M.U.S.I.C.

Twisting and turning
Changing and climbing
It fills the air with an energy
An energy so powerful it can
Change everything

Alter emotions
Turn lives around
Inspire to do great things
Enlighten ones mind

Teach us everything
And help us carry on

It fills a dark room with light
And a bright one with life

So here I sit on a Saturday evening typing away on my laptop, not sure what this entry is even going to be about, yet I'm simply typing whatever comes to mind. I don't even know why I logged in to Blogger, but I did, and now I'm here telling you all about it. In fact I'm thinking about so many things right now I don't know how my brain hasn't exploded yet. I'm in a weird mood to say the least, yet I experience it so often. I really feel like there's so much I could share with everyone right now, yet I don't know how. Life, in all it's glorious splendour, seems clearer than it's ever been before and I sense a change. A big change that will affect everyone's lives. And it's coming soon. I don't know to describe it, but it's big. And I mean HUGE!

So why am I telling you this? Well, that's a good question with an even better answer. The answer? Well, it's unnecessary to tell you. It would change everything. And one big change is enough right now!

Still confused? Don't worry. I'm sure everyone is.

peace out

Formal Writing Assignment

Dear Madam/Sir

I am writing to you regarding my application for position of general manager at the Whangaparaoa branch of Food Town.

My name is Clark Kent and I have been the owner of a clothing store in Rotorua for about 3 years. In total, I have over 6 years of work experience and have worked at numerous shops and supermarkets. My second highest position achieved was as Head Supervisor at The Warehouse in Rotorua so I do have quite a bit of experience in this line of work.

When it comes to my work ethic, I am generally regarded as being very diligent and hard-working, and I get the job done quickly and efficiently. I’m a no-nonsense type of guy and therefore prefer to take the leadership role in a lot of situations. I’ve worked hard and worked well in all my previous jobs in order to get where I am now, so I do believe that I would be well suited to this job and that hiring me would not be something that you regret.

Thank you for considering my application and I look forward to your response.

Kind regards,

Clark Kent

Seconds Anyone?

Life. It's the one thing we as humans know best. But, at the same time, we know comparatively little about it. It is so complex that no single person could ever begin to comprehend it. Many have tried, many have failed and yet we still try our very best to figure it all out. As a species we are constantly trying to make our experience here on earth better by broadening our horizons and attempting to open the doors that were once shut. We thrive on the good experiences, but they are mixed amongst others which aren't always as good. You see, it's the bad times which make the good ones seem good. We all strive to improve on the cards we've been given. For some this is not even possible due to the circumstances they are in, whereas others are able to gain a diverse range of experiences in order to make their life seem more worthwhile. This seems like a good plan, although we only have one life, so the decisions we make better be good. Wouldn't it be so much easier if we had more than one shot at life?

But what if? What if we could live more than one life? What if we could live our life in different ways and experience more than we would otherwise have been able to? What if?

Second life. It's a buzzword. It refers to a new life humans have created. One that is based on the principles of reality but exists only in cyberspace. It's the answer to all of our desires. Or is it?

This so called 'life' that exists only in ones and zeros can make up for some of the things we crave but as with all man-made things, it has its limitations. Nothing can replace reality, although nowadays we like to think otherwise. Digital multimedia and entertainment in all its various forms is designed to keep us occupied, yet it barely even exists. It gives us a chance to escape the problems we have and descend into an alternate form of reality. A reality which gives us so many new opportunities. This surely must be the answer to all of our issues. After all, escaping from something is far easier than facing it.

The internet. What better a way to implement this whole second life idea. Having everyone in the world connected and communicating seamlessly seems great in theory, but in reality it opens up Pandora's box. Problems? You thought you had problems? Well, they just got ten times worse. You see, it turns out that actually the entire second-life-in-cyberspace ain't all that it's cracked up to be. For one, it doesn't actually exist, and secondly it cannot replace the physical life we live in.

Freedom? Say goodbye to the thought of running away. We're all connected now, so there's no hiding. You can't hide if you don't even control your own life. Second life means goodbye to freedom, privacy and everything we once were as humans. It's a disease that is spreading faster than you can imagine. You may not think so, but a lot of the modern world is built on it.

How could we ever stop such a thing? Well, I don't know we can. Hopefully it will all stop before it gets too late. I cannot guarantee anything though.
