ごめんなさい Gomen'nasai

I pronounce it (probably wrong) Gomen asai

It means Sorry in Japanese. And I am really sorry. Sorry for not posting here even if no one gets on, but still that doesn't seem like enough. And honestly I would love to be this super creative amazing person (like that perfect person in the class) but I'm not, and now I'm ramblings. So.....

------------------------------

So I've always thought we can love animals that are domesticated, and appreciate animals that are wild. And for us to truly appreciate nature it has to be wild. It can't be like our house cats, subdued, and ready to bow to our whim. Then they seem like glorified, and elegant circus performers. In documentaries that allow us to catch a glimpse of these creatures stay away from tampering with their lives much. In our images we rarely have a caged wolf as something beautiful, and yet it's a fact of life that we capture them, but still the raw beauty of seeing something we deem 'free' seems to thrill us all the more.

I'm going to do something, I'm going to show a bunch of images and just share my thoughts about them. That being said my thoughts have a tendency to be boring, so just look at the pictures and don't read my thoughts if you don't want to, because I'll try to make the images interesting. Ready?

------------------------------

 

How did the mother let the camera so close to her cubs? Well the image is amazing nonetheless. Still it is slightly saddening when a wild creature is so comfortable with humanity it's precious litter is on display to the world. However that's probably not the case here so I feel better, and I compliment the photographer. An amazing shot. I feel as if each has their own distinct personality.

------------------------



I feel like saying this from spirit stallion of the cimarron 'not as well known as the eagle, but distinguished from the hawk. An osprey. Eh who cares?' Well this is an amazing photo, and the quality is amazing. The bird isn't even looking at the camera, it's just....it's just there, and you're just here staring at it.

--------------------



I was talking with a girl who said she loved sea creatures, and I asked her about otters. And she said she didn't really like them. But this was the animal that I read a little book about, how the mother tied the baby to the kelp to make sure it didn't float away, that the otters played with each other, that scene in Pocahontas, how the mother licks the baby clean, and how precarious life in cold water can be for a new born. How this otter here looks so much like a human mother shielding her child from the water, and the baby (pup I think?) is so cute, but also the otter is looking at the camera almost saying "I see you, this is my baby" And well....what's not to love?

--------------------

 
It's always so hard for us to root for the prey. To say; that's my favorite animal, the one who is the primary consumer on the food chain and gets eaten. The one on the documentary whose calf or fawn gets chased down by the predatory, and it stumbles, and you watch the predatory make a killing bite. So maybe it's cowardice that I say the wolf is my favorite animal, and not these majestic beasts. They're gorgeous, but alas, the wolf is my favorite.

---------------------


Be a wolf, and you will have beauty. But if you are yourself people will see it.

Humans

 

We're all humans. This post was actually sparked by a fanfiction. This contained something called a dogboy;

 

This magnificent young lady with an absolutely stellar tail (agree with me if you want to live) is called Holo or Horo the wise wolf. She is an anime character if you haven't noticed. I can recommend the first season, but have not myself watched the 2nd season. Obviously this would be a wolf girl, but I hope you get the picture.

She also has very...wolfish tendencies. 

During the anime I never saw her as anything but a wolf on the same level as humans probably even greater (no offense, but she has lived for awhile). And the sharpness of the human mind mixed with the instincts and smarts of an animal; well lets just say I don't want her as an enemy.

And yet in this fanfiction the dogboys were seen as pets by the government. This was rather disturbing to me.

So I guess this post will be about.....GASP!!!!!!


HUMANITY

  
"I'm not human and I don't want to be, they're creatures who slaughter without will, sell each other, and kill wolves without good reason" 

Bear with me I am not trying to offend the wolf.


  

I'm simply saying that for as much as we try to identify the traits in animals that we admire (and there are numerous) and attach them to ourselves I would like to say that humans do have good traits.

"Really you think that?"

Well yes I do.

I mean I think to some degree all creatures have kindness and forgiveness, but well... ooh I'm trying real hard for our species here guys (well if you're not human I'm not judging, but you should get the point)

 
"Told you"

NOOOOOO Don't condemn humans to death.

I think the only thing we have are original words. And the word called humanity. I mean we do embody a large range of personalities like other animals, and a lot of traits of animals are personified in humans.

"Are you suggesting?"

YES! Of course the wolf gets it. That animals have limited power being down to earth like they are, and humans with flamboyance are able to display their traits given to them by animals to the world. And so that is humanity, but it comes from a deeper root; an animal root. 

