There are many paths and I can only take one. There is a path that I find the most intriguing. The path is filled with much overgrown life. I cannot see what lies several meters ahead of me, but I can see at the distance and obstacles to reach the destination of this path. The reward seems minimal for the tasks to reach it. The path is filled with weeds that require hard work to weave and cut through. Then there is a large forrest of thorny vines that contain a poison called, "Hopelessness." I need much persistence to have any chance of passing through.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the forest, there is a large bog, which I must wade through, requiring much focus or I will be drowned. After the bog I see what looks like a giant labyrinth made with confusing twists and turns, but with patience I know I can pass. Alas after labyrinth I see a band of thieves and muggers. I know with respect, understanding, and vigilance. They will allow me or even guide me to the path I must follow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally what seems like the last task, I see a knight wearing a suit of armor made from mirrors, and a sword with a mirror polish. I must defeat him so I can have him as an ally in impossible times. For I know he is the only person I can depend on if no one else will come to my aid. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I must decide if I dare undergo this trial.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-6513739365696445774?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/6513739365696445774/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=6513739365696445774' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/6513739365696445774'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/6513739365696445774'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2011/11/path-of-growth.html' title='Path of Growth'/><author><name>Shang Tirips Doog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12871601063020420834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j8En_CrCpe0/SIgyHNhsdZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Gy9XDKfqg08/S220/Black+and+White%3B+Blood+and+Tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854710617128357322.post-4730133868673300019</id><published>2011-11-08T13:38:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-08T13:38:17.035-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Days Gone Bye and Good Riddance</title><content type='html'>I look back into past and I see good times and some not so good times. It is a shame that my bad memories stand out much more than my good. Especially ones that ruin a friendship or the thought of some that were once close. The past has taught me much of the path of life I am currently taking. I have someone very special in my life now and I am very happy. I pray that we will always be happy. She tells me that I am her world; to me she is mine. The question is, "If you could turn back time to change anything, would you?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My answer is definitely not, although I know I made a lot of foolish mistakes in my life, I know without them I wouldn't be here with my dearest love. Although I have a lot of unanswered questions, I am glad it's over. Life has been a large roller coaster for me, but it's the best roller coaster I have ever been on. I am glad to have someone to hold my hand on this unpredictable ride.

All I could think about was her... I wish she could see me like this. Would she take pity on me now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Light penetrated to my eyes. Everything is starting to clear up, now I just have to get out of the smoke. I slowly crept out of the rubble, and a chilling breeze wrapped around my body and wounds. Out of no where, it started to snow. I laid on the cold road staring at the falling snow from the heavens. I closed my eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found myself reliving last Christmas Eve. I tried to tell her that I would be okay and tried to make her see reason. I was leaving for the Army in a couple of weeks. My occupation was going to be the 75th Rangers Infantry, if I qualified. Alas I remembered her crying... Before I knew it she had me out of her house wailing, " I don't ever wanna see you again! He was right! You never loved me!"Slowly I opened my eyes. I found myself covered with snow. My body ached as I rose to my feet. I looked to the trees past the burning debris. I saw the girl's body still hanging there suspended by her piercings. Her face is now all mangled and stretched, but her dead eyes were fixed at where I laid. I scanned at the fiery wreckage, and saw the charred body of the monster that almost killed me. Then I saw my crosses laying close the inferno. I quickly went to retrieve my crosses, so I wouldn't get burned. As I picked up my crosses, I glanced at the charred carcass one more time, but this time I saw no head. The head was gone! I looked around quickly while holding my crosses and knife. I suddenly heard a something scramble towards me. I turned around and saw the disembodied head of the monster crawling towards me with arachnid-like legs attached to the spinal cord. It's mouth gnashed it's teeth. It's eyes wild with anger spouting bloody tears, and mouth poured out blood.My instincts took over, as the creature drew close, I punted it's vile being back into the wreckage. A loud shrill of anger  and pain came from the flames. The head writhed in the blazing wreckage. Suddenly it sprung out of the flames sailing towards me. I swung my blade in straight vertical line while ducking. Next thing I heard were two plops on the ground. I looked at was was behind me. Two halves of the head; severed by my blade. I plunged the blade into the snow, and pulled blade from the snow slowly. The blade was cleansed of the creature's blood leaving a spot of red snow. &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-797339749083574183?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/797339749083574183/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=797339749083574183' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/797339749083574183'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/797339749083574183'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2011/09/vinushkapt-ii-red-snow.html' title='....Vinushka....Pt.

So much has happened to me this month. So much more than I expected. So many first time experiences have happened. It's been a very long time since I prayed to God, and for that I am ashamed.This month I was able polish off some rust collected on my warrior skills. I have dusted off my archery skills and polished my skills with the sword. Unfortunately I am still very much a novice in both aspects. But what I have really been lacking at is my self-discipline, motivation, and willpower. I am suppose to ready myself for the Army, but I have not the motivation to train myself. Perhaps I will soon.But the best of all that has happened all this month that I have found someone to share my love with once again. Our meeting was a very casual ordeal. But our bonding was the most interesting. I am fascinated that I didn't scare her away. But truthfully I wonder what was it that set off the flame in our hearts?I never thought I would end up here, but this is a good thing. It's funny how everything seems to change once you find that one thing you have wished for in your entire life. What can be said about love that has not been said?Let's see what next month brings forth....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-163264061359792167?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/163264061359792167/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=163264061359792167' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/163264061359792167'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/163264061359792167'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2011/08/love-before-final-day.html' title='Love Before the Final Day.'/><author><name>Shang Tirips Doog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12871601063020420834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j8En_CrCpe0/SIgyHNhsdZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Gy9XDKfqg08/S220/Black+and+White%3B+Blood+and+Tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854710617128357322.post-7703961536588564253</id><published>2011-07-17T03:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-17T04:16:14.425-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A Chance to Be at the Calm</title><content type='html'>Think light not dark, that's what she told me. &lt;br /&gt;Let my mind orchestrate a masterpiece,&lt;br /&gt;With optimism as the maestro,&lt;br /&gt;The clacking of the keyboard and scratching of the pencils and pens; the instruments.&lt;br /&gt;Let the words that are printed and engraved on paper be the notes,&lt;br /&gt;And finally, wherever I take you...

Then he went away." Matthew 25:15&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lately I been trying studying for the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). Apparently I need to retest because the past two times I tested, I still didn't score high enough to qualify for the 75th Rangers. Now the ASVAB is pretty much a knowledge based test and is not very difficult at all. But what frustrates me is that for the past two times I was very confident I scored very well. It's like one of those things you thought you were a natural at. I felt very confident at the answers I chose and I thought I was set to almost any career I wanted in the ARMY. Well test scores came and I scored, to my standards, a very disappointing score. Now I scored above average. So my score was actually pretty decent. But I was hoping for more.&lt;br /&gt; Well my latest score is a 61, and my GT score was 104. I need to raise my GT score to at least 110. So here goes my rant:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know people who are naturally born with a sort of talent. Something that they pick up almost instantly. Well I am not one of those people. I wasn't blessed with a talent. Everything that I seem to have some form of competence in, I had to work on it. I worked hard, but it was fun. Things I liked, I did what I had to do to gain a bit of skill in it. But as I grew I found I wasn't the best at anything anymore. What I worked so much in was meaningless. So I have become humbled by all the "enlightening" lesson of life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There is always a bigger fish," I have remembered that phrase for the past 12 years. But sometimes I just want to say to myself, "Can't I, at least, be the biggest fish for this one thing?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But maybe this is the best way in life. Not having anything given to you, but you have to work to get what you want? Maybe this will make me the better one in the end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nonetheless, starting with nothing is very frustrating and seemingly unfair, but perhaps the reward is worth all the labor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what really doesn't help is that I have developed a sense of lethargy and indifference for life.

I always have.&lt;br /&gt;As I was looking through one of my friends pictures of her children, I was reminded about my wishes to have children.&lt;br /&gt;But the certain is pretty uncertain. &lt;br /&gt;I will be in the Army, and if all goes to plan, then it's very likely I will face some combat tours.&lt;br /&gt;This reminds me of a quote from the movie "Major Payne"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; “I always figured if the Marines had wanted me to have a wife they’d a issued me one.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It gives me a chuckle to hear that, but to me that sounds about right. I figure that I will be too caught up in the theater of combat, I will have no time to search for "true" love. But perhaps it will find me instead.... Then again love finding me didn't work out too well last time. But there are always 2nd chances. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There I go ranting about something off topic.&lt;br /&gt;Having a child would be nice.

Me?</title><content type='html'>So the deal is I bought me some new tools to work with. I am quite excited to receive them. This, however, reminds me of a customer I had on Friday evening. He told me about somebody winning the Powerball Lottery, he said he would have loved to have that money. It was something like 200 Million dollars. I thought about what money would mean to me. To me, money is the key to luxury. It makes life easier, but I know it's not a real necessity. It's a given I would use the money to help my family and friends. Then I would donate the majority to trusted charities, medical research programs, and missions. Then whatever was left over I would spend on some of my wants and save the rest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that I look back, I remember all money spend the toys and action figures spent on me when I was young. Then I remember weapons I have bought over the past few years. Now I think, was it all necessary? Some people might say, "If didn't have those things on you, then you just wouldn't be Chih." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that really has me thinking... Am I a materialistic person? Do these tools make me who I am? Do people know me by them? I also remember one of my classmates in my Journey to Careers class. We didn't talk much at all, then one day she asks me about my knives. I was shocked she knew something like that about me. She mentioned some guys who talked how great I was with a knife. How I was a good knife fighter and I can do all those fancy tricks. In reality, I know my way around a knife, but I am far from an experienced knife fighter. Hell, I even cut myself recently with one of my blades. And I don't know any tricks with knives. I just know how to fix and rig some blades. One more thing, I didn't even know these guys who bragged about me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if you take away all my tools then who would I be? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who is Chih? Am I a materialistic person?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-4851476114843929437?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/4851476114843929437/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=4851476114843929437' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/4851476114843929437'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/4851476114843929437'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2011/06/materialistic-me.html' title='Materialistic?

