Readings oh readings
Ok. Just to get the supposedly 'drunken' post out of the way (hey, it's just ONE grammatical error)
Over the course of the past few months i've realised there's quite a lot of books i wanna read (and sadly, not everything is available on audiobooks bar alice in wonderland and the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. which i totally loved). the selfish gene, through the looking glass, six impossible things before breakfast, small gods... i wonder if i should bring a book along to orion and if i'd have time (or light) to read...
and the thing is. i probably won't get around through all, or even any of those before sch starts again and i'm caught up in the mess of work and other stuff. that, and i've decided there's one other book i wanna read first. i can't believe i'd be ever saying this. but yup. i'm picking up the bible after exams...

An ode to idiots
(Ok, i'm not gonna start writing in rhymes, so no need to cringe. But yeah)
sure, idiots, being their idiotic selves, are so worthy of despise. after all, they never fail to contribute to our general UN-happiness, either screwing something up big time or simply performing acts that start those disapproval neurons of ours firing wildly
But imagine a world without idiots. that will be a sad, sad one indeed. where else can we then find such cheap thrills and pleasure in trouncing such idiots in our wake. we don't want to trip our friends up, and without idiots who are there around that deserves such cruel fates. rejoice as you see their bubble of thinking they knew it all burst. and this time i'm not going to hold back and start feeling bad for them.
ah, one can almost smell that sweet joy. who says idiots were only all bad... so here's a toast to them out there. cheers! ...and don't say you haven't been warn

scary things
as much as i am against it i am very fascinated by the things religion can do to people(now, how many times has it been that i've mentioned this in this blog. yes, that's how fascinated i am). and add to the list now, love. or rather, perceived love.
and man, aren't they scary. the way they make certain people behave (or is it rather the way certain people behave in response to it?).
slightly diverging but if there's anything i've learnt about myself in the past few months is that i'm very judgmental. much more than i thought i was, much more than i hoped i was. but i guess we just have to take certain things about ourselves in our stride. on one hand, we don't want to let them boil over to the extremes but on the other what use are resolutions to change them that don't work. and i just have to take it that slowly i'd start noticing more and more scary people, more and more people who just aren't up to the mark
oh well. that's what friends are for. when you can comfortably throw away the need to cast judgment. it's good to give my eyes rest once in a while from all the eye-rolling
