Song written by: Lennon-McCartney

Words are flowing out like
Endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
Are drifting thorough my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Images of broken light which
Dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
Restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as
They make their way across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter shades of life
Are ringing through my opened ears
Exciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which
Shines around me like a million suns
And calls me on and on across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

I want to design a programming paradigm that focus on fairy tale. Should I call it, FTOP Fairy tale oriented programming language. Why ? because most of the fairy tales are happy ending, so my programming paradigm should allow or force the programmer to be happier when they finish their job.

In my idea, a program should be the hybrid between pure OOP and prototype-based programming (e.g. wolf eat: girl.prototype(size=small, hat.type=hood, hat.color=red)) plus some indent-forced style of evil Python . This should allow to reuse a fairy tale. I mean, fox is mostly a bad guy, we should reuse them, right.

the program may be started and ended using tags like this

once upon a time
…
happily ever after

Well, let’s try a short program then, let’s use this tale

tale name: "Little Red Ridding Hood"

Errr well, it’s not happy ending, I should put grammatical error around here. Anyway, you got the idea 😀

I’ll try to show you another program later, maybe … snow white.

– Blowin’ in the Wind: Bob Dylan [video from youtube]

I’m in love with Pen-eak’s works when I watched “Last Life in the Universe“. I will not express my opinion about the movie here, because this blog entry is not about the movie. When I heard that there is a book which concludes some interview with Pen-eak, and the writer is Worpoj Panpong, I deadly want to read it. So, I bought it and asked a sister of mine to ship it from Bangkok, of course, I asked her to read it also, and she likes it.

Who is Pen-eak ? I believe the easiest way to answer this question is to watch his movies. Of course, I don’t know him personally, but from his interview, his personality which is expressed in the book is very similar with his movie. I didn’t say that he’s perfect or his movies are perfect. There’s many down-side of his life and also some holes in his movies. But, well, as we know, human are imperfect. The different between human and computer is our imperfection. The different between real life and story in movie is also the imperfection of our life. His life is also.

The point is, he accepts his imperfection and lives with it peacefully. Sometime, we know that we’ve problem or short coming in our life, but we just don’t accept it. We should not seek for a perfect life; instead, we should seek a way to live with our life, even it’s imperfect.

Life is a long journey and it’s shorter than we thought. When you found an imperfection in your life, sometime, fix it, sometime, accept it and live with it.
