this chick is kinda cute -- anyone else think so?
anyway, humans like to fight. let them fight. it's the circle of life. does it really matter who wins the fight? does it matter how many die. time moves on, and all our passions of today are swept under the tide of history.. forgotten to oblivion. like finding a seashell on the seashore that was once a thriving living creature struggling to survive and have a meaningful life, but is now just an empty random seashell, so are our lives.. -|-
