Ok ok,

I’m sure my avid readers have been absolutely devastated at my lack of posting of late.

Truth be told, between general life busy-ness, travel, and bouts of insomnia (I know, insomnia should add to the posting, not detract from it), I just haven’t had a lot of time left open for posting. Added to this has been my general weariness with world events.

It is not that I lack opinions on the cartoon cacophony that has deafened both mass media and blogs these last few days, but in many ways I simply feel like everything that can be said has been said.

And then there’s the latest Pink Panther movie. Even with the inspired choice of Steve Martin in the Clouseau role, this Panther picture is more bumbling and fumbling than the blissfully oblivious, accident-prone Inspector. But if u like cheesy comedy, u will like the film. I know i did. And then there’s the new Bond movie scheduled for filming. The lamest title for a bond film so far. Lets hope their listening and will change their folly.

There are still bombings in Iraq and Sri Lanka. you would think they would have got bored by now. But no, still going strong. Malaysia has been the latest to get hit by birdie-flu and i am hoping that they won’t be a chicken shortage. I can’t live without them.

The Aussies are still sour about the recent but done with death sentence of one of their citizen for drug trafficking. The Aussies are refusing to grant Singapore Airlines the trans pacific route to aid in its bid to become and global carrier. It seems the death of the jackass martyr has strained a few nerves.

It has become obvious that citizens of a certain country might be getting payout from the government since they have an abundance of surplus and the government would like to “share” it with its people.

I would like to question the motive of such a preposterous proposition but i shall hold my tongue in check, in fear of having my blog frozen, my family deported to Alaska, and me being assigned to a correction facility for a lifetime voluntary service. Add to this the Torino 2006 games which suck by the way, and I just feel a little overwhelmed.

Nor is the first time, either that I have felt overwhelmed or that I have had to step back from news consumption simply because I had to give my mind a break. It is difficult being in a position of so little power with so great an inclination to make a difference.

Cheers.

ps: Still waiting for my $100 NS bonus.
