Sorry people and to the very little audience out there. This will be second last post until the official announcement. I am considering changing my blogging site. Mainly due to the missing archives issue. I am afraid as I am writing this, another entry in my archives would have gone away. So I may change to other blogging site. Currently looking into blogspot and would scout for more. I want hangedman as my domain but hangedman.blogspot.com was taken and that bloody site was literally hanged! In conclusion, no post. I have some back up post written and saved in my TXT so dont be surprised if there is a sudden surge in number of post / day in the future. Until then, Have a nice day.
Was reading this novel. It is really interesting. The prologue captures me. Can help thinking about the 5000-word story that my Form 2 teacher once asked us to write. I wonder if I could write that again. To read that novel, go here:
Yesterday stacked a total of 10 salt/peppers in dinning hall. And engineering achievement. I think dining hall should decorate their wall with these bizzare pictures of their stuff having fun- stacking of salt and peppers, making models with forks and spoons, stacking a pyrimid with glasses... That adds fun to the stoic dining atmosphere.
Missed dinner and lunch deliberately. What the hell...Roommate is tempting me with AOE II Online with fellow floormates. Hate that. Gotta get out of here soon or I'll fall into temptation. Had 4 games yesterday, having the satisfaction of creaming my roommate (also my ally) with Onagers. I used 3 Onagers and his 10 Onagers along with some Mongudai are gone. Not my fault. I need to take revenge on my 5 innocent champions. Alright, that's a little too much maybe but...
UPDATE: I dint play...but I watched along...regretted. If I joined in, it would be 3v3, should end earlier
Chatted with Onee-sama 2 days ago. Discuess the use of 'cannot do-' in Japanese. Cant get it completely still. Looks like I will be having trouble in my JAP 102 class next semester...
Suddenly realized that my archives are gone. March series suddenly gone without a trace. Dang it. Emailed tblog bu still waiting for response. Friend invited me over zorpia...hmm...
Arafat has officially passed away today. Wonder why they would let him hang on the oxygen tank for some time. Did they gave up extorting the vegan?... I believe they manage to secure his money. It's either with PLO or Sula, his wife. Maybe they even split the share of money. Poor Palesteniens. Imagine everyone of you got your little share of prize and lottos.
I would rather believe that there is a conspiracy behind everything. So, if you tell me that Pres Bush attack Iraq to liberate the poor state, I'll ask you to go die. Nonetheless, if you could come up with faked-evident saying that Pres Bush secured some X number of oil contract with local warloards and that his oily tychoon friends would have a small share on it and scoop all the rest for himself and so on and so forth, I would treat you like demi-god. Unless you could prove to me that those fake documents are genuine stuff. Hey, all documents are made up to convince skeptics like me. I wont fall for that!
Am I being too imaginative or that's just plain fact? Come on, I once even believe that some alien came to Earth and kidnapped me to Mars for some brain experiment. That's why I am a little retarded. So stop convincing me that I am thinking too much. The conspiracy is there. Trying to runaway from believing there is no conspiracy is not going to change the fact that the conspiracy is there. Did I make myself clear? In short, you cant change the fact. Ask your mum and see what they hide from you. Remember when you are younger your mum would say that you are picked from some garbage dump site? That maybe true. What about those dont take candy from strangers story tale? OK, maybe there is some truth in there...The point is think, how many times you got tricked and cheated when your are small? There must be some conspiracy among your uncles and aunties...
Maybe I should stop being too skeptical. It consumed too much of my brain cells. Trying to connect those little dots is never an easy task. What more if after connecting it, the picture looks so abstract. You 'life-is-good' people wont understand a bloody thing. Like looking at Picasso or what's his name... the funny looking picture with clock bent in 4th dimension and a half dead tree. It's like explaining the existance of a working bending clock that looks flat to you. (sounds like a blog title to me...) You just dont get it, do you? Man, what a retard. Ask your mum if the doctor scooped some of your brain out when you are small.
Too much dabating. Maybe there is a conspiracy that I would debate with myself so that I wouldnt be able to study and bring the class's average down and make everyone happy. Those bastards, they always conspire the day before my exams. I realize that I am a little 'high' before exams and would need to crap more to excrete those unkown carcigonen. I would call it crapsinogen.
[Crapsinogen == defined as substances that when applied on a person would cause extreme dizziness, headache, and muscle excitement on mouth and tongue. No antidote. Nonetheless, crapping it out would help in excretion of toxin.]
