Craziness is underrated.

I tried cutting my own hair today, and learnt a valuable lesson.

Teenage rebellion and scissors should never be put together.

Although it doesn't look that bad, really. Ok, maybe it does scream out "this person tried cutting his own hair" or "this guy knows a blind barber" but still.

Which makes me think, does a barber cut his own hair or does he get someone else to do it? I've noticed if you tell a barber you got your previous haircut from some other barber, first he's going to thrash your hair cut and then ask why you didn't come to him earlier. Then how can their hair-cutting egos stand someone else touching their toupe'? Once I actually saw a barber cutting his own hair through a mirror ... see what I'm talking about?

I got the idea from this weeds episode where Silas cuts his own hair. And even though it's obvious he had a million dollar hair dresser cut it for him before the director said "action!", I thought if he could do it, so can I!

I'm not even going to elaborate on how wrong I was to make that assumption. Very wrong, should cut it. (no puns intended)

But there's a lesson to be learnt here.

Even though all males have the false idea that they can drive like Michael Schumacher and navigate like a GPS system, you have to realize, you can NOT cut your own hair.

Unless you were looking for the kind of hair I was looking for and suceeded! Craziness is underrated.

Theft.

Theives should be burnt alive. Their hands shouldn't be cut off, they should be nailed to a wooden wall.

Some of my friends decided to wake me up, and pay me a visit. I obidiently, woke up, washed up, drank a glass of juice and proceeded to leave my house, only in time to remember I was leaving my cell phone at home.

So, I rushed back to my room, looked at both my Nokia N82 and Nokia E61i, which were both connected to a charger, and had this weird feeling. Should I really take both phones out? No, just one is necessary. So I grabbed the N82 and went downstairs.

So, I get in the car, say my His' and Hellos' and the driver starts driving. I spot this weird guy, just standing there as if he's waiting for something. Didn't really pay any attention to him, just acknowledged his presence.

So, we park the car, and my friend asks if I have any credit on my cell phone, because he was dry. I hand him my phone, he passes it on to the driver, who's window was rolled down.

In a matter of multiseconds, I hear someone running towards us. Before I could think, blink, or start my arsenal of verbal abuses, a figure wearing all black grabs the phone from the driver's hands and runs for it.

Hysteria. Confusion. A total loss of words. No, slash that. FUCK!

I saw it happening, I said to myself. Nothing can be done now, just let it slide Danish.

There went my phone ... my precious :(

But it wasn't all about the phone. It isn't. I've been promised a new phone, any that I put my fingers on, but that doesn't change the fact that someone just put his hands on MY phone and took off with it, the mother ...

What was his nationality, the mother? Does it really matter. Not like theives are of a specific ethincity. This one was saudi though. I've about had it with this country. *sigh*

People, keep your phones in your pockets!

Lifestyle of Depression

I've just noticed. I get so depressed after opening my Windows Live Messenger window, to find over 20 contacts, with more than half of them having depressing personal messages.

It's human nature, maybe. Or at least it is mine, to get depressed when I'm surrounded by people in angst, or even if it's just one person with a problem. So what is the solution to that? Do I stop caring about the rest of the world and continue on with my life, being happy even if I see someone I rarely even talk to, being depressed with life?

That's more than just difficult, it sounds a lot easier to do, than it is to actually carry out. Am I even making sense to anyone right now, or is it just me that feels this way?

Maybe, we should all stop being depressed, look for the better things in life, and just create personal messages about happiness, keeping all our angst to ourselves. Think of it as an aura you give out, a beacon you send out to the universe. If you're sending out messages of hate or depression, what can you expect to get back from the universe?

If you're depressing the daylights out of everyone around you, how can you expect to be happy yourself?

We reap what we sow, and if the only tool you have is a hammer, everything turns into a nail. It's a lot better to look good, than to feel good. Even if you're just pretending to be happy for a while, you'll soon realize that you're not pretending anymore.

I'm not talking about bottling up your feelings, because that has dire effects, really, I know that by experience. But what we should do is, not let our depression and anger take the best of us on the long run. So you're angry or depressed, go ahead and break something or cry your heart out, but let it stop at that. Don't let your sadness take over the rest of your day, on the long run.

We only have such a little time to live, and no one is ever promised tomorrow ... what's the use of not having fun, in the now and here? Do you really want to waste every precious little moment you have, mourning over things?

I, personally, think life is too short to even blend it, let alone be cornered by depression and angst. Depression can soon turn into a lifestyle if you're not careful. I'm talking all by experience, believe me.

But in the end, of course, always know that your life is always in your own hands. Man writes his own fate. Our ends, justify our means.

Oh, and no need to take any of this seriously :) Life is too short to be taken seriously, too... lol. Just stop frowning if you missed your bus or burnt your toast early in the morning, you still have 3 more meals to think about and many more rides to catch ...

Hope everyone has a nice day!

How cool.

Other than that, I remembered a while ago I recieved some chain mail that said something about figuring out your personality based on your email address, looking at how you placed your underscores, how many there were, and if you used numbers in your email or not.

So, I grew curious as to find out what my email address meant (because I don't remember the result from that chain mail) and I googled for a while, but unfortunately I could not find the same exact thing.

What I did find, however, was what your personality says according to your domain name:

What Does Your Email Address Say About You?

Go ahead and check it out, even if it's not the most accurate, maybe you'll still find something to laugh at.

Oh, and if you do know where I can see the thing I was originally looking for, do tell me!
