βOxymoronβ
The word βoxymoronβ comes from a combination of the Ancient Greek words α½ΞΎΟΟ (oxΓΊs, βsharp, keen, pointedβ) + ΞΌΟΟΟΟ (mΕrΓ³s, βdull, stupid, foolishβ). So, it means sharp/dull; keen/stupid.
Thus, oxymoron itself is an oxymoron. :-]
Understanding words helps us understand ourselves, our mindβs origins, the building blocks of our perspective.

Itβs a hard time of year for many. A joyous time for many, too. May you all get to the other side of this holiday season peacefully and with at least one positive thing happening to you.

By its nature, online culture has, it seems, exacerbated the walls that separate us, created more distance, more perceived anonymity. Itβs sad and ugly, and I donβt know what the solution is.

Like no one sees you, no one is paying attention, no one cares. Like you could stop trying to create stuff and no one would even notice.

I swear we are living in the twilight zone. Imagine it being 1945 and you open up the newspaper and read this headline.

Saw the doctor yesterday. She told me there is a problem with my head, and the most clear-cut solution would be to simply remove it. Arrangements have been made for the surgeon to give me a call in the next couple of weeks.

Magic (a poem)
What is magic?
Magic is
That electric anticipation of a kiss:
The parting of lips,
The flow of breath,
Heartbeats accelerating
Into interweaving rhythm.
It is that touch of a fatherβs hand
To his sonβs shoulder,
Wise eyesβ¦

Those four countries are now allied, and itβs time we wake up and realise this. This war is different in form from the last world war, but it's war nonetheless. Wake up.

Sometimes it feels like the world is ending. I lie awake at night, and then just want to go straight back to dreamland after I wake up in the morning. But I have hope, too. This song is what came out of those emotions.
