My attempt at writing a poem like thing

-----------------------------

I am an ant,
I am a fool;
I toil endlessly,
I pursue aimlessly.

I am no fay,
I am taught to slay;
A mere mortal,
drowned in battle.

I spawn a spiral,
A cycle unfathomably eternal.
A spiral is infinite,
A dream has no limit.

The curse of mortality,
bestowed upon me;
The inevitability of death,
upon my last breath.

Am I the beginning,
or am I the end?
The line is thinning,
between enemy and friend.

Who am I?
Am I you,
or am I me?
I am you,
and I am me.
I am the being called human.

-----------------------------
A rough meaning of the lines:

Para 1 -
Being born as a human, you are destined to work, and achieve something in life. But since we are unaware of the ultimate goal for humanity, we work without aim.

Para 2 -
I am not a fairy or an angel. I am an ordinary mortal. I fight with my own kind, and I am taught to be merciless and unforgiving. I am taught to beat everyone, to achieve superiority, rather than work in coherence.

Para 3 -
I breed and procreate. My offspring breeds and spawns new offspring. The cycle is endless, just like a spiral. The metaphor extends to hint that a dream has no boundaries.

Para 4 -
The day I'm born as a human, I am destined to work hard, to make a statement, to achieve something, before I am finally laid to rest. This is my fate, whether I like it or not.

Para 5 -
The birth of mankind: Was it the beginning of something new and extraordinary, or was it the beginning of the end of the world? Over time, we move into a world where we would rather fight someone rather than admitting to our mistakes, and in the process breed hatred and destroy harmony.

Para 6-
Who is the creature that the lines talk of? It is the species that you and I belong to, the human race. I am like you in the sense that we are human, but I am not like you because you and I have distinct features that make us different.

So that was it. My attempt at writing something pretty fucking deep, without being biased. I hope you liked it. If not, that's alright. You'll find something else on the internet that you might like.
Phew, that was heavy. Now, time to switch to something stupid, silly and light. Twerking, jerking, eyebrow hair, squirrel fur, cat crap, sea-lion whiskers, yelling for no reason, laughing at nothing, goats and goatees and goats with goatees (go tease? go teas?).
Have a good day / night everybody! I'm outta here.

Parenting and Stuff (Stupid Stupid Stupid)

      How you doin' y'all! Two blog posts in two days! This is crazy shit, ain't it.

So how's it going everyone? I have a fracture on my toe and things are moving a bit too slowly lately.

      So I was watching a bunch of videos on YouTube now, and I read a bunch of comments posted on each video. There's something that alarmed me a little. A lot of the people posting comments are kids! Who belong to ages around 8 to 14! Jesus fuckin' Christ! If I know something about YouTube, its that the commenting community there is the most brutal community on the planet. So parents, please please please, make sure that your kids aren't online watching or posting YouTube videos. Not until they're old enough. So, this made me think a little. What are some of the things that parents should be concerned about today. Also, made me realize that when we become parents (assuming you're not one yet), a world of hell awaits us. (Sometimes I think I'm going to better off without kids. We'll have to wait and see what happens). So parents or parents to be, check this out.

• Don't introduce YouTube to your kids at a very early age. And in case they already know, make sure there's a content monitoring feature loaded up.
• Talk to your kids about sex, when the time is right. Be gentle about it. Or make attempts to fix things if your kid already stumbled upon sex through the internet or something.
• Explain puberty and make your kids feel comfortable about it during the phase. Again, be gentle about it.
• Help your kids do new things, develop hobbies, read good books, practice some of arts and crafts, and things like that.
• Don't buy your kid a smartphone or a hi-tech gadget at a young age. That'll ruin the kid's communication pretty early on. He / she might end up loving the phone more than he / she loves you.
• Keep a content monitoring feature on every device at home.

     Ok I'm done. The problem is that, I realize that these measures may strangle the kid's freedom. I obviously don't intend to do that. But, then again, parents run the risk of getting their kids scarred for life at a very early age. Well, at the very least, I think the parents need to be aware of what's happening in their kids' lives, even if they can't stop certain things from happening. At the end of the day, I think that if you want to be a good parent, you just have to be there for your kid, no matter what. 

