morning always comes too soon

Posted by  on 29 September 2008, 9:52 am

for most of you the title probably says nothing, for some it might remind of you of the brad carter song, “morning always comes too soon”; which i highly recommend. however, this is not about the song, but rather about the memorable nights you spend with your loved one, the nights that seem to last forever only to end too soon.

the nights when everything seems to lose importance except for the person in front of you, the person you hold in your arms as if to say ‘you are part of me’, the person you think of before you fall asleep, the person who’s on your mind the minute you wake up. the nights when simply sitting there, staring in each others eyes is reason enough to smile, to feel loved, to feel peace, to feel as if fairy tales are once again possible. yes, fairy tales, the tales of your youth. the passion flowing through your veins through the night compares to nothing ever experienced before. words need not be spoken, as both of you know what the other is saying, what the other one is feeling.

the first such night is one you will never forget. holding on to her to feel her breath, her chest close to yours, her chin resting on your chest. you turn just to get another glimpse of her eyes; eyes in which you find yourself lost and found all in the same time. you see her desire to offer her love to you just as you wish to offer yours. the eyes that will always admire you for you, admire you for the respect and the kindness. for tonight, her eyes endless pools of joy and happiness; for tonight, she is there in your arms logging to be held, cherished and loved. tiredness sets in, yet closing your eyes is impossible because the most beautiful woman, with the most gorgeous smile, the most tender touch, is looking at you, looking into your eyes and opening her heart to you.

the first moments of consciousness settle in, yet your eyes are still closed. you wonder if last night was a dream or is it real, did morning settle in to fast, as if this was a dream you would never want to wake up. as you open your eyes, besides you the most precious being is still in your arms. for the you know, the night was not a dream, it was a fairy tale.

headlights

Posted by  on 29 September 2008, 3:10 am

finally a ‘pet peeve’, headlights. headlights that are set on the ‘high beam’ setting while driving on the very dark vancouver streets. it is infuriating having a ‘driver’ come behind you with his/her high beam on and not think twice that perhaps it might be a nuisance. it is quite disturbing and rude having to put up with ‘drivers’ that seem to lack the concept of not only street courtesy, but logic all together. whether the car is behind you or in front of you, it is distracting and annoying.

leaving personal preference aside, it is simply ‘extremely dangerous’. the high beam setting is and was provided for dark streets outside of the city. it is unsafe driving with them on. blinding the driver on the opposite lane can cause accidents. driving behind someone with your high beams on, will cause distraction with the same effect as in the previous question.

vancouver streets are equipped with numerous lights, you barely need your low beam on to be able to see where you drive. i am still stupidified why someone would need to turn their high beams on and drive as if they were alone on the road. it’s simply unsafe, so STOP DOING IT.

doubt

Posted by  on 29 September 2008, 2:04 am

the meaning of the word will get everyone pointing to something as simple as ‘insecurity’ or perhaps ‘vulnerability’. but is it really so? to ‘doubt’ something implies much more than feeling insecure about an entity. searching and defining the word ‘doubt’ will bring about numerous definitions and potential meanings, all with somewhat of a negative connotation attached to them. but there is more to it than that.

to ‘doubt’ something, at least in my opinion, is a bit deeper. it signals an instinct to develop, to learn, to not take something for granted. would one call the doubter foolish, if he is to ‘doubt’ that a simple mathematical proposition has to equal to a certain value? perhaps, but in the end the lack of ‘doubt’ would have rendered us rather powerless against survival. examples are plenty, but ‘doubt’ can and does have a positive meaning. it is the doubter that will have the highest chance to remove his blinders, or pink glasses for some of you, and find a different solution to a problem. it is through ‘doubt’ that one will ask for reason, for justification. forcing the authoritarian figure stating a fact to, sometimes, dig deep inside them and be able to justify the facts stated prior.

advancement and development does not come from following, comes from doubting the very things you are taught, the very things you are feed on a daily basis. stop and ask for justification. understanding the reasons behind the statement will allow one to decide on its value. however, one must add, there is a requirement of justification for one’s ‘doubt’ into a statement. cannot simply ‘doubt’, there needs to be substance to support the requirement to question. thus, one should not be afraid to ‘doubt’ something, but one must be careful as to the reasons for it.
