Paradox of Our Time.
thursday morning came across something really interesting so here it is.. meanwhile, the doctor has no clue how i can have a series of high fevers without any signs of flu, inflammation or one of those that you'll associate with having a fever..
--
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways , but narrower viewpoints.
We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.
Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

the willing.
we are the willing
led by the unknowing
doing the impossible for the ungrateful
we have now done so much for so long
for so many with so little
we can now do anything with nothing

annoyance.
monday evening i realize a lot of people have no sense of urgency, no clear and keen mind for planning/foresight and to generalize a bit, quite inconsiderate.
or maybe it's just me. i'm impatient and like to know what is going on. getting things done quick and well done.
fucking annoyed these days with the insensitivities (if there's even such a word) of people. and oh, damn cliques of friends. it's overrated.

moody.
sunday morning i've always felt that having so little friends is a good thing. quality over quantity any time. yet there are times where i wish that i had more friends but what the heck. i think to a certain extent i'm meant to be a reclusive lonely person aiming to make his mark in the world.
sucks to be me.
sucks to be me.

the break.
tuesday morning spent the labor day break getting a few things sorted out. went to see an orthopedic specialist about the knee and i've been given good news - i do not need an operation. so that's one problem resolved.
met up with a fair bit of people and it was great. to be able to get away from the hassle of school work for 3 days or so really helped. it's back to the mad rush of assignments, external commitments and so on.
the semester is turning out to be more choppy than i would have expected but i guess i can't run away from it considering i jumped straight into 2nd year. at times i wonder if the 1 year exemption is really a good or bad thing for me. the good thing is, mid-term break is round the corner and unlike the second semester, it's not 10 straight weeks of hell, 2 weeks break, 3 more weeks of lessons and then exams. recovery time sure is important.
on the sporting front, i've yet to continue floorball for various reasons. i was heavily involved in IB, joined hockey for a while before the injury. so i guess it's back to recovery runs and getting myself back to fitness. might join volleyball for the hell of it next semester and of course there's touch football and road relay to look forward to. the sad thing is, i haven't been able to continue my krav maga lessons.
so yeah. so far so good despite the very tough start. i wonder how is it i still manage to hang on after all the things that have been happening and is still happening. it's mentally draining and the cracks are starting to show. my temper's becoming increasingly shorter and i'm eternally greatful to the friends who have accomodated my nonsense and been understanding thus far. i just hope that the wave of trouble passes me by soon. it's hard to put on a smile under such circumstances and i hate it.
