    but it just don't work like that
    i know that healing takes time
    hey, even your heart has a pace
    but how much time are you gonna take?
    too much would be a mistake.

    so you can cry

    critiSIZE

    from the looks of it,
    we don't seem to be our own worst critics.
     
    after delving a little too deeply
    into pop culture (i.e. MSN Videos on the Aniston VS Jolie
    which led to music vids of PCD, Britney Spears, and Beyonce.)
     
    and somewhere along the way
    i come into the comments people post
    on the videos.
     
    at first i thought it was just for PCD,
    'cause they did the whole pole-dancing on busses
    but nope,
    it was like haters unite!
     
    they were everywhere!
     
    hateful comments like
    "wow she looks flat in that orange top"
    from people like haloLUVER87
     
    i remember numerous question marks
    popping out over my head.
     
    ???
     
    where was this coming from!
     
    weren't we all taught that
    if we had nothing nice to say
    then don't say it?
     
    who are we to judge
    to criticize on others,
    especially strangers?
     
    fame doesn't make people inhumane.
    it doesn't make people insusceptible to criticism.
     
    =)
    just my two cents.
    (i'll admit i'm a hater sometimes too)

    serendipity

        
     
    "Jonathan Trager, prominent television producer for ESPN, died last night from complications of losing his soul mate and his fiancee.
    He was 35 years old. Soft-spoken and obsessive, Trager never looked the part of a hopeless romantic.
    But, in the final days of his life, he revealed an unknown side of his psyche.
    This hidden quasi-Jungian persona surfaced during the Agatha Christie-like pursuit of his long reputed soul mate,
    a woman whom he only spent a few precious hours with.
    Sadly, the protracted search ended late Saturday night in complete and utter failure.
    Yet even in certain defeat, the courageous Trager secretly clung to the belief that
    life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences. Nuh-uh.
    But rather, its a tapestry of events that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan.
    Asked about the loss of his dear friend, Dean Kansky, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and executive editor of the New York Times,
    described Jonathan as a changed man in the last days of his life.
    "Things were clearer for him," Kansky noted.
    Ultimately Jonathan concluded that if we are to live life in harmony with the universe,
    we must all possess a powerful faith in what the ancients used to call "fatum", what we currently refer to as destiny."
     
     
     (no, the protagonist of Serendipity does not die
    and yes, he is reunited with his soul mate.
    i don't believe in unhappy endings =)
