I found this poem the other day...Seems quite accurate.
When men fight the darkness in their life
It's not of artillery or verbal or mere emotional strife
It's just that darkness, that cruelty, that sadness
Coldly wondering whether this darkness have a name?
Wondering how it found us, the cruelty, the hatred!
Like a thief in the night, wondering how it stole their souls
Do men embrace it, or seek it? or it just finds them
That sadness, the loneliness, that which grips men's hearts
What happened to men, to us, to the world?
That men send their children into the world
Like young men to war, hoping for safe return
But deep down knowing that some will be lost on the way
Consumed by the faint lines of evident cruelty
Consumed by the deadly shadows
Swallowed whole by the darkness
Does this darkness have a name?
RONALD K SSEKAJJA
A piece of my thoughts and a piece of sadness combined are the major elements of my blog. Thoughts, fears, and struggles all in here.

Swept of my feet
Have you ever seen one of these romantic guys where the guy hugs, lifts her and turns her around? Well, i got that, literally got swept off my feet. The unexpected moment where someone randomly says "Come on, hug properly" and from a simple hug it turns into that.
And there, for just a few seconds, you are the girl in the movie.
The girl that gets the happy ending.
The one who ends up with the guy.
And there, for just a few seconds, you are the girl in the movie.
The girl that gets the happy ending.
The one who ends up with the guy.
And after your 10 seconds are up, you're back to earth. Back to your reality, no longer the girl that ends up with the guy.
Or are you?

Fighting over Chips
Today I managed to fall out with my best friend over chips.Over freaking Pringles! " Last time you bought the one with blablah flavour and I bought the one you took this time. "No you didn't" That was the point of the fall out, who bought what flavour...
Of course it takes two to dance, meaning that we both took a part in a development of a conversation that ended up in a fight. The main reason is that she was annoyed for I believe I'm always right.But that's not the case at all.
I believe that I'm not always right, but I'm rarely wrong.
Cheers to Meaningless Fights.

"Everyone goes away"
I've been accused, more than once, that I'm insensitive. "Sometimes you don't get it when you hurt people with what you say" "Plain rude" They would say.
But does that make you lot? What if you say crude things more often to me than you understand, what does that make you?
That's why I like polite people. "Please" & "Thank you" are actually two of my favourite words. So, what about next time we talk on the phone you don't say "Everyone and everything goes away from you. You are losing everyone".
That might be a good start..

Confession No1
They say that when life gives you lemons, blah blah blah stuff.
I don't like lemons and I don't like when life gives them...I want oranges. Lots and lots of oranges!
PS: I like life as much as I like lemons...

Funk
Funk has a variety of meanings, in this specific case it means depressed mood. That thing when you don't want to do anything? When you think that you have something to think about but you don't know what it is?
A combination of both these things.Maybe it's related to the fact that i'm staying indoors all day, surfing online and studying..Just need to get out of this funk...

Benjamin
Last night on summer school a friend told me

"You have to succeed" he said
"You are the most beautiful person I've ever seen" he said
"Even though you are shorter than me, you are way taller than me" he said
Damn you, Benjamin, you are a sweetheart...

Ignorance is a bliss, indeed
When people take notice of an unfortunate situation, they have two choices. Either help or ignore. However, either way they have to live on with what they have or haven't done.
Maybe when you are a toddler and you know nothing, no concerns or responsibilities, maybe that's when you're truly blissfull.

