I Am Buraot

I have traveled the Great Plains…

With endless corn fields and cascading hills of greens. I saw the crops sway back and forth with the invisible afternoon breeze. I could see more cows than people. But the people are friendlier and very eager to see another soul.

The skies are always clear, free of polluted haze and glares of some big intimidating city. It was all peace and quiet here, but as serene and tranquil as the place can be, this is just not for me.

I have come across the deserts… With endless stacks of sands and hot cracks of molten rocks. Miles and miles I have yet to see humans, just critters and crawling lizards. The land was so arid and dry it never knew water existed. Continue Reading…

I got another congeniality Award cum Tag. This time it’s the Friendship Award from one of our Entredropper, Miss T.

Some people hate meme and tags and awards. They think it’s childish, answering a bunch of questions, some mundane, a waste of blog space because it pertains to nothing but converts the blogs into social networks, and a waste of time.

Some people love it. It creates camaraderie and friendship among fellow bloggers, it creates a sense of community in a whole wide world of the blogosphere, and it promotes regular traffic and interactivity, and ultimately, it provides backlinks for all of the participating sites. Continue Reading…

As a personal rule, I try to bastardize any memes and tag and make fun of it. While it can be as childish as can be, it can also be fun. And of course it makes the links go round, if I may say.

Besides, this came form a personal friend. I got another tag from Pinkoy, this time it’s called the Neno Award. Continue Reading…

I got this site’s very first Meme Award, an Honest Scrap meme award from Pin(k)oy.

And according to this meme, I had to divulge, honestly, 10 facts about me. On some other blogs, I think I had these things covered. But for the purpose of this meme and this new site, I’ll put some… Continue Reading…

This is me.

My life around me, things that surround me. Everything that falls beneath and anything that there above flies. My descent to the abyss and back to the arms of the heavenly.

My philosophy is humanity. I am a citizen of the world, nationality only creates boundaries. Science is my religion. As much as science cannot prove everything, religions are just a by product of cultures. We can give thee endless names, but there is only the One. Continue Reading…
