A New Day
Sorry to say that Christmas is just another day for me this year, nothing exciting has happened no great plans are afoot.
I got myself a gift though
Dead or Alive 5 for the Xbox, and I managed to fix my Xbox which had succumbed to the RROD (Red Rings of Death) so I’ve been rather enjoying this game. Which while on the outside may look like a thinly veiled excuse to play a game with a large quantity of extremely well endowed scantily clad women
the fact is thats just a bonus for a really well designed and complex fighting system…really it is
And the other fun thing to come is that I will with luck be seeing the Hobbit soon in our local Cinema.
TheCinema is tiny and really not that great…but it is bigger than the screens at home and I’m quite looking forwards to it
By the way no thats not one of the Dwarves, thats the portrait I chose for my Halfling character in an old and awesome computer game called Baldur’s Gate
And other than that I will be here, probably having a quiet time of it with my folks. May your Christmasses/Xmas/Holidays whatever you want to call them be what you wish them to be
Might try a poem now…not sure what it’s going to be about though, as yet…so it’ll be a nice surprise
~~~
Once
I
was a single
I
Then I chose a concious lie
and split apart into three.
Heart
Mind
And body.
The Mind got loose and built great walls
Hoping to protect us all.
The Heart got quiet and subtly still
Prefering to wait and will.
The Body lost its voice and both its guides
loyaly waiting for their call.
And
I
was imprinted on it all.
Each one of me went here and there
Finding joys, fears and care
Sometimes we’d meet and try to get along
But our simpatico was all but gone.
Then one day
I
Felt so low
Empty
Drained
About to blow
and
I
wondered where did
me
Go?
So giving my mind something shiny to catch
A swinging ticking ornate watch.
And giving my heart something to feel
Flowing, glowing softly light.
Placing my body in aware repose
Muscles calm almost asleep, folded hands and crossed feet.
And I searched and searched and hoped
Had I lost the golden rope?
My mind dropped into despair, no logical structure could be there.
My Heart turned to stone, perhaps the light of love had flown.
My body ached and struggled to move, bored and used to habits whip.
And then in all my lost confusion
I
Realised my mistake.
I
Wasn’t lost, it wasn’t too late
I
Was there
I
Always was.
Sitting quiet behind it all
I
Had be playing myself the fool.
Shattering glass to see the play, of reflected me’s running in different ways.
But no matter the chaos and labyrinthine lines
I
Was there all this time.
Sinking for a sacred moment, my mind had peace, my heart knew love, my body curled within the hand above.
Together we knew me and
I
Was smiling from the sky.
It won’t last, we’ll take our seperate paths
We must.
But now I know in
My mind
My Heart
My body
We are a soul.

Merry Xmas to you all

I really liked your poem!
Great piece.
Have a lovely day, Bede!
Lovely poem! I’m jealous that you have an Xbox hahah
@Marica0701 - Hehe so did I
had no idea if it’d be anything when I started but it hangs together quite nicely and even rhymed with the merry xmas at the bottom lol
Hope you are having a lovely day too Marica
Oh yeah btw some of your halloween chocolates have become VERY well travelled since I sent some off to another Xangan not so long ago
@Hdyhadon - :) thank you!
yeah I was rather lucky with that Xbox, not only was it given to me free, but I managed to save it from death already
fingers crossed it’ll stay alive.
Sending you lots of warm hugs and love from Ohio this holiday season, I will send you a message soon–just have been busy and today I have to pack for a trip I am taking on Saturday to visit my father for awhile–which it will be really good to see him and to spend more time with my mother. Sadly, my boyfriend has been sick this holiday and he feels bad that he has been sick, but it has been a great holiday nonetheless.
I love the poem! It’s kind of amazing when you just write from the heart and aren’t sure where it will end, and then it ends in such a profound way. Nice theory of the soul. As for the scantily clad women game LOL, I’m sure that was not at all the motivation!
Glad the XBox got fixed! Sorry I’m so late posting my Merry Christmas wish here!
Lovely poem
Glad you were able to save the xbox! PLAY ALL THE GAMES!!! 
@Endless21Echos - Hey Erin!

@EmilyandAtticus - Yeah
I much prefer to have inspiration guide me than plan it out…mostly because all my planned stuff sucks lol
Glad you liked it…would I get a good grade? hehe
It’s a very good technical fighting game too
….just need to play it a bit longer to start unlocking the bikini outfits hahaha
@xdeelynnx - And it’s even STILL working
which considering the roughness with which i fixed it is quite amazing
haha
Don’t worry i’ll be playing as many as I can