When I read the lyrics to this song. I feel like she was trying to convey something to me. I have mixed feelings about the song. I love the song and all. But I struggle with it because of her. Haha perhaps I am reading to much into this. Yes everything heals with time. I think I am getting stronger. Of course I still hurt when I see her or hear from her. Like whenever I got texts from her last week, I suddenly felt shocked and at pain. I remember I couldn't concentrate and my stomach really started to hurt. I just wanted to go home then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friends do make everything better though. There's a lot I wish to say and stuff, I want someone to listen and vent to. But perhaps this is the best way. So I don't annoy that someone. Then again, who knows? Perhaps it's best to keep personal things; personal. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also realized a while back my entries coincide with my emotions and personal life.&lt;br /&gt;I realized that whenever I am depressed, I, of course write about depressing stuff, but that's not it. I tend to put out more entries. I MAKE time to write, because I usually don't have the time. This brings back memories of the Myspace days during my high school freshman year. Also my style writing is that of the romantics.

He just made a comment; wanting June 13th to arrive faster. That's when he ships out to boot camp. He feels there is nothing for him here anymore. &lt;br /&gt;Truthfully I can't blame him, I feel there is nothing in the civilian life for me anymore. Of course I have family and friends, perhaps they are the reason I am still kicking. It's just that I am still somewhat stuck on my past relationship, and it's hard to let go. I am sure I will get over it. Everything will be okay, it always turns out that way. I've lost a lot of enthusiasm for life, I don't mean to sound suicidal at all. I just don't really care about a long life. Who wants to live forever? Wouldn't that be a curse? You see so many of your loved ones die, then you make new ones; then they die. The cycle continues forever until you somehow get utterly destroyed. &lt;br /&gt;I always keep saying, I am going to start working out, but now I lost the motivation for it. But I am sure this feeling of lethargy will pass. But if it doesn't pass soon I will definitely be hitting the grinder. It just sucks to exercise alone. No motivation. But perhaps that's what I need to get used to. &lt;br /&gt;I've been praying a lot lately, for God to remove my emotional attachment, peace, and for me to just finally let go.&lt;br /&gt;I believe she is a sweet woman, she deserved better than me. I keep praying for her happiness. Truth be told I am not entirely what happened. She told me I was the 2nd best thing that ever happened to her; the 1st is her daughter. I was told it was nothing my fault. But truthfully, why would it end then? Can you truly lose the "feeling of love"? I wonder a lot, was it truly love she had for me? Or was it infatuation and... Well, never mind that. &lt;br /&gt;I am glad we are friends, but I keep catching myself from calling her, "Love".&lt;br /&gt;I wonder if she still wants to write me while I am in the Army? I somehow doubt it. It would be nice if she did, but it makes me wonder if she's ready for the days that the letter will never return? I've asked that about her before, she teared up.&lt;br /&gt;Let me drop that subject. &lt;br /&gt;Makes me wonder if she ever reads this? She said she would bookmark it, but who knows? Maybe this is a way I can convey my feelings to her. I hope she doesn't get pissed or feels... Well, I won't mention it. I hope one day she will tell me the whole truth, even though it might not be pleasant.  &lt;br /&gt;But you know this writing is very liberating. I am not sure if there is anyone that likes reading this garbage I write. I am sure they read this, and say, "This garbage is childish and annoying," and perhaps it is. But it kinda frees me. &lt;br /&gt;The good old days, when Love was just from the family. And there was no feeling of being lost. &lt;br /&gt; In a way, I've had it, I am bitter again. I sometimes just want to shout and shift blame to everyone I know, and tell them "Watch me fall."&lt;br /&gt;Wow that was just childish.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-5083509181675367610?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/5083509181675367610/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=5083509181675367610' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/5083509181675367610'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/5083509181675367610'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2011/03/its-really-time-to-let-go-so-watch-me.html' title='It&apos;s Really Time to Let Go, So Watch Me Fall.'/><author><name>Shang Tirips Doog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12871601063020420834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j8En_CrCpe0/SIgyHNhsdZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Gy9XDKfqg08/S220/Black+and+White%3B+Blood+and+Tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854710617128357322.post-9017798924954118271</id><published>2011-03-13T01:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-03-14T20:30:59.448-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Plastic Lines Bought Us Back</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/wVuUAqXsXJw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The curtain of silence has been lifted. &lt;br /&gt;But we are no longer the same.&lt;br /&gt;There is no more intimate love. &lt;br /&gt;We are bought back together as friends.&lt;br /&gt;But deep inside of me, I still love you.&lt;br /&gt;My heart is still heavy.&lt;br /&gt;I wonder if you feel it too?&lt;br /&gt;Plastic; it was what made us one. &lt;br /&gt;The other men you now "Love" I hope you are happy.&lt;br /&gt;In time I will return to peace.&lt;br /&gt;I just wished I knew you were lying to me.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-9017798924954118271?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/9017798924954118271/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=9017798924954118271' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/9017798924954118271'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/9017798924954118271'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2011/03/plastic-lines-bought-us-back.html' title='Plastic Lines Bought Us Back'/><author><name>Shang Tirips Doog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12871601063020420834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j8En_CrCpe0/SIgyHNhsdZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Gy9XDKfqg08/S220/Black+and+White%3B+Blood+and+Tears.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/wVuUAqXsXJw/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854710617128357322.post-1717596587596823526</id><published>2011-03-01T03:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-28T21:48:47.107-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Moving On</title><content type='html'>Finding out that you found someone other than me really destroyed me.&lt;br /&gt;I wished you would have told me. &lt;br /&gt;Isn't that what friends do?&lt;br /&gt;Didn't you want to be friends?&lt;br /&gt;Alas, I am glad you are happy and complete now. &lt;br /&gt;I am sorry I didn't do either of those for you.&lt;br /&gt;Did you lie, when you said I did?&lt;br /&gt;What happened?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the end, you are happy, that is all that matters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am now taking inventory.

My mother tells me I shouldn't be sleeping on it, because it has bad Feng-Shui. Apparently because the door entrance has direct view of the sofa. I guess the door is a gate way for supernatural beings and powers to channel through. Nonetheless I've been getting sooo many dreams because of this sofa and "Feng-Shui."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Maybe I should experiment on this more?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     So, about two weeks ago, I dreamed I was at Basic Training in some military force. I was with a friend who has his life set on being a Marine. Funny thing is I am set on being in the Army. Anyway we were both training and next thing I know we are both in one of the Middle-Eastern countries. We were shooting our rifles, side by side, into a plume of smoke. Then a land mine exploded right between us. We both were still standing like nothing had happened. We just kept shooting. Then we both noticed we were bleeding like rain. But we just kept fighting. Then a legion of nights came charging at me. I killed a few with my rifle and picked up one of their swords. With my left hand I used my rifle and with my right hand I decapitated a few of my foes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     This past Saturday, I dreamed I was on a bed laying down waiting for someone. A woman with black hair with large streaks of blond walked in, dressed all provocative. I got on bed and next thing I know I was strapped to a chair in an interrogating room. The woman was pouring buckets of water over me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     The next day, I was in bed with the same woman. At least I think it was her. We were in love and did the what a married couple would usually do on their honey moon. I ran my finger down her back. Her skin was so indescribably soft and smooth. I actually think I felt a hint of what love really is. I only wished I could have seen her face. Her long beautiful hair was concealing it. Then my alarm clock rang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     After shutting off the alarm, I went back to bed. And I dreamed about being in a large college, looking a couple that I called, "My Two Woes." The halls were crowded, but I continued to look for them. I had a friend who I couldn't make out, who accompanied me. I kept saying to my friend, "I am looking for My Two Woes."&lt;br /&gt;Then I got a tap from my shoulder, and it was them, the Two Woes. They were girls I actually knew in real life. I sang one of their names and gave her a big hug. Then I was greeted by an another alarm.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-374652221087540421?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/374652221087540421/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=374652221087540421' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/374652221087540421'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/374652221087540421'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2010/10/my-dreams-theyve-got-to-kiss-because-i.html' title='My Dreams, They&apos;ve Got to Kiss, Because I Don&apos;t Get Sleep, No..'/><author><name>Shang Tirips Doog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12871601063020420834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j8En_CrCpe0/SIgyHNhsdZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Gy9XDKfqg08/S220/Black+and+White%3B+Blood+and+Tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854710617128357322.post-5946287648499631645</id><published>2010-09-27T21:07:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-27T21:11:24.145-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Wow ,You Move On Fast.</title><content type='html'>Yeah after looking at our old photos, not on Facebook.

