Profound Lines

You know from time to time you see a movie, quite often one you have seen a couple of times, but for whatever reason, this time you hear something different. Cryptic yep, but I am an avid anime fan, have been for as long as I can remember.  The first Anime movie I ever watched was Ghost In The Shell.  Most people who read this will have never seen it, unless your Japanese then you most likely have.  Like all Japanese Anime it delves into topics that cannot be covered in other media.  I have seen this film maybe 100 times, but today, today something stood out.  Introverted maybe but it stood out to me. There are countless ingredients that make up the Human Body and Mind. Like all the components that make up me as an individual with my own personality.  Sure I have a face and a voice to distinguish myself from others.  But my thoughts and my memories belong only to me and I carry my own sense of destiny. Each of those things are just a small par...

If you knew

Hi all I know a lot of my stuff has a dark edge but I think this one is a little different.  I actually pondered this on the way back from the city this afternoon.

How do Dragons Die

Dragons have an endless fascination for me.  So I wondered how long does a Dragon live and how do they die. I found out the following THE GREAT WYRMS If a dragon lives past the age of 900 years, they are considered a Great Wyrm, and an Elder of the dragon community. All dragons will hold a great meeting to admit the new Great Wyrm to the society of dragons. Great Wyrms are highly regarded for their knowledge, their magical ability, and their prime wisdom. Elders are responsible for the teaching of past history of dragon kind, history of the world, and magic to the adult dragons. If there is an emergency that includes the dragon community, the Elders will call a grand-meeting to discuss the problem and what to do about it. These are the only two times in a dragon's life that they will see so many of their kind in one area. END OF THE LIFE-CYCLE A dragon rarely lives past 1,500. When the time comes, the dragon realizes his life-cycle has come t...
