demons are on my way. shooo!

i finally got to watch Angels & Demons today.
only after anticipating it for more than a year lol...
and the movie didnt turn me down!!
awesome!!
except that imo the front part is a bit too draggy
n i'd rather watch an all-four-preferetti-died scence, just like the book
instead of one of them being saved...
anyway, i really wanna read the book for the second time since i forgot almost all of the details...

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference

oh yes, one of my favourite poems.
okay, not that i like a lot of poems...
it almost perfectly describes my experiences and dilemmas in many ways...
oh a common example would be,
choosing to take sociology instead of intro to mass comm which is a million times easier...bleh...

i often find myself choosing the relatively difficult path,
maybe i want to prove that i can do it,
or live up to people's expectations. (that's so not good)
and the thing is, most of the time i'm not even mentally tough to be able to cope with the situations...
but i truly believe that choosing your own path, not the right/common path will work its way till the end....

ouch...
i'm getting philosophical here...
too immersed into the worlds of Comte, Spencer, Marx n other sociologists...

well, maybe i shouldn't be pushing myself too hard??
go for the hard way, and be successful??
or the easier way, which will be succesful as well??
i prefer the former...
because an easier way doesnt bring you sense of accomplishment, and true happiness...
