I remember the “early” days of Facebook, things seemed kinda simpler. Sure you had to deal with annoying sheep being thrown at you, but that was about it.
Now that it’s grown to a stage where every Tom, Dick and Harry can add you on Facebook, the irony is the more people in the network (both [...]

I don’t think it really makes things better or heals.
I think it makes you forget.
You forget how ‘normal’ life used to be. Though every moment is a reminder of how it’s not.
You forget how the person’s smile/laughter was like. Though you remember it could have belonged to an angel.
You forget how exactly you’d put an [...]

I was trying to find the Grey’s Anatomy quote I wanted (or maybe it was from House? or Scrubs?) and I don’t think I have the exact one, but this one comes close:
As doctors, patients are always telling us how they would do our jobs. Just stitch me up, slap a band-aid on it and [...]

I’m re-reading the brilliant 100 Bullets comic book series from issue 1 to issue 100 (the full run) and it is really blowing me away. One of the best comic book series out there and I highly recommend it to anyone who was impressed by previous greats like Sandman.
One cool panel sequence in particular stood [...]

It’s been nearly two years since I’ve quoted How I Met Your Mother (primarily because Season Four was pretty damn mediocre) but I’m finally making my way through it and here’s a cute little scene from episode 17.
Barney: Tell me more about being married
Marshall: Well sometimes, when you’re married, you wake up to the smell [...]

So it has just been revealed this week on LOST that LOST “is a love story”. There’s no denying that the characters have always been the emotional push of the show (though the larger mythology appeals too) but I wanted to say how it’s interesting that the #1 television show ever (in my opinion) and [...]

Everyone goes through times when they see their partners through less than adoring eyes for no particular reason. It comes out of weariness, boredom, or a bad mood. It erupts in times of personal doubt and change. You can make it into something big and scary, or you can face the fact that we’re all [...]

You may allow a lot of small irritations to fester in your relationship when you choose to keep your pain – the “ouches” that arise in relation to your partner – to yourself. Maybe you’ve decided while licking your wounds that your mate’s ability to sense your injuries will be the test of whether he [...]

Is the need to look back on everything with black-tinted glasses (yes, I just made that up)
Or to rationalise things (ie dig up additional stuff to justify the reason)
Or to bring up stuff that was bad (as if to remind oneself that getting out of it is good)
Or tell oneself they were lies or they [...]

The mountain goat climbs daily upon the highest ground, far above the cares and concerns of the average critter. It travels on sure feet over terrain that looks impossible. It roots out vegetation and uses it for nourishment. It discovers rivulets fed by melting snow and quenches its thirst. It accomplishes this through small, individual [...]
