not the music

a quick blog entry before we leave for my grandma's birthday...

I hate how the hello hydration shampoo from herbal essences smells like. It smells like... I dunno.. a lady? My hair also looks like Karen O's. Irritating? I guess.

anyway...

I've been playing the hell out of my newly bought Rock Band 2 guitar bundle. I've practically unlocked 90% of the songs. But I really don't feel like unlocking everything because the only songs I've yet to unlock are metal. I'm not really a big fan of metal.

then I realized, maybe the whole rhythm game experience is all about the songs and not much about the mechanics and whatever gimmick they have. It need not matter if the game is too easy... as long as I'm playing the songs that I really like.. then it wouldn't be a problem if its difficult or not.

I don't think I'm gonna unlock the songs from metallica, motorhead, judas priest, megadeth, or whatever metal band.

and just something random.. here are my top five Rock Band 2 songs:

1. The Main Drag - A Jagged Gorgeous Winter
2. Interpol - PDA
3. Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way
4. Foo Fighters - Everlong
5. Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son

I just can't help but stand when the song comes up... and dance when I get the chance.

Now I really really wanna get The Beatles: Rock Band and like $60 worth of Playstation Network credit so I can download songs from Abbey Road, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and Rubber Soul.

yeah!

...as you may have noticed, I'm trying this new thing. I'm doing more periods and less ellipses. But I don't think I'm doing a good job of using the proper punctuation marks, cause I am an illiterate boy. But yeah, I am doing my best.

You might be wondering why would I do such? Cause I've been following a blog recently. Stoya's blog on XCritic. Rarely I do read blogs... unless you try to force me. But yeah, you might be asking the question "what's with her blog anyway?" For one, she's a smart lady... and if you're not a big fan of websites that start with 'p' then you might not be aware of her profession. Rarely do you see smart women like her in the business. RARELY.

...and I never proofread any of my blog entries. soooo yeah... ELLIPSES FOREVER!! ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

completer

yep.. I have friends having the worst time of their lives... mich? nein...

I saw it again.. but it didn't saw me.. instead it looked elsewhere... not being pretty anymore.. but who cares.. well.. I guess I do.. but.. nobody else does..

and if I'm the only one.. then why would it be significant?

on a more literal note..

I just got the Rock Band 2 guitar bundle.. from a guy who I'm guessing is a lasallite.. but yeah.. for half the price of a brand new standalone game + wireless guitar.. that's a Jew purchase!

that's why.. I think.. in every Filipino.. there is a little Jew in them.. I mean.. we all try to get the best bargains don't we? unless you're really that rich.. and a few hundred pesos off your purchase wouldn't matter that much...

and yeah.. I hate rich kids.. or at least I'm annoyed by them.. because.. they.. act like a bunch of sterile porcelain dolls or whatever.. but I'm somewhat glad that they act that way.. because I can do things they can't... like eat at Mang Tootz..

although they can do things I can't... like equate the value of a gift by its price..

of course I'm too poor to buy expensive gifts.. and I'm not human enough to give anyone gifts.. or have a good gift idea.. or even remember when should I give someone gifts..

oh well.. I guess I'm still the selfish senile bastard..

hooray for survival!

consumed by consumerism

just like everyone else... I've fallen under the power of the corporations selling what seems to be as purchasable happiness...

but since I do not have the essentials for making a purchase (ie money, willpower)

ergo... I went window shopping... online... woe is to me.. haha

first on the list is a skateboarding shoe... no.. I ain't no faddist who would go for SB Dunks or Supras.. I wanted a pair of beige IPath Cats.. which costs around $70.. cheaper than Dunks! and waaaaaaay quirkier!

















            IPath Cats > SB Dunks

don't get me wrong.. I am not trying to look cool with oversized shoes and not skate at all...

although what I'd really wanna do is actually longboarding.. yeah.. longboards do not go well with oversized shoes for skateboards.. because the grip is practically nonexistent with the longboards and they're flexible boards..

and with the added weight.. it might all feel awkward and stuff...

