Psychorner: Dreams


 Your dreams are dead.
                You want to know something rather shocking? Research has found that 100% of the people who follow their dreams have at some point died. You want to know something even more shocking? Research has found that 100% of the people who have drunk water at some point in their lives have died.
                The point I am laboriously obviously so making is that we’re all going to die. Ergo you can say that we are all already dead. Technically, that makes us walking corpses albeit without the desire to snack upon the craniums of ill-fortuned strangers or dance the Thriller at a moment’s notice. The bad news is that you have to accept that you’re going to be worm chowder at some point but the good news is that, as walking corpses, we have the benefit of not caring that much about death.

Psychorner: A Slice of Dreariness

An unsavoury saviour.
Makoto Shinkai sure has a way of making dreary scenes look incredible. 
                There are many dreary things in this world, some big and some small. Ones of the small kind are the kind that get swept under the rug in terms of memorability and overall personal contentment. Why? Because they’re little things that end up being ‘a given’ in our minds, deservedly so because having a shower shouldn’t be something you consider a personal achievement. The bigger dreary things in life are the things we complain about, things that take up a chunk of time and effort and are also generally unavoidable, usually coming in the form of a ‘commitment’ or that contract to harvest the souls of the restless. Look at your daily life and you will surely find several activities that fall bang perfectly in this category: a commute, long work hours, compulsory attendance, cleaning your room/house/cow, wrestling invading bears, wrestling invading beers, purely tedious work and so on. If there’s something in common in between the things sequentially mentioned above in a string of words known as a sentence, it’s that these are all things we generally dislike doing, and what is another way to say ‘dislike doing’? ‘Dread doing’.

Psychorner: 'Happiness'

The quotation marks are very important.
See, I went through all the effort of drawing this.
Disclaimer: These are my personal views, I am not a philosopher, this is pure philosofapping, I love talking to people and I love coffee (so, if you want to discuss this feel free to take me for coffee- please, I really want coffee).
                If I were to summarize my current state in life I’d say that I’m currently meandering about like Goku on Snake-way, in the fact that I have a pretty clear and dainty idea of where I have to go but have no clue about how I’m going to get there, how long it’s going to take or how many exotic snake-women I’m going to meet along the way. One of the things my current lifestyle propagates are meaningless contemplations regarding life, the universe and all that jazz, though I suppose I might feel bad for those who studied philosophy considering the fact that I can take a drunken morning off to ponderously ponder things in life – like the principles and ethics behind cheese – and can call myself a ‘philosopher’ based off the fact that I just think random thoughts a lot and then try to articulate it in a way to create the illusion of ‘making sense’ and then try to put it down in word so that it all comes across as some really deep train of thought and not as something I thought about while I try to summarize my current state in life.

Psychorner : Addictions

Of man and things.
                What are ‘addictions’? Well I suppose I’d say they seem like rather nasty things. Why? Well because they are ‘a dick’. Haha, get it? I’m sorry, please lower your gun.