Supposedly when a girl is about to leave you for another man, you are suppose to hold on to her tighter??? What about if I truly love you, I will let you go? And I see you sooo much happier with the other guy than me. So isn't letting go a good thing? Then you come tell me I am suppose to hold on to you. Why should I do such a thing, when you are wanting to leave me anyway? The reason I let you go is because I am looking out for your happiness! Not because I am indifferent. I really do care and it really really hurts every time I see you!&lt;br /&gt;Bleh, this is just a reflection of the past 4 years. I've seen so many movies with the same same old cliche love situations. It seems like girls try to go for that kinda situations, but whenever I try to provide that exact fantasy, I am told that I need a reality check. Ah teenage angst and hormones. I can't wait to be rid of them.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-2710131504199702299?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/2710131504199702299/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=2710131504199702299' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/2710131504199702299'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/2710131504199702299'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2010/09/mixed-signals.html' title='Mixed Signals'/><author><name>Shang Tirips Doog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12871601063020420834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j8En_CrCpe0/SIgyHNhsdZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Gy9XDKfqg08/S220/Black+and+White%3B+Blood+and+Tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854710617128357322.post-3514377081284424733</id><published>2010-08-21T23:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-22T08:39:10.594-07:00</updated><title type='text'>This is also the reason I stay up so late.</title><content type='html'>I struggled to sleep Friday night. So I just decided to lie as still as I could. That seemed to do the trick. Next thing I knew, I thought I awoken. I could see everything, but I was paralyzed. I couldn't move at all. I knew it must have been one of my Sleep Paralysis episodes. Of course I had the usual symptoms, hearing frightening noises, difficulty breathing, and seeing very frightening hallucinations. So what ensued in this episode was as frightening as my very first.&lt;br /&gt;   The first thing I noticed was the awkward position I was sleeping in. I was all contorted. From waist down, I was completely laid flat, but my upper torso was turned to the side. This has gotta be bad for my spine, but of course, I couldn't move. Then I started to hear white noise and static. Eventually the static turned to moans of pain and pleasure. Eventually blood curdling screams, overlapped the moans. I think my subconscious must have re-opened my audio memory from that Suicide Mouse video. Yeah I was scared. &lt;br /&gt;   Next, I saw strange floating objects, they moved a little closer. They started to smell and drip. Then I saw what they really were. Floating decaying decapitated heads. It seemed all the heads were ripped off their bodies very violently. Some heads still has their spinal cord attached. Predator? Well not long after their bodies rose up from the floor. All them pointed at me and started to stagger towards me like zombies. Then the heads opened their eyes and mouth, and started to chatter or grind their teeth. &lt;br /&gt;   Next thing I know they disappeared into the shadows. Suddenly I felt as if I couldn't breath at all. When I went to look at my body, I was then completely laying flat. On my chest there was an older woman sitting on it. She smelled like tar and coal. Her hair was black, but it seemed to snaked down her body. Of course she was naked. I don't really wanna describe what her body looked like, all I'll say it had maggots crawling and squirming all over it. I really didn't know what language she spoke, but I just knew it was about my body. She started stroking my head, neck, and chest. Then she groped my chest. This was when I really struggled to move. Of course nothing worked. Out of no where I woke up.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-3514377081284424733?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/3514377081284424733/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=3514377081284424733' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/3514377081284424733'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/3514377081284424733'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2010/08/dreaming-used-to-be-thing-i-looked.html' title='This is also the reason I stay up so late.'/><author><name>Shang Tirips Doog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12871601063020420834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j8En_CrCpe0/SIgyHNhsdZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Gy9XDKfqg08/S220/Black+and+White%3B+Blood+and+Tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854710617128357322.post-3427399358269849419</id><published>2010-08-09T00:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-09T00:39:47.892-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Please No More</title><content type='html'>I just don't want to go back. &lt;br /&gt;I don't want to see those tears.&lt;br /&gt;Your lamentations just destroy me. &lt;br /&gt;The words, "I Love you," written in your own blood.&lt;br /&gt;Why?

So many unanswered questions. So little time to ponder. In a way I am losing my head. I haven't been thinking clearly. I haven't been aware, vigilant, and my reactions have been slow. Maybe it's due to the lack of sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I just recently finished the first season of my favorite anime. I am actually starting to resent the whole series now.

It was only last week I saw that circle. I wonder... I need to see it again...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is less than a week to prepare for another change in my life. I have to thank you, if I haven't met you then I would have cut myself off from many. I am glad my friends didn't hangout with me that last night at the convention, or else I would have never met you. If you read this. I am not sure anymore.

She was laying right next to me. I just couldn't stop thinking about her. She was amazing, her body was amazing. Her blond hair; sleek as silk. Her voice entrancing as a siren's. I just had to feel her hands once more. It was slimy and warm. Slowly my thoughts of her faded away as my eyes grew heavy. The warm radiance of her still warm body gave me comfort. I fell into a dream.&lt;br /&gt;Darkness was everywhere. I ran back and forth, there seemed to be no end of it. Then as I turn my head, there was shadowy figure behind me. This shaded figure was dressed in a shady robe and hood. A small quiet voice came from this shade, "Why?" it asked. It was a woman. The she droned on the question. As I started to lose interest, her tone shifted, it sounded as if she was in despair.    &lt;br /&gt;"Why? Why??? Why?! Why?!!!" the hooded woman prayed. She then turned and screamed to me, "Why have you done this to me?!" &lt;br /&gt;She removed her hood, and then she gouged out her eyes. She pulled a mirror from her shady robes and shattered it by repeatedly smashing her fists into it. Her hands were mutilated. She picked up ten small; blunt shards and shoved them each of them into her finger nails, and pried them. She then took larger; sharper shards and stabbed them through her cheeks, into her eye sockets, and through her eyes lids. She attempted to blink, and the shards of glass ripped a deeper gash on a her eye lids. She took the largest and last shard of the mirror, and then pierced her belly; and with it, she ripped stomach her chest and started to pull out her entrails. She then carved open her chest and snapped each ribs with her hand. She then stabbed the exposed heart. She slowly crawled to me and begged,"Only you can set me free! Please!" I felt a small urge to laugh.&lt;br /&gt;I suddenly woke from the sun shining in my eyes. Only it was the reflection from the mirror shards in the woman's eyes. Ah, her hands were now crusty and cold. My bed was now caked in blood. I sighed a sigh disappointment. I proceeded into the bathroom and took out some bleach from the sink's cupboard. And I stared at the empty void where the mirror once was placed. I then turned my attention to the woman's naked corpse. I wrapped the entrails around her neck. I tried to move her arms and legs into, but rigor mortis had stiffened her body. With some force I moved her limbs into place. I enjoyed the cracking of limbs and bones as curled her body into a ball. I gently wrapped the corpse with a hefty bag. Then dragged the body to my basement door.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-3180648823240184482?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/3180648823240184482/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=3180648823240184482' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/3180648823240184482'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/3180648823240184482'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2010/06/requiem-for-monster-pt-1-dead-are-not.html' title='Requiem for a Monster, Pt. 1: The Dead are not Silent.'/><author><name>Shang Tirips Doog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12871601063020420834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j8En_CrCpe0/SIgyHNhsdZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Gy9XDKfqg08/S220/Black+and+White%3B+Blood+and+Tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854710617128357322.post-3278135616977004914</id><published>2010-05-24T22:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-24T23:08:49.090-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Beauty in Ruins</title><content type='html'>The monster finally road out of town. The cathedral should be unwatched. I manage to slip myself into one of the cracks in the roof top and scale down using the belfry's chains. I check every corners for any restless souls and ghouls. It seemed that nature has reclaimed most of it's territory. The once glossy marble floor now covered in moss, and the once dynamic stained glass windows have been either shattered or removed from their panes by protruding tendrils of ivy. Alas there is no sign of any fiends. It seems that the ruined cathedral has kept it's purity. &lt;br /&gt;     I creep my way to organs and delicately brush the dust away from the keys.

Do people REALLY want you to ever speak the truth? No one wants to hear the truth that hurts the ear. Even I am guilty. So once again truth is the only sure way freedom. Secrets and lies can only chain you? I am still chained up, I don't know why I never told anyone my secrets. I just don't know, I am just searching for that one person to share my life with. The most I've told one person was the only half of my life. Then I was in a way betrayed. But that's the past. All is forgiven, but never forgotten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for this life, God. You taught me so much. You put me through so much. You've given me so much. You saved me so many times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess the truth is, I will not reveal any truths about me again. If given the choice of life and death... I am sure you know the answer, God. So when would you like to pick me up on eagle's wings? Ready whenever you are, just give me patience and wisdom. Maybe If you could at least allow me to go away to another world and be you know who.... Well maybe it's not the best thing to do. But if you can give me some reason to well you know, then maybe, just maybe, I can bear more fruit. Right now I am weak. As much as I want to bear a lot of fruit, I just don't fully appreciate the truth yet. As much as I try, I feel empty. So one man, has told me just to let go. Let you, Lord, do all the work.

Not sure if that made sense. I wonder if there will be anything that will change my plans for the army. Alas if nothing changes, then it's goodbye to everybody for 25 years, maybe longer. If I do happen to do my math right, I won't be getting out of the army until I am 45.&lt;br /&gt;I wonder what will happen to everyone while I am gone? The things I will miss... Wedding's of friends? Seeing my friends' children? The funerals? So I suppose when I finally get out, I will find each one of friends. Give their children gifts, and place flowers on their graves. I will always remember my friends, but will they forget me? Will they make jokes about me, when they see a ninja movie? Will they remember me when they see another Asian boy with glasses?

After reading a little about marriage from several friends, I've come to realize, I don't understand much about the feeling of love. Is it lust, that I've felt all this time? Is this the warm feeling in my chest? I've am not new to lust, but it's a horrible feeling. Damn human reproductive systems. My uncle told me to deny it, is stupid. Well here I am being stupid. I rebuke my humanity. Only if I could.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On love, I don't know. A year or two ago, I thought I knew what it was, now that I think about it. I didn't. I believe it to be lust. I fell hard for this one young lady, but that dream ended abruptly. Such is life though. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course if you read on my previous recent blogs, I thought I fell hard for another young lady. Of course such is life, all things must come to an end. It was only after this, I realize, I don't know what love really is. Let me rephrase intimate love from another individual other than from friends and family. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friend once told me, she wants to find someone like her, inexperienced and ignorant of love. She wants it to be a journey for both of them. She's right. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe my journey will start later on in life, or who knows maybe not in this life time?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-3838166371206931237?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/3838166371206931237/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=3838166371206931237' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/3838166371206931237'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/3838166371206931237'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2010/01/finding-patience-and-grace.html' title='Finding Patience and Grace....'/><author><name>Shang Tirips Doog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12871601063020420834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j8En_CrCpe0/SIgyHNhsdZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Gy9XDKfqg08/S220/Black+and+White%3B+Blood+and+Tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854710617128357322.post-5702103882391225918</id><published>2010-01-08T23:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-08T23:44:58.260-08:00</updated><title type='text'>New Ending?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;I've always been writing so many depressing entries, sometimes I wonder why can't I make something happy for once.

