I SURVIVED!!!!

Yes! I survived! The fact that I'm writing this post, shows it...granted I did make a few mistakes...but I doubt anyone noticed...anyway...ready for the riddles!

Here's what I posted up last week:

You cannot see it,

Yet it's there,

But you know that

It's everywhere,

A life without it,

Is no life at all,

A life with it,

Can stand up tall,

We know it is

What we need,

We take it for granted,

Even in our sleep.

So what was the answer?

Well...

Air

Yeah, not really meaningful, but for the last few weeks I've been posting up really deep and meaningful riddles, I thought I would give you a break...So yeah, that's the real reason for this riddle. But then again, it is true...without air, you can't live, and with it, we can stand tall, it has an invigorating effect. I don't know how but it does!

Ok, here's this week's riddle:

It is a part of us,

That we cannot see,

Without it's presence,

We cannot be.

To have and lost,

Is not to not have at all,

It makes us blind,

But with it we stand tall.

So who am I,

I cannot say,

But you can show me,

Some other way...

Yeah, the last part, was a bit of a hooha...but I couldn't think of anything else, but the others are really what the riddle is about.! 

Again answers can be posted as a comment so please...COMMENT!!!! 

That is all!The picture this time, is mine, but it was made in a time when I didn't know what to do with myself, so I decided to make up these sorts of pictures. There is no link on it, because it is fully mine! Yeah it was one of my earlier attempts at using Photoshop. ^^

Riddle 8 - Things Happen

So...The riddle for last week!!

We accept it from birth,

We live it until the world hits us,

When we oppose it,

Others say we are blind,

We close ourselves off to its ideas,

We judge those who are,

We cannot accept what it is,

Even though it has been for ages.

What did you think?

The answer is...

Religion

Ok so the reason behind was probably obvious, the appointing of a new Pope in the Catholic Church. Yes I'm Catholic. Actually there are many reasons associated with this riddle, it's not just the new Pope, Les Miserables, had a hand in this too...I don't know why really, but I just know that those who do have faith it's not just because of our own personality, but it's also in the way we were brought up...I don't know I think that if I didn't grow up the way I did now, I'm not sure if I would have had faith in God. But I'm glad I do, because right now, I don't think I can live without God in my life, anymore. I try a lot to see, but I just can't, because when I do, I end up feeling empty inside. Well anyway, enough with all this mushy stuff...Back down to business...

Here's this week's riddle:

You cannot see it,

Yet it's there,

But you know that

It's everywhere,

A life without it,

Is no life at all,

A life with it,

Can stand up tall,

We know it is

What we need,

We take it for granted,

Even in our sleep.

Yeah, I just wanted to make one that rhymed, it's been a while, so here you go!

A Surprising Readilation?...

Ok, so this is not exactly a rant, but a very surprised...speech? First of all let's start with Monday...On Monday I receive a text from both my parents saying that I will be needed on Sunday to read for Palm Sunday, which is the beginning of Holy Week, in the Catholic/Christian calendar, of course oblivious to what I was reading I immediately said yes. At this point in time, I just felt privileged to read on Holy Week, The last time I read at Easter was at the Easter Vigil, on the Saturday before Easter Sunday, so I'm happy that I at least could do something that was as important, since we wouldn't be at church for Easter Sunday...it's a coincidence but my dad's birthday is on Easter Sunday, and we will be celebrating in a restaurant called Cosmo...somewhere in Croydon...Anyway...so yeah, I was happy to read, thinking I would be used for either the first reading, the psalm or the second reading...Oh but it doesn't end there...

You see, today on Wednesday 20th March 2013, my dad picked up the readings that I'm supposed to do on Sunday, and I was given a heads up by my mother this morning...Oh it gets better...

So I'm at school, with little concern about the readings, doing my everyday thing, learning, talking to friends, worrying about school, then I get home. I'm on the bus listening to Les Miserables, and loving it...

I come into the house...set down my bags, say hi to my dad, and get ready to do another bout of homework...then I see the post, and the readings I will do on Sunday. Now at this point it didn't strike me that the readings were photocopied, I had half expected it. So yeah, I didn't take any notice of it...until I got closer...

