Must Move FORWARD!!!

I love reading fantasy stories. Especially those that are about a world/worlds that just sprouted from somebody's over-imaginative, over-free or over-active mind. Among my favorites are Diana Wynne Jone's Chrestomanci series, Robert Jordan's the Wheel of Time series, and definitely J.R.R Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings (you can't say you are a fan of fantasy until you've read this). The world has lost great minds... most recently Diana Wynne Jones... she was my favorite author of all time.

Anyway, in these stories there are beautiful women, beautiful men, magic powers, fantastic adventures... anything that would ordinarily never happen in our own dull, mundane world. But one thing I am most particularly fond of is the BATTLES! Most of the time (if not all the time), fantasy stories revolve around many battles, chief among theses the battle of Good VS Evil. There is something just so fascinating about this theme. Many stories, not just fantasy stories center about this theme. What is so intriguing about Good and Evil? ... ... I have no answer to that... it's just a thought, a Muse,you might say, considering the title of my blog.

So what has the title of this post got to do with all the above? Well, recently I have been feeling rather down... among them being my poor exam results, and also certain personal issues that I'll be d*mn if I am going to share them online for everyone to view xD... I was sitting down basically reminiscing(is that the word?) on the past and trying to understand Add. Math, when suddenly this voice suddenly shouted in my head: 

"FORWARD! FORWARD THE FLAG OF..."

I dunno what went after, but it must have been one of the flags in the fantasy stories I have read. It is a common battle cry, and it's usually shouted when the hero appears when all hope seems lost... I actually was inspired and stopped feeling down for a while! I know it sounds crazy... my problems now are nothing like a battle... but I felt inspired... LOL, maybe you don't, since you aren't a fantasy nut like me, but I hope all of you will leave the past behind and move FORWARD! FORWARD! in your lives :)
