We're Both Better Than This, It's Not Worth Being Down
It takes some silence to make sound,
And it takes a loss before you found it.
Life Is Wonderful - Jason Mraz
Holy smokes! It's Batman!
Drop of water. Really pointless photograph, to be honest. Just like this post.
I tag : I don't tag. I like doing tags, but I don't like tagging :)

Life Is Wonderful - Jason Mraz
Woke up with raindrops splashing on my face. Window was open, wind was blowing hard. Figures. Wanted to stay up and watch a football match. Managed to stay awake till about 1 a.m.. Then I thought, okay, a short nap will help, so I set my alarm to go off at 2.55 a.m., and I slept. And unfortunately I slept through the alarm-ringing, right up to dawn, when my mum woke me up. Then I went upstairs to continue my slumber. And woke up again to get splashed in the face. Hahaha.
Holy smokes! It's Batman!
I wonder what it's like to be a toy. To have no real life (if at all) of your own, to succumb to the whims and wants of the owner. To be posed on the edge of a table while said owner tries miserably to take a decent photo and not focus on life. To have only one purpose in life, that is to please / satisfy / amuse (in more ways than one, I assume) the person that bought you. To not worry about things, to just stand there and look pretty (or in this case, um.. macho?). Life would be simpler, in a sense, kan?
But then, when one is a toy, one cannot feel the joys of life (oh, do pray tell what that might be, says the pessimistic one). When one's a toy, one cannot, for example, fall down so bad one might just want to give up trying to stand, yet does not have the willpower to do so. Or have one's thoughts all in a mess and can't make head nor tail regarding things.

This was a post in the making, earlier today, and since I didn't have the time nor energy nor wit nor strength nor interest in continuing what I started back then, then, now I'm continuing on with it. Oh did that make sense or what? Teehee.
So yeah, there's this tag that I did, and I did it three times, at three different times, with three different mindsets. So... Here's the tag, but with three different variations of answers (with regards to some, not all, questions)
