November 2009
I've been given the pleasure of writing an entry, and i really don't wish to sound too deep or cleverly shallow. I guess, just a depiction of how i perceive a week, would be an interesting read.
Like any other week, i try very hard to get by. Constantly bombarded by issues of the mind and problems sustained from work. Sometimes i think I'm a scribe, living in a post-modern world. Where there's just too much thought, and too little sharing. Even writing a blog, seems somewhat vacant. With voyeuristic intentions, we lay down our lives, bit by bit, word for word.
Oops, there i go again, trying to sound clever. You know, i honestly think, intelligence is given, while trying too hard makes everything a sham.
Back on track, my week has yet to end, but time really seems to go by faster now. I often wonder, if it's because as i get older, the things that transpire around me, seem to effect me less, thus making me insensitive to the passing of much important events. I think, i spend a large portion of a week, reminiscing about the past. I've been told it's terribly unhealthy to constantly miss or recall events from before.
Trying not to live in the past, now that's difficult. I tend to look back at good times, at how we met certain people and how we used to believe certain things. Youthful pride, rash loving and willful desire. Now as i live in the present. I sorely feel, how much more meaning my past gave to my future.
Of course, my week is hardly that deep. I do have fun of course. I have had my moments of good conversations and meaningful glances. I'm sorry if i sound vague, but I have a habit of not being spot-on. Sadly, that's the problem with us all. We tend to savor too much into the moment, till we get so bored with our actual intention.
Well, that's humanity for you, drastic extremes. We are either too good, or - too bad.
Well, half-way into my week. I do realize my table is still cluttered. Discovered recordings of Damien rice with Lisa. Listened to The Professor a million times. Realized that we have to take things in our stride, and give love to receive it back. It's really ok to be overly mushy, and honestly, being on the safe-side works most of the time. And did tons of drawings and personal writings. Which in short, is nothing less, then a mess.
Don't get me started on mess. You probably can't stomach, how i can derive philosophy from clutter.
Basically, if you could not make head or tail of my writing, I'm well known for creating gibberish. (actually on a regular basis)
If i had any goals this week, it would probably be to get some real rest. I fail to mention, being in my prime, i tend to burn myself out. Sadly, by thinking so much.
So, i hope you enjoyed reading a rather short posting, which i tried terribly hard to sound interesting. You know, with all the effort in trying to emphasize personal believes and bits of me trying to sound clever. I do hope i don't seem like a sham, because, i hardly think i have given intelligence.
To end it all, i hope everybody has a thought-provoking week, and if there should be a shortage of anything, i dearly hope it's a lack of heart-breaking relationships, money-wasting trips and fake friendships.
Have a blessed week.
good ol' drinking session
(drink to relax, not forget)
what more can i say? umm meet-up soon? =) (i know we will.)
now
some people say
happiness
takes so long
to find
the library’s cafe
220708 Tuesday
a place of quietness
as the rule is abided
mind your own business
as everyone else did
i found a place
at the corner
a place non-obstructive
for whoever
a cup of hot cafe latte,
perfect for the cool weather,
sat on the table
golden brown sugar, dropped in later
i thought about the life of mine,
while getting my latte sweetened,
not everything in line,
then it becomes slightly darkened
with a book in hand
ears filled with songs from a band
it's amazing, i find
a blend of a different kind
an upbeat, cute n sweet song that i can't shake outta my head. =)
Can't Smile Without You
Barry Manilow
You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm findin' it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you're sad
You came along just like a song
And brightened my day
Who'da believed that you were part of a dream?
Now it all seems light years away
And now you know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm findin' it hard to do anything
You see, I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm goin' through
I just can't smile without you
Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
Well I'm finding it hard leavin' your love behind me
And you see I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm findin' it hard to do anything
You see I feel glad when you're glad
I feel sad when you're sad
If you only knew what I'm goin' through
I just can't smile without you...
some random stuff..
Libra - July 22, 2008
Take this day to lighten up, dear Libra, and not be so concerned about life's deeply intense, emotional issues. This is the time to put those things aside and remember that our purpose here on Earth is to be happy. Perhaps you find yourself in heated discussions with people about what exactly happiness is. Philosophical debates may result, and you will delight in sharing stories and comparing notes with others in order to really pinpoint what it is that you are searching for in this life, and how you plan on getting it.
(so.. what eactly, is happiness?)
There’s an art to drinking alone. Appreciate its beauty with these tenets of solo drinking.
• Don’t use it as a warm-up. It’s a prelude to nothing. Drinking alone must be an event unto itself. It’s never about getting sloppy, or lucky, or even happy. Beginning and end, make it a choice. A gift, not an escape. It’s about raising your awareness, not dulling it. Be neat, small of affect, businesslike.
• Start in the afternoon. 2:30 is universally a good time, since the bar will be empty, the bartender busy stocking the coolers, wiping down bottles.
• Forget bar chatter, since it’s about drifting, forgetting, passing time without noticing. Instead, quietly pay attention.
• Drink liquor — whiskey.
• Get a beer back, if you must. Gin is acceptable too, but don’t put anything sweet in it.
• Ignore the television.
• Listen a little. Enjoy the muffled aural measures of a bar waking up. Watch the door or the window instead. Draw connections to the world outside, even as it recedes slightly from perception. Notice the angles of light, the pulse of the traffic, even the evolution of customers who drift in as the day twists down to its nub.
• Read a paper, sure. A book is good too. Crack the spine and lay it flat on the bar. Read, don’t pretend to read.
• Don’t eat. Drinking alone is not about buffalo wings.
• Look up often.
• Jukeboxes are an acceptable diversion, though don’t ever select Cat Stevens when drinking alone.
• If a friend happens in, do not demur. Instead, take it as an irrefutable signal that the meditative event of drinking alone is over. You aren’t alone anymore. Buy him a drink and, after a reasonable juncture, leave. Give him what you came in for. A little solitude, with liquor. There’s no shame in it.
people whom just doesn't understand english well:
- she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice box because it said 'concentrate.'
here she is:
just like a song
and brightened
my day
who'da believed
that you were
part of a dream
now it all seems
light years away
they are such a joy to be with.
=)

saving
all my love
for you
I Still Believe
Mariah Carey
You look in my eyes
And I get emotional inside
I know it's crazy
But you still can touch my heart
And after all this time
You'd think that I
Wouldn't feel the same
But time melts into nothing
And nothing's changed
CHORUS:
I still believe
Someday you and me
Will find ourselves in love again
I have a dream
Someday you and me
Will find ourselves in love again
Each day of my life
I'm filled with all the joy I could find
You know that I
I'm not the desperate type
If theres one spark of hope
Left in my graspI'll be holding it with both hands
It's worth the risk of burning
To have a second chance
No, no, no, no, no, no
I need you baby
I still believe that we can be together
If we believe that true love never has to end
Then we must know that we will love again
CHORUS (x2)
I still believe
Someday you and me
Will find ourselves in love again
I had a dream
Someday you and me
Will find ourselves in love again
this song's pretty backdated. but it's still as nice.
man time passes real quick.
today's day 202.
im still hanging on.
amazing.
it's bitter,
yet saccharine sweet.
simply because
i still believe,
in that littlest something.
it's worth
the risk of
burning
