to the amazing CupCate..... because if it wasn't her post,,, you wouldn't be reading this thing im writing,, and all of my complaints and photos..!
the post that made me laugh a lot!
it is the same audio file that made me consider vox as a starting point to the "blogging me" !! and every time in a while,, i go back to that audio file and hear it again.. ! :D
so just wanted to say,, THANK YOU CUPCATE.. !
vox should [tig] this.. ! haha... !
when every one blogs in my neighborhood,, i can't keep up.. !
just like now,, i had to run 4 pages just to catch one day.. !
Today is Vox's first anniversary since the official launch. What's the best experience you've had on Vox in the past year?
i donnu... i guess it's hearing from people.. i just tend to ask for help around here if i'm having some trouble.. i ask some of my older friends around here for their help..
and more on that,, i enjoyed vox so much.. it's the community thing is what makes it more alive.. people feel more connected around here.. more than any other blogging website or service.. it's just different to be a vox member.. amazing thing actually!
Vamos Vox! ;)
well,, thanks to my friend Dave who brought this up,, but are we really happy?
i was reading in my last book, and i like how this man is writing,, inspirational stuff..
yet, it was somehow so true... i'm gonna quote some words from one of the main characters in the novel talking about the happiness we claim to search for..
Edda: " Everything is at once so simple and so complicated!, simple because all it takes is change of attitude : i'm not gonna look for happiness anymore in my life. and complicated because everyone has taught me that happiness is the ultimate goal worth pursuing..
after all what is happiness?
they say LOVE, but love is never has brought happiness, it's a constant state of anxiety, it's sleepless nights. it's asking ourselves all the time if we're doing the right thing. Real Love is composed of Ecstasy and agony.
All right then peace? Earth is never at peace ( it happens in the novel to call earth as the mother for a reason but im referring to it's name ) the winter does battle with the summer, the tiger chases the man who's afraid of the dog, who chases the cat, who chases the mouse, who frightens the man.
Money brings Happiness.in that case, everyone who earns enough to have a high standard of living would be able to stop work. but then, they're more troubled than ever, as if they were afraid of losing everything.
i spent my life looking for happiness, now what i want is joy. Joy is like sex - it begins and it ends. i want pleasure.
i asked people the most important question: " are you happy? ", and they all reply: " yes i am! " then i ask: " But don't you want more? Don't you want to keep on growing?" and they all reply: "Of course" then I say: " Then you're not Happy!" ..
we're surrounded by Universal Desire. It's not Happiness, It's Desire. and desires are never satisfied. because once desires are there, the are ceased to be desires.
When i read those words, i couldn't believe what i was thinking that happiness is what i'm looking for.. i was looking for joy, but i was saying for happiness.. but i didn't know that.
Amazing Paulo Coelho.. i got so much respect for the man..
what do you think? Are we Really Happy? according to these words, we can't be happy.. because we keep asking for more, but are we enjoying our lives? this should be the question.. we can't stop asking for more "happiness" which happens to mean here our "JOY" ... living each moment of happiness is enjoying them.. this is it exactly.. i don't know what to say.. i'm again in one of those crossroads where i have to stop and think a lot about my life.. im just in a state of losing my concentration because of the busy mind i carry wherever i go. I'm less focused now because problems keep popping along the way. once before i was more concentrated, that was like 2 months ago but change is the only constant thing, isn't it..
well,, now that i passed the number of 1000 visitors to my beloved vox blog... i can accept your gifts and congratulations you people out there.. ;)
in exactly 19 days... say 20.. which leaves us in a number of 50 visits per day.. NIICCEEE... !!
well,, i never expected to be this popular.. ! lol ... ( now im over reacting.. ! )
i just want to say,, thank you guys and girls,, ladies and gentlemen,, kids and adults,, gays and lesbian people visiting this small life reflecting space of free of speech.. stupidity,, and love thing going around from time to time.. i never thought i'd reach this level..i always thought that this blog will end up with my closest friends who dont have a vox account ( i swear ,, i explained to them so many times how blogging is amazing,, specially in vox ) but they're not convinced..but now,, i know i'm wrong.. ( i hope i'm loved somewhere around here haha.. ) ! well,, back to the 1K .. ! haha,, nice again.. !
now i just stopeed around here to discuss an issue of " being proud of yourself all the time " thing... saying ,, even i do mistakes,, i can be proud of myself.. because i learn from what i do.. i become angry at myself,, but never ashamed.. because if i don't live proud of myself and be confident that i am and sure that i;m proud of myself, then i'll be eaten alive around here in this life.. we gotta be strong i guess.. yea,, here,, this showing off thing ends.. ! haha !
so,, i felt angry somehow today.. i dont know why,, but life is not so colorful these past few days.. well,, was good but i somehow was bored and with nothing to do.. and i wanted chocolate milk for 2 days... so i went to buy some chocolate milk,, but ended up paying around 15 pounds for junk food.. and this includes :
- pringles BBQ
- lays ( ketchup, salty )
- 6 chocolate milk
- Oreo minis ( thats for a ride in the car.. :p )
- 3 Kinder Bueno
- 3 M&Ms crispy..
- Kit Kat with orange flavor ( which ironically,, makes me smile when i eat it.. yea it does,, like some taste that makes you happy )
- Freez ( Lemon, pomegranate and raspberry )
- emm,,, what else... i guess that's it.. !
and you can see how much i respect my books that i put the food above one of them.. ! actually i love this book.. !
Ok now people of Vox.... it's time for me to go read my novel,, eat some of the food i bought.. then fall asleep.. waiting for another day,, another story... =)
another state of nothing in mind but some stupidity.. ! :Dand i love it this way.. SIMPLEEEEE.. !!
