Won't you ease my mind?

[sweetsalome]

    Is anything ever really yours?  Have you ever really thought about it?  I mean, look around you.  Name one thing that you can truly possess, that isn't going to die, isn't going to fall apart.

People pass away, object break, get lost or stolen.  What is truly yours?  It's easy to not care about the material things, and sometimes, even people.  But when you give yourself the impression that something is actually yours?  Losing them is the scariest thing in the whole world.

Maybe Elizabeth Blake was wrong, the art of losing isn't easy.  It's just something we all get use to.

On a more metaphysical note, Jonba is asleep in a box.



Call me, call me,
Let me know it's all right.
Call me, call me,
Don'cha think it's 'bout time?

What are you scared of losing, princess? Don't worry, it will all be over soon, and you'll remember who truly loves you.


You'll never lose me.

Well like Murakami said nobody gets anything for keeps. Guess that's why you have live for the moment or whatever, carpe diem and all that crap.

Any reason why Jonba's in a box?

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Who is Murakami? I haven't heard of him before.

No clue. I don't know how I am going to get him out either.

[terry-crabtree.livejournal.com]

Haruki Murakami, he's a pretty popular writer over in Japan.

Well if he's sleeping couldn't you just lift him out? Or are you trying not to wake him up?

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

I will have to look him up!

I am trying not to wake him up, I am afraid to move him. Maybe the jaws of life. . .

[terry-crabtree.livejournal.com]

You should, I’d recommend him, though I’ve only read a few of his books.

Somehow I think the jaws of life, while helpful with the whole removal part of that operation, wouldn’t exactly be the best tool for the not waking him up part.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

What does he write about, fiction, or just philosophy?

Hmmmm I am beginning to see a flaw in my plan. Perhaps gentle extraction will work well, though I am tempted to just leave him there, like a puppy in a box.

[terry-crabtree.livejournal.com]

It’s mainly fiction. (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/104-1155775-6560717?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Haruki+Murakami&x=22&y=15)

The latter could work too kids are flexible like that; just throw a blanket over him or something and he’ll probably be fine.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Yeah but what if he's box shape when he gets up in the morning?!

Unfortunately, I cannot ease your mind on this, other than to say your thoughts are yours. They, too, though, are fleeting. It is the way of the universe. We are all temporary, even the immortal, because eventually the universe will end and all things in it will end with it.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

That goes with the song I was listening to! I know, I have weird moments where OMG the world is crashing down and heaven help us all. They all pass and the world continues on as normal.

Though that was cheerful!

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

I understand the impermanence of things. Much as I collect things, I know that they can all disappear in a moment. Or I will tire of them and sell them. People are more important to me. I want them with me for as long as I have in this world.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

You are better then most people. Some people just take what they want and then toss people and things away. They treat people no better then something they would buy at a store.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

People are far more important. Those who treat people as if they are things are empty inside.

[stillavillain.livejournal.com]

My, aren't you the enternal optimist? You've never used anyone for your own gain?

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

No, I have not. *The tone is glacial.*

[stillavillain.livejournal.com]

I find that hard to believe. Are you a liar like her?

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

I do not consider people to be insects as you do. I have never had a reason to "step" on anyone.

[stillavillain.livejournal.com]

Oh I don't think people are insects, not at all. I have no idea what kind of impression you have of me, but work very hard to lift up the people around me.

Not "step" on them.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Really. By intimidation? I do not calling that lifting the people around you.

[stillavillain.livejournal.com]

Who have I intimidated? I have quite the reputation, clearly you've been listening to her.

I wonder, is it the smile, or the fact that she'll fuck you whenever you want it?

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Of course I listen to her. After all, it is wise to listen to one's future wife.

Your daughter has a wonderful sense of humor, a beautiful spirit and certainly a gorgeous smile. I love her for who she is.

[stillavillain.livejournal.com]

Future . . . You make a mistake thinking you could decide something like that without consulting me, Mr. Nakamura. Despite what she may have told you, I am still head of this household!

She is a liar and a manipulator, the moment you don't give her what she wants she'll turn on you as she turned on me.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

She is 18, sir. The law allows her to make whatever decision she likes in all matters.

You claim she is a liar and manipulator, yet you are the one in jail.

[stillavillain.livejournal.com]

She's nothing more then a child, and you know that. Matters of the law are one thing, but if she wants what she believes is owed to her monetarily, then she will respect my wishes.

That was a misunderstanding, seeing as though I am now free, with the courts apologies. Isn't the American justice system amazing? It's only because of her that I was there in the first place.
