Laying on my back in my little living room sofa, listening to the silence after the end of the last track of the Dark Horse album from Nickelback... Very good album, I like it a lot, especially the hit single Gotta be somebody, suits me pretty well. And now the washer's buzz is calling me for another load... I'll be back in a sec... Don't move... I'll be back.
OK, so now that the washer and dryer are spinning in sync, and that John Mayer's Continuum CD replaces Nickelback's Dark horse in the sound system, I can come back to what I was telling you about... What was I talking about again? Most probably nothing.... right?...As usual... :-) There is nothing like having chips and beer and talk about nothing while the sun is shining against a bright blue sky... Maybe I should go play outside... I will... I will... :-)
OK, more seriously (if I can), I started publishing the blog posts that I wrote (literally, like... on paper... wow... ;-) while I was on vacation last week. As I said a few post ago, you can find them on http://mad-voyages.blogpost.com. Some people started reading it and are already asking for more... This is pretty cool... An old friend of mine even said that it reads like candy and that I'm about to replace his Saturday morning news paper reading... Cool... :-)
It feels soooo gooooood to know that people find you interesting... At least it does for me... If you read some of my previous posts like A musical feeling or Wanting and/or dreaming, you already know that about me. But come on... We all love to be interesting, right? OK, some people needs it more than others, some people live to attract other people's attention, while others would rather stay un-noticed... But in the end, when we realize that someone truly finds us interesting, it's a GREAT feeling, isn't it?
Some of us sometimes wonder what the hell am I doing with my life? Why was I born? Do I have a purpose on this little blue planet? Some people will turn to god or a specific religion to answer this question... I prefer to look within myself (though some might argue that it's kind of the same thing)... Ho... the washer or dryer buzz again... It will have to wait now... I'm on a roll... :-)
Knowing that some people find you interesting... That there are things that you can do that can touch others... That you can make a positive difference in their lives as so many others have made a positive difference in yours... Isn't this a great purpose?... If my writing can make a difference in people's life, even if it just to entertain them on a regular basis, then my passage here will not have been for nothing (even if I often write about... nothing :-)... As I wrote in one of my first efforts at creative writing, in an essay presumptuously titled "Le sens de la vie" (aka The meaning of life), I see three laws governing our lives, similar to Azimov's laws of robotics:
- Thou shall help improve society as a whole so that our descendants can live a great life.
- Thou shall be good to others around us now and make their life more enjoyable, but not the detriment of upcoming generations, of course.
- Thou shall treat yourself and enjoy life to its fullest, but not the detriment of others around us and neither to upcoming generations, of course.
Of course, being interesting for a special someone, is an even greater experience (as I talked a bit about when I was flying to Cuba last year). As Chad Kroeger sings "Nobody wants to be the last one there, and everyone wants to feel like someone cares. Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere? There has gotta be somebody for me out there."... Gotta be somebody... But it's not from the lack of self confidence or not being interesting enough, or even too picky (as some might say)... And it's not like I feel so lonely, I'm lucky enough to have many very good friends, and great kids... It's just that...
This time I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life
The one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I´ll be waiting for the real thing.
I'll know it by the feeling.
The moment when we´re meeting
Will play out like a scene straight off the silver screen
So I`ll be holdin’ my breath
Right up to the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with
[...]
BYE
MAD
P.S.: HAVE FUN!!! :-)
