Rust in peace

Brother will kill brother
Spilling blood across the land
Killing for religion
Something I don't understand

Fools like me, who cross the sea
And come to foreign lands
Ask the sheep, for their beliefs
Do you kill on God's command?

A country that's divided
Surely will not stand
My past erased, no more disgrace
No foolish naive stand

The end is near, it's crystal clear
Part of the master plan
Don't look now to Israel
It might be your homeland

ACOUSTIC SOLO/INTERLUDE - FRIEDMAN

Upon my podium, as the
Know it all scholar
Down in my seat of judgement
Gavel's bang, uphold the law
Up on my soapbox, a leader
Out to change the world
Down in my pulpit as the holier
Than-thou-could-be-messenger of God

Wage the war on organized crime
Sneak attacks, repel down the rocks
Behind the lines
Some people risk to employ me
Some people live to destroy me
Either way they die. they die

SOLO - FRIEDMAN

They killed my wife and my baby,
With hopes to enslave me
First mistake... last mistake
Paid by the alliance, to slay all the giants
Next mistake... no more mistakes!

SOLO - MUSTAINE

Fill the cracks in, with judicial granite
Because I don't say it, don't mean I ain't
Thinkin' it.
Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away
I know what I said, now I must scream of the overdose
And the lack of mercy killings.
Mercy killings.
next thing you know
they'll take my thoughts away


Holy Wars - Megadeth

For some reason, when i try to play anything by Beneath The Massacre on my iPod, it hangs. Must be too brutally mind blowing. Take that apple :P

Decrescendo

I never really liked ultimate Frisbee much, till they started playing it everyday after school/in class. Frisbee > Soccer x10

NAPFA is next week. 2.4 timing = 12.07. Oh well, i guess A is out of the question for 2.4. Go <12 pl0x.

I hate it when i read stuff that i posted just a month ago and realise how stupid i sound.







Hmm. You're different from the rest.

I wonder.

Atmosphere

Not that i wanna offend anyone, but this made me lol XD

Whitechapel recording new album? Sweet. If there is any album at all that i still like alot and haven't gotten bored of at all since i discovered it, it's whitechapels "debut" this is exile. Their sound is... different. There isn't really any other band that sounds like them at all. They're really something quite new. And crushingly amazing.

Can't freaking wait.

Wacken Open Air festival in Germany. Now this is where i REALLY wanna be. Like really. Camping in the outdoors, waking up to a day of live music from a million bands from all the millions of metal subgenres. Not to mention merch stands and other entertainment. When i'm old enough, when i'm old enough.

Metal anyone?

Goodness gracious me.

Now this is what i call a concert. What i'd do to be there. Or to play in such an epic venue.

One day, after army or something when i'm old enough, i'll go the wacken open air festival.

\m/

+100000000

Canon rock anyone? After giving up halfway around this time 2 years ago, lets see how i'd do now. I've been away from my electric for too long XD

I'm loving the laptop my dad brought back from the office. Sad that's he's gonna return it this weekend =/. I love computing in my own room.

Sucks that i talk about getting stuff, but never go about doing it. Like when i said at the end of sec 2 i'd get new pickups for my ibanez, and perhaps a new bridge. Or when i said i'd get more pedals at the start of sec 2, and didn't get shit except my metalcore till end of sec 3, when i finally got that podXT (which means i don't have to get anything else anymore, thank god).

And now my pod is squeaking and i still haven't sent it in. Gotta make sure i do it before ignite.

Hillsong is old. Lincoln Brewster/Starfield ftw!

What am i doing, blogging? I blog too often. Way too often. Oh well i guess there's nothing wrong with that right? K e-learning stuff here i come! Moodle takes 20 mins to freaking load every page. Moodle sucks.

"There's no other place that i'd rather be, than in the arms, the arms of my savior."

Undeserving.

Well, so much for the improvement. I'm sorry if i disappoint.

I guess it's just wrong for anyone to expect anything good to come out of me.

I shall not go on.

Epic

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

not-learning day

Last night, for the first time in a long long time, i had a dream.

It was a good dream. This is why i don't like dreaming, cause when it's a good dream, you wish it wasn't a dream. At least i never get bad dreams.

