Reality Bites....

Before i get busy with my finals and shit, i felt like writing. let's see how long it goes. I was working last night driving down with my newly written CD, and one of the songs were by Blind Melon, No Rain. Suddenly it struck me... this song will soon be considered as an oldie. Wouldn't it be weird, one day, as you're sitting down in your car, driving off to work after dropping your 2nd kid off at school and thinking about your eldest kid at boarding school, when suddenly Hitz.FM played Nirvana "Where did you sleep last nite" and continuing with Usher "My Boo" later on with the DJ of the segment introducing it as "I love to 90's hour". By then you were already humming and singing to the song. Only to figure out... back then when you were in high school/college that was what you know was a cool song to listen to, while the teens of that days, start squirming to get out of the room as you talk about the singers or listen to their song. by then probably the men would start having their belly hanging above their belts and smoking a cig saying "Damn... i remember that song." or the women probably start having wider hips and saying to their kids, "Haaa jgn tukar station tuh, mak nak dengar... giler cool". Ntah2, the term "giler" or "cool" is not even the word your kids are using and they'll start saying "tolong laa jgn guna perkataan tuh in front of my friends mom". as hard as it may grasp, probably the only thing you could change of this fact of reality is, your physical, if you work out, and take care of what you eat, you'd probably end up fit, but still having to know that the songs you listen to is not cool anymore. reality bites....

Writing....

Well some of my writings are kind of expressive, a lot hate, but i consider writing as a part of art, opinion, expression, and how the writer perceives the world as the way they see it. I have read hate writings, mushy writings, irritating writings, but its their expression, i may mock some of them, but what i think doesnt really matter, its what the writers think matters. they should not be influenced by comments or critics from other writers. it isnt consider wuss, a coward, but more to how they perceive about your writing. Its like Sun Tzu's Art of War, (i havent read it yet, just an example), a million people have their comments on it, some agree, some think its stupid, does Sun Tzu gives a Fuck? well aside from the fact that he's dead, he probably doesn't. because those a million people still read his book. another example, Mario Puzo wrote the Godfather that lead to the movie, some people loved it, some people doesnt. does he give a fuck if people hated it? no, because people who hated it still read his book, and plus... he made millions of money out of it. shit, wished i had a dollar for every visit here.... damn it...

Finals....

Anyway, finals is pretty close, (i felt like using "just around the corner" but it sounds cliche and probably high school kids who's taking PMR probably uses it), so good luck to all, and insya allah good luck to me.
