Fidget Fidget Fidget...



As a personal abuser of the fidgeting abilities of a human being, I do believe that that the action has been wrongfully analyzed and misjudged. It is not a sign of insecurities it is a sing on uncertainty, or just making sure the dress is still there.

In a world that has driven women to dress in skimpy little dresses, with unbelievably gorgeous, yet painful heels, tight jeans, and teeny bikinis, it is very important to overlook the fiddling action and get over it, at least we’re there looking this good.

It is almost impossible for all human beings to be confident about a certain outfit, or how it looks, or of a certain position, and how comforting it is. The matter of the fact is that that action makes ME, and I’m sure other inhabitants of this planet, comfortable.

So FIDGET FIDGET FIDGET !!!

Nostalgic

By definition, nostalgia is “a mixed feeling of happiness, sadness, and longing when recalling a person, place, or event from the past, or the past in general”. But if you think about the word, it’s amazing how it can have two opposite meanings combined.

Happiness: “feeling or showing pleasure, contentment, or joy”
+
Sadness: “feeling or showing unhappiness, grief, or sorrow”

Even though, language has been around for thousands of years, it’s amazing how it still lacks expressive terms of how a complex human being feels or acts. Nostalgic is a step-up for mankind never the less.

The existing of the two opposite feelings together highlights how complex a person can be, and life’s circumstances can make him feel. If a person was asked: How are you? He or she replies: good or bad (even though good is a grammatically wrong answer.

Under Construction



The” I’m working on it” phase. This is when everything in one’s life has come to a complete stop and nothing seems to be moving forwards. It happens to the best of people. The only difference is that some will hire a contractor to fix, some will do it themselves, and some won’t do anything at all.

If you chose to get help, this means you are either dependant, co-dependent, or just insecure and unable to do things yourself. However, credit is in place for you have done something about it!! All roads lead to Rome in the end.

However, had you chosen to fix yourself up, give yourself a round of applause for you have accomplished what almost 90 percent of the world couldn’t. Whether it was just losing weight or finding a better job or hitting the jack pot on a poker table, YOU DID IT and no one can take that away from you.

If, God forbid, you are one of the ‘life is un fair’ kind of person, please join a cult that eventually commits group suicide. The EARTH moves each and every nano-second, bee’s fly despite its tiny wings, and even snails move. There is no excuse for doing nothing about the rut that you are in.

Are We There Yet?

Nothing is ever good enough and you will never get there. This theory is usually adopted by pessimistic people of the planet that look for the speed bumps and go on it. Thing is, for whatever road they choose, they never get to their destination. Most of us don’t anyways. But it’s as annoying as kids can be when talking about it, complaining, and nagging about it. You want to get there? Get in the fucking car and drive off. Don’t try crossing oceans on foot.

Black & White


How did scientists find out that dogs are colorblind? Did they turn into a dog one day and saw what they see? Or maybe during the ‘year of the dog’ they spoke out and told them so.

In life, some people are colorblind, literally and figuratively. If they one is literally colorblind, he or she is blessed with a gift to see the world in a way almost no one else is. Sure, he or she will have the off day where their outfits are mismatched and they’re wearing blue lipstick.

However, if a person is allegorically colorblind, I pity the soul of having to see the world in that way. By thus I mean people who see the world as black or white, and the grey areas don’t exist. You’re either with us or against us, straight or gay, believer or non-believer, good or bad, innocent or evil, a devil or an angel, successful or a loser…etc. failing to see the world as it is; a mixture of in-betweeners.

So accordingly, the world is divided into colorblind and in-betweeners. The good news is that its 2009, the in-betweeners are spreading vastly around the planet. POWER TO THE PEOPLE! The bad news is, colorbliners are in control. They are the parents, the boss’s, the presidents, the policemen, the teachers, the CEO’s…etc.

L.O.S.T

It has recently become a trend for one to describe his or her personal state of mind and emotion as lost. Funny part is that the solution to that person’s problems is definitely not finding them.

“Lost without you, can’t help myself...”

“I was lost, but now I’m found!”

And then what? You don’t help a lost cat by finding it, then why is it that you can help a human in that way. Have our emotional needs become so easily fulfilled that even the smallest gesture of kindness satisfies it, or in this case, the physical discovery of one’s existence?

“Eureka, I’ve found it”

Never mind the language lesson, people like to be found, and if I may add, found in the perfect form. Every girl dreams of ‘finding’ her perfect man, or in some cases, woman. And when she finds him or her, she has to be perfect! I have personally been through so many of the “NO HE CAN’T SEE ME I LOOK HORRIBLE” experiences, and for what? For finding out that ‘finding’ a person comes in the most coincidence when you are not ready.

Ever lost an earring that was right in front of you? Or never found that sock in the washer? Its either there in front of you or not, finding it is only a matter of perception and how what you see translate in your mind and heart.

It is commonly known that if you are lost, you should stay in one place until you’re found. So if you are lost, and looking, chances are you are just running around in a never ending maze.

Moral of the story: STOP LOOKING!

NAMES


“I am an Alice” (from Alice In Wonderland by Disney).

Names are words or terms that describe a person or a ‘thing’. It’s what distinguishes that person & ‘thing’ from the rest of the world.

But why do humans have the need to label everything as they do. Why do we only function with tags and fear the unknown? Eventually we will run out of names!

“The Second Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary contains full entries for 171,476 words in current use, and 47,156 obsolete words. To this may be added around 9,500 derivative words included as subentries. Over half of these words are nouns, about a quarter adjectives, and about a seventh verbs; the rest is made up of interjections, conjunctions, prepositions, suffixes, etc. These figures take no account of entries with senses for different parts of speech (such as noun and adjective).” There is also an estimated number of around 6 thousand languagegs.

As of 8 February 2010, the Earth's population is estimated by the United States Census Bureau to be 6,801,400,000. If you look at this from a perfectly mathematical point of view, approximately every 9% of the population speaks one language and the population as a whole speaks has over billions of words to speak and names to call. With such a high language range, how well do we really communicate?

If you try to examine the effect of a word or label on the actions of a human being, could you see if the action caused the word or did the word cause the action? Take two examples:
1. Eric is an Ex-Convict; he acts like one.
2. Sara got a new Louis Vuitton purse that her roommate loved, and eventually stole.

After an evolution of what is apparently almost 2 million years of existence, language has come a long way and its still going futher with minor introductions like Jubrish. It may have even gone further than apprehended. With many new names and verbs being introduced, a person may lose snese of the what he or she knows.

NOTE: THE DEFINITION OF DORK
1. Slang A stupid, inept, or foolish person:
2. Vulgar Slang The penis.
3. Penis of a whale.