I'd like to get a longboard from J&S Surf whatever somewhere in Chino Roces.. but it freakin costs $200! you do the math.. with the rounded off exchange rate..

























         the longer the better... YEAH!

so I might as well go for the relatively cheaper set up.. a skateboard..

it's practically the more economically sound purchase between the two..

because I can do more with a skateboard.. and I can get more injuries with a skateboard!












            yeah... because sometimes asians like it short

for $100.. again do the math.. I can learn the basics of boarding for a cheaper price...

but let's face facts.. I'm too poor to even purchase these things.. this is pretty much a theoretical.. cause I have more important things to spend money on.. such as the culinary delights in UST.. YEAH!!! MANG TOOTZ!

come to think of it.. I think buying the boards wouldn't be as bad as falling into consumerism.. because I'm not getting satisfaction out of the purchase per se.. but I am going to get satisfied by riding it..

I think that's whats wrong with consumerism.. we only buy things because the purchase of the thing gratifies us more than actually using it... and the more we practice that.. the more we feed the corporations and the more we fund their nefarious ways of giving use more products (ie sweatshops and extremely underpayed laborers).. that's why I'd rather support businesses such as  Limitado and Mang Tootz.. because you know the money goes to the right people and not to an inhumane system which is recognized by law as one legal person..

I tend to ask myself...

why do I feel poor?

it keeps me depressed when I'm left alone with my thoughts...

sure... you have the obvious reasons...

parents not managing their money properly..

the country being a low-middle income economy..

and the masses placed the wrong person in office..


basically, I feel poor cause I'm a Filipino...

no.. wait.. scratch that...

I feel poor because I'm a victim of crass commercialism... just like every other Filipino.. and every other citizen of a capitalist nation...

I'd like to believe that there is still hope... but no.. the high society got every consumer (read: citizens of the free world) in the ball sack..

because everything has to be about money and not about values anymore...

everything has to be about consumerism and taking advantage of it...

everything has to be about making a buck out of every opportunity...

everything has to be about our worldly possessions and how we cannot live without it...

unlike a everyone else... I don't have people to hug and spend time with... I am a solitary creature working in the darkness of a windowless room..

...trying to find a way to be happy without spending a dime...

cellar door

the sparks of the window dust seems colorful to the eyes...

and the trails of yellow and blue forming articles of clothing...

I can see it from afar... gracefully dancing on smooth skin and jet black hair...

it is so beautiful... very beautiful..

yes I am a man of the shadows... silently watching everyone else's steps... discreetly listening to every word uttered... waiting... silently...

but it is so beautiful.. very beautiful...

and it only takes an entity devoid of light to attract the moth to the flame of the candle...

I.. being the melted wax on the floor.. I have no other choice but to watch... the dance of the child and the friendly green stranger...

and day after day.. I capture high ISO images.. only glimpses of it... but it still satisfies me...

I open doors to see if the duck is still in my scope.. but the trees seem to notice every movement of my eye... although we both don't tell... I know he knows I know...

yes... that is a true friend... like the moon at dawn..

but I am afflicted.. with the pain of anticipation... of reward I do not work for... of the moment too remote to happen... and of the conversation I will mess up...

but it is so beautiful... very beautiful...

she is so beautiful

prof rundown 2

as expected.. may mga prof na di pumasok sa first few days of sican sem...

unlike the pers sem.. wala kaming rest days... dahil ngayon eh evenly spread out ang mga seemingly difficult subjects... MWF has Logic, PGC, and Math.. TTh has History of Western Civ and History of Philippine Economics... ngunit hinde ako matitinag! aking sasalubungin ang daluyog patungo sa bagong liwanag!

pers subject ang logic namin every MWF.. at ang dakilang si Rey Reyes ang aming prof! yehey! gaguhan time na! ngunit ako naman ay sigurado na kaya ko ang Logic.. subalit hinde ako logical na nilalang.. keri ko naman ang syllogism and shit sa lohika!