Though, I am glad for her, because I knew I was holding her back from something nice, possibly even beautiful. So she has found another man, and he seems like a nice guy when I met him. Maybe they will journey through life together, but she will always have that once living piece of me. I've always thought she would be my light. My Virgil and Beatrice.&lt;br /&gt;The one to guide me out of Darkness, Hell and Purgatory. I also thought perhaps we would enter Paradise together. Oh how foolish. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, I wonder what happened? What did I do wrong? But I think I know the answer, but I kinda want some confirmation. Oh well life moves on. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Haha, I remember my uncle telling me never to spill my out guts to any girl, because they will lose interests and they think of you as clingy, and you might scare them away. And that's is what I exactly did! Perhaps that is why the way I am today. Never spill your guts out to anyone....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; And my friend said that I was too truthful sometimes, and it's scary. Wow, telling truths can hurt! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The words of my uncle are now haunting me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-The life of a warrior is a very lonely one. Because everyone fears you. They fear, what they don't understand. Only thing that is for sure for us, warriors, is death. Once you learn to understand it and accept it, you will embrace it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, the last sentence, reminds me of my favorite phrases&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Death is the Road to Awe."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Men know death is there fate, they just know not the hour." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The only two things for certain life; change and death."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-2320379663860501709?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/2320379663860501709/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=2320379663860501709' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/2320379663860501709'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/2320379663860501709'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2010/01/we-now-lost.html' title='We the Now Lost.'/><author><name>Shang Tirips Doog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12871601063020420834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j8En_CrCpe0/SIgyHNhsdZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Gy9XDKfqg08/S220/Black+and+White%3B+Blood+and+Tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854710617128357322.post-3321285008654594937</id><published>2010-01-02T23:41:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-03T00:08:24.594-08:00</updated><title type='text'>New Year; New Goals; New Body; New Way of Thinking?

I will also work a little harder at school as well, but I am starting to lose any patience for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've quit making resolutions for finding, that "special" someone.

/&gt;All I want for you, is to be happy.&lt;br /&gt;This pain in the back of my throat, this blurriness of vision, is all too familiar.&lt;br /&gt;So for you to be happy and free, I now sever our bond.&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps we were never meant to be. &lt;br /&gt;Be free and live happily.&lt;br /&gt;In this world of darkness, I thought you were my light.&lt;br /&gt;In this world of madness, I thought you were my sanity.&lt;br /&gt;In this world of imbalance, I thought you were my balance.&lt;br /&gt;I looked to you to keep me sane, but now I am only deeper into insanity.&lt;br /&gt;I hoped you would be my Virgil and Beatrice. &lt;br /&gt;I prayed you would lead me out of Hell&lt;br /&gt;I prayed you would lead me through Purgatory.&lt;br /&gt;I dreamed of us entering Paradise together.&lt;br /&gt;But no, I face Hell alone. &lt;br /&gt;I face Repentance alone.&lt;br /&gt;And I enter Paradise alone.&lt;br /&gt;Again my throat throbs with pain.&lt;br /&gt;Breathing hurts.&lt;br /&gt;But my most of all my chest.&lt;br /&gt;I hope you forget about me.&lt;br /&gt;Because I know I can never forget you.&lt;br /&gt;I keep your photograph, because I know it serves me well. &lt;br /&gt;I wish I could steal away the pain, that I've given you.&lt;br /&gt;I know you pushed me away. &lt;br /&gt;Pushed me away and I have fallen.&lt;br /&gt;I will always remember your smile and your words. &lt;br /&gt;They will always cut me.&lt;br /&gt;There is so much more I wish I could say, but I will refrain.&lt;br /&gt;I hope you never read this.&lt;br /&gt;I hope you never remember me.&lt;br /&gt;Good bye forever, my love.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Read if you wish, but I am sure this won't make sense to anyone, but to me and God.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think back a couple months, and I wonder what happened? Some talks of joy and adventure never really happened. I guess that's nothing new. I think I scared away a something wonderful aswell. Maybe as I removed the mask, my ugliness scared her away. No more hellos. Maybe I have it all wrong. Friend is all. Dang, kinda heart breaking. I wonder, why even bother waste a breath? Was I something special? No, she told me, I was getting my hopes up. She just that nice. Now I think back to 7 months compared to now. She used to always used to say hi, no more.... No more... No more hugs. No more glances. No more flattery. Not even a smile. That is now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Deadly sighs.... Oh deadly sighs. Seeing my breath is life seeing my soul drifting away. The air is cold, cold like my heart and how I feel. It isn't fair.... But the fair left town.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do I think of these silly things? Why do I beg for it now? Why Of all things, why this? &lt;br /&gt;I want someone to hold my hands, I want someone to hold me, embrace me, hug me....&lt;br /&gt;I want to hold someone who loves me, and just cry. Just cry.&lt;br /&gt;Oh dang, now my eyes are all teary... Perhaps what I want isn't what she wants. &lt;br /&gt;I want her to put their arms around me and give me a kiss. &lt;br /&gt;Damn this drive for physical contact.... Welcome to the World of Men... Disgusting men.... But that's what I am. No, I am not a man, just a boy... Just a boy...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I kneel in the showers, eyes closed, arms crossed across my breasts, latching onto each shoulder and just muttering.... "somebody love me, somebody love me." &lt;br /&gt;I just want to scream it. But no, family is near.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh God, here come the tears.....

Please take this rose. It glows with an aura, almost as bright as yours. Ah, tell me your name, please let me see your face. But I am deaf and blind to them. Why? Why am I forbidden? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah! My love! On this day, are we to be married? Even from behind, I can tell you are beautiful! Ah... I see and feel your aura, it is like that of an Angel's.... Such pure light.... Oh please let me see your face? I hold in my hand, the band that represents our promise. Till death do us part, they say. Ah your hair beautiful... But your face, I am blind to, once again.... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My angel, I fight this war for you! My friends they are being killed right before my eyes. Please wait for me.... As I lay on sands, my visions blurs, All I can do is stare at your picture. I wipe my blood from your beautiful portrait.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My love where are you? Where have you gone? I have come back. The stories I have to tell you!  My love? My love.....? All I see is a bloody dagger, on the ground, and a crying man and woman is all I hear. They say that their daughter has taken her own life. With that dagger, she slew her own heart. But to their daughter's name they cry out to, but I am deaf it it. Could it be that it is you...?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's not right, it's not fair. I come to holy ground, where many loved ones are interred. But I see not other cenotaph, but yours. Dearly Beloved is all it says. But what is this? A rose... No.... Could it be? The rose of my confession? Why, it has grown! It's tenrils go deep. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah my dearly beloved... The tendrils they creep all over me.... Their thorns, cut me deep. Oh God! The darkness... My love save me, please save me... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't want to be in the dark. I don't want to be in the dark. I don't want to be in the dark.... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I awake to see myself in this room. What is this place? It's empty. It's cold. It's a purgatory....? Wait! At a distance I see a somebody... Is it you my love? A bloody curdling scream resounds from with that person. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I run towards that person. I see... I see... It is you! Why are you dressed in your wedding gown? Ah you are beautiful..... But I wish to see your face.... However you probably have cloaked it. No matter.... My love turn around and look at me! I am here. You fall in my arms with such grace.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God be merciful! The dagger! But, crimson fluids they make you all the more beautiful.... But I cannot lose you again. Wait for me, my love!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us meet death together! For, Death is the Road to Awe!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I plunge the cold blade into my heart.... I feel no pain, but everything turns to darkness. God! No! Not Now! Deliver us from this Oblivion! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My love you have risen! Though I cannot see your face! I see your eyes! Your hands..... Why do they unsheath the knife from my heart? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; The Dearly beloved's face is now revealed. Her face crawled with maggots and worms. Her eyes bloody red from rage. Her flesh rotted to the bone. As soon she withdrew the dagger from the man's heart she quickly plunged it back into his body. Into his eyes, his throat, ripped out his tongue. A bloody scene. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All can be heard is the man's maniacal laughs and bloody curdling screams. &lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-6827116626822182792?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/6827116626822182792/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=6827116626822182792' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/6827116626822182792'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/6827116626822182792'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2009/10/dream-of-beautiful-nightmares-welcome.html' title='Dream of Beautiful Nightmares, Welcome to Hell.'/><author><name>Shang Tirips Doog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12871601063020420834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j8En_CrCpe0/SIgyHNhsdZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Gy9XDKfqg08/S220/Black+and+White%3B+Blood+and+Tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854710617128357322.post-2005340499028804809</id><published>2009-10-09T22:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-09T23:13:53.747-07:00</updated><title type='text'>1st Stillness of Many Moons</title><content type='html'>This week was awkwardly.... depressing. In a way it had it's fair share of events. But even with all that went on, it felt quiet. Too quiet. Let's see what i remembered from this week....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monday woke up late around 8:16 AM. Missed 1st hour.... I think I had a deep conversation with Devin or maybe that was Tuesday....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuesday was the day I had a deep meaningful conversation with Devin? Or that was Monday... Ah yeah! I had to work after school for Glenn.... Got back home around 11:59 AM and got to bed around 1:35 AM.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday worked in Coach Paulk's garden, someone stole over $200 at the garden. Had to miss a lot of 7th hour because of it. But Coach Paulk said a handful of the people who actually worked (me included), where excused from the interrogation. A Sheriff Deputy Unit quickly parked out of the Garden's gate. Probably just incase any of the suspects decided to run.... Later that evening I finished this weeks laundry and got my hair cut. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thursday... nothing really just a few of Tiffany's buddies came to study, but all they really did was play around. Rushed to do all of this week's homework and Cram reading Scarlet Letter. I used SparkNotes instead... Oh I also learned about Slender Man.... Look him up... Or look for video's on YouTube series titled Entry.... Got to bed around 2:43 AM. I saw shadows moving in the ceiling again... Could it be Slender Man or bats from Hell? I think I am at my breaking point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friday, Life's a Beach....... Woke up around 8:16 AM. Freaking missed the Psychology Exam!!! At least Devin made me feel a little better. At Least I didn't have to work...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though this week had it's highs and extreme lows, it felt unusally still. I was kinda melancholy this whole week. I wanted to write something, but again, Writer's Block is powerful foe. This threw me into a deeper sea of sorrow, I started thinking of a dream I had a few years ago...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-2005340499028804809?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/2005340499028804809/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=2005340499028804809' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/2005340499028804809'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/2005340499028804809'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2009/10/1st-stillness-of-many-moons.html' title='1st Stillness of Many Moons'/><author><name>Shang Tirips Doog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12871601063020420834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j8En_CrCpe0/SIgyHNhsdZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Gy9XDKfqg08/S220/Black+and+White%3B+Blood+and+Tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854710617128357322.post-4724481922413553567</id><published>2009-08-31T15:56:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-31T15:56:44.339-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Sanctuary of the Meditative Mind</title><content type='html'>My favorite place would have to be a place I call, “Valde Silva Insons Insontis Phasmatis.” In this spiritual forest, this is where I do most of my most meditative activities. From artistic thinking to self-reflecting, it is a forest of imagination and ideals. I place my most impassioned stories and feelings in here. I really feel most humble in this sanctuary. This forest is where I confide my sins to the Heavens, and ask for penance as well.  &lt;br /&gt;     Imagine a forest only lit up by a single ray of celestial light that is given off by Heaven’s Light. And with trees with barks that luster of polished sterling silver. And with the leaves laced with silver, and purest shade of white. I call them serenity guardians. In the heart of the forest, lies a colossal serenity guardian tree named,” Yggdrasil.” Here the ray of light shines, and the light is reflected off the tree and lights up all the others. The tree stands tall above all the others. The pitch black floor is littered with leaves of Yggdrasil and all the other serenity guardians.&lt;br /&gt;     In the outer boundaries of the forest, the floor is black, but as you step toward the heart you will see the floor is littered with leaves of the trees. As you climb the roots of Yggdrasil, you will find a gaping cavern with gems never before seen by a single human, but me. And this is where you will find me. In times of high emotional stress, this is where I will be. This is my favorite place. This is my sanctuary.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-4724481922413553567?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/4724481922413553567/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=4724481922413553567' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/4724481922413553567'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/4724481922413553567'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2009/08/sanctuary-of-meditative-mind.html' title='Sanctuary of the Meditative Mind'/><author><name>Shang Tirips Doog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12871601063020420834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j8En_CrCpe0/SIgyHNhsdZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Gy9XDKfqg08/S220/Black+and+White%3B+Blood+and+Tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854710617128357322.post-2135543063580622745</id><published>2009-06-29T01:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-02T00:27:36.607-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Sanctuary in Words</title><content type='html'>In this place I have my secrets.&lt;br /&gt;In this place I have everything and nothing.&lt;br /&gt;In this place I have peace and war.&lt;br /&gt;In this place I can write out my emotions, and no one will know their meanings. &lt;br /&gt;In this place I can express my love for someone.&lt;br /&gt;In this place I can dance, I can sing, I can worship.&lt;br /&gt;In this place I am free to be whatever or whoever I want to be.&lt;br /&gt;In this place I am a monster, a stranger, a warrior, an angel.&lt;br /&gt;In this place I am happy and sad.&lt;br /&gt;In this place I dream.&lt;br /&gt;In this place I rise and fall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This place is my sanctuary, I am finally free.

