Life is amazing...

When you don't know what to do?
Should you do nothing?

~

When you don't know what to say?
Should you just listen?

~

The best thing anyone has to offer is love.
(followed by respect and trust);

~

How can someone even ask for that?
How can people take something that is not given?

~

There are no "You Have To" in this life.
Have To Do's are for followers not for leaders.

~ Prince Charming, not... ~

The soothing voice that fills my ears

A laughter tender so
Every moment within his midst
Is all I need to know.

Finally re-felt his gentle touch

His body warm to hold
Kisses melting upon my lips
His beauty I behold.

He lays behind me & there is quite a "flow"...
In his arms he holds me tight...
His passion rises in basking glow.
My love I can’t deny.

With morning comes new realizations
Another evening’s past it seems
Even as loving as it was, with new aspirations...
Was just another of my dreams.

Now each life I cling with need
My lover I hope I find
As eyes grow heavy and thoughts grow dim
I seek him in my mind.

I've been dreaming for days,
Nearly or close to fall,
Prince Charming, If I may,
Isn't a Prince after all...

Charming, yes you are,
Manners are alack,
You're not worth wishing that star,
I always wait for you to be back?

And Prince, I'd like to tell you this,
At least once before I go,
I really LIKED U A LOT.
I've got no more cards to show.

Glass slipper ain't mine,
I am not asleep either,
I have two feet just fine.
So don't think I'm your Princess neither.

I won't be dreaming today,
Neither will I fall
He may or not be a Prince,
But He ain't mine after ALL.

~ Behind every curtain... ~

Someone told me not too long ago that life is a theater.
A theater on which we act with no rehearsals.
Some people live on stage.
Others live backstage.

Worse of all, are those two that open and close the curtains.
They know exactly what to do,
but they limit themselves, sticking to what they know,
and feel comfortable doing.
Opening and closing those damn curtains, every time.
And when those curtains open... there it comes:
Life... Hope... Meaning of doing something useful...
But then, the curtains close...
And there it goes; all the purpose. All the effort. Everything.

Mental note: You cannot live your life being the rope person.
You cannot dedicate your life just allowing everyone and everything
shine but yourself and the person across the stage from you.

Eventually, you have to let go the ropes, both of you...
Start, your own scene.
It might be so hard, unexperienced...
But if you are going to do it, just do it!
Allow yourselves to live...
And if there's no tomorrow...
Oh well, today was written and played by you.

~ XBOX360 LIVE ~

So... To run away from video games
I decided to create a game on Xbox360 (live)...
Where I create a sentence and people have to end it.
Alright?
In the end, I had a lot of different answers (from different people),
But that just shows, how different we can all be.
Some of them didn't even dare to answer/try. (weird)

Here's the sentence:

"If GOD knows everything our lives are _____________?"

Here are some of the answers:

-> ... are "Over".
-> ... are "Complete".
-> ... are "To be together". (found this one funny)
-> ... are "Useless".
-> ... are "His thoughts".
-> ... are "Great".
-> ... are "The only thing we can control".
-> ... are "Broccoli". (laughed for awhile on this one!)
-> ... are "Amazing".
-> ... are "manically devouted to some bloke who desserted his son then turned him into a zombie"
-> ... are "Choices we make that is why he gave us a brain!"

-> ... are "Thoughtless". (by a 12 yr old, I'm so proud of her)
-> ... are "Transparent".
-> ... are "Perfect".
-> ... are "An Open Book".

(LOL!!)

My answer was different from all of these, obviously.
But I will post it on here after some of you try to find the ending as well.

Best of Luck,

Ness

~ I do ~

I know it's you...
I do, I do,... I do!

When I feel and there's no more faces...
When I think and don't care about places.

I know it's you...
I do, I do,... I do!

When I want to see the world with your eyes,
When with you, there's no place for goodbyes!

I know it's you...
I do, I do,... I do!

When I feel that only you can show me why we're here
When it's you that makes me feel no fear.

I know it's you...
I do, I do,... I do!

When I can't think of anything bad,
When it's you that makes me smile when I'm sad.

I know it's you...
I do, I do,... I do!

When you is all I have in my heart...
And I know nothing will do us apart.

I know it's you...
I do, I do,... I do!

'Cause I'm certain it's you...
I know you feel the same way too.

I know it's you...
I do, I do,... I do.

* LISTEN TO ME *

Today I am going to speak of some sentence

that has been haunting me all my life!
I've heard it so many times, that I've decided to take the time to talk about it.
Which is:

"You can't have the best of both worlds."

