missing number seven

so apparently Im missing the 7th blog post that was suppose to be turned in for the teacher to see. some may argue that, even in this highly advanced technological age where a signal from mars takes 30 seconds but a signal from Britain takes 2 hours, the computer messed it up and didn't upload it. I am a man of my word and will say that i did not forget to write a post, i simply have nothing to write about. i find it simply amazing how through the course of 8 weeks, one can talk about everything that can come to mind and still have nothing more to write about. I can talk about the election but no one will listen. I can talk about my self but no one will care. its the kind of world that we live in now a days that makes you sit down and think. why is the world like this, because we let it happen. 

but enough of that for now. today, instead of some random mumbling that i tend to do in my head, i will leave you with some interesting quotes that i pick up every now and again. please note that these are actual quotes and i am not liable for what these people say. courtesy of  of zenpencils.com for unknowingly influencing me to use their comics as influence for others.

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate, 
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
-William Ernest Henley

It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very,very small.

imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religon too
Imagine all the people living life in peace

You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world

You,you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one.
-John Lennon

(not zenpencil but close enough)

Here's an interesting form of murder we come up with: Assassination. you know what's interesting about assassination? well not only does it change those popularity polls in a big fucking hurry, but it's also interesting to notice who it is we assassinate. did you ever notice who it is? stop to think who it is we kill? it's always people who've told us to live together in harmony and try to love one another. Jesus, Gandhi, Lincoln, John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, Malcom X, John Lennon. They all said: Try To Live Together Peacefully. BAM. Right in the fucking head. Apparently we're not ready for that.