I hit the play button on my Pandora Radio just to releave my nerves... I am greeted by Johann Pachelbel. Ah I remember the days when I had to dance to this song. It was ballet.... 3 monthes, of fun, but harassment from my family. Before I know it, the song fades away. A familar, wonderful piano melody starts, and I realize it as &lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Glass Skin&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. The vocalist's voice sounds so gentle. Never has his voice been this gentle, but the lyrics as sorrowful as ever though. As the song nears it's end, I decide to choose my next song to play.... &lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Ain't Afraid to Die&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, this is a nice choice. The song opens with a piano solo, and a soft quiet voice. It's about 3 in the morning. I place the song on constant repeat.... I hear the song for every bit of the beat and instruments. I decide maybe turning the song for constant repeat was not the best of the ideas... I decided to watch the music video....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RsRFeeiJvUo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RsRFeeiJvUo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsRFeeiJvUo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;English Translation:&lt;br /&gt;The way that I used to walk with you is gone&lt;br /&gt;But still, I always walked with you, I wonder if I'll ever be able to meet&lt;br /&gt;you&lt;br /&gt;The snow falls gently on a hill&lt;br /&gt;Even though I can't reach you, I understand&lt;br /&gt;The flower in your room that you loved is now...&lt;br /&gt;The day of last years final snow&lt;br /&gt;The promises that were hard to exchange&lt;br /&gt;When I remember them, they melt, and spill from my hands&lt;br /&gt;The snow falls gently on a hill&lt;br /&gt;Even though I can't reach you, I understand&lt;br /&gt;The flower in your room that you loved is now...&lt;br /&gt;All alone by the window, just staring at the snow&lt;br /&gt;While remembering you, seeing you in the glass&lt;br /&gt;I give you a final kiss&lt;br /&gt;Come on, smile, don't cry anymore&lt;br /&gt;From here on, I'll always be watching you&lt;br /&gt;The snow falls gently on a hill&lt;br /&gt;Even though I can't reach you, I understand&lt;br /&gt;The flower in your room that you loved is now...&lt;br /&gt;A light that quietly begins to color the inside of the town white&lt;br /&gt;You saw the season's final colors&lt;br /&gt;The sound of the tears that fell is cruel isn't it&lt;br /&gt;You saw the season's final colors&lt;br /&gt;The four seasons, and your colors, will soon vanish&lt;br /&gt;The snow melts, and flowers bloom on the street corner&lt;br /&gt;The "colors" that you saw, softly begin to melt&lt;br /&gt;The day of this years final colors&lt;br /&gt;A single flower on the street corner&lt;br /&gt;When I look up into the sky, the final snow melts from my hand. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My dog comes and pokes her nose to my thigh.

It's kind of sad to lose touch with so many you thought would be with you forever, as friends, if not more. It’s funny how peoples thought of you change through just a simple gestures, response to a chain message, attitude of the response, and eye contact. Don't they consider that the person they are talking to or person you are trying to talk to is having a bad day? Seems to me like many friendships are made and destroyed by these simple gestures. In a way it makes me wish, I could take back a response I made to a friend.  I think I was bitter, so my emotions got to me. So maybe I offended her. Then again she probably didn't even get the message I was trying to get through at the time. In a way I wish I could re-establish contact with my friend again. Ironic thing is, I had another friend delete her number from my phone. I just didn't want to be the one to sever the form of communication; we used the most to keep in touch. However I do remember, that I asked her to keep and contact. Maybe she never saved my number in the 1st place. Oh how Irony can be a bitch. Whenever we were still in school together, we used to walk together to our 5th our class. On her last day of school, I asked to stay in contact with me, since she was graduating that year. She responded with, "Oh, but I am such so anti-social." And she walked to her next class.... I didn't understand why she would say that, because she had so many friends, and always greeted everyone with a cheery face. It was recent to find out what she really meant.&lt;br /&gt;Maybe I was just scaring her, I was probably a freak. Maybe I was too clingy, even though we never had that close of a relationship. To me being with her was all that mattered.  Funny how I thought telling her the truth would make everything okay. Indeed the truth does set you free, but they forgot to mention that it can hurt you too.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-9166462418250200478?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/9166462418250200478/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=9166462418250200478' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/9166462418250200478'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/9166462418250200478'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2009/04/truth-that-hurts-soul.html' title='Truth that Hurts the Soul'/><author><name>Shang Tirips Doog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12871601063020420834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j8En_CrCpe0/SIgyHNhsdZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Gy9XDKfqg08/S220/Black+and+White%3B+Blood+and+Tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854710617128357322.post-8678344795628895695</id><published>2009-05-19T19:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-26T17:06:10.590-07:00</updated><title type='text'>So Begins the Next Chapter.</title><content type='html'>As this chapter ends, so begins another...

Hopefully not just work haha.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-8678344795628895695?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/8678344795628895695/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=8678344795628895695' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/8678344795628895695'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/8678344795628895695'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2009/05/so-begins-next-chapter.html' title='So Begins the Next Chapter.'/><author><name>Shang Tirips Doog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12871601063020420834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j8En_CrCpe0/SIgyHNhsdZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Gy9XDKfqg08/S220/Black+and+White%3B+Blood+and+Tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854710617128357322.post-4767156251354895520</id><published>2009-05-15T23:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-16T20:26:45.015-07:00</updated><title type='text'>For The Memories....</title><content type='html'>When I see all of you, my mind starts to wonder.

He prayed and prayed to his angels but an answer never seemed to come. With every unanswered prayer darkness tainted his heart. His mind lost it's grip on sanity. His faith lost to the abyss of sorrows. &lt;br /&gt;With his faith lost so was his sanity and his gentle heart.&lt;br /&gt;One day he abandons all his loved ones and traverses to summit of a mountain. There he beckons an angel of Satan. A gate into Hell appeared behind him. A monsterous hand grabbed his feet and dragged him into the gates. There, in the darkness of hell,  he made a pact a demon. He was given power to bring death and suffering onto Man, but he would have to suffer the pain and horrors of the victim and their families. And when his mortal life ended, he would be sealed in his heart. The young man however pleaded to die in this fashion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;As I die, my body and heart shall turn into glass.... &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Petrified.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Frozen in time.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;For eons, I will lay. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Famine.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;War.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Genocide.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Extinction.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I will have seen much suffering.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Melinnias will pass. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I will haved shattered.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;My broken shards will be my spawn. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The breath of nature will carry them around the world. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thus the cycle of suffering will begin anew.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The demon surprised of the young man's wish for the world suffer such terrible curse, he sought to compromise with the young man. Thus he chants his hellish melody....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Glass and Flesh&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Man and Woman&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Brittle and Resilient&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Certain and Changing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Cold and Warm&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Lustrous and Suave&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Long ago, Flesh was always warry to never come near Glass.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;On one fateful day, they embraced. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Driven by an anttempted suicide of the Body.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;They collided and they became one.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Together they were whole. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Their love for one another was named, Pain.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Body sang them a song.... The song named, Agony. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;As their love for each other deepened, the louder the song was sung.&lt;br /&gt;This is the power I give you, Little Imp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Alas only one shall be allowed to suffer, what you will inevitably endure.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The poor soul will have your heart of glass. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;And as they expire, you will personally deliver me their soul.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;But be forewarned, if ever your merciless curse should break, then your soul will be mine.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I shall show you pain like you have never felt before. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;You will suffer the pain of your victims, tenfold.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The delusional young man, so thirsted for vengence against the ones he once worshipped,&lt;br /&gt;Accepted the pact.&lt;br /&gt;The demon ripped open the youg man's chest exposing the ribcage.&lt;br /&gt;He continued to snap every single rib.&lt;br /&gt;With such immense pain, the young man scream was heard by no living creature.&lt;br /&gt;The demon pierced the child's heart with his teeth.&lt;br /&gt;Thus the heart turned to glass.&lt;br /&gt;The demon sewn the chest shut with his own teeth and the boy's locks of hair.&lt;br /&gt;The was then thrown out of the gates of hell back into the relm of mortals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sharp piercing pain ran throughout his body, then concentraited to his throat.&lt;br /&gt;He vommited out bile, blood, and needle sharp shards of glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;So the cycle begins....&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The young man looked onto the world from which he stood.&lt;br /&gt; With eyes of fury, he see's the world entombed in glass.&lt;br /&gt;His eyes fill with plots to afflict the one that will break his unending cycle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;You will be my first!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt; I will find you....

