Of National Dramas, Audiophiles and Tying Up Some Loose Ends

A long post full of reading material for all the horrid posts I had the past few days. Let's go!

Why do we read the newspaper these days? It's full of stupid political soap dramas of which both sides are intertwined into a big mess of which will roll over civilians regardless of innocence or actual attitude. Our PM has the decency to tell people about the illusion of a democracy, that it is a zero sum game, when a real democracy is not all about the winners, but the processes of change and communication between both sides. Despite my slightly favouring Bersih, they are also idiots by spreading information is such an unnecessary way. Why is Karl Max banned in this country? We might have the freedom to express, but even within such context there is much room of which we must practice considerable caution.

A civil war is needed. Civil wars are not wars, they are the creative expression of the people trying to speak out in a false democracy. There is such thing as a peaceful rally, the only reason to be scared of one is if you are guilty. Sedition is not as easy as it looks for the normal citizen (extremists put aside), so please give us more credit for our political and social awareness. Sigh.

On a separate note. Finally got my itchy hands ears relieved by getting relatively mid-range earphones (there goes my hearing). Suddenly, even YouTube videos sound so much more emotive. Visual stimulation might be a mistakenly labeled top tiered preference by gay men, but I think audio orgasmic delights take the prize hands down. For a more testable hypothesis: try watching porn with no sound vs. listen to porn with no video (but close your eyes).

Klipsch s3.

We are talking again, I'm glad much. Very much.

For a longer version of yesterday's impromptu clubbing session, nothing big happened. Made some nice friends, that's all. Putting all that aside, how many people actually meet their long term partners from clubs?

Probably getting a smartphone soon. My personal goal is to see how long I'll last before installing apps like Grindr and Scruff. Not that I'm shooting those apps down, nor am I saying that people using them are sluts, but yeah...

Time for the weekend to end. Tomorrow is Blue Shirt Day to commemorate Monday morning blues, a fun project suggested by a group of us at the office. A little whimsy goes a long way.

Love you guys so much, whoever you all are.
