Sigh.

Hi. I'm stuck in the office at 1.30 am.

Why?

Because I went down to go home, when I found out that my car is missing.

I think it got towed.

FML.

So I was just sitting around and thinking...

(before we begin, just like to say that from now on I'll be copying some of my blogposts from red.fm over into this one if I think it's something that would belong here. like the one below. it will be labeled appropriately though. now, on with the show!)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I might be a lot of things, but I am one of those people who just doesn't get bored easily.

I never get it when people say that they do. It seems unbelievably ridiculous!

What are you? Trapped in a 4 walled cell that has cut you off from all forms of human contact and entertainment?

I enjoy playing video games. And in the last few months I have installed Dragon Age: Origins. I'm waiting to complete Mass Effect, then move on to the newly released Mass Effect 2 - and that's JUST on my PC. I still have an unwrapped copy of Uncharted 2 I've yet to touch for my PS3. I've only played 5 mins of Assassin's Creed 1 and when I get done with that, I'll get Assassin's Creed 2.

Oh god. That's just video games.

What about my TV shows? Entourage. The Wire. 24. Nip/Tuck. How I Met Your Mother. The Big Bang Theory. Glee. SO MANY SHOWS I AM ALL MINDBLOWN!

Then what about music? Comics? Movies? Books? Random flash games you can play online?

It never ends.

And if you're sick and tired of the indoors type activity, how about going out for a change? Go fly a kite? White water rafting? Scuba diving? A trip to the museum? Just a walk about in the city?

So many things.

And yet I still constantly hear about people being bored.

Dude, you're not bored. You're just boring.

Rrawwwr.

We've got a national flower, a national song, a national something-or-another-for-every-other-thing.

But at the rate things are going, we may not have a nation left.

The world would be a nicer place if people watched more cute kitten videos:

Mo' Money, Mo' Problems.

Spending money just only leads to more money spending. It's a cycle of wallet slaying that will never end.

Case in point:
I recently got myself a new laptop. It's all nice and shiny, and works like a dream. But then I think to myself, my laptop is new. I need to protect it. Make sure it gets the best care possible.

First, I get a cooling pad, which is a rational buy. I wouldn't want my laptop over-heating on me. So I pick one I think will be the best suited for my laptop (which always end up to be the not so cheap ones). Then I think, well, if I wanna game with my laptop, I don't wanna break my laptop keyboard. So I go get a wireless keyboard and mouse. Then I think of how I need to care for my laptop better. So I start thinking of better, sturdier laptop bags, getting a proper cleaning kit to clean the smudges and the list just goes on.

I knew I had a problem when I considered spending RM150 on a keyboard protector for my laptop. That's RM150 for a piece of rubber/silicon/mythril/dragonbone/NOTHING IS WORTH THAT MUCH FOR A KEYBOARD PROTECTOR.

Sigh.

The more you spend for an item, you better be ready to spend more ON it.

Doesn't matter if it's a new car, a new house, a new pet...

Moral of the story?

I dunno. Self control is important? Know the difference between what you want and what you need?

Whatever it is, I just hope somebody gets me that RM150 keyboard case/protector thing for Christmas.

The New Laptop Blues

T'was an auspicious day,
For Jeremy could finally say,
"I've got my new laptop! Hooray!"

So he took it out of it's box,
Gentle as you'd put on a baby's socks,
As he thought,
"Gotta make sure I download Firefox"

It was sleek and black,
Said "VAIO" on it's back,
And if it were a girl,
Definitely great in the sack.

He moved everything to his table,
And plugged in it's cable,
Turned the power on,
Getting ready for some porn.

But tragedy struck!
The fan on the laptop sucked.
A manufacturing defect -
And Jeremy was sh*t outta luck.

So to fix it he went to Sony,
Where he told them his story,
Only they looked at him funny,
"Call us Friday. That's all we can do - sorry"

Now Jeremy sits,
Feeling like the pits.
Waiting for his laptop,
And whining til' people yell at him "STOP!"

~~~

Sucks when your laptop is broken. Sucks more when you've had it for less than 24 hours.
