And fortunately that&#39;s a good thing because it means so many things going on with much intensity too: I&#39;m now more active on Deviant Art. Since my first join date I&#39;ve won many contests &amp;amp; prizes, &lt;i&gt;har harrrr...!!&lt;/i&gt; And I&#39;m sometimes notorious too, you&#39;ll find me if you know the right keywords, can&#39;t miss it.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Very grateful with how things progressing in my life. Hopefully this year I&#39;ll win more contests BEYOND Deviant Art with larger (as in LARGE CASH) prizes. And of course the &lt;b&gt;FREEDOM &amp;amp; POWER&lt;/b&gt; beyond this too!</description><link>http://marzipan-cafe.blogspot.com/2017/01/le-roarrr-1.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Adrian)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979518526130289582.post-1240135155642145384</guid><pubDate>Wed, 16 Nov 2016 16:01:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2016-11-16T23:01:15.921+07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Ladies &amp; Gentlemen!</category><title>Miss Me?

Things can&#39;t be crazier than this! We had lots of fun!! &lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/o/omg.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/boogie.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/love2.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But.. too bad my time with him was cut off by a murder happened on the ship! Now I must assist some law enforcement officers interrogating people [suspects? witnesses?] as an journalist or detective [or was it just as an interpreter?]. And despite my initial secret excitement it eventually induced a darn lot of anxiety its enjoyment dropped to zero!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think now I know what it means by &lt;i&gt;&quot;I&#39;m married to my work&quot;&lt;/i&gt; - WHA..?? &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;NOOO..!!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

LOL LOL LOL despite my obsession and all, I still am absolutely &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;clueless&lt;/span&gt; about thing called &#39;relationship&#39;. And no, in real life I&#39;m not a foot-work investigator of any kind.. although I might try something in that line later when I&#39;m bored.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I want to see their SAD face&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#39;s my curiosity for paradoxes&lt;br /&gt;
What&#39;s behind those smiles &amp;amp; laughs&lt;br /&gt;
Sadness, anxieties, personal problems&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Oooh&lt;/i&gt;.. how I expect to hear it all!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But whoa I realized something now&lt;br /&gt;
Despite I do want to see their dark (HIDDEN) side&lt;br /&gt;
In real life I&#39;m far too sensitive&lt;br /&gt;
To get to know anyone&#39;s life mess &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Afraid to get involved, afraid they gonna suck me in&lt;br /&gt;
Afraid they gonna ask me for help I can&#39;t give&lt;br /&gt;
Heck I&#39;m even afraid they&#39;d ask me for advice &lt;br /&gt;
For although I&#39;m an in depth person&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;m not a vent buddy&lt;br /&gt;
I only consult others when I want in the way I want&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yet I think my irony is understandable&lt;br /&gt;
For eventually observing darkness is much different&lt;br /&gt;
Than getting to know it personally - you&#39;re not involved&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And so the curious case scrapbook is born&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0kwx3ZZxK5WW6JvUqvl0_kmPYPvN1V159bJSX4RSPNhMVv3zdVcSGtLf8sav1QJtAl_jHjKTEx21oCrr0tpJezZy4UY83Vf0rDoM_jI9Ob3FaaCcZ_t8AUKixc4H955CLXzFpRNs4D-Bw/s1600/22157+5%2525.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Talking about sad clowns, I remember a cheerful-personality friend in high school with ironically a bunch of problems from health, family &amp;amp; money - I wont mention the details because even writing about them would make me overwhelmed! But suffice to say at one point she didn&#39;t even know if she and her family could eat the next day and yet she&#39;s still got that &#39;positive&#39; attitude as if that didn&#39;t really matter. I got to help her once giving her a sum of money, so did a few other classmates as I recall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After graduation I&#39;ve lost contact with her and to be honest I&#39;m not really interested to reconnect. I just hope she&#39;s fine, judging by how she managed back then I think she is now (although now that this topic is about comedy-tragedy, I wonder..). Oh, and she actually reminded me of a flatmate already moved out few months ago whom at one night I heard crying loudly in her room. Later I overheard (&lt;i&gt;errgh&lt;/i&gt; sensitive ears!) in addition to bf problem she&#39;s got family &amp;amp; money problems as well. And her face, figure, &amp;amp; personality were actually almost similar to that high school friend! I&#39;ve checked and no, she&#39;s not her. The names are different, the faces also not really the same. (What relieve actually, I want to stay strangers with everyone!