What is the point of a hunt?
You target your prey, then you seek it out, hunt it until you've gotten it. Some prey you let go because it isn't worth the time. Some prey, you use every aspect of your abilities in order to capture or kill it.
I've had my own prey for the last several months. I was thinking about the creature today and it inspired this entry. I kept thinking that there is an easy way to do things and a hard way. Its sad because most animals on a hunt run away...thinking it can evade its eventual demise or capture. Some don't even realize that its just to catch it and throw it back, unharmed. Just as your about to grasp your hand around it, the creature struggles. Why? Isn't easier to accept the fact you may be captured? Then in moments you'll be released and forgotten about just as quick?
But by evading the hunter? It only encourages her/him to use all and any resources to capture its prey. What may start out to be a tranquilizer dart and a net may end up to be a vietnamese tiger trap with bamboo spike sticking out of the ground, hidden, lying in wait for an unsuspecting creature to walk upon it?
I guess some animals get threatened.
I always thought the wolf was a proud creature, unafraid to confront anything. Leader of its pack, mysterious and yet stands out in the middle of the forest to be acknowleged by both human and animal...makes it worth the confrontation in a respectful and might I add honorable capture.
If a wolf evaded me, I'd see it as a weak creature...something I'd realize feared me so I could hunt it as fiercely as I wanted. Then upon capture, treat it as if it was a dog. *sigh*..But I guess some animals, because they're instincts tell them otherwise, misjudge the hunter's capabilities and will to hunt it.
In my own opinion, the best course of action is going after the members of its pack...see if one could get the leader to confront the hunter. Or, maybe hunt the leader's mate. I guess there is an easy way and a hard way.
Luckily, I no longer hunt alone...so even if I were on my own hunt and went missing? Maybe if I was torn apart or I was hunted down...The hunt would go on and go on fiercely.
Metaphorically, I've been refered to as a wolf by a native american (indian) chieftan. A pow-wow over the summer gave me a few new outlooks making me see that in essence, with my brothers I am part of a proud pack...but at the same time...a lone wolf. He said that I will eventually find my will to become part of a pack without fear....and ironically enough, I have found my pack. They are my friends and family. Anyway...in other news...
I was looking down the barrell and scope of a Beretta 390 rifle at Walmart with my girlfriend at my side and my friend who kept walking in the way of my aim. *Later on she asks, "Hun, put the shotgun down." We all giggle and laugh because of the implications.* Hoping to buy something for my dad. Personally, I don't believe in guns, I think they are the way of the weak. I perfer an edged weapon any day of the week. My favorite is the Bailsong, the butterfly knife...which is philipino. I bought myself one awhile ago...gave it away...bought another and gave it to someone just because it worked very well with their heritage...it takes real skill to fight someone with a knife...but the ability to hunt or fight with a knife is so hard that no one can really do it that well. Hence, why guns are such a moronic and stupid alternative...I figure this kind of gift would show how manly I can be that I know my weaponry well enough to get him something to replace his M-1 Garande.
I thought at that moment, "I should just buy him a power tool instead."
Went to target too...no pun intended from above, I applied for the hell of it. Walked around until I saw Half-Life 2...drooled for a little while and then saw the 1.3 Gig requirment for your processor...then wanted to cry. Went up to my darling dear and told her that Hollow had suggested that I get a new processor...and it'd be a great christmas gift...Ah...the sorrow...I couldn't even get Deus Ex 2 because I couldn't find the minimum requirements..covered by a pricetag!
I went to another walmart to visit a friend, told him about my prior visit to the OTHER walmart and he told me how some of the weapons were on recall. Well...looks like I'm definitely going for the power tools. While I was leaving, my love grabbed me by my shoulder...smiled, handed me a box and said "Merry Christmas." then smiled again. I opened up it again it was a knife that both of us wanted. Really beautiful and very sharp. But...I gave it to her more or less because she wanted it as much as I did.
Maybe I should stop dating girls that have an obsession with sharp objects. So far that makes three of em'...including the one before this one.
Finally...saw a book of magick at a shoppe...I wanted to buy it for my gf but my wallet was in my car and everything was closing...so I made a note of its existance...will get that and a rug with a pentagram on it...She was thinking about getting me my own pentagram necklace, she still might but I have not a clue if I should accept the offer. Ironically, I got a japanese deck of Magic: The gathering cards instead. Day ended with us downstairs on the couch sort of laying about...it's good to be king.
Anyway, because of some personal reasons I've decided to show that I could disappear from this very PHQ and nothing would change. It'll make things easier and besides...I'm going to California in January to start a new life. That includesgetting rid of my past. Sadly, this is a large section of it...and in order to put it all behind me...I have 3 left overs...one girl is part of it, PHQ is another, and an old friend is the last part. When I speak with the girl and the friend...then leave this place, I'll be ready to take on a new life full of possibilities. Apply at a fashion design place...the owner wrote me back saying my artwork looks promising and if I can get to Cali, I'm considered to be hired...I just couldn't resist.
Sincerely,
Legion |
