Hmm, what to say...
Well, I've finally finished all my exams. I'm very glad about this.
Uh, I still think that Paul Dano is beautiful and I'm going to marry him.
Oh, I'm also going to marry Lasse Gjertsen. Polygamy, ftw.

Anyhow, I was going to write this earlier, but as I was typing in the numbers to title this, she looked over my shoulder and said, "Oh evisha fotts. What site is that?" I was thinking to myself, "WHAT THE FUCK?" Naturally, I corrected her and told her it was a blog and that what she was reading actually said "eviscerated foetus." She was like, "Ooooh." Yeah, that pissed me off. I really hate when people read over my shoulder like Edele is right now. Yeah, that's right Edele. I'm blogging about you reading this.
/insert exaggerated angry face here.
Yeah, so I actually did really well on my English 12 Mocks. I don't know how that happened, but it did. In-TENSE.
147. TOPIC: People Can Create Their Own Reality
If one was to ask the average person to explain what "reality" is, they'd most likely peg it as anything with tangible and visual characteristics. Some may, in addition to the aforementioned, claim that this supposed "reality" must be experienced by multiple people in order to achieve its rightful validation.
What many people don't know, is that everything you experience using the five senses are simply electrical impulses being interpretated by our brains. Naturally with this understanding, the substantial variables become almost inmediately apparent. The amount of elecetrical stimualtion each person is able to recieve, the function of their neurotransmitters, the amount of myelin coating the axon's of one's neurons, all these things play a direct role in the reception and interpretation of these stimulants. It would be illogical and naive for one to believe that these seemingly insignificant variables have no affect on the overall interpretation.
Taking, now, this concept of reality as well as the infinate number of variables into consideration, can anyone truly believe that they are experiencing precisely the same things as the person next to them? Acknowledging this, is acknowledging the fact that each person sees, hears, tastes, smells, and feels things differntly than every other person in existence. When reality is simply everything that one can sense, wouldn't that clearly show that there is no true reality and that there are, in fact, over six billion different realities all existing simultaneously? I believe that this is precisely what this shows.
With the understanding that each person operates on a seperate reality, the concept of its creation can be adressed. The idea of "creating" a reality appears to many as the ability to have complete control over the colour of the grass or the laws of gravity. In actuality, however, it really just boils down to the concept of total narcissism and self-absorption.
Every person in existence is the center of their reality. Everything revolves around him or her regardless of whether or not it is acknowledged. Because of this, one's personal beliefs have a direct affect on their immediate personal reality. A man or woman that believes in the concept of Heaven and Hell will live their life making decisions inspired by their particular desired afterlife. To a person who has never experienced this concept, it simply does not exist. If one doesn't know something exists, how can it be a part of their reality? This would be an example of an unintentionally created aspect to a particular reality.
As you can see, every person can and does create their own reality. It just isn't in a way that the average person expects. The real question, however, is can one truly change their reality?
Essay from my English mock that got me another six. Aww yeeeah.
146. TOPIC: Self-awareness Leads to Meaningful Change
I believe that in order for someone to "maximize their potential," as it is referred to, they must reach a state of complete awareness; a nirvana of realized potential, if you will. Once a person has reached this state of aweness, they become nothing but a juggernaut of intangibility.
Although this self-actualized state is said to be the purpose of human existence and our sole reason for eating and breathing, no one has ever reached it. In fact, it seems as if humans reach a sort of plateau of stagnation, and then plummet into oblivion long before they're even close to the ultimate achievment. Most vieew this as a tragedy. Others, like myself, breathe a sigh of relief because we've either watched a child grow up and/or watched the Matrix.
A prime example of one coming into awareness would be the development of a child. Most people can recall the stereotypes of the "terrible twos" where the child in question seems to have no desire to do anything other than rebell. This is an example of a being becoming aware of their own capabilities on an incredibly small scale. This stage of self-awareness is relatively miniscule when compared to the big picture, yet look at all the doors that have been opened because of it. The amount of power and potential now harnessed by such a small, underdeveloped being is astounding. This really leaves someone to wonder what the stages after that plateau of stagnation must be like. Which comes next? The realization and understanding of death? The ability to comprehend time in its natural state instead of as the innacurate linear measurement man has turned it into? I honestly don't know and, in fact, I have my doubts as to whether or not we, as a civilization, will ever know. How can you find something indescribable and incomprehensible? Are we looking for someone operating under the false pretenses of pseudo self-actualization and nirvana such as Buddah or Ghandi or someone we don't understand at all such as Charles Manson who may very well be operating on a seperate and more advanced plane of conciousness and existence that the cretinous masses below? Like I've said, I honestly don't know, but when it does happen, nothing will ever be the same.
Yeah, dude, I totally got a 6 on this. McMonagle never gives 6s. Whoot.

