UPDATE: Sheeeit! I got the frenzy. The Josh Frenzy! I just realized how huge my post was that I had to delete some sections. o_o"
Mates, I've a confession to make. I'm...
I'm..........
a Leprechaun. YES, I partake in mischiefs, YES, I play pranks on those who least expect it, YES I love green and am incredibly short, and YES I've got a pot of gold hidden at the end of the rainbow.
IT'S ALL TRUE!! That, and it's the birthday of
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, aka
Bapu (Father) Gandhi, aka
Great Soul Gandhi, aka
Mahatma Gandhi!
Agreed not many would actually go ahead and celebrate the birthday of this great man (despite some of his...
grotesque habits *shudders*), but he certainly deserves every salutations he can get. The dream he envisioned is coming true with every passing day, and the world and philosophy he envisioned is being embraced by people in every nation. But he was simply an architect: it is our duty to lay the foundations of a perfect world and the bricks of moral fiber
within that world. There's no question that his philosophies may not have been only the result of his travels but also probably influenced by the Multi-Religious Prophet (yes, there is such a thing)
Sai Baba of Shirdi. But despite what anyone might say, his philosophies
worked. Despite what people's beliefs are, though his thoughts were different his choices were wise and realistic. This man had a dream, an impossible dream, but when he fulfilled it he transcended into a
Mahatma of his time. A person like him only comes once every 500 years, but every nation deserves him nevertheless. He is worthy of a countless praises and songs, and today I salute this guy.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, OLD MAN! And thank you! That dream of yours WILL be fulfilled, if not by anyone else then us of the SPRINGTIME OF YOUTH!
Today its Gandhi's birthday. Tomorrow it's Tushantin-day (
Tu-Day, in short). Turning 22. My name (and username) has a funny story behind it. At birth, there was a debate what name would be suitable for me; some ideas were so
queer and impossible to pronounce that I would have died if my aunt hadn't named me "Tushant". As for my username: y'all know I was born in a poor family, and that's no secret. So it's obvious that being a 13 year old I wouldn't know jack about computers, so I asked a good friend to teach me how to "e-mail", even though I had no freakin idea what I was gonna do with it. My first Email ID was "CrazyChicken", because that's what I was called back then (hint: it was an insult targeted towards me, but I was too stupid to feel bad about it). But apparently the next day my password wouldn't work, so I tried to mimic what my friend did and eventually got the hang of this "Internet" thing. I chose the simplest username that occurred to me: "
tushantin". That was a username I hence used everywhere (with the exception of Hotmail).
Been here for three whole years and I've no idea how time flew past. My first post at the
Chrono Compendium in a
Chrono Game Music thread was claiming I listened to
Chrono Music... weird. Reading back some of the old posts I've been involved in I realize
just how much active it was at those times (I stay away for a day and there's ten pages
in a single thread for me to read).
I've even enjoyed playing in amusing threads that catered towards everyone, including the newbies; it was where I first assumed Crono evolved from a Pikachu (I miss that bastard
V_Translanka; the guy, with his incredible wits and humor, made me laugh). People loved the games so much, then loved the lovers of the game, and some of you ever got married. As FW said it's kinda tear-jerking to see kids grow up (IN THREE YEARS); that and at the age of 18 I sounded like a
freakin' 10 year old. I don't even know what changed me. *glares at linguists at the Compendium* ...Oh.
Had some wonderful times and some miserable ones too. You guys are like family to me.
I realize that
I've been the Spongebob of your Bikini Bottom, or the
Annoying Orange to your sacred kitchen (and screaming
KNIFE), and even though I enjoyed
every moment of being as annoying and weird as possible I think it's time to stop. And in that spirit, I apologize any stress I've caused; I know I'm a selfish prick, but somehow even my nicest of intentions got misinterpreted as assholery along the way. I never had any foes here at the Compendium: I loved everyone, and everyone I met was a
friend (save Dark
Fucking Serge). Thank you for being able to tolerate me for such a long time. XDDDD But I must confess that I enjoyed being a retard
and a genius in my life; maybe I'm the only one who can actually be both.
Perhaps my finest times may have been when I participated in projects, or creating my own projects (which I'm ashamed for not being able to complete in time). I enjoyed the research with Satoh and his ideas, FaustWolf and his artistic quest, utunnels and his curious insights, Alcyone and her perfectionism, and all those who may or may not want to be named.
I even enjoyed making those awesome animated avatars for folks;
thank you, ZealKnight, for still rockin the Turnip! With that,
I sincerely hope that some one takes over our Fleabane Project and helps take it to levels even I may never have imagined. It is truly a product of sweat and tears, and I will some day get back to it when life permits me.
I had so much to say to you guys but I don't think it's a good idea to extend this topic. Instead, I say these simple words:
Thank you. Thank you, every one of you beautiful people for inspiring me. I do have my age's new resolutions, of course (and I wish there was a more intuitive way to keep bullets in forums). This time on, this Tushantin will
change!
1)
Not give admins a good excuse to ban me (LOL).
2) Fulfill my commitments, and
not undertake more unnecessary commitments.
3) To be more like FaustWolf, Thought, Syna, Alcyone, Boo, and every Hero from my custom collection of philosophies (yes, I have such a thing; there are over 70 of them) that make me closer to being
The Ideal Human.
4) Help people, not by asking other people for assistance, but by personal contributions.
5) Finish my book! (I keep forgetting how important this is. This series of mine will eventually shed light to existential mysteries that we often break our heads to. The Compendium has provided me enough thinking, criticism and info pool for this, along with real life research. And yes, there are characters in it that are inspired by some of you folks)
6) Pay a tribute to the greatest detective / criminologist who ever lived by completing
Polar Detective.
7) Live by the
Ten Commandments (of
Sherlock Holmes)
8.)
Become a better artist like Yuumei. It's not her style I want to achieve, it's her philosophy.
9)
Remember to make ever progress necessary to become the Ahura Mazdah!If the people refuse to see truth then I will see it for them. I will eradicate difference, give a chance to stand, spread knowledge and wisdom for all mankind and from various sources. I will rebuild the love for nature and accept its gratitude. And if Global Warming doesn't kill us by then, I will do something about it. I will be the avatar of unification of mankind, of wisdom beyond religion and atheism, beyond the blind sight of mankind. The truth beyond truth. The Yin and Yang. The Ahura Mazdah!
I like number 9.
Numerphilosophically (or rather
Aesthetic Philosophy of Digit, in this case) Number 9 is a beautiful number, mostly because of it's neutrality. It is divisible by 3, but in straight multiplication it always returns to its true form; always unchanged. That is because 9, though mightiest in single digits, is also the one to fall at the sides of any other number. It basically means "All or Nothing".
