I’m easily awed by people who can sing. I don’t know why, but I have great respect for people who do – especially those who can perform (emphasis on ‘can’) on stage in front of an audience.
Maybe this is because singing has been one of the things that I really wanted to do but couldn’t or maybe I really just appreciate music, poetry, and talent a lot.
So, to all you great singers (and musicians as well), I salute you. Please be my friend. Haha…
Since I look at blogging as a very daunting task, I’ve decided to try other channels that I can use to vent out my frustrations.
Twitter was one of the options that I was considering. I’ve set up an account years before but I didn’t get to use it because I was too lazy to read the disclaimers on privacy. Scared of the complications that may arise from using that service, I just uploaded an old picture, tweeted once, and just left it sitting there, accumulating dust.
Then, I read from an article that too much privacy can also hurt you. The lack of publicly available information can be as equally damaging as negative publicity. What I’ve picked up from it was that I shouldn’t be too concerned with privacy on social sites just as long as I regulate my content with diligence.
With that, I installed a Twitter app and started posting away. So far, it has been a great substitute to blogging and I find it really therapeutic. I get to post more often plus grammatical errors and misspellings are widely accepted there.
So, if you want to read more about the stupid things that I do, follow me at twitter.com/stupidlout.
Is there more to life than this?
We all ask this from time to time. Whenever we encounter things that frustrate us (or whenever we’re just bored), we sometimes ask ourselves… is this really it? Is this really all that’s meant for me? Is <insert frustration from list below here> all that I will ever look forward to?
Select a frustration:
In my opinion, the answer to this is simple. If we think this way, then we’re just selfish, self-absorbed jerks who take things for granted, want more for ourselves, and demand attention by sensationalizing self-pity. Yep. That’s about it.
Now, on a serious note, we usually ask this question whenever we picture a ‘better’ version of our lives on our minds. We long for something we don’t currently have. What we don’t know is that what we have is already more than enough. It may already be more than we can handle.
So let’s stop and think for a second… Do we really need to be frustrated about these things (or do we really have to be bored)? Do we have to be always in debt when, in reality, we already have a lot of earthly possessions? Do we have to worry about getting rejected over and over again when a lot of people have already accepted us. Or do we have to stress about failing yet again when we haven’t really celebrated our latest achievement yet.
We should learn to appreciate what we have now no matter how insignificant it may seem. Yeah, I know it’s too preachy and sh*t and it doesn’t really give justice to the question, but still… uhm…
Well… uhm… Yeah! Download complete!!! I’m just talking nonsense here. I’m wide awake in the middle of the night suffering from a sleeping disorder. I’ve just finished stalking people in Facebook. And I was just waiting for this torrent to finish. So… please don’t mind my ramblings.
What was I saying again? Oh, well… nothing to do here.
