An Epiphany

Don't you just love epiphanies. I do! They always hit me when I least expect it. Wether I'm jumping over a fence or just staring at Scarlet Johanssen's.......smile.

Aaah. Good times.

*sighs*

Where was I? Aah yes, My epiphany. This struck me a few days back.

                                           -----------------------------------------------------------------

Of the most worn out of terms, none is more used than the word 'cool'. It is society's greatest irony that everyone, this writer included, attempts to bring a little cool factor to their image. And in attempting to do so, in trying to be the 'smooth cool dude around the block', we tend to overlook a little something. You see, chances are, you may succeed, you could very well be considered as such, but let's try to glimpse at what's actually happening here.

It goes without saying that the word 'cool' is just a slang for 'unfazed'. See where I'm going here? How can one consider himself as 'cool' when he's so fazed by what society thinks of him. To be truly 'cool' is to stick by one's true identity. Not follow some fucked up trend the world seems hell bent on drooling over.

Because let's face it, more often than not, glazed eyes and a hoodie are just going to make you look like a junkie. 

There's never going to be a perfect recipe. 

Except maybe for Tom Cruise.

('Kay I'll come clean! I've had this huge man crush on the guy ever since, well, ever. Yes, my unmentionables are intact! No, I'm NOT sprouting ovaries. Shut up, He's awesome. DO. NOT. CALL. HIM. OLD. )

(And the couch thing was kinda cute. Shut up, I'm not gay!)

The point is, just be yourself. You'll do fine. If they love you, awesome. If they find you annoying, then, well, it isn't worth thinking twice over. I've had loads of people look me in the eye thinking I belong in an institution. Perhaps I do. Perhaps I don't. You know what, I kinda look forward to those looks, just so I can quote one of my favourite literary figures.

"Don't worry, buddy. I'm an acquired taste. Most of my best friends had to know me for years before they could even stand my presence. I'm like mold, I usually grow on you very slowly." -Tabitha Deveraux

And on that awesome note- Sayonara (Did you know this was chinese? I always thought it was spanish.)

-------------------------------------

Writer's notes : Sayonara is actually japaneese. Apparently my readers are smart. Thanks for the correction guys. Let's not mention this ever again. No seriously. Never again. Or I will find you and I'll make you watch barbie re-runs all day. If that doesn't kill you, I don't know what will?
 

Small can work just as fine...

The subtle ticking of seconds gone by filled the quiet stillness of anticipation. All breathing was paused until that feeble arm of father time reached that still infernal spot which would perhaps, as it has so often in the past, signal the start of a new day. Or perhaps…the end of time itself. Who am I kidding, that ship sailed by a long time ago. 

Tick.

Tick.

Tick.

3 more seconds.

Tick.

Tick.

And so it began.

On this most momentous of occasions, I’d like to pay homage to the greatest invention ever made. 

No, I don’t mean the back scratcher. Yes, I know how awesome it is…Yes…I...

No, Victoria Secrets has nothing to do with it. Nope. Not even Apple. I said NO!

What I was saying was, the greatest of all inventions has to be, the diminutive ‘Cog Wheel’. 

Yeah, save the groans until after you hear me out

.

The Cog is the symbol of all things ‘change’. Da Vinci in a moment of greatness might’ve uncovered a device that would change the face of the earth in the years to come. For in the spiked wheel, one does not just come across a vital of piece of everyday circuitry but something quite extraordinary.

For in considering the cog, we look at an image of change. Its sequential rotations bring about perennial motions that have the ability to fire a change of immense consequences. It shows of how huge clockwork devices weighing tons are fired by the smallest of cogs. 

Taking this into everyday life, it’s amazing how a miracles can be created by the teensiest of actions.

Just as how the greatest waves start with the smallest of ripples.

How the greatest books start with the smallest of words.

How the greatest orgasms start with the smallest of.......Ok-aaaaay, didn’t really know where I was going with that.

It should then be considered that in the year to come, what we willingly or unwillingly do has the ability to effect the lives of those around us. A small scowl or uncalled-for comment has the power to bring down a person’s will while something as small as a smile has the potential to lift a heart, and that is as priceless a feeling as one can possibly feel. 

It’s quite worth the thought, is it not? 

Stop a single cog and father time himself comes to his knees. Just imagine what a small deed done with the best of intentions could do? 

Maybe it couldn’t give us world peace but an answering smile is, quite frankly, just as beautiful.

HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS! Thanks for reading ^_^
