Dude, where's my inspiration?

I have to write a 35 page paper, and it is due in less than one month… Only God knows if I can finish the task. What makes it so hard is that it should be a thesis caliber paper; (it took me 1 year and one sem to write my thesis…)

But sooner or later I know that somehow, inspiration will hit me and the words will soon start to flow. These are the tines I envy those who effortlessly write stuff…that make sense.

I don’t know why, but for the past years, I have been lacking the inspiration I need to write; and the cliché “there is inspiration all around you” does not seem to help. So, by the looks of it, my goal to write a Palanca Award winning piece of literature before I hit 30 is going down the toilet.

But despite all that, I will continue to write; maybe one day I will find the inspiration to write, one day I will write an award winning modern-day-novel, but before that, I have to finish my paper.

Blooper Reel

One of my favorite parts in a Pixar movie is where they show the out-takes. It's funny how the animators and writers create these moments where their characters commit these bloopers as if they were real.
I believe that people are so 'amused' by the mistakes of others that it becomes a source of laughter for a few months. Take for example the slaughtering of the song "Kiss Me" by a member of the Viva Hot Babes , or more recent Ms. Philippines episode. As funny as it is to see other people's mistake, we should be able to laugh at our own mistakes.

I remember back in prep, I was selected to run the hurdles during family day. The instruction was that when you reach the tire (which was the halfway point of the course), you must run around it and run back towards the starting line. I was leading by a huge margin, and would have won the race, had I actually followed instructions, instead I ran around in circles around the tire...

As funny as some mistakes may seem, there are those which are not laughing matters. Like how is it a condo unit was built in the middle of a rain forest or how the government failed to foresee the current rice shortage we are facing.

When the government commits certain mistakes, it will never be a laughing matter. These mistakes take the character of moral issues, since a lot of things are compromised. The sad part is, no one ever takes the blame. They always wash their hands and act as if they were more innocent than a new-born-baby.

At the end of the day, I would rather run around in circles again and again, than be those idiots in the government.