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So what does this actually say about my hunts for paradoxes? Here I&#39;m also one: I wished for knowing things behind the scenes and here I am, having sensitive ears, catching all those things I was supposed to be curious about and regretted doing it! &lt;i&gt;Chat noir&lt;/i&gt; is confused.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/d/i/dizzy-plz.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No, I guess when it comes to a friend I can&#39;t really laugh about it. The problem is you can&#39;t predict whom or WHEN I&#39;d consider (others) as friends or as the ones to downright stomp on (le rivals) - or simply as interesting case study subjects, &lt;i&gt;mwahahahaaa..!!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://img06.deviantart.net/a6e4/i/2004/11/4/6/evil_laugh_emoticon.gif&quot; /&gt; Of course I&#39;d absolutely HATE being perceived as a study material but I don&#39;t do empathy in this (or many other?) case - but that&#39;s for another coming post!</description><link>http://marzipan-cafe.blogspot.com/2016/10/the-scholar-of-paradox-1.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Adrian)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/Rv-lBbWeaEo/default.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979518526130289582.post-1459988980351446381</guid><pubDate>Tue, 11 Oct 2016 18:05:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2016-10-12T09:14:16.012+07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Iconoclast&#39;s Pitchfork!</category><title>Le ARRR!! #2</title><description>&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;DRATS DRATS DRATS&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;DA FVCK&lt;/span&gt; IS THAT LOW LIFE OF A GIRL COULD COIN SUCH &lt;b&gt;OUTRAGEOUS THOUGHT UNDERVALUING HERSELF&lt;/b&gt; THAT LOW AND WHAT.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;BLEGH!!!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;ve become SO ALLERGIC to this self-incriminating ignorance by those BRAINLESS inferiors now I wonder if I need to stop lurking the forum altogether - although that doesn&#39;t guarantee the people outside that place are better because unless you&#39;ve mastered intuition like a trained mind reader you can&#39;t really know what&#39;s going on in their heads.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;DEAR GOD PROTECTOR OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;DELIVER ME FROM WOMEN WHO DON&#39;T APPRECIATE THEMSELVES, &lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;NEVER LISTEN TO THEIR SENSE OF DIGNITY, MAKING JOKE OF THINGS SHOULD NOT BE LAUGHED IN THE SLIGHTEST, THROWING AWAY THEIR SELF-WORTH TO A PACK OF HYENAS!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;AND DOUCHES OF MEN WHO WOULD INEVITABLE PREY ON THEM!!!!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #660000;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I WANT &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;NOTHING&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt; TO DO WITH ANY OF THEM&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Inferiority might be more possible to heal but ignorance is just &lt;b&gt;#@$%;^&amp;amp;#&amp;amp;*#!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

How I would love to reply badly:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;WHERE&#39;S THAT IGNORAMUS OF A PROFESSOR OF YOURS??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I&#39;LL &lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc0000;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc0000;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;NOM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; HIM FOR YOU!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/i/k/ikilleditplz.png?1&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;IN FACT I&#39;LL NOM EVERYONE PUTTING ANY &lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;SILLY ARBITRARY AWFUL PLAIN RIDICULOUS EWWWW SOCIAL&lt;/span&gt; EXPECTATIONS ON YOU!!!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But I can&#39;t do that. I&#39;ve decided not to return to that forum for good. And guess what, while I might be taking the above poster&#39;s side, doesn&#39;t mean I would do the same with other posters with the same issue. My concern is &#39;costumed&#39; per individual. Besides, I do JUDGE others, I put expectations on others despite they could be not the same with those of what ignoramuses think. You can&#39;t really predict what my next step would be.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;I have no hesitation judging other judgers, PIRATE AGAINST OTHER PIRATES, IT&#39;S THE FREE OCEAN WAR ARRRRRR..!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
As a coin with no faces spun through the air.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Where are you? What are you doing?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Surrounded by so many lies,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
It&#39;s just so hard to keep on living.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
the Day you laugh, tell a rough lie lie lie,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