Lately I've been tagging every single paper, desk, and wall saying &lt;em&gt;Vinushka...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This words haunts me. Maybe that's what I am.&lt;br /&gt;I walk down the streets at icy, cold night hoping a stranger will stop by. Maybe he or she will offer me a ride? Disappointment after disappointment no one stops for me. My mind only thinks of her. Maybe she will see me and take pity on me? After all we've been through... I thought she would at least talk to me whenever she sees me....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, a pickup truck stops.... A mans head pops out the window.&lt;br /&gt;"Where are you heading to little man?"&lt;br /&gt;I see this man had already a passenger in the back seats, but not the passenger front....&lt;br /&gt;The man was about in his early 30s late 20s even. He seemed kind enough.&lt;br /&gt;"Well, my boy, we are heading to a diner just 6 miles down the road. Would you like to come with us? My treat!"&lt;br /&gt;Food! It's been a few days since I have had any kind of civilized food. I've been taking little bites out of the &lt;em&gt;MRE Vegi Crackers&lt;/em&gt; for the past few days and now finally this kind man has offered to give me food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sure. I am in depted to you, sir." I said with a peaceful smile.&lt;br /&gt;"Hop up on the passenger side, son" he said with a jolly laugh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I opened the door and looked at the passenger in the back. A young blonde with red streaks in her hair. She also has piercings in her ears, one on her tongue, and left side of her nose. Her body was like that of a goddess... She couldn't have been more than 17 or 18. Something was evidently wrong though.... She only wore lingerie..... I looked away and climbed onto the passenger seat as fast as I could.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Vinushka&lt;/em&gt;..." I whispered to myself.&lt;br /&gt;"Nice crosses you have there, son," he stared at my three crosses, "Are you catholic or something?"&lt;br /&gt;"No sir, just a reminder of Faith." I said quickly tucking the crucifixes under my coat.&lt;br /&gt;"Well, lets see how strong you keep your faith with my daughter in the backseat...."&lt;br /&gt;A pair of hands from the back creeps over and start to rub my arms. I started getting tense....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;What is this? This isn't right.... &lt;/em&gt;Her arms gently started rubbing my chest. And then moved to my neck and cheak. She suddenly started to whisper in my ear, "Hey, hey, Shhhh..... It's okay, just enjoy the ride, I'll do everything.... You'll be in Heaven in no time...."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can her breath run down my neck. My heart started to beat faster. One of her hands started to move down and rub my chest once more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Stop...." I urged, but as suddenly as the words were said my neck clentched tight. I saw the wire in both of her hands&lt;em&gt;.... "Piano wire&lt;/em&gt;!" my mind shouted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You see, youngman, we haven't eaten any decent meat in several weeks now.... Last fool we had was a punk boy about your age. Hahaha and boy, did he taste like shit...." he said smirking and laughing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That's right, Daddy," she said with a sensual voice, "And you know what tastes the best?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A wretched Christian boy!" they both said in unison. My vision started turning red. The wire was being pulled tighter..... Soon I can feel the warmness oozing down my body.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I fought and struggled. I shook my body back and forth, to and fro, my crosses swung out of my coat, and like a knife cutting warm butter, cutting the man 's right eye. He lost total control on the pick up. Quickly I remember that I had a knife at my waist tucked under my coat. I quickly unsheathed it and started to cut away at the wire. The man quickly swirved his truck to the left, I lost control of my blade and it slashed my face. The man crashed into a tree head on, luckly I had a seat belt, but the girl she wasn't so lucky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her piercing suspended her up in a mess of branches and she was hanging freely. Her shook violently and ceased to move. I quickly got out of the car, I could smell smoke... and gasoline! I hoped out of the pick up. I was suddenly tackled. The man was on top of me he dug at the wound across my throat. I struggled against him, but everything became so slow... I looked around for anything to help me. I took my knife and started to stab and slash at his face, arms, and chest. Nothing fazed him. I could see him light up a cigarette as he continued to choke the life out of me. Blood started to gush out from my throat, and coughed up blood in his face. My blood seemed to burn his face. And I saw my crosses two feet above my reach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all the willpower and strengh I crawled for the crosses. The pain was so unbearable. I collapsed on the ground only an inch away. I mustered myself make the one inch. As my hands touched the cross, the man leaped on my back. His enormous strengh spun me around.&lt;br /&gt;"Die! Fucking! HUMAN!!!" he roared.&lt;br /&gt;I had my crosses, and quickly slashed his face. The slash from the chin to the forhead, and across his eyes, at the same time his cigarette flew into the gasoline igniting it in seconds. The man blinded&lt;br /&gt;by the slashes ran into the ignited truck. I ran 3o yards away from the truck before it exploded, and everything turned black.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-5222167105560751995?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/5222167105560751995/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=5222167105560751995' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/5222167105560751995'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/5222167105560751995'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2008/12/vinushka.html' title='....Vinushka....'/><author><name>Shang Tirips Doog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12871601063020420834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j8En_CrCpe0/SIgyHNhsdZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Gy9XDKfqg08/S220/Black+and+White%3B+Blood+and+Tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854710617128357322.post-3265044202958676632</id><published>2008-12-09T14:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T18:46:50.500-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Storm Beautifully</title><content type='html'>Oh Angels of the Coming Storm I beseech thee...&lt;br /&gt;Come and nourish the children of Mother Nature&lt;br /&gt;May you bring us the roars of fury&lt;br /&gt;May you strike down anything that stand in your way&lt;br /&gt;As I walk in the grassy plains&lt;br /&gt;May you rain down your tears so it may cleanse my spirit and heal my shattered soul&lt;br /&gt;May you cover the sun with your hands of darkness&lt;br /&gt;I feel your tears, slithering down my face&lt;br /&gt;Wetting my shirt and my skin&lt;br /&gt;I feel your sighs of misery, they keep me company&lt;br /&gt;As your hands part, I see the life around me, they sing songs of joy&lt;br /&gt;Then once more you shroud the sun in darkness, and I say to you:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Storm Beautifully for me.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-3265044202958676632?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/3265044202958676632/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=3265044202958676632' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/3265044202958676632'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/3265044202958676632'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2008/12/storm-beautifully.html' title='Storm Beautifully'/><author><name>Shang Tirips Doog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12871601063020420834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j8En_CrCpe0/SIgyHNhsdZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Gy9XDKfqg08/S220/Black+and+White%3B+Blood+and+Tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854710617128357322.post-8485769423172402879</id><published>2008-11-29T02:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-29T03:32:08.106-08:00</updated><title type='text'>There Are No White Chocolate Kisses...</title><content type='html'>As I stand at the cash register, I stop and think of you. The next customer walks up to counter, and out of 2nd nature I ask, "How can I help you?" As the customer starts naming off several of the item she wanted, I thought about what you liked to do.... Hug.... I thought of the times I held you tightly and the time my girl friends tell me they don't like tight hugs. Only gentle, soft and distant hugs.... My heart sank. I knew my heart was set for you but you did not know. I wanted you to say, "I love you!" once more. Even though you said that to everyone. You only ment it as a friendly manner. I remember watching hug all your boy friends. I understood what your hugs ment by your face, the duration, the tension you had in your body. So I understood how you felt of them whenever you hugged them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last time I hugged you. I knew how you felt about me. I felt alone and cold. But why you even wanted my hug that time, I didn't know. Sometimes I wish I never told you, that I had feelings for you. Ultimately I knew your feelings for me changed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In our embrace, I felt a slight push, uneasiness, like an &lt;em&gt;I-wish&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em&gt;you-weren't-here-so-I-didn't-have-to-hug-you,&lt;/em&gt; kind of hug. In that moment I wished knew how to be one of your best friends. As I put more thought into it.... I started to wish that you never got close to me and I never harbored any feelings for you.... Alas it was too late.&lt;br /&gt;My eyes welled up with tears.... I suddenly caught my-self thinking too much.&lt;br /&gt;I quickly my realize my customer finished naming off her list.... All I heard was white chocolate kisses and damn....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That wasn't even on the menu....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I said, "&lt;em&gt;Ma'am, there are no white chocolate kisses."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-8485769423172402879?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/8485769423172402879/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=8485769423172402879' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/8485769423172402879'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/8485769423172402879'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2008/11/as-i-stand-at-cash-register-i-stop-and.html' title='There Are No White Chocolate Kisses...'/><author><name>Shang Tirips Doog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12871601063020420834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j8En_CrCpe0/SIgyHNhsdZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Gy9XDKfqg08/S220/Black+and+White%3B+Blood+and+Tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854710617128357322.post-606501391983826008</id><published>2008-11-27T23:32:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-29T02:40:49.555-08:00</updated><title type='text'>To Raise Them Up as They Fall...</title><content type='html'>A young soul asks you out of no where, these questions:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Why do I have these feelings? These feelings of emptyness?  I believe that I have reached God, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;but I still feel so distant, why? What is my purpose? What is wrong? Am I doing something &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Wrong? Why am I having those terrible thoughts? Why did I wait? Why did she not see me?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Why didn't she see fit to give me chance? Why am I thinking of the past now? Long &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;and forgotten. I had so many chances to just end it, but why did I think of that?

