At some point, though, we have to acknowledge that we choose the people we hang around with. And often because they keep us in roles we’re cosy with, even if they don’t make us happy

Sometimes I do tend to 'like' something on Facebook when I'm feeling too lazy to actually write a comment, or perhaps sometimes when the person isn't particularly close, but they have a somewhat important announcement.

Sun, 10 Jul 2011 14:58:00 -0700 Intuitive eating http://itsamario-quotes.posterous.com/intuitive-eating http://itsamario-quotes.posterous.com/intuitive-eating
If you really think about how complex intra and extracellular water and electrolyte balance is – a complex process moderated by everything from our thyroid gland to our kidneys, you realize right away that this intuitive urge to dilute concentrated salt with water only minutes after ingestion is absolutely astounding. It’s a strong indication of just how fine-tuned our bodies are, and how masterful they are about controlling our involuntary urge to drink.

Kind of gives a whole new meaning to 'these pretzels are making me thirsty'.

Wed, 06 Jul 2011 06:32:00 -0700 Wrong choice http://itsamario-quotes.posterous.com/wrong-choice http://itsamario-quotes.posterous.com/wrong-choice

When you find a lone nut doing something great, have the guts to be the first person to stand up and join in.

I came across this page when reading an article about the overwhelming fear of being wrong. Both make a lot of sense. The former looks at a leader / follower scenario and highlights the pivotal role of the first follower while the latter notes people's indecision as a result of their fear of making the wrong choice.

I hate the idea of there being a 'wrong' choice.

Tue, 05 Jul 2011 01:13:00 -0700 (Don't) toss your expectations into the ocean http://itsamario-quotes.posterous.com/dont-toss-your-expectations-into-the-ocean http://itsamario-quotes.posterous.com/dont-toss-your-expectations-into-the-ocean
Take your expectations, and throw them in the ocean.

Maybe it's just me, but I can't take this idea seriously... unless of course when referring to a film. If I'm about to watch a film I try to clear my mind of reviews I've read and comments friends have made, otherwise I run the risk of being disappointed due to incredibly outrageous expectations (Insidious, I'm looking at you!).

But when it comes to people and plans I like to have certain expectations. Perhaps there are certain scenarios where it is not possible, but I think it's against our very nature to deny ourselves these expectations.

I do, however, also believe in the saying 'man proposes, God disposes' so I am not one who will create an illusion that my expectations will come to fruition.

I also understand that people who have had their hearts broken might feel that denying themselves these expectations will decrease disappointment, and perhaps it will, but you're effectively denying yourself part of the experience.

“Everyone sits in the prison of his own ideas. A human being is a part of the whole called by us “Universe,” a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

– Albert Einstein

Sat, 02 Jul 2011 03:18:00 -0700 Why Do Some Songs Stick in Our Minds Forever? http://itsamario-quotes.posterous.com/why-do-some-songs-stick-in-our-minds-forever http://itsamario-quotes.posterous.com/why-do-some-songs-stick-in-our-minds-forever
How and why are certain songs -- not necessarily our favorites -- seemingly imprinted on our brains? Why are songs we learn later in life -- even those we love -- less likely to imprint in the same way?

I must admit, I do find it slightly harder to connect with songs released more recently, compared with those released 5, 6 or even 15 years ago. Granted, I am only 27, but I certainly do notice a difference there.

We’re living in an international marketplace and online companies are operating in it, yet we continue to put up these false walls at a nations borders. Understandably technology rollouts need to be tested, but this relates to volume, not geography.

Is that hail?

My bro and I were driving to pick up one of his friends and what looked like hail started falling from the sky. It ended up being styrofoam. I must admit, I was slightly disappointed.

Children in homosexual relationships are subject to emotional abuse. Legitimising gay marriage is like legalising child abuse

‘What are you thinking about?’ You always hated it when I asked that question. ‘It’s a tricky question,’ you used to say…that its an illusion to pretend that we can bridge the gap between your thoughts and mine. For you, every person is like a planet, and two different planets can never become one. Two people together will always be: one plus one. I preferred to think of us a bubbles…because when they touch, they merge into one another, like when two people make love. But now I know what you meant…two people together will always be one plus one.

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

He believed what was wrong with a lot of music today is that people aren’t singing about anything. If it’s not about a party or sex then it’s about money, and there’s not really much to that.

Ne-Yo discusses what Michael Jackson thought of today’s music (full article can be found here). I have to say, I agree with MJ on this one. Music about getting crunk at the club and bitches doesn’t tickle my fancy AT ALL… unless it’s catchy, then all bets are off!

Why don’t you replace her face with a gorilla’s and then upload it?

 

I said this to my 12-year old cousin after a schoolmate threatened to report her for uploading a group photo she did not look good in. This has to be the most childish advice I have ever given in my adult life.

I then helped her do this on Photoshop.
