Random Musings

*It's extremely gratifying to know that things you did to help those in need or trouble not only alleviated the issue but solved it as well.
*It's extremely annoying and nerve-wrecking to find out that something seemingly guaranteed since mid-Dec that was supposed to start in January keeps facing lengthy delays.
*Being a third wheel/lamp post etc is definitely annoying and socially awkward, no matter how close you may be to one party of the couple. Join them, they said...it would be fun, they said.
*Genuine heartbreak is perhaps one of the worst feelings ever.
*I am guilty of not having thought about animal rights. Cats, dogs, cows, goats, fish, sharks... Perhaps I should listen to them more.

Been a while since football became a written topic here. Last time it was was probably when MU sold Ronnie to Real. Just felt like penning some pent up frustrations....
*Danny Welbeck should be sold, loaned, given away, whatever. Anything to ensure he never steps foot into Old Trafford ever again.
*David De Gea should not be sold.
*Rafael, Ronaldo, Berbatov, Messi, Ferdinand all became much better footballers after cutting their hair. Torres shaved his and still sucks.
*There's Playboy Bunny, there's Bugs Bunny, and then there's Luis Suarez.
*While Eden Hazard was wrong to have kicked that 17 year old twat (he should've kicked him harder.. nah jk), the ballboy did himself no favours with his pre-match tweet. Found several 'jokes'pertaining to this issue:
-If it was a Man City match: Mancini - The ballboy would never play for Man City ever again. 2 weeks later he would be included back into the squad and procaimed as "vital".
-Arsenal: Wenger - Sign the ballboy then sell him off to Barca for profit in 3 years.
-Man Utd: Fergie - That kick was the most dangerous thing I've ever seen on a football pitch. He could've died.
-Benitez: That ballboy was sent by Ferguson to waste time.
-Pepe to Hazard: That's my bro.
-English media: It's Suarez's fault.
-Torres: He would've missed the ballboy
Looks like even being a ballboy can be....hazardous...

Don't You Worry Child

SIGNS THAT YOU MAY BE/ARE GETTING FAT:

*All your friends call you fat
*Your sister calls you fat
*Your fat dad calls you fat
*The thing that gets said fat dad most happy about an employment offer letter is not the salary or additional   compensation but the presence of a sports club
*Your boxers get tighter (not because a certain part is more well-endowed)
*You confuse boredom with hunger
*You ask a salesgirl to try size 'M' and she shakes her head saying "no it can't fit you"
*Your brother says you have big arms...then calls you fat
*Pants could previously be easily pulled off while still buttoned and now they can hardly be buttoned
*Your dad is happy with you finally finding a job not because you can finally earn income but because "hopefully the stress will make you lose weight"

These past couple of months have been an eye-opener. People who you thought you knew so very well, inside out, can turn out to be massive deceptions; they portray characters that you had actually loathed and despised your entire life. What do you do then? Try to adapt to their sudden change? Or render the friendships irrelevant and deem their latest metamorphosis too burdening to handle? Are these cases of new places, new environments and new social cliques gradually changing people 180? Or are these people who they had always been, their real selves suppressed by constraints bound on them by uncontrollable circumstances, only to have these shackles removed when the people themselves are brought to new locations?

It just serves to show 2 things: You can never really know someone enough and people, no matter how headstrong they think they are, can change in character. And when the latter occurs, it can sever even the most fortified of relationships. One can just watch these events go by and continue the journey you had set out for yourself. Of course nothing in life is easy, but sometimes, it gets a little easier cos deep down you know that you may never have to see some of these people ever again.