expected grade: not lower than 2.5.. I hope.. and I pray..

sumunod naman ay english.. reading chorva.. ni ma'am Ana De Guzman.. na baguhang prof.. na 17 years na nagturo sa De La Salle.. Taft.. at ilang years rin sa College of Saint Benilde.. nakakatuwa lang pag sinasabi niya ang De La Salle.. talagang andun ang pagka-la sallista.. at bilib naman ako sa yabang ng mga la sallista.. nasa lugar naman eh.. highest grade na binigay niya eh uno flat... at sana isa ako sa makakauha nun.. at tutal puro reading naman ang english namin.. how hard could it possibly get?

expected grade: 1.5 highest.. 2.25 lowest

di dumating ang PGC prof namin.. pero sana si Yanga.. para di ko na kelangan i-memorize ang preamble.. dahil holy shit.. sa pag-memorize pa naman din ako mahina!

expected grade: aba'y ewan.. wala pa yung prof eh

at buti na lang last subject namin ang college algebra.. with ma'am gotauco.. muka naman siyang mabait.. at namamanipula naman ng mga sican yir students.. sooooo.. kaya yan.. very remote siguro yung possiblity of me failing her subject... dahil ngayon.. ipinapangako ko sa sarili ko na ako'y magsisikap sa matematika ngayong kolehiyo na ko sapagkat may econometrics kami at mathematics of finance next year or whatever... YEAH!

expected grade: lowest 2.75

every tuesdays and thursdays ay medyo mala-crescendo ang mga subjects namin...

dahil magsisimula kami sa napaka-softcore na Theology 2.. na sacraments ng church.. which is 3rd year theology with sir Ines.. ay teka.. SIR INES?! HOLY SHIT!! MAY NAALALA PA BA KO SA TINURO NIYA?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

expected grade: 2.75 to 1.75

at matapos nun eh Philippine Lit.. at hanep prof namin dun.. nakalimutan ko lang pangalan... pero sobrang Dedace part 2 siya! una eh.. kalbo siya.. panglawa eh parang paos ang boses niya.. at pangatlo eh.. yung pananalita niya ay parang si Dedace talaga.. medyo disappointed lang ako sa mga selections namin this sem dahil hinde kasama ang queer literature.. pero oh well.. andyan pa naman ang mga websites na nagsisimula sa letter 'p'.. tulad ng philippineliteratures.com... pero at least nasama si Jessica Zafra sa mga selections na babasahin namin.. under humor and chorva.. at sa klase namin ay walang kumibo nung tinanong kung may nakakakilala ba kay Jessica Zafra.. ngunit expected naman daw dahil mga econ majors kami.. or at least sila.. I am a Philo major at heart!

expected grade: it doesn't really matter.. c'mon we're going to discuss Jessica Zafra and Ricky Lee!

at si Manapat nanaman sa Eco 102.. ang aming major subject.. na History of Philippine Economic Development.. which I have a background on.. luckily.. thanks ko Tullao's book.. at napansin ko eh mas aktibo na si Manapat sa klase habang lectures.. di katulad nung Management.. na sobrang.. parang.. stereotypical college classes protrayed in films ang dating.. dahil sobrang slow ng pace.. kahit may PhD siya in BM.. he doesn't seem to make his lectures interesting.. pero yeah.. hanep na lectures niya ngayon...

expected grade: has to be 1.something

and to top it all of... last subject namin... History of Western Civilization... YEHES DUMAWAL!!

unang moments pa lang ng klase sermon na agad! at yun ang mga panahon na sobrang naiingit ako sa mga foreigners dahil di nila naiintindihan ang pinagsasabi ng prof.. at least sila di natatakot.. pero kaming lahat.. nasindak eh.. pero I had to keep my composure.. because otherwise I can't pull out my secret weypon.. because I AM LEYGEND!!

