Life is a game.
Those who play...
Play against the entire world.
There are no saves.
There are no walkthroughs.
There is only one chance.

So I was thinking...

I was quite deep in thought about what to blog about when all of a sudden, I realised a very important point:

I don't have a readership.

Now that this point has been brought forward, the whole task of writing an entry has been reduced to nothing but a simple desire to please myself by writing about anything at whim.

First of all, in case I do have a readership, they are reminded that I have now included a song plugin in here, and is the first song from the 80's that I listened to before Michael Jackson's old classics like Bad, Beat It and Billie Jean. Alphabetisation wasn't entirely unintended.

I got bored and wanted to totally waste myself out before heading to bed without alcohol. So I turned to the next best thing and started running around blogosphere.

Some stopped. Some disappeared entirely. Some post meaningless lyrics or random stuff they were doing. Some had really interesting (read: long) posts I had no time for. Some, well, are so damn messy I gave up trying to navigate.

I have a lot of work to do. And yet I'm going on digg, the school forum and now, exploring the unknown. Oh and Calvin & Hobbes comics too. I reiterate that I define "slacker". If I have said it before.

I intend to go look for Ender's Game in the library some day. Maybe with Cat. So I can pass her some VCDs too. It'll be like a date, except without the pressure of me trying to get action at the end of it.

Yeah okay I know you're saying "it doesn't work that way around here", but that's what you think.

My bed is calling out to me. Anybody reading this would undoubtedly be from this country and would naturally be cynical. That includes me. Naturally, I think that statement sounds stupid too.

I love this country. Don't you? Everyone is raised with one important rule in life: Never look stupid. It goes something like this:

"When somebody gives you a question to answer, or tells you to do or say something, first do it in your mind and imagine the consequence. Ask yourself these questions:

- Does it sound funny?
- Is it suspicious?
- Will I be exposed for an ambush during that act?
- Is it my birthday, or an event that has to do with me?
- Does the task exploit my physical mass, voice or vocal (dis)ability, or anything different on me?
- Does it make me look stupid?

If you answered 'yes' to any of the above, question the task further until you have no 'yes's left. Then, proceed. If halfway through the task you get suspicious again, stop immediately. If this was indeed a cleverly disguised attempt to make you look stupid, this will prevent you from looking totally stupid.

Remember: One must salvage what dignity he has left."

I love this world.
