Standing tallStanding tall, staring at her, seeing her beauty, her physical and inner beauty… looking blandly, simply noting that it's there, no point it showing interest, it won't be returned, it never was before, what's changed since then? Nothing much, we've just become a worse person.

She walks past, glancing briefly at us, she smiles, an undeniably radiant smile, and we hate her for it, fury and cold disgust bubble inside us, fighting for purchase against pride and joy. Why are we fighting to venerate or condemn the simple action of a smile? You know she doesn't mean it, not really, building false hope just to dash it by forgetting your name. B

Lock and KeyRight now I am going to be exploring the metaphor of a lock and key, this is, of course, a metaphor for masculinity and femininity.

The key is obviously masculine, strong, solid, rigid and straight, and obviously it 'enters' the lock in a rather explicit metaphor (if you don't understand then you're too young) but it is more complex than it first appears, yes the key is a simple lump of metal right? In essence yes, but then it has a complexity hidden within it's simplicity, it is designed to open one lock and one lock only, to do this it must have a unique fitting, and while at first glance all keys appear similar, they are far more ingeniou

Genetics and longevityI have a theory on longevity in humanity, first I shall start by discussing why we age.

I believe that aging is a result of corruption to the genetic code, your cells constantly die and are replaced, every seven years every single cell in your body has been replaced at least once, and if you think of this as similar to digital data, while you grow, your cells change as they divide, so you aren't simply repeating a process over and over, you're modifying it as you go. But once you reach physical maturity then you are copying the genetic code each time your cells divide. Think on a piece of data, if you copy the same piece of data millions of

Schioz-mani-hebephreniaThis came to me in the night in a flash of spiritual and intellectual brilliance! No kidding. I was laying in bed, reading a book and the thought came to me, people used to regard mental conditions, including schizophrenia, manic hebephrenia, MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder for those who don't know), as "Demonic possession"! but, the wrd demon is simply a derivative of a Greek word for spirit, or more elaborately, "an entity partway between divinity and nature, a spiritual essence with supernatural abilities yet lacking the omnipotence of a deity" also, a note to stupid people, the word Daemon is an ARCHAIC spelling of demon and is really

RelativeBefore I start I would like to point out that I have not heard or read Einstein's Theory of Relativity. This article has no relation to physics in any way. This is my own take on Relativity and the Individual.

Lets start with a basic definition of relativity, by the dictionary (on my Mac) Relativity is the absence of standards of absolute and universal application.

First relative subject to individuality is Time, always tricky, no one can definitively say what it is, but we all understand the basic concept, right? Wrong. Time as we know it is an illusion, it is nothing more than a concept, it has no substance so technically cannot be measur

Wakizashi, componentsby ~Niteshifter

Photography / Other

And here's all the components in the wakizashi, fully assembled. There's the sword itself, naturally, the scabbard of course and then a throwing knife and hair piece that fit into the top of the scabbard.

Oh! So maginificient!

Althought, I fear cutting my hand off with it.

~Niteshifter Jan 21, 2013

haha xD well the one my brother has is sharp as hell and i actually sliced my hand unsheathing it (not my finest moment) but this one is made of cheap steel and cant hold an edge.

~marcelmiranda Jan 22, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

Well, so it's beautifull without being dangerous. xD

I once tried to cut a piece of bamboo with my friend's katana...

It got stucked to hard I had to saw the bamboo off in order to release the katana.

~Niteshifter Jan 22, 2013

haha xD the trouble is there are so many katana replicas out there that just arent built properly, and NONE are built these days to the standards they used to be, which is a shame but not surprising.

~marcelmiranda Jan 23, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

Well, I can think in a lot of bad things if they were built like before. I get angry kinda easily, so having a katana right in my hand would not be something nice, I guess.

~Niteshifter Jan 23, 2013

hehe xD perhaps not. From what I hear the test for a katana's sharpness was to drop a silk cloth over it, if the blade cut it in half as it fell without anyone moving it then it was sharp enough. I don't know if this is true but it's awesome

~marcelmiranda Jan 23, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

It's indeed impressive and I heard a real swashbuckler should cut three bamboos sticks with a single blow with a katana.

If he managed to do so, both katana and swashbuckler have the peerless features to be the best of their own kind!

~Niteshifter Jan 23, 2013

and bamboo is tough stuff, we had some growing in the back garden in spain, cutting that stuff back took a machete and 20 minutes.
