2007I am 3 months overdue for a post. But hey, who's complaining? At least finally I have decided to engage myself in some fruitful literature after months of following orders. Contrary to popular belief, my brains remain intact as I continue to churn out thought-provoking insights that will leave you scratching your head. Thank god for that.
The other day I was out with my chums, who by the way again commented about my very non pro-active stance towards them, when we started talking about our most common subject.
National Service.
Horror.Disbelief.Uncomprehending
I.have.recently.noticed.this.vogue.of.writing.taglines.using.fullstops.as.if.fullstops.are.the.jokers.in.poker.cards.where.you.can.use.the.jokers.to.represent.any.card.you.might.be.missing.in.your.hand
I'm sorry did I just annoy you? You should look at thsi from my point of view. Did you know how many times i instinctively pressed the 'spacebar' just to type that sentence above?
ANYWAY, I digress.
Supposedly the fullstops are meant to link the three words together. Dont ask me how. They just do. While we were talking animatedly about NS, I felt a chilling image crawling insidiously into the back of my mind. Careful not to betray my outward serenity, I used every ounce of will to push it into the deep dark recesses of my mind.
Remember when we were in poly, we told ourselves we will not become boring NS boys who only talk about NS and proceed to bore women to tears. Sorry chums, we are one of THEM now. To quote the famous Gandalf the White, "We have become what we had swore to destroy."
SIGH
However, somethings never change. Like we would always never fail to go to a creative (notice the lack of a capital "C") booth when we visit IT shows.
And while we are on the topic of never changing...
FUCKING DISGRACEPicture says a thousands words and I have ranted about this too many goddamned times.
A million things to do and all I can think of is you. *wink
