....It's The Lil' Things That Make Life Sweet....

Tuesday, January 09, 2007

This will be incredibly random. I have to something to confess. I stalk people's blogs and their friendster accounts. Yes I know. I should get a life or get involved in a hobby. But as pathetic as it sounds I just realised why I do it. Why so many people do. And I KNOW for a fact that ALOT of people stalk blogs and friendster accounts too. It's just that I have the balls to state it. Heh. Balls. Whoops.

Anyway back to what I just realised. Blogs and friendster accounts are honest. There's no facade. Yes there may be countless of poser pictures but it's all real. There's no shame. There's no holding back. And you get to see personality without having to go through the hassle of an introduction and sing along to Anna and the King's "Getting to know you" song.

We all put on a mask when we're out there. It's either a mask or a remote control. I know I do. When I first meet someone I know I hold back. It's impossible to expect anyone to reveal their entire self in just a moment's introduction. It's our defensive side. We feel the need to protect ourselves. The world is so complicated. There's the need to conform or else you're out. Human beings are judgemental creatures by nature. The fact is everybody judges. And though we know it, as wrong as it is, we still can help but do it.

When people see me, I may come off as perky and happy or quiet and pleasant. But what really lies beneath, no one knows. Unless you read my blog, you would not know that I've been through the roughest time of my life, you would not know that I've cried till my eyes are puffy. Heck you would not even think that I have a sensible mind. But I do. It's just that I don't show it. And this applies to everyone.

That is why I hate introductions. The intention to make more friends may be good but I just feel fake. I do feel that it's a waste of time making small talk and all when there's so much more to human interaction. I think if we are all given the chance and courage to strip ourselves off our mask, there will be no such things as cliques.

The truth is when it comes to pain and hurt, EVERYONE can relate. Because everyone has experienced pain and hurt in one way or the other. Pain and hurt are the most honest emotions ever. Even more so than happiness. Happiness can be put on. But pain, sadness, it's all real. Down to the bone.

"Strangers are friends you have yet to meet". True to a certain extent. If it was an equation, all things will have to remain constant for it to work. But in this world, nothing is constant. Our trust in our own human kind isn't constant. We doubt too much. It's a sad sad thing really.

So yeah. Stalk blogs and friendster accounts. They depict our real human self.

On another random note. I went jogging today at the park behind my house. YES! There is a park behind my house. With a LAKE. Yeahhhhhh. Uh huh. It's so friggin' cool I tell you.

I am also working for an online magazine. I'm writing articles. Haven't got paid yet and will not get paid a lot but money is money. The dateline is on the same day my assignment is due. Die-ness.

Pictures won't be up yet cos I haven't got them all and I'm beginning to get lazy. The connection ain't great yet.

TheEnd.
