
