There's a quote that I had a long time ago, and as much as I dislike looking back on my past ones...well it fits this perfectly. I honestly didn't meant to use it but....

 
Love doesn't make us more human; it makes us more real

Well hopefully I summarized humanity, love, kindness, and our roots (subjects that I'm sure some actual professional philosopher has dedicated decades to thinking about and pondering much deeper than I have, and from much more credible sources) in a short enough amount of time!

 
"So remember, even if you do not agree"

What isn't anything

 http://dawnthieves.de/Member/Kati/Pictures/Wolf/Edersee/2012/Summer/Wolf_Eder1208-Kamaal-17.jpg
So this was probably going to be something, but even the quote to this image is a null and moot point right now, seeing as I can't remember it. So now this post is just going to be about the post I never made. No I don't mean I remember it (that would be a miracle) I'm saying this post is going to be a rant about how I didn't post. And if you aren't interested then (sadness, you're cruel, and yes I'm acting weird today) too bad for me I guess this is where your adventure ends.

A long time ago, so long I can't remember it (like yesterday long time ago, like 14 hours long time ago) I started a post.

And then I added this little table posty box thingy, and then I added the picture, obsessively looking through dawnthieves. Yes I do that, it is a thing.

Finally I added it here, and then the class period ended. I haven't looked at it since. *sighs, memories sweet memories.*

Ha ha, well this post actually does have a point so you can start reading again.  

I have been invited to author on Ngoing, which I believe is private, however that may take up the little time I spend doing this. Well anyway, of course I'm not going to let this be a forgotten post, so what should I say that could possibly be memorable?

  

Well a picture's worth a thousand words. Good luck with therapy! :D

So many holidays

April fools and then Easter, and if you count good friday. That's like, that's like, that's like three holidays within the time span of one week. AMAZING. Anyway, I'm not using a posty table for this as the images get weird, and I still am wanting to find a good one. Anyway, well I might give into temptation and use one that I've been working on, I can change the images as much as I want, and it still works. It's not as 'pretty' as some, and it doesn't have words, but I find it easier to write with and and inspiring. I love looking at wolves when I write. It just seems to give me; hmm not inspiration, not words searching searching. Anyway there's a quote for it

I want to say what I want to say
Think What I want to think
And feel joy because I feel pleasure
http://dawnthieves.de/Member/Sas/Pictures/Wolf/Euro/2012/OlderdissenKiraSmile.jpg

This photographer is really good by the way. Sas R. from dawnthieves. There are tons of other pictures and maybe a little over half a dozen other amazing photographers. Anyway;

I'm not here to talk about religion, because I believe whatever I do, and you can believe whatever you want to. I'm going to put a short 'religious' talk in here, and it's going to be with a black background, so you can skip it if you don't like that sort of thing.



I consider people who have no religion, or do not believe in the conventional god/gods/higher powers that be to believe in things. Because those people simply believe that there are none, or whatever they want to. And I say they simply for the sake of not taking sides. Anyway that's my little explanation sorry if
this offends.

So Easter! The day of religion, but for all other purposes the day of rotten eggs! Just kidding. But sometimes it is fun to get a little creative with eggs. painting them is fun, and there are ones that are made of plastic with confedi in them that you crack over your head.



And then there are the pieces of art that are gorgeous. I think that sometimes people think too little of these eggs.  I mean while they are 'just decorations' sometimes they actually do have meaning. And often times enough they have meaningful patterns on them.

http://dawnthieves.de/Member/Ben/Pictures/Wolf/Hanno/2014/Alle/HannAll2014_10.jpg

Maybe as much meaning for those as this picture is amazing to me. It just fits perfectly with the 'brothers/sisters/siblings' idea. these wolves just standing there together.

Anyway so regardless on whether it's plastic eggs that you have fun hunting down with your family or wolves (which I will be mad at you if you hunt) then enjoy the day.

Enjoy everyday;

Because even regal felines agree that napping relaxing and having fun are important.

Discontinued

This blog will be discontinued, and the author removed within a week due to various complaints. ~Blogger Staff
Nah, just kidding, that wasn't a very good one. I'm not much for April fools pranks, and never have been much of a pranker. I find it hard to find a prank that will not hurt others, while also being amusing for myself. Take from that what you will.

