That Feeling

You know that feeling when you talk to that special someone? You know, that one person you KNOW is THE ONE. Well, I found her.
But for now you will only know her as Opil.

Song Translations

I had a thought that if people would post songs in the comments of this post, I would translate them into whatever fit well (most likely my creole, Latin, Mandarin, or Cantonese).
Go ahead

Intolerance: The bigotry against Muslims

Recently, I was approached by the principal of my school because I told someone I had friends in the Middle East. Now, he didn't have an issue with their location. He had an issue with the fact they were Muslims.
Everyone reading this should know that I am a devout Catholic, I wouldn't convert even if my life depended on it. That being said, one of my best friends, Toqa, is a Muslim and she is the sweetest person with the most understanding heart in the world (nothing against you Dominka). We laugh together, cry together, draw together, write together, I help her understand my world and she helps me understand her world. When my principal told me that students didn't feel safe around me because I don't condemn their actions, I was sad. Don't get me wrong, I was angry, I was more sad though. I tried to assure him that I wasn't going to do anything to hurt anyone but I could tell that didn't change anything. About a week before, my history teacher went on a rant about how Muslims hate Christians. During that time, I left the room and didn't return until the end of the period to get my stuff and go to lunch.
Muslims aren't evil. The people that do evil things in the name of Islam would do the acts in the name of anything. I know I am going to get hate for this but I will say this, I am ashamed to be a Christian if that means I have to hate Muslims. I refuse to hate Toqa. She means more to me than anything else I know. I have known her for almost three years and I trust her. After my Poppop died, I thought no one could fill the void he left but she did. Her religion makes no negative difference. In fact it makes it easier to talk to her.
All this makes me proud to call her my sister through God. It was by His mercy I found a kindred spirit. For that reason, I refuse to evangelize to her. She is perfect the way she is. I will close with a quote from the Romans to silence all those Christians who would speak ill of our friendship.

But you who eat vegetables only--why do you judge your brother or sister? And you who eat everything--why do you despise your brother or sister? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God
Romans 14:10

Een example

Pows ecrins post la, I wi cog I should ja een example. C'est moi creole. I hapana yus id. I em id. Si I get enough likes, I bo poste een video de me spreeking hic. Grazie!
Si you pout lege hic, porfavo dic zai comments la.

Aha moment

At risk of sounding like a Mutual of Omaha commercial, I had an Aha! moment just a few minutes ago.
I speak a form of creole. It's my own special one, and I use it all the time!

Examples

I use German for questions often like
"Was ist das?" and " Wo bist du"

I use French for introductions like
"C'est moi backpack" and " I lo em"

Then, Chinese just sneaks in
"Can I watch a dianying?" and "I lo wi dong the play"

Latin is just thrown willy-nilly
"Quid tempus will you pick me up?" and "Amo the idea of trevelling"

Somehow, actual Louisianan Creole sneaks in
"But mom, mo travay!" and " ri a is lo flat"

Italian shows itself once in a while
"I modo got un po of help e huwa" and " io non o homework oggi"

Arabic likes to make itself known
"Huwa a libro la in his bookbag" and "enti know it?"

Hebrew comes from nowhere
"I Shomer libro la in my locker" and "Lo pa'al"

Oh sometimes, Gaelic comes into the equation
"I ithim  maiteoil for dinner."

And then when several words have identical meanings across languages they get specific meanings

Book

Katib- a practice book
Libro- a book in general
Buech- a borrowed book
Sefer-a reference book
Shu- a sketch book

Not

non- not (for a specific party or event)
bu/bat - not (for unclassifying parties)
m - uncertain but most likely not
hapana- certainly not, definitely, no possibility of changing
lo- not (generic)

What

Quid-what?
Was-what (thing)
Que?- What(did you say)
 

To be

Hai- reserved for people
shi- reserved for things
ta- used with the progressive tense

Examples

I non sikteyng you - I don't understand what you, specifically, are saying
I bat odi them - I don't hate all but some of them
Huwa ta'm vens- he most likely isn't coming
Id hapana halt- It doesn't stop, ever
Hiya lo ai ya- she doesn't like you

I hai een buachaill tres screwed up

Another Song

Same request as the first lyrics
so I am happy to present, Brutus

Brutus

The wounds are open
Bleeding out, not copin'
At the feet of my foe
Dying fast, with no place to go

Fire blazes and fire rages
You will be known throughout the ages

[Chorus]
You want to take it all
Like no one won't notice
I'll be Caesar and fall
you can stab me like Brutus
Screaming out loud, but nobody can hear
Et tu Brute! then fall Caesar!

Listen to no one, they don't care
Waiting to scatter me, in the air
Dipping your hands in my blood
Dirtying yourself with your own mud

Taking solace in your deeds
But solace isn't what your soul needs

[Chorus]

Cave! Cave! Cave! Curre Caesarem
Morere! Morere! Est tuum temporem
Ex ultionem morieris
te non moriar! ipsum necabis!

[Chorus}

A song

If someone could write some music to go along with this would be AMAZING

Inside my Insanity

Theme of the blog

Sun glows a dark hue
And morning grass has acidic dew
Fires burn cold and freeze wood
And dust only falls where statues stood
Chorus
A place where the land is unstable
The moon is always dark red
A place not understandable
Something some one has ever said

A breeze makes you deaf and the dark makes you blind
Open skies make you fall away and pitfalls make you fly
A place where you go crazy when you see the sky
Welcome to the inside of mind

Ruins are palaces and prisons are homes
Old ideas kill and new ones roam
Tears are happy and smiling’s sad
Being insane can really be all bad

Chorus

 Clouds cover the sky a storm arrives
Where all the cattle go stampede and drive
Finding no solace or amnesty
While inside my insanity
Chorus x2

A thought

My alphabets

Recently I had an idea to post some of my alphabets on my blog and let people take them out for a spin and get feedback. If you like the idea say so in the comments
