Momentum . . . .

Well, looking around the blogs abit I'm noticing more and more people who use it as brief descriptions about what they've been doing for the past few days OR combinations of pictures and even more descriptions about outings they've been to and stuff.

I for one, love it. . . . .and I really don't think its just me.

I mean how can you not ? Its like reading the gossip column of the masses. And occasionally, you get rewarded with some eyecandy as well. Eheh. What? Its not the ONLY reason I read blogs. Sheesh. And you might be asking why don't I follow the masses in posting pictures of me going out with flashy outfits and fleshy women . . . . ? I don't know really. I guess for me its easier to get whats in my head out rather than trouble my head to remember what I did 2 nights ago in some bar/club .

Either way, writers and their writings have been spurring our imaginations and have been one of the best outputs for individuals for time immemorial. And so, I've decided to put down a few of the writers whose work has intrigued and at times inspired me.

Neil Strauss ~ I tip my hat off to a man who can seduce as many women as he has based on 'charm' alone and actually write a book about it. However, thats not why he's on this list. He wrote the book title The Game which was about him infiltrating the ranks of pick up artists and learning from them in the process becoming the best of them. Though the book was not a step by step guide to picking up women as I initially thought it would be, it WAS one of the most interesting and entertaining books I have read till .
Robert E. Howard ~ Mostly for creating the character Conan the Barbarian. I guess it was more to the stories he found himself in. Stories which tell just how treacherous and selfish the world sometimes is, and though equipped with nothing but personal honour and wit , anything is possible.


Neil Gaiman ~ Where Conan was a character whose story revolves around him treading through his everyday life, Neil Gaiman manages to take things from your everyday life and introducing them into fantastic stories with all kinds of characters who , amazingly , have deep personalities and idiosyncracies of their own. In other words, Neil has the ability to take something and make a universe out of it.


Spider Jerusalem ~ Okay, this one is a fictional writer/reporter but not one to be overlooked either way. Coming from the graphic novels Transmetropolitan , SJ is an outlaw writer who rights wrongs and stick it up to the man through the written medium and succesfully inspires the people of his country to fight against an insane megalomaniac president who was gunning for him . His story draws some similarities into some real life issues regarding politics and he reminds me of a real life blogger that i know of but thats about all I'll say. Either way, Transmetropolitan is a story fueled with anarchy , idealism and conspiracies with Spider J right at the centre of it all.


Bram Stoker ~ For the man who gave us the Vampire and introducing a new kind of horror to the world. . . . . I bet he's turning in his grave right now with the release of the Twilight , New Blood movies. . . . .hell even The Count from Sessame Street was a whole lot better.


Well I wanted to add more of writers like Dante, Mary Shelley but I'm just too darn lazy. I have a very very very limited attention span. If anyone has any writers or books/stories that they think is any good, do tell. I'm aching for a good read.

MPDG

Manic Pixie Dream Girls. Thats what Hollywood has coined their larger than life female characters who seem like every man's perfect dream girl. Two of the best examples of these MPDGs are Natalie Portman in Garden State and Audrey Hepburn in the timeless classic Breakfast at Tiffany's . Both these characters exude charisma, wit and are gorgeous to boot.

Its these characters that make us, men look for something unattainable and you women try to be something unachievable. However, not all is lost. My personal opinion on this matter would be there is no such thing as a dream girl BUT there is a girl that dreams are made of. A girl that you know is going to be in your dreams not because she's tall, nubile, with model good looks but because there is just SOMETHING about her. Be it the way she smiles, the way her nose wiggles when she laughs or even the slight glitter in her eye when she listens to your lame assed jokes. Now thats a girl dreams are made off.

I know I know I know . . you're asking yourself "This little shit has been reading too much romance novels and watching too many chick flicks " . Well thats where you're wrong , gumbo. Meet the girls that MY dreams are made of :

The Green Princess : Possessing a peculiar kind of beauty ( almost 'fierce' in a way). Admittedly, I didn't really think much about her the first time I met her. But after getting to know her through chats, threats regarding a pool cue if i remember correctly and her semi-unhealthy fascination hairstyles I became more and more intrigued by this Green Princess.
She carries herself with an interesting flair that for some reason makes me a little speechless whenever I'm near or talking to her . Its annoying really. I think its because she's just THAT girl. The girl with 'the girl next door' looks and 'she's one of the guys' attitude. A potent combination which drove me clinically insane just thinking about it. Heh. Best part is, she doesn't know about it at all.
Anyway, she's the type of girl you don't meet much in one's lifetime . .. which makes me wonder whether I should shake her boyfriend's(past,present and future) hand or ripe his fucking spine out.

The Ice : Intelligent. Charming. Sexy. Beautiful. Obscenely Rich. And about the funniest person I've met. I'm not much for older women but by God, they don't make em like her anymore. A self-titled cougar with a certain taste for lackluster men and a raging sex drive. Seeing her work her stuff . . . its like watching Marilyn Monroe work Frank Sinatra, JFK and his wife at the same time. Hahahaha.
However, therein lies the tragedy.Beneath the sultry smiles, the sexual innuedos and the endless flirting and more . . . .there lies a sad lonely girl. Due to tragically frustrating personal problems, endless cigarettes and bad love her self image has been going down the drain in torrents and in the process losing her self worth. Its is truly sad to look at her in the state she sometimes find herself in and to watch her drown in her whirlpool of despair and tragedy. Yet, I do believe that she only needs the right person to love her for who and all that she is and walk through both their lives hand in hand together.

The Girl from Sangrias: Okay this one is just one of those random people you see when you're out which you just canNOT get out of your head. Hell its been so long ago I don't even remember why I went out in the first place. Face of a pixie-nymph , body like a battleaxe. She.Was.Gorgeous. Fucckkkkkkkk.


Anyway,I wanted to post a few more but I really don't wanna risk reliving any old depressing feeling that come up once i start recalling them.
I'm just saying that for those of you guys who keep thinking about this dream girl that will suddenly appear out of nowhere for you to sweep into your magic castles . .. . wake the fuck up. These girls are all around you get to know them.
And as for the ladies, whenever you feel down or just think you're about the ugliest/stupidest/shortest/whatever person in the world . . .wake the fuck up. Chances are, you're in someone's dreams.
