Curiouser and curiouser...

And so I took a look at our moon today.
Grinning back at me like the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland...and then I saw Venus too,close by,down south.

Strange as it seems, I've never felt more at peace, even after the last few days, where I experienced a whole gamut of emotions and perhaps, even revelations about myself.*Actually, on hindsight, it seems that I had "conveniently" forgot about things I warned myself about.* (which makes this a harder pill to swallow.) Better now than never, I'd say.

No matter, life goes on.So I live.

On a happier note, I spent the whole day reading today. Haven't done much of that these days really. The holidays have started and well,I thought it was a pretty good time to start again.These are some of the books I'm shuffling between:

1. The Consolations of Philosophy by Alain de Botton
2. Regions and Powers:The Structure of International Security by Buzan and Waever
3. The Viceroy of Ouidah by Bruce Chatwin
4. The Republic by Plato

and lastly, spent some time surfing the wonderfully lame and nonsensical EDMW where I found this quote:

"He who hesitates;masturbates."

Sheer classic.

Will be rather busy for this holiday period though...what with the continuing CSP for LTB spread throughout and a camp for YMCA in mid-Dec. I'll be going to Bangkok this coming weekend with a small circle of buddies, so that's something to look forward to at least.

Talking about living lives earlier, we all live our own lives,right? So we should derive our own interpretation of the meaning of life,eh?

Now,if you were attached or married, well, your life becomes something much more complex. It's integrated into your partner's life and vice versa, which can often be synergistically enriching...or combustible.

Taking it briefly, the above was taken on a purely individual basis.

Right...moving along, what does it take to be human?Interactions with one another? Following an established code of conduct, whether morally,ethically or legally enforced? Survival of the fittest?Who dares,wins?Who loves,perseveres? Where does it begin and where does it all end?

Believe in fate?

I was watching a travelogue on Discovery, showcasing London. Just about an hour later,I went online and chatted with my dear friend, whom I shall refer to as B1 from now on (even if I can think of several others,to which she'll probably chase after me with teriyaki sauce and rice.)...and I found out she just came back from London.

Oh yeah, I know it's a bad example. Admittedly, that wasn't a very good example of how the pre-supposedly defined "fate" works, but well, in a way, that's life in a funny kinda way,ain't it?

We make do with things.

Oh wait, maybe I'm wrong.Maybe that's how I live my life instead. I make do with what I have. I never found much favour in fighting for things because I always thought they were "wants", not "needs". Simple economics denote the expenditure of an reasonable amount of effort/efficiency for the desired effect. No point in going to extremes to milk that little amount of extra benefit.*though it's damn tempting at times.*

But we're living in the real world and we all want more, yeah?

Well,so do I.

Now then...more of what?

And after all, it's a matter of perspective and our own meaning of life, ain't it?

Oh boy, I need a break.

*surfs porn.*

Later.
