&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva, cursive;"&gt;For there is no real beauty&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva, cursive;"&gt;I am beauty&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva, cursive;"&gt;I am the thought&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva, cursive;"&gt;I am an idea&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva, cursive;"&gt;I am a dream.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;Is it beautiful? Is it real? Beauty is a concept nothing more nothing less. But what is real? Are you real? Is the world around you real? Does something corporeal mean it is real? Does seeing something makes it real? Hearing it? Feeling it? No it does not. We have a veil of illusions pulled over our very world, the veil of thought. The very moment we think we have fallen asleep to the world. The moment we think we know is the moment when all is undone. We do not see with our eyes we see with our brain, we do not feel with our skin we fell with our brain. We do not smell with our nose, we smell with our brain. We do not hear with our ears, we hear with our brain. We do not taste with out tongue, we taste with our brain. We do not live in a world governed by nature; we are now living in a world governed by our brain. Our very own Matrix. Everything we create with our minds such as concepts of beauty cannot be real to the natural world. However it is only given existence inside the world we have created. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;‘&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;There is no spoon’ the little boy told Neo when he went to find the Oracle in the Matrix. Can an object become beautiful if no one looks at it? If there is a world so beautiful but no one has ever seen it is it real? Is there paradise? What is paradise? Is it a beautiful place, of course it is says the people. Have you seen it people? No we have to die to go to paradise. So is beauty real? No it is not real; it is only as real as our brains make it up to be. Our world, our perception and even humanity itself, everything is perceptions. So is what I say real? I won’t count on it for I am just an idea, a beautiful idea.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5122093397672161196-4668719432378262169?l=grimoireofcorporealthought.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://grimoireofcorporealthought.blogspot.com/feeds/4668719432378262169/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5122093397672161196&amp;postID=4668719432378262169' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5122093397672161196/posts/default/4668719432378262169'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5122093397672161196/posts/default/4668719432378262169'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://grimoireofcorporealthought.blogspot.com/2008/01/beauty.html' title='Beauty'/><author><name>Elydis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14456733593321019878</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05327803991238539910'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5122093397672161196.post-143992145726036019</id><published>2007-12-11T08:48:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2007-12-11T08:54:49.669-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hirano Aya'/><title type='text'>Asita no PRISM -Aya Hirano</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;param value="http://youtube.com/v/Xn2DJSYYVVI" name="movie"&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://youtube.com/v/Xn2DJSYYVVI" height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;OMG, been a fan of Aya Hirano but never saw this MV until lately *Slaps self* She is so adorable... look at her all bubbly and jumpy. *Swoons*.

To be honest i wanted to do this for quite some time now. Just never could get my lazy ass to actually do it. Well this is my chance to pen down my thoughts and world view as well and serve as a dairy of sorts i guess. So lets start off with one of my favorite poem i did. The Rose.
