Autobiography - Douglas A. ChombiX

ChombiX's picture

I like horses. I own (n)one. None if they've to be physically manifested and own a horse rider themselves. One if they can live in the avatars of humans like me. They say all horses are the same color (The Horse Paradox - I don't believe in it).I don't care about the color, just to be on the safe side I chose the black one. Color is neither good or bad, nor is it neutral - so why bother? The truth is color bothers me. I like maroon. I'm not sure though.

If you made it this far, I don't suck at writing.

They say we got millions of colors, why choose one? Now and then I like another color, but now that I've already said I like maroon, I can't say I like another one or else you guys will think of me as ... (what's the word?) - English is not my first language so don't blame me for giving u a Fill-in-the-blank exercise. We appear to be able to use simple English to define a decimal expansion in a way which is self-contradictory (Richard's Paradox - better than the horse paradox coz may be I do belive in it, or do I?). Dunno why I've to use Englishmen's mother tongue to describe sth I'd have been better off describing in my own tongue, I'm not talking about Amharic either. My tongue.

If you are still reading this, I'm considering being a writer.

Definition: Tongue,a red piece of meat residing in a cave called the mouth, used for testing or to give a perception of testing for its owner from an electrical signal from the brain. I'm waiting for the day where we all think about saying something and there it is - written, no need of tongues. Why waste 20 minutes talking about myself? It's a waste. Brain-wave technology, where are thou? I'm a fan of technology, not because I like it but because I've to - my career is in tech's hands. C'mon brain-waves, where are thou? Counting back from three, any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic or so said Clarke. He is not right because I dunno much like he does, or does he or do I not? Magic? I got tons of questions not answered yet, yet u throw another thing on my not-so-handsome face? C'mon. I'm black, not 'burned' like the Arabs thought. More skin pigment said the scientists. They have a way of describing the obvious. The not-so-obvious things will be obvious soon or so I think. Of course. We couldn't think of talking on the mobile phone just 50 years ago . That'd have been magic. Now that I know it, it ain't magic. What's magic then? What's all out there not yet described? I hear someone saying something, don't say it. An AUer says AUers are coOL. Why is it that I'm writing this? I don't want people to read it coz anytime you wish to demonstrate something, the number of faults is proportional to the number of viewers. Stop reading. (Just kidding, I'm not like the smart advertisers who drive traffic by telling u not to see). Go on, read.

This paragraph is intentionally left blank.
Is it?

Just to read that I'm done. Almost. Finishing stuff ain't my specialty, I start 'em. It doesn't suffice or does it? A black horse, a black rider. Give way. STOP

post.EOF(); //If you understand this, you can change the world or create your own.
post.SUBMIT();
post.READERS.SALUTE();
post.DBO.SLEEP();

If you got here, almost done. I just made a reader out of you.

Wow! I am not being nice

Wow!
I am not being nice when I say that I didn't feel Douglas Adam's writing like I felt yours (maybe it is because of the soft tunes from the TV as I was reading this). U might think I am crazy but I could almost see into your mind from this writing. I have never said that about any other writing before so kudos!
I hope this is not one of those 'once in a blue moon' moments and I will see more of your writing.


.... really?

Thanks tommy, Quite a

Thanks tommy,

Quite a compliment I can say, I feel proud Smiling - I'm considering being a blogger. It's my hope that I won't write once in a blue moon like u said.

Well, it's not every time that you feel write-y, especially if you ain't a writer and in fact if ur job has got nothing to do with writing at all (hmmm... except code) Laughing out loud.

You know what... I now know why writers are so passionate about writing, it's like painting or haaaaaahhhh... what' this word?! - YEAH, keeps 'em on the edge.

Beth, 0.999 < 0.999... = 1

Thank you! Beth,

0.999 < 0.999... = 1 (Well, mostly equal.)

hehe...nice read indeed!
surprisingly, a great writer does not touch us by beautifully using poignant words to describe things, he/she just lets us come up with own.....or so i just learnt after reading your forum today Smiling
