I don't like to put my religious life out there on the internet, but I feel like this is something that I should post, just because I have a speech and I kind of want more people to hear it. Check it out below the break.

It's Raining Somewhere Else - A Midnight Rambling On Empathy

8:19 AM 3 Comments A+ a-



I've got to say, my favourite song from the soundtrack of Undertale is "It's Raining Somewhere Else," which appears when you are in the restaurant with Sans. If you don't know what I'm talking about, here's a link to a brilliant play through by +jacksepticeye. Of course, if you really want to get the full experience of the game, you would support Toby Fox (the creator of the game) and spend the $10 on the game itself.

I'm not here to talk about the game, so much as the name of the song, and how it relates to me. In the scene that "It's Raining Somewhere Else" appears in, you deal with some pretty heavy stuff (that's all I'll say. No spoilers.).  So, the name really tells us about the nature of the situation with the protagonist and Sans.

I have an overdeveloped sense of empathy, so much to the point that I will let other people's problems get to me, and that affects my daily life and the lives of my loved ones. "It's Raining Somewhere Else" gives me a sense of peace, knowing that just because it's raining somewhere else, doesn't mean that I need to get all upset. Why should I get upset if I'm in Tokyo and it's raining in Kyoto?

Thanks for reading my little midnight ramble.
Cheers, DFTBA, and Good Night.

April Was a Disaster. Let Me Tell You Why.

I'm going to be quite honest here, Camp NaNo didn't go quite as well as I had hoped. What was supposed to be another great story writing adventure really just turned into me stressing over the ACT that I had to take and the different projects that I had going on. Not a lot of fun. But hey! At least I got a good lesson out of it!

Flash #1 - Somebody Who Matters

     "It's your choice," The boy started. "You can continue your worthless life, or you can become someone who matters." The girl made a face.
     "You call being immortal, someone who matters?" She asked incredulously. "You will live a sadder, ongoing life, than I will in however many days I have left."
     "Twenty six."
     "What?"
     "I said twenty six. That's how many days you have left. Don't ask how I know, I just do."
   
     The girl took a few seconds to think this through. 'Twenty six days?' She thought to herself. 'No, that can't be right.'
     "You're lying." She decided. "You have to be lying. There is no way that you could know that. I choose not to believe in you, and in not believing in you, you cease to exist. Goodbye Bennet." Bennet looked down at his slowly fading hands.
     "No, Chloe! Don't do this! Please!" But it was too late, for he was no longer audible above the sound of Chloe sobbing, mourning her lost love.
