• A love of a great mind and a great man

  Monday, March 31st, 2008

  I have a deep, deep love for Hunter S. Thompson.
  Wordsmith doesn’t even cover it. A ball of introspective humour mixed with a more than healthy dash of paranioa, obsession, fatalistic depression and a burning anger regarding the state of the human race - nobody else wrote like this. Nobody else could write like this.
  Whenever I [...]

• Too cool for school

  Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

  Sunglasses, to me, serve more than just the practical purpose of preventing me from being blinded by sunlight (especially whilst driving, hence the tinted yellow as opposed to black). They also act as a defence mechanism, providing me with a barrier between me and the world, the physical helps me step outside the throng and [...]

• Bring on the rain

  Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

  It was a bit of a lost day, really. The odd weather and tiredness (remnants of a hangover from Saturday night) had me in a funny mood, a bit short and snippy with the rest of the world. Cleaning the house and helping with dinner preparations had resulted in overexertion of my sore shoulder, and [...]

• “I steal from every movie ever made”

  Sunday, March 9th, 2008

  Just finished watching the first half of the Grindhouse set (collaboration between Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino), ‘Death Proof’ by Quentin Tarantino. Fucking brilliant. As much as I can’t handle gore and guts, Tarantino’s flicks have always been an exception to this for me - possibly because the violence is always spectacularly no-holds-barred, uncompromised and [...]

• Dear anonymous

  Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

  To the anonymous douchebag who just sent me an email courtesy of the contact form on this blog telling me that I’m an idiot for stating that humans are outside natural order, grow a pair of cojones and don’t hide behind the cloak of anonymity.
  As for why I think humans are outside natural order - [...]

• Emotional bandaid

  Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

  The older I get, the more I believe that mind has more control over body than we give it credit for. As a person who used to suffer from incredibly debilitating depression (when the world became too much, I’d become so withdrawn that I was almost catatonic and impossible to communicate with) and was ‘head-doctored’ [...]

• A race-related rant

  Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

  There is an issue that any non-Korean has to deal with upon arriving to Korea.
  Racism.
  “So what?” you say? Sure, you can find racism everywhere, and its certainly something that I’ve grown up with here in Australia, but Korea is, I think, interesting and quite different according to my experiences here.
  For instance, growing up in Australia, [...]

• Getting on in years

  Friday, November 2nd, 2007

  So, yesterday was my 25th birthday. Bleargh. Talk about old beyond my years, I swear I’ve skipped through my 20s and 30s and gone straight to 40 inside my head. Instead of going out and getting so intoxicated that I could set a burp alight, I spent the day cooking and with the following thoughts [...]

• What’s your name?

  Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

  “You are only a real family if you have the same surname.” Wrong. If a family wants the same surname, why don’t half of these families have the mother’s surname? It seems only women have names that are hard to spell, they aren’t attached to or they don’t like. Not men. Odd. And convenient.
  Women told [...]

• Front-seat terror

  Tuesday, September 4th, 2007

  I passed my hazard perception test last Monday, on 3 hours sleep and a score of 74%.
  I was SO SURE that I had failed, that when I got my score, my knees buckled and I had to hold onto the front counter not to fall over. Though, this may have had something to do with [...]
