Langley's Blog

I find it odd that some black stains on a white page can mean so much and call into question your own thoughts, ideals and personality.

Some of the things on a page can make you laugh; they can make you cry. They can be prophetic whereas some can be ludicrous.

I have been reading a book that has been on this planet for around five hundred years, written in now what we call Italy to a leader as a rule book on what to do to keep power.

Know it? Machiavelli - The Prince.

It pointed out some things to me that I need to change in my day to day life. I need to more like how he describes to the said prince. But you have to pick the times correctly for when you're going to implement what you have planned.

People asked me why I didn't do anything in October, why I didn't pull my punches; show my cards. Well, it's not the time, nor is this. A time will come when things will be used for maximum effect and at the age of 20 isn't that.

I think I need to be more like Machiavelli, I know that a lot of people who have seen this side of me at University already think that I am. To quote one "You're one of the most calculating people I have ever met." This is quasi-true. Most of the time I don't actually realize what I am doing, and things just fall into place without even realizing what I am doing.

Anyway, enough of this.

I nearly own all of Vonnegut's books. Just think that in September, I had none.

Talking to Michelle last night online she was talking about a guy that she once knew that reminded her of me. How she was talking about him, it was a basic vision of my future. It was scary and just how I saw it unfolding. Who knows if it's going to happen like that, but well... who knows.

Life is funny like that.

Sometimes it isn't funny at all.

Ta ta.
