monkeycrap's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the difference between dreams and accomplishments? desire. Hey sof great to hear from ya. Aw come on man, why'd u need to do sit-ups? Anyway shall start this entry with a question u always ask in ur diary. I wonder how many people actually read my blog? As in, really bother to go through every word of monkey crap i write. And also, i've been thinking, spending so much time on one entry, it soon becomes yesterday's news and fades into history. Kinda big waste of time, innit? Most of today was spent in a place that made it into the list of top 10 least places i would least like to revisit before i die. The band room. And as if sitting on my ass on a hard chair playing the f minor scale so many times over one might liken it to some gregorian holy continuous chant wasn't bad enough, my band buds had somehow, through the advancements in ESP, decided to skip band prac together. So i was lost as to who to eat lunch with, yup, more lost than i was at the fast section of 'william tell overture'. Decided to go with a group of people, of who one was mr.white haired stalker. By some freakish coincidence, one friend was talking about hair dyes and how black is different from blackcurrant. And white haired stalker happily decided to give us his analysis on how cheap black hair dye is these days. My goodness i couldn't stop laughing. You know, u can actually stop the stupid remarks and actually start using some of the stuff. And he went about gossiping about people, not knowing that me, the inventor of monkey crap himself, cannot be trusted to keep secrets, not when it comes to talking bout my good friends behind their back. Too bad then. If there's anything i've relearned today, its that gossiping about people sucks. Insulting them behind their backs, on your blog, makes for a better choice. After band, went to my grandaunt's condo for a swim. A SWIM, nut, not a torture session. Man i've not seen her since chinese new year. She keeps on harping on the fact that she's old, in our conversations. Looks like i've been taking yet another person for granted. Every time i see her, she gets older, but i make the very basic, yet very wrong assumption that it'll be like that all the time. But it won't, which is the reason why i'm glad i visited today. God bless her. Just watched this new series on TV, called 'without a trace'. It's by Jerry Bruckheimer, creator of CSI, Amazing Race and owner of Bruckheimer pictures. Today's episode in a nutshell: Arabian guy is mistreated at work, girlfriend will not marry him cos of his race. Went missing. Police look for him. Spent 3/4 of the episode searching for clues. He was with his friend, a terrorist, who'd planted a bomb at the hospital where his gf worked. Quarreled with friend and killed him in self defence. Didn't know what to do, couldn't trust anyone because he knows no one will believe an arabian. Called the hospital and informed them. Wanted for murder by police. Hospital found no bomb. Conscience got the better of him, and he went to the hospital with gun and set alarm off, tried to chase everyone out. Labelled as dangerous by police. Was held at gunpoint by senior officer. Kept repeating,'but u don't understand, there is a bomb!'Officer tries extremely hard to coax him to put gun down, to reassure him that he is being trusted. Finally he puts gun down. BOOM! Gets gunned down by a police sniper. Bomb found in basement. I was filled with exasperation after the show. How could this happen? And we've all experienced this kinda situation on a lower level. We try so hard to explain our situation, to prove that our consience is clear, to tell people that what we are doing is right, to show that our wrongdoings are actually a result of a miscarriage of justice where circumstances force us to do so. But the cold, hard truth is that no matter how hard we try, people believe in what they want to believe in. And sometimes we have no choice but to comply with these people, either because they are in authority, or because failure to comply will result in further problems. For example, in a disagreement, one may totally believe that one is in the right, and it could be so, but one decides to accept the opposing view for the sake of not continuing the disagreement. Must every disagreement end up with one party saying, 'Fine, fine, whatever man, you win.' instead of, like what nut suggests, 'There will be no conclusion so we should stop.' Yes, both instances are possible, but i certainly find myself using the former more often than the latter to end an argument or disagreement, simply because if i use the latter, some people will just go, 'But your conclusion is wrong!' Oh well. Ok shall stop my philosophical monkeycrapping here. Need sleep. Cheers. 12:02 a.m. - 2003-06-15 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
