  • At the end of last year I started a Tumblr as a little inspiration board for myself... just for pretty pictures and quotes and occasional conversationlets with friends. When I started thinking about moving my blog, I registered 2203.tumblr.com, but I think I'm just going to use my previous Tumblr at xxii.tumblr.com (cause I'm born on the 22nd, stupid).

    Not moving properly yet... just a heads up.

  • everybody's going to war

    I've got a friend, he's a purebred killing machine
    He said he's waited his whole damn life for this
    I knew him well when he was seventeen
    now he's a man who'll be dead by Christmas, and so
    everybody's going to war
    but we don't know what we're fighting for
    Don't tell me it's a worthy cause
    no cause could be so worthy.

    if love is a drug, I guess we're all sober
    if hope is a song, I guess it's all over
    how to have faith when faith is a crime?
    I don't want to die

    if God's on our side, then God is a joker
    asleep on the job, his children fall over
    running out through the door and straight to the sky
    I don't want to die

    I was reading Patrick Welsh's article in USAToday about how text messaging is apparently the bane of high school education and is producing a generation of intellectually delinquent students. Frankly, I found the article to be ridiculous, and was happy to see that most of the comments disagreed with his conclusion that "parents should disable the text messaging function of their kids' cellphones" and "a crackdown the first day of school in September will set the get-tough tone for the rest of the year."

    Till I saw this comment by a user named "a-dizzle":

    "Dear Patrick Welsh, I think that you are very 1 misinformed 2 you are making many false assumption and 3 a strongly opionated stupid old man who does not and will not ever understand why we like to text and the fact that while we text we are still learning. Because i know as you wrote this you said to your self when i was a kid i couldn't text well i would like to let you know that things have changed since 1492 when you were a kid ok?"

    *facepalm*

  • Whenever I'm feeling like life is moving too fast, or that I'm actually growing up, or that I'd rather not deal with feelings at all, it's hard to make my "grown up" brain shut up.









    UNTIL I LISTEN TO THIS SONG

    Jude Law: You're blocking my view, peon

    Also, if you need any more convincing that newsmaking has changed over the decades, check out NYT's 1/1/1941 front page - "Winston Churchill has a new hat"
  • Duke has various pre-orientation programmes (yeah, I really don't get the pre-orientation thing, it's like orientation for orientation) that start a couple of weeks before actual orientation does. I'm not going for any of them because I don't really want to leave Singapore that early, but one of them is called Project Waves where participants basically spend a week sailing, kayaking, surfing and doing other marine activities.

    Today I ventured into their Facebook group. 

    The theme song for Project Waves '09 is "I'm On A Boat".

    HELLLLLLLLLLLLL YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS this bodes well

  • gronlandic edit

    the surrealists were just
    nihilists with good imaginations
    I am satisfied
    hiding in our friend's apartment
    only leaving once a day
    to buy some groceries.
    daylight, I'm so absent minded
    nighttime, meeting new anxieties
    so am I erasing myself?
    hope I'm not erasing myself

    I guess it would be nice to give my heart to a god
    but which one, which one do I choose?
    all the churches fill with losers, psycho or confused
    I just want to hold the divine in mind
    and forget all of the beauty's wasted

    let's fall back to earth and do something pleasant

    we fell back to earth like gravity's bitches
    physics makes us all its bitches

    I guess it would be nice to help in your escape
    from patterns your parents designed
    all the party people dancing for the indie star
    but he's the worst faker by far
    but in the set
    I forget all of the beauty's wasted

    I guess it would be nice
    show me that things can be nice

    you've got my back in the city
    you've got my back, because I don't want to panic
  • I think it might be time to move this blog. 

    This makes me very sad. I've been blogging here since January 2003. 

    JANUARY 2003.

    That's six and a half years. 

    But I've been putting up for Xanga's suckiness for way too long. The editor page randomly PMSes... it doesn't hook up to anything... the layout capabilities suck... you can't search your entries (which really blows when you have six and a half years' worth of them)... they plonk ads all over the place... it's generally awful and it's freakin' old. 

    I haven't decided yet, but I've gotten myself a spot at Tumblr just in case.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    My first entry:

    " 5 jan, 2003...
     .time.12.48am
    .music.none
    .mood.tired
    .talking to.no one (my msn dieded )

    Heye... I only started an account on xanga because I was posting up a comment on Becca's blog, but I thought I might start a blog here, since I was considering that anyway. I think xanga's better than my old blog site, there's more stuff and the blogs look nicer. I can't use skins though cuz those are only for premium accounts .

    Went out with Shumzi, Dweebie and Wryn today to watch Two Weeks Notice. Quite good quite good. I've seen better though. I like Sandra Bullock. I'm not too fond of Hugh Grant though, he always has this smug-annoying look about him. Wryn says he's good-looking. Ha ha.

     Anyway, gotta make this short because I'm fallin asleep in front of the com, should go to bed soon. Still got a couple more things to fix up *yawn* Okay, I'm out. G'nite..."

    Oh those tagboard days.
