its like asking for help, but only to be rejected. its like knowing that one word can bring you out from this mess, but the words refused to come out. and you slowly painfully die from begging to be saved. its like drowning in a pool of misery when you can be easily rescued but instead misery is slowly slowly being filled and as you kneel down and cry and plead for the saving hand, the hand inches away as you crawl towards it.

this is the best i can be. sorry i can't be who you want me to be

i dunno wot to say. dunno wot to say to my mom. dunno wot to say to everybody

ok get this, according to the US Conservative Church (ooops alanna you shouldn't be reading this if you are gonna get offended, its just a summary of news) and the spin doctors at focus on family, they declared that Spongebob and Muppets are pro-homosexuals and are trying to brainwash the kids. the video in question is actually an animated film to the tune of "We Are Family" (a song in 1979) a song that promotes tolerance.

The music video, which was created with the aim of promoting tolerance of others and featuring cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants, came under fire from Focus on the Family and several other US religious groups, who charge that the "pro-homosexual video" is an attempt to "brainwash" kids.

The DVD of the music video is set to be mailed out to US elementary schools along with educational lesson plans developed in collaboration with the Anti-Defamation League and a "tolerance pledge" that includes a mention of tolerance for different sexual identities. Barney, Clifford, Arthur, characters from Sesame Street and The Muppet Show, Bill Cosby, Diana Ross and Whoopi Goldberg also appear in the footage.

Meanwhile, Nile Rodgers, a veteran musician who co-wrote the song and produced the video said that he is shocked that some conservatives see his efforts as an effort to encourage homosexuality. He says that the video does not make any reference to homosexuality or any sexual orientation anywhere.

talk about warped views from the conservative christians community. Errrrrrrr ^&%$^Y#$%@#

note to self: be less self indulgent and be more sensitive to others.

i wanted to blog about my new unit but i found more interesting news. now if you take a peep over at amazon.com you would have noticed that the no.1 seller is the iPod Shuffle 1gb and no.2 is also the iPod shuffle 512mb and that no3, no.4 and no.6 are also iPod Shuffle accessories. now its amazing that the amazing creative muvo is at no.23

sim is just showing how terribly childish he is. speaking to CNA he said that that the iPod shuffle was "a big let-down" because it's "five generations older" than Creative's offerings and that "the whole industry will just laugh at it" because it's a "four-year-old product"? And didn't he say that the iPod shuffle is therefore "a non-starter to begin with"? Because it's funny, but based on Amazon's Early Adopter rankings, we're getting the distinct sense that the shufflePod isn't just starting, but starting strong-- and way stronger than Creative's own offerings, despite the fact that Creative's players are available right now, while the shufflePods are labeled "in stock soon" and "order now to get in line."

fuck you sim and your silly users using ur zen

i wanted to blog about something. but my mom jus totally spoiled my mood. i needed her to sew my new rank on. and i instructed her the way to do it. but she insisted that the cloth will fray and whatnot. but the fact is a gazillion trillion million billion people have always done it that way. i don't see what is her problem. so anyway i told her ok, lets try 1 rank using your way. when it was done, it looks obviously out of place, and i told her no that it has to be the way we were instructed to. and she was pissed at me for some strange reason. like i had a choice how i want my rank to be sewed.

i couldn't walk today. it was so scary. suddenly my leg just cramped up and it hurt quite bad. think it might have been because of the wieght of my bag yesterday. didn't know it would be that bad. its a bit better now. took some painkillers. think will stretch like how my physio therapist suggested.

anyway in other news, on the train yesterday, i saw this man using the creative zen with, guess what, a pair of ipod earphones. you know your company is going bankrupt when you have to literally give your player away at cost price (my friends bought it at 200 and sold it and bought an ipod mini) and people buy the original earphones of the leading brand to create an illusion that they are using the leading product.

pain pain

oh my goodness. the age old myth of stairway to heaven is a worship to satan is true. i was trying it out myself and guess what, its very scary.

