The Riddle

If there are words to be written and I can't write them, then what is the point in writing.
If there are things to be said and I can't say them, what is the point in speaking.
If there are things to be done and I can't do them, then what is the point in being.
If there is a life to be lived, and I can't live it, then what is the point in living.

Sometimes I must hold back. Sometimes I must stop myself.
Sometimes for something to happen, I must do nothing.
Sometimes to feel more alive, I must know what it's like to die a little.




Sometimes people just want hugs.

Chuck Norris Facts

Well, the last post had obviously no effect whatsoever on my life. Except maybe that I changed my ringtone to Hey Soul Sister.
Wouldn't it be nice if, when you tell yourself something, like, 'Today I will be awesome and do awesome things', or even just 'Today I will be a nice person,' and it just comes true.
Just like that. Just because you say it.
You know, when they tell you all that stuff about 'Just believe in yourself and you can achieve anything!'? I'm not saying it's not true. It's just that they never tell you you might have to wait years to achieve that thing.
So if you're like me, you think that believing in yourself will produce instant results, just like sticking coins into a gum machine and *ding* out rolls a brightly coloured, highly delicious ball of gum. Immediately.
But it NEVER happens that way. EVERYTHING takes time. And time, well, I haven't found a more thorough killer of dreams than time (except, maybe...being killed). Who wants to sit around and CULTIVATE a reputation in literary circles? Which person wants to wait and SAVE and INVEST money to become rich? We are living in a time of INSTANT GRATIFICATION okay, which is like instant noodles, except even more tasteless.
*boom tish* (okay, not really. doesn't work if i do it myself).
Basically I just want everything I want, now.
But realistically, I'd have to work my arse of for what I want, or even if I do get instantly gratified (heh), I'll probably take it for granted. There is NO WINNING HERE.
Unless you are Chuck Norris in a Hummer, then you are MADE OF WIN.

I Don't Wanna Miss A Single Thing You Do

I am going to throw off this funk.
I am going to be more of me, and less of the person who is just going through the motions of life.
You know what this means.
This means I am going to make an effort.
At everything.

List of Everything

• Work, you may be the least loved of all the things on my Thing List, but you deserve the effort, because you pay for my pretty clothes and new shoes and what I like to pretend is happiness.

• Guitar, you may be a lover on loan, but that doesn't mean I should love you any less or spend any less time with you than I would one who is true.

• Writing, maybe I thought ignoring you would make it easier to forget you ever existed, and therefore allow me to forget the promises you used to hold for me. But I guess in our life, we're lucky if we even have one thing we do well. So why should I turn my back on you?
  
  
• Brother, you may be a snarky little twit most of the time and...yeah, I think that's about it. And I love you.
  
  
  
• Friends, I need to hang out more with you and you and you. I will make the effort! I will go the distance! Provided there is public transport to wherever it is you want to meet up at.
  
  
  
• Love, I need to realise that you are everywhere, and stop trying to find it in just one person, only to be disappointed when that person turns out to be human. Love is everywhere! Love is a hug, a smile, a teardrop, a laugh, a playful punch on the arm, an inside joke, a kiss, a moment, an open heart, anything. It's everything.
  
  

So, people. Can we be more alive? Or at least jiggle a little in your seats while listening to this:

Hey Soul Sister,

Ain't that mister mister

On the radio, stereo

The way you move ain't fair, you know

Hey Soul Sister

I don't wanna miss

A single thing you do

Tonight

- Train

Tak Rasa Best Pun

Kenapa hati kita selalu suka buat benda-benda bodoh? Kenapa hati kita suka sakitkan diri kita?Sebab dia rasa diri dia hebat? Sebab dia tak peduli tentang kita?

Dia ada niat kamikaze kot. Dia tak gembira selagi kita tak berada dalam keadaan takut, tak pasti, sakit hati, sedar yang kita tengah membuat benda bodoh tapi buat jugak, mengharap tanpa balasan, mengharap tak bertempat...

Haih.

Hati nih.

Kalau aku boleh sepak, aku sepak sampai kau sedar.

Benda ni ke yang suka menjahanamkan hidup orang?

Sebenarnya tidak, kerana hati yang dimaksudkan bukan literal. Terima kasih.

*Sebenarnya, ni bukan hati pun. Ni jantung. Tapi dalam BI heart tu jantung lah. Jantung lagi romantik dari hati. Kalau tak ada hati, masih boleh hidup lagi. Sort of. Kalau tak ada jantung mati kot.
