About Me

!nversed Poignancy!

...I am an eclectic amalgamation of many seemingly paradoxical things. This can be exemplified in both my seemingly endless persistance on many topics and arguments, as well as my careful cautiousness on other topics and arguments. This is largely due to how astute I am of the topic: more knowledge, more persistant; less knowledge, obviously more cautious. I also have times of obsessive compulsions regarding certain things (mostly just my thoughts, however)...

Life and Death

!nversed Poignancy!

Life

An assembly

Possibly impossible

Perfectly interchangeable..

Death

That lives most upright

Beyond the unspoken

Neither a squiggle nor a quibble..

She and Me

!nversed Poignancy!

She

A daffodil

Tyrannizer of me

Breaking the colors of dusk!..

Me

The rising sun

Infringed with violations

The impurity in the salt..

Love and Poetry!

!nversed Poignancy!

Love

A puerile desire

Buried in the heart

Never leaves..

Poetry

Sentimentally melodramatic

Cursively recursive

My thoughts idiotic!

Lies..

Lies have a different sound
you have to use your mind
if you want to understand
the meaning of life
and they who want
can follow a plan


Law of Three
Law of Seven
and you will find
heaven

Forget what you have learned
it is not true
there were some men
that would not give up
their power
that is why we
today cannot
find the right way


There is a man
you can believe
he is dead but he
was wise
and he never told
any lies
he knew the way
The Fourth Way
but you must be willing
to forget
that life in the way
we know it
is nothing worth
and the first step
you have to take
is to be aware of
your speech
because what comes out
is not always the truth

And the second step
is to try to remember yourself
and what it feels
like to be awake
and the third step
is to accept
that you are a man
not a super human being
that is above the
48 laws in our world
and the fourth step
is learning how to
see and feel
the important things
we need for fuel in
our machinery
if you understand
something of this
you are on the right course
heading against
The Fourth Way

When and how to use those three dots "..."

These 3 little dots are called "ellipsis". Now these little dots elicited quite a few comments from around the world, as they are almost always used incorrectly. You will see them in magazines, books, on websites, in newsletters, just used randomly.

In defence of our school systems around the world, I must say it's possible that a lot of us were never taught about ellipsis - yes, we were drilled to learn spelling, grammar, punctuation, parts of speech ... but ellipsis? I certainly don't remember ... although ... perhaps it was when I was off school having my appendix removed? :-) Well, that's my excuse!

Helen of UK, Bob of USA, Lee of USA all wrote in to clear this up for us.

When you want to use *...* in emails and letters, there is a rule to follow.

word space dotdotdot space word

An example is, "The door opened slowly ... then she heard the scream!"

When to use 4 dots instead of 3 ....

When the ellipsis is used at the end of a sentence, put four dots, for example:

* "He always wanted to have the last word .... His employees didn't like him at all."

Such a simple thing, but many people forget to put the space on either side of the three dots (fullstops/periods).

As with all things grammatical, different English speaking countries can have different rules [as well as different spelling and pronunciation!], so bear this in mind as you learn on the internet.
