Mr. brightside

Some of you might think that this is kind of out of date but hear me out... I am right now literary dreaming of the song Mr brightside by The killers. The song just happen to have a subtle impact of who i wanna be although some would think i'll never be able to extend myself to that extent but it is a good thing though because then i get to understand and aspire to be like him. I particularly like the line "Jealousy, turning saints into the sea, turning to sick lullabies, and choking on your alibies." for most it might seem insignificant but its true you know. Jealousy makes you do a lot of stupid things, suicide being the most sinful of sins and saints are a definite contradiction to it.

but if anything, i wanna be Mr. Brightside, the person that everyone knows am thinking about the bright side then just dwelling on the past and negative impact. A friend of mine questioned why others can do well and some cant do any better and why some can cope and why some are different. MY friends tell me, there are other things to be taken into consideration when it comes to comparing something with another thing and that is a statement i believe most would have. I understand the idea of different circumstances leading to different outcomes but i also understand that differentiation is what makes people aspire to be better. So i understand both parties on this matter, and off course i wanna take the Mr. Brightside approach. But its not possible. Its not logical, its not even right. You can please everyone as much as you want to. Its not possible. Its not even virtually possible. But most give it a shot. A friend of mine once said, you try and you fail, so what? So i guess ill give it a shot, like he said, to be a man of value.

It is safe to understand that maybe, being a man of value is harder than being a man who has success. Because today, there are very few people who have success but even fewer has value. Most successful people lack the value that makes them a better person, but most people with value might argue that value alone is a success.

I know one thing for sure, one person at least is reading this blog, and i've been thinking about how to make her understand what im trying to say. What message am i trying to point out here. I guess its simply this, im trying to be a better person, and sometimes in order to achieve that we have to stop, look back, and think what we've done in the past, then we have to understand the reality of our existence and accept the fact that sometimes, being a better person is having to backtrack yourself.

A true Mr. Brightside today is a kid age 8 years old. When you tell him that the internet is going to be down for three weeks, he'd say, nevermind, i can always watch tv. The brighter side of things i guess. So i wanna thank you all. for reading this, i hope you get the idea that there is always two sides to everything, a story has two sides, a coin has two sides, yin and yang was created to stabilize both sides. Pick the brightside of things, then maybe, maybe, youll wake every morning smiling instead of reaching for the small red pack on your table and puffing smoke hehe. Daaa...