I disgust me.

---------------------------

Moodle is down on e learning day. What a fail. Niceonelah SJI.

I'm amazed at the efficiency of SJI people. In half an hour after everyone realised the moodle server crashed, people have created facebook groups like "the day SJI Server crashed and we should have just gone to school." and "YAY MOODLE CRASHED!"

Raphael Julian Sohee Lee quote of the day is 'Oops! Internet Explorer could not connect to portal.sji.edu.sg'

The parable of the lost son

11Jesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons.

12The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them.

13"Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living.

14After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need.

15So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.

16He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.

17"When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death!

18I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.

19I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men.'

20So he got up and went to his father. "But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

21"The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.[a]'

22"But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.

23Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate.

24For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate.

25"Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing.

26So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on.

27'Your brother has come,' he replied, 'and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.'

28"The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him.

29But he answered his father, 'Look! All these years I've been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.

30But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!'

31" 'My son,' the father said, 'you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' "

Scuppernong (that's a funny word)

My com just spoilt the night before elearning day. Epic win. Good thing my dad brought home this extra laptop from his house! Laptops are awesome. I love it when i can use the com from the comfort of my own room, or on my own bed, which i shall do later.



I was just about to do some elearning stuff now so i don't have to do it tomorrow, but the slacker in me doesn't want to. Though i might. But what if it gets messed up and the school doesn't receive it. After all every assignment has a certain time frame, according to the time table they gave us. Better not mess things up XD

Anyway, starfield +10000000000000000000000000000

OHOHOHOHOHOH SAW THE VIDEO OF JOSH SINGING ON FACEBOOK GO CHECK IT OUT. MIND BLOWN. JOSH IS SO THE NEXT SINGAPORE IDOL. (Though singapore idol sucks anyway :P)

(A?)symptomatic

Enrichment day today. The activity itself was pretty much a waste of time, but as usual, we made our own fun. And frisbee after school is nice too. XD

-----------------------

Hmm. I guess what i've heard is true. And i've learned.

Never expect too much from anyone, cause people always disappoint.

Of course, applying what i've learnt is a whole different story.

abcdefghijklmnopqrSHIT

Hmm. 23 days of march, and 32 posts this month. That means i blog quite alot. Hmm. Well nothing wrong with that XD.

Got all my results back today. So so. Could be better but i guess it's good enough for now.

TA1 RESULTS

English - B4 (61%)
Full History - A1 (83%)
SS Lit - A2 (72%) : Elect lit 72%, SS 72%
E Math - D7 (45%)
A Math - A1 (75%)
Physics - B4 (61%)
Chemistry - C6 (51%)
华文 - E8 (42%)

L1R5 - 18
Avg - 61%
Class position - 18/30

I really do think that i'm much more of a humanities person. Gotta buck up on my sciences though.

I ONLY GET E8 FOR CHINESE CAUSE I DIDN'T GO FOR THE ORAL EXAM.

Stupid right, some of us forgot to go the first time, then the teacher didn't let us take anymore. (Actually we were given another chance to go but didn't take it :P)

BUTBUTBUT i passed EVERY SINGLE TEST this term so if i had gone for oral i would have gotten a C6/C5. Which is a super improvement over last year, where i failed every single test badly.

Tomorrow is enrichment day! And friday is e learning. This week is good.

What a great idea

I realise that i'm beginning to type my posts in sort of a point form. So i shall try to write a "proper" post. Yep. Anyway, where shall i begin. Oh right. FML. D7 for E math >.< Though i got A2 for A math. Suck. Chem also got some shit. Oh well. Mug harder this term i guess :D.

FMLx2. Almost all my holiday homework is undone. And i either haven't received it or lost it. Or i can't do it. Ugh FMLFMLFMLFMLFMLFML. Tomorrow i epic die.

FMLx3. Tio ptm. Form tutors are some epic bias la. Grr.

On the other hand:

Hmm. MLIA. Hung never fails to amuse.

I took a nap just now. 40 min nap. Just saying.

I'm just blogging now for the sake of blogging.

9x - 7i > 3(3x-7u) Solve for i.

