our elaborate lives...



from "aida" the opera..."we all live such elaborate lives, hard to know whose loving who" sometimes it's hard to tell, but i can always tell :)...wonderfully written song. i think that's the magic and surprise of life. true, we all live, playing games we can't all win. nice song by adam pascal & heather headley, original cast in aida, the broadway musical recording. intelligently written lyrics. deep, daring, desperate, despondent. brilliantly executed by talented individuals with awesome gift of the perfect voice. so many choices tore us apart, how true. my name is music, my name touches hearts. with that i am happy and i did not even have a hand with that...(^&*)... our lives are unique plots, chapters in a story. sometimes happy, other times sad. true, we all live such elaborate lives...

the oscar award winning actor who recently died of heroin overdose with a needle still hooked in his arm is a very, very sad story. he was only 46 years old and with 3 very young kids at that. so if you have a similar life using meth plus alcohol and you are a decade younger then you might just have a decade as well to live. his parents were divorced when he was only 9 years old, so maybe one factor? that brought him to this deadly habit. he had talent, money, fame and family and still he was hooked. it is because once you are in, it is hard to get out in this kind of addiction. drugs will rule your life once you are hooked not unless successful intervention is planned with the help of family members. he was in rehab but to no avail. your life will be majorly affected till the end and your loved ones as well. so why not be a hero to us and quit primarily for your own good. the sad part is notable rich members of our society are addicted to drugs such as meth, heroin, cocaine, shabu and the likes. i remember a blog expose about them years back. drug addicts are always living in the dark. please let the grace and the light of God shine upon you... pray, work hard to defeat this devil that you thought nobody knew. i certainly knew, i always knew...
