Smith, the Ascendant

“Oh God!”
“Smith will suffice.”

Tread Softly, Johnny Walker!

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet,
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
This, of course, [...]

The Joker

- This is boring.
- Yes, it is. It’s all boring.
- Except the bat. He is not boring.
- Not all the time though. He gets boring sometimes, with his ethics and stuff.
- But he can be very entertaining too.
- Agreed!
- I’m bored!
- Yeah, we are. I wonder what happens if I shoot that guy.
- Hehehe! We [...]

Tonight was the first time ever that I drank alone. I was, am, in a very bad mood. I sat on my couch and downed a third of bottle of whiskey, and then I cooked for myself too (that’s almost another first.) No matter how hard I try to forget what I did that led [...]

Lighning Through the Skull

I am walking on asphalt, on an endless field of black asphalt, when out of the black black sky, a single bolt of lightning hits me.
My eyes are the first things that explode out of their sockets. My hair catches on fire. My brain evaporates instantly, and the high pressure mixture pours out of my [...]

Self-justifying Choices

Running away is a solution to many things. Giving up, throwing in the towel, passing the buck, unshouldering the burden, admitting your incapability, playing dead…
It’s a perfect solution for mediocrity, isn’t it?
If you thought that was the rant, you’re sourly mistaken. Here it is.
Let’s try a thought experiment. Nothing real, just a wild and fantastical [...]

جای خوب و خلوت

بیشتر مردم دو مادر بزرگ و دو پدربزرگ دارند. پدرِ پدرم قبل از اینکه من – نوه اولش – به دنیا بیایم مرد. تنها چیزی که از او می‌دانم نامش است و شغلش و تنها نشانه‌اش دو سه عکس‌ای است که از او دیده‌ام. از مادرِ پدرم هنوز قیافه‌ای به یاد دارم. او هم وقتی [...]

Don’t Read SoT!

Tu vash misht. Tu vask misht. Grushdeva du kalt misht.
Surrender your flesh.
Surrender your will.
Your vengeance is through me…

Weeping Blood

Everything was ready. The ordinary razor blade was broken in two to provide better grip and control, the tissue papers to dry the blood that would be running shortly, the ash tray to gather the excess blood and soaked tissues, the lit candle for the hot wax that he would use later to fill the [...]

Testing the Syntax High-Lighter

Just installed the WP-Syntax plugin. Let’s see how it works…

 
template <bool Expr>
struct StaticAssert
{
enum {value = Expr};
};
 
template <>
struct StaticAssert<true>
{
enum {value = true};
};

{
enum {value = true};
};

For future reference, I used the [...]
