He would answer to Hi!
or to any loud cry
such as fry me, or fritter my wig
to what may you call him,
or what was his name
but especially thing-um-a-jig

For those who preferred a more forcible word,
he had Different names from these
His intimate friends called him candle ends
and his enemies, Toasted cheese.

The Hunting of The Snark
Lewis Carol


Aha. Greetings, Internet Crusaders!

I think it is best that you are exposed to that truly scrumtralescent bit of Poetry from The immortal "Hunting of The snark", An almost completely nonsensical story, somewhere along the lines of Alice in Wonderland.



Since my whole blog cannot be just amazing quotes, I'll give you a blog, ad intirim.

I have been told, of late, That this coming thursday is thanksgiving. In relation to this, it has been stated that you are what you eat.

If this is true, then i am Human. A weak, frightened human.

But on a lighter note, we are getting the next five days off of school. I have every intention of spending the break writing poetry and drawing. Thank you for asking. I haven't much to say, on this fine morrow, but i will give you lots of awesome quotes....



It's been a pleasure.

Aleksandr the impaler

Random Poem!

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate;
I am the captain of my soul.

Invictus
William Earnest Henley

Hello Ladies and Germs!



I just flew in from Livonia, and man, my arms are tired!

Not funny? ok then. let's get down to buisness.



Guess what time it is!!!!!! It is time for the multianual Alek's favorite things episode!!!!!!!!!!

Lets get this thing rolling.



My current favorite word is Capricious.

Capricious means something is governed by sudden, impulsive, actions that are apparently completely unmotivated and generally eratic. Also, quite wonderfully, the "obsolete" meaning is fanciful, and witty. That is indeed quite magnificent.....



Yay! What is my favorite Shakespeare play, you ask?

Hmm.... let me think......

I would most certainly say that my favorite shakespeare play is definately Hamlet.
And don't think that it's just because of his magnificent "to be, or not to be" soliloquy, though it is amazing. I can also really identify with the fact that basically the whole play is deciding to kill someone....

Well, after that, it only seems fair to say my favorite book.
My current favorite book is "Group psychology and the analysis of the ego", by Sigmund Freud. It is truly fascinating, though many, if not most of his ideas have been outmoded.

My favorite movie is definately Hero, The artsy Chinese Martial Arts flick, in which the same story is told from many different points of view, each person's recolection represented by a different color.... Awesome.

Oh yea. guess my favorite hoody.... http://www.skeletonhoodie.com/

I suppose that's all i got. Aleks out.

Ah. my favorite quote- Flectere si nequeo, Acherenta movebo


Aha. Here you go. I almost forgot your Random link.
