Intro: Meet the Gang

This new post so far is planned to be the first of a 5 post story, about something that happened to someone, this first post will be like a character description plus some sort of prologue. Am gonna write the story in first person view, as I am not really good at writing in third person.
Anyway, here are the cast of the story;
Name: Damian
Age: 19
The main patron of this story, just an average guy. Not much to be said about him. And no, the picture inst an exaggeration, he does look too young to be 19.









Name: Sasuke-Guy
Age: 13 - 14
A Sasuke wannabe, used to ask people to even call him Sasuke before everyone started teasing him. He says hes "over" Sasuke, but everyone has there doubts, many thinks hes just in denial. Likes animes, video games, movies etc....and knows a LOT of girls. But hes like Sasuke in that he would rather do something else, then do something with all the girls that are interested in him. An overall ok cool guy, but sometimes a little....well how shall I say....do u know the song that goes something like "oooh Aaaaaim too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt, so sexy it hurts"....I dont really need to tell much more right?


Name: B1
Age: 12
The younger of the two bananas, why she got designated 1, was probably due to winning of some argument over who will be one. The silent loner type, except with her best friend B2. Known to get surprised easily, so approach with caution.

Name: B2
Age: 13
Almost the complete opposite of B2, hyperactive, talkative, known to be smart on some occasions (Well I guess if you shoot enough bullets at least one of them will hit the target). Known to get spooked VERY easily (I mean common its just a bunch of leaves). Very girly, worried about sand and mud and all that. B1 and B2 have been together since almost birth. Fun to spook and annoy.




Name: DM
Age: 13
First impression would be a thin, lost in her own world kinda girl, and you would be right on the most part. REALLY talkative online, but face to face....well lets just say, even a dead fish would say more. Of everyone....she has the most...well lets say "different" thoughts. Shes the kind that really talks the talk....but has a hard time walking the walk.





Name: Punk-Teddy
Age: 13
Not much to be said as much to still be known, included her here as she is in this story, and is one the gang.













Prologue
It was Sasuke-Guys birthday party night that I first met them, they were the only non family invitees save for one or two.
Sasuke-Guy introduced me to them, and told them I was 19, which they refused to believe until I threatened to show my ID card.
"Damn, this is boring, just a bunch of gossiping little girls" I thought as I sat there.
I tried very hard to start some sort of fun activity to make the party a bit more interesting, but I had a tough time getting there attention. B1 & B2 were going all blah, blah, blah, blah. DM was lost in her own world, and Punk-Bear was playing a Gameboy Advanced. I mean common this is a PARTY, you can do that stuff even at home, how lamer can kids get huh.
Finally after a lot of hard work, I was able to get there attention, but just as things got interesting, most of them had to leave.
"Just as I thought, a bunch of boring little kids with bed times"

To be continued.....

Happily Ever After....

…And then the prince rode the princess to his castle on his white horse, and they lived happily ever after.

What a load of crap!

Growing up, I am sure all of us have been greatly touched by these fairy tales, these tales of happily ever afters. We fill out minds with thoughts of princes and princes and heroic deeds that win over the fair maiden. As we grow up, our thoughts do become more realistic, but deep down we are still searching for that prince to take us to his castle that he built just for us, or to find out which “heroic” tasks will win over the maiden that will win over the maiden that we desire. So this we may live happily ever after with our “the one”.

Love is the ultimate source of happiness that everyone seeks, and since this post is about love (although it may at first have seemed to be about fairy tales:P), let me be very cliché and write the dictionary meaning of love. The Merriam-Webster online dictionary defines love as strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties (yes there are a few more, I am just listing the first one). This is just one of the definitions of love, if you search the internet you can find thousands more. I guess in the end, what love is, is just a matter of opinion.

Love is sacrifice, love is wanting to make someone happy, love is wanting to protect them, to make sure they never shed a tear. Love is doing everything in you power, just to see them smile. Love is being able to sacrifice what you want for someone else, and in the end be happy because that person is happy. Love is being there for someone, because it makes yourself happy. To love is not to regret the sacrifices you make, and to be by their side no matter what.