According to friend, i'm supposed to end up with i < 3u (wts)

kk watch my epic math skillzz. Here goes!

9x - 7i > 3(3x-7u)
9x - 7i > 9x - 21u
-7i > -21u
7i < 21u (um. right?)
i < 3u

Woot. (Damn i'm lame)

K sleep nao. BAI.



Gotta love the musical dog :D

point

UH. OKAY THIS IS GETTING A BIT TOO MUCH. At first it was tolerable but now, i'm getting annoyed. I think i'm really weird though. I'm seeing all of this from a totally different angle.

A1 FOR FULL HISTORY FTW. Though topping the class with 2 other people doesn't make me feel as big as i should :P

Is my hiding place good enough? Or have you all found everything?

(Disturbing, is it not?)

Para(dog)xical

OH NO THE SHORT BREAK IS OVER. And there's no June holidays to look forward to cause it's gonna be mega mugging all the way =/

OH DECEMBERR.

hmmiwonderwhereeveryonewent. It was more fun with them around. Oh well, things are changing, i guess but i guess i like the way things were before a lot more. Before the old made way for the new. Perhaps, it's not wise to long for the "good old days", but i can't help it.

All this while i've been hoping(kinda) for this. But come to think of it, even if i got it, so what? Not like it'll make a difference. I'll set my mind to what's really important.

!

WOW was tiring, but awesome nonetheless. Both worship and the conference itself. It was just amazing watching what God can do.

HOLIDAYS ARE OVER :( Well, i think i can say i spent my holiday well. It was a good short break. BACK2MUGGING. (awsum)

"As I wait, you make me strong
As I long, draw me to your arms
As I stand and sing your praise
You come, you come and you fill this place"

In too good a mood to talk about shit

Relief

Went to watch To Kill A Mockingbird. The play. It was pretty good, definitely worth the money. They cut off alot of parts from the book but that was expected. Though it's funny how they couldn't find a black man to play Tom Robinson. And Mrs Dubose was played by a malay guy. Other than that it's fine XD

You know, i think personal worship time is really awesome. Just me and my guitar, singing to God in my room at 1am in the morning. Just saying.

It's really amazing how God always speaks to me at the right time. It's good to know that i've got nothing to worry about.

:D

3) sometimes i think i am so ugly that even my blind uncle is scared of me. he pretends that i am growing prettier each day but i can tell that he wants me to lose weight
4) i think i should really lose weight right now the only thing my mother lets me wear is a potato sack
5) i may be fat but AT LEAST, AT LEAST i can spell tomato
6) i feel such a reject at times when i sit in the bus, there may be two seats but everyday no one wants to sit beside me. am i really that fat ? do i not deserve respect ?
please stop judging me sometimes dont you wish that you can eat as much as you want but still not grow fat ??
please someone help me even right now i am eating a bag cheezels of BBQ cheese

HELP ME !!

Through the glass

"Stone Sour's clever new video for the radio hit "Through Glass" takes a super-ironic dig at all things plastic and transparent in the not-so-mythical land of 'Hollowood' "

Wikipedia:

The song was originally inspired by front man Corey Taylor's outrage at the music industry and how he felt that the musical revolution had never taken place.

Taylor was quoted as having said:

“

I remember exactly where I was. It was 2004 and I was on tour with Slipknot . I was sitting in a European hotel room watching a music video channel, seeing act after act after act of this insane, innocuous, plastic music. They were plastic, bubbly, gossamer-thin groups where it was really more about the clothes they wore and the length of their cheekbones than it was about the content of the song they were singing. It really made me mad. I was like, is this it? Have we just gone full circle? Did the singer/songwriter revolution never happen? Is it just the same drivel from the same replicate over and over again? 'Through Glass' is really a very angry song. It's me basically calling 'bullshit' on pretty much everyone involved with the 'American Idol'-type shows. It has its place, but when you're basically cornering the market and making it very hard for anyone who actually writes their own music to get ahead, then it's wrong and that's really why I wrote this song..

