superpowerssss

wondering what to say....
words rise so quickly to the mouth sometimes and sometimes the only things that rise (to it) are utter rubbish!!
why am i posting this rubbish??
hehe...
i love the rain!!! when it's not wetting me!! Percy Jackson(if in any universe he was a real person) is so lucky: to be able to keep from getting wet and to be able to breathe underwater!! i wish i had a water related superpower.....any superpower would be fine actually. okay let's make a list...

• flying would be top!!!oh yeah:D
• superspeed: any kind!!!
• hmm...being able to breathe underwater and swim really deep
• hmmm...magic! this is generic, so maybe it should go top because then i can do all the rest too
• to be able to talk to animals
• telepathy
• invisibility: but actually it would be kind of pointless unless i was a criminal or a person who needs it for exciting adventures to fight evil scary monsters(sadly I'm neither).

i think the most useful power though would be to be able to control the weather..!!it would definitely make you the most popular superhero anyway!!;P

Time stealing...

Sessional time again...
I wonder why time passes so terribly fast when you're enjoying yourself and slows right down at the not-so-good times(cough, exams, cough).
I'm sure it's not as simple as our simply not noticing it. How could we just not notice time passing, having had it ingrained in us to count time since our earliest childhood? There's probably a secret group of people who steal other people's good times out of jealousy. Just as people can encroach on other people's land and steal their parking spaces, the Time-Stealers(?) steal the time part from the fabric of space-time. Terry Pratchettish stuff....
That's why bad times last longer.
I'm sure of it.

some paintings by van gogh

Starry night over the Rhone

Starry night

The Night Cafe

Not that I know anything worth knowing about art, but I had always thought the modern artishness of Van Gogh's paintings was not for me....but surprisingly when I came across these(Google Images...lol) , I loved them!

Especially the first one. It reminds me of something. Sometimes, these things can trigger your memory, making you feel as if you've been in that place or something like it, whether in a dream, or in a flight of imagination. You want to be there at all events!

His colours are so very vivid. Whether you like the paintings or not, I think the sheer jumpiness of it would definitely get under your skin! They leap right at you! 'Starry Night' especially, though from the outside I thought it looked like a kid splashing paints around for fun. Though the painting is anything but fun. What sort of thoughts must have been running through his mind to produce stuff like that!!

And he seems to have loved stars too...:)

Who's The Best?

It's as unstoppable as life itself. Man wasn't put on the Earth to exist singly. And no one could. Man is a social animal, after all. And with society comes strife, to constantly show yourself to be the best. To prove to others, in fact, that there is something different about you: something you have or do which your 6 billion planet-mates cannot match. Most people would feel something like this, in differing degrees of intensity. Why are prizes given at all to the best people in a certain field? Why else do advertising hoardings constantly read: "the No 1 brand " or "best in the world"?

And this comes out more in sports than anything else. In sports winning and being the best is the primary concern, for all the talk about 'sportsmanship'. Most successful sports stars show by their actions that they prefer to win dirty than not win at all.

Thinking of the Barcelona-Arsenal CL quarterfinal this week. As soon as a talented player like Messi scores 3 or more goals, the next day's news headlines read "Is Messi the best player in the world?" "Is Messi the best player EVER?". Whenever Rooney or Torres are in form, their managers, teammates, the press all join the chorus of "best striker in the world". While I am an ardent football fan, I wish they would button up sometimes. No magazine article can ever be definitive on such a topic. They just always end in more questions about whether you can compare between different eras, between different styles.

So why compare at all? Let's just enjoy the football, shall we?

The need to know...

i wonder what it feels like to know everything...to know everything about every single living thing in the whole wide world: all their habits, likes and dislikes, what has happened to them, what will happen to them. even though i usually like to know everything, it's scary to even think about! non-living things are somehow less scary for some reason. cos they're not at all unexpected. usually, anyway. living things always tend to surprise you! omniescience(did i spell it right?) is scary!

Look Up!!

Clouds!!!

*heart heart heart*!!
