[. water .]

long time no write

!>.>.> Happy 2006 <.<.!

"We lead our lives like water flowing down a hill, going mere or less in one direction until we splash into something that forces us to find a new course."
- from Memoirs of A Geisha by Arthur Golden

This post is not about my comment on the movie Memoirs of a Geisha. Though it was a pretty good movie, the book is so much better. =) yeeeaaahhhh Golden! lol

Rather, it's on the above quote that I truly adore.
i fell in love with this quote from the first time i read it
it's so elegant, symbolic , imagery-like and applicable

yes i do feel that i lead my life like water uncontrollably sliding down the hill.... weeeeeeeee!
and at different times on that path, it's boring, scary, horrible, exciting, rewarding and pretty fun

and like a stream, it carries things - tiny particles, pollutants, sediments, living things etc - and drops it off at one point

yes i do feel like that i've been splashed into something and i need to make a decision

and my problem is... i dunno how much to carry and when to drop it off
hmmm... maybe that is half the problem... the other half is... i like to have a bit of freedom
okay, i'm selfish, i like to have quite a bit of freedom
so that when something pops up i can still carry it
wow, i'm sucha pig
arghhhh

okay, that's enough rambling for the first post of the year
all i know is that i've lost all capability to write this coming assignment =/
