Holidays

I have a feeling this blog needs a gentle nudge. Haven't found much to post about though, holidays generally make me feel lazy and stuff.

This liver feels rather lazy.

2012

It's another end-of-the-world flick, where all the Yanks manage to survive every manner of calamity thrown at them. The entire show could be construed as a philosophical discussion of the end of the world and who should survive it. It looks like politicians should not be allowed to survive at any cost, if I understood the show's last hour well enough.

Somehow after watching I just wished that we get an apocalypse movie where everybody gets wiped off the surface of the Earth instead.

Restarting brain functions...

Overdrive

Ever feel as though you've been thinking too much about a single thing, be it an idea, a person, or a concept?
Well, you've probably burnt yourself out just putting the entire puzzle together. I know how it feels, searching in the dark for that missing piece. It can get worse if the missing piece doesn't fit into the puzzle, for you then have to look for the correct piece all over again. It's an entire vicious cycle, for it will suck you in deeper the more you think.

Time to break free of that cycle.

Hidden meanings

-Falling, faster and faster
longing for a quick release
opening myself to the void
rending my mind apart
every fibre of me seeking
new reasons for
closing the door, falling
ever faster-

Woken from the dream
he's weary,
yawning and bored.

Atheist campaign in the UK

>>Link<<

My take: At least they're speaking out. Sometimes we should just analyse facts and try to justify them before discussing religion, whether it's needed or not.

Emo again

Don't ask. Consoling me would do nicely though :)

-I died in my dreams
what's that supposed to mean
got lost in the failure
I died in my dreams
reaching out for your hand-

Innocence

It's frustrating to always find yourself in that old position of unrequited love. Recurring problem I guess.

Three inches of air
between your cheek
and my lips

DST

It's 8 o' clock already, yet there's still a lot of sunshine coming in from the west. Gonna get some more ESD2 revision in before I find myself in bed again.

I'm finding it kinda difficult to write long, coherent posts, unless there's a precipitating factor or something.


Talk to me more,
give me inspiration,
let me freshen my tired mind.

New Scientist: Rejection massively reduces IQ

>>Link<<

Gotta say this is interesting, go check it out.

My take: Well, if that's the case, it means my current IQ *could* be higher.

1 down 3 to go

There is a certain energy that fills you once you've polished off an exam paper, especially one that you thought would be difficult or particularly painful. Maybe it's a manic sort of energy. Either way, it's difficult to describe that feeling when you've moved past one exam, ready to tackle the next one.

Sweetness

Finally done with the text part of the newsletter. Yes, I know it's kinda overdue already. This is what happens when you think too much about exams and newsletters.

Gonna dress it up with more pix now. Can't believe most of the photos I need are on Facebook.

-The one I love
is striking me down on my knees
The one I love
drowning me in my dreams
The one I love
over and over again
dragging me under-
The One I Love, The Rasmus

Finding myself

"It's not about finding who you are; it's about creating who you want to be."

How true this sentence is. It reminds me of what I should be doing instead of finding things to do.

Melbourne Cup Day

It's a public holiday, but for uni students it's another day at the libraries, slaving away to get those four H1's. Brain's functioning fine, until the notes get taken away, that is. Gotta try and memorise all the pertinent facts and figures.

Yet another sleep deprived day in paradise.
