lately, it takes a lot of effort from me to churn out a new blog entry. with twitter and the facebook wall, posting my thoughts is as simple as typing 140 characters. it makes sense though, cause I'm not a huge fan of reading... seriously, I haven't finished a single novel... ever. I start with the first few chapters, then I... really don't know what happens in my head. but yeah, tweeting is good, wall posts are good, I get to see what people think of, not give a fuck, and move to the next person whom I don't give a fuck either. but hey, at least I am able to read what you think of... unlike if you wrote a blog entry, there is a great chance that if you're not Lourd De Veyra or some national award winning writer, I won't be reading it.
I expect people to do the same though, I've always held unto the belief of "do unto others what you want others to do unto you". not that I'm saying that I want people to not read and care about what I think, but what I'm saying is that if I'm an ass, then it's perfectly fine with me if people are like that to me as well. I am all for equality and fairness.
but then again, the world isn't fair. nevertheless, I'd still like to make the world a better place by making it fair for everyone. I push you around and be a bully, and I equally give you the same opportunities to push me around. sound deal, right? I ruin something important for you, and I'm fine with you ruining something important from me... but then again, I'm an ass so I won't let you get to it easily.
being an ass also means being honest. lying is good when it works, but most of the time, I like being honest. I won't spend more than I usually do on shoe polish and put my best foot forward. yes, I will put my best foot forward when the situation calls for it, but I will do it in the most convenient way. though I tend to present my sucky me most of the time and reserve my good side to those who deserve it.
how the hell did I go from twitter to putting my best foot forward? ah well... it's a blog.

on being happy
I am in a state of... great fulfillment.
my expensive ass headphones is blaring the best music I've heard in a while.
no, I am not drunk, nor am I high... no controlled or illegal chemicals are in my body.
on the contrary, I just had dinner... and that's it.
Stardust's Music Sounds Better With You is as beautiful as the time when I was drunk during new year, but this time, I can feel my face and hands.bass thumping, bass booming... treble's tickling but not sibilant... the clarity of it all without having sharp edges. it's all... beautiful.
Broken Social Scene's Pacific Theme transports me into the most picturesque shoreline, despite not having any lyrics at all, every beat of the drum, every hit of the tambourine, every pluck and strum of the guitar, every bassline, every note on the synthesizer... it all speaks to me, of beauty and happiness.
I am zen
and then oh, the brass section starts to do their thing. trombones fascinate me, and when they play in harmonies it's all... beautiful.
Animal Collective's Fireworks play... it's my new year's song, but at anytime of the year, it's absurdities and percussion puts me in a trance, admittedly, I feel that I look stupid on the train when this song plays. but when the beating of the drums drive the song, you can't help but be carried away by the beat. every hit of the snare is accurate and crisp, every bang of the toms is boomy but remains in its own frequency... despite how weird it can be, it's all, okay... I am weird.
but it remains, like all... beautiful.
Kevin Drew's Aging Faces/Losing Places... it's one of those songs which remind me of the girl I like. it's needless to say that it's all... beautiful.
can I ask for anything more?
I don't know.
what I do know, however, are my limitations... I am well aware that happiness ends at a certain point. if tomorrow I'll be way wayyyy down, then so be it. that has always been the way I've gone through life... being zen about it. when life gives you cake, take it. when life gives you turd, take it. in everything there is inherent goodness because it's all... beautiful.
