"Contradictory Proverbs"
Have you ever wondered how sometimes two proverbs can mean entirely opposite things, yet seem equally believable?
Here's an example:
"Out of sight, out of mind." vs. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder."
Both of them are seemingly true, so which is more correct? (Don't say "it depends".)
Here's a solution to the paradox -- let Google decide!
"Out of sight, out of mind": 998,000 results.
"Absence makes the heart grow fonder." 176,000 results.
We have a winner!
~ I don't see you any more. Ergo, you're out of my mind now. Goodbye!

But don't worry about me, I'm going to be OK.

Just ten months over here, then I'll head to the USA
Don't worry about me -- I'm going to be OK.

Really. It's not bad here. It's pretty OK.
Blending fact, fiction and fantasy
It's called poetic license, OK?

II.
(Lyrics of 3 Doors Down's "Here Without You")
A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

My dose is blogged. I have a gold. Does anybody 'ave a gure for by stubby dose? :(

"Choosing Your Friends"
The following was written on the back of one of my notebooks:
Obviously, I felt I could come up with something better:
"Choose your friends like you choose your socks -- make sure they match, and don't stink."
Update/P.S: This friendship-themed post having happened to have been posted on Friendship Day was purely a coincidence! Really!
