Ok ok,
I’m poor again. I don’t have anything legit to write about, excluding the mass hordes of conspiracies and feel good articles that I can produce.
Truth be told, between general life business, episodes of cold, 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 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 everything that can be done are still left undone. I mean, what’s new right?
Firstly, there’s the Olympics. Beijing 2008. Apart from the really exotic Bird’s Nest stadium, I really don’t see anything fascinating. Every sport seems to have a winner and lots of losers. I mean, why these people can’t come up with a sport where everyone’s a winner still puzzles me. Now that would be a sport that celebrates the human spirit. China seems to be piling on the gold, but seriously, their fans need some lessons on cheering concepts that are ages +4 and above. Amidst the drips of Korean and Taiwanese fans, the Chinese sea of fans were just not … I dunno, just not enough.
Note: You will have to note that I have respectfully not commented on Singapore’s Silver. I’ll leave that to the Jedi council.
On the global front next, first the Russians. The Russians were always fascinating, more so now with the whole Georgia fiasco. Nuke baddies are still active in the fair world and they are getting stronger. I just cannot get enough of them and if you ask me they are not getting enough air time on TV. The political situation in Pakistan is becoming really embarrassing and the next time I hear about Pervez, I am probably going give him an atomic wedgie. Why can’t the man just leave?
Note: An atomic wedgie is so much more than a wedgie, that in a mathematical equation: atomic wedgie = ( wedgie * wedgie * wedgie )
Lastly, more closer to home, I find myself saddened by the accusation made on Anwar Ibrahim. 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.
On the light side, Ellen De Generes is married, still very much lesbian.
Note: This line is to satisfy those Gay groups that want equal rights.
All this overload of information is really overwhelming me. Nor is the first time 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: I hope you did not waste time reading all this shit.