Today is going to be a normal day on this blog, and I don't think I'll take too much time away to discuss April fools pranks. Because that would just be me posting repetitions of what you can find on better websites. And honestly how much fun is that?


This creature can be found in various petting zoos and is reffered to simply as the unicorn alpaca. I don't feel like providing the scientific name. However that is not the point of this post.

The point is that when a unicorn alpaca breeds with an anaconda

 

The result is a fluffy snake with a horn on it's head. However I was unable to find a picture of this mythical creature. I will however give you the name.

This creature is mostly reptilian, but the interesting thing is that they must be direct offspring and cannot themselves breed. The special horn chromosome is suppose to transfer into the snake, and merge the two different types of animals.

This amazing creature is found mainly in chinese and rainforest lore. However has transferred over to the USA

It's name is April fools

Ex:

Okay so I feel like this won't fit for some reason and then I click preview and it fits almost perfectly! this makes me reasonably happy, except the lack of width on the actual post does not, and couple that with the fact that if I press ENTER it doesn't necessarily start a new line and it means that there's probably going to be more changes and such. Still I'm liking this, and probably will stick with it for maybe a post more before I throw my hands up in frustration and then make an entirely new one. 

Now anyway I'm going to try and find a topic for this blog post (and if you haven't noticed I found a way to get the text to ENTER, you have to use compose, or else show a specific code I don't want to type every time I want to start a new paragraph. Hope you understand). So instead of looking it up I'm tempted to write, however I've been reading some amazing writing and I feel like all of mind will uhmm (searches for a good way to say this) be like; you're starving and in the desert, and haven't eaten in three days, and you're craving food, now my writing would be like giving that person a piece of gum, and their writing would be like inviting them into your air conditioned mansion and treating them to all of their desires.

So are you seeing the difference and the problem I have with my writing. I'll only give you a few sentences so you don't have to suffer as I'm trying not to make this a site where I force people to read nonsense stories.

I felt open, completely open, a way that spread out my heart and wings. I felt my wings stretch out far as it caught wind, but what was more exhilarating was the way my heart pounded, and my entire mind floated out onto the skies. I hated these moment, I hated the way the angst I had to feel at returning. I hated these moments, but still my heart protested it. As it bound against the way my mind reminded it; freedom. And then it added; impossible.

Anyway I honestly do believe that freedom is impossible. For one we're humans, and the way the world is set up you can't really be free. I mean you could be a homeless person and have no schedule or anything; but in the end we are alive and to continue we are bound by the necessity of having to eat and drink and well there is a list, but I'm too lazy to look it up.

So sometimes this is why I feel so constrained and I spend weeks writing nothing, or spend days procrastinating on homework or something.

Standard Posty Table

So I realize that I've been switching up a lot as far as my post tables go, and that is the tiniest bit annoying. That is because well I don't want to have to make a new one every single time, even if the variety is nice. So I was thinking; what about a standard posty table?! Now there's an amazing idea, except (of course yah know), but they change with the topic. And that's a good thing. So I was thinking, how about I share a picture with a quote to you (which takes less effort because I can use picasa instead of gimp, anther blog post I may explain other stuff), and then have one standard posty table. However now I come to the dilemma, what do I want?

I don't like sharing personal stuff about myself, and yet I want something that signifies me. So what do we want, what do I want, and what is going to happen. Well I don't want to bore you just share some thoughts. So without further ado, I will



Tell you all the things that I think are wrong with this quote ;) Well there are some good things, some nuggets of truth and inspiration you should take from this. I don't think that it all needs to be blacked out, but sometimes I do this, like to contradict quotes. Because someone telling me exactly what I want to do with my life, and how I want to live; I just find it a bit annoying.

Still list:

1) there's an ocean of sorrow, forget rain
2) be strong, or have hope?
3) stormy doesn't mean it's raining, it can also be a giant cloud of doom
4) just because there haven't been documented cases of it raining forever
5) the rainforest!
6) it isn't the storm or the rain that weakens us

