The title has nothing to do with what I am about to write.
Somewhere in the past, I had lasciviously dreamed on how to "reform" people in a non-traditional manner. Not that I am a saint (I resemble more like a spawn of the dark side sometimes) but I was thinking, it might lessen some greed and bitchiness perhaps.
I want them to explore things not otherwise explored; get addicted to films and music so that they wouldn't lose heads over gameshows or what not; and laugh at anything that catches their fancies. Like teeth without gums: I mean, instead of being cranky about stilettos, looking at a Rene Requiestas lookalike would be much soulful I think.
I had laughed the fullest and had wept the lowest. Hence, I exactly know what a stoic middle feeling is: between a guffaw and a teardrop is that immature nose enlarging its holes in magnified swell while unmindfully absorbing the livid carcasses of its facial companions.
I mean, back in the land before Time, I do not even know that there is a word like diwan (noun) which the Webster's New World College Dictionary describes as Dewan. That is the meaning. Imagine the deep importation of philosophy in that one-word powwow.
Or that my baptismal name "charisma" would have a better meaning in this dictionary:
"A gift of God's grace, Gr>favor, grace , charizethai, to show favor to , > charis, grace, beauty, kindness , >chairen, to rejoice at , IE base to desire, like. >YEARN, 1 Christian Theol, a divinely inspired gift, grace, or talent, as for prophesying, healing, etc...>also charism (kar-iz-m) > a special quality of leadership that captures the popular imagination and inspires allegiance and devotion > a special charm or allure that inspires fascination or devotion i.e., the film star's charisma."
I think I just toasted an egg there. My name bombs!
The kid and this writer has a new thing to pick on now: wrestling shows.
"Susmariosep." That is her new word when things get too bloody. Pause, then freaking laughter!
This is a senseless entry but I had been very serious in my last entries I need to break the chain. Sniggers.