And give up - no, don’t say it, it&#39;s out of the question!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Even if my mind falls into disarray,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
I still just can&#39;t get enough!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
I guess this mean simply yelling won’t change a thing,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
So let&#39;s get moving - Come, take your weapons in hand!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
We were fighting just to &quot;sound the alarms&quot;;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
I just wanted to see you again, my beloved.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Our world without strife,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Was such a trivial thing -&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Who was it who said,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
We&#39;d be better off in conflict?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
the Day you laugh, tell a rough lie lie lie,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
And give up - no, don&#39;t say it, it’s out of the question!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Even if my mind falls into disarray,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
I still just can&#39;t get enough!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
I guess this means simply breaking things won&#39;t chance a thing;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
That&#39;s just struggling in futility – I can’t keep my eyes cast downward!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
There&#39;s no resistance whatsoever,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
But isn&#39;t that nice?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
We just want to become deserving of the light.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
We&#39;re living through this present day;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
We&#39;re existing, believing that that day will eventually come!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://orig03.deviantart.net/b13d/f/2016/213/e/3/_mononoke___fierceful__by_larienne-dac6ym0.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://orig03.deviantart.net/b13d/f/2016/213/e/3/_mononoke___fierceful__by_larienne-dac6ym0.png&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; width=&quot;526&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was wandering at some kind of underground tramway still under construction.. I asked around for a direction/a train route.. a young adult Chinese-like guy I felt I can trust for a while to direct me to the right train platform.. as he walked fast he also warned me about some lunatic man known to often lurk around this station, but his way of talking was like joking so I didn&#39;t take it seriously, until we saw the mad, ragged man going slowly towards us.. the Chinese guy put a funny face and gave me a hint to run (as he giggled funnily)! But I was too slow, blank due to not taking this guy seriously (and I know it&#39;s NOT my fault! - that &#39;comedian&#39; should&#39;ve known better than making light of dangerous situations!), the madman suddenly really chased us, I couldn&#39;t catch up with the Chinese guy and the ruffian caught my hand!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As I was almost paralyzed by fear, a tough girl nearby working on subway construction jumped and helped me getting rid of the freak! &lt;i&gt;Thaaaaaank God!!&lt;/i&gt; Somehow my mind was filled in with her story how she ended up here [but now I forgot it all], yet despite all her struggles she&#39;s still somewhat keeping up hope, &quot;There&#39;s always another way.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Changing scene..]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suddenly I found myself have become quite a close friend with the tough girl that somewhat reminds me of Princess Mononoke.. and myself. Anyway, we&#39;re now on a mission.. she&#39;s wearing feminine clothes: a plaid dress shirt, a long loose skirt, a hat.. all in vintage style, but those can&#39;t hide her inner &amp;amp; outer strength.. we must somehow board on a train but too late it&#39;s moving.. I was kind of giving up but then she suggested, &quot;No we&#39;re not losing it yet, see? We can jump on it!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And so by instinct I knew she&#39;s right and we could catch it on time.. we&#39;re running towards and jump to the train like a couple of master parkour buddies! XD A few more acrobatic moves and we&#39;re inside! I didn&#39;t think we&#39;ve got tickets for the train, we&#39;re in a hurry, but as long as I&#39;m with her I knew we&#39;ll manage this somehow..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[dream end]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