anyway... simula pa lang nung grade school eh ganun na talaga ang style ko... I do well when everyone else is crippled by fear... pag takot mga kaklase ko sa teacher.. papakyawin ko ang mga tanong ng teacher dahil lahat sila'y di makakapag-isip ng tama.. and I just get pleasure from seeing others in an uncomfortable state... sadista ako... pero on the other hand.. petiks ako pag ang lahat ay gumagawa ng mabuti.. para bang.. pag ang lahat ng mga kaklase ko'y nagsisitaasan ng kamay para sa recitation... ako naman ay keber na lang.. because its either I'll make a difference or I don't do anything at all..

kaya it totally works to my advantage na takot mga kaklase ko mag-recite sa klase ni Dumawal.. na sobrang Elemento part 2.. siya yung striktong prof na ang gusto talagang mangyari ay matuto ang kanyang mga studyante sa pinaka-disiplinadong paraan...

anyway..

kaya nung history namin eh sagot lang ako ng sagot sa mga tanong niya.. at napuri pa niya ko.. dahil di ako nagpasindak.. kasi nakita ko naman ang tunay niyang hangarin eh.. ang matuto ang mga studyante.. pero wala.. nadala sa sindak ang mga kaklase ko.. kumbaga.. nung panahon na yun eh may combat high ako.. sobrang focused ako sa klase... kasi sino ba naman ang di gaganahan sa prof na gusto talagang matuto ang mga studyante at di lang mang-gago at mambagsak diba?

and yeah... playing tons of Sid Meier's Civilization IV helped sooooooo much during class.. because most of my answers were pretty much things I've seen or read from Civilization IV.. see? games do help in your studies!

expected grade: if things go as planned.. this might be my first flat uno

but yeah.. spending time with people older than mean (read: Richmond and Sang Kaew) made me realize that grades don't matter that much.. as long as you're doing your job in class and you're not failing.. then college is more about the experience with the people around you than the academic shit..

last hurrah

2 weeks sembreak.. 1 week ondoy break..

and countless fridays and holidays...

= one extra month of idleness

I'd say my sembreak was spent well... most of it was spent on getting every trophy on Bioshock, finishing Metal Gear Solid 4 and Grand Theft Auto 4... and building my own version of New York in Simcity 4.. it was the sembreak of gaming.. and yearning for more games.. like Beatles: Rock Band and Tekken 6..

but yeah... I was having so much fun with my sembreak.. thanks to the most dandiest of weathers... and to the excessively large LCD screen my sister from Singapore sent.. I am finally enjoying games in 1080p high definition.. YEAH!!

but it wasn't all games... I got seasons 18 and 20 of The Simpsons and the first two seasons of Robot Chicken from the pirate bay... I was able to finish watching season 20.. but the 18th season and the two seasons of Robot Chicken I wasn't able to do so because I just got it this weekend.. and yeah... I had to play Simcity 4.. which might help me for Urban Economics when I get to 3rd or 4th year...

but yeah... The Simpsons got better episodes when it started broadcasting in widescreen.. but I still appreciate the touchy feely episodes from season 18... BUT ROBOT CHICKEN IS THE BEST!!!

ROBOT CHICKEN IS THE BEST!!
ROBOT CHICKEN IS THE BEST!!
ROBOT CHICKEN IS THE BEST!!

an episode lasts for around 11 minutes.. but that 11 minutes will either astound you or will leave you puzzled..

because the show is like a bunch of stop animation (read: Chicken Run) comedy sketches that references pop culture stuff... ie a Kill Bill wherein Jesus plays the role of the protagonist.. and yeah.. with a bunch of jew jokes and stuff...

but yeah.. if you are familiar with the pop culture thing they're parodying.. it will be one of the best 11 minutes of your life.. but sometimes there are pop culture stuff which I cannot relate to.. and I tend to not get the humor.. so it's a hit or miss..

and on feature length films... I was finally able to watch Bruno!!

