Cliches.....pffft who needs them

It has been a very while since my last post. My excuse is uni work....I took a self imposed break from any form of major communication of an online nature. Well not break just a reduction.
So the post today is about cliche. I think the majority of all of you would agree that cliche are awful, cringe worthy especially when you are told them like, "There are plenty more fish in the sea" or something else. I know they are more but that's the most often used one. The problem is, that I find, that they are actually true or are in part true.
For instance lets take opportunities of any kind whether its jobs, activities or relationships. The saying "Things happen when you least expect it" happen. For me it has been relationships. Whenever I have looked for a relationship it has never happened then I just go along life normally and someone that I either newly meet or wouldn't expect to go out with, I hook up with.
The problem I have with this is that, and personally for me, is that I can't really true plan anything. I mean lets say I want to carve out a career of some sort. At the minute nothing I have really planned for has happened, things have come out of the blue hence "Things happen when you least expect it".

My question for you guys is this.Has this happened to any of you? Has planning things worked or are you in a situation where you just take things as it comes.

As a secondary thing, do any of you lot really believe in cliche??

Until next time guys.

A Road Goes Two Ways

Well it's 2010, a new decade. I know it's belated by HAPPY NEW YEAR.......now on a personal note I have to say that the end of 2009 was a big stinker. I would like to begin my first post of 2010 with something more uplifting and inspiring but i'm not. Sorry to bursts everyones bubble but lets be realistic about this. How many of you have already broken a resolution you made just before midnight on the 31st of Decemeber 2009.

Now the theme of the post tonight is basically about relationships, whether this is friendship or with a partner but i guess it's mostly aimed at friendship. Near the end of 2009 I got more "involved" with a friend of mine, she is a girl as well. Lets call her Cathy. To cut a long story short, we basically met up, pulled, then she said she wasn't ready for a relationship, i declared my feelings, she had feelings for someone else. She cancels on meeting up on new years day and we haven't spoken since. Now in the midst of that fast and furious rundown is the fact that she said she still wanted to be friends.
Now I see friendship as being a two way street. Both parties have to make an effort. I made an effort. I tried to talk to her on the phone once and a few times on msn. I don't feel as if i didn't make an effort.

What really gets on my bug, and this is specifically with girl mates is that why is it always guys who have to say hi, or is this me. Like even if it's clearly plutonic, why is it. I get really frustrated when i'm mates with a guy or girl yet if i don't make the effort to call or get in contact in some way, i won't hear from them. With Cathy it's the same. Things are a little bit more complicated but i'm not here to blurt out my personal life.

I guess what i'm asking is; does anyone else feel the same? Like they are always the ones who have to make the effort to keep some sort of friendship alive. That when you guys decided to not get in contact for a good 2 weeks or so that they haven't said hello???

I always thought friendship is a two way thing. I'm not saying i'm a saint. I have been bad on some occasions but generally i think i'm pretty good.

I just don't get it. For guys, do you get this more when it comes to girl mates or are you just not bothered. Girls, how do you feel??

Until Next Time Guys