Darkness is all that can be seen, but pain and confusion is all that can be felt. Words of pain, regret, loss fill his ears, "No one wants to know the present! No one wants to hear the present!" they scream. Even though the words are in Japanese, he can understand them. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A sigh comes out of his mouth. The trance was lost. He again must refocus his mind.... &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As &lt;em&gt;Moonlight Sonata&lt;/em&gt; plays from his playlist, the boy can see a vision. He see's an old man sitting alone in front of a fireplace. But in the future and alone. The dead eyes were full of regret in pain. The boy then looks at the man's neck, he then knew it was himself.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A new tune comes into play. A light hearted one. Happiness..... Soothing. No doubt this was&lt;em&gt;  Dearly Beloved &lt;/em&gt;by the Kingdom Hearts.... Alas the solo is short lived.....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A song by a J-Rock band call&lt;em&gt; Dir en Grey. &lt;/em&gt;The song was called &lt;em&gt;Kasumi. T&lt;/em&gt;hough it was beautiful, he did not understand the lyrics. No doubt the song was about love&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt; Maybe that's what the boy felt what was missing. The colors of Love. The song is now over....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Maybe Love  was what all he needed, to feel the sweet lips of Love. Then again all he needed was companionship, someone where he can confide all his secrets too. For the sake of his sanity. He is too young for love after all. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Won't someone listen to my story? Won't someone hold me lovingly and warmly? Why these thoughts? Why ask for help? God help me. I ask you to comfort me and love me. Please pour out your blessings of love to me. Send your army of angels to guide me. Protect me from melicious devils. Keep Satans army away from my mind.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These thoughts rattled thoughout his mind. He eyes were heavy, but the thought of Love still hovered through his head.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;If there is somebody who wishes for my companionship, please let it be known to me! Why hide it from me? Please is you have those feelings tell me. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The young man's heart ached for companionship and intimacy. Eternal slumber would seem so easy. To sleep and never wake up. To stay in a dream, a neverending dream or nightmare.... Nonetheless it was a never ending adventure..... A Never Ending Story.....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-6608325177089763077?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/6608325177089763077/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=6608325177089763077' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/6608325177089763077'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/6608325177089763077'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2008/10/mind-and-madness.html' title='Mind and Madness'/><author><name>Shang Tirips Doog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12871601063020420834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j8En_CrCpe0/SIgyHNhsdZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Gy9XDKfqg08/S220/Black+and+White%3B+Blood+and+Tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854710617128357322.post-6155305367572017650</id><published>2008-10-01T15:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-11-13T20:03:09.097-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Battle for the Soul, A Requiem for a Dream pt.

Michael commanded me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As I raise my shield, light domes around me and the angelic army.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The arrows seem to be repulsed by this shield of light.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A sudden rush of glory rushed in my veins and I was compelled me to cry out,"No arrow from Hell's army can peirce my faith!"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I quickly realize I wasn't alone in the battle cry, for the angelic army cried out aswell. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I stare into the darkness as it is repulsed by my shield. Suddenly I see a thin line of fire blast through he darkness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Legion came rushing at me with his fiery sword. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With furious rage he bashed on my shield.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With such strong force and momentum, left knee collapsed onto the ground.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He planted his foot onto my chest and I was on the ground staring up at my foe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One more his hand reached for my throat.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He picked me up, choking the life out of me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As everything started turning black, an bright flash struck his chest, and breath returned to me once again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The arrow had seemed to be deflected by his massive chest plates.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He grasped the arrow as it layed in the dirt, and repeatedly jabbed his armoured chest with his arrow.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He continued the mockery until the shaft splintered into pieces and the arrow head just a chunk of blessed steel. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not making a single dent or scratch, he mockingly bellowed out to angelic army and the army of hellspawns,"No arrow, no mace, no axe, no spear, and no blade forged from Angels can even fathom to even scratch the armour forged by Lucifer!!!"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The army of darkness bursted into laughter, taunting the army of light.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I took my stand and pointed my sword toward him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"My Sword of the Spirit will not only slash through your hellish shell, but I will send you and your legion of sin, back to Hell!" I challenged.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This only intensified the outburst of laughter of the Hellspawn army.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I beckon you to try, foolish boy!" Legion said with fury.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instantly he swung his sword, and I too swung mine to connect with his.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Everything suddenly slowed down around me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our swords sliced through the air but it was so slow, it seemed as if hardly anything was moving.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From that moment I felt fully at peace.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My sword felt weightless and my body moved with grace.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I closed my eyes and prayed,"My Lord and Maker, you are my sword and shield, allow me to banish this demon and his legion back into the Oblivion!"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As I finished my prayer and opened my eyes, everything was now back into full motion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our swords made contact, but my sword seemed to have sliced through not only his armour and body, but his sword aswell.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Back to Hell, Legion and take your wretches with you!!!" a loud voice thundered out from above.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Army of Hell and Legion shrieked and shrilled with anger and fustration of bitter damnation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A rift in the ground opened and thorny came spewing from the hole dragging every Hellspawn down the fissure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I heard cheering and rejoycing all around me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Love and Life birthed into the battlefield, consuming the putrid waste the Armies of Hell had left behind.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As angels danced all around me, Azrael came to me and we embraced as if two long lost brother were once again reunited.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Precious Soul, you now have a choice, stay here and live in paradise, or serve our Lord by returning to you earthly body and spread your story to every mortal on Earth," Azrael inquiered.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"By spreading your story, will be marked in stars and lead humanity into a different destiny," the he revealed to me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As I thought of my answer, the angel smiled at me and winked.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It shall be done, and I will forever guide you to the rightous path, the path of Higher Spirit of Good.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I smiled and closed my eyes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was suddenly awaken by the bells of the church.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I now live my life, knowing the path I live was made by the Heavens....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-6155305367572017650?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/6155305367572017650/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=6155305367572017650' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/6155305367572017650'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/6155305367572017650'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2008/10/battle-for-soul-requiem-for-dream-pt-ii.html' title='Battle for the Soul, A Requiem for a Dream pt.

But often he will answer the question to test them, his answers are usually : "It's my trouble proof vest," or "It's something to keep me in my place," or "It's unique, and it's not really hurting anybody, right?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depending on how the person(s) answer or reacts he can see what the person is feeling.

I feel a familiar pair of hands grabbing my shoulders.&lt;br /&gt;I gently arose from my position and and slowly turned look to see who or what groped my shoulders.&lt;br /&gt;It was a winged man, he wore a hooded robe with a large sythe strapped to his back.&lt;br /&gt;Angels!&lt;br /&gt;I could feel the angel guiding me away from the man.&lt;br /&gt;"Azrael, you shall not intervene with the battle, this is what the young mortal must do alone." the man commanded.&lt;br /&gt;"Yes, my lord" Azrael gently answered.&lt;br /&gt;The archangel continues to guide me away from the man and down the mountain.&lt;br /&gt;We now step to down into a valley.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Welcome to the Valley of Megiddo," Azrael introduces to me, "come we must find Michael and meet with the rest of the Heavenly Army."&lt;br /&gt;"Young one, I am Azrael, I have watched over you since day you were in your mother's womb until now."&lt;br /&gt;"Do you not remember the time I held you up as you took your first steps?"&lt;br /&gt;"Do you not rememeber the time I held your up head when you found your first love?"&lt;br /&gt;"Do you not remember the time I held your heart the first time you were rejected?

I just can't think of something to write about except this. Maybe it's the music I been listening to? Maybe it's because I am stuck inside most of the time. Maybe it's becaus I haven't gone to church in a long time. So many factors... So much desire to write, but nothing comes to mind. Anyone want to inspire me? Anyone have a starter? Anyone have something they would like me to write about?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-3976057903826837204?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/3976057903826837204/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=3976057903826837204' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/3976057903826837204'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/3976057903826837204'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2008/09/brainwashed.html' title='Brainwashed'/><author><name>Shang Tirips Doog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12871601063020420834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j8En_CrCpe0/SIgyHNhsdZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Gy9XDKfqg08/S220/Black+and+White%3B+Blood+and+Tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854710617128357322.post-6557920016450717329</id><published>2008-09-09T15:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-10T23:42:27.814-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Suicide is the Proof of Life</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;This was inspired by one of my favorite rock bands &lt;em&gt;Dir en Grey &lt;/em&gt;and their song &lt;em&gt;The Final.&lt;/em&gt; You can call this another attempted to let go the hardships of  recent and past events.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:webdings;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:180%;"&gt;Scream!

