On ego, TDVC + Today's photos
- Here's a funny one; I placed the link to this blog in my MSN personal message. And when I comment in other people's blog, I write irectify.blogspot after 'cheers, Putra'. I don't even know why I write cheers as a salutation remarks. I mean, seriously, wtf does 'cheers' mean? Is it the thing you do when you go to the pub and pretend like you had 2 jugs even though you only had half a cup, and scream loudly: "CHEERS, MATE(s)". Anyway, so yeah, why do I bother to write irectify.blogspot at the end of all my digital posts and entry? Because I'm such a narcisstic bastard? Because I'm bored, don't have anything to do, and thus you assume me as the man who doesn't have a life and have too much time on his hands? No, NO.
Here's why. I can't resist the urge to pull you in to read this.. blog. This blog is so shitty, so uber-lame in content and so.. boring. I mean, wall of text EVERYWHAEREE. That's so not cool. What? No youtube videos here?! AND NO PICTURES OF ME FLASHING MY BOOBS? omgomgomg.
This page is the anti-useful, the anti-benefit. It's the black hole of all that is golden in mankind. I am the death of art. The kistch master, the..
And I just wasted 60 seconds of your life by making you read all that crap. I love the internet.
- Seriously, on the topic of the last point. Why would I bother to put up the link to my blog everywhere I go on the internet? Maybe it's because of that hungry-ego thing that everyone seem to have nowadays. It's creating a subliminal impulse that forces me to promote and promote and advertise.. until someone like you are reading what I'm writing here. Ego is a powerful thing, more akin to a monster than a concept. It's what makes people log in to Friendster, Myspace, Blogger and Deviantart everyday, or everytime they have the chance. This is so they can upload their personality to the internet, to present themselves to the world. Or to read all the new messages, testimonials and comments. Ya just HAD TO KNOW what everyone else think of your new blog entry, your re-decorated sugar-youtube-imageheavy-coated Friendster profile, your new photos of the Sydney Harbor slash Yarra River bridge or downtown Melbourne taken using a brand new flash apparatus with an SLR, or even, the witty, oh so witty quote that you put as a caption underneath your primary Myspace-slash-Friendster photo to show that you have read that book that everyone else must have read by now: The Da Vinci Code.
- Speaking of The Da Vinci Code, I just realized how.. average it is. Writing and plot wise. I guess I was drawn by all the conspiracy theories that this book claimed to have. I first heard about the book when I was in.. year 10. Well, I was in a meeting with my filmmaking friends, and this guy told me that The Da Vinci Code is 'Da Bomb'. Because it has Opus Dei, Knights Templar, Mary Magdalene, and all those stuff that made the Conspiracy Theorist inside me extremely turned on. You see, I was a bit of a conspiracy nut back in high school (not so much now). 'Duh, obvious?!' statement aside, it wasn't until when I was in year 12 that I picked up my copy of Da Da Vinci Code. I was hooked. Couldn't stop reading. Bought it at a Friday evening, read it on the weekend, and came to school on Monday just in time to say: "Holy shit, Da vinci code keren abis!".
- Fast forward to 2007. After years of wikisurfing, I found out that most of the stuff in Da Vinci code are fabricated facts. Like the Opus Dei, the story of the Knight Templar, the priory of Sion, and, I don't know, most of the facts mentioned as 'facts' in the book aren't true. The primary source of reference by Dan Brown was the book Holy Blood, Holy Grail. Fiction. Legend of the Knight Templar, fabricated by the Church. The Priory of Sion. Fiction. I guess what got so many people into this story is how 'catchy' it is. The premise of the story is simple, Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene, who started a royal line that culminates in the birth of, the main character herself. Yawn. But people were all shocked and would say amongst themselves: "omg, is it true?". You know what this look like? That some actually have doubts over their religion. If they have a strong faith, they would stay away from the movie and the book right? Wrong. Top of the chart for weeks and even months for the book. Fancy schmancy. Moving on..
- So I went to the campus today to look at the girls. The what? No, never mind. So I went to Uni today to finish my assignment, which is almost finished by the way, and to take some photographs. I like this one, it's a statue in front of Baileu Library.
The statuettesitting in front of her is pretty hot too has a great..shape. Hmm. Hey, here's another photo.
I always had this thing for poster pole. Maybe because one of the best movie scenes I have ever seen is the 'awakening' scene from 28 Days Later. The one when Jim woke up from a coma and seeing London in ruins. The writings and missing signs at this huge pole was vividly scary. As for this photo, I don't know. It looks cool. Kind of.
This has been a long and droning entry. Should I go? Naaaaaaaaaah.
Yeah, I should go.
Cheers,
Putra (dammit, I'm doing it again!)