I've heard it from colleagues, teachers, mom,... from everyone.

I know a lot of people that used to be geeks back in the day
and now a days they think they are something else...
So, they are just mean to people, 'cause they had some sour experiences...
... they blame it on the world.
But they rise up, they succeed in life.
Going from the "geek" to the world's accepted ideal of "Glory" and
"Might" and "Splendor" and sometimes even "Sacredness"!

Same applies to a lot of good looking people a few years back,
that thought they were going to be beautiful and popular forever,
so they were just plain rude and stupid...
... Today? They are at the bottom of the human latter,
as the accepted estimates of degree and value go; without gifts,
without talent, without education, without morals, without character,
without any charm or any acquired one that wins or beguiles or attracts;
without a single grace of mind or heart or hand that any tramp, pimp or
prostitute could envy him/her.
(woohoo)

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

All of them, being different now, are nothing more than mangy, offensive,
empty, unwashed, vulgar, gross, mephitic, timid, sneaking, human polecats.
Without our clothes and pedestals we are poor things and much of a size;
our dignities are not real, our pomps are shams.
At our best and stateliest we are not suns, as we pretended, and we teach,
and believe, but only candles; and any bummer can blows us out.

All this realizes to us what sorry shows and shadows we are.

Through elementary and high school...
I was popular!
Normally, good looking people, that are popular,
don't tend to get good grades. Oh well, I did.
People that play the guitar or clarinet...
Aren't usual good at gymnastics. Well, I was.

I had straight A's! And I was doing gymnastics,
playing instruments, singing, dancing,
writing, reading, jumping around,
had time for friends and family.
And still be popular!!

Now, I can prove the world I can have the best of both worlds...
I can be doing what I want to do with my life and still be with you,
and love you... and care for you... like no other.
Because I'm talented like that.

=)

Not everyone does an IQ test, with no wrong answers.
But there's some of us that do.

PEOPLE... You are little more than diseased pieces of waste.
There's nothing even remotely relevant about you... pathetic.
STOP TELLING ME I CAN'T HAVE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.
BECAUSE I CAN.
BECAUSE I DO.

* Oh, the Places You'll Go! by Dr. Seuss *

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.

You'll look up and down streets. Look 'em over with care.
About some you will say, "I don't choose to go there."
With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet,
you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street.

And you may not find any
you'll want to go down.
In that case, of course,
you'll head straight out of town.

It's opener there
in the wide open air.

Out there things can happen
and frequently do
to people as brainy
and footsy as you.

And when things start to happen,
don't worry. Don't stew.
Just go right along.
You'll start happening too.

OH!
THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!

You'll be on your way up!
You'll be seeing great sights!
You'll join the high fliers
who soar to high heights.

You won't lag behind, because you'll have the speed.
You'll pass the whole gang and you'll soon take the lead.
Wherever you fly, you'll be the best of the best.
Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.

Except when you don't
Because, sometimes, you won't.

I'm sorry to say so
but, sadly, it's true
and Hang-ups
can happen to you.

You can get all hung up
in a prickle-ly perch.
And your gang will fly on.
You'll be left in a Lurch.

You'll come down from the Lurch
with an unpleasant bump.
And the chances are, then,
that you'll be in a Slump.

And when you're in a Slump,
you're not in for much fun.
Un-slumping yourself
is not easily done.

You will come to a place where the streets are not marked.
Some windows are lighted. But mostly they're darked.
A place you could sprain both your elbow and chin!
Do you dare to stay out? Do you dare to go in?
How much can you lose? How much can you win?

And IF you go in, should you turn left or right...
or right-and-three-quarters? Or, maybe, not quite?
Or go around back and sneak in from behind?
Simple it's not, I'm afraid you will find,
for a mind-maker-upper to make up his mind.

You can get so confused
that you'll start in to race
down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace
and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space,
headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.
The Waiting Place...

...for people just waiting.
Waiting for a train to go
or a bus to come, or a plane to go
or the mail to come, or the rain to go
or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
or waiting around for a Yes or a No
or waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting.

Waiting for the fish to bite
or waiting for wind to fly a kite
or waiting around for Friday night
or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake
or a pot to boil, or a Better Break
or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants
or a wig with curls, or Another Chance.
Everyone is just waiting.

NO!
That's not for you!

