This is goona be a real short one...just have to venge my anger and frustration else where....if only they had a Hyde Park here, it would have been easier....I just don't know why people enjoy annoying and irritating others.....i sometimes wonder what pleasure they have...then again i wonder why i allow them to do this to me...really, you are so not worth my time...so go play far far coz you are not welcomed here....Guess if you wanna stick around, then I'm leaving....uuurrrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It "Neverwas"...
This is dedicated to that one person who thinks I base my blogs on them and the conversations we have...thanks for being the spice in my life ;)
Review Summary
A man seeks to unlock the mysteries of his family's tragic past in this drama. Zach Riley (Aaron Eckhart) is a psychiatrist who has resigned a prestigious position at a major university to take a job at the Millwood Clinic, a private residential facility run by one Dr. Reed (William Hurt). Riley tells Reed he was inspired to come to Millwood by the case of a family friend who was a patient there years before, but what Riley doesn't mention is the person in question was his father, T.L. Pierson (Nick Nolte), a successful but reclusive children's author whose book "Neverwas" became a remarkable critical and popular success. For all his talent and success, Pierson was haunted by mental illness and drug addiction, and after leaving Millwood he committed suicide, with young Zach finding the body. Ever since, his mother (Jessica Lange) has been bitter and blamed Zach for Pierson's death, and he's come to Millbrook looking for answers and closure regarding his dad. While working with the patients at Millwood, Riley strikes up a friendship with Gabriel (Ian McKellen), a charming older man with a poor connection to reality who was friendly with Pierson when they were both in treatment there; Riley also renews his childhood friendship with Maggie Blake (Brittany Murphy), a Millwood intern who was powerfully affected by "Neverwas" when she was young. Neverwas is the first feature film from writer and director Joshua Michael Stern and certainly a darn good effort.
I recently watched this movie and I must added was simply amazing...if you are one of those who rather sit down and not use much of your thinking cap while watching movies.....then "Neverwas" will certainly be part of your never will list...But for those of you who loves to exercise their thinking caps, then this movie will give you more than just a 1.30 hours exercise..for me it was a life long realization...to what you may ask...read on and you will find out
From the review, I'm sure you pretty much got the gist of the movie..From my understanding it was about the book "Neverwas". The author (Pierson) of this best seller wrote this book while he was in rehab with the help of his friend, Gabriel. "Neverwas" is a kingdom while Gabriel is the King. Pierson said, before he died, that Zach (Pierson's son) will rescue Gabriel from here (the rehab) and send him back to his kingdom. I think I am confusing you, right?? well watch the movie....in short what I'm trying to say is that, people in the rehabs may not be psycho..they just believe all that others says...and from beliefs, it just becomes reality...just like Neverwas..Gabriel made all his beliefs from Pierson a reality while the whole world laugh at him....
coming to think about it...that's what we all tend to do...laugh at people's beliefs or faith and they end up thinking it is real...life is all SNAFU (situation normal, all fucked up)

Is ignorance really blilss??
Hmmmmm...over the weekend, someone slapped me with this thought...got me thinking about it..
Is ignorance really bliss?? Honest truth?..I think it is...and I am sure not convicing myself about it...this about all the situations
1) Been going out with a man for 18 months...now 18 months for Darshini is LONG!!...so the story...boy meets girl, boy and girl like each other, start the relatioship on friendship basis for a little while and venture into the lust and stayed on there for a long time...only to find out at the 18th month that the girl was not the only girl....is ignorance here really bliss?? then it was so paintful...but the pain doesn't stay for long...it's all long gone now and we have moved out and on...when I see him now, it never crosses my mind, not sure of his though...
2) Divorce of my parents...this one, ignorance is certainly bliss....till this very moment, after 6 years since they were legally divorced, I do not want to know the cause of it all....because, naturally you end up hating someone, blaming someone and hurting someone...life is so blissful now, and I wouldn't want to mess that up
3) I just think when you know too much, you draw conclusions in your head....boy meets girl, girl finds boy rather interesting, gril falls for boy, only to find out boy like someone else...now that someone will always be in girl's mind, day and night...but if girl never knew that in the first place, she would have been happier..not so clinggy to boy, given boy all that space ...see, ignorance would have been bliss
4) Girl had an abortion, girl now meet the perfect boy of her dreams...they are planning to get married...do you think girl should ever tell boy about the past?? Ignorance is bliss....trust me on this one, if boy ever know that fact from girl, he may be all cool and all, but when things turn sour, boy oh boy, he will bring it up....
i honestly think ignorance is bliss...because if i know, i will keep imagining it...but if i didn't and you left hints...i will soon forget all that hints, especially if we are having loads of good times togetehr...this is in every friendship and relationship....you might say, where's the trust then?? but if you know the truth will hurt someone, then why tell...life is too short to be living it so hurtful all the time...do i make sense??

The Middle Man
I am sure there are many times in our life that we end up or even sometimes choose to be the middle men...Being the middle men is certainly not the easiest thing.
When it is friends, I find it real easy to say 'Nop, don't wanna hear about it"or even sometimes turn the deaf ear to bitching and arguments...
But how do you do that with family members...not siblings but parents... Not easy I must stress... I thought once the divorce was all over with, I could promote myself to the first single woman for once...but I guess I was wrong...It's a long story really...Just needed a place to rant and rave and Thank you Leena for listening...
Oh ya, on that note...life is short, DON"T be the middle men..yup, I am darn good in giving advise but it's a shame I cant seem to practice this one..

Meaning of Dreams
You know the feeling - you get up in the morning, laughing and the same time trying to comprehend the dream or sometimes nightmares you had.
Some doesn't make sense at all but we seek to give it meaning...we crack our heads all the way to work trying to figure out the sign of warnings it's trying to narrate to you...
I had one very funny one today...and I’m still trying to figure out what it really means...
But they also say, that you end up dreaming about things that has been bothering you throughout the day...Maybe..
My home has been invaded by two little creature, which I must say, I managed to kill last week (in that battle with this little creature, I bruised my elbow and nearly broke my nose!!) - that last bit, such an exaggeration. Okay..the dream, yup...it's something about me, trying to kill this lizard, but funny part is this lizard could talk and it was attending a job interview (I think these are stress from the Elevator Programme @ the Hilton).... But evil Darshini was all out this kill this creature. Somehow it fell into the bathroom sink and I decided to let the water flow so that it would die in suffocation (God! cruel me... If this is one of the skills needed for a sadist, then I so have it and mastered it)...funnily enough, the lizard started expanding in water...after sometime, when I thought the lizard had died, I turned off the tap. This little bugger got back to his original 2 inch size and ran off...
Yup..that was my weird dream... I still wanted to understand the significance on this lizard in my dreams, and this is what i got from the web...pretty interesting :
Lizard
Enemies will cause you injury, but if in the dream you are killing a lizard means you will have a good reputation and will regain lost fortune.
Hmmmm...shall update you readers if anything like regaining lost fortune every happens this month...
You got to check this out the website....if any of these animals appear in your dream, you'll know what it means...save all time wasted in trying to fix the puzzle
