normality

if u think that your life is weird, say no more.
well, u're not the only one who's feeling that way.
in fact, im willing to bet that everyone else feels the exact same way.

normality is an imaginary concept.
we believe that everyone else is leading a normal life except us.
problem is, the comparison works on a false pretence.

if everyone is unique in their own way, then how can normality ever be achieved?

literature

i used to believe that reading novels is a waste of time. :) do forgive me if this uncalled for remark appears to be somewhat offensive.

don't get me wrong, i admire the artistic expression and all, but the repetitive nature of certain novels, especially those specializing in romaunt, can be quite stultifying.

recently though, i've gotten my hands on a collection of 19th century literature revolving on sherlock holmes. it's a classic and never thought i'd say this.. but WOW.

im trying my best to cut down the time i spend on watching TV and investigative literature is a compelling alternative to that. gonna take back my words. novels ain't a bore if u know how to choose.

the best way to read sherlock holmes is to 'predict' the culprit and why he/she is so, via the clues hidden intricately within the novel. it keeps ur mind completely engaged. a definite wow indeed.
