This is the story of Mr. Doodlez...Mr. Doodlez is a very special person. Somewhat only appearing on paper and desktops of boring classrooms and lecture halls. He stays only as long as necessary but long enough.
He represents whatever state of mind the 'doodler' is, which is usually a jumble (hence the doodle, if it wasnt, he'll be called Mr.perfect...). The funny part about Mr. Doodlez is that he'll never appear when we want him to. He is purely a product of our subconcious, bored mind and can never come from our concious and alert thoughts...That's Mr.Doodlez..
Unbelievable!! i played Tennis!! well, it wasnt actually playing..it was more like serving, managing to whack it once and then start running after it..and then, repeating the routine again for like an hour...
and it was at this time that i realized something else about this silly thing that we call life..isnt it just like tennis (or it can be badminton or ping pong if you like) ?
In tennis (or again badminton or ping pong), you have a ball flying at you, sometimes slow, sometimes fast, sometimes at perfect angles and sometimes so off the target that it makes you swear (not that you should) and then, sometimes you get it and sometimes you dont. sometimes also, you send the ball back flying at odd angles...and the times when you dont get the ball you end up running after it (like me...) and you try again (and again and again)...but either way, you realize that you only HAVE a chance to get the ball if you move and go for it. It may, once in a while, come straight to your bat but that doesnt always happen.
Isnt life more or less like that? it keeps throwing opportunities at you. some easier to get than the others, and some that flies by even before you knew that it was coming, but you will only have a chance at those opportunities if you reach out for it. jump, run, bend, whatever and TRY to get it. if you miss it, you end up running after it and 9 times out of 10 you wont get it.
but so what?! that doesnt mean that was the last one. like tennis, there are many others...you just have to pick it up and try again or wait for another opportunity to come flying. and like tennis you may get it or you may never (for the whole hour!) but you will never know until you try. the best part is, you get better and better after lots of practice and there are lesser chance of missing. and that too, you will never know if you gave up after the first miss...
isnt tennis inspiring?? but next time i think i'll go for something less painful and maybe a smaller court (and something that doesnt break my nails!! i chipped 2!!) like badminton or ping pong..
While at class today (biostatistics..nevertheless :-l )..i had this train of thought..
At every point in life, or at least at some points, its hard not to meet LOVE. Be it a brief muse or a lingering thought or even a undying memory, LOVE is simply inevitable, unavoidable...
Its like the shore and you the wave that keeps crashing on it no matter how hard you try to run away...in the same way LOVE too just cant leave and not come back.Its not in its character. Its like a humans and puppy dogs..they keep tagging along and when it grows, they lead and you follow..holding it on a leash..in case it runs away..
It may be cheesy and predictable or strong and unpredictable but you're still drawn to it. you keep looking for it in love stories, romantic fiction, movies and even life.
For something claiming to be so selfless, LOVE is shockingly addictive and equally selfish in not letting go when it should ( or less painful if it did) and awfully heart-breaking ( I cant find a better word at the moment...) when it does that you almost hoped it was selfish and wouldn't let go...
I'm more confused about this feeling called LOVE now, even more than before i started...
What is LOVE?
What is life?
Is life good? is life bad? or is it just plain hard and difficult?
what is life really?
to me...i think that life is just OVER-RATED!!
Everyone is always going on and on about life..its this and that..but i think that life is simply just..LIFE..
its like the sun..some say that the sun is setting, its rising, its hotter today, cooler yesterday, yaada yaada yaada...
but truth be said...the sun is just the sun..constant, ever shining, same position, same temperature..it is what it is..its the sun..
same goes to life..Life is what it is..its how you live it that makes a difference..
bizarre, cranky, curious, eccentric, erratic, freakish, idiosyncratic, odd, outlandish, peculiar, quaint, queer, quirky, singular, strange, unnatural, unusual..
i was trying to find a single word that describes me best..but i think that i'm lost..eccentric is considered crazy so maybe..
erratic..unpredictable..hmm..
quirky?
what am i??
