One day..

It blows. It really blows when you have a point to prove and despite your best efforts to do so, you cant quite pull it off. I'm not complaining though. Yep, that was one of the things on one of my many new lists. No whining, no complaining. Shit happens and will continue to happen as long as life goes on, same like rain. It rains we pull out the rain gear (unless you happen to live in Sharjah - no disrespect intended love - in which case it might be smart for us all to invest in row boats for such occasions of rain. hehe Sharjah is one of the most interesting places I've had the pleasure of living in ;) ) so yeah, when shit happens from now on I shall pull out the 'shit gear' (Hopefully I remember the drill on such an occasion cuz my memory is very selective)

I am an impatient person. I hate to wait. I'll keep telling myself that one day I will prove that point though and in the end it will be worth the wait inshallah.

I realized something quite new today. "A bum no longer belongs to time, rather, time belongs to the bum" haha, hurray for bums yeah?

I downloaded some new anime today. Kuroshitsuji and Toradora! . Now all I need is a hardcore anime the likes of Monster or Death Note and I'll have a well balanced visual meal ^^

Did I mention I cant wait for December?

Impossible n'est pas français

I like that phrase. There is no such thing as impossible, not just to the French but to all people. Where there's a will and ambition there is ALWAYS a way. The chances of there being no possible way are like 99 to 1 in favor of the possible. At least that's what I like to think when I have something in mind that I want to possess or accomplish...
I was giving serious thought to the laptop I wanted, hmm maybe 'want' is an understatement... I had been drooling and obsessing over Dell's line of gaming laptops for some months now and only tonight did the thought occur to me, "What in the heck do I want or need in a gaming laptop?!" Sure they look ultra cool and all but seriously. Given the times I had wished for a laptop; when all the comps in our home are taken by siblings, or I wanted to write down a story outline in bed (ok ok, I know I've reached new heights in laziness...) or times when I'm forced to part with the home computer to accompany mother some place, or other times when I'm stuck places and want to get some writing done but don't feel like going through the trouble of writing it down in my notebook and then having to turn around and do it again on the comp. I can honestly say I've never wanted a laptop solely for the purpose of playing games. Thinking in that way the realization hit me, it would be much cheaper to get a gaming desktop with all the latest junk than to try and fit all of that into a laptop. With that in mind I had another look at the 'normal' laptop line on Dell's website and found a sensible Lt that would suit my needs and be easily accessible. Ha ha, 'easily accessible' meaning that I can exercise enough self-control to withhold my sinful spending and actually save enough to make such a purchase! So like the french say:
Impossible n'est pas français
In every movie or cartoon that I have ever watched I can honestly say that I truly admired the bad guy(s). Doesn't mean I actually 'liked' the villains though. I only found it fascinating how even though everyone knows the 'good guys' always win the bad guys never give up. No plan is impossible to carry out. They go about executing their 'ultimate' plots with diligence and ambition such as should be envied. In the event that their plans are foiled -which they always are - they don't give up, heck no, they turn around and devise a better plot with less 'holes' in it. Their patience and persistence in devising plots, failing and devising again should be applauded. This characteristic common to the 'villains' isn't only found on TV or in books, real life bad guys have the same characteristic. But like I said, I admire them for that and only that and shall remember:
Impossible n'est pas français
The deadline date for fall admission in the Uni I wanted to attend this year came and went but without that darn diploma I, unfortunately, can't do a thing but wait. Fine, nothing's impossible. It's not impossible for me to attend Uni this year inshalla. I'll just have to exercise patience. In the end this might be a good thing after all. I'll probably take up a full time job until admissions are open again in November for the next semester. In which time I'll save up for that Lt, complete my many writing projects and in the end enter the uni remembering:
Impossible n'est pas français
The French really are very cool people. Some day I plan to take up French - it's not impossible !
