The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage...

Life is made up of fine lines.I'm not saying there's a fine line between life and death,since those are stark contrast of each other.What I'm referring to are things that are based on everyone's unique way of interpretation.Just like art,there's no right or wrong,it's just how you choose to view things and of course,there's only two ways that people respond to it.Either they like it,or they don't.I saw an article on Singapore Biennale and was rather amused to see a chewing gum masterpiece.I guess Singaporeans have forgotten how a chewing gum looked like after the ban of sales as to regard this a masterpiece.The creator is supposed to have picked that out of 10 specimens which leaves me pondering,how much does he/she earned from showcasing this work of marvel?More surprisingly,I wonder how someone can get paid for chewing 10 pieces of gum one at a time.Like hello,I can do it too.The only thing I won't be able to do,is to get the same shape or texture as the 'artist' because only God knows how much time he spent practising his art.On a more positive note though,I'll give the artist some kudos for standing out and actually appreciate the beauty of a chewed up gum because well,the only times you actually notice them are when you're smuggling them inland,chewing them or one of them got stuck to the sole of your shoes.Now that's seeing the world in a different view alright.

It's another fine line comparing a genius from a total idiot.If you watch Armageddon,yes the asteroid movie featuring Bruce Willis,you can take the character of Rockhound played by Steve Buscemi because he pretty much summarises my description.I'm sure Albert Einstein was considered a freak by some people during his time but without him,E would never be MC squared.My message is obvious,everyone of you here has the ability to do something and you continue to do it no matter how much other people say you suck at it.Because I'm very sure you'll hit a gem amongst the crap.What I'm referring to here,is your own point of view's definition.If you think it's awesome,it is awesome.You don't need affirmation from other people saying how awesome it is because we're in a world of individuals,regardless of family ties; not even if you've got a twin.Sure it's nice to have some praise from strangers,friends and families but I don't think it's necessary because we rule our own mind.If you have an idea which you think is amazing,just go for it,that's how I did my first assignment of IDEAS and I can tell you,it works best when you believe in the product.When you believe in it,convincing another person on how good it is will be a breeze.So if anyone ever called you an idiot,say thanks and tell yourself,I'm halfway there(there being a genius).

Which leads me to my next point,there's a fine line between doing what's right and what's wrong.I think laws are a little bit too extreme in defining what's right and what's wrong.It makes us not do certain things because the law said so,which really doesn't really leave a good aftertaste in your mouth(no,I wasn't referring to chewing gums).More often than not,because of this law that disallows us to do certain things,we become more eager to actually do it.As a Catholic,the ten commandments are a good example of laws you should follow.The 7 deadly sins are to be avoided at all costs and I'm left feeling dirty because of how much sins I've accounted for.In no way am I supporting the government of Holland for giving their citizens the rights to do what their heart desires,I think I'll get killed the moment my plane touched down.Again,since everyone's got their own definition on what's right and what's wrong,I think it's fair to say that conscience are the major players in our decision-making process.It can be as simple as 'is it right to buy this cd instead of the other?' though in our heads we simplify the question to just 'this one or that one ah?'.Of course sometimes we try to blur out the negative side of it and we decide on which is the better option because they're both good.

Anyway,just to sidetrack a little bit.I've added the follower gadget in my blog so for all you readers,I'm encouraging you to add yourself in as well.I'm not really expecting a big turnout,I just thought it'll be nice to track who actually comes here and reads my junk.And who knows,you might be lucky enough to get some nice exposure on my posts like this:
josie. all of this says:
JO'S THE AWESOMEST GORGEOUS SEXIEST HOTTEST BABE ON EARTH!
Ok,see,I did what she told me to do; write that whole line down but since she didn't limit me from using her nick,I included it.

Back to the topic,if I were to ever work in the media industry,I will have a hard time dealing with my intuition.Journalists are supposed to follow the golden rule of 'the audience have the rights to know' but yet,what actually makes the news are somewhat filtered out.No,I'm not riotting against the government or something,I'm just saying.And I actually don't see how those people actually rates movies and cds in newspapers or magazines.I mean,if someone were to rate a movie as 1 star out of five,and you went to watch it anyway,and you feel that 5 out of 5,does that mean you're shallow because a movie critic thinks that it's just another lame show?I think it's ridiculous to rate something that no 2 people can agree on because of the difference in culture,lifestyle,upbringing,experiences and the list goes on.So to end it off and conclude,I'm sitting on the fence because my stand is to do just that when it comes to communication.And the only difference between martyrdom and suicide is press coverage...


Sit tight, I'm gonna need you to keep time
Come on just snap, snap, snap your fingers for me
Good, good now we're making some progress
Come on just tap, tap, tap your toes to the beat

And I believe this may call for a proper introduction, and well
Don't you see, I'm the narrator, and this is just the prologue

Swear to shake it up, if you swear to listen
Oh, we're still so young, desperate for attention
I aim to be your eyes, trophy boys, trophy wives

Swear to shake it up, and you swear to listen
Oh, we're still so young, desperate for attention
I aim to be your eyes, trophy boys, trophy wives

Applause, applause, no wait, wait
Dear studio audience, I've an announcement to make
It seems the artists these days are not who you think
So we'll pick back up on that on another page

And I believe this may call for a proper introduction, and well
Don't you see, I'm the narrator and this is just the prologue

Swear to shake it up, if you swear to listen
Oh, we're still so young, desperate for attention
I aim to be your eyes, trophy boys, trophy wives

Swear to shake it up, and you swear to listen
Oh, we're still so young, desperate for attention
I aim to be your eyes, trophy boys, trophy wives

Swear to shake it up, you swear to listen
Swear to shake it up, you swear to listen
Swear to shake it up, you swear to listen
Swear to shake it up, swear to shake it up

Swear to shake it up, if you swear to listen
Oh, we're still so young, desperate for attention
I aim to be your eyes, trophy boys, trophy wives

Swear to shake it up, if you swear to listen
Oh, we're still so young, desperate for attention
I aim to be your eyes...
