Sometimes it is not what we are faced with that scares us deeply, but the unknown that might happen to us as a result that is truely frightening. In life, people are such that they are more comfortable in the confines of what is obvious and observable to them, and when this is taken away, uncertainty, doubt and despair kicks in. Even in madness, the mind retreats to a place that protects it from further trauma. This probably stems from the belief that we are unable to have control of anything except our mind and bodies, hence this need to exert some form of control, or autonomy.
What if one day we discover that we are but insignificant in this world? just a tiny speck of dust that gets blown away when the wind comes?
I've been so occupied with school that I haven't had time to sit down and read a book for weeks already. This is starting to get quite depressing.
Gotta read this. Probably one of those greatest punk'd moments of the century. To think that such an act was conducted under the noses of many music academics and all across the world. How brazen indeed.
Oh and did I ever tell you that itunes rocks? bwahaha.
I've been hooked on the series, Heroes. Yup I know I'm a little late, but it's soo good that I just can't wait till the next episode.
And I have a couple of papers to do. Somebody help me.
I just watched the entire Thai team walk off the field in protest of a late penalty awarded to the Singapore side in the 83rd minute.
Wah! so happening! Last match at the national stadium also like that :P
Found a cockroach sitting in the bathtub just as I was going to take my shower. I flushed it with water till it was dazed, then finished him off with another minute of scalding hot water.
There's something very primal about cockroaches that make you cringe inside.
Spent almost 2 hours wrecking my brains over some philosophy logic question that had relation to Semantics in linguistics, only to find that my answer was wrong right from the start. Oh well. I think I need to spend a lot more time training myself to see such things at a glance. I've always believed that what others can do with pure genius, I can do with doubly hard work. I hope I'm right this time.
Haha sorry about that. Just saw Starship Troopers on the tele and it brought back a lot of memories of myself when I was a kid and the mixed feelings of joy, awe and terror that I got when I first saw the whole bug alien shite. Of course, that was, and still is, one of the best alien action movies ever in my opinion. I love the movie to bits.
Fantastic game, with the whole dark and gritty feel of the war. The minute the first scenario started, I realised that I had to storm the beach of Normandy, a scenario Andy and myself knew only too well from our Memoir '44 games. True enough, the bloodbath happened, although I made it up the banks to complete the mission.
Good shit
What do you do when you feel like you're heading for a burnout? Especially the kind where you feel overwhelmed by every single thing that starts tugging at your priority strings?
