- There is a use for haiku. They're wonderful tools for condensing emotion into 17 syllables; this making it easy to analyze and work with/around what's inside. The hardest part is writing the little boogers.
- The inferiority complex I struggle with is just a check on my habitual (though almost entirely unconcious) "I'm better then you" attitude. My vanity and pride need a vacation. A long one. In fact, can we just Fed-Ex them to some third-world-country and forget about them? I am so sick of (physically/spiritually) having my nose in the air one moment and wishing it would completely change shapes (or just pop off) the next.
- Perfect organization is impossible. Not only that, it's painful. Get used to it and learn to appreciate small imperfections.
- The importance of friends cannot be over-rated.
- God is God. I'm not. (i.e. this is the right state of affairs, because I'm not the one that's SUPPOSED to be in control!). He knows what He's doing. Yes, He planned this. He did not single me out just to see how long I can suffer. *grins* He loves me. And I love Him back.
- "I am a nobody, sent by Someone, to do something." God doesn't make mistakes.

Have you written Haiku? Please do share. I just made two but they are probably pathetic. {=0)
Yes, I've written some haiku. I started under protest because my proff in literature insisted - writing because others tell me to is something I struggle with. (although my proffessors don't know that yet, so SHH!)
I'll try to find one or two that I've scribbled down. Lets see yours too!!
.:: SPOILER WARNING ::.
When I write haiku, it's typically because I'm in a low mood and am trying to get rid of it. For this reason, they're typically pretty odd. On the bright side, I've yet to write one about cherry blossoms.
*searches for semi-normal Japenese-style poetry*
Yes, it's random and depressing. Despite all my reasearch, I've not hit upon a way to make 17 syllables sound bouncy...wish me luck in future! *grins*

You left a while back
Since then you've returned
But I don't know you
I don't know how to explain what I wrote and although it is 17 syllables I wouldn't be so sure it should be called Haiku. lol
Here's the hopeless attempts allthough I could go in depth when explaing both.

I don't have time to respond to the other post like I want to, it takes me a little bit sometimes. lol I'll get to it though.
You mentioned having a copy of every messenger. You also said you will try to always consider the fact I'm not a psycho. {=0) Do you by chance have Yahoo Messenger? If you do it would be great to talk on there. Easier on my mind too. lol Just let me know.
Good Luck with the bounciness.

typos suck!!
*laughing*
I wouldn't know, I don't make many typos. I do sometimes type like my Irish friends though! (i.e. spelling favorite as favourite or color as colour, etc)
Yes, I have Yahoo! Messenger. I got it because one of my sisters-in-law has it. I'll have to find the username, what's yours?
About Haiku - a haiku is any poem (doesn't have to rhyme) that has three lines with syllables as follows:
5 in the first line
7 in the second line
5 in the last line
It's that simple. I have never yet read a happy one though, so I think that they're naturally depressing. I'm going to try to change that, but so far I've had little luck.
*signing into Yahoo!Messenger*
I don't make many typos either that's why they suck!! Although you don't make many I have seen a few.....ahem! {=0) I'd also like to challenge you on that 100+ words a minute with no mistakes. I'd have to call you a machine.
You'll come up with a happy one, one day. Were mine considered Haiku?
My Yahoo name is sylentwitness go figure.
I can't sign on now but I'll try soon.
Busy nights till Morgan goes to sleep.
Jeremy
Yes, your haiku count. When did you write them? And why?
You're added to my list of pals, congratulations. I must admit that I scarcely ever use Yahoo!Messenger or my email address there, but it's fun. I'll try to remember to sign it in, but as I've had little success previous to now let me apologize in advance for only remembering to turn on my favorite messenger & completely forgetting Yahoo! (which I'll probably do with great regularity).
As for the typos I make - that happens when I'm not paying much attention or when I'm typing while lying down (i.e. NOW) and I forget to take more time then usual. Also, I'll sometimes use alternative (a.k.a. UK) spelling just because I spend so much time with my friends from there and that can be/is taken as spelling things wrongly. I used to be obsessive-compulsive about spelling to the point of checking anything I was uncertain about in Microsoft Word, but I cut that out about 6 months ago and have been "winging it" ever since. Apparently I wasn't ready to be weaned off the program.(??)

I wrote them after I read your bullet points. I had no idea what a Haiku was, found it to be very interesting and just tried.
please watch him with pride
growing up to live and die
propagate whats gone
That's about me, wishing someone would see me and be proud of what I have learned in this life while growing to die. I don't see myself amounting to anything until after I am gone. Beliefs, writings, philosophies, art, whatever it may be, I wish it to be spread when I am gone. Propagate.

