Have you ever looked up at the sky on one of those gorgeous days where the sky is infinitely blue and the clouds look soft and fluffy?

Have you ever thought to yourself,

What would life be like among the clouds?

Call me a weirdo, but I have thought that to myself many, many times. Especially when my emotions and things in my life get the best of me. It gives me an unbelievable sense of tranquility. When I ask that question to myself, I don’t exactly ponder how it’d be for me living up there but more of like, people living up there, looking at me, down here.

When I put myself in their shoes, looking down at me, a tiny grain of sand among billions, I can’t help but shrug off my frustrations, complications, and stress because those things are even tinier. I’m not saying that my problems are completely insignificant but it’s like me vs. the universe. If I pop a vein in my head from anger and die, what would good would that do?

As humans, we are innately selfish to some extent – or as my dad calls it: driven by self interest. The challenge is controlling that self-interest and implanting the concept of the world doesn’t revolve around me into our minds. It’s not easy controlling the greed of wanting to be significant and important, engraving our tiny existence into the people and things around us. But you have to face and accept that fact. People that constantly run away from it will only humiliate themselves forever.

That’s reality.

I admit, it’s tough facing it at times. I used to run away from it, making a big fool of myself but with the help of some friends, I turned that bad experience into one that would benefit me. When I start to lose grip of my place in this world, letting my emotions take over my consciousness, I look up at the sky. Up at the clouds, it is a world of it’s own. A world unbounded by the chains of time and fate. I watch the clouds gently float above me…those clouds that never stop to observe the ugliness and disintegration going on down here…and taking a deep breath, continue on with my day…

Refrain from it.

Love Love Network updates
- Reramped the domain and moved the blogging portion/update portion to Refrain

Somehow, I have actually managed to reramp this all. Yay me @_@ Those who were affiliated with me, please change your links to http://log.empty-dialogue.com. It’s not mandatory since I link this page on the main site anyways. Some of my affiliates haven’t dropped comments or said hello to me in ages so I will be removing them in the next few weeks. I still have work to do on this site too…bahhh :S

Life has been pretty good. Too lazy to explain why XD Just check out my facebook album – Bits & Pieces of Summer 2010 – and you’ll see why :] If you have a facebook, feel free to add me too!

Anyone listen to Girugamesh?

They’re originally more to the J-Metal side than Rock, with the screaming, visual-kei makeup and what not. But more recently, they’ve been experimenting with more rapping and songs that have some singing going on. And wearing less makeup (Satoshi = hawtness). Their original fans weren’t too pleased with this change but…I actually love it XD My most favorite song by them is Crying Rain. For some reason, however, they only released this song as a single and on their European Edition of their album. p_O Anyway…go watch the music video!

It’s such a great song…powerful lyrics and it just sounds amazing! I actually first got into it over a year ago but I recently watched the music video for it (with translations of course) and wow…Satoshi [vo] made me fall in love with this song even more! Every time I watch this video, my heart aches :O So much emotion (maybe he’s singing about himself? ;P ) but wow ;o; I never saw a music video where the vocalist actually looks like he feels every single word he’s singing. I’m extremely impressed. It’s not the video that’s great but how he’s pouring his heart out and singing it… ♥

The repeating days are soaking us more and more ; Even that painted place of that day, the downpouring night is never stopping to cry ; The night is crying, crying
