Guilty Things That Pleasure Me

In life, there are a lot of things that one can indulge his/her self with and attain happiness, or in other words pleasure. Although pleasure and happiness is related, not all pleasures come from a positive action or activity. Things that are considered as wrong or inappropriate could also bring pleasure. Things that make us feel guilty, but we still do it nonetheless for the sake of pleasure. These are the guilty things that pleasure me.

1) Procrastination.

Since I was a child this attitude of mine is hard to get rid of. Although I’ve been reminded countless times about how making full use of time and getting my work done early would benefit me in so many ways, I always ending up getting my work done at the very last minute and procrastinate as long as there is still time for me to do so. The feeling of guilt does come, but the pleasure of procrastination is far more superior.

2) Laugh, laugh, laugh and laugh some more.

I am the type of person who has the needs to laugh at all times. It is hard for me to not to laugh. I would seek for the tiniest, the most minuscule reason to laugh at even at the most serious occasions that I am in. people who realizes this, might find it rude for example when in a meeting or in a middle of a serious conversation. But, I just can’t help it.

3) Farting in public areas.

This is an act that is just simply inappropriate and unacceptable, but still It gives me great pleasure to watch people starting to make faces and cursing randomly at others when the stench rises in the ambience. For this particular activity, it gives me the ultimate pleasure when strangers are involved during this despicable act of corrupted etiquette, because they would make an expression of despise and annoyance through their faces, but nothing would come out from their mouths, although they have a whole lot to say.

All of these are true and I do feel guilty every time I did one of these acts, but the truth is we as humans can’t deny the fact that nobody is perfect and being perfect would make this world a whole lot less fun than it is at this present time. Don’t judge me, because these are the guilty things that pleasures me and I believe everyone have a list of their own too.

Live life, love life.

The Blind Side






The Blind Side

Directed by: John Lee Hancock

Produced by: Broderick Johnson, Andrew Kosove and Gil Netter.

Starring : Sandra Bullock, Tim MgGraw, Quinton Aaron, Jae Head, Kathy Bates, Lily Collins, Ray McKinnon, Kim Dickens, Adriane Lenox.

Soundtrack: 24 tracks from various artists including Five For Fighting, Uncle Kracker, Young Mc, Lucy Woodward, The Books and Canned Heat.


The Synopsis:

The Blind Side depicts the story of Michael Oher, a homeless African-American youngster from a broken home, taken in by the Touhys, a well-to-do white family who help him fulfill his potential. At the same time, Oher’s presence in the Touhys’ lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of their own. Living in his new environment, the teen faces a completely different set of challenges to overcome. As a football player and student, Oher works hard and, with the help of his coaches and adopted family, becomes an All-American offensive left tackle.

The Review

The Blind side is a family orientated movie that is both heartwarming and interesting. It is interesting to see that a white family could treat a total stranger like their own and it is even more bizarre that the stranger is an almost 7 foot tall black male. The Touhys are setting an incredible example towards everyone that watches the movie, especially the character of Leigh Ann Touhy which was played by academy award winner Sandra Bullock. Although at the beginning husband and father, Sean Touhy and daughter Collins Touhy seemed reluctant to accept Michael Oher as a part of the family but Leigh Ann is a very persistent and determined woman, she looks at Michael as a son at the same time she was able to get Michael and her biological son Sean Touhy Junior (SJ) to have this great bond developed between them, and considered him as just another human being that should be given the same opportunity just like any other person and develop to his full potential. Overall The Blind Side gives awareness to the audiences that love is what the world needs right now. Less hating, makes the world a much better place.

Love is the voice under all silences.

Love is the one word that is associated with the feeling of happiness, pleasure, bliss, joy, and delight. A word so simple it could make the heart melts, make the knees weak, sent shivers down the spine, brings the widest smile to the face, and even bring tears prickling down the cheeks. Love knows no boundaries, love comes in all shapes and sizes and love comes from all sorts of ways and directions. We do anything, everything for love. We express love in our own unique ways. To love and being loved back is a feeling that is indescribable, unexplainable, a feeling that brings euphoria to the mind and heart to its highest peak. People are planting the thought in their mind that, love needs to be utter, only then their love is considered to be true and real. For this is such a narrow minded thought because the love of two lovers is so powerful that it made both speechless, lost for words. Love of a mother is so pure that she can connect with her child even they are miles apart with each other. Love of a father is so true and visible he expresses them by presenting it in ways that we can see them. The utterance of the word love may mean everything or nothing at all. Love is as love does. It’s just the way we see and interpret how the message of love is being presented and delivered that differs and conflict with each other. Whether we realize it or not, Love is the voice under all silences.