”

Hide

To think, that even at this stage, i'm still trying to deny this. It's already so clear, i can't run from the truth. That i told myself i'd never let myself get sucked in like everyone else. But then it can't be intentionally avoided. Either that or my mind is just weak. But it's not supposed to be bad. Why deny, nothing's wrong anyway.

I'll embrace this, yet i'll hide this. Safe inside my head, where no one will ever see. Unless they already have. I need someone to hear, but i want no one to know.

I hope no one knows what i'm talking about.

Then why am i even posting here? I'm such a dumbass.

OH WELL.

(Sqeaking POD XT live is gonna be the death of me)

But i know,

I present to you, Marcus. This is what he gets for refusing to send me the rest of todays pictures. AT LEAST I DIDN'T PUT IT ON FACEBOOK.




Cute.


I really like this pic. I think my phone can take better night pictures. Compare with the one in the previous post. XD Cybershot ftw?


Why's this upside down? Oh well.


I told myself i'm not gonna let myself waste away my holidays at home doing nothing. Which meant going out everyday. So far so good, it's been fun. And i think it's gonna be this way. It's a short break, i'm gonna make good use of every bit of it :)

Yep, i gotta make the best use of this time.

A walk in the park.

Went for a "walk in the park" last night. Gotta love night time. The cool weather and people-less atmosphere really gets to me. From just walking along the long stretch of canal way over at the other end of the park, to sitting around at some empty playgrounds under hdb flats, i really do think it's these times where you just walk and talk with a friend for hours with no aim in mind, that i actually get more from, than say, biking with a big group at east coast park.

Taking a walk alone at night is something i'm definitely gonna try.

You (everyone) don't seem troubled at all. Are things like that normal? Is everyone in this kinda stuff nowadays? If so, maybe i'm just thinking too much. No, i just don't like things like that. They're so, so superficial.

I shall take the night off to consolidate my thoughts.

Burden (And so it was good)

Note to self: Wipe smile off face. You don't deserve it.

Awaken The Dreamers

Finally went to HMV! Got this album. Read online that it that band is really good, since i couldn't find anything else i wanted, thought might as well check this band out. I don't regret it one bit. I think i've found a new favourite band :D Actually buying an album that you like gives you a really good feeling. I don't think i'd feel half as good if i had downloaded this album.

There's something about bands that write about social commentary and politics, even stuff like nihilism that i really like. No heroics, no escapism, no sappy love songs or angst-ridden stuff. People tell me metal lyrics have no meaning. I really think it's quite the opposite. Maybe i'm wrong, but the stuff i hear on mtv is disgusting. Now those songs have no meaning. Like "Somebody call 911, shawty fire burning on the dance floor"? "If you've got the boom boom pow, shake that booty right now"? People listen to that, then tell me my music is meaningless. Is that the kind of stuff people listen to these days? Am i just a really weird guy that's out of place, or is everyone losing their minds?

I really do think metal lyrics are alot more meaningful than alot of the stuff that's popular now. If people actually bothered to look into it, instead of dismissing the genre as "meaningless, mindless noise made by indecent, talentless people". These bands don't write make believe love fantasies, crushes and lust songs, or catchy party songs. No sex, no angst, no high school drama. These people actually write about real stuff that's happening.

I once showed a bit of one songs lyrics to a friend. The response i got, "I bet they don't even know what they're writing." Oh come on. Do people really think that way? Are metalheads some kind of sub humans in the eyes of the world?

But why am i even writing stuff here like that? I'll probably get laughed at, or maybe no one even cares. I'm just a crazy fanboy defending my music. Yeah probably. By the way people see it, i'm a satanist.

Go ahead. I'm just a 16 year old kid that finds fault with everything in the world. No really, i think i am.

"This is my indictment of your beliefs"

An open window.

Ah yes, that's it.

Code switch

I think i've proven my point.

Hi

Hello people. I'm sick, i missed school today and i'm missing school tomorrow, and i'm bored. So i'm blogging for the sake of blogging. I always wanted to try just letting the thoughts flow freely through my head as i blog and just typing it here as they come. Then post it. But it never worked cause my brain lags. Oh well. Today was a pretty boring day. I woke up at don't know what time, ate breakfast, then sat in from of the com. I watched lots of youtube videos and read up on music and stuff, and i discovered some cool new bands. I can't wait to go to HMV after I recover. Then i watched tv. Alot of tv. I nearly fell asleep on the couch. Then i went back to the computer. Then i ate dinner. Then i watched somemore tv. Then i went back to the computer for awhile. Then i ate supper. Then i watched somemore tv.