    I think I'll end this here. That was probably just a random rant post that made you wanna throw a pumpkin at me (laughs). Sorry about that. Just felt like typing this rubbish before I forgot all about it. Anyway, night folks. I'm outta here!

Hormones

     How's it going y'all? I trust y'all're doing well!

     Hormones. I've kept wondering about hormones for a really long time now. Just FYI, this blog post is not going to be concerned with the biological aspects of hormones. This is just a general view from a guy who knows pretty much nothing about the biology behind hormones.

     So yeah. Hormones. What the hell are they! I have no idea. I can only tell what I know from my experiences. Hormones are things in your body that make you do things that your mind wouldn't normally allow you to do. I'm not sure if I'm right about that, but I think I am, at least to some extent. Some hormonal experiences that one might normally experience are adrenaline rushes, testosterone rushes, estrogen rushes, dopamine rushes, and so on. Sorry if I'm not saying it right, but you'll have to excuse my crude style of writing here.

     I think I'll talk about some of my own personal experiences.

• I'd say that my hormonal experiences began in the 9th or 10th grade. Roughly when I was around 14-15 years of age. But that was hardly anything, because I was barely aware nor did I even care. Back then, I was too into video games, computer games, online lotteries, cartoons, playing cricket and tv shows (what a nerd right - laughs). I never cared for things like hormones. But yes, I vaguely remember that that was when the hormones started kicking in slowly. And I think it was more or less stable until I was 17.
• Once I reached 17 or early 18, all hell broke loose (laughs!). My hormones started acting up every now and then and god knows that I slipped into a shell of some sort when that happened. I don't know if that's common or normal, that a person goes into a shell because of uncontrollable hormonal reactions. And this time, I was aware that my hormones had gotten violent and aggressive. And here comes my favorite battle - The Mind versus The Hormones! More often than not, my mind told me to do one thing, and my hormones pulled me in the completely opposite direction. Such internal conflicts are just fucking awful. I probably don't even have to elaborate on the consequences, but I will. A little bit. People might start thinking you're awkward and shy. You might hurt people and may not even realize it. You might get hurt in the process too. You might overreact over nothing (probably the most popular consequence of hormonal reactions.). You might end up doing something weird or crazy or despicable or awkward or stupid or lame...or all of them. So, you get my point. But...occasionally there's a plus side to certain hormonal reactions. Adrenaline rushes can make you do things you normally wouldn't able to. Testosterone and estrogen reactions are the only way to make reproduction possible. Dopamine is the reason you feel a real/fake sense of elation (I think). But in the real world, I personally would say that hormonal reactions, if not controlled properly, could lead to some pretty nasty consequences.
• For me, that freaky hormonal stage lasted till I was 21 or so. But when I became 21, I somehow started making decisions that were "mature" and "responsible". In retrospect, when I look at the big picture, I'd say that those decisions were some of the better decisions I've made. 
• Funny enough, I thought that the mature and responsible and safe stage was going to last forever. Boy, was I wrong. When I became 23, for some reason, I had had enough of the 'lets play it safe and lets keep everyone happy' attitude. So I became more of a 'follow your instincts, don't care about the rest of the world' kind of person. And as you can expect, that kind of attitude leads to a more impulsive reactive nature. I didn't even notice it. And to be honest, the whole thing may not be a hormonal reaction at all, but I'm still in that stage. Right now, I just follow my instincts, no matter what. So far, so good.

     I had the urge to illustrate some of my hormonal experiences with examples, just to be more clear and straightforward about what I'm saying. But I feel like I shouldn't talk about them here. 

     So it makes me wonder. In a skewed sense, what are hormones? Isn't it odd that a powerful tool like the mind can be overpowered by hormones? (at least for an average person). When do we give in to hormones, and when do we fight them? It's just nuts! And the worst part is that when hormones get to extremes, it could result in the creation of an awful pandemonium. Again, I won't elaborate on that here.

     So, if you find the topic interesting or intriguing, let me know. I look forward to having a fun discussion with you and take a look at your perspective on hormones. Have a great day/night! I'm outta here.