--------------------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Part of me glad I&#39;ve got someone with similar personality but other part  of me hates it entirely because then I&#39;m no longer unique!! &amp;gt;:( Now I see it&#39;s just a dream, I wonder if she&#39;s just another side of me.</description><link>http://marzipan-cafe.blogspot.com/2016/10/dream-journal-4-diamond-in-rough-friend.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Adrian)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979518526130289582.post-1970307985762759679</guid><pubDate>Thu, 22 Sep 2016 13:45:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2016-09-22T20:58:57.593+07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">The Stranger Saga</category><title>While you&#39;re jumping..</title><description>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

I got an insight I don&#39;t want it to be true..&lt;br /&gt;
But I sense a grain of treasure out of it..&lt;br /&gt;
Something that might solve a great deal of my puzzle parts..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So despite the truth is partial &lt;i&gt;(THANK GOODNESS!!)&lt;/i&gt; to the whole truth about the fluid reality&lt;br /&gt;
I decide to act on it, start moving the gears..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Thus it&#39;s time to (re)consider,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&quot;What is this place?&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Meeting high school friends.. we&#39;re older in age, grown up and all but still with more or less the same physical appearance.. at one point I met my (not so) secret admirer - a handsome one (but not my type) who had a crush on me back then, supported by the whole class (of which I was oblivious to it).. and now when we met face to face it&#39;s still coyly awkward.. the rest of the class was also still curious about my answer..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He even gave me LOTS of cactus loli - large single cactus plants on sticks - like almost a load of truck! XD Apparently he knew (most likely consulting his friends though) that I wouldn&#39;t do the ordinary, you know roses, huh!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So I decided to say it.. finally I gave the answer to W****, &lt;i&gt;ahahahaa..!!&lt;/i&gt; But the answer is &quot;No&quot;, with the reasons according to my current self: I&#39;ve got my obsession No. 1 (and 2). Glad for the appreciation, but.. no. Thanks, but sorry no.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Who doesn&#39;t like a dream when some above-average fish has a crush on you?&lt;br /&gt;
But I hope next time (better, in real life) I&#39;ll get the one I really can say &quot;Yes&quot; to. ;D</description><link>http://marzipan-cafe.blogspot.com/2016/09/dream-journal-3-high-school-romance.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Adrian)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979518526130289582.post-6410608317898335905</guid><pubDate>Thu, 22 Sep 2016 03:10:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2016-09-22T10:10:55.025+07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Iconoclast&#39;s Pitchfork!</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Thought Snippets</category><title>Always do things from the heart, they say..</title><description>Perhaps that&#39;s why &lt;a href=&quot;http://marzipan-cafe.blogspot.co.id/search/label/Consulting%20Philosopher&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;my answers&lt;/a&gt; were considered &#39;best&#39; by some askers, because I did answer them from the heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But like love, HATRED comes also from the heart and in MANY situations it&#39;s &lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc0000;&quot;&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt; allowed to express itself..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And being a highly sensitive person I don&#39;t like it when I can&#39;t express either love or hate (maybe ESPECIALLY hatred!) spontaneously in any given circumstances. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;DON&#39;T LIKE IT. &lt;span style=&quot;color: #660000;&quot;&gt;AT ALL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVB5kTN6MU_lAwEWqHBktd4CqgrSsKhr4kas-nobN_aNG056UKrkfDdGTMIolMneQU79sz3dCUDbGox4bGE8E93CCwrR88MMD8Ojbh-zQjaoH2htHtfm3RKoYtnOOBhrMqysdlF8M7IwvG/s1600/ariadne.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVB5kTN6MU_lAwEWqHBktd4CqgrSsKhr4kas-nobN_aNG056UKrkfDdGTMIolMneQU79sz3dCUDbGox4bGE8E93CCwrR88MMD8Ojbh-zQjaoH2htHtfm3RKoYtnOOBhrMqysdlF8M7IwvG/s1600/ariadne.jpg&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; width=&quot;271&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So I was a university student or so.. I met an eccentric woman (most likely a lecturer I&#39;d be consulting with about papers etc), old but still somewhat attractive because of her intelligence, quirkiness, almost childlike demeanor but subtle &amp;amp; sophisticated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Somehow at some point I was watching her life experience: adventure on train tracks (solving a case? finishing a project?), outwitting an evil Haddock threatening her life - like, a check mate! Ha! Epic WIN!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[And at some point in the dream I felt like I was actually her..!]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[dream end]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
