impose and be disposed

my belief is of an egalitarian
i try to speak little; a taciturn
when i do, it's ephemeral
i do not practice euphimism

if you think its draconian
most of time its incandescence
am not creating an insurrection
merely trying to make senses

resolutions resolutions. wat's ur resolution, for a new year is coming? strange, we keep bringing forward old habits that we want to discard. and most keep bearing grudges about whatever that hurts. most can't wait to have a fresh start. wat have the years tot us? to be perpetually wishing the year to end, for a better year ahead? most of our problems are within us. face them and remedy them. believe in the power of now.

one day closer to a new year

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

SONG OF THE DAY
"You can run from love
And if it's really love it will find you
Catch you by the heel
But you can't be numb for love
The only pain is to feel nothing at all
How can I hurt when I'm holding you?"
- Lyrics by Bono
Song by U2, a man and a woman

n.b: as i'm writing, a woman across my flat is attempting to take her own life. on tenth floor, sitting on the parapet. men in uniform are all over.

problem of the soul

"What have I got? Really? Some money in my pocket, some nice threads, fancy car at my disposal, and I'm single. Yeah... unattached, free as a bird... I don't depend on nobody and nobody depends on me... My life's my own. But I don't have a peace of mind. And if you don't have that, you've got nothing. So... what's the answer? That's what I keep asking myself. What's it all about? You know what I mean? "


- Alfie (2004)


i was really affected by jude law's latest movie... nuff said...

ignorance

i want to be geographically somewhere else, for a while. this island i'm in is full of ignorant residents, and when they know one bit, they inexplicably become condescending. i'm fast being a product of this factory if i don't take a break from here.

i can't say i have travelled far and wide, although i wished too. but there's nowhere else i remember, where smiling to strangers is a crime. females will think i'm trying my luck, males will think i'm gay. and when you rush to a lift that is closing, they'll pretend they don't see you. a mugger, i am, NOT! and when you're in the lift, everyone avoids the buttons, cos they don't wanna be the one asking, "which floor?". or maybe their fingers are preoccupied to be pressing.

students are made to stay for hours after stipulated times. to perfect their maths and science, such young age(not including private tuition). if only the extra hours are made to read philosophy, sociology, poetry or languages. why introduce these subjects at an age too old?

A's they may score, not knowing banana trees only bear fruit once, or belgians do not speak belgese.

'you're such a snob,' she said, with a provoking laugh; coming from the family he was thought to be snobbish about, this was a bit of a facer.'i'm' not really,'said Nick, as if a small admission was the best kind of denial, 'i just love beautiful things.'

extracted from alan hollinghurst's the line of beauty... bought the book out of whim, but it's already gripping.

the ground beneath my feet

the attempt to please everyone is indeed a mammoth task. forgive me if i had caused you displeasure, and i seek forgiveness in advance if i will create any discomforts in the near or distant future.

i had vowed to live my life for myself. one time too many, i had lived for others, at the expense of my own well-being. i want to satisfy my own whims and passions, not to be at anyone's beck and call. nobody is indispensible... not even myself.

so wat if we'd been thru thick and thin?
so wat if we are buddies?
so wat if you owns my heart?
none of u owns my soul...

G star raw

"be ready to be surprised by grace. and be wary of security as a goal. it may often look like life's best price. usually it's not...

separation. none of the changes i made in my life were anything but scary at the time i made them. but there are two ways to think about separation; as a loss, or as a beginning. to separate is to start fresh"
