He sits in the corner staring into darkness. Tears streaming down his cheek. He screams out in pain but no one hears him. He's thinking about what he has done...the lies that were said...the people who were cheated....the heart that was broken. He's the worst person on earth and he deserves to be punished...

crappy video but the best I could do....I need to work on my video skills...hmm...

Right now being me is the loneliest place to be...

Trying the Video feature on the 7D...

Shot at the Dubai Auto showCamera Model : Canon EOS 7D

Was at the Auto show yesterday as press. Here's a short teaser from the 700 pictures I took. This shot is unedited apart from cropping. I love the 7D!! :D

So a friend of mine (lets call him Mu) asked my opinion regarding a situation he's in. I'm not sure how he ended up telling me this but now I literally know almost everything about his love life...weird. Anyway here's the situation....

Basically he's been going out with a girl (lets call her Ri) for over a year now but things haven't turned out the way he thought they would.
Initially when he had started liking Ri, he did a lot of things to impress her and after a long waiting period, she agreed to be with him. But things got complicated and she ended up being not the girl he had initially liked.

Then there is this other girl (lets call her Ta) who Mu used to like a lot ages ago but she had turned him down. Just recently he finds out that Ta has started liking him also and being the not so happy boyfriend he tends to get close to Ta and starts liking her all over again but Ta refuses to be with him due to various family issues.

So Mu wants to be with Ta who does not want to meet Mu again (she's scared she'll end up doing something stupid) while Ri has no idea all this has been happening...

He was curious to know what I thought about it and even though the right decision would be to stay with Ri and fix the issues instead of running behind Ta and possibility not getting anything in the end i.e losing both Ri and Ta, I told him to run behind Ta cause that's where he wants to be and that's what he should do......good advice or bad..?? any opinion welcome....
