The wise man said just raise your hand
And reach out for the spell
Find the door to the promised land
Just believe in yourself

Damn it, I think I've come down with a cold. At a very inconvenient time I might add, seeing as I have a soccer game this Sunday. It came about from the swimming on Wednesday where I'm sure some f***ing inconsiderate cunt must have gone into the pool while he/she was sick and spread the virus to me and a few other unsuspecting people using the pool. Nonetheless I picked myself up for a jog yesterday and the fresh morning sure did me some good. Nothing like smelling the fresh morning air, the smell of the raw grass oh so sweet.........

Nonetheless, I hope I'll be ok by Sunday.........and that it won't bloody rain.

Speaking of rain, anyone noticed that normally, this isn't the time for Singapore to rain? That it should be sunny and bright and very very hot? No? Global Warming my friends, global freaking warming. The climates all gone really crazy, crazier than a homophobic left alone in a New Urban Male store. So lets all do our part to stop hurting our environment, after all, you only get what you give so if you give mother nature shit, then mother nature's gonna shit back on you.......liquified shit guised in the form of rain.

Anyway big news in the form of the Virginia tech shooting. I'm not gonna delve into the incidents and how it happened. For me, this incident served to only highlight 2 important points.

The 1st point would be the freedom to bear arms which America gives to its citizens. I mean, what kind of ruling is that? Guns are sold freely and without qualms to anybody on the street. Their logic? Buy guns to protect themselves. My logic? Ban guns from ordinary people on the street and you'll have much less to protect against.

Imagine the scenario: You are in an dark lonely alleyway in the night and a masked robber approaches you with a gun. Despite the fact that you deserve to be robbed blind for being in such a desolate area at such a time in the first place, you pull out a gun which you bought to defend yourself. He panics and shoots you. You panic and shoot him back. Both of you end up dead from excessive bleeding to the head and both your lifeless corpses are found 8 days later by a blind lady who smelt your rotting corpse from 5 blocks away. Up in heaven, god tells you that if you hadn't taken out the gun, you would have just lost the $50 in your wallet and a $45.50 imitation rolex watch instead of losing your life and the chance to see your grandson become the president of Microsoft. God then proceeds to send you to hell to burn for eternity because you killed that robber.

Now.........is that really what you want? Moral of the story, its useless to fight fire with fire. If you don't start the fire in the first place, then there won't be anything to fight now will there? Ban the f***ing guns for peace sake.

Next, I'll touch on the issues of EMO. Yes yes, its a popular trend to be very very Emotional nowadays. After all, mainstream media has made it such that being EMO is cool, all thanks to emo punk bands like Green Day. Details have emerged that the killer, a south korean american citizen was very disturbed, dark, didn't talk much and to put it in a nutshell, a depressed EMO kid. Details are also emerging that its because of a girl that made him crack and shoot all those innocent people. Well, you know what, I don't pity that Cho guy or something. In fact, f*** him. How bad was his life for you to murder so many people?

This EMO issue was tackled in the newspaper sometime back(where teens slash themselves etc.) and here's my thoughts on EMO-ness.

To the EMO people and teens out there.............Is your life as bad as it seems? Grow some eyes and ears, see and listen to how many people are dying from starvation and other diseases in the less privelaged countries. You think your life sucks? Guess what, 1/3 of the people in the world would gladly be in your shoes. Sure, life can get a little rough and confusing at times, and yes there are many things you wish you could change but lets face reality here people, if you can change your life and if you want to, you most probably already would have. But the fact is you can't so just live with it. You like to cut yourself? Here's an alternative, go to the blood donation centre and ask them to stick a f***ing needle in you. And you don't even have to clean up any blood cause there won't be a mess! If you think you're too ugly and have overlarge ears or overlarge chests(for men), you're probably right but still is that a reason for you to hate yourself and be depressed? Some people have perfect looking ears, but they are deaf and can't hear the melody of a piano or the energetic sounds of an electric guitar. So stop complaining about your life. There are tons of other people whose life are worse off. If you think your life has no meaning and have no direction, just get a copy of the newspaper and read about how in some other countries, both natural and man made disasters have REALLY torn people's life apart. Maybe then you'll think twice and stop complaining.

Ok I think this was a pretty long post. Mainly full of negative stuff though but hell those are facts man. So in view of that, I'll like to end this post with a short clip from one of my favourite comedies "Family Guy" just to lighten the mood of this post. Hope you enjoy it.

Hahaha do you think cows like it?


The wise man said just find your place
In the eye of the storm
Seek the roses along the way
Just beware of the Thorns
Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close you're eyes and you will find
The way out of the dark