Bruno is one of the best gay films ever.. I'd say its better than those homoerotic films Gus Van Sant directs or the Maximo Oliveros film.. but yeah.. Bruno is something you shouldn't watch with anyone who is not open to satirical homosexual and racial humor.. I think men will be disgusted with this kind of film because they think they're too manly to appreciate homosexual satire.. or maybe they're avoiding homosexual thoughts altogether for some reason... but women will just be offended with the amount of inappropriate sexual acts done on this film..

as with LGBT themed films.. all you need is an open mind to enjoy it... and if you're pretty much sure with your sexual orientation then there's nothing wrong with being open to these experiences...

and also if you're not restrained by social norms on sexuality...

going back to the sembreak stuff...

some of my classmates weren't too happy with their 2 weeks.. primarily because they did not receive baon and stuff.. and maybe because they're jealous with our president being in a relationship with a classmate of ours... now some of them wants to get into the whole "getting hooked up with someone" bandwagon.. oh well.. who can blame kids who had no romantic encounters during high school.. I pity them...

but my Nigerian friend wants a filipina girlfriend because he's pretty much bored..

and I ain't touching that subject until I feel the need to jump in.. cause I'm still having fun with the culinary delights around UST.. and a girlfriend would just ruin that.. given that a relationship in the Philippines revolves around frequent text messaging.. and as an economist.. I'd rather put my resources to the wonderful food around UST than cellphone load..

because nowadays I believe that talking to someone shouldn't cost a dime! even though its good for the economy

stuporman

hinde ko na-experience nung hayskul ang isang victory party sa taytay...

pero dahil nasa hayskul pa rin naman ang kapatid ko.. maaari pa kong maki-victory party!

LET'S GET PARTY!!

pumunta akong beda nung alas dose na mismo.. tapos yun pala may misa pa! WHAT THE FUCK! napilitan lang akong tumambay ng walang kasama! parang sobrang desperado ako magkasama kanina...

the program was meh... or at least the crowd was.. dahil.. putangina... walang naki-join sa indian yell! parang.. muka akong gago sa likod sumasayaw ng indian yell.. tapos yung crowd ng mga beda nakatingin lang.. PARANG DI BEDA AMPUTA! lalo na nung patapos na yung performance.. walang sumisigaw ng "GO SAN BEDA FIGHT!" sa crowd.. oh well.. maka-one big fight at animo sila eh...

pero buti naman nung tapos na yung misa eh may mga nakasama ako.. and gradually naging dry drunk na ko.. parang lahat na lang ng mga undergrad na kakilala ko in one way or the other dinadaldal ko.. tulad ni Kostka Boy, Patrick ang batang mabaho, Rolly Polly Ollie, Batista, Dacs, Jonas, Nils, Jemar, Malbarosa... di ko lang naalala yung pangalan ng mga ibang linalapitan ko.. pero basta na lang ako nakikipag-usap.. parang nag-ecstasy ako eh...

at lahat ng mga nakasama ko.. lagi na lang buhok ko ang napapansin nila.. madalas kong marinig ang "uy! ang haba na ng buhok ah!" or "akala ko si Arnold Medina"

sobrang youthful na ng itsura ng mga high school kids ng beda ngayon... and pansin mo na romance is in the air dahil walang moment na di ka makakita ng couple..

bahala sila mag-landian... more free food for me!

the food was meh... walang lasa yung lechon.. linalangaw yung mga donuts nung wala pa yung mga studyante.. sa barbecue lang ako halos nag-enjoy.. at di siya ganun ka-sarap.. pero for something that's for free.. its great... ang binalikan ko lang ay pineapple juice...

na sumakit ang tiyan ko matapos...

