I Advance In The Darkness

I advance in the darkness
I advance in the gloom.
For reasons I do not know,
And for things I cannot do.

Whether it’s the sound of crying
Or simply the sight of despair,
I’d respond to their calls
With no intention of repair.

The night time would have been proud
As I cast a shadow on the world in a hurl.
Enlightened by moonlight, empowered by rage,
No peace in sight, not even the face of a baby girl.

I advance in the darkness
I advance in the gloom.
On my own volition
And my own heartbreak too.

The gods would have been pleased with me
As I unleashed Pandora’s box
Engulfed in pain and sorrow,
The world was put in shock.

Is that the Earth I see crying?
What a sight to behold!
As she struggled to fix herself
Not to die as she was told.

Where would I fit in?
Would I have to die too?
But you see, a deal was made with the shadows,
Now I am to be used as its tool.

There I will stand.
Pensive,
Masochistic,
Solemn and sarcastic,

I advance in the darkness,
I advance in the gloom.
The world outside will be vexed,
And my very own be in bloom.

When Nature Calls. Seriously?

So one day, my friend says to me, "I need to go poo."

Seriously? What's up with that? I mean yeah, we all need to spend some quiet time doing our thing, but since when was it okay to just publicly announce it? It's everywhere lately, even facebook.

Anonymous friend no. 1: After i take a dump, I'm going on a date.
Anonymous friend no. 2: I need to go pupu first.

Okay, if I have to be perfectly honest, I find the word "pupu" really hilarious. But still. Come on people, we have limts, it's like:

A: Oh hey, what's up with you these days?

B: Could you hold that thought? Because i can't hold my--

A: Yeah, okay, just go.

See, i'd honestly feel better if everyone would just try to pretend that everyone isn't basically a sack of dung. Dung-carriers. Do you see the image in your head? Because I freaking do.

So what are the other various names for nature's children. The top 100 off the top of my head:

#1: Nature's Children
#2: Doodie
#3: Pupu
#4: Crap
#5: The "S" Word
#6: Shit
#7: Business
#8: Poo
#9: Dung
#10: Human gold

Seriously, not to even mention the fact that in the airport, my sister kept reading "Duty Free" as "Doody Free" and then added the tagline "That's why they call it business!"

It's like we're all in this new era where we all feel this need to break out and explore new boundaries, and we all feel like we've cemented this position in the world where we set the standards.

The problem is, nobody really has the same set of standards. So the next time you see someone rallying at the food court, telling you that you have to strip yourself of your clothes in order to free yourself, walk away. Or then again, try something new. Let me know how that turns out.

So in class, this guy was asking people if they had tissue, and one guy actually had the gull to ask why.

What do you MEAN why?

Weirder still, the guy asking for tissue said "Because I need to go to the toilet to shit."

Ironic that it was biology lesson.

I was feeling adventurour that day, so I tried to get into the wohle "It's okay to talk about anything" fad.

My friend went to the washroom, and my other friend goes "Where's he going?" and I nonchalantly go like "Oh yeah no he went to go and crap."

It was weird.

After about two minutes, the guy comes back from the washroom. I lean over and say to my friend, "Well, look at that, he's done crapping."

I still didn't get the gist of all this, so I stopped. Maybe it's just me, or maybe other people feel the same way, but sometimes I like to believe that secrets you makes with the toilet are kept between you and the toilet, kinda thing kinda thing.
