sigmund freud, the one man who actually had the time to analyse how the libido grows in a person. go do some research, and tell me if its pure brilliance, or utter nonsense. for the sake of information, i shall list the stages down:

1) oral stage (exemplified by an infant's pleasure in nursing)
2) anal stage (exemplified by a toddler's pleasure in controlling his or her bowels)
3) phallic stage (where the child fixated on the mother as a sexual object, known as the Oedipus Complex but that the child eventually overcame and repressed this desire because of its taboo nature.The lesser known Electra complex refers to such a fixation upon the father.)
4) puberty

note: mom, this is what i have to learn if i take criminology soooo don't start calling me and demanding answers for my 'rated' post.

freud also analysed dreams. he believed that things you dream about represents something else. one of his examples includes :- cigar=penis.

read more of it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmund_Freud#Psychosexual_development

psychosexual development aside, i've been thinking a lot about 2 of the many favourite people in my life. both so distinct, yet similar.

for ian and john :-

its sad to see we've all walked away from our comfort zone, into the world we once feared. we used to hide in our own little sanctuary and share what we've been through to gear each other up for The Day when we will go under the sun again.

but we all failed someway or the other. and the fact that all of us refuse to confide in each other now, for fear that the other can't face our problems, let alone their own, is just too much.

'I get lost in your eyes and I cant help but feel like I'll never find love there again.. ' familiar?

at least we all tried. i admire your strength. my merman, and my darkforce.
