Before I continue on todays post, I'd just like to say I found the quote from Elizabeth: The golen age which I was describing in my previous post. It wasn't Queen E who said it but the astrologer she consults with... here goes one of the most memorable quotes in the movies... but I must comment that my spiced up version sounds more "umph" :) I should really consider being a professional "quote generator".
"When the storm breaks, each man acts in accordance with his own nature. Some are dumb with terror. Some flee. Some hide. And some spread their wings like eagles and soar on the wind."
-Dr John Dee
I took the Wednesday off for a dental appointment which I have been putting off for a couple of weeks now. I had my wisdom teeth extracted last September. As the lower two teeth were set rather deep in my lower jaw, two rather deep cavities resulted in the removal of the two teeth. As doctors were afraid that the gaps in my lower jaw will not close up fast enough before infection sets in, I need to return every two to three months to get the little portholes in my mouth cleaned up. The nurse too commented on the coffee stains, hinting at the need to restrict my caffeine intake. One must understand that I need the daily morning caffeine fix to stop myself from turning into a zombie. Visualization aid: Think Blade without the daily injections... same theory.
A lot of thing are happening at the same time for me now and I am really glad for that. There are a couple of stuff in the pipeline and despite how much I would love to blog about it, critic it and get all emotional and bitchy about it... I shall wait till it happens or does not happen before spilling it here.
After the dental appointment, I proceeded to have a great lunch and coffee fix again with really good company. (Told you I'll blog about it... ) ...
My small pool of loyal and dedicated readers have again commented on the need for pictorial entries on this blog of mine. I must admit that so far, I have been pretty happy just rambling on and on about my life and the the little issues which have caught my attention. But having pictures of the stuff I do up would be a refreshing breather from my recent entries. Next entry perhaps, once I get a whole of the pictures of my outing on Tuesday evening.
“You can go a long way with a smile. You can go a lot farther with a smile and a gun.” - Al Capone (1899 - 1947)
I chanced upon the above quote as I searched for something applicable to end off today's entry. I found the above quote which sparked off a wave of emo-thoughts about how I feel about life and its processes in general. The quote doesn't really reflect well on the stuff I mentioned earlier but it does reflect very well on the way I feel things ought to be done. My family was watching some lawyer/crime show when my mum commented on the methods used by the prosecutors in trialing the case. She was abhorred by the underhand tactics used and start this long tedious lecture on principles and about how everything I do in future must be upright and all. I just smiled, if only she knew about the way I worked...
I believe in self preservation as much as the need to lead a morally upright life. I too believe in the need for a guiding set of principles and ethics in our everyday life. However, we all know that, sometimes to get that one level higher, the occasional sacrifices need to be made. Will I do what I think needs to be done come the crunch time? I believe I can. Many people make the mistake of thinking with their hearts and not their heads. Regret only comes about when the mind realises that a particular decision was made thorough the heart. Something I will always bear in mind. Harsh as it may seem, the realities of life.