--------------------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The truth is in real life despite being a thinking person I DON&#39;T do academia. But still this is a nice pleasant dream of sur&lt;i&gt;THRIVAL&lt;/i&gt; (WIN!!) so I&#39;ll take it as a good sign.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://ssd.umich.edu/files/ssd/field/image/French%20Class%20by%20NazarethCollege.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://ssd.umich.edu/files/ssd/field/image/French%20Class%20by%20NazarethCollege.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Back in high school when I was somewhat a popular maverick (right now I achieve to be maverick-maverick, &lt;i&gt;ARRR..!!&lt;/i&gt;), a pretty, intelligent dork with a solid principle of integrity - which means I DON&#39;T. CHEAT. EVER. And still being able to make friends, helping them doing homework by teaching the how, not doing it for them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So it was apparently a French lesson, a test.. only 5 questions but turned out it&#39;s quite hard even for me. I didn&#39;t study much.. I could only expect 6-7,5/10 point.. but I was feeling playful, there&#39;s something in the 5th question about &quot;du lait&quot; [either it&#39;s part of the question or my answer].. whichever that was I was pretty sure the teacher would appreciate my humorous answer and I&#39;d get 8/10! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://yoursmiles.org/tsmile/black/t1614.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile &lt;i&gt;as usual&lt;/i&gt; once the teacher left for a while 99% of my peers were cheating at each other, even dared to either ask me or offering me answers!! (Secretly I felt being stabbed &amp;amp; feeling like killing them but &lt;i&gt;as usual&lt;/i&gt; because of my sensitivity not really wanting to stomp dead others I tried to be polite and refuse all their attempts!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short time we&#39;ve finished answering the test (with me being 100% honest &amp;amp; others cheating), only 1 minute less the teacher would return..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[dream end]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
--------------------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don&#39;t know why I dreamt this dream, quite curious. I&#39;m forever grateful for all the fun school experience in my life, perhaps this is a good sign! ..only in my current self I&#39;d stay way-away as possible from any complicated friendship!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

Here are some of them. (Oh yeah I love to read my own crafted words! :D)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border-top: 2px dotted rgb(67, 0, 0); margin-top: 1em; padding-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20150529005510AA6NDHL&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;How do I escape this lie of a life?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;I feel like for my whole life I have never been genuinely happy. Of course I&#39;ve laughed and joked but at the end of the day I feel like that was all an attempt at being a &quot;normal&quot; person. An act to hide the apathetic person that I really am.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;I have everybody fooled, if you met me in real life you would think that I&#39;m a very happy guy, but behind the smile I feel like I&#39;m hopeless and it may be better to just end it now. It&#39;s not the first time that I&#39;ve had thoughts like this but it&#39;s the first time that I am seriously considering.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;I don&#39;t know if its a mental health problem of what but I&#39;m starting to think that I will never be able to experience genuine happiness in my pathetic life. Everything that I do and say in the real world feels like a lie And I&#39;m getting really tired of pretending.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;Sorry for the rant but I just feel like I need to tell someone the truth before it&#39;s to late. Does anyone have any idea what I should or could do?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;3 ANSWERS:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/ux7xpOw.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Best Answer:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp; It means you&#39;re still in survival mode (just like most of human being on this planet). The survival instinct is the first to function when we were born.. and it quickly sensed that in order to survive, we must adapt, FIT IN to social rules &amp;amp; expectations. We learned to act (as in &quot;actor/actress&quot;) on what&#39;s acceptable &amp;amp; what&#39;s not. Nothing wrong with survival instinct as it&#39;s an intelligence on its own, but later in life we found some behavioral pathways don&#39;t serve us any longer, feel so FAKE to who we really are. At that moment, it&#39;s time to take over the steering control, turn off the autopilot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now how to do that, you asked. From my experience, I only know courage as the answer. You have to dare yourself to change, start revealing the real you openly and endure the consequences - whatever your environment (family, friends, workplace etc) perceive. You stop reacting/behaving the usual way everyone expect you to will cause a stir, big or small.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes this could be a big bang. You get out of your cocoon that&#39;s been protecting you for so long, you will come out an entirely different being (which is actually the real you), don&#39;t expect your life would be the same. Some would be disappointed, hate it, or love it.. but what matters is it&#39;s so much liberating!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I could go on forever on this but that&#39;s it for now, and in the end it&#39;s up to your decision: there is a price for freedom, but believe me it&#39;s worth it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Good luck.&lt;br /&gt;

