Forbidden Fruit

I wish i knew why... But the forbidden fruit has always held more appeal to me than all those things easily at my disposal... Starting from the cute boy next door (who was crushing on my best friend & thus unattainable) and on whom i had the biggest infatuation back in school, to the insane need to jump that red light smack bang in the middle of Mount road two days ago. It is slightly encouraging to know that the lure of the forbidden fruit is not restricted only to me.. Come on.. When Adam and Even couldn't fight it.. I'm not even gonna try.

Life gives you choices, i'v narrowed them down for you all..

1. Some of them selfish and easy to make
2. Some of them selfless those you make for others
3. And as in my case most of them thoroughly impulsive (or in simple terms things you screwed up and will haunt you forever).

I would not call myself the biggest rebel or someone who followed every single one of my dumb impulses, sure i sure have made more than my fair share of chaos. Maybe that's why I've turned into a slight escapist.. cos if you cant get what you want in real life, that doesn't mean you cant dream about it... LOL.. And if you are an impulsive / "jump first and think next year" kinda girl.. You are sure to have made some of the stupidest decisions of your life.

Is it the curse of the young to remain confused and unhappy... on the unending chase for something fulfilling? or do we need reality to rear its ugly head every once in awhile, to show us how things really are. And when you are faced with reality, you will realize that nothing was ever how it appeared.

I'm still not too sure if it is human mentality to do / want what is impossible or if it's the sheer need for something new and exciting in life that drives us to it. Is this the real reason behind theft, rape, murder, betrayal... etc. I think I'm wandering.. from topic to topic.. sowwie :)

Is this the reason why we want to go back in the past...? and change things cos we feel "if i had the chance i would do it again"? simply because it cant be done.. not because we want to. If any of you are wondering what this blog really is about.. then it is about me trying to let out a little steam on all the things i want.. but shouldn't be wanting.. Now if any of you think i am depressed :P ...I am NOT.. at least not in a clinical sense.. what I'm trying to do is try to make sense of the situation.. by writing away at a frenzy here.

Tiny words such as "what if", "maybe", "could have been's" etc.. boggle and scramble the brain.. and until and unless you put things in perspective you are going to be stuck with a fractured heart, depressed state of mind and the disease of "THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT".

The Earth is such a mystery

By: Jay, age- 8

The Earth is very mysterious. When you see it from space, it appears blue and muddy green and you can even see tornadoes. There are also a lot of disasters that can happen on Earth. A lot of things that happen on our planet are unpredictable. If we lived on Venus or Mars or Saturn, life would be worse. Here, people have figured out a way to survive in harsh times. To me it seems weird that this place is the best place we can live.

The Earth has many different habitats that support life. From dry deserts to freezing polar ice caps, life exists everywhere. Our planet supports life on air, in water, and on land. It seems farfetched, almost impossible to live in a jungle, not knowing how to escape from predators. But there are millions of animals that do it!

It is amazing that people have discovered a way to survive on Earth. It is one of the reasons I want to study geography. I want to discover more secrets that the Earth has to reveal.

Scoliodentosaurophobia

For those of us who are not so familiar with that term it means "Fear of Lizards"

I have always been an animal lover and I also believe that all animals have as much right to live in this world as we all do.

I am simply in awe of crocodiles and snakes... so obviously the fear does not extend to all reptiles, and I find them fascinating.. so it is kind of weird that I will start screaming when ever I see a harmless lizard, I practically have to go in hiding and beg, cry and create a scene when ever I see a lizard. My mom or dad has to find them and get rid of them for me.. or I will bring the house down, I find them extremely gross and scary.. they come in so many different colors, sizes, etc...! Especially the pink and black ones... Double Ewwwwww..!
And if God ever created a master of camouflage these guys rank as NO 1...!
I have been fooled by these guys so many times in so many places.. They are simply every where and anywhere. While i would not hurt a lizard or try to kill it, I simply don't know how to handle the situation, how in the world do you get rid of these guys? I know they are more scared of me than I am of them.. My head asks me to remain cool and composed whereas the same head screams out.. run for cover, save yourself... this is a vicious, deadly reptile which will.. I don't know.. I couldn't think any further because my mind just freezes with panic after that.. This feeling is completely illogical, irrational and stupid, i know. But I still couldn't figure out how I can deal with these.. nerve wreckers!
Anyone got ideas?

waste of time...

Although it's a little difficult for me to find time to waste (most of my time is used up in eating or sleeping) here are few thing you can do to completely waste your time:
Here goes

1. Arrange for all your friends to meet up, fix up a venue, time, with proper arrangements and dont show up.
2. Balance on one leg.
3. Look up your daily horoscope from an old newspaper.
4. Eavesdrop on somebody's conversations.
5. Imagine being very poor and put out a performance.
6. Imagine being very rich and put out a performance.
7. Send text messages to yourself.
8. Imagine yourself writing a book and start inventing characters.
9. Practice forging your dad's/boss's signature.
10. Check out ways to earn more money.
11. Promise not to swear ever again.
12. Check how long you can hold your breath.
13. Button your shirt or tie your laces with just one hand.
14. Write your autobiography in vivid detail.
15. Try to think of what you were doing this exact day, last year!
16. Think of ways to waste time and write them in a note book, or even better blog them.

I can think & come up with many many more... But I guess lets not waste any more time!

Awesome awesome!
