| Left out in the coldI came crawling back.. Like a hurt wolf, to the hideout safest to its knowledge, licking its wound; like a banged up boxer who hit a wall in his career, stepping into the ring he fought his first ever fight, alone at night in search of some kind of inspiration.. I came crawling back, to here, to my sanctuary. It’s no doubt the darkest time of my life. I need everything I can grasp, every bit of energy I can gather, every positive thoughts I can mustered, every inspiration I can rainbow (I just invented this verb, blow me).. Who’d have thought, not me, I really didn’t see this coming. I look at all the decisions I’ve made that brought me to this point of my life.. What more could I have done? I know, be better prepared, more alert, and make better plans.. well, at least make plans.. What a wakeup call. I guess at this point, if I were to be a pessimist as which is in my nature... I would look at it and say it’s all too late, I am not young anymore, and it’s not realistic for any major career maneuver, there won’t be a finish line by the time I got there.. It’d be vanished. Or if I were to be an optimistic, by nurture, as I’ve always pushed myself to be. I would need to pull myself together and get myself a brand new direction. I’d have to look at the positive, the silver lining as they say: I’m healthy, I have EIT now, I’m multilingual, my English is fluent, I look great wearing a suit (ok, I needed to exaggerate a bit, as an optimistic) and I have a car that runs. I might still make it, to the finish line… to the cheese that’s being moved. It’s hard just trying not to feel depressed. Depression, negative thoughts are like vultures, it prowls at me, lurks at me at all time.. each time I let my guard down, they take a bite at me like dark shadow cast over lightpole under the moonlight. But tonight, it’s different; I am in a safe place. Or is it the lack of necessary feeling of fear and anxiety that have got me here at the first place? “ I never worry about action, but only inaction. ” ~ Winston Churchill This will be the last line (well, except I’ll have to write this line to say it..duh) as I’ll leave my cathedral, and go back to the battelfield. | | |
| reasonreason: | 1. | a basis or cause, as for some belief, action, fact, event, etc.: the reason for declaring war. |
| 2. | a statement presented in justification or explanation of a belief or action. |
| 3. | the mental powers concerned with forming conclusions, judgments, or inferences. |
| 4. | sound judgment; good sense. |
| 5. | normal or sound powers of mind; sanity. |
| 6. | Logic. a premise of an argument. |
so logically speaking, everything we do should have a reason, because it is a "justification or explanation of a belief or action. " But lately, i come to realize many things i do, was not provided with one.. I've always like to use excuses, like i have no time, i can't blog.. i am not tall, i can't be a pro-athelete.. i am not rich enough, that's why i don't have a girlfriend. But reasoning.. i lack. Like why did i pick up engineering as my major in college? I don't think i've done enough reasoning, or logical thinking to come up with that choice. I think the best i can come up with is, cause i used to think engineers are cool.. they make the world a better place by solving technical problems. (at least that's what i thought back when i was kid) But i guess if i've done a better job on the "reasoning" process.. i'd have consider much more other more important elements like my personal traits, is it something i like etc. The consequences of not doing good "reasoning" before an action could be severe, unnecessary to elaborate here.. but allow me to amuse you with this little nightmare i recently recovered from ( more like recovering from).. There will only be questions, because the answer would be the reasons, and like i said.. i lack. Why do i have to move out from where i used to live? Why do i moved in with a roommate i don't know? Why do i never lock my room door? Why i do i have to help keep other's luggage just cause someone ask me to? I end up having no real place to sleep, lost my friend's precious belongings, lost my friend's trust, lost some of my own precious belongings. I deserved all this crap, i should have known better.. ..than listening to that beautiful but ridiculous line Jude Law spit out in the movie " My Blueberry Night" " sometimes its not that you don't search hard enough.. sometimes the reason is just not there".. " like the blueberry pie..by the end of the night, the apple pie would always be completely gone, there would be a little bit of the pineapple pie.. but there'd always be a whole piece of blueberry pie.. untouched".. " why? there is nothing wrong with the blueberry pie.. its delicious.. just nobody wants it" P/S: Thank you ven ven, i've been meaning to get back into blogging.. thanks for the final kick. | | |
| Christmas my ass.
The first thing that comes into my head is, “ I’m quitting.”
I was panic, my vision is blurry, I don’t know where I am looking at, I don’t
know where I should stand. But there is this dread thought spinning in my head: “if I really
couldn’t find it, I have to quit.”
Days after the tragic incident, I am still shaken, still dreaming of my
snowboard, still thinking about the nice curve, the beautiful white bottom, the
handsome orange writings and the very cool flow binding that has everyone
talking about.
