[no title]

after weeks of neglect, and thanks to DK for reminding me that i still have a blog, here i am, ready to blog.

as you may have realized, most of my posts are pretty long, perhaps yawn-inducing, because i don't really talk about very random things. some of these things include stuff such as:

"i'm tired. going to sleep."

"what a shitty day. fuck."

one-liners and so on... you get the idea.

whenever i post, it usually contains stuff that i deem to have *some* interest - not to anyone in particular, just myself. it would often concern a recent issue in which i have several perspectives of my own to share. the issue could range from anything to everything - there's no "fixed" interest for me.

the point of blogging is to write something of interest and of sufficient value. that said, i would hardly blog for the sake of blogging, and i do know that people actually read my blog (as they reflect to me personally).

on top of that, there isn't anything major in my life right now that warrants a blog - i don't usually pen achievements or challenging situations, simply because i don't feel the need to. furthermore, life is pretty ok now except that it could do better with a job - that's my key gripe for this post, if you ask me.

plus, whenever i post, i would include it in my msn to state that there's a new post. saves the trouble of having to check all the time for updates.

and since blogger does not send notification emails to my friend list to tell them of a new post, which i know that multiply does, i thought that this is a subtle, non-intrusive way of telling people. the overt, bash-your-way through method of telling people is blasting.

anyone who has at least one email account knows of blasting. yeah - really irritating... a waste of bytes. blasted emails go into my deleted / junk folders anyway.

especially when you get blast / junk emails about the following:

1) there's a secret admirer in your neighborhood!
2) suffering from dysfunctional sex? click to get the latest drug!
3) you have won $100,000!
4) FWD: FWD: FWD: RE: RE: RE: RE: read this... touching.
5) FWD: FWD: FWD: RE: RE: RE: RE: Microsoft is giving out cash for beta-testers!

especially items 4 and 5. what kind of nonsense is circulating over the internet? bullshit!

for (4): the email usually ends with, "send this to as many people as you can! you must forward this email immediately to be blessed! if you send to 4 people, you will experience 1 blessing today, to 8 people, 2 blessings..." blah blah. *really*... i didn't know forwarding such emails will ensure me a blessing. the things people believe... or click... jeez.

for (5): the origin of this email is suspect. it dates back to 2005 or even earlier (WTF)? and people actually still forward it today and think they will get a fat cheque from Microsoft for beta-testing Windows XP???!!! it's VISTA already, dudes!

you know, all these kinds of emails just get more and more people to perpetuate false-truths and create junk emails, jamming up inboxes, devouring bandwidths and creating a whole world of BS.

i don't even know what to say anymore.
