sit down and remember when...

Decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe'.
Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming 'do over!'
'Race issue' ment arguing about who ran the fastest.
Money issues were handled by whoever was banker in 'Monopoly'.
It wasn't odd to have two or three 'best' friends.
Being old referred to anyone over 20.
A chance to skate as a couple at the local roller rink was like winning the lottery.
Scrapes & bruises were kissed & made better.
It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the 'big people' rides at the fair.
When playing Nintendo was the hardest thing ever.
When Ninja Turtles ruled the world.
When a candy bar at the grocery store was the highlight of your day.
When the only thing you cried over was your mom being late to pick you up.
When stress was addition and subtraction.
When friendships were as complicated as who's house to sleep over.
When shaving cream was just meant for play.
When a first kiss only lead to cooties.
When Valentines Day meant cards for all.
When birthdays were a class event.
When a friend moving away was the saddest day of your life.
When the summer lasted forever.
When time didn't matter...

to live or not to live life... recklessly

i've always been the type of person who goes for what they want regardless of the consequences.
as long as i achieve that end goal, i'll never be satisfied with myself

sometimes it's really hard to explain that to others
my actions are rather misunderstood
but i guess everyone has an opinion

for me, i've realized that life is too short.
life is too short to worry about the consequences of every single decision and action you make
don't get me wrong, making smart decisions are good
but in life its not really necessary
yes. we lose track of ourselves
yes. we make mistakes
yes. we have regrets
but that's what life is or what it should be
you just let those things go and keep on moving
so go ahead.. make mistakes
... walk down the wrong path... have regrets....
in the end, you're only benefitting yourself

a movie... for the cynics

oh what is there to say about 500 days of summer...

it's imperfectly perfect.. why?
cuz it doesn't follow the typical love story
it's not girl meets boy and eventually fall in love
it's more of.. boy meets girl.. and that's it.

it shows the dynamic of a relationship that never blossomed into love

as the movie reveal, love is not controlled by fate or destiny. there's no such things as soulmates, first loves, etc...

love is just a word that people describe that fuzzy feeling.
its an emotion that's really not meant to be described

it is defined by those who experience and shunned by those who don't
i guess i would say love.. or the feeling of love is situational
but coming from a cynic... i really wouldln't know
i've never been in love...
which is why i love the movie. =D




Monday, August 3

its chilly outside,
just smoking... passing time
i can't see any stars, maybe because there's a light post in front of my house

i just realized... i have nothing to look forward to
my vacations' are over. 

my days are just... repetitive..
i hate it.
