* Inspiration

I thought I'd share this scene from Rocky 6. I watch it sometimes when I feel like I need a pick-me-up on those days of doom and gloom where I feel sorry for myself. Inspiring indeed.

* Why so serious?

I don't know how my blogging update pattern is going to be in the next couple of weeks once uni starts again, but I do have an idea of the type of things I'm going to be writing about. I've come to think of this blog as a place where I can vent my mind. I'm not really sure what kind of material you (the readers) really want to read as I don't get much feedback on this site, so I'm gonna just have to write what I feel I need to get out of my head, whether it's with humor or not. I can't promise that everything I post will be with the intention of being funny, but it will be real and honest. Hopefully that'll be enough for you to keep on reading.

Love

That feeling, how are we suppose to describe it? How do you know it's there?

Some say it's the feeling you get when you find someone that you can't live a day without. Others would find that scenario overly suffocating, instead saying it's the moments when they're not there, when you miss them like crazy, that defines it. Some think it's a feeling that happens and clicks as soon as you meet that gorgeous person, while others believe that something that strong moves slow. Maybe it's that feeling when you're completely afraid of ever losing them, or maybe it's knowing that you can walk out at anytime but choosing to stay. The feeling that'll pull you back to solid ground at the worst times, or maybe the one that'll make you feel like you're flying. The feeling of being so close to someone without saying a word, or the feeling of being able to say the words that you can't find anywhere else.

Maybe that feeling is all of these, or just a combination of some. Or maybe all of these are still not enough. If someone were to tell you what they thought love is, I don't think it'll be exactly the right answer. It's different for everyone. What we feel, how we get to that feeling, what we do with it. Everyone's answer is different (even if they might share similarities). Even the same person's answer might change over time.

And it's definitely not perfect. The feeling is easier for some, painful for others. You might feel it more quickly for one person than another, but mean more with the latter. You could have that feeling with someone, but still not feel as happy as you would hope. You could be lost in the moment with someone that you know is your love, but know that they won't be your last.

The answer of 'what it is' isn't clear, at least not for me. You might have this entire checklist set up in your head but, even with all the boxes checked, still not have that feeling. Almost impossible to have a definition that encompasses the entirety of 'love'. We might not be able to describe it or know what the hell it is, yet when it's there, we are sure. Without a doubt in the world, we are sure.


I think that's what we all really want. We just want to be sure, even if only for a moment.

FML

 Urban Dictionary Definitions:

1) Acronym. Stands for "Fuck My Life". Used liberally in posts on social networking sites, instant messages, and text messages. Generally used as shorthand for "nothing is going right in my life" or "my life sucks"

2) An acronym for 'fix my leg'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although I don't doubt the need for some people to urgently get their leg fixed at a designated leg fixing facility, this post/rant is directed towards those that use FML as the more widely known acronym for "Fuck My Life".

It is posted on facebook way too many times, and over the dumbest things. Over dramatic whining all over the place, trying to passive aggressively convey how hard life is by blowing out of proportion a small incident that is by no means difficult.

"I spilled orange juice on the floor. FML"
"It's raining, even though I wasn't even planning to go outside anyway. FML"
"I'm bored...FML"
"I forgot what day it was. FML"

Just one of the many things that people whinge about.

These are the people who can't sleep and like to let other people know about it. Do you know how other people are able to sleep? By NOT going on facebook. If you want to go to sleep, just get off the computer, go to your bed, and close your GODDAMN EYES! Typing nonsensical complaints has never been an effective way of curing insomnia, so stop being stupid!

You're complaining because you're doing something and getting paid!? Do you not understand that money is about to given to you? Fair enough that you complain about work, but c'mon 'FML'? If you hate the job that YOU chose, that YOU applied for, and that YOU drove to, then just quit and go back to relying on government welfare. And oh yeah, you're an idiot!

Isn't this the 4th time this week that this person has put up this status? Well if you're always late for the train, how about getting there earlier!? Seems like such a simple solution to unfuck your life. If the train comes at 12, get there at 11:50! The distance from your house to the train station never changes, so you should already know what time to leave your place to catch the train on time. Your life isn't f'd, you're just stupid!

What I'm trying to get at is, out of all the things in the world to complain about, the little things in life shouldn't be one of them.  No need to complain about things that you'll forget about in a weeks time, just have a laugh and move on. And at the end of the day, mishaps and misfortunes turn into great stories to tell. Just chill out people!
