PWG

D: you know sometimes i still think of ways to win you back, bcs i'd always kinda hoped that maybe, we'd, you know.. get back together and that.. but you know, but when I heard that you're with.. you know..
(pause)
D: i know, i know, i know it's the height of hypocrisy and i know-doing this isn;t gonna change anything.. or-or make anything better..but um..
(sigh)
D: i'd.. i'd settle you for respect.
(tempo decreased,lower volume)
D: you know.. i'd settle you for smiling..when you thought about the time we had together and not thinkin' it was a waste of time..
(pause)
D: you know, i mean, i know i didn't do you any favours that day kay? i did a stupid, stupid, stupid thing.
(punchline)
D: but it was only because i thought that spoiling your day was better than ruining your life.. does that make any sense?
(closure)
D: i'm such an idiot.

The best of Charlie Chaplin

I'M SORRY BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE AN EMPEROR, THAT'S NOT MY BUSINESS. I DON'T WANT TO RULE OR CONQUER ANYONE. I SHOULD LIKE TO HELP EVERYONE IF POSSIBLE, MUSLIM, JEW, GENTILE, BLACK MEN, WHITE. WE ALL WANT TO HELP ONE ANOTHER, HUMAN BEINGS ARE LIKE THAT. WE ALL WANT TO LIVE BY EACH OTHER'S HAPPINESS, NOT BY EACH OTHER'S MISERY. WE DON'T WANT TO HATE AND DESPISE ONE ANOTHER. IN THIS WORLD THERE IS ROOM FOR EVERYONE AND THE EARTH IS RICH AND CAN PROVIDE WITH EVERYONE.

THE WAY OF LIFE CAN BE FREE OR BEAUTIFUL. BUT WE HAVE LOST THE WAY.

GREED HAS POISONED MEN'S SOULS, HAS BARRICADED THE WORLD WITH HATE ; HAS GOOSE-STEPPED US INTO MISERY AND BLOODSHED.

WE HAVE DEVELOPED SPEED BUT WE HAVE SHUT OURSELVES IN : MACHINERY THAT GIVES US ABUNDANCE HAS LEFT US IN WANT. OUR KNOWLEDGE HAS MADE US CYNICAL, OUR CLEVERNESS HARD AND UNKIND. WE THINK TOO MUCH AND FEEL TO LITTLE, MORE THAN MACHINERY WE NEED HUMANITY, MORE THAN CLEVERNESS WE NEED KINDNESS AND GENTLENESS.

WITHOUT THESE QUALITIES, LIFE WILL BE VIOLENT AND ALL WILL BE LOST.

THE AEROPLANE AND THE RADIO HAVE BROUGHT US CLOSER TOGETHER. THE VERY NATURE OF THESE INVENTIONS CRIES OUT FOR THE GOODNESS IN MEN, CRIES OUT FOR UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD FOR THE UNITY OF US ALL. EVEN NOW MY VOICE IS REACHING MILLIONS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, MILLIONS OF DESPAIRING MEN, WOMEN AND LITTLE CHILDREN, VICTIMS OF A SYSTEM THAT MAKES MEN TORTURE AND IMPRISON INNOCENT PEOPLE. TO THOSE WHO CAN HEAR ME I SAY "DO NOT DESPAIR".

THE MISERY IS NOW UPON US IS BUT THE PASSING OF GREED, THE BITTERNESS OF MEN WHO FEAR THE WAY OF HUMAN PROGRESS : THE HATE OF MEN WILL PASS AND DICTATORS DIE AND THE POWER THEY TOOK FROM THE PEOPLE, WILL RETURN TO THE PEOPLE AND SO LONG AS MEN DIE [NOW] LIBERTY WILL NEVER PERISH.

SOLDIERS: DON'T GIVE YOURSELVES TO BRUTES, MEN WHO DESPISE YOU AND ENSLAVE YOU, WHO REGIMENT YOUR LIVES, TELL YOU WHAT TO DO, WHAT TO THINK AND WHAT TO FEEL, WHO DRILL YOU, DIET YOU, TREAT YOU AS CATTLE, AS CANNON FODDER.

DON'T GIVE YOURSELVES TO THESE UNNATURAL MEN, MACHINE MEN, WITH MACHINE MINDS AND MACHINE HEARTS. YOU ARE NOT MACHINES. YOU ARE NOT CATTLE. YOU ARE MEN. YOU HAVE THE LOVE OF HUMANITY IN YOUR HEARTS. YOU DON'T HATE, ONLY THE UNLOVED HATE. ONLY THE UNLOVE AND UNNATURAL. SOLDIERS ; DONT FIGHT FOR SLAVERY, FIGHT FOR LIBERTY.

