Neil Gaiman - The Kindly Ones

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.”
―
Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones

Chapter 04 - Breaking the Habbit

I haven't practised this one yet...

If there is a habit you wish to break eg. smoking, eating too much...etc all you need to do is ask yourself what is the secret benefit of keeping the habit going?  What are the benefits...

Now all you have to think about is how else can you get those benefits?

Set a date when you start implementing your new way of getting those old benefits :)

Don't know how well this works but worth a shot I guess.

S3 - THE MIDDLE - JIMMY EAT WORLD

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKsxPW6i3pM



The Middle - Jimmy Eat World
Lyrics:

Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).

Hey, you know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in.
Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else.

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).

Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just do your best, do everything you can.
And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say.

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).


I  think this is a pretty awesome music video.  I enjoy the fact that everyone one is comfortable in their underwear except for the main character.  Most of the guys and girls fit the social norm of what beautiful people are but as the song progresses and you see that even the stocky guy is all good being semi nude.  So it's all in his head (lead guy).  Which is directly translated to words in the song. 


Taken from their fourth album Bleed America, the song hit number 1 on the US Billboards:Hot Modern Rock Tracks charts.http://www.jimmyeatworld.com/

I like the song because it gives me hope and makes me feel like I can to do this...  social outcast or not...

The lyrics are pretty simple but it's more in the way he sings it.  Can't really put into words as to what makes this song great so just check it out for yourself.

** There are two more songs that I recommend which you can find on my blog in the August: Reformation Theory.

Q3: Sylvester Inspires

This quote is awesome and it's telling it like it is!!!!!!!  One of my fav...

"Suffering Succotash"



# QUOTE 1 & 2 CAN BE FOUND IN AUGUST REFORMATION THEORY

Chapter 3: THE POISON AND THE REMEDY

A good method of figuring out what's in your head and how to annihilate indecisiveness is to make a list of pros and cons.  Yeah, i know what you're thinking you have tried this before and it sucks. But here is the difference...





You have got alot of noise in your head...."I know I should but..." etc.
Deep down, some where in the tiny lit rooms of your head you have already made up your mind and know exactly what it is that you are going to do.  So making a list of pros & cons  is like airing out your laundry.

Just by writing it down you are bringing everything to your conscious mind.  After doing this no matter if the pros out weigh the cons or vice versa you should have the answer.