March 22, 2015

Morals hmmm

Soooooooooo througout life have morals not been stressed to you?
Right not Wrong
Up not Down
Life not Death
Good not Evil
White not Black
Mercy not Merciless
Love not Hate
And yet we still break them.
And of course there are exceptions. Because so and so deserved this....And this and that....And ; Well you know....
So for as many morals (which in themselves are debatable beings) we have those who will forever break them and as many excuses for those who in the end still want to 'atone'. But is not that something for the individual themselves to decide. And as for being cliche well I'm about to go to an entirely other level.
The ultimate excuse; the ultimate moral; the most cliche phrase usable
"Be true to who you are"
Oh my word, did I just say it? Okay well yes I did. And to some level it is the truth. That is the excuse, because we are all (hopefully here, or please werewolf reveal yourself) humans here. So we are all theoretically capable of making our own judgement calls as to what the situation might require. Will it break your kindergarden rules if you're thinking about it, probably.
But hey here's my perspective on it (and if you're innocent you won't get this)
Life isn't make by keeping your hands to yourself.
Now that doesn't mean to go invade other people's privacy, and I'm not saying to throw your morals out the window, but think of them as stories. You can take what you want out of them, and then you will suffer the consequences.

Whaaaaaaaaaat?!?!?!?!?!

Check this out!  Okay so that should take you to the website with this url: https://support.google.com/blogger/answer/6177281?p=policy_update&rd=1

Anyway, when I saw this I was immediately thinking "Why is this on my blogger screen?" I wanted to check to make sure that I didn't have anything that would be flagged on my blog until I thought; why would I? Of course I wouldn't. But that aside I was wondering what exactly could be considered something that would violate people viewing the web so much?

I mean people are so easily offended. But is this so much a question of being offended or what most people see as basic things as being human? Because if it's about offensive topics;



Seeing anything like this would seriously offend me if it were actually being used as something that I was encouraged to do. I would probably stop looking at that person's blog, and there are all sorts of graphic and disturbing images of wolves being hunted. Still that doesn't fit in with the human aspect of this. Of say showing... other stuff.

And in line with that would



Say showing this picture from an anime deeply disturb some people? (btw I loved this anime, and he's a breastroker, so yeah.) I personally don't find this offensive, but I can see where a lot of people might dislike it and see it as inappropriate. I mean don't we think badly of the guys who decide to run without shirts on in really hot weather? Get a shirt on, it's in public!

And the truth of the matter is that our blogs are public. There are private settings, but the internet is a public space. And there are a lot of limitations and things that are being debated right now.

  

I can see where if someone dressed like this in real life it would be seen as inappropriate; but is the fact that it's anime make it any less so? And don't people have a right to create characters like this that consequently show a little bit of skin?

Anyway, I hope I haven't weirded anyone out too much or turned you off from this blog. I try to keep my stuff 'clean'. But I'm not going to apologize too profusely if I do want to show a few images that may be seen as controversial.

 

But in case you don't like it then I'm not going to force my opinion on you. I'll admit that life would be a lot simpler and probably somewhat better if we were all happy chilling and relaxing and enjoying life, and not worrying about making pointless (or not so much depending) stands, and insulting each other and ourselves and doing things that are extremely morally questionable to the majority of the population whether for personal reasons or personal gains. And just hanging out like this

http://dawnthieves.de/Member/Jessi/Pictures/Wolf/Luene/2014/Jan2014/Luen-1401-Sum-06.jpg

Wow, it's kind of hard not to be scared to post something like this.....


March 18, 2015

Argh America

So this picture was probably taken in Europe. This is from a site called dawnthieves. And if you love wolves then check them out. Ehhh here's the link dawthieves link All the people here are amazing! They share their pictures for free and I don't think there's any guaranteed compensation, and as long as you're not making money off of it then you can basically go to town with their stuff. Ahh, it's people like that that make my life of stealing pictures of wolves from the web to add these words to and mess with and draw from and admire so much more fullfilling. It is not an obsession. Anyway getting sidetracked.

Most of these pictures are taken in Europe, and while I understand that America does have some redeeming qualities; uhmm by today's standards anyone want to point them out to ignorant me? No seriously, we are a melting pot, a conglomeration, and yet we've done some things we're not to proud of. Most countries have. And yet while we try overly hard to make up for it the problems now seem more severe than they did back when we were killing each other.

Anyway, there are wolf conservation centers here in the U.S.A. so I haven't completely condemned my country yet! Still in this site I'm just not seeing a lot of wolves that are found in the U.S.' national parks and conservation centers, and education programs. Maybe I haven't been looking hard enough, still it seems like America is still on the fence about wolves.

It's hard for me to understand anyone who truly believes that wolves are anything but wild, beautiful, amazing, and cute (well don't tell them I said that!) creatures. I don't see much of the risk I suppose typing here, but still even just looking at the facts they are not really in the favor of either side. Wolves are predators, they do kill livestock. But wolves are not regular man hunters, the most that could be said for that is that they are scavengers.

