I’m Depressing, Not Depressed

I haven’t been updating this blog so long I probably have lost all my readers. At least I know Google Bot will never stop visiting me here. I have been engaged with… stuff… so to speak. Besides the usual stuff there’s this unfortunate death of my loyal PC. Let’s just say I wasn’t too happy when I lost half of everything I had. But then again, not losing stuff on a regular basis makes people too comfortable of what they have and possibly overlooking the fact that nothing lasts for as long as they want it to. A false sense of comfort, in short.
Life is volatile, that’s for sure. There’s no 3-strikes before you’re out. There’s no reset button. There’s no reformatting.
Very, very, very depressing stuff.
Honestly, the "comic" above is hard to swallow, even for me. It oozes depression, even when drawn in highly simplistic art. But then again, can you imagine this happening somewhere in the world? I suppose it’s not difficult, because the message is brutally realistic. It sure isn’t hard for me. I once lost a cat in a somewhat similar manner. It wasn’t a pleasant experience. I didn’t take it too well. I absolutely adore cats. What more, my cat. Ever since then, I never wanted to be so close to a pet anymore. I’ve had… 3 or 4 cats after him but I was never really attached to them. I didn’t want to.
Sometimes, I doubt my ways. I don’t want to be cold. But I’m afraid to lose the things I hold so dearly. It’s a pathetic reason, but a valid one nonetheless.
Enough with the depressing talk. Even Google Bot might stop visiting me if I go on. I still adore cats. Very much so. There’s something I do everyday without fail. It helps if I woke up from the wrong side of the bed. It helps if I had a crappy day. It helps if I had I messed up something big. It helps when you feel that the world is against you.

How can your day not be better after seeing something like that? Priceless.
Nah, as long as you have someone (like me) leeching your blog tru RSS, your new post will instantaneously (guess how long i asked my RSS reader to update ;P) be known. Seriously, don’t stop updating your blog. Doesn’t matter if it takes a year between a post. Just. Don’t. Stop.
Oh, btw, i’m subscribed to cyanide and happiness comics. As much as I think the guy who drew it must be one sick cunniving bastard, I just can’t help but pull a grin after reading it. Reverse-psychology perhaps? *sweat drops*

I’ve seen you around more than once, since I believe you’re the only one using the RSS reader that you’re using *wink*. You’re one of the very few regular visitors whom I do not know. But then again, I appreciate your constant attention (or rather your RSS reader’s attention :P) It’s quite an incentive to not stop updating, to know that there are still people who drop by.
Cyanide and Happiness has daily updates and their comics are morbidly absurd but (sometimes) humorous. Not a very common combination, but they can pull something like that off. Though I still prefer LOLcats

Depression, is a process in life. Dwell in it, and move on. Simple things will seem great.

What has writing up a depressing post got to do with taking things slow?

Oh, c’mon, Tze Lun. Down periods happen to everyone. As long as you’re writing, I’m reading. =)

Haha. Even when I’m not down I can seem down.

err…the dog-got-ran-over strip made ma laugh. I think I am just sinister or heartless. Your post isn’t that depressing. It’s just different from the rest. More colourful.

I think I’ve just found a worthy contender.
