I just realised the last couple times I visited the "create blog" page I used it to decipher the crappily formatted emails I receive from university. Above is one such example.
Anyway, what is up with me and blogging lately? I don't know, I guess I just don't see it as an integral part of my life haha. I do have random places where I write down stuff I've done lately etc, but I dislike the idea of putting that kind of stuff on the internet. I guess Dad has affected the way I think more than I thought =p
Nevertheless, why not regive it a try. New blog promise, I won't post twice a week, or once a week, or maybe even once a month. But every time I do write something I will endeavour that it contains some actual food for thought, and effort on my part. =] Should have said that to start out shouldn't I haha...I'd much rather quality over quantity.
Spoiler alert: if you have not seen Inception you may not understand/want to read this bit.
So recently I saw Inception. And I wanna skip to the end of the movie. You remember that rageworthy ending that made people jump up and go "WTF DAMMIT TELL ME HOW IT ENDS" ? Ok well I almost did that =.= Anyway I was thinking about it and, well, experiment: Loop that video for like 20min, and see how long people will watch it. I mean, apart from the lolful prolonged almost-climax feeling, that kind of reaction happens alot in real life doesn't it?
Like...unless you literally KNOW the thing fell over, there is always the chance that it will never fall over. And if it has not fallen over yet, then both outcomes are still equally valid. So, while the top is still spinning, it gives you this hope that the ending is happy, and not bittersweet like we know it probably is. This hope is precisely why the joke of dragging out that scene for a retarded amount of time works at all.
In real life, you can kind of see people dragging hope out for inane amounts of time. Like that mega long crush some people have that amount to nothing, or trying to get things to go back to how they were 'back then', or hoping that your marks will magically improve without you studying =p
Iuno if this makes alot of sense...but ye I thought it was an interesting observation at the time =]
Side note: Download/youtube the track "Mind Heist" from Inception trailer. It makes me feel epic. Viv says it makes her want to rule the world from her toilet.
I think I will end here, just because I need to sleep and whatnot. I hope reading this was worth your time ^^ Until next time =]

Oscar wilde is kool. So is hans zimmer.
Hi steve, I wonder if you know that I've been secretly stalking your blog since...before I met you?? I know that sounds creepy, but I was going through Viv's blog list and you left a lasting impression because you have good taste in music.
Hope that's not creepy or anything. Ok, it probably is but don't judge me from that!
I like your epiphany concerning inception. Hope is important, but can be disappointing some times. It's so sad! :(
Alice hehehehehe
