DEEP THOUGHT 13


What's up. This is Lord Avanton, the King of Narnia and I'm talking about endings. This is the first of a two part series. Yes, it's that time of year, leaving school. This time is different however, I won't be coming back next year. I won't be able to see the smiling faces of the Narnians as we crack jokes. I won't be with my beloved Queen...my sisters...I'll even miss the Ice Queen and her annoying way of knowing just how to piss me off every single solitary day of the year. I'll be an alumnus, no longer a student who sits at the desk and learns from our amazing teachers. I've finished my graduation address and I'm slowly realizing a MONTH AFTER SCHOOL HAS ENDED, that it's over. I'm finishing Loyola Summer School next week and then I have a short amount of time before football begins.

It's incredible how many people I'm leaving behind. For one, not one of my classmates is going to Loyola. The only person I'll see on a slightly more regular basis is Lily, she's going to Marymount and we're gonna see each other at dances and shit like,
"WHATS GOOD?!?!?!??!?!"
"NOT MUCH BRO! I'M CHILLING!!"
"THIS MUSIC IS AWESOME!!!"
And stuff like that. It'll kinda be awk, but she's pretty cool so I'm sure we'll get right back into the swing of things. I have so many things I want to say to people, but I can't say it to them. I'm lucky to have the contact sheet from the end of the year party. I've officially given my son, Prince Jackson my throne and am forging a new Kingdom in Loyola. Castle Avanton is nearly complete and my conquest is beginning. I just hope I don't lose my hold on them. They seem to love me, even the Football coaches love me. My last name is their favorite word in the whole world now. I mean, it's not all bad, but it's still sad. My chest aches every time I think of the Narnians. We had our finest year, expanding from 7 to over maybe 20. I fought and won a Civil War, keeping the kingdom intact, and I secretly founded another land, Archenland. My Granddaughter will inherit this land upon her birthday along with her husband Prince Kevin. I've been wanting this match for a long time and it's finally happened. I haven't spoken to her in a while, but the Queen assures me she's fine. Forgive me if I'm rambling, but it's a hard thing to do, to leave one's friends behind and head out alone into a new land. I have to end it or it'll go on forever, all right. Give me FEEDBACK! RATE!

DEEP THOUGHT 12

What's up? It's Lord Avanton talking about trust. It's a hard thing to earn and even harder to regain once broken. I find that it's easy to break trust and that's the terrible thing about it. You never know how to react in certain situations because one or more people's trust could be broken. I'm in a situation right now where I'm friends with two people who pretty much HATE each other. One of them is an ex and another is like a little sister to me. They can't seem to get along no matter how I try. They just REALLY DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER. It's surprising how much hate can be stuck inside their 13-14 year old bodies. I was kinda scared when they first started talking about each other. Their eyes grew dark and their countenance totally changed. I can''t seem to find a way to bring them together. I've thought for weeks but if they're even NEAR each other, the air is sucked out of the room. It's like watching a two feral cats stalk each other. If I died and it brought them together, then it would be a good death. And if they were both about to die and I had to choose one of them. I would honestly try to save both and kill myself succeeding. Then maybe they would give up the fight. I mean GOD it's ENOUGH ALREADY! Get OVER each other!! They're both working on the Musical for my class Beauty and the Beast and it's gonna be hell. I'm just hoping that my headhunter classmates, WHICH IS NOT ALL OF THEM, won't pick up on this and make it worse. They are two of my closest friends and watching them fight tears me apart. Alright I'm done. Peace out.

DEEP THOUGHT 11.2

What's up? It's Lord Avanton. More on Cryonics! I've done a little more on the term paper, documenting how Cryonics got started and it's really interesting. It started with this guy called Robert Ettinger. The idea of cryonics started in his head when he read "The Jameson Satellite". In the story a guy named Professor Jameson who was dying of brain cancer launched himself into space. This was based on the mistaken belief that space was totally safe and wouldn't turn you inside out the second you got out of atmosphere. These were ignorant people ladies and gentlemen. Anyway, in the story, Jameson's body was preserved until a race of mechanical men rescued his body, saved his brain and installed it in one of their mechanical bodies. He lived as one of them for the rest of his days. This being said, I wonder though if there's a way to preserve bodies in a similar fashion instead of wasting all of this money on cryonics chambers and stuff like that. It's interesting though, because the brain thing works pretty well. Scientists have done it to hamsters with total brain recovery. A scientist did it to a rabbit but the rabbit showed signs of mental retardation. This experiment was totally inconsistent with nearly everything else anyone had ever achieved, making some believe that the experiment was a set up from the start. Whatever it was, it's one out of like, a million so hey, WHO THE HELL CARES?!?!? Oh, right, those anti-cryonics folks. It's just one more argument for their seemingly inexhaustible arsenal. Now I'm not taking sides, I've just seen that the con's outweigh the pros and you have to REALLY believe in this shit to have the balls to do it. That means that over 200 people have more balls than I do and you know what? Good for them! I'm just not that kind of person, maybe I will be later, who knows? Alright, I'm done here. Rate, comment, "and all that jazz". LOL Mr. Brady reference. All right, PEACE!!