Such is the life of a sick person who's common tests have just ended.

Stupid CCA whole day shit on monday. I really think combined-school activities are damn lame. No, i don't care about any CHIJ Toa Payoh girls. Sheesh. Whoever came up with the idea for a SJI-IJTP joint concert. W.T.F man.

Hey cool my thoughts are just flowing freely. Not much thoughts, but they're still thoughts. Oh shit my thoughts just stopped coming for awhile. Maybe if i stopped thinking of the fact that my thoughts were flowing freely, my thoughts will continue to keep flowing through my head instead of stopping and i'll be able to keep on typing here. Yep. Stop thinking. My eye hurts. There's something in my eye. I don't know how to get the thing out of my eye. How do you get stuff out of your eye? Are you supposed to rub it? That's what most people do, but it never works. Sometimes it does. But it makes your eye hurt more. My cough is pretty bad. I hope i recover by tomorrow though. At least my fever is down. But okay enough about my sickness.

I need to send my POD for servicing soon. That squeaking wah pedal is pissing the crap out of me. Gotta get it fixed before W.O.W. Wow i think this is one of my longest posts that's just words. Funny how my longest post that's just made up of words is just full of crap. Maybe that means that i'm just full of crap? When i try to put down serious stuff, it barely takes up a few lines. But i try to write out some crap and i get this shitload. hmm.

I got A2 for Amath! I totally wasn't expecting that, cause based on my calculations, even if i got every question that i did correct, the highest marks i could get is a 70% which is just on an A2. Well, i forget about method marks! Or maybe i just calculated wrongly. Tedd said I got B4 for physics. Bummer. I thought that physics paper was quite easy. Too bad. Physics, or any science, has never been my strong point. But history i must get A1. Or A2. Hopefully A1. History rocks wooo.

KTHXBAI

Irony man

Was just reading through some friends old blogs and archives and stuff. From like, 2008? Wow it's been 2 years already? I'm beginning to realise just how much everyone has changed from then. And how much things have changed from then. I'm feeling all nostalgic all of a sudden again. Just recalling some stuff worth remembering from the past 2 years or so

-Daily mass convos online with people i didn't even know.

-Going to joel's house almost everyday, when it was just next block(1min) away. 

-IGNITE 2008!

-Being addicted to maple with jun hao

-Maple breaking down, which caused me to actually begin to play guitar for more than halfanhour/week, and actually beginning to like it, not just cause i thought it was cool.

-Slowly "borrowing" all of joel's guitar stuff, one by one (I still have it all, more than a year later)

-Going to joels new house just for the drumset.

-The old, huge cg.

-Hating school (For reasons i don't understand why anymore)

-All the lame conflicts and drama and watching friends hate each other.

-Getting super bored during december hols

Okay fine these were all from sec2. Sec 2 was pretty eventful. Sec 3 could just be summed up in one short sentence: Worry less, not-a-care-in-the-world inconsiderate meaningless fun.

I wonder what 2010's gonna be? :)

Epic sh!t

http://youmakemetouchyourhandsforstupidreasons.ytmnd.com/   <--- LOL

Sick

You know i NEED to go to HMV soon. After common tests over. I need to buy another CD. Haha.

Falling sick in the middle for common tests for the freaking win/lose. Full history ftw.

Sandy balls

"Lady gaga has a penis"

HISTORY TMR. I'm pretty ready. History ftw. But what am i doing? I'm watching retarded videos and searching up soviet music. Soviet national anthem ftw.

You know, i think everyone should blog more. I'm bored. I find myself clicking on everyone's links every few minutes hoping something comes up. Stalker, I am. XD

Spark

"God, clear my mind of whatever and help me focus on my studies today."

And so, was it all worth it?

Hell yeah it was :)

I shall pretend last week never happened.

You make all things new.




Hallelujah.