pero I found out na may lugar pala sa may athlete's quarters.. na may better drinks... andun lahat ng mga tatay, male teachers, at alumni... at dun ko na-appreciate ang lasa ng pale pilsen... nakakatuwa talaga mga banat ng mga alumni at nila Sigua.. no mats ang humor ng mga kaklase ko sa uste..

at naisip ko... was there ever a thomasian that made me laugh?

anyway...

inimbita ko si Nils Meza sa likod dahil isang bote lang daw si Dexter Ancheta... at puro mga matatandang tao ang nandun and I'd rather be there.. kaya kelangan ko ng kasama.. pero nakakatuwa naman kausap ang mga teachers.. tulad nila Chulvo na inaasar yung mga undergrads na lasing na...

both of us were able to down two.. dahil naubos na... pero it didn't matter because had a very intellectual discourse... parang lahat na lang ata ng mga foreigners na nakakausap ko eh nakakausap ko ng malalim... except yung mga koreano at si Gum Jali Lazing from Burma...

and the bands were somewhat poseur-ish... oops.. baka ma-flame nanaman ulet ako dahil tinawag kong poseur ang mga kids who performed kanina.. rak own! di na kayo poseur!

anyway... Jonas' band was... meh.. nothing spectacular... compared to most of the bands.. sila yung di nag-kalat... then comes the all female group who was trying to be all paramore-ish .. listening from outside the gym.. kalat tunog nila.. the bass was all on the wrong places and stuff.. and yeah.. tinatamad na kong i-describe yung iba dahil I'm distracted...

anyway...

I'm distracted cause I was looking at Amazon prices for Rock Band special edition bundles.. and its pisses me off to see that it costs around 5000 pesos there.. whereas it costs 12000 pesos here.. INJUSTICE I TELL YOU!

although food is cheaper here.. but c'mon... I PLAY GAMES...

that's why when I get a job.. I don't think I'll marry..

cause marriage = added expenses

and me = selfish

exhaust man

umulan nanaman...

napaka-depressing...

at kinailangan kong lumabas...

...simula ngayon ay sira na ang aking linggo...

paalam sunny days...

paalam mainit na sinag ng araw na may malamig na simoy ng hangin...

paalam kumpletong tulog...

paalam playstation...

paalam couch...

paalam computer...

paalam chicken pork adobo...

paalam pambahay...

paalam sa mga araw na di ko kelangan magcommute ng halos dalawang oras....

paalam sa mga araw na di ako nagtratrabaho...

paalam sa mga araw na di ako nanghihina...

paalam sa mga araw na di ako nangangamba...

paalam... kaginhawaan

1 hours ago

sadyang napaka-ginhawa ng buhay ngayong sembreak...

buong araw lang ako naglalaro ng playstation o ng simcity 4... napaka-rewarding talaga ang feeling ng city building habang nakikita mo na napaka-sunny ng view sa labas at lumalamig ang simoy ng hangin... oh yeah.. pasko na!

at pag inabutan ng gutom ay bababa lang ako sa kitchen at maghahanda ng napakasarap na putahe.. basta't kumuha na lang ako ng lata ng century tuna o ligo sardines at solb na ko sa lunch..

tapos kakalahatiin ko ang leche flan ni ate lina na very satisfying.. hay buhay.. napaka-ginhawa mo talaga...

matapos mag-lunch ay babalik ako sa tapat ng telebisyon o ng monitor para makapag-laro ulet ng playstation at simcity 4..

ako'y maglalaro at maglalaro at maglalaro hanggang sumapit ang dilim.. at mas malamig ang hangin na pumapasok sa bintana... ansarap sana magkaroon ng fireplace.. pero given na may tendency ako maging arsonista ay wag na lang pala...

at maririnig ko na lang ang makina ng kotse ng aking nanay at tatay na dumarating.. at sisigawan na kami ni ate lina ng "KAIN NAAAAAAAAAA".. ako'y bebeso sa aking mga magulang at mag-didinner kami habang nanonood ng mga balita ng mga namamatay na tao sa TV patrol..

