I Hate It When They Do That: You Did It Again By Kylie Minogue

I remember I long time ago during my down periods when my family tricked me into an activity that was "supposed" to straighten me out. I found myself participating in an activity that I really didn't like. Since then, one of the effects that it had on me was a paranoid fear of being forced into something that I didn't want to do. Well tonight, I was once again "conned" into a situation that I detested. Everytime they do that, it really pisses me off! Whenever I see myself getting into these despicable tricks, I remember the song "You Did It Again" by Kylie Minogue.

Whether you're forced to join an activity that you hate or even made to go to a person that you detest or worse, having to be the "human shield" because some people need something and they can't approach that person are all the things that fit into this hateful category which I really hate so much! The funny part about it is that the ones who promoted this "activity" are now the ones speaking against it. They are like leopards who can change their spots. In short, the best term to describe these jerks are "sell-outs". They can make a killing selling products on the Home Shopping Network.

As I have blogged before, another thing that pisses me off is when angry people piss on you and not on those who really caused it. They remind of those people who go on killing sprees just because they had a bad day. Well my answer to that is F@%#K YOU TOO! Self-rightheous a@##$-holes who think they know it all really pisses me off! Then when the anger is over and the mess is all over the place, they wash their hands of it and forget about what they did and you know what: I REALLY HATE THAT THEY DO AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!!!

All About The Style In The 80's : Sharp Dressed Man By ZZ Top

I don't know if it was because it was generation but I always regarded the 80's as one of the most fashionable decades. I can never the sudden change on how people looked during that time. Pastel colors, loafers and slacks were endless back then. Whenever I saw most of my classmates during a function, it was like everybody was trying to outdo the other in terms of wardrobe. When think about how fashion conscious people were, I remember the song "Sharp Dressed Man" by ZZ Top.

This ranks up there with my entry of Blondie's song "Call Me". You can tell who was the social guy from the outcast. Guess where I fit in? You guesssed it, the later! I was very much a loner back then and didn't care much for what was in and what was out. As I've said before, I went against the flow and stayed with the few who chose to live by that code in a very high society environment.

Going back to the music, as much as I liked and enjoyed listening to ZZTop with their hits during the 80's, you can tell how the prevailing norm effects even the music. As good a blues and rock band as they were, I really started to appreciate them when I listened to their earlier hits which were deeper and more edgy. Be that as it may, atleast they were still able to retain their signature tune even in a very shallow decade. Although they were not that deep, it was still ZZ Top. Trying to stick to who they are and reach out to new and alien audience at the time was hard act to pull but they did and I tip my hat to them.

Hard Working/Putting Everying That I Got Song: Baba O'Riley By The Who

With the recession and other economic woes baring down on us, things are tough all over. A lot of people are really breaking their backs and their savings just to make ends meet. A lot of people are turning to socialist economic models to help solve the current economic crisis. Yet are those out there who refuse to let the pressure break them and no matter how hard things are out there, they are still doing the best that they can for themselves and their families. These guys remind us that tough people will always outlast the tough times. When I think about these tough people who keep trucking, I feel like listening to the Who's song "Baba O'Riley".

The first part of this song really blows me away. Who wouldn't be awed with that line of guy fighting for his meals and breaking his back into his living. With tough times upon us, we have to choose to either give up or fight to restore what once good and prosperous back to society. I was never that clever a person, but I always put my heart and soul into everything that I do and if I fail, l want to learn from my mistakes and make sure that I succeed in my next try. I don't to see things that I dreamed of and worked hard for get taken away from me. I'm at that point where there's too much at stake and I really to make my dreams come true.

Right now I'm trying to learn all that I can and use all the resources that I have at my disposal to their full potential. I also seek advice from others and learn from what they have to say. I have to admit that putting what you learn to practice is not always easy but it's better than not trying at all. I have a long way to go but I will figure out how to make things work to get by during these hard times. No matter how tough things are I've seen others who have overcome because they were tough people who outlast tough times and I aim to do the same thing.

The Time Is Now: It's About Time By The Lemonheads

I keep babbling about how hard things are yet, I always find myself in the same position from where I started. In worse case situations, when things fall apart, it becomes a total shutdown from the trauma of the loss. During those times, I felt like I was a zombie or worse somebody who was dragged into hell where the torment was nonstop. Right now things are a bit okay but once again I'm in square one. Right now what I want is real change and it's high time it happened. The need to really have real change is something that I really want to happen now and that's what's on my mind when I hear the song "It's About Time" by The Lemonheads.

