What we don't Know

Hey welcome back to the blog.
First off: I would like to address the title of the blog. I am thinking about changing it, as I have changed and so has the purpose of the blog; not drastically... but enough to rethink the little things in life, you know? The blog title being one of them. So please, let me know about what you think about the matter.

Onward...
Don't make a girl a promise, if you know you cant keep it. That is a classic Halo quote right there (nerd!). This is something that has been bothering me for a while.... We all make mistakes, we all make promises that sometimes we can't keep... but sometimes I think that we make these promises for immediate benefit and trust instead of long-term relationship building.. that we make blind promises that we know that we will probably forget about. What I think about the matter is that as long as you are completely sincere in your promise and make your legitimate best effort to keep the promise then it doesn't really matter if you fulfill that promise... because sometimes it's just downright impossible. Just try you're absolute best to keep the promise... most of the time if you try your best and the promise isn't totally absurd then you should be fine. For Example, you make a promise to never say a certain word again. Odds are, you will blurt it out (and because karma is a bitch, at the worst moment possible). I think this is especially true to the opposite gender or whatever gender suits your fancy. When you are blinded by love, you will say or do anything... which could include promises you know you can't keep. Hence the quote from Cortana, "Don't make a girl a promise, if you know you can't keep it". Don't get too far ahead of yourself. Know your limits, reach those limits, then expand on those limits... never try to exceed those limits. Try your best to keep every promise you make... you owe yourself and whoever you made that promise to at least a honest and sincere effort. Try your best not to make stupid promises either... ones you know you can't keep. One's you make blindly for immediate trust and benefit, not looking at long-term trust and relationship building. Something that always should ring in everyone's head is that we are characterized and we are defined by what we do when no one else is watching, when no one else cares. When you are not trying to impress someone... you should be trying to impress yourself.

War... War never changes. Inspiring words ringing from a game very close to me, Fallout 3. In a sense, this makes a lot of sense to me. War will always happen, and at its very core, take away all implications, its still war. These soldiers bleed for their cause... War will never change... is solidified peace obtainable? 

What or who would you make sacrifices for? The one's you love... who or what do you feel so strongly about that you are willing to bleed for it/them. You are willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice. Basically, what is your true passion? What can make you feel completely different and passionate about something that nothing else can? Would you do what Goku did, and protect those who you will never meet, out of the goodness of your heart? Sorry about going overboard with the references today, it just makes sense to me.

So what do you think... do you think that war will change? That at its core, war... take away all technologies and implications, will change? Personally, I think that war won't change and sorry to say, I'm pessimistic about war ever stopping. It's going to be the end of us, one way or another. What I remain optimistic about, is how these wars will be fought, or even how we will stop some of these wars from happening in the first place. War is brutal the way it is now... death, violence, destruction, extremely cost-heavy. Maybe one day war won't be fought with violence, but with words... I doubt it but its a possibility and you have to remain optimistic about that. Also with the efforts around the world from countries like Canada and Norway, maybe we can prevent some of these wars from starting in the first place... maybe war is just natural. At some point, we are going to over-populate the Earth and maybe war is human-instinct to stay alive... the irony in that eh?

Remember, this is all opinion. This is what goes on in my head... well this is the end product. There's a straightening process with the hurricane that is my thoughts :P

So just a quick update on the songs I have been trying to record and post... One is almost done! It takes a lot of time to record a version I am satisfied with... I expect a lot from myself so it probably takes a lot longer than it should. I am by no means talented, but I want to shake it up a little.

Song of the day is by Linkin Park and Shinedown. Linkin Park's song is Shadow of the Day off Minutes to Midnight (im sure you have heard it) and Shinedown's song is I'll Follow You off Amaryllis
Linkin Park: Shadow of the Day


Shinedown: Ill Follow You


That's it. Thank you for reading and hopefully listening... I wonder if people even listen to the songs...

Remember... compliments help every now and then..

I fucked up

Ciao

  1. I think you should change it; this blog has evolved and the "Cold Day in the Sun" is now officiallly irrelevant to what you are trying to convey here. it also does not reflect the themes anymore, because your earlier topics seemed darker in nature, and now although still darker, they are slowly shining through into something that is "brighter and lively".

    If you want a suggestion, try to make posts dedicated to a happier topic as opposed to a topic that others might not find so pleasant. sometimes people need a bright topic or a happy topic to cheer them up. and why not try to make these people's day better?
    write a short 4 line poem about pie or something that everyone loves, such as transformers. i think you get the gist of what im saying
    But i will read on regardless because i love this damn blog!