That’s what I can think of about love, I know there will be, many people who disagree with my definition of love, and many who will say such love doesn’t exist. I am not here to say, I am right, or to prove that such love exists, but only to say that, that is what I think true love is.

Deep down inside, most of us do have a fairy tale impression of love; that if we truly love someone nothing else matters, that everything else will be all right. And that we live happily ever after once we find true love. But the reality is far from this. Love isn’t about happy endings, fate, destiny, the one and all that shit. Finding love isn’t a happy ending, it’s only the beginning, of a constant battle to keep our happiness secure.

There isn’t any such person as the one, there are many people in the world that we can make it with, who we end up with depends on the actions and choices we make. Just because we really love someone doesn’t make everything work out, love doesn’t rise against all the winds of the world and triumph over everything.

I know I sound like a total cynic, but I am really a big believer of love. Of true love, that love is a great power that can fuel you and help you accomplish extraordinary things. Love is happiness, it is the ultimate joy. But it is not enough. You can truly love someone more than anything else in the whole world and still do a lot of crappy stuff. And that is when, love isn’t enough.

“What? Do I still love you? Absolutely. There's not a doubt in my mind. Through all my anger, my ego, I was always faithful in my love for you. That I ever made you doubt is the great mistake in a life full of mistakes. I can tell you that I love you as many times as you can stand to hear it but it doesn't set us free, all it does is remind us that love is not enough. It's not even close” – Life is a house - 2001

My Inspiration...

If I was asked what influenced my life the most apart from my parents, I would definitely have to say television and video games. Yes I know, people say that movies and video games especially these days are a bad influence. Watching TV and playing video games rots your brains and leads to violence and bad behavior and shit.

Some weeks ago I caught something of interest as my dad was watching the recording of the parliamentary meeting. “In other country’s it has been seen that the youth become violent due to violent video games and such, we need to do necessary investigations and take the steps needed to prevent this”. My first thought was “Hey idiot, keep your damn politics out of my video games”. I would also be one of the first people on the streets if they ever took steps against video games. Anyway point is, video games as well as television has developed a bad reputation, or at least has become a scapegoat for the reason behind youth violence and behavior.

It is true that especially over the past years, both the television (and by television I mean everything from series, movies, anime, cartoons, reality shows etc.) and video games have become both graphically violent and immoral. Many a time have drug lords, smugglers, assassins and many other criminals been made the hero or heroine of games and movies. And the amount of violence has escalated from just gunshots to decapitations and torture. But come on, it doesn’t take an IQ of a 160 to figure out that all that is wrong. That’s its just television and games, and that is where all that should stay. You don’t play GTA and go out and steal a car or start a fight, or kill someone. Or play Need for Speed and go start racing on the streets. Or watch godfather and start selling drugs or extorting people. I disagree that movies and games affect us in a negative way. Only a person who already has serious moral issues would go and copy all the crap they see. Its parents and society who really shape who we are, I have played and watched a lot of this stuff, and so have my friends….you don’t see us out stealing cars or selling drugs do you? I aint saying there aint a few wack jobs out there, who are stupid enough to do all that, but for the most part people don’t go around doing that.

A lot of who I am today, my values, my beliefs, my character I credit to television and games. Especially during the 6 months holiday I got after I finished my O’ levels, I watched and played a lot, and I mean a LOT, and I still do. And I will have to say, they didn’t rot my mind or make my behavior worse. They made me think more, and made me a better person. They inspired me. Even from movies that had all these criminals as heroes, I saw many important things such as standing up for your friends, looking after your family, courage. And especially from those really inspirations films I saw honor, doing the right thing, patriotism, freedom. Even from games you do learn so much, all you have to know is where to look. I see that working hard pays of, and that bad guys always generally lose:P, and to keep fighting for what you believe in, never giving up and so much more. Well ya there are some games like GTA, which really doesn’t portray anything good, (But are as fun as hell to play :D) but I still don’t think even those games lead to violence. We are who we are, we are brought up by our parents and society, who are given the job of teaching us right and wrong, and once that foundation is solidly laid, you can watch a thousand indecent movies or play a hundred violent games, and it wouldn’t change a damn thing .