I often think of the chaos to come in the future. The cycle has begun and cannot be stopped. Oursimple minds cannot think on a time scale that needs to be though on. One day this plaace will be in total chaos. People will still be here, the air will be poison, the universe will be broken and over. It can be called many different things depending on ones beliefs.
You just abruptly disappeared from Yahoo! which is cool. I didn't know it though because I type while looking down at my fingers. I really enjoyed our 'random' talk. I was looking forward to getting on that Haiku subject but there's plenty of time.
I'm very perplexed with the whole brother sister thing. 5 brothers, 2 girls that I know of and for some reason you are guarded about the rest of the girls. If it is anything that causes pain I am very sorry. If you were just being difficult well, fine! {=0)
You know I have MSN also if you prefer it and really would like to tease me on a regular basis. logical_chaos@hotmail.com
You are 'winging it' just fine with the spelling. I was teasing. When working I am very obsessive compulsive about spelling. I did QA on online courses for University of Texas Medical Branch and Texas Assosciation of Realtors. I also can't stand to read a professional news website like msnbc.com and see typos in the stories. It makes me so angry for some reason. It's strange. I just feel like they have enough money to be sure it is fone the proper way.
Nite...
me on the other hand, i'm broke...ypos galore here.

Boredom. What a wonderful thing at 2:45am.
Seeing how I only know the 5 7 5 rule and not much more as far as style goes I'm not going to feel too dumb posting these for you.
heaven is surreal
it exists in your beauty
until black death comes
a button will take
me places i cant dream of
just to return me
watch the moving clouds
contemplating why and how
minds run together
rushed emotions hide
let them replicate inside
full bloom is beauty
purple flower daze
funkdafied psychadelic
power to fly high
it wants to come out
suppressed for so long it hurts
bursting through the light
wicked consciousness
subconscious altercations
meditate, its free
still up fighting sleep
who still tries to count those sheep
they are all too old
angels come and go
they bring love joy and candor
thank you Lord for mine
*yawn*
nite
Sorry for disappearing "faster then a speeding bullet" last night. I'd completely forgotten that I asked Dad to set my internet up so that it flips off at 11pm in an attempt to forestall my staying up so late! I guess it worked well though (I ended up getting to sleep before 11.30), so I'm happy enough. Nonetheless, disappearances often warrent an explaination, so there you go.
As for the girls, I'm being randomly stubborn. It's not a painful subject. I'm not even sure why I'm doing it; but isn't that why the word "random" exists?
That may be why the 'word' random exists but is being random really lacking any definite plan or order? Being random may not be chance. I don't know. That's a confusing word.
It's cool about pulling your David Copperfield last night. I sometimes have that effect on people. They have to run away as fast as possible. I'm used to it.
My internet shuts off when I click Start ---> Turn off Computer.

I think that one warrants the gullible comment....
{=0)
Ach now it's unfair to say that I ran off. I simply have a system set up to keep me accountable and therefore productive. I'm sorry that I forgot to tell you about it, but now you know. I actually felt rather guilty about how swiftly I left, but that's is not unusual for me when I accidently give the wrong impression.
As for random - it's defined as "lacking a definite plan, purpose, or pattern". It's not quite relying on chance, it's more choosing to go with what you feel like doing at the time. I would define randomness as going on emotion instead of taking the time to think through consequences and plan things out. For this reason, it's something I only do in minor areas (i.e. writing). And you?
Cilla
And me... I just feel like Eeyore today, that's about all I know.
If you want me to attempt my thoughts on randomness I will try but it will probably make no sense to anyone but me.
I agree as to the definition meaning no definite plan but I do think 'random' relies on chance also. If I make a simple program that randomly pulls 10 numbers from 1 to 1,000,000 wouldn't the outcome be chance?
What I feel like doing at any given time is impulse. If it were randomness that were deciding, then there would be many chances of what I may feel like doing at any given moment.
Unfortunately my mind has been programmed to think of consequence. Consequence is something I do not like to run into.
My emotionally driven randomness is run off the road by my logic.
Please do not apologize to me for having to leave in a way that did not allow a more proper exit. {=0) You owe me nothing in a way of apology. I'm blessed to be able to talk to you for any amount of time.
lonliness astray

You didn't say anything about the others so I guess they weren't publishing material...lol but this 5 7 5 thing won't get out of my head.
add this "e" you know where..
thanks