But I am thinking again, about the quitting part.
I wanted to quit for several obvious reasons and some not so.
Obviously, you can’t shred, carve the beautiful powder without a
snowboard. I can’t afford a new one, its way beyond budget to get another
hottie like mine. I can’t go back to rental, all boarders would probably
understand this part. It’s like you used to own a tricked-up EVO
VIII and race at the track, now you wreck your baby, and you have to rent an
Accord to get on the race track?? Would you do it?
I am in so much pain, I have to envy everyone
in the slopes.. I hate everyone holding their own board.. like a 8 year kid
without a bike, looking at all the kids riding their new bikes, like a 29 year old single male,
going out to Santa Monica
beach on Valentine’s night.. I have to hate and that’s not me.. I
would look at every board, as long as it’s black, and i can't help it.
Well, that’s the early aftermaths.. when the feeling settles.. and I’m
coming to senses, as a very logical person, (at least i think so) I wanted to be
reason this out. Does losing a board justify me abandon my passion for the
slopes?
Like everyone else, I’ve fallen countless times, I was yelled at
numerous times at the slope, I was sprayed at countless times mostly by
Marv..hmm…stand corrected, only by Marvin. I have countless bruises
everywhere on my body.. and just as I’m about starting to shred, carve
and really enjoying this sport, i have to quit? So i figured, if i ever want to shred again, i need a plan. And i came up with a no-brainer: i will stop going for a couple of months.. so i can save up a little, and get me a board, hopefully just as nice or maybe the same GNU. I guess my crew just have to do without me for this season.. even if i return some time mid-february, i will be so slow comparing to them, no one wanna ride with me. (Its already the case right now) so i guess no time to catch up, but at least we can hang at lunch time. (so sad..) well.. at least i can look forward to NewYear Eve massive with my Favert DJ blowing the brains out of all of us.. yo~ Happy New Year everyone!

| No excuseNo, i am not gonna start with all that lame excuses... no time, fatigue,tied up with life itself.. blah blah.. yea, i had been always good with excuses, blame others with my own fault, but this time, i wanna change that.. no more excuses, no entry for the past 11 weeks? I can't really come up with a good reason for that because all i'd have, is excuses..
this is feeling weird already, i've so much to blog about.. oh my, oh my.. this past months.. sooo many things happened, so many things didn't happen.. Where do i start? i guess what ever comes into my mind..
let's see..
Let's see..
Let's see...
oh my.. lets just drop all the irritating, mind-consuming decisions i have to make.. which is all up in my head now.. Let's for once in a long long time, in s2theeven's xanga, talk about.... Happy stuff? lolz..
SNowboarding re-enters my life.. okay, it never entered before this, yeah, to be honest, i didn't "let" snowboarding "in" at all, last season.. there is only for another reason, i'd have to hit the slope.. its a reason, not an excuse.. its a beautiful reason yet not the right one.
So this time, i think i've got it right, i wanna snowboard, because.. i wanna shred, carve, slide, fly on the white white powder.. just because.
damn it.. i wanna avoid leaving this here, but all these decisions occupying my whole mind right now. I guess, its really time for lil Stevie boy to grow up now.. can't just stay like a kid forever, and according to that "Weather man" movie i quoted in my previous entry long time ago.. "Easy never enters an adult's life" such a heavy notion.. but i really agreeing more and more, to be an adult, u need to do the right thing.. and more than often, the right thing is the hard thing.
so i guess i need to do a lot of hard things from now on, comparing to giving excuses, always looking for the easy way out.. i think this is a transitional period, of me.. throwing away my Peter Pan's custome and walk down the stairs, instead of sliding down the stair-rail.. and walk, with a very straight back... out of the door and do the right, and hard things.
huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...
haaaaaaaaah..
yes.

| confession of a raverClose my eyes and mesmerize; Memories flashes, time flies. Dances, dances and I dance On the alley between Joy and Hollow. In search of the very first ray of the sunrise. So, let the music free your soul; fill the emptiness within inside. leave your body to the flow; n' let the lights rule the night. Awaken, I’ve never felt so alive. Intake life, every time I breath Yet, I sunk, Plunged. Into the deepest abyss of darkness, And you are the only light I see. So, Let the rhythm carry your sorrow, Shake off all the burden and mourn Open your heart and follow the sign n’ let the lights steal the night. Maybe we will be in love in another life Maybe it’s just the smoke in my eyes This is where everything lie Six feet under in between these lines. May you rest in peace, My fire of desire.. This is where I bid my solemn bye bye. So, Let the strings set the fire. Let the lights take over the night. ~ Shin | | |
