The world outside

E-speed has been down for almost 3 days now. And I'm trying to find alternative ways of entertaining myself. I might have to go....*gasp* outside.

My imaginary friend, Pyotr will be my guide. After opening the front door for the first time I was greeted by a blazing hot luminous ball of fire in the sky. It's radiance was burning my skin so I quickly went back inside, after catching my breath I asked Pyotr what the aforementioned blazing hot luminous ball of fire was called. He told me it was known as the sun. Hmm must research further.

After gathering enough courage, and after layers of sunblock I managed to venture outside. Pyotr thought that we should play a game. He gave me a long stick, with an oblong shape as it's 'head', it had a net of some sorts.Pyotr demonstrated to me how the game is to be played. We are to use the stick to hit a feathery object of unknown origin and deflect it toward each other. Very interesting and quite fun.

After Pyotr got bored of me sucking, he decided that our next activity would be to take a 'walk' around the 'neighbourhood'. During which I met other 'people' called 'humans' who look a little different than I do but act very similar. Must research further, could it be that this 'outside' harbors intelligent life? Me an Pyotr moved on until we reached a place called a 'shopping complex' and I observed that humans like to gather there and exchange little pieces of paper for food and other material objects. Pyotr told me, quite sadly that humans are forced to work themselves hard to obtain those little pieces of paper, sometimes to the breaking point but alas that is how the world works he added. I observed that humans tend to divide themselves into groups. Based on what clothes they wear,the type of music they listen to and how they behave. A particular group called 'emo's baffles me, they defy all rules of evolution, because they vie to self-destruct. And they seem to be hated by everyone. Must research further.I found that this 'categorisation' is sad and division always leads to hate and bigotry.

Oh I forgot to mention that there are two types of humans, male and female. They both are very different in terms of appearance but also very similar, as one of the 'rappers' always say, ya dig?Sometimes a male falls in 'love' with a female and if the female likes the male they will be called a 'couple'.This symbiotic relationship is highly baffling and often self-destructive. But it can also be, at the same time beautiful and full of meaning. I can safely say that I am male and 'single'. I notice that these couples tend to 'fight' over small and trivial matters, and sometimes even 'break up' over them. Quite sad really, because I personally think they should appreciate that they have someone to share your problems and thoughts with, someone to care for and have a deep connection with. Things that 'singles' lack in their lives.


It was time to head home. During the way we passed by a school. Pyotr told me that school is the most important time in a human's life. It is where they study and make friends. It is the veritable furnace where it is up to them to shape their own fate and futures.

I am tired and it is time to bring this thesis to a close. Humans are odd but great creatures, highly diverse and capable. Even with the great uncertainty in their lives and the curse of death, they go on with great hope and optimism. An admirable trait.

Manic but never lethargic
