In case you ever wondered how this blog got its name.

Fundamental.

Always Look Like A Samurai

Sup, Internet? *gangsta head-nod*

It’s almost 3am and I am still awake despite only having 5 hours of broken sleep last night. My mind is racing something hardcore; I just cannot seem to turn it off. (Can my fellow insomniacs testify!)

I have something to get off my surfboard chest. Something I need to write down. A little piece of profound wisdom for you all (pffft).

Sometimes life sucks. And I'm not talking about the regular kind of suck, I'm talking about 'it sucks so bad it feels like you're strung from a tree by your feet while being repeatedly hit over the head with a decomposing bass while Peter Andre with his overly gelled hair sings ‘Mysterious Girl’ over and over in the background'. THAT kind of suck. 

HOWEVER

I am here to remind you (just like Alanis Morissette) that sometimes life is good. And I'm not talking about the regular kind of good, I'm talking about 'experiencing life and all its eccentricities in a short amount of time, like: free Jazz shows, gorgeous desserts, beautiful wine, randomly connecting with strangers on the street, mountains of books, discovering the glory of bad 80s soap-operas, etc.'. THAT kind of good.

Life is random and maddening but in a really unpredictable but lovely kind of way – good, bad, ugly, but also ridiculously refreshing. 

Anyway, the best advice I can give is to be strong and fight against the suck! And it's like what Carl Sagan once said: 'The more you look like a Samurai, the better are your chances of survival.' Noted. Always look like a Samurai.

You know what I'm sayin'. *taps nose*