matapos ng dinner ay uubusin ko ang natirang kalahati ng leche flan ni ate lina..

babalik ako sa aking pinanggalingan para i-check ang aking facebook, multiply, at YM.. at bibisita sa kotaku, CAG, destructoid, pinoyPS, piratebay, playasia, pinoyexchange at kung anu-ano pang websites na nagsisimula sa letter "p"...

hangga't abutin ako ng antok.. at ako'y pwepwesto sa aking mattress sa sahig.. at i-o-on ko ang mp3 player ko at i-se-set ang timer..

at ako'y matutulog ng mahimbing habang nakikinig sa napakagandang tugtugin ng chairlift, coldplay, beatles at radiohead...

babalik sa mundo ng panaginip kung saan aking isinasabuhay ang mga linalaro buong araw...

2013

disclaimer: during the writing of this blog entry, I'm in the province with crappy internet, and people who love watching pinoy big brother... I apologize for writing a blog entry while watching Pinoy Big Brother... it is a mortal sin, I know... because it pretty much messes with my already messed up mental processes...

I was able to watch the Nostradamus 2012 documentary yesterday.. and for those who're unaware.. the documentary was basically a bunch of nostradamus experts kissing his ass and proclaiming that the drawings from the lost book or something precisely describes when the world will end...

and yeah... it sucked balls...

c'mon.. a wheel with eight spokes can mean a lot of things! but apparently.. they'd rather interpret that as December 21, 2012 where the celestial crosses of whatever will meet.. and the day the world will end.. in some respects I'd accept that.. cause supposedly the Aztec calendar supports that claim.. well I haven't studied the Aztec calendar.. sooooooo yeah... whatever.. I'm watching the Finnish chick entering the pinoy big brother house.. sooooo my brain is working at 10%..

okay.. I'll press mute on the TV..

anyway.. whatever nostradamus said or whatever the drawings on nostradamus' book could mean a lot of things.. it's all about suggestibility.. its like a bunch of Tupac fanatics discovering the line "yes, I'm alive we be missin you" from a back masked version of his songs... YES! MAKAVELLI LIVES!

but yeah.. nostradamus experts sound more preposterous than the prophecies themselves.. they're practically saying that nostradamus' reputation is great and that his word tells us of our impending doom... AND SHIT

yeah.. sure.. nostradamus is a much more credible source than modern scientific studies..

also.. the show speaks of the 3rd antichrist.. the successor to the likes of Napoleon Bonaparte and Adolf Hitler.. wait.. was it bonaparte? really? I dunno.. I blame Pinoy Big Brother..

the show suggests that Osama Bin Laden is the 3rd antichrist.. cause they keep on showing vignettes of his face and the war in the middle east.. that's just bullshit.. and we all know by now why there is a war in the middle east...

yes... because America wants to rule the world! and because that part of the globe is rich in oil and the only way they can get the oil is by waging a war there.. cause they can't just go to Nigeria and take the oil there...

but I don't have to worry about the antichrist anyway.. cause I'm a Bhuddist..

anyway.. another bullshit interpretation was the arch under the wheel was reminiscent of the arc of the covenant.. that God won't destroy the world with water anymore.. but this time he'll use fire.. WHAT THE FUCK! that's just.. stupid.. c'mon.. seriously? a statement like that was given screen time on a documentary?!

also.. they spoke of the 13th zodiac sign.. the serpent bearer.. the one between Sagittarius and Scorpio.. and how it was supposedly on the center of the milky way.. or the dark void.. or whatever.. and how it was removed because it was the 13th zodiac sign.. but then I thought.. why the fuck would they remove the sign between Sagittarius and Scorpio?! when they can remove the last one.. which is Capricorn.. I think..

yeah.. the documentary was full of crap.. but the idea that we only have 3 years left to live tells us to seize the moment.. we'll die in a few years time.. might as well make the most of it and not just sleep all day..

because we can get all the sleep when we die...
