its been what? forever?

hello world. man this place's cobwebs have cobwebs.


i logged in and stared at blogger's dashboard for a while. i really REALLY  havent been around for quite some time. everything's new and diff. took a while to gather up some oomph before i hit the "New Post" button.

so how's everyone doin? if there even is anyone still there. i think that i've been so occupied with music, uni work, stuff at the new studio, and learning more about who this person called "ming" is, that i've really left out major loads of things

for one, this blog.

~~~~~~~~~~~

threeminutenights was something my friend helped me think up one day.


it was meant to signify how long nights have always felt to me whenever i felt inspired to pen something down, was going thru an emotional up or down, played music through the dark or just sat deep in thought about anything at all. nights just flew by, faster than the day would.


so i used that name for my blog and my youtube channel cuz those are the two outlets that i go to whenever i have something to put down from my heart or head.


this place has always been sorta a journal for me. it helps me remember things, track things, review things. things that make my life what it is. and to learn from it. call it my own personal online life account

i would honestly want to say that with each passing post i put up, i (hopefully) am an improvement of the person who wrote the last post. i mean, isnt that what we strive for in this life? improvement? i mean, that's what i do. kinda makes living more worth it sometimes.


life's so much more to live when you live it for more than yourself. so that's a reason why i need the upgrades. downsides and mistakes always need to be learnt from and fixed, i believe. if not, i dont think i'd be able to cope with the constant upgraded requirements of the world from day to day.


if we cant stand the pressure of society we'll crumble. we'd lose our own identity and just blend into nothingness. i kinda wanna know who i look at in the mirror everyday ya know? haha

bloggin like this kinda helps me keep keeping on in one direction, in this "sky" we know as the world. if anything, the whole motto of "absolute freedom to do whatever we want" kinda hits hard if you think about it. with no road lights or proper signs to cage or rule us, how do u know which way to fly? sure if you were on the road, u'll just make your own way. but that isnt really what life is, isnt it?


i think many times when people want freedom to fly, we kinda forget that the sky isnt really an empty place. those blue carpets and white clouds are filled with airplanes, storms, winds, heat and it's a long drop down if you crash into any of that and fall

maybe sometimes we want freedom too much, too fast.

the man that believes he has total and complete freedom has only been caged by his own folly.




if tomorrow i can look back on this post and say that "yeap, that was me. im sticking to what i believe in. and boy, i got better at doing what i need to do".. then for me, im glad.


if i can look back on all the posts ive done in this blog, past blogs, posts, comments, messages and say that i've come a long way from that, i've broken out of the past then  yes. i am glad.


good choices are awesome. but for me, it's what i do after a poor one that really defines my life.

i always have two choices when that happens.
1. keep rolling in the shit, get stinkier and dirtier and make more bad choices
2. get up, wipe the crap outta my face, flush it down the toilet, clean up, learn, get better.




honestly, i choose number 1 alot. especially right after a bad chioce happens.


number 2 comes along after a while of self-pity. and heck, i cling onto it when it does.




my life isnt any story about awesomeness, eventhough i over-use that word. or even achievements, be it socially, personally, academically, or spiritually


but it's a story about how many times ive fallen and gotten up. gritted my teeth and pushed through storms. learned. gotten better at what i sucked at.


and that, makes me the person i am today.







so world, or whoever is reading this.


i challenge you to be more than you. and i'll covenant that with me saying that i'll get better, and keep getting better at being me. at being what i meant to be.

and i wont let anything steal, kill, or destroy that.

screw that whole "FML" concept. you can step over my dead body before i'll utter that acronym.