YOU THE POEPLE HAVE THE POWER, THE POWER TO CREATE MACHINES, THE POWER TO CREATE HAPPINESS. YOU THE PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE LIFE FREE AND BEAUTIFUL, TO MAKE THIS LIFE A WONDERFUL ADVENTURE. THEN IN THE NAME OF DEMOCRACY LET'S USE USE THE POWER, LET US ALL UNITE. LET US FIGHT FOR A NEW WORLD, A DECENT WORLD THAT WILL GIVE MEN A CHANCE TO WORK, THAT WILL GIVE YOU THE FUTURE AND OLD AGE AND SECURITY. BY THE PROMISE OF THESE THINGS, BRUTES HAVE RISEN TO POWER, BUT THEY LIE. THEY DO NOT FULFIL THEIR PROMISE, THEY NEVER WILL.

LOOK UP! LOOK UP! THE CLOUDS ARE LIFTING, THE SUN IS BREAKING THROUGH. WE ARE COMING OUT OF THE DARKNESS TO LIGHT. WE ARE COMING INTO A NEW WORLD. A KIND NEW WORLD WHERE MEN WILL RISE ABOVE THEIR HATE AND BRUTALITY.

Homer


While browsing throughthe family photo album, Lisa notices that there are no baby pictures of Maggie. Homer explains by recounting the story of Maggie's birth. In 1993, Homer hated working at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, and had a dream of working at a bowling alley. After he received a paycheck that cleared him of all his debts, he quit his job at the power plant, and went to get a job at the local bowling alley.

When Homer and Marge "snuggled" to celebrate this development, she become pregnant. Marge knew that the news would end Homer's new lifestyle and affect his happiness, because it meant he could no longer support his family on his bowling alley salary. Marge kept her pregnancy a secret as long as she could,but Patty and Selma, eager to ruin Homer's life, spread the news quickly around town.

Hower was not happy when he found out about Marge's pregnancy, and was completely unenthusiastic about the impending birth. Because of the financial problems caused by the pregnancy, Homer was forced to make a sacrifice and go back to the power plant. However, Mr. Burns made Homer beg for his job back, and placed a large plaque in front of Homer's desk reading: "Don't forget: you're here forever". Hower was once unhappy again at his work, but as with all the Simpson children, when Maggie was born, Homer instantly fell in love with her. Back in the present, Bart and Lisa still do not understand what that has to do with Maggie's photos. Homer merely mentions that they are in the place where he needs them the most. The scene then cuts to his workplace where all of the photos of Maggie are positioned on the plaque on the wall, which now reads: "Do it for her".

Be strong

It's these moments when silence overwhelms the space and time stops. When a father hugs his son, time stops out of shame before a father's wound.
Silence world looking and a father asking "What is my sons fault?"
-Al-Sha'ar neighbourhood

What I know about faith

Close your eyes, I'll write something on your hand. Do not see until you go home.

I saw you
at your
lowest point;
you're miserable,
wallowing worst,
pitiful and dirty,
sorrowful and shamed.

and I 
still 
love(d)
you.

Now

Late nights,
good books,
warm tea,
nice dreams.

Choose

Take the blue pill : the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.
You take the red pill : you stay in wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Anorexic-NO


From 48kg to 40kg, it is something, it is a demon, it's something that comes in there. I can't control it you can't control it. No one can. I can't fight it. I don't know what to do. It's half me and half this, you know, different. And I'm still learning to push it back. In the beginning I tried to fight it but it won't let me, the voice in my head won't go out oh you don't understand. Listen to the good fairy Anne.

Sleepsinging

55 pictures on the wall
A 100 chances that you blew
If only these pictures could say "I Love You"

You're on the heartbreak list
You're on the payroll 
You come with a hit and miss and gone when the lights go
You're on the heartbreak list
You're on the payroll
You're on the payroll

Coming in just under speed
When others die trying
You're winning with both broken knees
It was so beautiful what do you think

Everybody grew up and turned into asshole

Hi

This is now a trash. I've been lingering around Malaysia. Alone. That had me coughing for weeks and really toned my energy levels. I met my little brother. I spent almost 2 weeks with him, he's taller than me now :') It was really hard to pretend in front of him. Pretend that everything's gonna be okay. For him, I tried so hard to be as close to perfect. I want him to be happy, without thinking about anything that would distract him. When will I meet you again?
And, Happy New Year! 2012, I learned a lot. I succeed, I failed. To see people happy. To see people sad. Too see people excited. Too see people really feeling and showing love. It makes me who I am. Made. But I was too kind back then. Was I?
"Have I ever been angry?" I asked myself. The only thing that would come out from my mouth if there's anything is "No, it's totally fine!" "Don't worry, I completely understand!" "I'm always gonna be here if you need anything"
I realized that. My strongest yet actually the weakest point of me is that I would never get mad. I would automatically act nice, without actually realizing I'm doing it. Well I hope starting from today, God will show me the actual way to show love for His people. And now Im back in my apartment, with myself. Relaxing.