The readings weren't readings...actually when I picked it up, I felt many pages in what I now call my SCRIPT...because it isn't the first or second readings, or even the psalms that I got...nope, IT'S THE GOSPEL! O0O...Imagine my surprise when I see that it is, granted I don't have to say the priests lines that introduce that it is, you know..."The Lord be with you" and all that...And it's not even the best part...Here I would like to point out that my parish has a very modern way in reading the gospel...I'm not sure if every parish does this but mine certainly does. They include the readers to take part in the gospel, as extra characters, so the priest takes the role of Jesus, while everyone else does everyone else...So when I picked up the SCRIPT, I immediately think, "Oh, I'm going to be one of the other characters"...oh no...that's not what I get...

Like every good story there has to be description, in the form of narration...yep you guessed it...I AM THE NARRATOR!!!!!!! And Oh Lord help me...Trust me to get the biggest part, other than Jesus himself...What has happened to me!!! You know what, ever since my Confirmation I've been slowly climbing the ranks of the readers, I've read at Christmas (Midnight Mass) a few times, I've done Easter once, I've done the Sunday dedicated to the Holy Spirit, I've done soooo many Liturgical events, that it's not funny anymore!!! Now I have this...I know I will mess up at least once, during this special day! Over the past I have had at least one mistake whilst I read at mass! HOW AM I GOING TO DO THIS!!!!

So yeah, that's the story so far...If I make it out alive on Sunday, I'll tell you all the good news...If not...well...I guess you'll all have to put up with me saying bad things about myself, and whatnots...I doubt it, but still, please guys, pray for me. It's essential I have a lot of support so I don't make a fool of myself.

As always, God bless, and please post any comment you have, or any questions you have. Otherwise post up your answers to the riddle, that I have set. Like I said before, I post one up every week. ^^

Riddle 7 - This is getting ridiculous

OK, so I'm late in the next one, I've been busy anyway, you know the drill! ^^

A world set apart,

Seen and is real,

But is never believed,

Those who lived in it,

Cannot describe it,

Nor do they want to,

We only dream of what it's like,

But we will never know,

If we don't live it.

Did you get it?

The answer is:

War

Again I was inspired by Les Mis for this one. How many of us can say that we've been in a war, physically, not emotionally or mentally. I mean like really been in one. I know there are many people who can say they have, and they can say a list of facts about how it was and how they felt, but we will never actually know what it's like to be in a war. Can you really imagine it: your friends and family dying right before your eyes? Can you say that you'd go to their aid instead of saving yourself? Can you even say that if you saw a gun aimed at your friend, would you really run to their aid? Would you sacrifice yourself, in an environment like that? You will never know unless you've lived it. Those who lived it say it's hell on earth, and we say we understand. But do we really understand?

Ok so enough philosophizing, down to business...

We accept it from birth,

We live it until the world hits us,

When we oppose it,

Others say we are blind,

We close ourselves off to its ideas,

We judge those who are,

We cannot accept what it is,

Even though it has been for ages.

What do you think?

Riddle 6 - Oops O_O

So you know the routine now,

Here's the riddle for last week:

It is a salvation, and a damnation,

It is what we fear, but not cannot avoid.

It is a darkness and a light,

But it will never go away.

It creates grief and life,

We cannot escape it, 

Yet we can choose how to face it,

Some face it with heads held high,

Some don't want to at all.

So any guesses?

No?

~Well~

The answer is:

Death

Why? Well I watched Les Miserable, two/three weeks ago, and the overhanging theme was death. I won't spoil it if you haven't seen the movie or play, or even read the book. But I would SERIOUSLY RECOMMEND IT!! Anyway I thought about death, and was reminded not only in movies but in real life death is always present, but we try not to look at it, and say that we would only look at it later, but that never comes. So, why? Because there are always controversial arguments going on about it, but it is simply something that happens to everyone, at the end of our lives. It's the way you look at it, when you do. Why become afraid of it? Why run away from it? Just face it head on and welcome it like an old friend.

OK this week's one (I'll wait for Monday 18th March to post the answer of the riddle.):

A world set apart,

Seen and is real,

But is never believed,

Those who lived in it,

Cannot describe it,

Nor do they want to,

We only dream of what it's like,

But we will never know,

If we don't live it.

What do you think?