Phase
In physics you can describe the situation of a ball or rock or whatever the exercise asks for by saying in Phase 1 is blah blah blah...in Phase 2 is blahblah blah mathematical formulas blahblah blah
When it comes to people though we tend to say "He is sad" rather than "It appears that the emotion of sadness has overwhelmed him" or " He is in phase of denial/fear etc and he soon shall preced in the state of acceptance". We say this simple phrases in terms that people can understand our feelings with no misunderstandings, yet even by using so plain words, things happen.
So, if I say I think I'm in phase where things that doesn't cocnern me happen and I'm just an observer, what would you understand? I feel boredom, lonely, self-cenetered? No of them?
Conclusion: I should use simpler terms

A Turtle In My Yard
There is a turtle in my yard. Of course it's not any ordinary turtle, it's a very mysterious introvert turtle and if it was just an ordinary turtle it wouldn't live in my yard. Rarely do I ever see him (yes i decided he is a he with absolutely no proof whatsoever) and he is very fast, therefore his name is Speedy Gonzales (yes like the cartoon). I've never seen any turtle move as fast as he does, sometimes he also tries to bite my shoes but fails. Now that i think about it, maybe his middle name should be Flash (yes!Like the super hero).

For That Smile Of Yours
If only your heart hadn't been broken
If only nobody had crashed you at once
would you still have stayed the same?
or was it your excuse to change your ways?
Were I to choose between your pain
and your kind soul
I'd make a wish to take it all away
that unfair past of yours
I'd put you in a crystal palace
where nobody would be able
neither see nor touch
your beautiful thoughts
your fierce wounds
Take time, heal your tears
a prince will come
surely,not an English one
since it's already past time
So here I am
I'll grant a wish
anything that'd make that smile
appear again
Only for that smile of yours
i'd make real,everything your heart
wished came true
If only nobody had crashed you at once
would you still have stayed the same?
or was it your excuse to change your ways?
Were I to choose between your pain
and your kind soul
I'd make a wish to take it all away
that unfair past of yours
I'd put you in a crystal palace
where nobody would be able
neither see nor touch
your beautiful thoughts
your fierce wounds
Take time, heal your tears
a prince will come
surely,not an English one
since it's already past time
So here I am
I'll grant a wish
anything that'd make that smile
appear again
Only for that smile of yours
i'd make real,everything your heart
wished came true

Dear Death
Black leaves fall in my head
but i ain't feeling, any of them
cold and fierce is my grief
for the long last life of mine
Come in with your scythe
take my soul back to the dead
put me down, time to sleep
no time to waste on Earth
A man with black hood
dark red eyes surround me
as if you were trying
for the very first time
to see the meaning of my essence
Dear Death, would mind coming early?
people ask me of christmas,
of happiness and misery
as if i know the difference
in my twisted dark thoughts
Wind full of emotion
awakes my dreams
leaving the velvet of death
hanging by threads
but i ain't feeling, any of them
cold and fierce is my grief
for the long last life of mine
Come in with your scythe
take my soul back to the dead
put me down, time to sleep
no time to waste on Earth
A man with black hood
dark red eyes surround me
as if you were trying
for the very first time
to see the meaning of my essence
Dear Death, would mind coming early?
people ask me of christmas,
of happiness and misery
as if i know the difference
in my twisted dark thoughts
Wind full of emotion
awakes my dreams
leaving the velvet of death
hanging by threads

"My brother was fine"
Were you to make a mistake, what would that be?
Teasing a girl about her long gone brother or be left in ignorance of your actions?
What's more tempting? Less hurting?

Tonight I'm An Octopus.
I just feel insecure, unstable...Suddenly everything in my life seems to be going on by, in front of my and I can't do anything about it, just play the lead role of my life. That's sounds pretty strange i suppose.

Rolling in the grave will be fun
My sister has never been a fan of books or a casual reader. Trying to get her to read anything was my ultimate goal. However, it seems like I didn't make it in time, since she's now in university and has read less than 20 books in her entire 18 years of existence (including childish fairy tails). Yet few weeks ago, she started reading books and making a reasearch in order to write an essay, concerning identity. Guess what: Not only did she find out that her opinions are similar to those of Aristotelis, but also that she wants to start reading books of Plato and other philosophers.....Sounds like fun to me!

Good things happen in movies
Some nights ago a little elf came in my dreams and whispered in my ear: "Stop dreaming foolish things, dream about unrealistic things that'll make you happy, without the hope they'll actually happen. Imagining that something will change in real world, is a waste of time and of your gray matter.
