tower of goo.....

Recently one of my friends showed me a game called world of goo, it's a logic game, where you solve puzzles mainly by building intricate towers or structures out of pieces of goo that come together.
After going through all the weirdness and finishing the game, there's a game mode there where you get to build a tower from all the goo you've accumulated throughout the game. The challenge is to create the tallest tower anyone has ever created, you can connect to the internet to see the current leader boards on the highest tower built. Mine is only up to 27.3 meters T_T, last time i checked...the highest was 50 meters.


Everyone has their own tower of goo. They try to make it as tall as they can...but in the process....the tower falls over and all their hard work goes down with it.
In life, the same thing happens, when you're building your reputation or when you're reaching for your goal...you will fail! everyone does the first time. It's how you learn from your mistake that will let you reach your goal.

A few months ago, i talked to a High school friend of mine...i told him that i have a problem (in my earlier blogpost i narrated a story to how me and my friends(in ust) became outcasts from the block), i told my friend that i'm having trouble with my friends, i was getting irritated with them, coz they think the other one is stupid but in reality...both them are stupid, one of them is greatly iritable and extremely boastful and the other one is a gigantic push over, a cry baby, and an over all loser. They are my friends because they are the only ones who aren't stabbing me in the back and they are the only ones who talk to me. No matter how much i want to ditch them, i can't coz...i have nowhere else to go and i feel a little guilty about ditching them. So i'm stuck with them. Recently, a new guy joined our little group, now this guy is good at EVERYTHING except basketball. At first it was all good...now he's starting to feel the same way i do... now he sees how stuck i am. It was too late, he's already involved with all the issues our little group has...now i'm guilty of not warning him, he asked me to talk to our friends and tell them to change their bad habits, Because he knows...deep down, our two friends are good persons, they just suck at showing it. So now...i have this task of confronting our two friends But..i have no idea how to do it.

I just hope this tower of goo doesn't collapse....
