Will it ever end?
Interesting things have been happening in Limbo. For instance, im slowly beginning to master the art of modern pirating. Which is a lot more difficult than it looks. Like most things, the tension is physcological in nature. Questions like,
Is it supposed to do that?
Why doesnt it beep? And the old favourite,
Am i going to get in trouble for this? Well, we may never have the answers to these questions, at least in this short dream of a life. Oh well. To be frank, i dont think people want to know anyway.

Nights are fun. Esspecially late nights. Esspecially on weekends. Esspecially, esspecially on the giant holiday of the CNY weekend.
***INTERLUDE***
gong xi fa cai! Happy Chinese New Year!
Ha! bet you didnt see that coming..
***END OF INTERLUDE***
As i was saying... nights are fun... so many thoughts and images from the whole day bubbling around, just begging to be proccessed. Delicious. And me, ravenous for it all. Maybe it has something to do with missing POD... whoops... TOK.
I always wanted to do a post on this, but i could never really find the right words. But then, if im right, i never will.
What am i talking about?
You'd be suprised how often i hear that.
I got to stop typing in these damn one liners.
Stupid melodrama.
Oookay. As i was saying. I fear something happening, and i fear its been happening for a long time. Not just to us, whoever we are, but to everyone. The world in general. I dont really know what to call it, but i like the word "hyperinformation". I hope its not been kopped by some other theory.
See, we're constantly bombarded by information. The scary part is most of it is, for lack of a better word, drivel. So little really matters. We know stuff that we dont really need to. But we know it anyway and we hunger for more.
I mean, in this life, you live, you die. Its short and sweet and simple. And yet, the big mysteries we're wondering about are important too, right? So, why are so many people so afraid/apathetic about the big picture, but so focused on the meangingless bits. We connect them to our lives to make our little problems look big? To keep our sanity in a insane world. Just turn on the TV and you'll see what i mean. So much of it is... is... bullshit. Mumbo jumbo made up by the sponsors and big biz bosses so we buy into the lie. Dont get me wrong. I love stories with a passion. TV shows have stories too. I am intrigued by the fact that the stuff we're watching now is also gets broadcasted across the galaxy. Slowly, admittedly, but it does. I mean, someone on Alpha Centauri can be watching 'I Love Lucy' right now. Course, they need to know how to root out and purify, to distill the appropriate stuff... since it'll become quite muddled by the time it gets there.....
Anyway! I wonder whats happening to our minds. I dont think we were meant to live with so much nonsense crawling around in our memory banks. Whats happening to us? What are we becoming.