1. I get to design my own prom dress! I'm so excited!
2. I've been asked to prom by this kid that's, like, twenty (?) or something. Obviously I said no, but he didn't seem to get the hint... Fuck.
141.
On another note, I've realized that I don't mind this one band too much. They're called 3Oh!3. It's one of those lame bands that Chantelle listens to that turns out to be not as lame as I originally expected. I can't handle a lot of their songs, but there are a select few that are pretty rad.
Well, I think that's it for now. I'll blog more...eventually.
Oh! I have a fish. He's really pretty. His name is Varg. I love him.
Oh, I'm also learning to speak Norwegian. It's going well. I'm excited.
Haha, also, I'm madly in love with this Norwegian film maker named Lasse Gjertsen. He's fabulous and beautiful. Truly, he is.
So, I think that this is all for now.
Ha det bra!

140. The Baguette I
The Baguette
She was one of his oldest and dearest friends in Paris, a Jewish actress by the name of Avital. Her mother was a failed dancer from Austria, and her father, a failed writer from Poland. In 1939, the two of them had managed to escape to London, where Avital was born. When the war finally ended and they returned to Paris, so many of their friends and neighbours had been deported that they never again quite managed to believe in the reality of their lives. They lived in a hotel near the Luxembourg Gardens, ate out in restaurants, and paid only the scantest attention to the so-called necessities of life; both were more or less anorexic and insomniac; neither did housework.
Time passed, Cosmo went on. Once Avital had grown up and begun to life on her own, her parents move to Israel and settled down in Tel Aviv.
That's practically the anagram of their daughter's name! Elke pointed out.
Since that time, they'd sunk into a sort of harmless lunacy. As the mother had health problems (phlebitis and a zona, if I remember correctly), the father did all the shopping and cooking. Whereas he himself ate almost nothing for supper (two yogurts were plenty), he went to the supermarket every day and bought his wife a half chicken, she gave most of it to the dog. Ah yes, I forgot to tell you they had a dog. Storytelling is not my forte, I apologize. Anyway, it was a very cute dog when they first got it, but by this time it had grown neurotic and obese; Avital's mother kept it on a leash even inside the house; she would lead it into the kitchen and force-feed it with a spoon, and when it couldn't swallow another mouthful she'd empty the contents of its tins directly onto the kitchen floor; the apartment reeked of dogfood, and when the father got up barefoot in the middle of the night for a glass of water, he would step in squishy stuff. Moreover, the mother was worried the dog might catch acold so, even in teh summer, even in ninety-degree weather, she would cover it with blankets, mountains of blankets, until all you could see was its poor little nose sticking out. She fretted and fussed about the dog so much that her husband finallaly exploded -- I'll KILL that dog! He roared. I swear, I'm going to KILL it! And he would pretend to step on the dog and crush it beneath his feet...
139. The Doe
I admit to having stared adoringly into the eyes of my executioner as I died, Your Honour, but only because he happened to be bending over me at the time, observing me closely through the lens of his Nikon. He took up my entire field of vision, so of course he meant the world to me -- the world I so dearly loved and was now forced to leave... Ah, such a wrenching of the heart! Think of it! To have no choice buyt to love your assassin, simply because he is still athrob with life, because blood is still coursing through his veins, whereas your own heartbeats grow fewer and farther between... weaken... flutter... cease...
138. Don Juan
Don Juan
Objection, your Honour! This has got to stop. I insist taht you do something about it! With the utmost indignation and determination, I protest against what has just been said. It is intolerable that my name be invoked every time a ladies' man comes prancing along. Its been going on for centuries and with every passing year my name is further degraded and trivialized... The truth is that my own ambitions were lofty, noble and metaphysical; far from being a guy who scratched his crotch every time it itched, I attacked the hypocrisy of social conventions; I hurled my defiance in the face of God himself; I'm one of the most powerful symbols of individual freedom in the history of the Western World!
As for sexual inversion, the very idea of it makes my heart seize up in horror, like the slug when Frank holds a match to it.
137.
Also, at this time, I'm enjoying a very large thing of coffee. Hot damn, do I ever love coffee.
I am currently in the process of learning Norweigan. It's a very odd language. I love it with a fiery passion. It's lovely.
Lasse Gjertsen is amazing.

