Amidst my imaginary technological artillery crossfire, I've begun my homework... long overdue but working out my schedule, it seems that I can still take it slow and easy. Of course, this walk in the park means I have to forsake the adventurous kite-flying I had endeavored to do. This only means that my O level HMT results will suffer as such but considering my mental state of mind now, waddling in this whirlpool of adrenaline makes all those intellectual accomplishments insignificant (not that they ever were either way).
Well, finally this blog post, safe to say, is purified and free from smoke. Most of the times, to appease myself and to entice my dear readers (I'm completely stoked that I even had visitors..), I ramble about life and every small detail we engage in can surely be related to a moral value or life lesson. That can be arranged but today, we shall not tread in such waters. It's just me, and the boring educational-value blog post you might enjoy if my creativity were to start deteriorating (I can actually feel it pulsating away). I find myself bursting with bullshit (crudely but to be forthcoming) that just weaves around a new scoop each time an idea comes into my mind. Just yesterday, it took me longer to excavate an article from the newspaper archives than to formulate my take on it. In fact, I was rather pleased with what I coughed up with but still, 2 more blog posts (the formal English curriculum one) and I'll be done!
Just for the take, I've finally been assigned something on the Rafflesian Spotlight project. Fate or not, I've been dumped into Publicity/Ticketing as I/C with Chiraag. Uncannily, I'm in the department I have no single qualifications in and yet, I've been gifted with a co-I/C (just for namesake, not saying there's a main I/C) that's been and still is one of my greatest friends yet.
Perhaps my equation needs some updating.
Today I deduced that: Twitter>Facebook because you can toss in random tweets at your whim and fancy and no one will think you're a douche; or at least they can't explicitly express it because everyone's doing it on Twitter, hypocrite.
And of course, the conventional saying that Facebook>Twitter because if you want to say something, why keep it to 140 letters...
But while the two squabble at the corner (again, imaginary), I know that while each is good, none can better a blog. Because here, I lie and you have to believe. I smoke and you have to inhale it. I cry but you don't have to see the tears, the likes, or the limits.
If it's a bird or an F, it's just an emblem. But what really counts are the words, and while both Twitter and Facebook are counting the number of letters and tags per post and tweet respectively, blogs don't. That's why I'm here eventually.
And just as a parting spoof, new word I learnt: Xenophobia-fear of foreigners or strangers or of theirs politics or culture. Bombastic but altogether, true.
P.S. I don't think I've actually made it this far with a single post. I guess sticking to yourself counts the most!