And to think you only have till your 70 or 90 to fine out where you fit in this world.....So many hide themselves in drugs or drink letting it be their guild in life.....not knowing and understanding they are but children looking out the window wanting to go out and play but the chains of life around their ankles place there by lies, love, anger, and the strongest is fear will not let them....My answer is to do as Jesus said, &quot;Seek, knock and ask&quot; and those chains will fall off and instead of pitting yourself for nothing.... you will live with the understanding you are just passing through and life becomes to have so much love in it that your heart will and cannot hold it all and bubbles up and out and on and you can see clearly for the darkness that you were living in...will have so much light in it that as you go to sleep at night you will be saying, (I think I&#39;ll let you answer that for yourself if you understand the words the Lord gave me)&lt;br /&gt;

Sorry William I appreciate your answer but I don&#39;t understand What do you mean by seek knock and ask?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don&#39;t understand you are saying that we are passing through, than why are we not be allowed to take a shortcut?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And where would one look for light in this life if all they know is darkness??&lt;br /&gt;

Here are some of them. (Oh yeah I love to read my own crafted words! :D)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border-top: 2px dotted rgb(67, 0, 0); margin-top: 1em; padding-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;When i post a question on here, multiple times people answer saying the same thing, i don&#39;t understand the problem essentially is the response. My problem is that my life at the moment consist of, waking up, washing dishes at a restaurant for half the day, working out and then going to bed, that&#39;s my life for the summer until college starts again. I&#39;m a senior and i don&#39;t have confidence that my degree will get me a better job, i endure this pitiful excuse for an existence because i feel that it is temporary, but what if it&#39;s not, i refuse to life out my days like this, alone, hating what i do with half my day, exercises because i need to let out my energy, yet society seems to think that this is normal, maybe it is, but i&#39;m not okay with it at all and don&#39;t know how to change it&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;5 ANSWERS:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Best Answer:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp; Yes, mostly society takes things for granted (the &#39;normal&#39; stuff, ugh!).. or you&#39;re simply fed up doing the same routines. Or maybe you&#39;ve got other underlying, indescribable dissatisfaction. Now you&#39;re aware of it? Congratulations. You&#39;re called to get out of prison. So what to do? The answer is not &quot;out there&quot; but &quot;in here&quot; - in you. This one cannot be solved by ordinary thinking so stop forcing your brain. Try to be in the moment as often as possible, and watch insights unfold.. &lt;br /&gt;

You must first make that leap of faith. After, you might fail so many times but you will get your bearing and be able to stand up. No matter what you choose or decide upon, always consider this...All Successful People have so much failure in Life, yet they remain acting in a Certain Way. You have to Act in a Certain Way to retain the drive to excel. Not talking about success, just the drive to Excel. Because Success should not be a target as it is the natural reward after Excellence. Many people view success as the Purchasing Power to buy that luxurious car, having that fancy house and everything. But such luxury will loose their luster because the Excellence is not there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Excellence should be what makes you Satisfied, to be comfortable in saying &quot;I have done good&quot;. I may not be Contented with what I get from my endeavor but I am Satisfied with what it gives me to live comfortably by. You may not be the next Bill Gates or Donald Trump, but you will be the better version of your own Divine Self. The moment you reflect your worth with those you are envious about, you will self pity and be sad that you are a helpless Dishwasher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Change the way you think. Not happy with your job, then do something about it. The mind triggers you to think because you are reflecting discontent, and by being so is also asking what would you like to do? Want to have another job, decide. Want another opportunity, seek it. The Mind that perceives the limitation, is the Limitation. If you feel that you have not excelled, then carry on in finding such excellence, but do not search it to find happiness as a reason.