i feel like doing some proper philosophy, i've realised i've been really incoherent in my previous blog posts (which is making me a tad nervous for my KI results)
i asked my kid cousin the question Hume posted a long time ago.
"If a tree falls in the forest, and no one's there to hear it, does it make a sound?"
my cousin guessed, only because i promised her a surprise if she could give me a valid answer.
the point of the question wasn't the surprise, rather, i wanted to make her think (well shut up would've been better but i have to be condecending). which makes me wonder what truly motivates us?
i don't know if im personally motivated by knowledge. though many would agree with aristotle that happiness is our motivation. (this is starting to sound like an eastern philo v.s western philo argument). if the child is only motivated by the potential happiness of the surprise, does this reflect their innermost feelings?
is our conscious mind strong enough to block out most of our innate feelings?
(much like being able to hold back farts during dinners, or not pee-ing everywhere.) and most certainly, is this a good thing?
makes me rather depressed to think of my existence. i asked my other cousin why are 2 perhaps omniscient beings eternally damned(this might be a little harsh) to fight over tiny insignificant creatures like us?
she gave me a non-secular answer which i believe in but half hate myself for doing so.
because its a non-logical argument and yet it makes me uneasy questioning God's omniscience.
fuck this shit im going to bed.

End of A's: no biggie. i am still alive. time to move on with life
Prom: holy crap, why the fuck did i agree to wear a dress?
i don't know what troubles me more, wearing a dress or drinking non-alcoholic beer.
(thanks leon for that line). seems like prom's a bigger thing than A's.
i think i've just turned into one of those glitzy bimbotic american teenager.
well at least i know im not going to contribute to the growing number of "prom night dumpster babies".
fucking idiots, buy condoms. use them. if you don't know how to, then you shouldn't be allowed to have sex in the first place. numb-nuts.
tomorrow's a busy day. i don't know if i have time to think up a nice solo for rock and roll all night. don't know if i have the guts to show up in a fucking dress.
DON'T KNOW DON'T KNOW UGHHHHH.
-waxed legs? check.
-got clothes and stuff? check.
-changed guitar strings to lighter gauge? check.
-wrote resume? check.
-balls? ??????
well. if i stammer, i hope my Zara shirt can make me look cool enough. haha.

TODAY WAS REAL HALLOWEEN.
i was passing through downtown east, when what do i see but a bunch of people in all white! made the comment on "oh look, is this some PAP rally?"
AND TO MY HORROR, IT WAS.
naturally, the anti-establishment side of me took over,
and i started saying really loud "IM A DISGRUNTLED CITIZEN"
and when i realised it was a PAP awards presentation ceremony,
i said "wow, what a great use of taxpayers money"
no one said anything!
no one tried converting me like a jehovah's witness would!
probably because im a student therefore have no voting power.
to which i reply WAIT 3 YEARS, FUCKERS!
or they think 1 vote doesn't count.
and now i will explain my cynicism.
as a KI student, i have learnt that my opinions will only be valid if i have adequate justifications. i am not unnecessarily cynical, just that when im cynical, i pretty much nit pick.
moving on, i believe that politics should not be society's problem.
it should not be the centre of society.
sigh, sadly, economics justify the need for a government.
but basic demand and supply doesn't, assuming human GREED does not exist.
you can pretty much sum up a country to be made up of 1)Economy 2)Societies 3)Politics. when i mean economy, i mean the country's economy, i.e total goods and services ++++++, societieS with the s because in a country there exist many societies , somewhat like a taxonomy, based on whatever (age, race, income earned etc.) and politics, which refers to the type of governance and activities it is involved in.
taking it from a scientist's POV, the scientist SHOULD agree (if he has no knowledge on the economy) with me, that a country should not bother with politics. this is because, since a country is made entirely out of the human construct, we include variables ourselves. to reduce chances of anomilies (i.e, not being able to achieve utopia (AGAIN, assuming that is what society wants)), we simply reduce the variables. therefore, we should not bother with politics.
but of course, since economy, society and politics aren't mutually exclusive entities, therefore we are reduced(haha strong word!) to having to include politics in, which is understandable.
thus, though i feel that there is no need for politics, a better conclusion would be to include it, but not let it be the main focus of society. afterall, its the imposing of political "values" which has started wars. (i don't want to go into this, ask history students!)
to future politicians : learn that EVERY vote counts. for humans are influential creatures.

"And you have to promise yourself that you'll stick by this route because with every look you shoot behind (assuming you pick the route with the field of magnolia and barley and your favourite small-blue-flowers-that-grow-in-bunches (I can't believe I did not copy and paste that when I could have, but then it only makes my sincerity more evident are you lost yet?) and no, I'm not trying to influence your decision making, it's just easier to make an analogy with), one flower dies and one guitar dissolves into thin air, and soon it'll be ugly and unpleasant which would then make it like the other route which you initially chose to abandon for the better, WHICH WOULD THEN MAKE YOU A SUCKA! So please win.
Oh, and also that I'll still be your friend, even if you're muddy and deaf (because I'm fair and trying to be as unbiased as a flawed human being can get)."
This is why i win at life. my friends care enough to make a blog at 2am much against technical illiteracy. with friends like these who needs alcohol?

I just grabbed a HALF FULL bottle of 2003 wolf blass off my sister's table.
i am an optimist!
doomsday is approaching,
i fear for my life.
really.
its not another crappy national exam,
its THE crappy national exam which would determine my fate in this world.
where hierarchies exist,
and you are always categorised according to alphabets.
which, quantitatively, have no meaning by themselves.
A is for average!
B is for brilliant!
C is for capitol!
D is for divine!
E is for extraordinary!
S is for spectacular!
U is for ultimate!
i am SOOOOOO optimistic.

Im going with the flow on this one!
INGLORIOUS BASTARDS. 5 STARS. (still can't beat kill bill though.)
to sum it all in 1 sentence:
"Inglorious Bastards was a tasteful reminisce of kill bill in the context of a totally different story."
Elements of Kill Bill was laced through out the show, from the opening credits, to the soundtrack, which gives a somewhat nostalgic feel to the show.
Like most of Mr. Tarantino's works, Inglorious Bastards, though based in the second world war, had more of a Clint Eastwood western feel to it. Like Kill Bill, its all about revenge. Once again, talented actors who could play their roles beautifully was partially the reason why this film was so great. you had the Elle Driver of the movie, (damn i forgot his name), which, exactly like Elle Driver, got his just desserts in a more than gruesome manner. You've got the quick fill-ins about the characters, you've got the witty cutaway gags into what the character was thinking, you've got arrows (ugh for the life of me i can't remember which show uses them).
Although, I was a little disappointed with the lack of commercial references (I love those). he didn't have many, well maybe its because i was concentrating more on the plot than looking out for the subtle references. One downside is that the show leaves the viewers feeling happy since the ending (though historically incorrect) is a typical idealistic one.
Nevertheless, great directing once again, Mr. Tarantino. In case those of you who have watched IG but not KB, and you're wondering why the Lieutenant wanted scalps, well, "scalping" does have a place in kill bill. That was how Kiddo killed O-ren ishii at the house of blue leaves.
So if you plan to watch the movie, or have watched the movie, I advice you, watch Kill Bill! you'd get most of the show that way.
My two cents.

If i don't make sense, am i anti-sense, or just nonsense?
is anti-sense the making of nonsense?
or nonsense is anti-sense?
if the ground was sense, and i stomped on the ground,
does it make me anti-sense?
or is the action of stomping the ground anti-sense?
or is this all nonsense?