Mike Thomas is a columnist with the Orlando Sentinel who has Switched. In the process of Switching, he has discovered what he thinks makes Apple's Macintosh such a great computer and the iPod such a huge success, simplicity. In a ode to simplicity called "Geeks aside, Apple is gospel of simplicity," Mr. Thomas not only urges people to Switch to Apple's simplicity, he also touched on such issues as the fear of simplicity that many in the IT-field have when it comes to Apple.

" I bought an Apple," he wrote. "'Wimp,' said a computer geek at work. I sensed the fear. You see, he makes his living from the Microsoft Industrial Complex."

According to Mr. Thomas, the level of complexity present in the world of Windows has resulted in a near-sub class of workers, geeks as he puts it, who must act as intermediaries for other folks to commune with their PCs, and that this sub class has grown in both size and importance.

"The entire national economy, in fact, depends on the incompetence of Microsoft," wrote Mr. Thomas. "If everyone switched to Apple, the unemployment rate would skyrocket and we would fall into a depression. The government would be forced to give away Microsoft-based computers to stimulate the economy."

The counter to all this, however, is simplicity, which Mr. Thomas hopes to spread. Like many Mac switchers and devotees before him, Mr. Thomas wants other folks to enjoy a computer that just works.

"I'm not spending any more of my life yelling in frustration at inanimate objects," he said.

Many of Mr. Thomas's themes and ideas have been touched on in the Mac Web and elsewhere for many years. His column, however, reaches a mainstream newspaper audience at a time when Apple's momentum is only growing. His lack of spite and interesting delivery of the ideas expressed could find a receptive audience.

haha just found that article very interesting. anyway that was courtesy of TMO

random pop by era's website shows that they spelled NICOLL highway as NICOLE highway muahaha.

hey folks, please go check out gift concepts! my buddies are creating very unique gifts for the v day at unbeatable prices. so please do support them!

its a weekend and i'm still home! haha. oh well. spent the morning cleaning the fish tank, actually looking at daddy cleaning the fish tank. had a very good conversation with dad. think i would go shopping for some fishes with dad later on. i am such a filial song. haha actually there's a hidden agenda. i'm trying to get dad to buy a car! no la not really.

had a very interesting conversation with a new mac buddy i met from alvin's friend tagboard. poor guy, we just flooded his tag with incessant chat about the mac. and we could go on forever really but still its someone else's tag and i just feel so bad. hrmm nothing much to say just that hrmm nothing much

lalala. worried for you raydance. call me soon yar =)

there you go.

if i could i would personally fuck the pope until his last breath. yes until he dies

"Today the family is often threatened by social and cultural pressures that tend to undermine its stability; but in some countries the family is also threatened by legislation which at times directly challenge its natural structure, which is and must necessarily be that of a union between a man and a woman founded on marriage." Family, he said, "must never be undermined by laws based on a narrow and unnatural vision of man."

that fighting gay marriages is a priority in 2005.

what on earth has gay marriage gotta with anything. as if if i can marry my boy therefore jasmine can't marry edwin. RIDICULOUS! i mean really its like saying we can't grow oranges in florida because that would undermine the durians in malaysia. like really, even if you go in depth into supply and demand which you wouldn't, it would still makes no sense. as if allowing gay marriages would somehow make straight guys gay and afraid of woman.

stop being homophobe just because back when the romans ruled, gays were not discriminated and your church power was undermined.

die pope. die. may 2005 be your last year on earth!

i shld learn to be more forgiving, but i realised that if others are not going to be forgiving, i am not going to, to that few people. but i suppose i could start by learning..... hrmmmm

$419 vs $268, people can tell me the iPod shuffle is so expensive as compared to creative. now lets see, 1gb for the ipod is 268, 1gb for the muvo is $419. oh well they failed their mathematics i suppose. but i dun see why everybody is against apple, probably because they can't get their hands on one and they're just jealous. like mr sim wong hoo. in 2004, 92% of mp3 players sold are apple ipods. in the world now, 62% of all mp3 players are apple, 6% are ipods wannabe including creative, and the rest are flash player. mr sim is just very sad. hahaha

anyway whatever, i get the good stuff. go cry your heart outs!

i've waited all night for this!!!! the new mac mini and ipod shuffle is out!!!!
