Fire fire everywhere, hahaha

This is interesting. Kamijo's decided to insult Yoshi in a very public manner, which is totally unbecoming of someone who was welcomed pretty warmly when he announced his presence.

I think people are starting to think that forums are their own platform for airing their thoughts, however strange they may be. I'm not against an opinion; it's just that it has to be relevant to wherever you are at the moment. After all, you wouldn't bring up fishing at a cooking forum, would you?

Is there such a thing as a cooking forum? Wonders will never cease.

I wish everyone would ignore posts like that. Then the poster (ahahaha) would have no choice but to quietly drop out of radar range, or run the risk of being caught in the crosshairs of my rifle, hohoho.

It's not that I don't want to reply, cos some posts are just too ridiculous to be ignored, but the very act of replying validates the existence of these types of people, which might actually spur them onto making even more posts! It's the whole vicious cycle thing. Doesn't anyone ever learn?

It's very silly. The moment someone stirs up as hornets' nest, the Babblers rally together in a show of solidarity against whatever it is that is offensive. The problem is, it's like passive immunity, and no 'memory cells' are formed from the experience. Oh sure there are more level headed members of SDBC, and then there are the slightly off-kilter ones, both groups of whom can't be bothered to get involved in such rubbish, but there will always be a group who insists on being outraged, signaling the start of another 'great war'.

Axl Rose asked, 'What's so civil about war anyway?' for all his insanity, he was right, dammit.

I haven't learned either. I still vent my feelings when a post like Kamijo's comes up, and wonder why we can't have peace and happiness all the time, over and over again!

Baka.

Right, one last observation, and then I'm done with writing about ridiculous posts! Ok, here goes: more often than not, the people who post such inflammatory posts are those who are very young (yes, this is me speaking from the vantage point of 'seniority'. Sue me. Screw you.), as are the people who are offended and thus reply to it. Therefore, conflict is about immaturity of thought, where the fires of the youth are inflamed by the fans of controversy. Alas, younger people are not as open minded as they think they are (ooh, I sound so old), hence the vicious cycle.

If only there was some way to present this without making it sound condescending. I'm sure it would solve a lot of problems. Gee, look at me, I'm an idealist.

You Are a Drag Queen!

What Kind of Queen Are *You*?

Sunday is for rest... what was I thinking?

Well, Arul actually smokes. This is a surprise! I always thought that he wasn't the sort. Shows how much appearances count. Too bad Lali couldn't make it to meet us. I wonder what Faizal was doing that he couldn't join us.

Ah well. Maybe it was just as well that there was only me, Ha and Arul. Any more people and we would have needed another table, and that's a pretty troublesome thing to at a food court.

The first week of our holidays is over. In contrast, those lucky bastards from ITM have just started theirs, and it goes on for two months! Lucky lucky lucky bastards.

thinks for a bit

On the other hand, what is one to do for two months if one has no plans to work? I want to get a job, but I only have two weeks left in a pitiful holiday.

sighs

It seems it took a week just to recover from the effects of the exams. I seem to be doing more stupid things than usual, like, putting a dark colored font on a dark colored background, as well as saying, 'Fahrenheit?' when a friend was talking about the temperature his feverish cat had. Simply brilliant. You had to be there to believe it.

wonders where brains went

I imagine that they were only used for memorizing notes answering questions. I imagine that the actual places in my grey matter that were used to really think have actually atrophied from disuse. After all, how much thinking does an exam need anyway?

Oh gaud, something needs to be done!!! I propose that I spend all my time doing totally non-academic stuff. However, it seems to consist of a lot of onlining. Gee, what happened to the burning desire to read all those books I bought at that warehouse sale over a month ago? Seems to have been dampened by the internet, hoho. I suppose I'll have to make an effort.

Learning html is a non-academic past time that needs thinking. But when I think of that, every fibre in my being wants to go and look at clothes and boots with tall, wicked looking heels! Aversion therapy methinks. I have been taught not to think anymore than necessary!

Take the Which Madonna Video Are You? Quiz

This is a little freaky. The vidoes seem like polar opposites of each other.

I'm bipolar!!!

Life is interesting in unexpected ways

Ah, alright. I've decided that this blog should be like an update center for the friends that I hardly see anymore, namely, those who are studying out of Kuala Lumpur, those who live outside Kuala Lumpur, and especially the pen pals whom I've woefully neglected.

I'm a bad pen pal. If I had pets, they'd all be dead within a day. If I had plants, they'd all shrivel up and die at the thought of their new home. I probably have a reputation in the animal and plant kingdom. They're probably all getting ready to jump me and rip my guts out to avenge their fallen brethren.

I'M SORRY FOR ALL THE GOLDFISH I'VE KILLED, REALLY.

Ah. Inspiration is running dry, tank is running low.

Oh gross, there's a guy on Ripley's Belive It or Not who's changing himself into a cat! Loser! Loser loser loser. Will he lick himself clean then? And will he shag a cat and have himself lil' baby kitty cats?

chants 'loser loser' over and over again
