Writing is a Performance

Quote of the day:

" The first and perhaps the most important requirement for a successful writing performance—and writing is a performance, like singing an aria or dancing a jig—is to understand the nature of the occasion". STEPHEN GREENBLATT

My New Alternative To Worry

My new alternative to worry is meditation and so far it has been exceedingly benefiting. I learnt about meditation few days ago during which my worry status was killing me...i worried about everything and nothing but now that's like half way solved because I meditate.

I found out that the same amount spent on worrying over one's problem is exactly the same as the one used in meditating over the word of God or over nothing.

Easy and fun!

This is a Confession...

Okay, I'll just put it up here because it definitely appears noone out there wants to listen to me and few that do don't seem to understand my rants yet again.....I mean, how do I even explain it here?

Well, it's simple, I notice I've become too emotional lately..as in, too damn emotional especially about personal stuff and fashion(great fashion content, piece, item, idea, etc simply blows my mind off beyond the sky). I get so emotional to the extent that I feel the shivers in my veins. I feel so concerned, involved (I guess that's called empathy) about everything, why? I ask myself.

I sure need answers, but where, from who, myself?

Still searching but while at it I have this strong feeling I'm transcending into someone else or something entirely different from what I am presently. Thoughts like "am I turning into another being, say a vampire (..and that's what happens when you've seen seasons 1& 2 of vampire dairies) but then, it all started before I spent a whole weekend watching Vampire Dairies (nice movie btw).

So then what is it?

I am confused, messed up, wandering, asking questions, thinking...errm, errmm, okay let me say I'm just too EMOTIONAL.

*Hold up*..Let me Google emotions....

Really... I Don't Have a Title

I know this isn’t right or perhaps selfish of me, I’ve left this blog alone for too long considering that I started here first after which I started - http://debuzzevents.blogspot.com/ but I think from this moment forth I’ll blog more often I shall truly bear every bit of my inner most burdens…well, I will, I should….so be it.

I shall share every bit, nothing held back: my silly thoughts about people around me, about the guy that thinks he’s so fantastic (can I just get off this word btw), that lady that thinks she’s got it all but it appears all belongs to her husband, my mind that keeps worrying about that tall, fit, fair complexioned, cute guy around my office and billions of other thoughts.
This blog shall now truly bear all my thoughts, my rants (good, bad and ugly too) and maybe thoughts in people’s head…yes! I hear others thoughts too.
*just kidding*
No I’m NOT!

Picture

The sun is gone
The mist is here
I search for long, now I found the right picture.

I was always my own
Till u spilled the seal of fortune on me
Just so I could be yours
Away I flee
You shared so much fun with me
You struggled to make your point
Even when they felt so pure
I still felt insecure
Not for the words
But for faults I dread to restore

Please pardon my silly thoughts and
Free your breathing aids
See yourself soar,
See yourself soar with no halt
Taste the broth and realize
I have long lost my peace to dual

I let it out long ago
I let it out to the breeze
Though it hummed my heart like a hide of honeybees
I still let it be

I reached back into the wild
And recalled the colour of your hair
The smell of your hair
That makes me want to err
Everything I've ever heard

You freed my heart
Set my mind on fire
I restricted though
But you kept on instead
I fought, I lust but after all
Gave up
Though you felt injured
Screamed out into the future
I didn’t take it to be a feature
But with seldom tick-tuck I claimed my freedom.

With much effort you tried to work us
In and out you tried
But each time I cut u short
Not that I meant to be tough
Just that I had lots of nightmares yet to become hot dreams

I see in the long distance
Pictures of you and I
Just for the while it ran
After which we transformed
You left with no concern
No care nor farewell

Now I realize your sweetness
The fairness of your truthfulness
I see the glow in your eyes
The sincerity in your brown eyes
Saying lots with little expression
God, how I love those eyes.

You saw me meander by circumstance
You took me and led me towards fun
Fun, which u call the essence of life
I do not believe we met by chance
But nature as they say, worked out our destiny.

I scream,
Loudly scream to myself
That you and me
Will always be a dream

The sun has gone
The moon is here
The time has come
For me to bare
But you will
Always be here
Here, within my air.

A Beautiful Morning Focus

So earlier this morning I was thinking about 'Focus'. Yeah, focus as in the power of concentration, the ability to remain not just determined to a dream but one that maintains your focus on the dream.

Even though I was late for work something in me just made me pause for a while to stare diligently at the charming blue sky for some time right there inside my compound. However, I noticed two amazing things that so far has come to be of great positive impact to my once bothered mind. Here:

(1) First I noticed a bird flying high up in the sky, I stared at it for a while; I watched it fly forth, backwards, in circles and downwards, I enjoyed the whole sight.

(2) Then suddenly I noticed very tiny flies flying in circles or say clusters few metres away from my eyes, I took a quick glance at the flies then returned to the bird. I did that 2,3 times after which I found the little flies interesting and thought to just take few seconds to notice them proper. I did. But when I returned to my main focus - the bird- it was gone.

I was sad, I felt I just lost something tangible. I felt I lost a major substance, deal or even if I may say, project. It however seemed like a coincidence because yesterday night I was pondering deeply on a serious issue which needed fast intervention. And this morning I found a perfect illustration that gave me a clear answer to my list of questions/worries.

See?

Lesson learnt: Because we (humans) bother alot about the little things that really do not matter we end up forgetting the very tangible and needful that need our most concerns.
So here it is, FOCUS ON THE NEEDFUL, THE IMPORTANT AND SEE THE TINY WORRIES HANDLE THEMSELVES.

Good morning and enjoy a beautiful day.
