I blame Nicholas Sparks for all the sadness in the world. The bestselling American novelist has written numerous amount of dramatic romantic novels, with the main themes including faith, love tragedy and fate, Books that have been adapted to movies (reason why I'm writing all of this) include, Message in bottle, A walk to remember, the notebook, nights in Rodanthe, dear john  and the last song. And one other book is the choice. Now I'm by no means a book critic, and am not her to say he’s a lousy writer, Ive hung on the words of every page of all his books, and they always trigger an emotional bullet through my brain leaving me in tears, but this sort of emotion is so real and so sad, it’s the sort of reality that is so true so daunting and scary, yet makes a person feel alive and I kinda feel that that feeling, of life, of actual living and intense experience without thought is what we or should I say I am actually craving. And that is why the sadness comes, people aren’t living… it’s this constant thought, a constant reminder, but life, the now just flashes….

Right right, so i have not updated the blog for a numerous amount of months, and being  it the last day of the year, last day of 2010 I find it only appropriate to sit back and take some time to reflect, and write a bit… I'm pretty sick, weak and tired at the moment so do excuse my already bad grammar and lack of inspiration in this post, I plan to just write… OK, so let me begin….

Dam this is harder than I thought, 4 months of no posts can really catch up to a person… right so it is the end of 2010… and I  can gladly say it has been an eventful year, a year completely mine, a dream :)