Somehow you'll escape
all that waiting and staying.
You'll find the bright places
where Boom Bands are playing.

With banner flip-flapping,
once more you'll ride high!
Ready for anything under the sky.
Ready because you're that kind of a guy!

Oh, the places you'll go! There is fun to be done!
There are points to be scored. there are games to be won.
And the magical things you can do with that ball
will make you the winning-est winner of all.
Fame! You'll be famous as famous can be,
with the whole wide world watching you win on TV.

Except when they don't.
Because, sometimes, they won't.

I'm afraid that some times
you'll play lonely games too.
Games you can't win
'cause you'll play against you.

All Alone!
Whether you like it or not,
Alone will be something
you'll be quite a lot.

And when you're alone, there's a very good chance
you'll meet things that scare you right out of your pants.
There are some, down the road between hither and yon,
that can scare you so much you won't want to go on.

But on you will go
though the weather be foul
On you will go
though your enemies prowl
On you will go
though the Hakken-Kraks howl
Onward up many
a frightening creek,
though your arms may get sore
and your sneakers may leak.

On and on you will hike
and I know you'll hike far
and face up to your problems
whatever they are.

You'll get mixed up, of course,
as you already know.
You'll get mixed up
with many strange birds as you go.
So be sure when you step.
Step with care and great tact
and remember that Life's
a Great Balancing Act.
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot with your left.

And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)

KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!

So...
be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray
or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea,
you're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So...get on your way!

*Quotes by Richard Bach*

A professional writer is an amateur who didn't quit.

Allow the world to live as it chooses, and allow yourself to live as you choose.

An idea is never given to you without you being given the power to make it reality. You must, nevertheless, suffer for it.

Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they're yours.

Ask yourself the secret of YOUR success. Listen to your answer, and practice it.

Avoid problems, and you'll never be the one who overcame them.

Bad things are not the worst things that can happen to us. Nothing is the worst thing that can happen to us!

Can miles truly separate you from friends... If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there?

Civilization... wrecks the planet from seafloor to stratosphere.

Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.

Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.

Every problem has a gift for you in its hands.

Get this in mind early: We never grow up.

Happiness is the reward we get for living to the highest right we know.

Here is a test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: If you're alive, it isn't.

I gave my life to become the person I am right now. Was it worth it?

I want to be very close to someone I respect and admire and have somebody who feels the same way about me.

If it's never our fault, we can't take responsibility for it. If we can't take responsibility for it, we'll always be its victim.

If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were.

If your happiness depends on what somebody else does, I guess you do have a problem.

In order to win, you must expect to win.

In the United States Christmas has become the rape of an idea.

It is by not always thinking of yourself, if you can manage it, that you might somehow be happy. Until you make room in your life for someone as important to you as yourself, you will always be searching and lost.

Learning is finding out what you already know.

Listen to what you know instead of what you fear.

Live never to be ashamed if anything you say or do is published around the world, even if what is said is not true.

Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.

Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof.

The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it.

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.

The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls the butterfly.

The meaning I picked, the one that changed my life: Overcome fear, behold wonder.

The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in a while and watch your answers change.

There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go.

To bring anything into your life, imagine that it's already there.

You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.

You are never given a dream without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however.

You don't want a million answers as much as you want a few forever questions. The questions are diamonds you hold in the light. Study a lifetime and you see different colors from the same jewel.

You teach best what you most need to learn.

Your conscience is the measure of the honesty of your selfishness. Listen to it carefully.

Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years.

Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. Being true to anyone else or anything else is not only impossible, but the mark of a fake messiah.

[I recommend one of his books, called "Illusions", it's one of my favorites!
Simple... but well written; It's a really short book and also, very cheap] -
- This is my book recommendation of the month!

* Bruises *

If it hurts, it will bruise.

I was thinking... a few days ago after reading the book
"The Castle in the Forest" once again...
... and all it came to mind was the sentence written above.

I know, own experience, that if someone hits you, it will bruise...
... no matter how soft they do it.

But what if every time someone actually hurts you with words,
it would literally, physically, bruise?
Can you imagine how dark everyone would be?

When someone hits you, physically, the bruises might last 2 weeks...
But when done it with words, it takes quite more time to heal.

It just made me sad. Very sad.

* Living is like... acting... *

Even the sun goes down;
Heroes eventually die;
Horoscopes often lie;
Clowns sometimes will frown...
Now and then, while nothing is for sure,
Nothing is for certain,
Nothing lasts forever;
But until they close the curtain...
