pray tell...

it's 3.30 am. i'm not asleep yet.

here's some stuff i've read but never really 'got' ie 'understood' lah. but i thought they were quite cool nevertheless. so, if you have any ideas. please, pray tell...

1st one:
one describes a tale best by telling the tale. you see? the way one describes a story, to oneself or to the world, is by telling the story. it is a balancing act and a dream.
the more accurate the map, the more it resembles the territory.
the most accurate map possible would be the territory, and thuswould be perfectly accurate and perfectly useless.

the tale is the map and that is the territory.
you must remember this.

so what was that about? :)

2nd one: i understand this one lah - but i thought i'd share it with ya...
people are in the dark, they don't know what to do,
i had a little lantern, oh but it got blown out too.
i'm reaching out my hand. i hope you are too.
i just want to be in the dark with you.
- George Brown, "In the Dark"

you know anyone you'd like to be in the dark with? :)

3rd one:
he said the dead had souls, but when i asked him how that could be - i thought the dead were souls, he broke my trance.
don't that make you suspicious that there's something the dead are keeping back?
yes, there's something the dead are keeping back.
- Robert Frost, "Two Witches".

i guess this one is pretty self explanatory but i can't help thinking that i'm missing something from this. :)

anyway, this is just me wasting some time lah.

btw, these 'quotes' are taken from the book AMERICAN GODS. a good book.

later.

signing off, the common jack amongst the kings and queens.
