The X-cuses

I still remember the time when the X-files series was such a huge thing in my teenage life. Maybe i'm considered a geek for being obssessed with Agent Maulder and Scully along with other classmates in our so-called smart-ass, Science class. Despite that,not all of us are nerds, at least not my group. We're the coolest,smartest(relatively) and funniest. (You know who you are.)

Anyway, in college, I had a close roommate,who often analyzed and solved our very own X-files. On why this and that happened, why who and who in our lives behaved the way they did. Those speculations will always be our X-files.

Now, I realized that the X-factor is damn vital in our lives. To hell with X-files when the real reason is X-factor.

Like Simon Cowell's talent show, X-Factor, to be the ONE, needs not only the talent in singing,dancing,performing,looks...etc...the person MUST have the X-Factor. We apply it to our everyday lives.

(However,it only applies to those whose heart rules the head.)

Despite all the sh*t we get every single day:-

• What's the X-factor that made us stay in a dead-end job?
• What's the X-factor that made us like a movie or a song?
• What's the X-factor that made our friends love us despite our flaws?
• What's the X-factor that drives us on in such a meaningless life?
• What's the X-factor that made us fall in love with a puppy?

Too many factors but I know there's one X that I think we keep throwing at each other.

The X-cuses.

Whatever crappy X-factor plays a part in every decision we make because life is indeed so very spontaneous. Then we'll come up with all sorts of X-cuses to justify who we are,what we do,how we feel,who we hurt and most importantly, why we let ourselves do it. Heck,we never try to think our decisions are purely ruled by some incomprehensible factors.

Then we let ourselves give all sorts of X-cuses to cushion the blow and live in denial. I've been so naive and I'm getting so fed-up with them.

Therefore, I tell myself to just bloody X-ccept.
