there are some things that we can't change, no matter what, or how hard we try. these are the things that keep my faith strong...a faith that there is a god somewhere, who pulls the strings that control the unknown and unpredicatble stuff in our lives. so what do i do when such things come my way? if i want them out of my life, i pray to god to pull the strings that would throw these things out of my orbit. if i like them, i hope they'll stay on for a longer time.

i hate the things that i cannot change. they are a pain in the neck, a hinderance to the otherwise smooth flow that i identify as my life. i'm sure everybody's like that. there are a few such things right now...i hope they go away for good, and never gain access to my orbit. like they say in shawshank redemption, "hope is a very good thing; maybe the best thing. and a good thing never dies". here's to hope for better times.
