more on beauty

i promised you a poem, and ive been talking about beauty, so i thought i'd post a poem on beauty
this is one i wrote for a previous girlfriend, to be honest, i cant remember which one (sorry!) but nevertheless here it is (ignore the last verse if you dont want to read a sappy love poem, thats not what this is really)

beauty is in the eye of the beholder,
but if you dont see your own beauty,
no one else will be able to see,
the beauty that you cant see,

its all a matter of opinion
beauty isnt real,
beauty is fake,
but it is beautiful

why do we cry?
why do we smile?
why do we laugh?
it is all for beauty

what is beautiful?
words on a page?
an image on a screen?
or is it more than that?

beauty is love
love is beauty
i love you,
you are beautiful...

beauty and the beast

they say 'beauty is skin deep'

i disagree

beauty is not skin deep, beauty is much deeper.

good looks are skin deep, but being good looking is not the same as being beautiful

at the risk of sounding incredibly cliché, beauty comes from the soul

it comes from the heart

if someone has inner beauty, it shines outwards

not to everyone, because not everyone wants to see true beauty, and i say it sucks to be them, but if you look for it, you will find beauty where you least expect it

you may think you are 'the beast,' and a part of you is

the part of you that blocks your dreams, and doesnt let you believe in yourself,

THAT is the beast

but you, you are the beauty, you are beautiful

Soon! I promise!

That poem will come! I promise!

The Teenage Alchemist

Today I saw a play. I saw a staged reading of a draft of a play called "The Teenage Alchemist." I loved it. It was incredibly well written, and followed two teenage cancer victims and how they interact through the web. One character, Joshua, reminded me of myself, imaginitive, perceptive, out there, intelligent (dare I say it) and optimistic. He has a blog and has a secret wish to be a superhero.
After the play, there was a Q&A with the Theatre company director and the author. Someone critiscised the reality of a 16yo wanting to be a superhero, and in defending the play, I made a fool of myself.
See, I want to be a superhero. I want to be like iron man, or spider man or something and be more than me. That is my fantasy.

Coming up

Oh and I'll pen a new poem tommorow, watch this spot.

My newest interest

As I've mentioned previously, my two main loves are Technology (mainly Apple) and Theatre (mainly Musical). I know have a new one. Superhero Comics (mainly Marvel). I read heaps of them over the holidays, mainly the Marvel storylines of Civil War, Runaways and Marvel Zombies. The depth of the characters and even the realism (it's weird isn't it?) was just amazing.

On the Apple Tech front, there's an event tonight, I guess I will find out when I wake up.

Home Sweet School

And I am back, back here at school where I belong. It's weird when you're a boarder, coming back to school is like returning home. You grunt and complain like everyone else, bit secretly you really really want to get back and see your friends. I know day students get the same type of felling, but when you live with your friends you become like family. And family are the closest things you can keep to your heart, and home is where the heart is. So I'm back, Home Sweet School.
