The Arena?
I'm not going to apologize for my MIA-ness, because I don't have to. And it's something serious, really. I'm metamorphosing into something that I never was, due to the excess thyroxine produced by my thyroid gland.
I think I should be shot now, because I don't want to become a failed mugger. Let's see..I fell asleep while trying to study bio. Dang fun, really. I set the alarm clock to wake me up at 4.30PM, and I woke up, really. But I decided that I'm not in the study mood, and fell asleep almost immediately. I didn't even reply an SMS because I was too sleepy. Sleepy or tired, whichever is your choice. I can't be bothered with a debate on that matter.
Anyway, I really can't study for nuts. I don't want to, either. It's amusing, really.
Oh yea, my tagboard seems to be buzzing with activity over the IPer tag. I'm getting really amused. I mean, I treat my blog like some rubbish bin--I vent my anger on it, and whatever posts I bang out don't go through conscious thought. So if you people want to think that I bother listing out my thoughts in order, and that I make a conscientious effort in blogging, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but you are wrong. I simply bang out posts if I have the mood to, and if I don't have the mood to, I won't.
Gah. I think I mentioned the anime Blood† before, right? It was really boring at the start. But now it's damn exciting. I can't stop myself from watching. But it only has like 50episodes and it's a bloody waste because I'd feel that raw sense of loss at every end of any anime that I really like. Urgh. I'm not emotional, but I've yet to really understand and realize the truth, that 天下无不散之宴席. I don't know. I guess I'm just being humane.
I haven't thought of a post title yet. I don't want to think either, I only have like 15minutes before I go offline to watch some show on Channel U. Revolving doors of vengeance or something. Hong Kong drama. Always enjoyable.
Oh yea, something about debating, since The Arena's all the rage now or something of similar magnitude.
Just in case anyone gets offended by my next part and my take on debating, here's a disclaimer--I don't moderate my blog posts and I just like to rant and type out what I feel, and I hope you won't get too uptight or hate me for it. I know I'm a detestable character, but I don't want anyone to hate me because of my take on debates.
I don't know what's so good about a bunch of people talking. I mean, if you want to talk, go coffee shop also can, right? There's no point in organizing an entire competition for the sake of talking and arguing over points that wouldn't help in present society. Face it--when was the last time an argument you had with your friend made a positive change in your life? It's still the same isn't it? Tell me then, what's the point of getting into such a senseless 'debate'? Debating is really just an euphemism for quarrel. OK maybe I'm being a bit too critical, but I'd rather watch Blood† then watch a debate. Or take part in one.
No one cares when you form a debating team and take it to Channel 5, the president or prime minister won't watch it. And even if they do, they won't bother implementing your iFeas and all, because..never mind.
Take me for example. I posted that haircut article, and guys who read it still wants to leave their hair long. Face it--no one's going to change anything just for a few minutes of heated argument you have with someone else, and that's why I won't bother trying to sway your opinion on most things. Because if that's your take on the matter, that's that. I won't bother changing it as long as it doesn't hurt me.
Oh and one more thing--their advertisement. They mentioned something about 'It's not just a debate. It's a performance.' I really don't see a point in watching such a performance, because if it really is a performance, most things would probably be planned already. If the winner is already decided, then there's no point watching the saliva-spitting fiasco. It'd be the same as the WWE, or whatever it's called now. It's just senseless, because the winner is already decided, and the people getting 'thrashed' are just sidekicks. And they had the gladiator-like superfluous bullshitty outfits that pisses me off whenever I see that eyesore on TV mobile on 88. Or 156. Or any bus with TV. Seriously, I don't know why but they are like trying to cheapen the entire thing. Not that it had much of a value in the first place, but still, I don't think a negative value has any aesthetic appeal.
It's not a debate if it's a performance, and that alone would stop me from watching the show.
Time to go liao. Show started, 7minutes ago. I think I'd blog again when I'm done with watching all 50episodes. I'm only at...33?
