NK News

"NK News is a searchable database of North Korean propaganda. It contains nearly every article published on the KCNA's website, in English and Spanish, since Dec 2, 1996"

This is fun to read. Until you realize that we don't have it any better: our news is certainly less defiant, but still, just as much fawning towards our leaders, and in almost total disregard of reality...

And that face, and that shirt... So familiar. Heh.

So much to do, so little time

I have suddenly run out of time to do everything I am supposed to do. If I can pull everything off successfully, it'd be so satisfying... *grin*

Peace and harmony

Everyone says that it is mostly spectators on the street. But, with TVM dispersing information regarding the unrest regularly, we should all be watching what's going on on TV, safe at home.

Every time I switch on the TV, Shakeeb is there... Giving information. But why do people still go to watch what is happening? Is it because they don't believe Shakeebbe? If so, why?

Self defeating

I’ve been thinking about why I cannot get this blog going—and it is because of my self-defeating attitude towards self-expression—whenever I had started to blog on my experiences and thoughts—in the middle of the post I conclude that what I am writing is of no consequence—the “big picture” comes to mind—my experiences and thoughts don’t seem worthwhile or relevant—and it finally happens that I may post something in jest or a joke instead—but usually I don’t post anything—because jokes come from humour and my humour is overworked whenever I’m awake—trying hard not to express my real feelings and thoughts.

A list of what I hate most...

1) Not getting enough sleep at night.
2) People not returning my calls: its only common courtesy, and with caller-id available to all, there really is no excuse.
3) People with no real achievements and little or no talent trying to impress everyone else about how great they are... ie. people who are full of shit.
4) Ants... especially the little red ones.
5) Sleeping alone... but I am getting used to it.
6) Having to iron my trousers and shirts in the morning.
7) Yuppies who like fancy gadgets... especailly when they ask me to configure their gadgets for them.

Where the blog becomes a log

After one and a half years and 5 posts, I hereby label this blog a failure.

From now on, I will use this to keep reminders, information I find I have to refer to while on the move, etc... A sort of log book. Just for myself.

Cheers.
