Dear Game,

Symbology 101

Dear Meaning,

A bold type, a green light, and the middle finger.

A red hexagon, an downwards pointing arrow, and a skull.

The Big Dipper, a scepter, and a pennies over the eyes.

Symbols have a place in every person's history and language. These icons represent a greater meaning through resemblance, convention, or association, and can be both intricate or simple. From a thumbs up to Plato's infamous Divided Line to Rockafella's diamond, universal signs allude to something more rich in meaning. Here are a few that I've found...

Khanda -- a very important symbol in Sikhism which alludes to the four weapons used by Sikhs during the time of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the last Guru of the Sikhs. The image represents the infinite life of God and his perfection. The four weapons are:

1. Khanda -- the double edged sword in the middle representing God's duality (Miri = political sovereignty and Piri = spiritual sovereignty)
2. Chakkar -- the circular weapon surrounding the Khanda
3. Kirpans -- the two single-edged swords surrounding the first two weapons

Aum -- this symbol to the right is written in Tibetan script but orginally comes from Hindu texts. It is placed at the beginning and at the end of all spiritual readings as a sacred exclamation. The etymology of this word is believed to come from the Sanskrit name of the syllable pranava which in turn is rooted in the word nu which translates into "shout" or "praise."


Ouroboros -- this ancient symbol has meaning in both religion and mythology. Generally the dragon or serpent swallowing its own tail represents the cyclical aspect of one's life and unity. The name Ouroboros is the Greek word meaning "tail-eater" and the image of the serpent is believed to have come from the cosmos as many believed that a serpent of light resided in the heavens.

I'm Back, Biatch.

Dear Santa,

With only 20 days until the infamous eve of crawling mice, cookies, pine needles, and all things jelly related I felt it appropriate to list my "I Wanna I Wanna I Want" List.

1) In a valiant effort to improve the education of nearly two billion children in developing countries, the One Laptop Per Child program is seeking to expedite this process by providing the necessary tool: the laptop. While the initial plan was to cost the "learning learning" computers at $100 USD, that price cannot be reached until the volume of orders reaches x number driving the manufacturing costs down. So OLPC has launched the Give One Get One program where when you order a laptop for a child overseas you also receive one too! Think of it as buy one get one free.That's actually pretty much all I want for Christmas....yeah, call me an angel, call me a saint, but I just like to be called a normal human being. Everyone is a hero at some point in their life, I just happen to be one every day of mine. No biggie. Ha!

Update: my computer is still brokedeezy and I can't seem to figure out my mom's mac. Here my complaints re: the computer...

• Everything is round, there are no edges! I want some effin corners in my windows!!!
• There is no right click button so how do you save pictures? The left click button is so unusually large that I don't think its a bad thing to suggest to ol' Stevo to just split that right down the middle.
  
• I can't figure out how to open two windows or the same thing. The same window just keeps popping up.
  
• MacBook is racist. Yeah. So there.
