marriage was an April Fool's, btw

"Making music never fed anyone."

"No, they didn't, but it really got people laid."

In the face of serious questions, troll them. Troll them so bad, they regret asking it.

I like your point of view.

Life isn't fair but what can be, should be.

I never got it when idiots use that excuse to shaft you. "Give me your chocolate, I lost mine!" screamed the bully. "That's not fair!" whined the victim. "Life isn't fair, HAH HAH!" joked the bully. "Well, you're still a dumb ass who has to feed a recurring problem instead of being a good person. Enjoy your fucking chocolate, jackass."

LIFE CAN'T SUCK!
YOU CAN ONLY SAY IT DOES!

I can't agree with you more Reggy. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten a lecture like this from family members, friends, etc.
To summarize: Shit happens, shut the fuck up about your opinions, and go doing something useful with your time.
Of course, this doesn't apply to everyone.

I positively cant stand people who bitch about their lives. Especially when it is something so trivial, or something pretty much everyone has to go through. I get really peeved with people with generally comfortable lives whine about thier life sucking when thier parents yell at them for something that wont even matter in a few days.

I always had this outlook on life. It could always be worse. And when you finally meet people who have reason to complain because their lives genuinely do suck, you learn to deal with the little problems thrown at you and be grateful for things being the way they are.

/tiny rant.

As for you Regina, I say the only thing you really can do is keep on doing what you believe. You cant get through to people who think your future is bleak or people who complain when they dont want to act to change the way things are. I think everyone needs to realize these kinds of things on own. Some take thier sweet time figuring things out, others are more quick to the draw.

Life is not fair. Not in any kind of light. And it never can be so end of story.

@ Alraderous, doesn't matter, it was just an example. Marriage, work, LIFE.

@ Merovign, all "arts" section face the same problems eh.

@ Ganzicus, thanks :D

@ Dustin, totally man. Haha, like make the best out of things, right?

@ Nass, ikr. I made another rant about this on my blog a while back. Then i used the reference of life not being able to give you a BJ :)

@ Lithium, selective advice listening? ;D

@ Gujju, Totally agree with this :D Some people out there don't realise that there are people with lives who suck way more than theirs ever would. A shame for those people really. Thanks, I think you're right, that i have to realise this myself. I think it's also possibly right that I choose my own future and pay for any mistakes I make.

@ Dee, you might be right. It's all in our minds, is it?

Alright so like, I got 2 Fs.

WORST REPORT CARD EVER FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I need to study harder.

I met an A once. She was a new acquaintance. I could see everyone else being way too nice to her, so when she started complaining about her fatness for the fifth time, I just snapped at her, "Look, if you want to lose fat, you can either whine about it, or you can do it." No, she didn't like me after that. But she's not the kind of person I'd want to talk to at length anyway.

Anyway, you want to do photography, I want to break into 3d animation. Everyone tells me I can't survive on that too, but I say, bullshit. Jobs will be available if you know where to look and how to get them, and if you have the skillz. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either very unlucky or simply incompetent. Anyway if you really want to do it and you believe you have the talent, just do it, and don't let anyone bring you down.

I hate the way it works too, because while O levels is a good indicator of academic intelligence, in other areas it's not so accurate, and after you get to JC/Poly no one will give a crap about how well you did for your O levels. But that's the way our current society works, and even if you don't like it, going with the flow will make your life a whole lot easier. While I don't think your life will get destroyed if you fail your O levels (you can always take it again anyway), it's an important stepping stone alright, not to mention the path of least resistance.

I always thought life was tied in with karma: when good things happen, karma bites you in the ass even if you didnt do anything and throws you down a bit.

When is life ever fair?

Life is a give and take cycle with a hint of cause and effect.

Life is unfair- the world is unequal.
The reality is that there are people who are born and/or raised in fortunate homes, while others can be born unfortunate (e.g handicap, disabled) and can live their lifetime in hardship. Many of us who are raised in good environments take for granted things that we don't realise, until those things are taken away from us.

Thus, bereavement can be the greatest eye-opening for people who are blind to the value of their life.

@ Reve, Woah, i would never dare do that to A. I like to keep... A healthy but distanced relationship with people around me :) Works out easier this way. Thanks for your advice :) It made hell lot of sense, esp about O's being a stepping stone.

@ Wolfboy, karma like, even if good things happen to you, you get bad things too?

@ Aaru, Give and take cycle. Actually i think, as long as you don't sit there and whine about your life, whether you feel it's fair or not, it's all cool. As long as you accept it and flow?

@ Quang, would it be possible to argue that those born unfortunate will never get the kind of hardships we (who are "normal") get? Like if you're mentally disabled, you may have difficulties doing normal things we do, but you'll never face the stress of growing up, expectations etc etc.
