Kik - The Extended Definition.

Alright I am just going to get straight to the point on this one. Far too many times I have been asked what “kik” means, and it is not like I would expect you to know what it means, I just get tired of explaining it time and time again. So this here will, hopefully, be the last time I have to explain it. Instead of repeating myself and eventually just start giving people half answers, I will just send them this link. Perhaps that is why you are here, I said kik, you asked somewhere along the lines of “what does that mean” and I just replied with a link. Also if you do not want to hear or do not care about the back story and just want to know what it means, go to the third paragraph.

Basically back in 2010 I believe, I was talking with one of my friends on Facebook (shows how old this is (this statement is for future generations when I became famous for other things as well and this is added to my biography)), and I went to type “lol” on my keyboard, however I was not paying attention and I typed “kik” instead, and if you look at a standard “qwerty” keyboard you will see that the “k” is right next to the “l” and the “I” is right next to the “o”. Typing “I” instead of “o” is a common mistake, however I apparently jumped over a whole column of keys. Also if you do not know what “lol” means because you are in or from the future and “kik” is the common response, just look it up.

Now when I typed kik and sent it to my friend I noticed what I had done, and quite honestly, I liked it because it was different. I like to be different. So I decided from that point on, I would no longer say lol, I would say kik. However again, people would ask me, what it meant, what it stood for, so I had to come up with something. I thought and thought, and finally came up with something. It stood for “knowing it kills”, kills in the meaning of “that’s so funny! I’m dying laughing! You’re killing me!” After a while it got played with a bit and developed a few different meanings, like “killing insane kids” and “knowing I’m kidding” at one point, it was added that the “kills” in “knowing it kills” could stand for “knowing I’m laughing loudly, sorry” or “seriously” instead of sorry.

It will always stay “knowing it kills” though, because that is the original term for it, not to say that the other terms couldn’t be applied. I say kik instead of lol though, mainly for one reason than any else, the fact that I’ve been doing it for so long now, saying lol feels wrong and unnatural, and, not me. So that basically is really it, if you are still confused, tell me what about and I might explain better. I shall leave you with more so a question, than a quote this time, it is this:

If Pinocchio said "My nose will grow right now" what would happen?

Do We Really See The World As It Is?

So a friend and myself happened to be discussing a new movie that will soon be released, (to keep this from dating itself I’m not giving names of movies, people, etc.) in effect, we ended up discussing one of the actresses, determining what kind of movie it would be based on her… craziness. This led to my friend showing me a short clip on the internet of this actress doing something in a show, a show one would not expect this actress to be in due to it not fitting her typecast character. Needless to say however, she still managed to make her character as crazy as usual. The point in all this, is something in that clip that I saw, started an event of paradox based ideas in my ever churning mind.
Here is an idea of what I saw:

An obviously imagined creature, that in reality, is just a figment of ones imagination. However this “figment of imagination” was “brought to life” with the art of puppetry and/or costume mechanics. The interesting portion of this, is when one of the imaginary creatures, created a beam from its mind, forming a living imaginary friend, something to be of its own imagination. This of course is where our actress comes in, being the imagined life form.

Now here is what my cranium began to formulate:

In technicality, this actress, is the only real living life form in this scene, yet she interacts with the creatures around here, thus giving myself the assumption, that these creatures must be a figment of her imagination. The tricky part in this sequence that would cause a possible paradox, is the fact that, these creatures are now considered figments of her imagination, when in fact, you see the creature, imagine and un-imagine her, with the affiliation that she is a figment of imagination of the creatures.

So what is being said here is this:

The creature, a figment of imagination. created her, a figment of imagination, but again, the creature is just a figment of her imagination even though she was imagined by the creature. In aspect we are saying that she imagined herself being imagined by something that she in fact imagined but it imagined her in the first place but it is only there because she imagined it, and yet she is only there because it imagined her.

What it all comes down to is this:

Who is the crazy person in this whole scenario? Is it she, being the original imaginer of it all? Perhaps maybe the creature imagined it first? There is even the possibility, the crazy person, is the audience, or myself, imagining that this is going on when in reality, it is all a figment of theirs or my imagination. Wait, could it be you, the reader? Is it possible that none of this has even been written but you’re imagining it has? Are YOU crazy? Or, in reality, are we all just the imagination of a greater being, believing that we exist, when we really are just living figments of imagination or something greater than us.

In the end, what honestly matters, is what you believe, and how you see the world in front of you. Do you really even see the world as it is? IS there one true way the world is, or is it all determined by our own perspective? I can only say this, the more creative ways you come up with looking at everyday life, not only will life be more interesting, but you will find yourself asking a lot of questions, aspiring to have them answered, thus becoming more knowledgeable then you were when you led a simple, boring life.
