New stuff gets old.
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day isn’t enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open area between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “yes.”
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
“Now,” said the professor as the laughter subsided, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things…your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions…and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your home and perhaps your car.
The sand is everything else…the small stuff. “If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
“Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Enjoy a romantic dinner with the one you love. Play another 9 or 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the faucet.
Take care of the golf balls first…the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. “I’m glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.- Unknown

Who I Am Hates Who I’ve Been || Relient K
‘cause I don’t want you to know where I am
‘cause then you’ll see my heart
In the saddest state it’s ever been.
This is no place to try and live my life.
Stop right there. That’s exactly where I lost it.
See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.
Stop right there. Well I never should have said
That it’s the very moment that
I wish that I could take back.
I’m sorry for the person I became.
I’m sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I’m ready to be sure I never become that way again
‘cause who I am hates who I’ve been.
Who I am hates who I’ve been.
My birthday present :) Unlike most people who get to know Orhan Pamuk through his novels, this is my first impression of him, and it’s positive :)

This is not a story. This is real life. Everyday, in this 21st century, in this very year 2011, there are children living like that out there. Will this ever end? :(

I hate it when a brief, familiar scent suddenly appears and revives the good old memories of the one i used to be with. The loved one. It hurts a lot.
VIDEO: Murdered in Cold Blood. Brazil Needs to Act Now to Stop LGBT Killing Spree
http://www.allout.org/en/petition/priscila
Priscila was murdered in cold blood at 22, a victim of transphobic and homophobic violence that is sweeping Brazil. Enough is enough. Ask Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff to go All Out in support of an Anti-Homophobia law that can stem the violence.
Those murderers, together they can make a disaster =.=
