It's gonna happen this year, I'm afraid.

I have no idea how, what, or even when... only a vague inclination of why, and it's a dubious bent at that.

It'll make for some messy posts in the future, I guarantee.

I am thinking to myself:

1) Bleak philosophical prose.
2) More or less realistic drama involving "forging understanding of self through disillusionment."
3) Senseless and entirely random adventure involving a cast of very strange and thoroughly unexplained characters, complete with wild antics and the occasional pyrotechnic display.

Option 3 seems most likely. It involves the greatest flexibility, and doesn't preclude the option of evil penguins, which make a marvellous plot device if used correctly to battle the block of 'The Great Uninspiration'.

Thank you for the favourite on Candles ^^
It's really appreciated by the little faeries whom I feed with dead flies that can be bought in the..
I'll stop.

Incidentally, I noticed your brilliant writing style.
Insanity is fun, as is confusing people. I applaud you for your honesty..
(and is that sarcasm I see?)

I noticed your little signature thing. I agree with it, but would replace "logic and reason" with "false logic and rationalization". How many people who would call the real thinkers madmen truly understand the nature of their own delusion? How does it go... let one who thinks they are wise become a fool first, in order to truly become wise? I KNOW! PENGUINS!!! :tux: :tux: :tux:
:iconannieechann:
Perhaps if I explain myself a little.
I think that the minds of mad people are unpolluted with what the world deems as it's "right" and "wrong".. Given that they are trapped in a world of their own and in doing so, I suppose what you say is true.
But the wise in our eyes could be different to the wise in a penguins eyes! As is food, clothing and attitudes to Killer Whales!

Logic and reason depend upon assumptions we make about reality that cannot be proven by logic and reason. In other words, the basis for explanation cannot itself be explained. It is rooted in personal choice. The role of the existence or non-existence of God (presumably the source of true ideas of right or wrong) is one such assumption which logic and reason must follow but cannot by themselves explain. Those of the world who deny God use logic and reason to demonstrate their values; the fools and madmen in their eyes are those who believe in God, and are uncorrupted by secular ideas, just as those who believe in God believe the unbelieving world to be mad. Logic and reason are neutral, however; both sides can use logic and reason as tools to bolster their beliefs...

I guess I just wanted to defend the neutrality of logic and reason by my initial comment about your signature. What matters is whether the assumptions logic is based on are false or true, corrupt or pure... that's all.

Sorry if I just used a vast amount of unnecessary words explaining that. :hmm:
:iconannieechann:
No need to apologize, I understood perfectly (:

Logic is illogical in the sense that it cannot be explained to those who do not understand it. Those who are crazy change from eye to eye, depending on various backgrounds of the beholder and whatnot.
Nothing is assumed; much of what I say I think about beforehand.. Which may explain that I try not to point things that have no deeper meaning in them? Something like that.

A vast amount of unnecessary words is necessary somethings.
