Quoting #3

“The great moments of your life won’t necessarily be the things you do. They’ll also be the things that happen to you. No, I’m not saying you can’t take action to affect the outcome of your life. You have to take action. And you will. But never forget that on any day, you could step out the front door and your whole life can change forever.

You see, the universe has a plan, kids. And that plan is always in motion. A butterfly flaps its wings and it starts to rain. It’s a scary thought, but it’s also kind of wonderful. All these little parts of the machine constantly working, making sure that you end up exactly where you’re supposed to be, exactly when you’re supposed to be there. The right place, at the right time.”

- Ted Mosby from How I Met Your Mother

Why Can’t We Just Leave?

I got this, what should I call it? A poem? Well, it might be a poem, or lyrics, or whatever, from Oskar, who posted it to Asisten Labkom’s mailing list. It originally says “via some blog which links to another blog that links to another blog and again and again” in the end. Since I “eat blind salary” (p.s: translate it into Bahasa Indonesia), I traced it down and ended up to this blog of Christopher Gutierrez, the author. I don’t mean to be “latah” (anyone knows the proper translation?) to post this, but I kinda like how it sounds and how I want to do what it told me but ironically can’t. So, here it is:

Call It A Dare
Christopher Gutierrez

Leave home
Leave familiar
Leave the course you’re on because you never wanted to be there in the first place.
Leave him
Leave her
Leave because they don’t appreciate your love, now do do they really?

Leave working for someone else’s dream
Leave the shitty scene
Leave your comfortable couch
Leave convention
Respectability
Responsibility
Obligation.

Leave the guilt
sorrow
abuse
violence
rape
Leave it in the past because fuck them for attempting to ruin your future.
Leave apprehension
Leave intimidation
Leave “what’s right”, because who are they to tell you anyway.

Leave glasgow
Leave new york
Leave miami
Leave chicago
Definitely leave LA, because there is an adventure
a plane
Bus
Train
School application
Job application
away.

Leave soul killing jobs
Leave negative people
Leave dead relationships

You are wasting your time
Your life
Your talent
Your love
Your opportunity

And with each passing day you slowly lose your shine
your glow
your spark
your fight
your heart.

You talk about it all the time.
Just fucking leave…
And find yourself.

Then, why can’t I just f-ing leave? Haaaahhhh….. I’m such a coward…..

Listening to Sting

If I caught the world in an hourglass
Saddled up the moon so we could ride

Oh, Sting… you’re so full of sh*t, yet I love you so much…
