Life is Wonderful

It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I'm saying

I have been feeling so plainly, or in other words; I have been feeling blank. Therefore, rarely writing because I don't feel like writing. Today. Today was one of those days where one feels something. Have you ever felt a fact, wisdom, or a saying? Something said by the young and the old; the childish and mature; the crazy and the sane. You've known it before. You've seen it. But you've never felt it. Until a day, a moment, where you say "aaaaaah."

It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes some words to make an action
And it takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction

I have been criticized about getting so excited about something; getting upset about minors; or letting small things disturb my mood. True, sometimes it's not a good thing, but I call it living the moment to the fullest. How can you appreciate salt and pepper if you have not eaten a real, real plain food? Or, how can you appreciate Mozart if you have not heard Brittany Spears singing? It's just more flavor that way. If it is a funny thing, I am going to laugh until I cry. If it's a stressful thing, I am going to feel nervous. If it's a sad thing, I am going to feel sad and shed tears. I am going to talk about it, because I talk about everything and anything.
On this topic, Islam is just great. Islam teaches us how to give out to others the things we love the most. That way you really appreciate the things you have. Omar bin Al Khattab once asked someone why is he buying some sort of food, and the guy said: "I felt like it." Omar said,"Everytime you feel like something you get it?"

My awesome flight instructor, whom I really owe learning how to fly, said once,"dreams and desires are what get people thru life." Ok, so probably he did not come up with this outta blue, but I like quoting him. Anyhow, I am afraid of uncertainty in the future. Well, I hate to not know what I am doing. I feel like things can crumble in a second, unless I think about it. I aint talking about tomorrow future, I am talking about next year future! On the other hand, I get frightened if I can see the rest of my life lied out for me. For example, when I worked in Boston, I walked in the office and imagined that I've graduated and I am coming to the same office every day for the rest of my life. That is just SCARY! So, bottom line, an idea of where I am going but with a slight touch of uncertainty.

t takes a night to make it dawn
And it takes a day to make you yawn brother
And it takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other

I've always had problem with adjective. I just can't describe things by word. No joke, right? I met a person today. Right away in my mind, I had him/her classified in some specific class. Then a friend said,"she/he is COLD." I thought, "That is the word for these people!!"

And it takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
And it takes some fears to make you trust
It takes some tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to HAVE it polished

I aint smart, but my brain works weirdly. Example? How does my brain make a joke? I notice something. Goes to my brain. My brain processes it, and connects it directly to a previous event, or most often a TV-show/movie. My brain think about that event, or TV-show/movie. My brain assumes few things, and based on the assumptions a joke slips outta my mouth. The result is a hilarious, coded joke that implicitly is the nicest thing I've ever said, though a mean one on the surface. In addition, the punch line was so processed and chewed up in my brain amidst all the assumptions that I have to explain a whole lot about the joke. AND THEN, I get an 'aaahh .. he he he'

A friend once told me that he has different hats for different occasions. I like that. I want to master my hats. My hats are all tangled together. I want to make it clear and like a switch. I am going into a kindergarten, so I turn on the goofy switch. I leave it to a business meeting with a CEO, so I turn the goofy one off, and then turn the formal-I-am-so-important switch on!

It takes some silence to make sound
And it takes a loss before you found it
And it takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to make you care
It takes a hole to MAKE a mountain

Is it a good thing that what's in your mind/brain/heart is all on the out? I think it is. It's got to be controllable to not be hurtful to others. But hey, that helps in getting a clear pure mind/brain/heart!

I just want to think. No, not like a thinker, more like creative weird things. One day, I will have a firm that sells ideas!

Crazy. But deep.

Don't ever write a book on philosophy though. You'll run the others out of business!
