Life as I see it over the years ...

A collection of some of the poems I wrote over the years.

Over the years I have written a few poems or just a collection of my thought. I had always wanted to one day publish them as a book but with life catching up to me I never got around to writting much after I started working. Well, with the internet and Blogs, I can finally have part of my dream come thru and maybe a small audience (that includes YOU) may be able to read and just give me a comment or two on when you think about what I have written. I do thank you for visiting this little blog of mine ...

The True Meaning of Life

Went to my friendster account and found one of the old blogs I wrote ... kinda like it so have moved it over ...


The Meaning of Life

Life has not been great over the last year ... my dad pass away, had some relationship problems, I was force into retirement, got myself into depression and just wishing life would end.But as always, life does find a way to pick up the pieces and things got better. During my depress state I kept thinking - there is a lesson to be learned from every situation that life throws at us.So for the past year I been trying to understand what it was ...

Wasting my time meditating (sometime falling asleep doing it)trying to be alone (causing hurt to a few close people)trying to get drunk and actually getting drunk - became really good at it (hoping that when you are high enough with alc in your blood a bright spark will let you know the meaning of life)and a lot of rather stupid things ....


I Finally Found IT!


I understood the true meaning ... I finally know why life throws bad things at us ...


"The Meaning of LIFE" like a bright spark (and I was sober) became clear to me.

The answer to the question : What is the meaning of life ...

There is no true meaning, there is not always something to learn from bad times, life is just a big blob of wire that has no real directions, life cannot be controlled and if you think life is going get better after a bad fall ... trust me, it may not. The only certainty in life is Death and even that is beyond your control.


Without a road map, yin and yang balances, directions, controls etc what should we do?
I believe that we should just live each day as if it were our last. Each day presents itself with opportunities and we must decide to play it safe or take a risk.


Play it safe and it still may not go your way, take the risk and you have more to gain.So I leave this BLOG with two words :


Carpe Diem - Seize the Day for nothing is gain without risk.

"TIS ONLY IN THEIR DREAMS THAT MEN TRULY BE FREE,'TWAS ALWAYS THUS, AND ALWAYS THUS WILL BE. -KEATING.!"
