I can show you the world, Shining, shimmering, splendid..

So it has been a hot couple of weeks indeed and what a way to trump the dehydrated public with a few bath tubs of rain. I personally enjoy the rain very much as it's soothing, refreshing, (insert synonym here, here and here). Loveliest of all though, it just smells so.... nice. As if for a brief moment nature is actually pure; untainted by man. It feels like your skin is taking a breath of fresh air - like the first breath you take when you step outside at 5am in the morning during the peak of winter!

Rain creates such a romantic atmosphere. Not just the two-way, lovey dovey one (though I wouldn't mind crossing that off my list) but also the romance that you feel on your own as if you have the whole world to yourself where your shoulders are so light they could float (okay, funny image in my head). So how did I take advantage of this perfect opportunity? I danced. In actuality, I was just trying to move my body, dancing is a little out of my league. Regardless! The rain was dropping at perfect velocity - not too strongly, not to weakly, just perfect :) It has to be on the golden list of best feelings one could ever experience (by far) - maybe somewhere near the rush of blood filling your arm again after realizing you've deprived it for a good hour or so. No actually I'd say it's somewhere near the feeling of finally getting to pee after trying to keep it in for Jesus knows how long. Softer than the feeling of adrenalin. But anyway, if you haven't tried it I advise you do. It's just something that everyone should try at least once, life's too short! Embrace the rain! Hallelujah! Lol. I guess the best word to describe the feeling would be 'alive'. You feel solid which realizes your existence making you feel alive and living. Something like that. And of course it's just pure fun.

It's not as cold as you would think either but I reckon the coldness adds to the fun. After all, who wouldn't eat ice cream because it was winter? It's also good practice if ever your hot water system stops working and you are forced to take cold showers for a good fortnight.

I also had a very good time singing along to hit 90s tracks with J, S & T. Music from the 90s was the shit. Can't say the same for fashion though. Shame. Such a great era of music curtained with such bad dress sense. Double denim, over sized shirts, dark lipstick, middle parted hair... just to name a few. Minimalism they called it. Ah, childhood. I remember thinking I was way cool with my denim jacket. Ironically enough it was also a decade of supermodels. I remember the ice cream commercial (I think it was ice cream) where Cindy Crawford found it so tasty, she accidentally licked her mole off. That was a brief moment of my life where I thought 'Eww, but maybe I can try too!'. Can't wait for the 90s fashion revival when I'm 50 lol. Not really actually, there are only so many times you can revive an era, shouldn't waste it with the 90s. Oh but the music was so good! Oh and the Disney movies! Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Lion King, Mulan, man how time flies! I'm glad I grew up in the 90s :D

Oh aren't I full of glee today.

That's M-O-N-E-Y so sexy..

WHAT IS THE BIG FUCKING DEAL?

Just because everything requires money does not mean that everything is about money. So you don't always make a profit. So you don't always win. So you don't always end up with more than what you started with. So? Don't make money become your life. When asked, 'What is the purpose of life?', you dig down deep to try and find an answer. You don't answer 'money'. If life is about money you would've answered 'money'. Don't let money govern the way you live. I hate the word 'money'. In fact, I hate money. Money is the source of most, if not all, evil.

I'm not saying that we don't need money or that we can't survive without money. Yes, money does make the world go around in a sense that it is a necessity. We need it for food, for shelter, etc. We don't need iPods, we don't need flashy clothes, we definitely don't need 15" MacBook Pros. I guess what I'm trying to say is; we actually only need enough money to get by. We don't actually need the excess money for anything other than to feed our ever growing egos. After you earn more than what you need, you begin to want. Needing money is different to wanting money - a concept which many people are blind to. You say that you worked hard for your money, and I'm sure you did, that you deserve a little pampering, and I'm sure you do, but isn't that because we are spoilt by our materialistic society? Just caught by the wrath of consumerism? Just the need to be, what they call it, cool/out there/with the crowd/amongst the trend.

Money can do wonders, make wonders in fact - because we allow it to. Though, something only has a worth because we want it. Its value is lost as soon as it becomes undesirable -- look how many sales there are around us. The less we want something, the lesser its value. The less we want money, the lesser money is worth, hence the more room there is for everything else that matters. Will we ever see past the value of money? If you love what you're doing/studying/what you will eventually be doing, should the amount of money you earn affect your love for what you do? Technically the answer should be no because if you're content, why would you want more? Now that's just being greedy if you want more. Our way of life can be so different and so much better if we just take a step back and try to see past the fog of consumerism.

I admire the Amish.

Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again..

Never have I surfed facebook so extensively as I did last night
or this morning if we want to get all technical
Though as a consequence I was REMing through my alarms and missed the first half of uni
So
as usual
I'm running late for uni as it is
I have Keane playing in my ears
I stepped on the tram and saw a familiar face
Naturally I chose to sit opposite this classmate of mine
though I was listening quite intently to the music and didn't really want to interrupt it
As a result
we just smiled to each other and giggled to the fact that it was not necessary to take out our headphones
We both could not be bothered and we simply communicated in silence
To comply with the mood
we passed notes to each other as a means of talking
Just to break the 'awkward silence' you know
Strange experience it was
Different
I mean
how often do you actually want to know how they're going?
Are you really interested in what they did over the weekend?
Would you even remember what their answer was the next day?
Though I was glad that my classmate and I had a mutual understanding
it would've been hella awkward otherwise.

Baby I'm hot like an oven, I need your lovin'..

There is a new ad for Durex condoms created by a production company called superfad. They've got some pretty awesome stuff too so check it out. On their website, there's a section where you can view the 'bloopers' of the ad as well which are kinda funny.



While on the topic of sex, I can across this video on youtube while I was trying to search for the ad on Youtube, it portrays sex in a more realistic manner compared to what is shown in movies, etc. Funny.
