This isn't the end

Blogging has changed
It's no longer about original content, user interaction, and epic win
It's an endless series of reposts, perpetuated by frauds and failure
Conformity - and its consumption of blogging - has become an unstoppable cancer.
Blogging has changed

This is my final message. This blog must die, to erase the meme.

Gone fishin'...
Forever...



LOL JUST KIDDING

Nah, this blog isn't going to die just yet, though you have to agree that blogging has become mainstream now. I don't think that it used to have the same mystique as before. Anyway, I'm off on a trip with my DR friends to Anna Bay. A few days of relaxation after the exams and before the dreaded clinicals. I'm bringing a camera this time, so expect a few pics here and more on FB.

And now, please ignore the intro I've written. I'm busy with organising and packing for the trip, so I whipped it up with the good old "copy, paste, edit" technique and as a result is pretty shit.

Everything is Everything

OMG! It's the ultimate bear fight. Check it out!

Youtube prevents me from embedding it, but it's basically a fight between two grizzly bears. It was filmed in the wild by this couple who were sadly killed by grizzlies in Alaska in 2003.

My musical tastes float around alot. I don't like any particular genre and if the song sounds good to me, then it's added to my playlist.



Just an example of a song that I really like: "Shine" by Alcorus. A remixed form of it appears in a trailer for Mirror's Edge, an upcoming PC game. But the original is pretty close and its like pure emotion. Everytime I hear this song, I just think of blue skies, with some white clouds and green fields, like pure colours. You might laugh, but it keeps me going during the exam week I have. Just finish a particularly nasty one, not as bad as Jimmy's accounting exam though. I have exam tomorrow at 9AM. 9AM! If it was in the afternoon, then I'd have a few more hours to procras...I mean study.

THE ULTIMATE MARTIAL ART

...well against guys maybe.



Also, a hilarious dialogue about physics. Only on the internets.

omega> i like star trek because it's actually pretty realistic. the technology is fiction, but it follows real physics
kuiper> In Star Trek, whenever there are torpedoes or phaser fire hitting a ship, you can hear the explosions even though they're in space. How is that "real physics?"
omega> in space, explosions are actually louder
omega> because there is no air to get in the way
omega> dumbass

I may not be the most downloaded, but I've downloaded the most.

Exams are soon, soon enough to have me vaguely worried. So probably no posts for most of June. But then again nothing much to say. Its been revision week so far and getting some administrative stuff done in readiness for my next block of clinical.

So instead of 4 weeks holiday, I get 3 weeks and the first 5 weeks of semester 2 are devoted to clinical. So in all for semester 2 I have 7 weeks of uni and 2 units of study. Which is not that bad. And yeah end of year clinical is another 6 weeks as well.

Finished watching this anime series, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan. It's surprisingly good although it does drag a bit in the middle. Definitely a keeper.

Meh...prolly the shortest post ever. So have the greatest anime entrance ever.
