With my head throbbing and my stomach churning, I rode the killer bus that takes me to my building every morning. My office is a few blocks away from where I got off, but I was so not feeling well that I decided to ride a taxi. As I am typing this, I am feeling alright. The pain is bearable, but I'm scared that it might come back later in the afternoon.

I really don't want that to happen. I don't wanna puke all over the office.

My eyes are half-closed now while looking at the monitor. My fingers seem to have a mind of their own because they're moving over the keyboard spontaneously. I feel like I'm just sleepwalking through life these days...not that there's anything wrong with it.

This, I think, is my disease: my brain doesn't function as well it usually would when it's forced to think in the wee hours of the morning. I'm slowly trying to adjust to it. It's just that I always feel like it's taking my cerebellum a century to warm up to do the work.

I hope it would warm up soon. ]]> Marvin_loves_Jen http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/marvin_loves_jen/225-morning-disease-workings-brain.html http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/marvin_loves_jen/224-between-gaiman-unimaginable-thoughts-about-neverwhere.html Wed, 08 Oct 2008 06:12:33 GMT Horror is not only seen in movies or during Halloweens. If you are living my life, it is something considered as a staple adjective used to describe the things are.

I'm not goth or anything like that (not that there's anything wrong with it). I guess I am just born gloomy...or maybe not.

I love literature and reading is one of the things I love to do aside from sleeping and eating. Let's just say I have a very vivid imagination and I easily associate things with images. Books are great for very imaginative people so they say.

Speaking of books, I've come across the book, Neverwhere by uber favorite author Niel Gaimann. I was grinning from ear to ear when I finally got my claws on it. I never wanted to put it down right after the first five minutes of reading it. He really has THE talent to make words come alive. What I like most about his writing is that he capitalizes on his characters. With rich and oftentimes humorous play on words, his writing challenges you to dig deeper into the lives of his creations on paper. The scary creatures and creatures of the night he creates crawled into me and my everyday dealings. No doubt about it. This book is a must-read for everyone longing for horrifying yet very witty way of looking at the dark and gloomy.

I've been carrying this book around with me for about a week now. So influential it is that sometimes, I feel like asking myself if what I see around me is real? I mean how can we actually find out which is true? Does truth even exist?

So much for my existentialist views.

Truth and horror are in the eyes of the beholder.

We lead our lives with the orientation that only the quantifiable, observable and overt are deemed to be true. However, in the realm of the endless, human beings are mere mortal creatures and truth is not a matter of great importance. It is a world where the Olympian gods rule instead of George Bush; Kraken and serpents in the sea cause mayhem to sailors instead of icebergs; and humans are at the mercy of nature and not the other way around.