Anyway, two thoughts to leave you with today, and sorry it's so scattered seeing as I'm doing this later at night.

1. Why does America not have as much representation as far as wolves go. We seem to be between knowing that we can exterminate them all and wanting to quiet up the people telling us to, and being 'eco friends' and holding paws with them behind fences.

2. What is your opinion on large predators? They might be endangered but they still pose risks, and yet there is a certain beauty in them when you see that shot someone took weeks to find, and many still think; what magnificent creatures.

Not the Best Hobby

So I have this entirely unhealthy hobby of creating little tables like this; only much much better. This is something I did quick and it took about ten minutes. Later I might give a little tutorial on how to make something like this, as well as how to do the pictures (this is from Dawnthieves by the way) and the people providing it are AMAZING! I recently found it and am shamelessly in love with the place. Check it out, it's wolves and big cats, and even have some lynxes and foxes on that place. Anyway, I'll do this for other people, and I'll do it for myself. Whenever I have the inspiration and the site allows it I'll try to use some html code here and there. I wish that I posted here more often and definitely will try to! No promises. On a different note don't you think this black wolf is amazing. It is one wolf from the wolf science center. I would desperately like to go to europe, specifically germany and other places with wolf centers open to people who like to take pictures. But I'll have to settle for somewhere in the US. Still it is a dream of mine to finally meet a real wolf, and if I could actually meet it; I think that'd be amazing. I know I'm getting my hopes up, because part of the reason I love wolves is that they are free spirits. Ever adapting and changing and yet never bending to man's will. I think they're rather amazing creatures, but it's fairly unrealistic to actually be able to meet a wolf! Ah well I'll continue to dream. I like this html thing, and blogger really is great for letting people code a post and if you're advanced enough (not me) code their own sites. It's a lot of fun, and it allows me to do a variety of things, and feel like I have complete freedom. It's a hobby, and nothing more, it's not like blogging here or writing or school. But still it is fun to enjoy it. And if you ever feel like it check out some html coding, there are some amazing people much more skillful than me who would be happy to share their skills. Right now I'll leave you with a small piece of code for you to play around with!

Mythical Creature Sprite


So I usually think of sprites as little glowing lights ore as tiny tiny fairies that you hear about in books and movies. It's a little different from story to story, ranging from souls to helpers, to little miscreants. But if you honestly can't picture any of these things then my best analogy would be Tinker Bell.
 
She's actually a pretty good depiction of a sprite. You know minus the uhmmm, Disney Creative lisence.
 
This is how I mostly think of sprites. But find out for yourself. (I hear they can be found around fairy hollow) Sorry! I love disney but yeah there are some problems.

February 20, 2015

Uhmmm



So I know that I haven't posted here in awhile, but I have not forgotten! Anyway, I had this brilliant idea that is really cliche so bear with me. Disney character's genders were flipped. So lets take the tale of Mulan (the second movie). I really like this idea, because it would be more realistic. The girls would try to be subtle thinking that they love the boys, but restraining themselves; and then the boys would be talking about the girls and all but fawning over them except the eldest brother. Oh right, and this would only be between the six that fall in love in this movie. Not everyone caus yeah. Hmm so just a flash of what this might look like:

The boys stayed inside the carriage, slightly embarrassed at being defended by girls, but still glad that they were able to see and hear. They enjoyed the country side and looked out the window where all of their guards were. One of them suddenly spoke in a hushed voice "What do you think of them?"

The eldest rolled his eyes knowing what his younger brother was hinting at. The youngest of course, always causing trouble and said "It does not matter."

The second youngest answered though what they were all thinking "Why, fancy them?"

------------------

Oh well I'm not good at this; use your own imagination! but I like the movie just the way it is.

People and stupidity

The words seem to go well together don't you think? I mean like people are dumb; like all the time; it's like so annoying; like saying filler words like like, like all the time.



And by the way if you ever want to see some disturbing images look up "People doing stupid stuff" or "People looking funny" or anything basically of the like. It took forever to get a clean image. Yes I consider this a clean image.

If you don't consider this a 'clean' image then you should
a) tell your parents your on a stranger's blog
b) not be on here
c) go back to pre-k
d) don't bother me about it.

Okay? Sorry I just find it annoying if people say I'm being 'inappropriate' when I'm not.