“I would burn in hell to keep you safe”
-One of my favorite lines from The Godfather movies, which Michael Corleone tells his daughter-

Winning, Changes Everything!!!

14th June 2008 will surely be known as the most important date of 2008. Maybe even the most important date of many years to come. After more than 15 years of trying and failing, our boys finally did it, they brought home the gold!!!!

I've never been much of a football fan. I almost fell asleep at the first Maldives match of the SAFF championship. The only reason I didn’t was because I was at the stadium...and they were shouting real loud....who can sleep with them making such a racket huh?

And even in the final match, when people were making teams to watch football together, I got left out. Well I don’t really blame anyone; even I thought I would just be the party crasher at any football gathering. But even staying home alone, watching a little of the match...and chatting online a little....I was really psyched watching the match. I mean after all it was my country's team playing. Luckily I was watching the match when "2 kilo" scored the winning goal. The whole city exploded. Screams and drums could be herd all around. Even I shouted, even all alone in the sitting room. And when the match was finally over.....as my friend Arky said, we herd the true sound of a nation.

Now my misfortune of been all alone at home also meant I didn’t get to see any of the festivities of the night. I still regret that a lot. I hear it was awesome. I even saw a youtube video, I sooo wished I was there.

So the next day I had my fun.

I went out with Arky and his friends, the first part of the evening was a bit slow, but as more and more people started to travel the roads of male' it got more exciting. We walked the roads screaming at by passing motorcycle groups, pick-ups and Lorries filled with people. Finally we decided to go on a ride of our own. Even when my office called, I told them I had a headache...lol....no way I was leaving that fun and going to office. We waited near fizzes and tried to get a vehicle. But we had no luck getting one by calling for one. We waited for like more than half an hour, then finally we saw an empty pick-up coming with just about 6 or so people. We shouted for them to stop. What I saw next was awesome.....It was like a swarm of monkeys...we had like 18 people with us.....and we jumped over the side of a moving pick-up....well most of us did....I had to wait till it stopped hehe...I mean this was my first time even jumping over the side of a pick-up.

Then we travelled the roads of male' screaming and shouting and making various noises with dabiyas, and pot lids. I was one of the people with the loudest voices. We drove around for two hours. It certainly was very fun. We saw people singing on the streets....people dancing (I even jumped of the pick-up and joined the dancing for a while :D)...and even party's. We were screaming things like "mee aharemenge faharey, thangadey ah saabahey, 2 kilo ah saabahey, we are the champions, and even singing some songs....some that weren’t even related top football. It was all about making noise. By the time I came back home it was 11Pm and my voice was a bit sore.

I always thought our football team didn't have much in them. But they have certainly proved me wrong :D....they are now the heroes of the nation, everyone is praising them, pledging gifts to them. I'm also really happy they won. This is one of the most awesome things that have happened in a long time.

A most great thank you and congratulations from me to the Maldives national football team. You have united this nation as one, and have made us forget about our petty differences.

Lets keep This Up Shall we?

P.S. I know this will probably be the most common topic of posting these days, but I just had to post on this topic too. we beat this areas super power, both in football and many other ways. So no way even I, who almost fell asleep at the stadium, could miss writing about it.

Just Temporary.....

As some of you may know, I have been telling for a while that I am going to make my own site. I started and found that making one wasnt as easy as I thought it would be...xD. Especially without my VERY own computer I can look after on my own and sit at for as long as I want.

Well I still havent given up on making my website, I should get an awesome high powerd laptop by next month:D....then I should be able to work on that.

I was reading some blogs and I thought I really wanted to make one of my own. I did not really like my previous one any more so I decided to make a new one. I dont know what I will do with this once I make my website, but most likley this blog is just temporary...I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

Unlike the last blog in wich I wrote only my views, this time its gonna be my experiences as well as my views....I hope all of you finds something interesting here:)

And ya....I am pissed that it got Krimsonsolace with a K....some pinky b**** stole crimsonsolace.....and she hasn't even put anything on it:@

Well anyway lets see how this goes...

P.S. I've been re-watching my favourite anime Full Metal Alchemist, so I thought I would put something from it.
