masks

i know i should've been revising for psych.
but
i'm on a 'productive break' =]

we all wear masks whether we realise it or not. i just noticed that, no matter how close 2 people can be to each other, there's still this...entire cosmos hiding in our little heads.

its amazing.

psychology made me realise how...complicated our brain is.

but just ask yourself, what would happen if we have telepathy...

we won't communicate verbally
music is rendered useless
shared knowledge
no individuality

so i guess wearing a mask to hide ourselves is good.

it gives us individuality
we can appreciate arts and music
we have school (sadly)
and we can communicate verbally (or in some cases incoherent body language =P )

haha
im just going around in circles..
but
just need to put it out there =D
and
be 'productive'..



or not..

rant

ffs..
can someone seriously teach me how to play around with html?
whenever they're free..

cuz blogspot is pissing me off with their html-ness..

grr

spur of the moment

It’s 12 o’clock and I can’t sleep.

Why?

Because I’ve got all these ideas that keep popping up in my mind like crazy little firecrackers, so I’ve decided to blog all about it on impulse.

I will release a 5(if i can be bothered to) part series. This one is the first of the many that would come.

Pt.1.

Recently in politics (yes it’s a subject that I do for vce believe it or not) we have been discussing about the impacts of internationalism and globalisation (if you do not know these terms I suggest u ask Wikipedia =P).

I know that many of you would not find these topics as interesting to talk about as I do. However, these topics will, in the long run, impact everyone’s lives and the shape of the world we live in. (gosh that sounded like an introduction of an essay >_>)

And so i decided to rant away my keen interest on the contemporary society.

The concept of internationalism is like that of internet. In a sense, internationalism/globalisation would end up having everyone in the world connected to each other in some sort of way.

I have come to a realisation that we are heading towards some sort of Orwellian utopia – driven by greed.

Greed drives the world around.
Money drives the world around.

Capitalism is fuelled by short term gains (hence the financial crisis, THANK YOU AMERICA). Our possible future destination could be one of American hegemony (again) or god-knows-what. But one thing that I know is that we are heading towards some sort of ‘sheep behaviour’.

The contemporary society has lost its individuality.

We all start to think/want the same things in life (not that I’m saying similarity is bad). I know it’s quite hypocritical of me to say this, but it scares me how us young people generally think of things on the superficial level.

But then again, its an OPINION.

Feel free to criticize/support/comment/talk/wonder/reflect/whateverfloatsyourboat.

If it sounded tad odd, then, my editor-in-chief-in-grammar (aka ally dearest <3)>

Cheerios.

(yes i managed to write using big words at 12. dont ask me why..or how..)

russia on ice

came back from work..fkn tired
o wells

ermm
heres the preview of the new porcupine tree live album i bought?
its called warszawa

credits;

• Steven Wilson - lead vocals, guitars
• Richard Barbieri - keyboards
• Colin Edwin - bass
• Chris Maitland - drums, percussion, backing vocals

frankly speaking..i havnt actually listened to the studio version of most of the songs on it
but i love it.

the songs arent as 'spacey' as their older works. the bass is prominent, although i'd love to hear more of the keyboards. o wells.

imo gavin harrison is a better drummer. his fluid, effortless intricate drumming is just.. captivating.

i shud've listened to more of porcupine tree's studio albums..but o wells..

rating: 7.5/10



i cbf writing more..
im tired n i cant think properly..
(fob grammar - it took me AGES to even edit wat ive written and in the end..i deleted everything and left 3 lines...)




i shall try post more album reviews..





therefore; recommend them to me =]