I can't believe that it's almost the end of the semester. What the fuck.
Yes, so I've been compiling a bunch of video files on Charles Manson lately. I've got some original footage from his trial as well as some raw footage of interviews and a couple documentaries. It's incredible how much bullshit gets said about him. Fuck. The poor man. He's actually so much more intelligent than people give him credit for. Also, he's not as insane and out of it as people make him seem. Fuck you editors!!!

134. Manson
When questioned about remorse...
"Is he sorry. Hmm. I...I don't, uh...you know what? Let's...let's say this. Am I honest? You know, I can say anything. I don't really know what 'sorry' means. I've been sorry all my life. 'I was sorry I was born,' is what my mother told me. Uh, I've been at the bottom of this pile as long as I can remember.
Everybody's had permission to bite any part of me they wanted...chew up. I don't really, honestly know what a lot of these words mean that you guys use.
What does 'sorry' mean? 'Ughhh, ugh, I hurt. I've been beat with the leather strap. I'm...I'm sorry.' I'm sorry because I'm hurt or I'm sorry because... Why did I get beat? I don't even undersstand why I got beat. I just got beat. Why am I getting beat? Why've you got me in a cell? Why can't I wear clothes? Why can't I do like other human beings? Why do I have to be...why am I into this?
I'm asking all these 'whys' to myself 'cause you aked those 'whys' to me and I don't know how to deal with this 'sorry' thing, guy. They just keep asking me about this remorse thing and I'm not...I don't have a mind that way. My mind is, 'what works?' If something works, it functions. I...I have a mind in procedure. I understand procedure. I understand war. I understand rules and regulations. I don't understand 'sorry'."
133.
I will now return to doing my nails.
That is all.

Also, according to Josh Mullet, I'm pro just because. I think that's rather dandy. Indeed.

Also, I have a new goal as of yet. It is to not slack off at school anymore. I think it'd be in my best interest to actually try to do my best instead of just randomly doing what's expected. I think it's a swell idea.
Oh, and I've decided that if I fail in the film industry, I'll be a criminal psychologist. I'll study the minds of serial killers and such. Why not?

Wow, I haven't blogged in a while. That's unnatural. I suppose I'll just have to make up for all that lost time. See what I did there?
Well, my New Year's Celebration was pretty lame. I went out with two of my pals, but left early. And no, those two were not the other two in The Trio. Surprise, surprise? Anyhow, I just sat around my house and watched Jason Lee movies. Fun.
A few days ago I watched this movie. It's a musical. It's called Rent. It truly dominates the world. I am now a Renthead.
I've been hanging out by myself a lot. Surprise, surprise? Once again, see what I did there? I think that once I leave Campbell River I won't bother trying to initiate any sort of human contact. I'll live by myself and such. Fun.
Fuck.
