positivity

yeah

okay on wednesday everyone probably heard the news. if you haven't then you probably live in alaska or in a crack somewhere. im talking about obama. well it wasn't really a surprise. its a good thing he won. if mccain had won im sure he would have gone on a hunting marathon with palin instead of fixing america's economic shit hole. obama got right on it, even though he still has 2 months before taking over the office. so YAY OBAMA!

so im sure if you were following the campaign, you would have been thoroughly entertained like i was. only in the US will you ever find elections and politics fun and fascinating. you can't really imagine throwing a parade in any other country after the elections. but then again, only in US is the media so bloody influential. tv networks really put a good spin on the elections this season. very captivating.

there were somethings that i didn't really fancy about the elections.

for one, the duration. i guess that's one thing singapore got right. short and sweet. well not sweet for me since PAP keeps winning, but short...

another thing i didn't like was how many personal attacks they both made. while i'll acknowledge that every election there'll be shit going on, this election was particularly fraught with personal jabs. it was like 2 baracudas in a steel cage fighting it out. i guess that was the entertaining bit eh? hmm...

then i didn't like the racial and religious stigma that was pinned on obama. even if he was muslim, he has since converted. but think about it, should it even matter? urgh, talk about patriotism. i think republicans are kind of... gifted with a not so high IQ...? im trying this new thing: being politically correct. heh.

i also didn't like how the republicans have this idea that obama stands for socialism just because he wants some regulation of the free market. in case these unfortunately endowed people don't read news, there's like some serious shit going down in the free market.

another thing i didn't like was sarah palin. republicans can relate to her, sure... but only because she's just like them: gifted with a not so high IQ. i didn't like the reason mccain picked her as well: to win over female voters. HELLO?! american females are not stupid. well republican females are, but the rest of them aren't. they're not going to vote for you just because you hired something with tits.

DID I MENTION IM REALLY GLAD OBAMA WON? im happy its over. except republicans, the rest of the world is happy. AAAAAH phooey, who bloody cares about them anyway? all they ever do is hunt things and go to church, but once in 4 years they get to screw up the country. great! we'll see what happens in 4 years, until then obama can fix all of america's shit. CHANGE baby... bring it.

ps. amoeba, darling, thank god for our similar tastes in music. let's never stop being indie snobs and live happily ever after with our music hoarding.

okay, all done. i deleted question 24 because i don't want anybody pressured into doing it. if you want to do, just do... don't be a prick. how bored must i have been to actually do these things... sigh...

love is noise

okay this i damn frustrating. my favourite bands just released new CDs and i have no money (aside from my SLR fund which is self-declared as UNTOUCHABLE) to spend on them. beta!!! teach me how to download that thingy again...

i realise that when i get new friends, i tend to ignore old ones. when i get a new family, i ignore the old one. when i get new stuff, i ignore the old one. which also means if i ever have children i have to stop at 1 child and if i want a dog i can't have the child. conclusion, im going to be childless... random. anyway, i know its super mean, but is it cold to need change in my life? i'll be so bored with the same things and people all the time, everyday.

when i had lots of things going on, i didn't even think of any of them at all. now have time to think, feel and let my thoughts settle. so when i have space for them back in my mind , i finally miss them. i promised i will and now i do. the next time, i forget you guys and push any off you off of my radar, its just my nature and need for change, space and time... just understand it and don't stop calling me up in the middle of the night and talking for hours. don't strike me off your list. just bear with it and i'll come back to missing you guys soon okay?

that was so fucking poetic and deep (nothing to do with my non-existent boyfriend by the way) that i had to add that little britain season 4 aka. litttle britain USA is airing in the states and the kingdom. i knew for quite some time, but im a selfish indie snob. get with the proggramme. heh heh heh. go watch go watch. they have some new sketches revamped with american typecasts and new settings.

AND i realise i like some of my classmates alot now. they're awesome to bitch/talk with/to. with some ultimate bitching sessions under our belts, i think i'll put an effort into liking the rest and getting along with all of them now... bitching totally bonds people. its the universal sign of peace and love amidst war. you can totally imagine stalin and winston having a bitchfest over that skank, hitler.

spies

well hello there

i did the most asinine thing. i thought i was just soooo smart and techno savvy that i went and got myself excited that i knew how to set up a blog. damn it, i publicised phantom limb's url on my msn personal message and now i can't bitch about anyone. i don't even know who views my blog and i can't make any personal jabs, references and/or attacks. grrr. the pains of having a public blog. grr grr. maybe i'll change the url... hmm... any suggestions? i really like the current one though, so ME...

anyway... here's one reason it sucks to be indian and why we would be at nuclear war with them if ever i became prime minister. 5 minutes ago i got a phone call from a random (no douchebag, we're not ALL related) indian man. twice. the first time my sister picked up.

this is why men from india are not to be reckoned with. all weirdos and wankers. got handphone only, now big shot la? so scary... imagine if it that happened to me face to face. i'd just scream and run like a little girl. and people ask me what's my problem with indians...

on the other hand, what if he really wanted to be friends? damn... should have asked him over to my house for a belated deepavali feast... what if he mistakens me for a hostile singaporean that doesn't want him in the country??? weeeeeell, that wouldn't be sooooo bad now, would it..?
