Two days until Anime North and I still don’t have my ticket.
No cosplays out this year either.
I haven’t contacted my friends, and haven’t responded to their messages, nor have I seen a good majority of them.
Sigh.
I need to get my shit together. Hopefully the next months of summer will pick up and things will get better. I’ll work it out by then.

songstion:

Cynic “Carbon-Based Anatomy”

Homo sapiens
And your carbon-based anatomy
The child you’re looking for
Is starved and lost, a memory

Drop the knife
Leave your arms behind
Just for a moment
Calm the mind
The longing never ends
Not while you’re human

What if you could hold
Your mother’s heart
Inside your hands
Would you seek blood again
Would you find the karmic thread

Drop the knife
Leave your arms behind
Just for a moment
Calm the mind
The longing never ends
Not while you’re human

Stop the clock
Drop the storyline
Just for a moment
Stop the clock
The longing never ends

Not while you’re human

“

“I’m sorry but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible; Jew, Gentile, black men, white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness, not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.

Greed has poisoned men’s souls; has barricaded the world with hate; has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge as made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost. The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in man; cries out for universal brotherhood; for the unity of us all.

Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women, and little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say “Do not despair.” The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.

Soldiers! Don’t give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you and enslave you; who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel! Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder! Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men—machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have a love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate; the unloved and the unnatural.

Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! In the seventeenth chapter of St. Luke, it’s written “the kingdom of God is within man”, not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people, have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy, let us use that power.

Let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfill their promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfill that promise! Let us fight to free the world! To do away with national barriers! To do away with greed, with hate and intolerance! Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness.

Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!”

I try to live my life for the message this speech holds, I read this and tears pour down my face as I know that it will never happen.

You probably won’t see this for a while, but maybe you’ll stumble upon it one day.
I just wanted to let you know that no matter what, I’m always going to be here for you. I know right now is a really tough time, but I’ll be here to help you when you need it. Anytime you need to talk or get something off your chest, I’ll be here to listen.

I know that you want your solitude and space, and I respect that. Don’t be afraid to let me know. I’ll give you all the time you need. I know I may make things harder for you sometimes, and that I may be overbearing, but I only have good intentions and I hope you understand that. If you’re distant, I’ll know that it’s only part of your way of dealing with things. I won’t pressure you into taking my help, but I’ll stand by and be around if you choose to come to me.
Just know that no matter what, everything will be okay. I know you’ll work things out on your own, and that this is something that only you can come to terms with by yourself. But I’m still here if you need someone to talk to or just be there for you.
Stay strong.
