I jus' read my last post, the one before this, and I was pissed! Haha! You know you have embarrasing moments or moments that you kinda blow your top, and when you talk about it with your friends, you jus' end up laughin' with it.
Today should be an interesting day. I have a test comin' up in approximately an hour. I'm screwed.
I jus' went to the dentist. Turns out I have to get this baby out, by this weekend. How the hell am I s'posed to eat? Soup and oatmeal until my teeth 'align' themselves?! No way! The man needs his protein! I mean, I constantly release protein everyday, so I need a way to replenish it! After all, I sweat everyday.....! To quote from one cartoon I saw..."Man cannot live on artificial carbohydrates alone!"
I'm in an internet cafe packed with people. Although I'm not claustrophobic, I still feel a bit tense with close proximity levels at times. This is one of those times. Not to mention those constantly lookin' over your shoulder to see what you're typing and/or browsing. To anyone who's currently lookin' over shoulder readin' this....SCREW YOU. Yeah? Now go get a life.
Everyone knows that question...is the glass half empty or half full? I never was able to answer that question. I mean, I jus' can't decide. So here's somethin' I thought of while I was there today...hospital...a good place or a bad place? To be practical about it, it could be a good place, 'coz it's where sick people go to get better. Then again, it could be a bad place, 'coz it's where the sick people go, and people die in hospitals. Then again, people are born in hospitals. Screw it, that didn't help. So is the glass half-full or half-empty?
I like puttin' lines that I heard in a song that caught my attention. For instance, this latest one I heard from Goo Goo Dolls' "Name." Interesting song. I have no idea what it's about, though. And aww...it takes two people to play the song on the guitar. That'd have to go down as one of my top ten songs of all time. Do I even have one? Well, if asked right now, it'd be...
1.) Name - Goo Goo Dolls
2.) Let It Be - The Beatles
3.) Dream On - Aerosmith
4.) Soul To Squeeze - Red Hot Chili Peppers
5.) Lightning Crashes - Live
6.) All I Want Is You - U2
Well, actually, those are all I can think of. I think I'm startin' to space out again. Poinnnnggg!! Not a good time to space out, I've got a finance test in half an hour.
I'm out!

so quiet but i finally woke up...
Ah. Post numba two. No, wait, four. Ah, technically it was the second in the last two weeks.
Mondays. Tell me why...I don't like Mondays...tell my why....
My next class is in fifteen minutes, and I plan to have a smoke before I do, so this'll be quick.
I went to mass yesterday. That was interesting. The priest was talking about racial, sexual, and other types of discrimination. Are there still idiots in the world who discriminate, thinking they're actually the superior race? Wake up, you meatheads, WW2 was over half a century ago.
Sorry, I'm jus' in a bad mood. Partly 'coz of the weather. Overcast. Hurts the eyes. A great day for die-hard photographers, though. I heard overcast's the best natural lighting for pictures. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I read a case study today, one about sweatshops in Asia. Absolutely sickening. One thing that was mentioned was that fire that broke out in a sweatshop in Thailand, sometime during the mid-90's. Over 200 overworked, underpaid people were killed in that fire. Most of them were women and teenage girls? The worst part? They died because the emergency exits were locked? Why the fuck would you lock them in the first place? In case they'd play hookie and go AWOL on their work? They already need the money! Sickening. Makes me ashamed of actually being a human being. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the company's 'assosciates' started that fire, 'coz they no longer had any 'use' for their workers.
That's what I don't get. Labor is already cheap as it is here in Asia, can't you at least pay them a decent wage? But nooo...some meatheads out there are out to maximize profit. I hope they choke on a quarter. Nike. We all know Nike. Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods...a bunch of athletes. I got no beef on them. Nike pays Jordan $20 million for a single endorsement. That's already more than twice of how much they paid their labor force in Indonesia for an entire year. Just sickening. I am glad that there have been codes of conduct controlling the abuses of sweatshops.
Whew. That felt good to let that out. Oops, got a class.
Peace. Die, greedy, profit-hungry businessmen!!

burnt to the core, but not broken...
Well! Here I am again. Wow, it's been a while since I actually did this. The last one was....errmm....July 21? That was pretty far back.
Not too much has been goin' down in the past 20 days or so. I got a new laptop! Oh, it's not really new, jus' another second-hand one from my aunt. But hell, I ain't complainin! A lot better than that piece of junk that's as good a large paperweight in my room! I've been spendin' the past couple of days defragmenting it, taking out some programs, checking it for bugs and errors... I love my aunt, but if there's one thing, she's terrible at taking care of her computers. In that laptop I jus' got, there were three different programs that did exactly the same thing! Twisted.
Oh yeah, some song's been in my head lately...'Run To The Water' by LIVE. Let's jus' say it kinda applies to how I'm feelin' right now. As I've told some of my friends, I decided to give myself a li'l...break. I don't know, one thing I firmly believe in, and a piece of advice I always give to those who need it...that a little alone time does the soul good. Yeah. Well, I think I'll resume 'the hunt' in a month or two...or three. Depends. I'm jus waitin' for a star to fall...carry your heart into my arms...that's where you belong in my arms....baby, yeah....ta da da da
It's midterm week. Today's the last day. That means tonight we drink! Man, Absolut really is the best vodka in the world. Anyway, I'm under probation, so I had to withdraw a subject. Ah, the beauty of forgery. I'm still allowed to flunk at least one subject. Hey, doesn't mean I will, though.
I've got this 'textmate' from the northern part of the country. I've got nothin' better to do, so yeah, we text every once in a while. It's been a week, and she already be trippin'! She sayin' stuff like...I miss you, I'm thinking about you. I jus' hope she don't end up sayin' the three-magic-words soon. I mean, we never met, we've only known each other for a week, and she straight-trippin. I think that girl got issues.
I've also been talkin' to this friend of mine, says she's been learnin' stuff from me. Well, glad I could help out. It's also interestin to delve into your past every once in a while. It's also interestin...I never actually thought she'd be a person of high intellect. I meant that in a good way!
It's time to take a test again. Whew. I'm out!