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Happiness is a choice. No choice is a Choice. Everything and anything that your heart desire to achieve within the parameters of your Life Path are all with you. You just have to own it, and be grateful about it even in those low times when you seem can have both ends meet. Challenges is what push you, don&#39;t sulk, don&#39;t stagnate, move and move on. Make your existence not just about Philosophy, about Satisfaction... but more so about making it to mean something to you and all those lives you touch even if they wouldn&#39;t stop to say thank you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You wash Dishes, big deal...that is a very noble job. If you see that every dish you wash is the kindness that you extend to those who have no arms to do so themselves...won&#39;t you be glad to have wash dishes for them? If all the paying customers, can&#39;t eat with clean dishes...how else can they dine? With Banana Leaves? Love what you do,not just do what you Love. And above what you have done, love the goodness of your deed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By staying positive, you allow the Universe to work with you, not against It. Be the obedient Student and a grateful Master, for all your worth is not without cause, you cannot harvest what you have not planted, neither hope for the bounty while there is nothing to bear fruits yet. Be patient and always kind. You cannot hide from what they know about you. They are always ahead of you.&lt;br /&gt;

If you think your degree is not going to give you a better job, then no point pursuing your degree. Use your money to take a short course or training in other things like gym instructor course and earn more money by being a fitness instructor.. There are many job out there that don&#39;t require a degree.. You wan&#39;t to change, then do something challenging, if it doesn&#39;t challenge you, it doesn&#39;t change you...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Best Answer:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp; Pretty much about inner child/innocence or a hope for peaceful environment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now my personality reading about you (just for fun, don&#39;t take it seriously):&lt;br /&gt;
You&#39;re a simple &amp;amp; conservative person, feminine, a feeling type (compared to thinking &amp;amp; instinctual type).&lt;br /&gt;
Value relationship but introverted. You&#39;ve got this dream/hope of &quot;happy happily ever after in the end&quot; about things/situation. There&#39;s a hint of inferiority feeling too.&lt;br /&gt;
But then, you&#39;re still very young (aged 12-15?). Lots of things can change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now how much of the above is true? ;)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;3 ANSWERS:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/ux7xpOw.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Best Answer:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp; In my own experience:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. The &#39;voice&#39; sounds neutral. Not rushing, not judging. Like simple facts (ex: &quot;water boils at 100 degree celcius&quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. On the other hand it can also be compassionate, makes you feel genuinely good about yourself. But not an ordinary emotion of feeling good, it&#39;s more like a sense of relieved &amp;amp; being sincerely forgiven.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. If it&#39;s about dangerous situation it could be pushing/rushing you to take action but it&#39;s devoid of anxiety. Because it&#39;s not originated from the mind/memory/your judgement about things and the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;RUN. GET OUT. GET OUTTA HERE.&quot; (no &quot;!&quot;) Could be loud &amp;amp; pushing but not judging things as &#39;bad&#39;, &#39;ugly&#39;, etc.. if you know what I mean. It&#39;s just &quot;something is out of place&quot;... and you need to do something about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;There&#39;s something strange about this person&quot; (ex: despite he&#39;s being friendly), &quot;Something is not right in this place,&quot; &quot;This letter feels strange..&quot; I bet we all have met this situation sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. May feel like comes out of nowhere. You&#39;re aware that you have no memory at all in your subconscious mind that could lead to this &#39;voice&#39;/answer. But it could also be from &#39;creative connecting&#39; process of the subconscious, like intuition of experienced experts (2 different kinds of intuition in this case).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Can also contradict everything you&#39;ve ever known. Or what you see about something on the surface. So yes, following intuition sometimes needs COURAGE.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I also found that intuition doesn&#39;t care about your current lack of resources, the fears that you have - about how &#39;impossible&#39; it is to act on the answer. That&#39;s why following intuition needs courage and mastery in other &#39;life skills&#39;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But how then to get the mastery (ex: releasing fear, dealing with change, how to get the resources I need, etc)? I would ask my intuition again for that! X-)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That&#39;s all I know. Still exercising listening &amp;amp; following mine too.&lt;br /&gt;