I keep hearing myself say "isn't it about time that you straighten your act out?" Looking back, I have no one to blame but myself and I'm trying to pick the pieces and make do with what I got. They say life gives you lemons than make lemonade; well I got enough lemons to stock a warehouse. It's just a matter making the lemonade that's left I guess. Right now time is gold and I shouldn't be wasting it. I know that time is gold and a lot of it has gone down the drain with no results. It's obvious that there's little time left so I better get started while there is still time.

I'm tired of seeing things fall apart and get hurt from it. What I really want is real change and I've got to move if I really want that to happen. I know I'm hesitating but I also know that if the rewards are great, then go do it. I really want things to work now and I don't want to let anything ruin it this time around. It's about time that I take charge of things cause I'm tired of this bad cycle and I want to break it permanently.

Planning Rather Than Making Things Up As We Go By: The Way By FastBall

As much as we want to cruise down life without any care, eventually there comes a time where you have to start coming up with a plan on what you want to do in the future. Even if it feels so annoying, when people who care about you keep asking you what you're going to with your life, they're just doing so because they care about you. As many would find out later on, when you don't have a plan, things are going to get very difficult very quick. Later when things start to pile up, you'll be lucky if you are able to make things up as you go by. When I hear the song "The Way"by FastBall, it reminds me that you have to have a plan in life, no matter how carefree you are.

Planning for the future should always be on everyone's mind, especially when we grow older. Sometimes we have to really sit down and make a decision on what it is we want to do. It's not enough that we say that this is what we want to do and this is what we want to be. You also have to know what you need to do in order to make that plan work and stand by your decision no matter how strange it may sound to others. If you can't do that then it will always be be dream and nothing more. More importantly, if things don't work out, always have a back up plan because sometimes what we want may not be meant for us.

Making things up as time goes by can work for the moment, but in the long run you'll going nowhere. The hard part about not having a plan or a purpose is when you will like you're going through life but things don't feel right. Deep inside you feel empty and you find you're living a life you don't like and you're find yourself more dead than alive. Right now trying to have a plan and getting it done is what I'm trying to do. I know I'm a bit late but better late than never.

Don't Mistreat Those Who Support You: Long Train Running Late By The Doobie Brothers

One of the things that I have learned in life is that you should never hurt people who support you and care for you. It's good to be kind to those who hate you but always be kind to those who help you. A lot of us out there take people who care for them like replaceable objects. They only realize how important they are when they are no longer there and the love that they have given is gone. When I hear the song "Long Train Running" by The Doobie Brothers, it reminds me of this important lesson.

It's ironic that we take for granted those who have helped us through our bad days and it's even worse when treat them like dirt. There was a time when I did take someone for granted and now that that person is gone, not a day goes by that I don't miss that person or regret that I should have done something in return. People who stand by us through good and bad are one of the best gifts that the Almighty would ever give to a person because people like that are gems among rocks who stand out from all the fakes for their honest compassion. We often forget that people like this are among the reasons why we get as far as we have in life. When we abuse their kindness and treat them poorly, it is probably the worst thing that a person can give in return and mind you there are consequences to such terrible behavior.

It is sad that such people are treated that way after all that they have done for others. We should never ignore or scoff at the way they stand by us because such devotion is now becoming a rare quality. Especially now when most people only care about themselves. It is through their love that we have got by which is why we should never treat them like trash. They helped us when nobody else would so take good care of them as they have taken care of you. And if you do take them for granted, just think where would you be now without their love and think hard.

When The Time Is Right : Settle Down My By Men At Work

I know that at my age I've reached the crossroads of my life and it really stinks that I still haven't gotten things together yet. As I have mentioned before, I spent most of my life trying to finish my studies that I felt that there were many things that I took for granted and now I find myself so incomplete. What's worse is that right now there are so many things that need looking after and a lot of times it could be overwhelming. I know I'm not young anymore and by this time things are supposed to be in order but right now I have a hard time trying to do that. So when I hear Men At Work's song "Settle Down My Boy Settle Down" I'm trying to achieve just that.

A lot of things have happened and in all that time, what could have been didn't. All things that I didn't do and all those dreams that were never meant to be have made me feel incomplete and unsatisfied. The funny part about it is that there are others out there like me and even my brother told that a lot of classmates in his batch haven't settled down yet. With all these missing pieces and this feeling of being incomplete hanging heavy on my mind, I just can't settle down yet. I feel that there still things that I need to do and though I know that it's been long overdue, I want to take time and try to find what it is that I feel I have lost.

Right now I'm concentrating on my work and the needs of the people at home. I am trying to work on something would at least give increase my income and when things get a little stable, go back and cross old bridges and make peace with the past. I know I've made a lot of mistakes in the past, but I'm still here and while I'm still here, there still a chance that I will be able to find the answers and things that I need to put myself at ease. Life is too short and I want to atleast feel whole while there's still time. When I'm at peace with myself, then I'll think about settling down.
