so I got a phone call... and my world turned upside down... for a bit... so this isnt about that phone call.. I'm jus sayin.. its about my world.. now here's the question.. and there must always be one.. if perception is key.. and it is.. how different really is my world.. from the real one.. okok im not philosophising or going off here.. im jus wondering... everyone colours their world.. everyone has pre-concieved notions, prejudices... and we usually see what we want to and hear what we like... and filter all the other mumbo jumbo... which means everyones got thier unique filter and everyone has their own 'worldview'... as in actually... so i might be missing a whole bunch of experiences and people and places because im stuck with this filter of mine... also to add to the whole mess.. people are different with different people.. ...
There will be time, there will be time...
To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet...*
and everyones got there masques.. and its all a bunch of powerplays and games.. and honestly and genuineness is a lost cause.. oneupmanship and a ruthless march towards the twin pillars of post modernist civilization.. sex and money... and so much gets lost.. and so many half compromises and so many justifications...
somtimes i wonder.. is it worth it... reallly...
who's to say...
anyway... its jus a thought... i got a phone call and my world turned upside down... jus for a bit...

I've actually spent the first half of my tuesday morning reading your blog. AND the comments posted.
Its true you are vain. And and a "limelight huggin meglomaniac" (now i FINALLY know where i got that term from!!!)
You, after me, are also the most contradictory person I know. U survive on chaos and contradiction in an attempt to find clarity & direction.
U have direction. U give direction. And u will find your direction again and again.
PS: Btw wat category woman am I...?
And i now also know why u kept in touch with me after school.
