My love for music, friends and any other stuff that inspires me are all painstakingly updated so please do drop by and feel free to leave me a note.

Renaissance Once More?
My mind is brewing some thoughts again after i spent 2 months of my life wrapped up in corporate mummy tape. Now i really sense the kind of shit you can get into when a yellow line forms around you, marking the comfort zone of yet another souless venture on mundane mother earth. Like how masamania.com puts it, mundane is something boring. It makes us afraid of our own shadow. We lose ourselves in trying to become something we are not, thinking that we ought to be special when all the fucking shit you get into starts covering you all up without you even knowing it. Yes..we are stuck in a layered cake somehow. Some of us may try (I'm still trying) to get away from the rat race.
Its thoughts like these that amalgamate into bigger issues such as the social effects that we either fail to see or refuse to see. Depression, impatient drivers, nutties on the streets, the poor getting poorer and the rich getting richer. Yes, more of us are beginning to think about such issues. I'm not getting these problems now. I just think of them happening to people around us. Its so rampant now i just can't look away as easy as i did. Relationships become thin, like the paper we sign on. People send emails instead of call you on the phone because they think you may sue them in court and they will need black and white. Work become inefficient, you become skeptical of people and they in turn feel the same about you.
Its sucks. But it seems like a real interesting reality TV show if you leave your physical self aside and enjoy the show from the sideline. However, mundane is boring. Who the hell watches the same fucking channel every single day out of 365 days?
Open source movement and social networking may become signs of another Renaissance. Consumerism may well be losing ground as a religion in time to come. These events put to light that people are searching for meaning in themselves and other people like you and I, rendering commercial interests secondary. With the internet, we express ourselves on a level never demonstrated before. Ironically, this Renaissance may well be supported by targeted advertising revenue but still, it gives everyone an equal chance of bringing something special to the mundane. Its death on the other hand may be brought about by the critical mass that will eventually make the special mundane once more. Still, the pursuit for meaning never ends. At times, I marvel at mother nature due to the fact that it is so strikingly similar to what we do in life. Everything is about balance. Only through balance will the Rebirth of Man be seen once more.
I'm trying to balance up things by learning some Feng Shui nowadays. I thought that i will never touch these sort of things but i've been shown some real good shit lately that actually made me become a superstitious slut. Thinking of Feng Shui, i feel proud to be a chinese. Never have i seen any other race which have come up with such comprehensive depth of knowledge in predicting practical living, wellness and fortune. Probably its because of work and business that made me so ban dang. Well, working full time (9 to 6 as a salary worker and then 8 to 11 as a self employed) has whole loads of pros and cons. Henry passed me a server worth 10 grands 4 years ago. It has 30 GB of Raid 5 diskspace and a backup power supply. More than good enough for my use. I've learnt shitloads of stuff from the engineers and sparked off so many ideas that i feel are fantastic to implement on our sites. On the other hand, i got to face my greatest fears, that is to become part of the Shenton Way commercial cult, throwing away most of my morals and ethics. I'm still trying to balance things up.
The internet is about building windows, not walls. I see my window now. Just that it has grills on it. Let me grab the chainsaw and we'll see what happens in a while. I'm hoping to see Renaissance once more.
FUCK those fucking bullcrap!!! I'm sick of being engaged in 6 degrees of sexual frustration.
I'm sorry, got to let off steam once in a while. Still trying to find balance. May the feng shui force be with me.
