Say What You Need To Say - John Mayer
Take all of your wasted honor.
Every little past frustration.
Take all of your so called problems,
Better put 'em in quotations.
Say what you need to say (x8)
Walkin' like a one man army,
Fightin' with the shadows in your head.
Livin' up the same old moment
Knowin' you'd be better off instead
If you could only...Say what you need to say (x8)
Have no fear for givin' in.
Have no fear for giving over.
[ Say What You Need To Say lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
You better know that in the end
It's better to say too much, than never to say what you need to say again.
Even if your hands are shaking,
And your faith is broken.
Even as the eyes are closin',
Do it with a heart wide open.
(Wide Heart)
Say what you need to say (x7)
Say what you need to, Say what you need to...
Say what you need to say.

A Lifetime Inspired
Not many people can say they know what the purpose of life is. Most people go through a lifetime not knowing what they live for, or what we should be living for. From my experience, there is no need nor reason to seek for a purpose in life. We spend our time asking questions for a reason to live, in vain, I believe.
The most important aspect of living is to make our lives as meaningful as possible. Since a while ago, I have stopped asking myself what the purpose of life is. We go through challenges day in and day out, we get tested by "god" or "nature" or "life" as we call it in our different beliefs and we inevitably question our faith, and reason for being. Someone asked me, why should there be a reason for living? Why must there be a purpose? In relation to my post about the "New Year", I would like to restate that it is of utmost importance to know "whither we are tending". If there is no purpose, then there is no need or desire to go anywhere, and we would just be floating entities of nothingness. So I argue that there is a purpose, unknown as it may be, and probably unseekable.
Coming back to the purpose of this blog post albeit not the purpose of my life, I would just like to share a little something about what makes my life more meaningful. We can go through life doing what makes us happy. In fact, that is probably the happiest you can make yourself to be. To obtain a larger degree of what is termed but undefined as "happiness", yes, there can be more happiness than what we can conjure, we must notice that other people can become the source of our very own happiness too. One obvious example you might come up with would be your loved ones. But that is not the point I am addressing today. I am talking about the greater happiness that the world can bestow upon us, how making other people happy, can make us happy.
Many people are easily disillusioned by a grandeur of an ideal. I am humble enough to believe that I could be one of these people. But I have always been happy to be able to inspire people, to help people maximize their potential, to be all they can be. I feel the joy in the joy of others. I may not be employed, or working in a back office somewhere in the outback, or anything, but I will make it my reason for being to inspire people, to show them what they are meant to do. I say this with confidence, yet humility, in hopes of not being ridiculed, but in the spirit of sharing and good faith. It will be my purpose, to help you find yours. How am I going to do this, in this world of more than 6 billion people? One at a time, my friends, one at a time.

Blow Your Mind
Many of you might not even come close to understanding what this is about. But I just witnessed a masterpiece today. Definitely one of the best games of Warcraft ever played. This will fucking blow your mind. Many of you won't even know who Grubby is, but he is definitely one of the greatest champions of any sport. He may have only won the WCG (World Cyber Games) once, but his attitude and character is exemplary, top notch, and definitely admirable. Here is some background info on Grubby:
Grubby is a player that is wanted by most teams, not just for his Warcraft skills. He is a positive influence to his team mates, a great motivating force, and a good friend to all. A few posts ago, I posted one of his articles and for those of you who did not read it, please do! It's titled "Fickle Balance". Ignore the technical details of Warcraft and you shall witness your common misconception of what a "geek" pro-gamer is being blown to smithereens. His eloquence is obvious and exhibits thoughtfulness and maturity despite playing "Orc" which is deemed to be a disadvantage at the highest level of gaming.
But today is not a day for me or any of us to glorify Grubby. I doubt it will be the case any other day. In about 10 years, many of us would have forgotten him. Nevertheless, this game of his will remain. For those of you who have a copy of Frozen Throne 1.21, I assure you that your time will not be wasted in watching the imba-ness that is exhibited in the game that is downloadable below.

If you do not see what is amazing about this game, please let me know, ask me questions, and I will give you what I hope will do justice to the great masterpiece, an explanation. As someone who watches replays all the time, I can say that I have watched hundreds of Grubby's games and never before have I seen him play like that. He was truly in the zone. With all being said and done, I hope that you can enjoy this as much as I have and if you think I am being a geek for thinking so highly of what is "just a computer game" to you, as they say in New Jersey, "Suck my balls!"
Manuel "Grubby" Schenkhuizen (May 11, 1986–), is a Dutch professional player of the real-time strategy game Warcraft III (his primary race is "Orc"); he is currently signed to the top electronic sports team: MeetYourMakers (MYM). He was rated the #1 top Warcraft III player in the World by SK Gaming and WCReplays.com on February 2006, going up from the second place (first spot was held by Grubby's rival Jang Jae "Moon" Ho he received when the ranking was first conceived 3 months earlier). Now Moon and Grubby are team mates at MYM.
Grubby is primarily a solo competitor, but is well known for being one of the best 2v2 team players in the world. In the past, he has formed strong teams with former 4Kings members such as Myth, Yoan "ToD" Merlo, and Olav "Creolophus" Undheim, achieving great success in clanwars and team competitions such as WC3L. It awaits to be seen whether Manuel will play in MyM's 2v2 team.
Showing consistent strong tournament finishes since 2004, together with Moon he is the only player in WarCraft 3 history to have at least one major tournament every year since 2004. To be more precise: he won the World Cyber Games in 2004, the Electronic Sports World Cup in 2005 and the World Series of Video Games in 2006.
His total prize money earnings exceed $160,000 USD. Additional incomes over the years have come from various sources such as a salary received from professional gaming team 4Kings and offering Warcraft 3 lessons.
In the web Mockumentary, Pure Pwnage, the main character Jeremy receives a phone call from "Grubby", a reference to Manuel. Jeremy notes on his inability to beat "Gosu Night elf players".
As of January 22, 2008 Grubby's previous clan 4Kings disbanded, and a few days after that Grubby was offered a place in MYM. The team MYM which contains Moon and Lucifer and other top players now acquired yet another powerhouse, making the team seemingly indestructible.
