2 a book which gives information about a particular subject, in which the entries are given in alphabetical order


I have my own book of definitions as well.
However, they’re more for phrases than single words.

Check this out.

Power-of-Dreams
(no, not the Jap-car manufacturer’s tagline per se):
Hoping that something happens, but knowing it wouldn’t unless something else does, then constant thought of it creates mental pictures in your mind with such clarity even during R.E.M. that it was so realistic in feeling & emotion.
Then, it happens.

Director’s Cut
(what was supposed to have been included into the movie):
When Catwoman pounces in uninvited on Batman & Robyn while they were in the middle of a private dinner in an open restaurant and goes: "Meowwww… can I have a bite?"

Pinnacle of Leadership
(or the sense of it, magnified by some virtues):
That when you speak, all listen & other conversations abruptly stop, even when others have taken the podium before & after you but were not able to draw the attention necessary to bring the message across. Where others have failed, you succeed.

Keeping Calm
(even when shit has hit the fan & you have every right to experience a nervous breakdown):
Still be able to lead a magnificent team to pull off a much anticipated, wonderfully crowded & highly successful event despite the fact that your chest feels tight, your head is throbbing, you’re stuck between the left & right and the counsellor was contacted by hostile forces so now she needs you to contemplate on temporary peace measures.

Soothing The Wrecked
(while all else look bleak):
A simple word uttered & the gentle understanding to reach out & offer a hand to hold on to with the intention to bring about peace, calm & serenity, without expectations & other unworldly desires, just the mere gesture of true care, sincere trust & unconditional love.

The Awakening
(not just physically & mentally awake):
A realisation of the fact that hits you right between the eyes with the revelation that "This is it. No more games.", after you have been confronted by your maternal source that certain quarters appear to be mis-using the privilege of being heard, thus manipulating the turn of events to their favour.

The "Tag-Along"
(could be used on a person, a thing or simply a state of mind):
The irritation that doesn’t seem to want to go away, a persistent sensation of being agitated by a certain source or the fact that someone doesn’t seem to understand or comprehend that there are places you may want to go by yourself & that could be the next best thing to signing your own parole.

Probing Delusional Act of Defiance
(also known as potentially a career-ending deed):
Is when you tell someone that you are going somewhere & they ask to be taken along (refer defined entry above), but you couldn’t because it doesn’t justify the nature of the visit, then in defiance & in an attempt to embed more contempt, call up the place to check if you’re there. Best thing is: you’re really not, but you had to "unintentionally" give the name of the place due to the fact that the truth can neither be accepted nor revealed.

Birthday Present
(to give or to take?):
A 28" Luggage Bag which you purchase after dinner with the strong-willed determination to pack every single piece of belonging & get the heck away from Alcatraz, because the parole offer may end anytime soon, minds may change, plumbing may burst, temperatures may rise & the hope of ever seeing the sun from this side of the globe diminishes by the day. Just remember to bring along the passport in case the country doesn’t deserve this citizen with a strong & inerasable memory anymore.

Scripted Playwright
(when you know that she knows that you know):
Masquerade of words, dances of calculated moves, deliberate steps taken in anticipation of the next. At least till the line on the horizon broadens, no guards will be lowered & there really isn’t any ways to tell if the stalking would end.


Deadline: July.
Dead end? You bet.

A penny for your thoughts?
