Being tagged and compelled to answer. Why?

I have been tagged. Yeah yeah, I have. And I will buy into it this time. This is not like those nonesense email chains. NO NO NO it is about YOU!. How can ONE be stupid.
(OK, for the record, some people should never answer this question. They would be in danger of opening their mouth and proving us HOW stupid they can actually be) Not you, my dear reader, of course not. :)



I am thinking of...
My TO DO list today.
I know it is quite a GEEK thing to do, but unlike some other people, I DO have TO DO lists; CHECKLISTS; MindMaps & other management tools to help me go through my tasks. SO WHAT!?

I want to...
Start at fresh in this 2007.
But then I wonder what “at fresh” means. Is it a clean inbox? Is it with new wardrobe? Is it in a new location? Is it with a new job? What is it to start at fresh?

I wish...
Everyone a great 2007!
This is a selfish wish because EVERYONE also includes ME! Plus, what comes around goes around. So I hope this GREAT 2007 also applies to me!

I said...
I didn’t care, but it seems I actually do.

I miss...
Being a kid and having this free spirit where situations are always relative and are put into perspective in a naïve, yet efficient way.
We adults have developed a nasty habit of dramatizing everything. FACTS are PROBLEMS and affect us. And the main reason why we get frustrated is because we cannot solve them.
NEWSFLASH! You cannot solve FACTS. Like: “We have a problem: It is raining! What are we gonna do?”.
NEEEEEH! Wrooooong! It is NOT a problem; it is a FACT: “It is raining” It is not like you can call someone to stop the rain or anything. NOPE. It will continue to rain until it stops. Period. So you do not have a PROBLEM, you are facing a FACT! What you do with that fact is the important thing. Right? It requires a change of mindset and I am working on it.

I hear...
The ticking of the typing on the keyboard coming from my colleagues working stations, and as I focus on it the sound it gets louder and louder. It makes me feel I am trapped in this corporate box in a 7th floor of a building in the downtown of this tiny island in the middle of South East Asia.
And my colleagues keep typing; and I am still trapped. Ticking… trapped… ticking... trapped... TICKING… TRAPPED!!!! AAAHHH!!!!!!

I wonder...
Too much sometimes. I think I should think less.
Then, I am thinking again!. However, thinking of thinking less is good; it is GOOD for you. Like chocolate, or shopping, or an apple a day… all GOOD for you.
See!? I am still thinking. I think I should stop right now.
Still thinking…Oh my... vicious cycle!

I regret...
Having trusted this one person. I shouldn’t have.
But shouldn’t have/couldn’t have cannot be changed and they become a thorn in our heart and mind. So I just forgive myself and move on.
See!? This is GOOD for you, too! Like yoga; or celery juice; or sleep lots.

I am...
Wearing a brad new tie I bought back in OCT. I had never worn it before. And I discovered I have one too many ties.
OH MY!!?... What have I just said… “I have one too many ties!” There are like 16 things wrong in that sentence. One is NEVER short of ties, for there will ALWAYS be new ones you can have! I dance...As if none was watching… but I know they are!

I sing...
All the time. And I like my singing.
(Hey! It does not mean I am good at it. I just like it)
I am currently working on a couple of songs I would like to master.

I cry...
I actually do not cry all that much. But if I do, it means I am terribly hurt; upset; or the movie I am watching is one of those “crying type”.
By the way, crying at the movies is cathartical, it is also GOOD for you (like the scoop of cream on top of the ice cream topped with the cherry).
I want to think people go to the movies to experience feelings they would not be able to experience in their real lives. And somehow you cry as an innate reaction to that; or they recall feelings from previous situations.
I think crying in the movies is natural; NOT crying is unnatural!. Why would you hold your tears? To cry alone at home? COME ON! Let them go! That’s WHY they are tears to begin with: to be cried off. If you do not cry them, they will get stuck in your eyes! For what… for better use?! HELLO! That’s their purpose in life: popping out of your eyes and rolling down your cheeks… so CRY baby, CRY!
Think of “BAMBI” and his mom; think “I AM SAM”; think “WOODY ALLEN” - not because his movies are sad, what’s sad is his fashion sense!

I am not always...
As sociable as people think I am.
I sometimes love/need being in my secret little happy corner of the world.
Where is it?. Well, if I told you it would no longer be secret, would it Sherlock?

I write...
Yes, I do.
What do you think I have been doing so far, Einstein?

I confuse...
People at times.
But it is OK, enigma adds spice to your persona. An Aura of magic is always needed or else, you become a boring person with no magic aura. The WORST thing that could even happened to you.
Well, THAT and wearing brown shoes with black belt. OH MY!... God forbids it, ok!? Knock on wood it will never happen to you…

I need...
To go somewhere on a plane soon.
I am on this ridiculous travel withdrawal these days. I miss the smell of the cabin of the planes; the phony “welcome on board” type of smiles from the air attendants; the first class gifts you steal on the way out of the plane (or is it just me? COME ON!). I also miss playing the game : “what will they serve this time?” which main options are “chicken or beef” or in Asia “Rice or rice” – so you always win! GREAT GAME! I highly encourage you to play it. Especially fun if you NOT know the person besides you. To add even more fun bet something like your earphones or the safety life jacket underneath the seat. GREAT GAME, I tell you!

I should try...
Durian again!
If you do not know what it is GOOGLE it and you will see. Too bad you would not smell it! Or maybe it IS a good thing you will not smell it after all.

I finish...
Yes, I do.
Always.

I tag...
Nobody. I think it is both annoying as well as disrespectful.
What do you care what people are thinking, what their fears are, who they think of, etc etc? Who are you? JOAN RIVERS?. LUCHO AVILES?
Ha ha kidding. I think it is fun, but you need to be in the mood for answering…
Don’t you somehow feel you NEED to complete all these TAGs people send you?
If you don’t complete them, you feel guilty for not having done so. Stupid! I know. I did not say it wasn’t. However, oddly enough, I do not feel guilty when I cut the “READ THIS – IMPORTANT – PERSON IN NEED – DONATION” type of chain emails. And by CUT I mean deleting the email without even reading it. It is like an AUTOMATED TRASH MAIL FILTER mechanism; an innate reaction to crap emails.

Anyway…HAPPY NEW YEAR, PEOPLE!
