Days Go By

Posted on 31 Mar 2013 under Journal/Life Updates

On a quiet Sunday evening, I sit in my living room, curtains drawn, lights not switched on. It’s just slowly beginning to become dark, my laptop screen standing out as a wall of light, and the TV in the background broadcasting Aston Villa vs. Liverpool (Villa leading 1-0 as of the 33rd minute). I’ve just [...]


Happy Birthday, Dad

Posted on 25 Mar 2013 under Journal/Life Updates

For my sister’s birthday, I call her up at midnight, and promise to buy her something nice, generally shoes or bags. In that sense, I’ve got the best sister in the world. I’ll wish her, and a few days later, she says “So, I think you should transfer a couple of thousand bucks into my [...]


More Rambling

Posted on 23 Feb 2013 under Journal/Life Updates

It’s been a while since I’ve written. Anything. So I thought I’d write a post, yesterday. But I didn’t. Because I couldn’t think of what to write about. Then I thought I’d write a post today. I didn’t. Because I had nothing to write about. Actually, that’s not true. I could have written about a [...]


On Popular Music

Posted on 09 Dec 2012 under Journal/Life Updates

The other day I was at a Euphoria show. Let me start off by saying that I’m not really a fan of Euphoria. That’s not to say that I dislike them, because I like a few of their songs; it’s just that I’m not really that much into their music, never owned any albums, never [...]


Been Away For Too Long

Posted on 02 Dec 2012 under Journal/Life Updates

As I checked out my blog the other day, I realised that it’s been more than a month since my last post. And I thought to myself, “Oh boy, here we go again! There’s going to be another post about how long it’s been since I’ve written, and how life sucks and how I promise [...]


A Concept

Posted on 06 Jul 2012 under Journal/Life Updates

It rains. I lie on the concrete roof, wet and blinking. It takes a while before the mind gets accustomed to watching the drops of water fall on my glasses, millimetres away from my eyes, and not blinking in reflex. I lift my arms, heavy with wet clothes. I ask questions. The usual. Nothing new. [...]


Role Model

Posted on 26 Mar 2012 under Journal/Life Updates

By the time I publish this post, it would be roughly about half an hour late. Regardless… On Facebook, there’s an option to share your likes–music, TV, sports teams, etc. And then there’s an option to highlight the people who inspire you. And I couldn’t think of anyone except the following: Happy Birthday, dad.


(B)ad Ramblings

Posted on 10 Mar 2012 under Journal/Life Updates

I realised last night while watching a movie that as long as it’s interesting, it captures my full attention. I am less inclined to make comments or try to deflect attention to myself. Not the same with ads, though. Nope, never. As I was telling a very pretty girl yesterday, 95% of the advertisements on [...]


Rambles and Shambles … Just a lot of complaints, really

Posted on 21 Sep 2011 under Journal/Life Updates

In the past, I’d frequently surmise that man’s greatest gift is his ability to forget the bad experiences and remember the good ones…at least, in general. Now, I think maybe that’s not the case. I don’t understand how nostalgia works, though. Because when you feel nostalgic about the past, don’t all your past experiences seem [...]


Smiles, Airports and Media Players

Posted on 20 Jul 2011 under Journal/Life Updates

Windows 7 Media Player Is it just me or does Media Player 12 (bundled with Windows 7) really not have equaliser or other sound enhancement options? What kind of self-respecting media player doesn’t allow the listener to improve the bass or treble, at the very least? Makes me miss Quintessential all the more. That being [...]
