On a tangent, I do love this song.

From my User Info
"Schools: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry - Hogsmeade, Scotland - Highland, United Kingdom"

Yes, for the record, I actually did attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We had great fun, and the pranks! It was a shame that dragon wasn't returned to us...then again, we really couldn't've paid for the repairs...

It's been a while since my last post; this post will be delightfully monotonic and boring (possibly). And what's been happening? Well, truthfully, not that much. School is proceeding apace and more assignments are due, I'm slaving away at paid work, so I can appreciate how a slave monkey feels. At least they get to sling crap at their superiors.

I am concerned about our weather and Howard's blissful ignorance of global warming, we're experiencing the worst drought in years and world leaders are going, "Shit no! global warming? nah, ain't happening, don't worry...there's no sugar." I mean WTF, even ignorance has its limits.

And then there's society's little ills, imposed by humans on other humans, I mean, fuck, humanity can be cruelly apathetic and self-centered.


Music is great, I have discovered a few songs that are really touching and stuff. Anyway, enough of my rambling rants. Enjoy these clips!!!

The first two are in Hokkien.





^Wow, REALLY cute chicks! ^_______^



An extremely beautiful and talented girl, wait for that violin solo near the end, you won't be disappointed.

A girl asked a boy if she was pretty.
He said no.
She asked him if he wanted to be with her forever.
He said no.
She then asked him if he would cry if she walked away.
He again said no.
She had heard too much.
She needed to leave.
As she walked away, he grabbed her arm and told her to stay, he said,
“You’re not pretty, you’re beautiful. I don’t want to be with you forever, I need to be with you forever. I wouldn’t cry if you walked away, I would die.”

I made this into a comic strip.
Enjoy!

Excellent, I guess Melbourne is finally starting to cry (it's finally managed to make itself rain), gods know we need the deluge. Good on you, Melbourne, keep it up. Commence at the same pace and fill up thy reservoirs! Your minions are counting on you!

*big thumbs up*

Whoa, subconsciousness sublimation, that track totally suits this post.



Wow, those emoticons of different expressions and moods all look alike o_O

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is to love and be loved in return."
--"Unforgettable with Love" by Natalie Cole

"You will never know true happiness
until you have truly loved,
and you will never understand
what pain really is
until you have lost it."
--Anonymous

"I love thee, I love but thee
With a love that shall not die
Till the sun grows cold
And the stars grow old."
--Willam Shakespeare

"One word frees us
Of all the weight and pain in life,
That word is Love"
--Socrates

That has got me thinking about my own past experiences of love (painful though they may be; no happy endings here) and that old adage. Remember that old adage? "It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all"? Well, recent scientific studies have shown that it is actually better to never loved at all than to have hurt and experienced pain.

While that may be healthier for us and better for our physical bodies, I find such an experience devoid of love or hope, optimism or cheer to be meaningless and empty. An existence without compassion, without a soul companion, without that emotional bond is a life of void and nothingness.

For love doesn't make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

simosh Look out for the

m HOLE

Username:

From Go-Quiz.com

I'm highly amused by this, I don't even know what a "m-hole" is. Is it a retarded hole? or is it a mildly clever way of spelling mhole and an allusion to moles and their underground habits?

Maybe its all a big and massive conspiracy. Sugar does bad things to you when you consume this much.

On a tangent...as if the post had a topic to begin with, I've been watching a massive amount of comedy skits and comedic performances (and yes, I do have to write 2500 words for an assignment thats due on Friday D:). Our comedians are among the world's best, all have senses of humor that appeal to my own.

I'll leave you with a quote by Carl Barron (horribly mangled probably since I'm recalling this from memory).
"I think Australian is a naturally smart arse language. If you ask someone how they are, they don't tell you how they are, they tell you how they're not and you have to guess the rest

"How are ya, mate? Not bad
"What have you been up to? Not much
"How much was that? Oh...wasn't cheap
"When are we getting there? It's not far now
"When are leaving? Oh, its not long now"

Brilliant! The delivery was awesome.

XD I'll try to dig up the youtube link for it.

"Wars teach us not to love our enemies, but to hate our allies."
W.L George

"War is a cowardly escape from the problems of peace."
Thomas Mann

"What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?"
Mahatma Gandhi



He lies there, a malnourished individual, gaunt cheekbones protruding, the beginnings of a rictus grin. The framed picture of his loved ones shattered under the boots of too many apathetic souls. He dearly clutches it still with whitened knuckles, tears streaming down his face. His one link to a happier life and time.

He raises skeletal fingers to the heavens, his rifle forgotten, useless. The brutality and senselessness of war all around him, bullets continue to fly mercifully through the air relentlessly seeking their targets, bombs continue to explode causing massive wounds in the earth. The screams of the dying, the silence of the dead.

The sky is overcast casting the day as shadowed and haunted, gray clouds laden with lightning and sullen moroseness loom overhead. It begins to rain. A single rose is flung by the wind from some distant garden. It lands on his face, he lowers his hand to hold it, gingerly cradling it.

In his mind's eye, he sees his wife, as beautiful and radiant as he left her. Smiling serenely. He sees his son, hale and all grown up, a protective arm around his mother and sister. An upstanding member of society. He never mentioned this, but he was so proud of him. He sees his daughter, as beautiful as her mother, the very image of an angel. He was so proud of her too.

There is a break in the storm clouds, a single lance of light streams from the heavens, beckoning softly, falling on his face. He can hear the glorious hymns and chorus of angels. He seems to be at peace though his body is in tremendous pain. He passes, another forgotten soul, another victim of tragic circumstances.

Who will tell them? that his son and daughter will be without a father and role model, and that his wife will be without a soul mate and companion? Who will tell them his mother and father of their son's tragic passing? That their only child is lost forever to them? Who will tell his friends of their beloved friend's passing, his voice never again raised in cheer or joke? Who will never support them unflinchingly faithfully and tease them mercifully?

Yes, who will tell them?


So, ANZAC day has come and gone, and we remember past deeds and accomplishments and still the senselessness of war rages on in other countries.

Lest we forget.

Everyone seems to be doing it...

Hmm...I need to work on my conscientiousness XD

I guess now is a good time as any to start posting on LJ. I hope that it doesn't take away too much of my time; so much stuff to do, so little time to do it in. Such is life, I suppose.

And now, back to your regularly scheduled programme.

I'm a happy-go-lucky type of guy. I dunno why, I guess I'm just that type of person. *shrugs* Anyway, a lot of my friends seem to be using LJ, its the next best thing since sliced bread *end tax-payer funded message here* :p.

This is my page and there will text. Fun times.

The end.

Yeah, you may have noticed, that's my bio verbatim. What can I say, I'm not very imaginative but I do like to think outside of the box...on occassion.

I've been reading some of the other entries on LJ, and a lot of them are emo. I guess LJ is a place where one can vent their frustrations. This is a good thing I suppose...

All I can say is, be happy people. Look to the brighter side of life. :)

I guess I should get back to my assignment.
