In case you haven't heard, or haven't watched the world news, George W. Bush was in Iraq, and at a press conference, one of the journalists took off his shoes and threw it at the former US president. Bush dodged the first one, and the second missed him by inches. Here, take a look:
HBO was playing this old Jean-Claude Van Damme action film called Sudden Death, about a fireman who takes his kids to an ice hockey game, only to run into terrorists who holds the US Vice President hostage there. There's a scene where Van Damme fights a woman who is dressed in a penguin suit. It looks kinda funny but is pretty cool to watch:
On another note, and I know some of you really don't give a shit about this because you're not a wrestling fan; my favourite star, Jeff Hardy has finally won the world championship, after numerous tries. It's about damn time, because I was starting to think he'd never be able to do it, but he finally triumphed. Congratulations Jeff (even though all this is scripted, I know lol)
You know what else makes me go wow? My current favourite song, Decode by Paramore. It's from the soundtrack to the film Twilight, and I know at least one reader of my little blog enjoys it too. If you haven't seen Twilight, go see it. It's rad;) Enjoy the song.

Role Reversal
It's nice to see her smile again.
Mind you, this is something that didn't happen often back in the day. But now, I guess I can safely say that this person is more or less content with the way things are, and has found a significant amount of peace in her heart.
Unlike me.
To say that I am satisfied with my life is not accurate no matter which year you ask me of. But the good thing was, I was able to ignore it for the most part, and just accept what life dealt to me.
Now, it's different. I've got things on my mind. Things that I know I can handle. And other things that I used to not worry about, yet now I do. I'm still not letting it get the better of me, but it's not easy.
The truth is, everyone around you will disappoint you, sooner or later. Sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. And you have to learn how to handle it. Yet somehow, I still stand by the way I treat my friends. No amount of hell will change me. Call it stubbornness, call it undivided loyalty, call it blind faith. I don't care.
Anyway, I'm mentioning the fact that things have changed, better for someone, not so good for me. But that's okay. Just like someone I know, I'm not a quitter.
A new year is on the horizon. Maybe my luck will change again.

Patience
So what's the world like today?
It depends.
If you mean from a meteorological sense, then it's just rain, rain and more rain. Every day, that's all I see.
If you mean in a general sense, then I think it looks a little grey; some things are good, some others not so.
If you mean from behind this computer, then the only word I have for it is 'slow'. As in, it takes forever for a friggin' webpage to load!
If I were to take into account all the things going on around me right now, it's really not so bad. The good stuff isn't really outstanding, but I'll take whatever I can get. The bad stuff isn't likeable, but it's nothing new. I'm sort of used to it already. I'll just have to be patient.
Patience. When I look at the world's problems, from the ones had by people I know, to the entire planet at large, I feel that it can all be overcome with a little patience. Everyone has problems. But it's the ability to ride the storm and survive that is most important. For that you need patience. Patience to think things through, and then realize that there are some things you can't change. And knowing that if you wait it out, you'll find the answers. The world isn't going to end tomorrow, so stop acting like it is.
I'm slightly agitated today, actually. I guess I'm short of patience myself. But that's OK. I'm still alive and kicking.

Finally
It's taken me a long time to be able to say this, but finally.........my computer is virus-free.
It has been a torturous six months or so putting up with the severe inconveniences of having an unwanted entity in your PC. This thing did its worst by messing up my internet connection frequently, restarting my computer without warning and removing almost all my programs. When that last thing happened, I knew it was time to stop delaying and get it fixed.
And now, I'm back. Whoo.
And just in time too, it's November now. Halloween is over (not that I celebrate anyway) and we're now 2 months away from a new year. Are you excited? Well, if time actually means anything to you, then maybe, yeah.
But for me, a new year only means more movies to look forward to. Speaking of movies, I just watched Tropic Thunder, the review is up on FF. Check it out.
Anyway, I'm just glad to be back behind this computer again and feel good about it. Other than that, I've got no complaints. So I'll see ya, don't wanna be ya;)
