What I Love...

2014-12-26T13:23:00.001-08:00

I love creating things. I love being able to think up solutions.

I love the way music makes me feel. I love the way a movie stirs me up.

I love being able to give back to these fields in whatever way I can.

I love making people fall in love with music, movies and stories.

Don't know if I love people as much, or if it means I do.

Don't know if I love anyone or maybe I do.

I just know that I love feeling alive.

Music and movies do that to me. You'll find me smiling from the heart with them.

Babies do that to me. You'll find me teary eyed with joy for them.

Animals do that to me. I go weak in the knees for them.

I think 'people' help balance this dose in my life of feeling innately happy with a sprinkling of trying and sad times.

After all, happiness without moments of pain is monotonous and boring. For that then I'm truly blessed with the best of people and continue to find more of them on my journey.

I know one thing's for sure.

I love my life.

Wishing everyone who reads this a wonderful life.

Make it a good one folks!

They ask the hard questions, challenging others and themselves to find new logical approaches. INTPs are mainly interested in ideas and have little liking for small talk.

They value autonomy, home, family and health.

The first person to ever get rid of is yourself. Get rid of the side of you that you hate. Focus on the side that you love. Only then will you truly shine.

Law of Attraction:
My news feed shows stuff about Nexus 6.
I read an article about how Nolan wanted to make a Batman film akin to Blade Runner.
Now get this. For months my good friend has been pestering me to watch this film.
And I finally decide to watch it now and lo and behold a concept called Nexus 6 in the movie.

People my age are busy with whatever social obligations they have. Me, I'm just wondering whether I should marry a cat or a dog or both. Who needs intimacy after all.

Quotes

Quotes

Man I have missed my life. Miss my movies and my info tripping. Miss learning new ways to be creative thru tutorials, Miss my writing, Miss my bikes. Miss my music. Miss my guitar. Miss my loved ones. Miss my dumbbells. Miss my full head of hair, it's gotten worse this last month. (gulfies will agree here) And that too I'm never the one to get homesick. I know now how I can make the next time even more fruitful. Transitions in life can get taxing sometimes. But I thank my stars for my loving parents, my awesome Uncle and Aunt, my cute cousin Chereze, my bro Jude, Shirley, Reena, Zubin, Merwin, Ajay, Ameesha,Rinel, Janice, Annabelle, Savio, Enrique and Ryan. Couldn't have done it without y'all. Some of u know that I had some mental health threatening moments. I thank you for keeping me sane by being there for me. Means a hell lot. Most of all a big big thanku to the newest person in my life. U make everything go away at just the sight of u. Tons of hugs and kisses to ya sweetie. God bless y'all always.

Basic Psychology should be a subject in school. At least we'd learn to understand people better.

Quotes

2014-10-18T17:11:00.001-07:00

The flaw with the Adam-Eve school is that it makes me think someone to whom time doesn't exist as we know it is simply waiting for us to bring doom upon ourselves. I mean when inventing technologies, couldn't you have told us that many will be major causes for exhaustion of our natural resources? And you could have at least knocked some trading sense into the guy who invented money. But I guess that school was founded by a sadist or worse still we are living an illusion.

Quotes

Conflict is the price you pay when you swim against the tides. Compromise is the price you pay otherwise. But both ways can make you happy.

Quotes

The worst temptation a human can have is to kill himself. It simply takes the cake. Then shoves it down the toilet and splatters it on the faces of his world with their hands tied so they can never clean it.