On the other hand,

Learnt alot from the long talk at island creamery. I guess i could look at things from another perspective.

Hmm....:)

I think i'm glad this is all over.

You make all things new.

History ftw

Acoustic death metal.

One of my current favourite songs, it's a ballad of sorts.

"While firmly rooted in Scandinavian death metal, Opeth has consistently incorporated influence by progressive music, folk, blues rock and jazz into their usually-lengthy compositions. Many compositions include acoustic guitar interludes and strong dynamic shifts, as well as both growling and clean vocals." 

"Opeth's distinct sound mixes heavy metal with acoustic passages, while also incorporating elements of progressive metal and progressive rock. In his review of Blackwater Park, Allmusic's Eduardo Rivadavia wrote, "Tracks start and finish in seemingly arbitrary fashion, usually traversing ample musical terrain, including acoustic guitar and solo piano passages, ambient soundscapes, stoner rock grooves, and Eastern-tinged melodies—any of which are subject to savage punctuations of death metal fury at any given moment." "

It's pretty amazing. Opeth has always been one of my favourite bands, for their musical versatility and just pure talent. I love how they can sometimes seamlessly blend acoustic stuff and progressive death metal into the same song. Who said progressive death metal bands and acoustic guitars/piano doesn't go together? I love the acoustic stuff they do, how it creates such an eerie atmosphere sometimes. Lately it's getting me more into acoustic. If I could only learn the kind of chords they use.

Death metal/Progressive rock/Acoustic/Jazz/Whatever eerie sounding stuff ftw.

(Not to mention their heavy stuff KICKS ASS)

Full history ct on monday. BRING IT. (not)

I remember, once upon a time, i carried a burden inside.

Clearance

- SS is really confusing me. SIGH. One day i should really take the time to straighten out all my doubts. O's might be all the way in october, but it doesn't feel very long.SS ct tomorrow. I'm scared. OH WELL.

-You, thanks for being there when i needed someone to talk to. I'm quite surprised that of all people, you're the only person that i'm comfortable sharing things with. Thanks :)

-I can't stand you guys. The way you all are beginning to act makes me sick. Now i finally get what (they) meant when they were all fed up and complaining.Ever wondered why people have been leaving? Think about what you've been doing.

-Somehow, though i'm getting alot more now, nothing has been able to (permanently) fill the void. Don't you hate it when you feel really really empty?

-Do you remember? You broke your promise.

-I don't think i've got things quite sorted out yet. But i've realised enough to know what i should be doing.

-Maybe what you saw was just something else. It's something you're not gonna be seeing much anymore. So don't be fooled. I'm not done yet. This is something you'll never see again.

-I don't wanna have anything to do with this anymore. Watch me fade. If you all will even notice. I'll be like one of them. I think they actually like it.

-Yet i'm still looking. Where is everyone?

-Somethings tugging at me. I know what i need. I'm not going to get it. (Not anytime soon)

-Those few days changed my life. Those few days were the best (I wish those few days had never happened)

-I'm looking back, and i'm smiling. I'm looking back. It doesn't feel good.

-Take me back, slightly beyond the time. Not so long ago. I remember when all i cared about was having fun. I didn't have to care about other people. I don't wanna care about other people anymore. Since when did they come in?

Go ahead and speculate.

you've got the hands of a killer, just like me

go away world. Just for tonight. I wanna be alone. I just wanna think. Before i go to school again tomorrow and have fun and just forget everything.

Dear God, where are you?

Hypocrites. You're all hypocrites.

Brace.

 Thank goodness for these bunch of crazy people i see 5 days a week. Thank goodness i see them 5 days a week. How does one stay down when surrounded by joy?

But i'm just running away, i know. Cause i'm faced with the same shit the moment i get home. 

I really really hate you (Don't go)

No, no one did anything. It's just all these thoughts evolving in my head.

But i'm not gonna post any of that shit here anymore. It's lame. Maybe if i shut up from the very start, no one would know anything was going on at all. I'll just fade away slowly.

You guys don't need to know anything. I don't need anyone's concern. I just need somewhere to say all this stuff to. GTFO. Stop reading this blog. Please.
