Therefore I am: A day in the life of William K Huynh

I'm thinking that one day in the distant future, I will want to write an autobiography of myself. So, here's to that day: a posting that resembles how the book would start...

Everyone has a story. It begins in the beginning, and it ends in the end. There is an alpha, and there is an omega. What lies in between the beginning and the end is just what it is - a story. Now, here is the secret- what lies within that story is a multi-colored rose, a flower that is red, which can theoretically also be blue or yellow, depending on the perspective that the light reflecting off the rose translates to in the brain. Look to the birds and the bees- do they see the rose that we see? A simple story can be as thorny as a rose- the story, as the rose is seen from afar, does not reveal anything, yet up close, it is remote from simplicity as can be. Watch out for the thorns, they tell us - so we pretend they are not even there. There, something so complex as a rose becomes as simple as a symbolic metaphor.

To everyone else, a person with a story is just that, another person's story. We all have our own images, our projections, our artificial ideas to think about as we attempt to fit into society's mainstream image. In our own self assessment, we see how complicated our story truly is. And the most devastating thing- we are the only ones who know the real story on this earth.

Here's food for thought: so, who's up for dessert? When you're choosing what to eat, do you really know what you want to eat, or are you just seeking for something that will conjure thoughts of a delightful story, in which you savor the dessert in your thoughts, only to have something less when you finally get the real thing?

True Friendship is a rarity amongst the many aquaintances

I believe that friendship and fellowship are two of the strongest elements in our world. Thus, indeed, we are always on the prowl to establish new relationships and bonds. Although we build rapport with many of our contacts, in the end, we establish a handful of "faithful" friends. Even so, who are these faithful friends and what correlations do they have amongst each other? What are reoccuring characteristics of the faithful?

We deal with issues such as these throughout our times, and therefore these issues are of the most marked priority. However, do we ever stop to think of our situation? Who can we trust, and who do we just associate with?

In conclusion, faithful friends are hard to find in our world. Find them, make them, and hang on with them for dear life. For they shall be the ones to save your dear life, not anyone else.

The end.

Orginality is a coveted idea, as you shall see...

Well, everyone has something in common. It is a desire for a specific element in their lives. What can this element be we ask? Uniqueness. Originality. Its quite true, even if you don't agree with me yet. However, by the end of this blog, you will be inclined to agree.
What is this desire for orginality I am talking about? We all know the answer, for it is apparent in all aspects of our lives. Orginality is also known as innovation, uniqueness, inventiveness, and freshness, according to the thesaurus. Therefore, you ask, "where is this orginality in my life?"

Well, I'll tell ya tomorrow!
(See, that statement was uncalled for and totally out of place.) Let me tell you right now before someone gets antsy.

In our daily lives, we tend to have what is called a routine. A routine is something that we do all the time. Even so, we don't do the same things every time. They always slightly vary, even by the slightest shade. I'll cut to the point: as people, we like variety. Yes, we do. That's why we always want to try that new restuarant, or see that new movie, or wear different clothes. In fact, we look for it in other people, too. I mean, if you think about it, you like people who are different from you.

Therefore, look for that orginality in your life, and seek to amplify the sources. It might just make your day!