DEEP THOUGHT #11.1

What's up everybody this is Lord Avanton. I'm getting back into the flow of blogging so I'll be publishing stuff pretty quickly. This DEEP THOUGHT will be on Cryonics! It's basically when a being is vitrified, chemically frozen, and then they are preserved for an undisclosed period of time. This normally happens when someone is dying of a disease that cannot be cured and they want to wait until a cure can be made in the future. So BOOM! In the freezer you go. This was developed by Robert Ettinger in the 1950's and he published his theory in 1962 in his book The Prospect of Immortality. Ettinger recently died in August 2012 from respiratory failure and his 92 year old body was vitrified and preserved in the same institute that he helped to create. He was 106th patient. Right, now it's time to go really deep for a little background, this is a excerpt from a paper I'm writing on this subject, "Death is the only thing in life that is certain. We all know that we will perish one day. We are afraid of death. We are afraid because we don’t know what lies beyond our mortal or earthly bodies. This uncertainty fuels our desire to do as much as possible before we die. Thusly, science fiction novels and games where the protagonist or several hundred members of a crew are “frozen” in a large storage area for their preservation so the mission can be completed catch our eyes and intrigue us. We may not know it, but subconsciously, a little spark in the back of our brains ignites and we begin to say, “Why can’t we cheat death?” The rational part of our brains however, keeps us from voicing the seemingly absurd desires. For no one can cheat death, can they?" Nice intro right? Yeah, don't lie to me. Anyway, here's another part, "The theory of cryonics stems from watching nature prepare organisms for cold temperature for millions of years. Trees have twigs and branches that can survive being frozen through direct exposure to liquid nitrogen after proper natural prepping. They create an “antifreeze” solution that turns the bark to glass when it reaches a certain temperature. Certain vertebrates such as frogs and salamanders have adapted to expose their internal organs to severe freezing temperatures and have recovered fully after thawing. The real heavyweights of cold temperature survival however are the insects that can survive -75 C and the fish that can operate at 1 degree below their freezing point." Cool no? You can be put in a freezer when you die and come back 200 years later or something. Alright this is all the time I have for right now. Comment and give me...FEEDBACK! Part two will be forthcoming! PEACE OUT!

DEEP THOUGHT #10/HOLIDAY RANT

HAPPY FREAKING NEW YEAR!!!!! What's up everyone this is Lord Avanton and I'm gonna be talking about the Holiday Season. Well not talk, rant. OK so the holidays absolutely SUCK! At least when you don't have any money. People fucking guilt trip you and you feel TERRIBLE ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY GOT YOU AWESOME STUFF AND YOU CAN'T EVEN GET THEM A GIFT CARD!!!!! AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!! It's just a waste of time! Do you really have time to go out, buy stuff for people(some whom you don't like) and then go broke? Do you really have to? NO AND NO! It's just the American culture of "Me, me, me, me". And that STUPID tree takes forever to put up and take down. If you want  But I haven't even gotten to Halloween. So you want to go around and ask people who probably hate you for candy?!?!? How STUPID can you get? Like, really people, THINK! The candy could be doped, the apples could have razor blades in them still. The brownies could have marijuana. They still do that sometimes. And then there are the creepy houses that just don't open and you see silhouette's of people staring out at you. It's like "Dude. What the hell? How creepy can you freakin' GET?!?!?!? I'm just trying to get some damn candy!!" OK, so that's all I have for now. Comment and give me...FEEDBACK!!!

DEEP THOUGHT #9

Yo, what up. Lord Avanton here. Sorry I haven't posted in a while, as I've been busy. I'm gonna post about the brain. So my friend Antemortem made a post on her blog about Mind over Matter. I saw an interesting statement where she spoke about our brains' capacity. She was talking about how our brains could unlock more powers at intervals of 10%. I want to expound upon that. Say there's a way to actually unlock the rest of our potential. How do we get our narrow-minded race to look up from their tablets, video games, cell phones, and TV's to go and realize that they have a larger role to play? How do we turn on the 10% that we have so we can unlock the 20% and so on? People always talk about vibes, so what if you could actually feel them? Wouldn't you want to have a "early warning system" so that you could make decisions in a group more easily? You could read the feelings of the group and figure out the best course of action to take. Also, if it were possible that if your brain was more fully unlocked, you could have more powers or abilities like super-human strength or speed, maybe even flight and telekinesis. But our minds are so set inside our virtual reality and we don't want to change. It would take a tremendous display of power to convince the world that such abilities would be good thing. You would have to save hundreds of people from a natural disaster or save a country from a missile strike or something. We are so serious and skeptical that we have shut our minds in a box. I only hope that it can be unlocked before it is too late.
