Damn Them! Now, why didn’t anyone laugh? That’s practically a classic comic gag. Some black (well, almost) dude criticizing the system and The Man. Plus, haven’t you ever seen a show in which the hero, or villain, shakes his fists at the heavens and declares – “DAMN THEM! DAMN THEM ALL TO HELL!!”

But anyway, don’t get me wrong. I knew that there was a chance that I could get screwed for a joke like that and I didn’t really care. Sometimes, hell, most of the time, the joke is worth it ( i just hope that Mr See isnt too angry). But no one laughed! Why? It was pretty funny. I mean, I would be the first to say that I am most definitely not a comedian or anything but still cant you just juxtapose those images? Isn’t it the slightest bit funny, I mean even if you add the fact that it backfired, that only makes it better.

But maybe I’m wrong. My sense of humor is more screwed up that FEMA’s idea of a quick response. But I digress. No wait, I don’t. I probably am not a funny person. I mean, in a day, only 4 out of every ten jokes I make actually get a response and that’s just because I am funny, in a Mister Bean/ Charlie Chaplin kind of way (It’s the bloody accent, right?).

But the anger later was only because of my own bizarre inner workings. I think I get it from my granddad (mother’s side, of course) only it seems to have gotten worse (or better) over the two generations. Sometime I can’t stop the hate even when I’m concentrating. I really need to see a shrink sometime. Maybe an exorcist. Never mind.

I never really could understand how people can doubt the existence of God. Or when they say that God doesn’t help people or the ever popular - “How could God allow this to happen?!”

I mean, for me, I continually see the proof of his hand in my life. I always get what I need (even those ridiculously small things) and have never been in any real harm…. which is really starting to worry me. I mean, I sin as much as the next guy, but in all honesty I don’t really pay for it. I seriously getting worried that everything is like, building up or something, and that I’ll fail my final year exams and get kicked out of IB/ be forced to repeat because of it. I mean, I should be studying right now, but I’m not. Add that to the swear words in the first paragraph and the ‘exorcist’ crack in the third and I think that I really don’t deserve anything I get.

I happen to be reading ‘THE SANDMAN : Preludes and Nocturnes’ right now (Yes I know I should be studying). I just read that part on ‘The Oldest Game’ when morpheus goes to hell to find his helmet thingus and I was thinking… hey, that sounds like fun. I wonder if anyone reading this knows the rules. If so, please drop a comment. I’m planning to set up a thread to play it on the Class Forum.

Hurray! Looks like the Class Forum is back online. 2 weeks to exams too. Really wonder why its open now… Hmmmm… In any case, we can’t let it die again like the last time. We need to have some sort of addictive thing that will keep people there even after the exams and holidays. I vote we use some sort of ‘Bob the Pirate’ role-playing game. Also, we should change it to more than just a class forum. It could be a way we keep in touch years from now.

People always seem to find little quiz things to put on their blogs , so as to reveal bits about themselves to the world. I wonder where they get them. Also, where do people get those cool blogskins? Do they cost money?

Does anyone here watch a MTV show called Aeon Flux? I was watching that dumb show ‘Wildboyz’ a couple of days ago and saw some sort of crawler thingus saying that a new season was coming out on 22 Sept. I looked it up and found that it was some science fiction cartoon about an assassin/ government agent of some sort of futuristic utopia (or dystopia) run by a guy called Trevor.

Damnation, I seem be getting drawn into the web of DOTA. People tell me that it’s addictive and expensive but, God help me, I don’t think I can resist. Hopefully I can hold out until after the exams.

Wow, this is turning out to be a pretty long post with lots of ‘Plot Twists’ but anyway, I just wanted to say one more thing. Recently when looking for the blueprints to a Kaos-type Vortex Generator online, I stumbled across this site. KhaosWorks.org. It belongs to some Singaporean ACS dude who writes science fiction. Apparently there was once a Singaporean Sci-fi magazine by the name of Terrasact (or something along those lines, please correct me if I’m wrong.) Cool. It stopped being printed because the science fiction market wasn’t really that big back then. Too bad that it isn’t still around. I think that the sci-fi market has grown tremendously over the pass few years. Sighs (Or ‘Haiz’. I’m not good in this internet lingo.)

Oh yeah, one more thing. Did you know that Coca Cola takes its name from one of its ingredient? Guess what. That ingredient is kola, as in kola nuts, as in the kola nuts in Things Fall Apart. No joke. So, when Okoye when to visit Unoka and they shared the kola nut, that is roughly the same as two guys opening and drinking a bottle of Coke when they visit each other. Another startling similarity between the Igbo and the Singaporean Ceylonese Community. Of course, for us, any soft drink can be used.



Hahahahahahahahahaha……