Prince Adrian&#39;s answer is absolutely terrific! Take heed. The only thing I can add is that intuition usually comes when we are not thinking about the topic.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;This world &lt;b&gt;HURTS&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How could they? HOW COULD THEY be, how could even&lt;i&gt; there&lt;/i&gt; be such slimy monsters? Even &lt;i&gt;more&lt;/i&gt; disturbing, how could the other ones make those monsters &amp;amp; their values &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;ACCEPTABLE&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;??! Actually &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;ADAPTING&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;them&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;??!? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What madness, MAD universe. What&#39;s called as common sense has gradually changed, mostly for what I think, strongly feel &amp;amp; intuit, the worse. CURSE this adapting, chameleon-like society! And how DARE you all planting these &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc0000;&quot;&gt;PARASITES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to my psyche??!?!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is not just about individuals. What I sense &amp;amp; deeply detest is the &lt;i&gt;COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS&lt;/i&gt;. And not just about the country I&#39;m living in, but the whole planet. It&#39;s rotting away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And I don&#39;t want to go down the hell with them, &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;NO&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt; sir.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;m gonna stay here, standing alone, trusting my inner compass only. Listening only to everything originated from within: the soul, the instincts, intuition, every emotions and even impulses. Anything except the outer world&#39;s hurtful-unspoken-slickly-penetrating doctrines!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I guess that&#39;s why it&#39;s so hard to simply be me. Layers and layers of protection, the ego&#39;s work, really, can&#39;t be blamed. There&#39;s already lots of pollution out there, can&#39;t let the innermost of me corrupted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My cynic/pessimistic side muses, &quot;Is this existence just god&#39;s sick joke?&quot; But my Joker Card side, the somewhat more enlightened one, thinks of this from another side of the coin: a &#39;joke&#39; that&#39;s meant to enjoy a.k.a GAME.. which means, those imperfections of this world are &lt;i&gt;challenges.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No, no, NO. Don&#39;t interpret this &#39;challenge&#39; word from the common western&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;perspective which they&#39;ve used to brainwash the rest of the world (SUCCESS : failure : money : fame : house : car : vacation : perfect family : marketing : selling : promotion : JOB : CAREER : and other dry materialistic toys)!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
GAME, as in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sherlockholmes-thegame.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;Sherlock Holmes: Crimes &amp;amp; Punishments&quot;&lt;/a&gt;. Challenge, as in &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherlock_Holmes:_Crimes_%26_Punishments&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Solving  six cases of murders, disappearances and thefts&lt;/a&gt;. Depending on how player interprets the clues, they will have different 
conclusions. Therefore the player can fail or succeed in finding the 
culprit. He also decides whether he wants to absolve or condemn the 
criminal. The moral choice the player makes will influence the further 
gameplay.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Challenges are &lt;b&gt;cool&lt;/b&gt; missions, filled with adventures &amp;amp; excitements. With deep sense of &lt;b&gt;FREEDOM&lt;/b&gt; as its &#39;basic operating system&#39;.&lt;br /&gt;
Now how about GAME, as in &quot;My Life&quot;. Challenge, as in &quot;being me, being true to my values despite the world going loony&quot;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hhhh..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Surely I want something with much more sunshine than just this game of &quot;soul survival&quot;. Games are always meant to be ENJOYED after all, aren&#39;t they?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
