What’s the deal with everyone having a blogger page nowadays?
Actually, considering this is a blogger page itself, I guess I can’t talk.
I wish I have the time to write a decent blogging system (I’m sure I’m more than capable of doing it, knocking up a few cgi scripts), but I honestly can’t be bothered.
Maybe I should change the layout of it into something more original… Any suggestions?

Enough said.
It has been 2 and a half months, there have been many things I wanted to rant about, and I have written a number of half-written posts during that time. The problem is that I never seem to have enough time to finish writing them, and by writing them only up to half way, when I get back to it, I’m not as interested in writing about it anymore.
Not having time sucks.
It’s interesting how September 11 2004 is a non-event in the western world now (as far as I can see). It’s probably because of the increased skepticism from the world about American interests and the way that they have conducted themselves internationally over the last 3 years.
The invasion of Afganistan, invasion of Iraq, scuffles with the UN, North Korea etc…
It’s quite sad to see, but nobody really seems to care anymore. Just because the US government has behaved badly, does that mean the human victims of these tragedies deserve to be treated with such apathy? I think it’s something like how nobody seems to think or care about the German victims of World War 2.
Think about the Tiananmen Square “incident”. People in Hong Kong held candlelight vigils for many years after the unfolding of events. Oh well, maybe that’s because the people who died fought for a cause, while the victims of 9/11 were just unlucky to have gone to work early instead of sleeping in.
Which probably means I’ll never be a victim of a 9/11-type attack, because I’ll never wake up and get to work early enough.
I hate people who make up their minds about something and then reneging on their decision two to three nanoseconds after they’ve made it. I can say for myself that I’m not the type to rush on any important decisions in life, and yes I have heard complaints that I’m too wishy-washy (and I take too much time) when it comes to making decisions. The good thing about that is though, once I’ve made a decision, I will stick by that decision as long as the parameters surrounding the decision remain the same. This makes my decision trustworthy to the ears of people who knows of my decisions, because they’ll know that when I have reached a decision, I would have thought about it back to front already and so won’t change my mind in the future (all things given equal of course).
Girls are (yes I’m using a gross stereotype… bite me…) especially prone to this syndrome. It is no wonder why there are so many urban myths out there that says “no means yes” and “yes means no” when it comes to girls answering questions. Of course this is an exaggeration which does not hold true if you take it literally. However, you have to think why and how these myths are born. There must be a slight element of truth behind those statements.
I’ll offer my version of what a “yes” is. A “yes” means “yes, but this only applies for the next x days while in my current emotional state, and only while no one else has offered me another side of things to look at.”
The problem with that is, when a person of this category tells you that he/she has reached a decision about something, you don’t trust it. There was no information transferred to me through the “yes” or “no”, when in fact they’ll just change their mind in two days. I don’t care for any type of answer that belongs to the “yes, but as long as….” category. A yes is a yes, a no is a no.
What pisses me off even more is that there are actually people in this world who actually mean what they say, and there’s no way you can tell who they are, unless you know them enough and have seen them make decisions that they don’t back out of. There’s always this lingering suspicion, and it feels terrible when I have to stick someone into the “talking crap out of their ass” category, because I’ll have to scrutenize everything they say, instead of having an honest dialogue.
I’m sure everyone who reads this will agree with me that the world will be a better place when people mean what they say.
