theistic existentialists

does the title sound a bit absurd? try "goggling" it... or better yet wikipedia...
that best describes my anxiety these days... i thought i was being rational or realist, but im just being existentialist... just being me.
i first come across this word last year (which i also blogged) but then i missed what's the real meaning of the word... now, im living it...
kierkegaard and tillich have detailed description about this, and it's fun to finally explain the way im feeling these days... that's why i enjoyed richard linklater's movies and sophia coppola's lost in translation, it did actually contain existential themes... this is getting fascinating, as to finally confirm im sane 0_0 (to borrow an icon from kai, damn im stealing again)
this could be a good awakening for me...
but i have to get back to my work, i need to finish all those policies, procedures and templates... trying to "impose structure on a world of phenomena that is fundamentally irrational and random (sarte)"
contradicting what i am made of...
i will survive this, i dont know how but i will... that is existentialism for you...

house of spektor

someone ask me to listen to regina spektor... whew!
well, if you're gonna ask me how is she... then i'm out of words...
my already altered state of mind has been altered some more...
hhhmmm, it seems i can describe dr. house more because he has intentions, while regina's music... i dont have a clue where she's heading....
i swear if ever regina and dr. house would have a conversation i would like to be in the front row listening...
they both play with words nicely, very sarcastic, trying to be different, insane...
both is really aware that they dont give a damn about what would people say about them...
just wondering... are the people who likes listening to regina spektor and watching the tv series house could be describe as above... and if ever i found another one who does... i'd say to her/him... congratulations, here's for you from Queen "...another one bites the dust..."
oh yeah, i have a word to describe them regardless of intentions... "cruel!".. :-p

obviously i wrote the title last coz i was not planning on blogging about greg house until i recognized a comparison....

the mind

im having mild anxiety attacks the fast few weeks... weird and unnatural for someone who thinks he has great control. yeah, i always thought i had a good control of my life... first, i identify the things that is out of my hand then i make use the full potential of those i could reach... well, it seems like it's cheating or very scheming but for me it's not... it is not breaking rules but "bending the rules"... and im good at it... the japanese thought me how to strictly follow rules, the indians thought me to be convincing, the chinese to be persistent, the malaysians to be proud of what you have and the filipinos to make "palusot"...
and being anxious for quite some time now... it feels really weird... where are all those rational thinking that i thought i have?
maybe it's only now that it is becoming a blur... having spent some of my time in those different countries, experiencing different cultures (and some awful foods)... my mind has been coaxing me to do something but then i end up doing nothing... my rational brain told me to slow down, so i gave in to my sis and attended a "spiritual spa"... it was ok while i was there, until i came back to my bed and started becoming anxious again... some people could sleep better in their beds, and im the reverse...
something is egging me, and i cant quite decipher who/what... but i will catch you... i just hope i wont catch my own tail... damn... that would really be a hard pill to swallow...
but then what's to be there to be anxious... i like love stories anyway...
