Let it be...and other phrases to postpone insanity (anti-lamogio)

When the sun shines and even when it doesn't, time ticks forward.

If a situation bothers you, change it.

When people are rude, kill them with your kindness.

Money is made to be spent, but not without thinking carefully.

Life is meant to be lived, but the rule is true for others too, so live and let live.

Don't laugh at others, laugh with them.

Be happy with yourself, because if you're not, no one else will be either.

Set goals, aim for the moon, even if you miss, you'll me amongst the stars.

Try to understand others and to cut them some slack, as the fable goes, the lion ended up needing help from the mouse, you never know what life holds in store for you.

There's only love. Love poeple, love nature, love the universe.

Bad things happen, life has ups and downs. Remain positive regardless.

Dream, wish, hope; always. Even when you're not sleeping.

Spend time with children and the elderly, through their eyes you will see how beautiful life was, is, can be.

Most people are selfish. Accept it, act accordingly, but never be that way. Share your wealth, your joy, your love. Everything expires sooner or later so make good use of it while you can.

Be yourself, not everyone will like it. They may not understand, they will criticize, but you're the only expert on yourself. Don't ever forget it.

The world can be a dark place. You don't have to be.

So when life happens, don't worry, let it be, even if you don't, it will still continue anyway. Ride the wave, it's always more fun that being smacked by it.

deadly sins

You posses them, yet I suffer their consequences.

Envy joy, stomp on it, in hopes to feel better about yourself. Who knows, maybe you can create a putty out of it and use it to fill the chip on your shoulder.

Be a glutton of fun, like a vampire draws blood, so you draw smiles and leave the carcasses strewn in a gutter. You wear the smiles like a mask, even when it’s not Halloween.

Lust after sincere passion and mock it at every opportunity. If you vandalize it, the graffiti will leave ugly marks. Mission accomplished.  

Take pride in your supposed ‘superiority’, judge everyone by your criterion, and be proud that you're not like them, even though we both know the world would be a better place if you were.

Exercise sloth as frequently as possible, breathe it in as if it’s air. It's easier to play the part of black swan anyway.

You want it all. From ideas to couture, your greed has no boundaries. But even if it was all given to you, it wouldn’t be enough, for you, nothing ever is.

Your pseudo smile doesn’t fool me. Your garden may be beautiful but your house’s interior is hideous. Your negative thoughts are kindling for a fire of anger. Though you may try to cover the boiling pot with a lid, it's bound to overflow. And when it does, your fingers will burn.

Although their nomenclature is the '7 Deadly Sins', one would assume the possessor of said sins would be the sufferer too. Yet the opposite is true.
Others are the casualties in the battle of Good vs. Evil....
Evil will always win, and that’s all you want anyway.
Enjoy your victory, just be sure to dress lightly for the victory party, it will be hot there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nk8RJxZQEs

TOO MUCH pepper in my sushi

Yes, I’ve heard:
PAN
      METRON
                    ARISTON
                    everything
          in
moderation
In a world where we are taught to believe, more is more.
Achieve,
Consume,
Pursue,
Why do we feel sick when we’ve had too much? Shouldn’t evolution have come up with some kind of fix for that?

A dichotomous life; the dogma of ‘want more -do more’ and the negative consequences of ‘overindulgence reality’....

What’s a girl to do?
Retail therapy won’t help,
Nor will a massage,
Even a mani-pedi can’t do the trick....

When we go on our final journey, what will matter?

Lennon writes it best.

'It’s easy...

Love, love, love...'

domo arigato kuro koshou

nobody puts baby in a corner

Oh, and don’t you step on my blue suede shoes!
Well, it’s one for the hypocrisy
Two for the selfishness and indifference
Three to get enough material to talk behind someone’s back, laugh and then feel yourself superior

And FOUR ....to wake up!

If the sun revolved around people, it certainly wouldn’t be you.
If we were to replace the inner core of the Earth, you wouldn’t be positioned in its stead.
And if you took even one moment to be empathetic, perhaps you would be human.

Alas, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.
I’m sure you’d try to eat mine if you could....but I ain’t sharrin doll! Not anymore at least.

For every 1 bad deed, 13.764 good acts become null and void.
Do the math smartass...

What do ‘Dirty Dancing’ and ‘Elvis’ have in common?
An active pelvis...c’est ca!

Equilibrium

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsG8NiP3suUThe correct temperature, the right balance, and the air of “I don’t care”.
All signs of a healthy equilibrium.
But what about when we rely too much on ‘this’, or too little on ‘that’?
W H A T happens when E q UiLIB r Iu    m   is destroyed, bankrupt, abandoned?
You’ve obviously         Let go.    Opened up.    Risked.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. If you venture more than you gain, will you be reimbursed?
In times of assets; bliss, joy, amour!
Alternately there are always liabilities in the forecast: f u c k    y o u.
But it’s the liabilities which make us great. They are the foundations of a noble character, the supporting wall for depth...what’s more ...  without them, I’d be  y a w n .... four walls, each the same size, the shape of you.
this=that
just be sure that the ratio isn’t 40:60,,,,,,,or you may infringe on  the static, competitive, general, partial, or recursive equilibrium theories, and then what will become of you? The mathematical black hole may not seem menacing...but it is.
I guess I should keep a flashlight handy, because frankly I never was any good at math....

All that glitters is not gold

Time waits for no-one

Our whole lives we’ve been taught, ‘Don’t put off till later what you can do right now’. Again, the wisdom of ages at work to protect newbies from a life of missed deadlines and over-due fees.
Procrastinate, put off, delay, postpone, adjourn, dally, defer, dawdle...potato ...change the name if you wish the end result is constant. Act II Scene II Romeo and Juliet, ‘What's in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet.’
With a philosophy similar to that of Nike, ‘Just Do It’ but with a uniquely Greek twist to it, “Just Do It, Later’ trouble is bound to ensue. Of course in Canada this is something that you can get away with. Gas tank almost empty? It’s okay gas stations are open 24 hours, you’ll never run out of gas, and hell, if you do, there’s CAA. In Greece however, it’s a whole different ballgame. Things close without warning, and close often, there’s apparently a holiday every other week, and stores, banks, transportation and other things we humans have come to depend on have no regimented schedule, everything is left to work as the wind.
Wind is lucky, it comes and goes as it pleases, takes what it wants with it, when it gets bored, it leaves them randomly, without a second thought. Wind doesn’t pay rent, or for internet, nor does wind have to be at work at any specific time. The wind doth blow, but life doesn’t have to.
The things I’ve put off get done in haste, if at all. A job well done requires time. A life well lived requires action. Take the time to plan actions because there isn’t always a later. When later becomes tomorrow, next week, in a month and it will eventually be never.

The arms of a clock are relentless, unless of course you postponed getting a new battery.