Now that I have realized that...you cant do a thing. Me will expose of your dirty tricks and make you eat grass for the rest of your life.
The weather is freaking cold, that hurts my studying mood...I wonder if the demons are roaming out there...You know, those cold-blooded bastards.

Since dont know when, I'd decided to hang out in the Union every Friday after my 421 class. Since I am meeting with a friend constantly on Friday at 4, I would spend my first 2 hours in the Pool center playing Pool, Pinball, Crazy Taxi, or just watching people jumping on DDR platform. Oh yea, I am pretty bored playing pool alone, come join me sometime from 2-4 Friday Union Pool Center. Nonetheless I wont be there all the time, just most of the time...if we are fated, we shall meet.
Enough of advertisement. So back to where we were....PinBall. That's the beginning of my PinBall adventure. I like it at first but I got frustrated these few weeks. The pinball machine just decided to hit on my by asking me to feed him with more tokens per time period. What a bitch. I dont mind but if the ball just went straight into the deep end after a few minutes of moving the flippers...man I hate that! Just like humping a w...bad example. just like gambling, you are not satisfied and you want more...so I go to the change machine and get more...
This is the one that I am addcited to it...another one is LOR pinball.
Yesterday alone, I have spent $5 on that stupid machine. But I gotta play for a worth of more than $5- I got 1 free shot for breaking the replay scores, 1 free shot for special, 1 free shot for unknwonw technical glitch. Come to think about it, there is one time that I have spent $2 but played a total games worth of $6 due to technical error...he just gave me free shots for unknown reasons. Not too bad afterall. Maybe there is a conspiracy that the machines tried to lure me into playing and then squeeze my money little by little...smart. Next time I would just put $3 tokens and end my game as the tokens deplete. You cant fool me, suckers!
If you think you'd installed a Pinball in your PC...wait till you come to the real machine. It's much more awesome. The ball rolls like there is no friction and it's speed that rivals a X-33 plane. And the lights flicker faster than ambulance siren and nothing beats the excitement of getting mutiple balls. It's like getting multiple orgasm...Plus, no irritating moving the screen up and down as the ball goes. hmm...one drawback...$$$
So, let's play pinball. It is highly recommended if you have too much change to spare and dont want to donate it to the homeless. Oh ya, you can benefit another pinball player by putting additional tokens in the machine. That's the least you can do to reflect what little generousity you have left.
So here I am since 10pm, trying to catch up with the US Election between Bush and Kerry. 1/0 option...what a stupid system. At this time, Bush secured 249 Electoral Votes while Kerry has 211.
Currently, OH states with 20 EV is going down to Bush. Bush is leading with 51% at 97% vote count. So, looks like Kerry cant do anything but prepare a conceding speech. Meanwhile in NM, 52% lead by Bush at 86% vote count almost guaranteed him that state.
Meanwhile, Republic gain a majority in both houses.
So that concludes Bush will Rule for another 4 years. What does that mean?
1. Democrats maybe filing reports requesting for vote recount. But Sen Kennedy may advise otherwise and the Democrats will shut up.
2. Bush will continue his Iraq campaign without further adue. No need to worry about the image back home.
3. US #1 most hated person would be Nader.
(Cant help it. I am in IL, a Democrat state and I am prone to ridicule Bush, not that I like him to begin with)
Some other observations I made.
1. Bush's face in campaign is so much better. He should make a mask and wear that everytime for public appearance.
2. Many of the states are won not by landslide majority. It is bloody close. So close that you want to punch everyone and pull the traitor out. This simple majority implied a huge division among people.
3. Still too many people are not voting. I think. This is bad...hmm...I need statistic to back me up. Anybody out there that could help?
4. IF there is another Civil War in US, I am not surprise. Look at the states won by Bush, it is nearly all Midwest region while the Democrats wins the two coast. Texas is a die-heart fan of Republican...but hey what do you expect? It is a either or situation.
5. I think there are more people watching Superbowl than American Election. I didnt watch Superbowl, so it is just my thought.
6. I suspect the Osama bin Laden Videoclip is a conspiracy. The timing is simply too close to election where he is suppose to be dead 3 years ago.
7. Rumors says that Iran maybe a new target for Bush expansion. He better start attacking or Iran will be pointing Nuclear missile at White House in no time. Bush better dont touch any part of Asia. China is not going to be happy about it.
