Pseudo Intellectuality You think you're clever, But you're really not. You assume you've got it, But in truth all you have, Is an image of intelligence, The package of a thought, And inside all you have is dust and dank rot. I guess we all do it, One time or another, Writing something that seems smart, When in fact it's just bother. Not a true reflection, Just a superficial thought, When you're pseudo intellectual, That's all you've got.

Thank You. There's no need to be saddened, there's no need to cry, we really have had a great run, you guys. The stories, the #poems need never be lost, They're here in our hearts, And shall never be gone. So keep writing, keep reading, live long and prosper, Maybe some day our stories will find a new place to foster. But remember this, dearest Opuss, it's here they were born, We'll never forget you, That much we've all sworn. So thank you for the stories, songs, ideas, Chants, #poems, rhythms and plays. I'll never forget you, None of us will, 'cuz you are our home, The paper for our quills. P.S. Thank you so much to everyone who's made this ride possible, but also incredibly fun. It's been an awesome time and we all owe you all so much. Thank you for building this tight knit community and for giving our musings a home. Yours Truly, Nikita Ostrovsky (@aBoy)

Proverb Light a man a fire, he will be warm for a few hours, Light a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his #life -- ancient proverb

Passenger Don't cry for the lost, Smile for the living, Get what you need and give what your given, #life's for the living so live it, Or you're better off dead-- Passenger, #life's for the Living. P.S. Highly recommend his album "All the little Lights", it's really great

Phone Call Phone rings. I pick it up. "Hello?" "Hi. How are you?" replies the voice on the other end. "Good." I reply automatically. Then, after a somewhat awkward pause, ask "Who's this?" "Is this John Smith?" comes the reply. "No..." I answer. "Oh. I thought this was John Smith. I apologise. But I'm glad to hear you're doing good." "Umm. Okay. Bye" "Bye." Thirty seconds later, the phone rings again a similar conversation ensues. Turns out the guy on the other end got the number wrong twice, and even the second time didn't realise he was talking to the same person as before. Slightly akward, but there we go :P