My name is Chih-Chuan Chang. I was born in Taiwan, but I came to America when I was about six years old. In America, I lived in a Chinese restaurant named, “Hunan Inn,” until it was closed for business. I now currently reside at the Chateau LaFitte apartment complex. My parents are in some way divorced. My father wanted to go back to Taiwan, while my mother decided to stay here, in America, with me and my sister, Tiffany Chang. Now you must forgive me, because my writing can be at times, very deep and sometimes morbid. Now that you know a little it about my background, let us learn about my personality.&lt;br /&gt;      My most prized possession is my spirit. I received this gift at January 14, 1992. The first reason I was given this gift is because no soul can live a good life without anyone to accompany and guide it. The second reason I was given this gift is because the giver of this gift, The Almighty, has a purpose for me to fulfill in this world. This is my most precious gift because it contains my talents, skill, and all my love for God.&lt;br /&gt;      The thing that identifies me the most are angels. Reason being, angels are known as a guardian, a friend, and guide to everyone and everything in the world. I was also once called an angel in disguise, so ever since then I had an obsession with angels; even my Myspace and Facebook have angels as display images. I’ve always been helping my friends in need and tried my best to guide and accompany them through their troubles like an angel.&lt;br /&gt;      Some words I live by are the lyrics to Strangers by Yoko Kanno and The Final by Dir en Grey. The lyrics to Strangers are important to me because it almost perfectly matches the long rode my soul and spirit have traversed so far trying to get into the Kingdom of Heaven. The lyrics to The Final are important to me because it reminds me the times I have contemplated suicide and there is always something to live for. It also helps numb or intensify any source of pain, I might be feeling. So the song has saved my life, or nearly ended it.      Well now that you know a bit about me, I hope I can learn more about you. I’ll have you know though; that this is paper is only “The tip of the iceberg.”&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>Dreams About The Past Life?</title><content type='html'>January 4th 2008 was a very wierd day. I felt I've been stuck in the mud and I can't get out. Well anyway about the dream, I have told Analynn, but I had to shorten it.&lt;br /&gt;Well here the story...&lt;br /&gt;I was about my age now and I was best friends with this girl. Then suddenly we became lovers. It seemed we had such a great time. The reason i said "seemed" is because, now this is one of the things that bothered me, I could never see her face, I could never see us hug, kiss, and I think at one point we made love. Anything we did always blurred and swirl until I couldn't see what happened and it changed to like the next "scene" of our life. I guess I was not supposed to see her face at all. Anyway to continue the story...&lt;br /&gt;I was grown up and I had to go to war, before the swirling effect fully distorted my sight, I saw us kissing good bye. Then was in a middle of a battle. It seemed all the people on my side had paintball guns. I had one too. But all enemy soldiers had real guns. Well we all decided to charge them and one by one I saw my comrades get gun down, and blood splattered everywhere. Then finally I was shot down. Everything I saw, was red. Then I couldn't stop thinking about my lover. Well fortunatly for me I saw a shadow of what looked like a helicopter. And I saw the shadow, gun down all the enemy forces. So Yay I thought, then I started thinking about the lover again. When I almost saw her face the swirly effect happened again. The next scene I was at my house. Calling for my lover I was home, but there was no answer. I looked at the mail and it was soooo full. there was a bill I opened it, before I looked at the mail I cried for my lover again, still no answer... So I looked at the bill, it was a funeral bill for someone I couldn't read the name, but I think it was for me. I called my lover's mother and she started crying when she heard my voice. She told me the bill was for my lover. She never said her's or my lover's name she jus aid "My Baby." I heard her bawl out," They found... My Baby... dead with a knife on her heart and in her left hang a picture of you....."&lt;br /&gt;I felt tears sting my eyes. The mother said she commited suicide. I started yelling over the phone it wasn't possible. The mother dropped the phone and I guess she ran away. Well the father told me my lover's grave site. The swirly effect took place again before I could hear the name of my lover. Last thing I heard the father say was "I can't believe..." So I went to her grave and gave her white roses, white lotuses, and one red roses. When I layed them down on the grave all the flowers turned black and very very thorny, but the red rose remained untouched. I quickly grabbed onto the red rose, while all the flowers were wrapping black vines around my hand. The swirly effect came on again and next thing I knew I was at my dinner table, but there was no food. I looked around the table and I felt very lonely, no one else was at the table. I saw a rolled up newspaper and unrolled it and what I saw was my lover.... She made front cover of the news. I couldn't read anything I just knew was going mad I started ripping apart the newspaper. When I riped the front cover with the picture of my lover, a knife fell out.&lt;br /&gt;The knife was very bloody. I picked up the knife and before I could plunge it to my heart... I woke up. This morning I was very very sad. Next thing I knew the alarm clock rang. So when I went to school today I tried to mask everything. I think I hid my feelings well. I sorta wished I didn't.&lt;br /&gt;Thank you everyone for being born and being my friend, you made my day a little brighter.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-396083802723993567?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/396083802723993567/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=396083802723993567' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/396083802723993567'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/396083802723993567'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2008/07/dreams-about-past-life.html' title='Dreams About The Past Life?'/><author><name>Shang Tirips Doog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12871601063020420834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j8En_CrCpe0/SIgyHNhsdZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Gy9XDKfqg08/S220/Black+and+White%3B+Blood+and+Tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854710617128357322.post-9035242972843654337</id><published>2008-07-24T00:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-24T00:55:15.328-07:00</updated><title type='text'>My Unrequited Love</title><content type='html'>My feelings for you are strong.&lt;br /&gt;Yet you do not know that I harbor them.&lt;br /&gt;Your smiles are like the Sun's rays; warm and lifting.&lt;br /&gt;Your eyes are like diamonds ever sparkling.&lt;br /&gt;Evey time I see you, a sharp pain rips through my heart.&lt;br /&gt;For I know you are far beyond my reach.&lt;br /&gt;You have fallen for another.&lt;br /&gt;But I know this is what must be.&lt;br /&gt;It has felt like many lifetimes since I have set my eyes on you and where you have reclined.&lt;br /&gt;Many times I have dreamt about you.&lt;br /&gt;We embraced.&lt;br /&gt;But I awake with tears running down my cheek.&lt;br /&gt;To find it was only a dream.&lt;br /&gt;I have tried letting you go not once, but twice.&lt;br /&gt;But everytime I see your miniature portraits.&lt;br /&gt;I have always have this one thought rushing through my mind.&lt;br /&gt;"What If?"&lt;br /&gt;I wish once more to touch your hands.&lt;br /&gt;I wish for a chance to touch your lips.&lt;br /&gt;I wish for a chance that your lips reach my cheek.&lt;br /&gt;I pray for the chance for our lips to touch.&lt;br /&gt;God Bless You, My Love.&lt;br /&gt;My Unrequited Love.&lt;br /&gt;But I will never say who... :D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-9035242972843654337?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/9035242972843654337/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=9035242972843654337' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/9035242972843654337'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/9035242972843654337'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2008/07/my-unrequited-love.html' title='My Unrequited Love'/><author><name>Shang Tirips Doog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12871601063020420834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j8En_CrCpe0/SIgyHNhsdZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Gy9XDKfqg08/S220/Black+and+White%3B+Blood+and+Tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854710617128357322.post-5926084698406701797</id><published>2008-06-09T00:19:00.003-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-09T00:19:49.832-07:00</updated><title type='text'>How Far We’ve Come</title><content type='html'>Reflect back in life. Back to your very first day at school. If you can remember that far anyway. Then continue forward until you reach today.&lt;br /&gt;Can you remember all the people you have met?&lt;br /&gt;Remember all your friends?&lt;br /&gt;In my younger childhood days I can remember making many friends. But as we all grew up we all changed. So many of my friends now are sweet memories. I often wish I could see them again. We have come so far. We truely are blessed to have met so many people. I am overwhelmed by the number of friends I have made this year, but no words can decribe how I feel about how many friends I made in my entire life time. We still have many years a head of us. No matter how old you are. Death is just another part of life. So there is no need to fear death. Come let us face our Destiny that we have chosen in this life time.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>The Three Symbolic Beasts of Life</title><content type='html'>In life you will find people who are either a sheep, a wolf, and a dog. Of course their are other branches to the tree, but I will talk about them later.&lt;br /&gt;The sheep are people who wake up and go to work at 9 in the morning until 5 in the afternoon. They are the type of people who are innocent and can hardly fend for themselves. They can't get their head around committing acts of violence, drugs, rape, or anything that is evil in the world. But there a are handful of blacksheeps in the flock, they go against the stereotype, they are enlightened, they know the way of the deer. But these black sheep are very difficult to find, but on the other hand they out number the dogs on a 5-to-1 ratio. Unfortunately the white sheep still blanket the field.  They would need abundant guidance to be able to stand up for their individuality. Most do not know they are called upon by the the Almighty and Destinies to serve the better good. They do not know the abilities they have within their soul and spirit. Unfortunately it only takes the slightest temptation to lead them into corruption, then eventually it will lead the way to the wolves.&lt;br /&gt;The wolves are of  course the predators. Their lives are almost all about preying on the weaker and defenseless ones. The sheep is their favorite prey. The wolves have no disipline, and rarely any smarts. It is only the Alpha or pack leader who has the knowledge, tatics, and most ferocity or subtleness of the pack. They too are called upon the Almighty. Also by the Fates. Their lives unfortunately are too dark, and their ears are deaf to hear their true destinies. They are too blind or arrogant to see the inner light that still glimmers in their dark world.  It is not impossible to change their ways but, most improbable. But if they do change they will face hardships of change, but then they will rise higher than the sheep quickly and become the dogs.&lt;br /&gt;The dogs are disciplined, honorable, loyal, loving, strong, sometimes wise, and partly domesticated. They wish to serve their masters and keep the peace. But they still have their instincts inherited from the wolves. Their instincts make their aspects just the same as wolves. The only thing they do not have is the urge to prey on the weak. Their entire life is devoted to protect those like the sheep so the sheep may continue their blissful and innocent lives.  Unfortunately it is the most improbable if not impossible, to regain the innocence of the sheep again, but they only need to the small taste of corruption to start on the dark path in becoming wolves. It is hard to find the purebred dog, which are the individualists. Most have mated with other beasts so it is hard to find  the pure breds these days. But even with change or purity their lives are very lonely. They can search entire lives just to search for love, but never find it. Then again, they are the ones that answer the call of their master, the Almighty and eventually their destiny. Most of them accept their fate. They are the ones that have the most affect in the world.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/854710617128357322-2981723190258825254?l=shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/feeds/2981723190258825254/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=854710617128357322&amp;postID=2981723190258825254' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/2981723190258825254'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/854710617128357322/posts/default/2981723190258825254'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shangtiripsdoog.blogspot.com/2008/06/three-symbolic-beasts-of-life.html' title='The Three Symbolic Beasts of Life'/><author><name>Shang Tirips Doog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12871601063020420834</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_j8En_CrCpe0/SIgyHNhsdZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Gy9XDKfqg08/S220/Black+and+White%3B+Blood+and+Tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
