I finally get to sit down and think. Hahaha... life is a good joke. I don't get why people are so unhappy with themselves. When one is alive, that is already enough cause to celebrate. When one has friends, that is another cause to celebrate. And all one has to do is count the sunbeams in their lives, not the shadows that fall behind.

Hah, it takes me this long to have sufficient time to actually sit down and crap. Well at least I persist in keeping this blog alive. I wonder how my other compatriots are doing. Blogging is like a ritual I guess. A cleansing ritual, where once a day, or a week, your thoughts are thrown into the cyberspace junkyard for other people to see, hmph about and forget for the rest of your life, but in the end, your mind is now not as cluttered as before.

Now I shall attempt to write a play. Just for the heck of it.

Memento Mori.

No, this isn't a reference to anyone else's blog. Its just I've learnt the meaning of this phrase some time ago, and it seems now like an apt topic to put up. Remember that you must die. I think death is meant to be a quiet conclusion to your life. And so it would speak of who you are, and how you went. Death is inevitable. I guess the phrase memento mori simply reminds us that while we are out there pursuing whatever worldly desires, think not of the spiritual world, or the afterlife, but rather the memories you'll leave behind. Footprints in the sands of time don't last, but while they do, we would know what kind of person walked those steps.

You know, there was a report in the papers about 2 weeks back on a NEO (Near Earth Object) which is kinda like a big asteriod that would smash into Earth like in Deep Impact and Armageddon. Except that this one wasn't that impressive. It was about 5 km in diameter, and the chances of it hitting the Earth was something like 1 in 60, 000. Now personally I wouldn't bet on such odds, but I would gladly take out $3 million dollars to bet that it wouldn't hit the Earth. Think about it, it was a win-win situation. If it hit the planet, it would probably wipe out lots of life on Earth, hopefully including my bookie. And the chances of that is a lot higher. And if it doesn't hit the planet, I win $50 bucks.

Anyway, the bad news is that it may hit the Earth in 2019, and recent calculations showed it won't hit the planet. So this means I'll have to do my homework.

Okay, now, let me get back to my rantings. I have been without sufficient sleep because of work, homework, and more work. Yes, even when you are at the threshold of freedom, with the car keys in your pockets, a pack of Malboros in hand, and the power to totally smash up a new car, you still have homework. Its kinda like an anticlimax to the growing up stage isn't it?

Its so totally unfair, at an age where you are supposed to assume the responsibilities of a young adult, you get dumped with crap like homework. Well people my age in the dark ages are like hacking and slashing with broad battle axes. I could do with a battle axe right about now. Now a little blood lust rampage never did anyone a lot of harm did it?