Okay moving on to stupid people

  Eating moldy, deteriorating, or otherwise inedible without serious repercussions food. Just why. And people find this amusing?! Okay well the face is cute, but I don't think this is real bread. I just thought I'd try to tell stupid people out there (including myself, I ate bread that had been sitting in the fridge for a month and didn't smell right) a gentle lesson so that they don't have to look at vomit later!


Trying to lift weights that are too heavy! start out small and don't kill youself on that first work out. You need to work your way up to those five hundred pound lifts. You can also seriously hurt and strain your muscles. A basic understanding of anatomy and the body's systems may be helpful.


People trying to fly. 1) It won't work. 2) you aren't a bird. 3) you aren't doing a courtship dance! Seriously you should know this will not work. People were not meant to fly without some assistance.



This applies to any real human being! Falling in love with someone. It's awkward, hard, but in the end if it works out for you (GREAT) then worth it.....

Mythical Creature Zorua



This is a tricky fox pokemon. It can transform into its opponent and at times will even transform into a human. It loves to joke with people, and it is very intelligent.Its evault form is zoraurk, but honestly who would want this pokemon to evolve? Nothing against Zoroark however seeing as they are amazing pokemon.

I do have a particular liking for this pokemon and I think most of us went through a phase where pokemon are the most amazing thing on earth. So for this Dark type pokemon post its lights out.

January 27, 2015

Mythical Creature

So just because I've had a stroke of inspiration from an rpg I'm doing and I really like them I will probably be doing several posts, each on a mythical creature. These aren't in any particular order, but I'm just going to share on with you. For Now.

Sphinx

It is a creature  of legend
  Anyway a woman's head, lion's body, eagle wings. It can be portrayed positively or negatively. I find it very interesting. Though when I first read about it I was also in a pokemon phase and unfortunately always pictured it as a suicune with a woman's face.

     So you are seeing the problem?

Anyway, that's my mythical creature!

January 23, 2015

Wolf Pups

So there are these amazingly cute creatures called wolf pups. Now there are also fox kits, and bear cubs, and kittens, and puppies, and hundreds of other cute animals. Though as far as cute animals, my love of wolves has compelled me to say here are some amazingly cute little wolf pups!

  

Now I bet you feel better knowing that ordinarily humans bear birth to one. There are six wolf pups in this picture. Wolves share the responsibility of raising young within a pack, but generally a care taker is present. Still six is a handful!



Wolf pups have blue eyes that fade along with their puppy coat. Grey wolves all have a grey undercoat while their outer coat determines their color. A pup's blue eyes will mature also. But they sure do look cute with those blue eyes!

  

While these pups are by no means grown up they are a lot bigger. Still they're really cute. You can see now their coat colors maturing, and you can also see that they are losing some of their more puppy features.

 

Aww, here we have a baby stage. The puppies are obviously not extremely young, but they are definitely still very young.

 

This wolfie is starting to look more like an adolecent. Wolves don't fully mature though until two years (sexual maturity).

 
And then of course anime wolf pups can be extremely adorable or some of them seem to have a darker side. (Thank you to whoever artist I stole this from).



but of course; we're all pups at heart!

Annoyingly Good Writing

Yes, it exists. There are people whose books I have read and actually thought
HOW Are These People That Good. Now I'm not jealous (okay, okay, I am) but I do want to know what gives these people the right to be this good. To literally have perfectly believable character development, ease you into the plot, and turn even the most cliche and anti-normal thing into something you can relate to and feel yourself? I literally am stumped and even tried to write a little more, but it just didn't work.

Anyway, there is a name for a flowery style of writing called purple prose.


Now they say a picture is worth a thousand words, but the thing is when you actually write one thousand words per picture and about 2000 meaningless words in between filled with something that is difficult to get the brain around then it's just meaningless.

Anyway there is really good writing which is a balance of a good plot, talented author, and just right amounts of description. Mixed of course with controversy and character development.

that is good writing and I'm still not really good at it.

To give you an example of me trying to write purple prose.

The thoughts swirled like murky water sinking into a drain into the dredges of what was. Everything around blinded by what - and I say this sarcastically -  was not seen. Everything was blurred as thoughts became sharper and then the process went against itself so nothing was ever clear and nothing was ever mud and everything was in between.

Whew I can't write like that, but you can see it's hard to even understand what is happening or anything, now imagine if you can twenty paragraphs written like that! Anyway it was about a girl who was sitting on a bus staring out a window bored.
