What You See Ain't Always What You Get

Thoughts and Quotes:

"How can something seem so close yet not within reach?"
As I was looking at the stars and the moon.

"Can you really forgive a man for killing his own heart?"
As I was walking home in the middle of the night.

"The phone keeps ringing, but no one is on the other side"
Stupid telemarketers

I realize I need to start finding friends that are single. Everyone I normally hang out with is in a relationship.

Cynicism

"Please do not be cynical. I hate cynicism. It's my least favorite quality. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."

-Conan O'Brien

After watching the final episode of The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien, he just seem like the most genuine fellow on television. Despite his cynical demeanor he still believe in the most simple principle of hard work and being kind; something I've been told time and time again from professionals I've met. Watching him tearing up as he said his closing remarks just shows how much he cares for the work he does, it's a shame he was force to quit.

Here's to you Conan.

I Sold My Soul to the Devil for Half the Price

"I Sold My Soul to the Devil for Half the Price"

This line I repeated to myself all of last semester probably till April. I didn't know what it meant to me, but it meant a lot. It made me feel like I shouldn't care as much, me caring isn't considered as much. Just recently the last couple of days...I feel like it's coming back to me.

I always thought being indifferent was the right thing to do, but being indifferent meant not doing anything. I know I haven't sold or castaway anything, yet. But I find myself standing at this edge in my life again.

Maybe it isn't worth as much to begin with, but it's quite the bargain. This is just jargon.

The World at Large Seems so Small

I don't know if this quote exists, but this thought was what I was tinkering with all day.

I don't know why things come so well to me after a nice hot shower, but these were the lines I was playing with.

"The world seems so small, when you're able to see it at large." (or "as a whole"(?)).

I'm glad it came out the way it did.

Also, another quote I coined yesterday in class was,
"Never act upon something that has already been performed."

This one might need some tinkering as well.
