Tired but not pissed...just yet.

I am tired, physically mostly but there are days that even mentally, and maybe emotionally and spiritually drained.

I need time to renew, rejuvenate, and remind myself that there is more to life than whatever I am doing now.

It’s time that I do something for myself, not that I claim that I’m a man for others, but I’ve being a lot of things for other people. It might indirectly benefit me nevertheless it’s not something for me.

I have to go out and live life, not a shell of a life which I currently have now.

Film Quotes that move me

I'm a big film buff and as they say film reflects life, so here are some of my favorite movie lines that make me think and say to myself like "oh yeah" makes a lot of sense (or at least to my life):

2001 Space Odyssey
HAL 9000: I know everything hasn't been quite right with me, but I can assure you now, very confidently, that it's going to be all right again. I feel much better now. I really do.

About Schimdt

Schimdt: Relatively soon, I will die. Maybe in 20 years, maybe tomorrow, it doesn't matter. Once I am dead and everyone who knew me dies too, it will be as though I never existed. What difference has my life made to anyone. None that I can think of. None at all.

Accepted

Ben Lewis: What is education? It's paying attention, it's opening yourself up to this great big ball of shit that we call life, and what's the worst thing that can happen? You get bit in the ass! Well let me tell you, my ass looks like hamburger meat, but I can still sit down!

The Age of Innocence

Ellen Olenska: You couldn't be happy if it meant being cruel. If we act any other way, I'll be making you act against what I love in you most. And I can't go back to that way of thinking. Don't you see! I can't love you unless I give you up.

American Beauty

Lester Burnham: This isn't life, it's just stuff. And it's become more important to you than living. Well, honey, that's just nuts.

I'm just an ordinary guy with nothing to lose.

American Graffiti

Curt Henderson: Somebody wants me. Somebody's who's out there, roaming the streets, wants ME... Would you turn the corner?

Annie Hall

Alvy Singer: Love is too weak a word for what I feel - I luuurve you, you know, I loave you, I luff you, two F's, yes I have to invent, of course I - I do, don't you think I do? You know how you're always trying to get things to come out perfect in art, because it's real difficult in life.

Blade Runner

Deckard: I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life... anybody's life... my life. All he'd wanted was the same answers the rest of us want. Where do I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do is sit there and watch him die.

Breakfast at Tiffany's

Paul Varjak: You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You're chicken, you've got no guts. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, "Okay, life's a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness."

Full Metal Jacket

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Because I am hard, you will not like me. But the more you hate me, the more you will learn. I am hard, but I am fair!

Garden State:

Sam: What do you do? You laugh. I'm not saying I don't cry, but in between, I laugh. And I realize how silly it is to take anything too seriously. Plus, I look forward to a good cry. It feels pretty good.

This is your one opportunity to do something that no one has ever done before, and that no one will copy throughout human existence. And if nothing else, you will be remembered as the one guy who ever did this. This one thing.

High Fidelity

Rob: She's a single. I'm a single. I'm a single man talking to an attractive single woman who may or may not have just confessed to feelings of sexual frustration. Oh my God...

We have one of those conversations where everything clicks, meshes, corresponds, locks, where even our pauses, even our punctation marks, seem to be nodding in agreement.

THX 1138

THX 1138: What am I to her or she to me? Nothing. She's an ordinary roommate. I share rooms with her. Our relationship is normal, conforming. We share nothing but space. Bugs Bunny: Don't take life too seriously you'll never get out of it alive.

People would do anything to get rid of stuff they don't want...

People whether we admit it or not we like stuff, whatever kind of stuff it is gadgets, widgets, bags, shoes, keychains...everyone has a collection of sorts and then there are some who are just plain pack rats. They go out and buy whatever they fancy...use them and then keep them when they're tired of it or until something new comes along. Which in turn becomes a bigger problem getting rid of the junk you've accumulated due to an impulse buy.

My friends say that why you have ebay, bid sites and forum that have for sale sections which help people sell and move those stuff...yeah true and it creates fodder for folks like Jay Leno and company to have actual segments of their show dedicated to featuring people selling all kinds of weird crap for a ridiculous amount of money. We laugh our head out because we know that somewhere out there, there is an idiot waiting to buy this shit.

There are people who would tag their ad "For Sale Almost Brand New Cellphone, Used 2 days". Really how can something be "almost" brand new, the moment you opening the packaging it's used. Haven't these people ever gone to a store before...some items have it clearly printed "VOID IF SEAL IS BROKEN" that is supposed to tell you something right there. Whoever falls for this ploy is severely underinformed or is missing a screw.

These sellers even have the gall to give you a guarantee to give your money back if what they sell doesn't work but when you do come back to collect on that guarantee quite a number of them do suddenly disappear from the face of the earth. As earth opened up and swallowed them, and for those of who experienced this surely wish they were.

To date, in my few instances of being able to actually surf (I need a life outside of work), I found probably one of the more twisted things a person would sell...

I removed the contact details for the person's own good. COME ON! Are you retared or just nucking futs...selling in-ear headsets. Anyone who would want to buy this would also be equally out of their mind. Just imagine you plugging into your ear the same silicon earbuds that another person used because I'm sure as hell there is no assurance that, that person did not use the other earbuds as well. I'll stay way clear off ads like this unless I want to risk my hygiene and health just like that...and reason I'm hardcore that way.

So this is what I think at the end of all of this...people should really think about what they're buying...in an era of endless consumerism we accumulate too much material things and when the time comes we need to get rid of them, we unwittingly make it other people's problem. To me it's about just sticking to the basics buy what you need, not what you want. If you really think about it your not taking it anywhere when your dead.

Nuff said.

Finally...

Beyond all sense and comprehension I finally caved...yes I've finally started a blog.

Apparently as any shrink would tell you keeping things to yourself would be detrimental to your health but I've always reasoned out that what drinking sessions with friends are for. Then as you mature (euphemism for growing older), you realize that not a lot of things that need to be said gets said while in a drunken stupor. I guess this is simply because your mother tongue now strictly becomes your second language and you become fluent in "drunkenese" (I give credit to Robin Williams for coining this term).

As I sit here and write my first entry to my blog, I realize more the beauty of the written word. Words have power and emotion, just like pictures. But unlike a photograph, where at times the nuances can be lost depending on who views it, words have a way of putting things right in your face.

I am not a lyrical writer nor do I lean to the poetic which is great (for me at least), as I intend to use this avenue of expression to air my thoughts, share my emotions, rant, rave and just simply set into words what I feel, think or care to express. If your opinion differs from mine; wonderful you are entitled to it. If you feel the need to give me advice, great I can always choose to not take it. If you think I am wrong, don't lose sleep over it coz it's me on the line and not you.

If you find what I write to be interesting...thanks. If you need my opinion on something then ask, hopefully I'm in the right state of mind when I give you an answer.

So there...nuff said.
