"The Morningstar"

“Every little bit of good I may do, let me do it now for I may not come this way again.”

I know I know. I'm not suppose to use the library stuff for personal usage, but I just can't help it.I need to write.I need to blog people. But at the moment I am regretting to type using this PC. The keyboard here sucks.My Razer Lycosa is far far far awesomer (I know the word doesnt exist lah. But it's my blog I can write whatever I want on it right??) So any how, I just finish my second paper.It was quite tougher than the previous papers that I have done maybe it's due to the fact that I had reference and some teacher like help but that's not important.What is important is that what is done is done.Now, all I need to do is keep moving forward. My next paper is on Wednesday, an open book Finals, Well Test Analysis. Wish me luck peeps. :-)

Continuing on, what I would like to discuss with all of you is one of my personal favorite book written by the late David Gemmell. I once wrote an entry about him not to long ago. Well it may have been long time. I can't remember. I have STML (Short Term Memory Loss-courtesy from Thanu. She said SMS is noob. huhu~~ )The book is callled Morningstar. It actually has a close place in my heart. Why you ask?? Simple it is just another view to look at heroes. We all have them. Some may be dead.Some may still be roaming this earth. They are part of who we become.

The view of the protagonist is taken by his close friend, a bard by the name of Owen Odell. He tells people what they want to hear but the truth only to the reader. The hero in fact is a villain in his own way. He originally looks out for himself and loves money. But circumstances are thrust upon him which requires him to be a hero. This is the type of concept David Gemmell insert in his book. It is a simple theme that everyone is human and everyone has flaws. But if the chance or the opportunity emerges, they will shine. They will become strong. They end up being Heroes and Legends. In the end it is books like these that give us commoners hope. Hope that one day that time will come for us to show our true colors. Our true nature. It will be a time to rejoice. Before i end today's entry, I would like to talk about something out of topic. What a real friend is? To me, they are those who try to help you up when you fall. But if they cant, they'll just come on down  to sit beside you until your ready to get up. With that thank you and good night.

"And what is a man? He is someone who rises when life has knocked him down. He is someone who raises his fist to heaven when a storm has ruined his crop--and then plants again. And Again. A man remains unbroken by the savage twists of fate. That man may never win. But when he sees himself reflected, he can be proud of what he sees. For low he may be in the scheme of things: peasant, serf, or dispossessed. But he is unconquerable. And what is death? An end to trouble. An end to strife and fear. I have fought in many battles. I have seen many men die. And women too. In the main, they died proud. Bear this in mind as you decide your future."
