There are somethings, some .. poems or phrases or words that I feel immediately drawn to. I don’t know how to put it, but it just captivates me and makes me want to keep it forever. But you see, that’s the best thing about prose, poetry or for that matter of fact.. any linguistic article — you can make it immortal. You may not succeed entirely, but that’s not to say it’s not impossible.

So, I came across this extract while checking my email. I love it to death. I even used it on AExA’s future layout (yepp I’m in the process of making a new one) But.. it’s taking time. Unfortunately, I don’t have that continuous access to the computer as I had before when I’m on a layout-making-spree (my cousins have taken over MY ROOM! — not that I mind heh) .. but it’s just taking longer than it normally does. Shadow will agree with me when I say that I might as just get bored with the many times I’ve just looked at it.. before the poor thing’s even brought to life.

Anyway, so let me muse. If I like something.. well if anyone likes something so much that they want to keep it forever and ever… what would that someone do? Print it out, laminate it? Put it somewhere safe? How do you ensure you that it’ll stay forever? How do you know you’ll even remember it? What if! What if when you’re 50 something, you start forgetting things? It’s so bizzare. How do you know, that your great-great grandchildren would find out? or even care to find out?

Ok, Ok. Scratch that part about the grandchildren — but what I’m saying is that.. even though you try to make something last forever, it doesn’t turn out that way. So, contrary to what I said earlier.. even though you try, even though it’s not impossible.. even though you’re not successful.. in the end, your entire life’s work might just go down the drain if someone so much as carelessly misplaced it — a painting, a story, an article. It’s plain frightening.

This is the culprit. It’s absolutely wonderful, long but wonderful.
