An outline on a canvas

~ I knew the pathway like the back of my hand.... 

Ever looked at a picture, and all you can think is : damn they look good together? Even if you are in the picture... Some pictures just say that, no matter what. These are things you cannot help... 

Well, that is just a random thought, and sorry, but I did promise to keep this a happy post, so no more somber thoughts. Just, no. But I haven't written for so long that writing a random happy event in my life just seems so... insubstantial. I mean, so what? And I think of all the dreams, all the happenings, all the stories; and they all just seem to personal to be put down in words. At least over here. 

And it feels like infringing on someone else's privacy to pen down the stories I have heard. And man, for some reason everyone around me has a happening, interesting life. Me? The most interesting thing that happened to me today was that I found out the presence of a Nasi Kandar store in a LORRY that is claimed to taste better than Pelita itself. And I say claimed because I only heard. I didn't actually try it out, see. 

Like I said, I lead an extremely interesting life -.-

But complaints aside, I guess it's up to me to make my life interesting, eh? Why should I wait for someone else to make it so? If it is true that we are a mere outline on a blank piece of paper, then I think we damn well make sure that by the time we die, the proverbial printer has to keep re-magnifying our paper, because an A4 sheet just won't do. 

Maybe I chose a sucky resolution. Keeping to a once-daily blogpost is hardly interesting if you refuse to share all the interesting parts of your life. And I'm keeping away from writing reviews, factual pieces and stuff like that, because frankly, to say I'm a lazy person is like saying.... Nutella is nice. The understatement of the year. But a word's a word, and I don't wanna screw up the rest of the months because March didn't go well. 

So... Interesting things? Nah. Nothing much. Things I learnt today? Americans are more 575 times more likely to die from committing suicide than from a terrorist attack apparently. Not that I'm making light of either. And doctors in Mississippi found a cure for HIV. More like they managed to cure it, though they are not sure how. Much like Einstein figuring out gravity, or Watson with DNA. Or maybe not. What would I know?

Owh, and heard the best news interview on Euronews regarding the retirement of the Pope. One guy went like : "I think times like this, people don't need a leader to teach them how to pray. They are all praying themselves. *laughs* God is up there, God listens". I am not commenting here on there necessity of a Pope, more on the fact that this was the one guy that was thinking : This is not the only problem in the world people. These are uncertain times for a lot other reasons....

And accepting the fact that more people than ever turn to religion in times of trouble. 

Astute I would say, even if it may not be totally on the topic. 

And..... been keeping my fever on the low past two days. Plus the walk today made me realise how unfit I've gotten. I guess it's time to... Ooh, is that Peanut Butter? *.* 

P.S. We'll get to the crux of that picture (and who I saw in it) some other time. *Scoops Peanut Butter*

... But you laid your hands on mine, and now every path is a brand new journey ~
