Chronicles of a Young College Boy

Hey... This picture is taken in alcatraz island. It's this whole other island off the San Francisco bay. What is it? its basically a prison island, reserved for the most notorious criminals that are recorded...hehe you might think how come I look so nice in the picture? hahaha well I saw the great view there and took the chance. I have this other picture which has the city and skyscrapers of San Francisco behind me. It's just sp beautiful, you actually have to be there to experience the majestic view, because when I returned home I checked the pictures which I had taken on the island with the views behind me and I thought, hmm this doesnt capture its beauty at all. My msn picture now has the picture of me with the city behind me.

Remember those times when you feel so uneasy and uncomfortable that you can't even do simple things? the feeling is like as if there is something very not right about something that has always been right in your very foundation as a person. This very thing creates the foundation of you and forms the basis of your personality. So far in your life this thing or idea has been what is always constant when everything else aren't. I'm talking about: Our parents or parenting figures. Since young they have always been the one who guides you wherever you go and do, and we children see them as the people who always knows what is right and is our counsel of life. They are always the one who appear the strongest and wisest when it comes to many situations.

But what happen to that idea when suddenly in a situation you see them as human beings like all of us? this situation will rattle your foundation like a rag doll. I was in more or less that situation recently and I have to admit, it is quite hard sometimes to keep a clear mind. In a way the uneasyness comes like a plague in the first few moments, but for me luckily it's just that first few moments when i felt the strongest blow to my own foundation. But after the situation is solved and everything turned out alright, I felt so uneasy when I woke up the next day. I did so much thinking about the feeling, because I can't do anything else productive. I thought, our parents are not going to be there someday, and when that day comes, what's to become of me if just this one situation were to put me into such easiness?

I thought the feeling can just go away, but noooo...it stayed on. So I turned to one of my enduring heroes... Many people might thought this is dumb, but I don't care, because everyone has their own coping mechanisms. Mine is just taking my mind off everything in the world, put on my trusty headphones, and watch my hero. I just watched his movie and now I'm feeling all better. Explanation? I have none. It's one of those there-but-no-there kind of hero that I turn to for relief. Some people pray, some watch TV, some eat and drink like theres no tomorrow.

I think I have told other people that I'm more than an ordinary fan of superman. On the lighter note, its not that I idolize him or anything. It's just that when that foundation rattles, it has that domino effect of impacting everything. I was actually supposed to study just now, but i thought getting that uneasyness out of the way might be a better idea in the long run, because I don't think this is the way I want to start the new week.

I guess what I'm saying this whole time is that, get yourself as many supporting roles or figures as you can in your life, because if one major one falls, you might need all supporting roles to...well...support you. Prepare yourself for the worst situation that might happen in your life because you might never know when it will happen.

Haiz whole entry sounds like a drag... Oh well, life is a rollercoasterrrrrrr, wouldn't you agree?
