Coming Soon (possibly): hAx novel idea

You saw it on YouTube …

now see it on paper.

HORIZONTAL AXIS
A Novel.

(Possibly.) Don’t get your hopes up, but keep your fingers crossed.

:DSL!!!

After the previous post, I suddenly remembered that we had just acquired DSL.

We have just received a newsflash–and how fast!

Mike finally has DSL!!!

It was less than a week ago when the hailed accelerator of Internet speed (also known as broadband) arrived, although as yet without a wireless router, which, though delayed, promised to follow soon.

In a (Word)press statement following the arrival of DSL service, Mike expressed inward gratitude for this device which would provide great benefits regarding Internet access, where once there was only a dial-up connection.

Players of Ran and other online games expected that the new connection would enable Mike to play–well, Ran or other online games. Mike declined as he does not play much.

But after all this, he is still thankful for the existence of DSL.

I don’t know what to write any more …

Not that I ever really knew what to write in the first place.

Shall we go on?

I don’t really know.

Aside from the fact that those guys in my brain are still arguing, well …

Reason is slipping away, with not much academic blah blah to focus on.

Pissimista can still rage about a lot of things. But these days outside stuff seems neither so good nor so bad, so in the end, all I have in my mind is a tense, strained, short-lived moment of mental and emotional peace.

Senti_Mike, the lover in us all, is kept alive only by pictures. Every relationship he ever had–if you can call it a relationship–was, and still is, one-way.

Optimista is still hopeful. In the midst of global warming ergo intense summer heat, he’s still hopeful. After all, we still have a sun!

Yet between us all the memories we have had are fading away, just like photographs that have not been scanned, uploaded, and saved in a computer so that they remain there indefinitely, and if placed on the Internet, forever.

Shall we go on?

Someday, I will get off this desert island …

Someday, you will come to resurrect the golden memories …

We just have to wait.

A Personal Introduction

I don’t suppose that readers of this relatively new blog (if there are any readers) are going to recognize who posts on it.

So here is the introduction.

This blog is run by a guy named Mike.

But if you’re thinking just one guy with one mind writing only what comes from that one mind, think again.

There are a number of little guys inside Mike’s brain who argue over what he should be writing. They are like split personalities or alter egos who stand for different facets in Mike’s everyday life and profile. (Bipolar mercuriate will help expose these little guys’ profiles.)

Speaking of profiles, here is another introduction, this time to some of the guys. They do not really have formal names:

Reason is that guy who looks rationally at things. Uses school smarts to solve problems.
The Board of Emotion is a board of little guys who dictate Mike’s current emotions. Responsible for mood swings:
Optimista. Looks toward the future, at blue skies, and is generally–happy.
Pissimista. All gray skies and rain for this one. Heartbreaks, oppressive summer heat, etc. all get this guy down.
Komedyante. :p Funnyman who can relate with people better than most of the other guys in Mike’s brain.
Senti_Mike. (insert heart shape) If love comes to Mike, then it comes mostly to Senti_Mike. So far he’s been out of luck.
Venge. (insert horned head shape) Plans crazy schemes and sometimes wants to get his revenge. Often hotheaded or sulking.

Between lonely Reason and the split personalities of the Board of Emotion, they then control Mike’s hands and mouth so that he then says something dumb, insulting, nonsensical, or otherwise undesirable, and posts it online for all critics to see. (Forgive Pissimista for adding that. Peace.)

Perhaps this way, future readers will understand why, then, will Mike be making slips or mood swings in his blog posts. :p

Non-Stop Summer Heat!

Do I have to mention how boiling or steaming or volcanic hot the Summer of ‘07 is?

I’m sure I don’t. Anyone is bound to feel it. Which makes it such a hot topic (no pun intended) these days. Especially as a lot of us know it’s all part of … (ominous music) global warming.

Too hot to continue typing. Be back in a while, perhaps when the next Ice Age kicks in.

Coffee House!!! how I miss it … :D (intro)

I don’t have much time tonight to talk about how much I miss the sweet Coffee Houses so characteristic of Pisay’s caf during SY 2006-2007, but what I will say for now as an introduction is this:

Irish Cream, and Cappuccino (esp. Irish Cream … no hard feelings, Cappuccino …), you will both be sorely missed. We, the patrons of your sweet and mellowing, but also slightly energizing–after all, you both have caffeine–we hope to taste you both next year. God (and Allah, and Confucius, and Buddha, and Bathala, and Brahman, and Zoroaster, and the 8 million or so gods of Shinto) rest your … well, souls.

An Introduction to the Perpetual War that Exists within Every Human Mind

Hi.

This is my first-ever post.
