Prom Chicks

The chick in America requested for pics of chicks (and blokes) at prom. CW, never one to refuse a chick's request.


This one so Sam won't feel left out =D

Not a joke. But very funny anyway.

Nevermind.

Literature S

It's over. Thanks for not giving a damn.


Incidentally, lies and spurned love were the themes of the day.


Lies, spurned love, tragic marriages and alienation.


Anyway, byebye lit. I'm off to Tekong to lead an uncultured brute's life.

Where do we go from here?

Post As is a time for chucking and retrieving.

Leeches, pretenders, ugly acquaintances - out out out with the redundant old notes. It's time to give that old friend of yonder a long-delayed call. Say "I remember you.", "Do you still remember me?".

But why do we wait till we're almost forgotten before we come creeping back into their lives?


And there're the life-plans we have to draw now that we've lost our sole purpose of existence for the past ten years. Doctor, lawyer, director now replace Biology, GP, Economics. Stumble now and you end up a 9-5 ; a face in the crowd ; or just simply pwned.

I know what I want and where I'm going - which makes it worse if I don't get there.

Alice : Cheshire Puss, would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?

Cat : That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,

Alice : I don't much care where -

Cat : Then it doesn't matter which way you go,

Alice : - so long as I get somewhere,

Cat : Oh you're sure to do that, if you only walk long enough.

For now, though, let us dance.

Never.

Truth never hurts? Now that's a lie. Truth never hurts if you add alcohol, and a fatal dose of weed. And slit your wrist meanwhile, just to be sure. I wish I were American, then I can get totally wasted, Marissa Cooper style. Never ; Nil ; Zero ; Zilch - It's such an easy word to say. N-E-V-E-R. 2 syllables, 5 letters, type it out if you must. Murder hope.

Some things are forever. Others - never. So save everybody's time and say never ever.

There is no love in literature. Discuss.

"Are your parents retarded?"

"'Cos baby you're so special."

The Geeks Get The Girls

Curvalicious Math : Sketch me baby, sketch me please! Ohhh...


By the way, GL HF is not a mathematical equation.

Foetal Fantasies

Today, I sat opposite a pregnant woman on the bus...

Mrs. Preggers' Internal Monologue :
"Oh no, what if my son turns out like that bawling blonde brat terrorizing the passengers, sans the beautiful blonde hair? And think about those kids from MINDS we just passed - would any mother love them? Look, here comes a blind man. I doubt I'll love my child as much if he's to be born blind. Now check out that bald guy in front, wearing the ugly grey sackcloth. Nothing else matters, so long as my child doesn't in the least resemble him."

Aristotle

"Why do you question my thoughts, my beliefs, my purpose? I'm ten times smarter than two of you combined. If I could, I'd just talk to myself. But no, I stick around and keep those cancerous plebeian growths you call your minds entertained! I do this because I'm a bloody philosopher. And you're fuckin' sheep." ~ The Great CW

Justice

Today I read about justice. Is justice virtuous? Is the just man happy? Probably, if you're openly just and reap the rewards. Doesn't that mean that the injust man is as happy, if not happier, being un-openly injust? Come to think of it, there're so many things we can get away with, so long as they don't see the light of day. Who can resist the allure of perfect injustice? Law, you say? Law is when someone does you an injustice, and you duplicate the act and call it justice. If someone is killed, we kill someone else to make up for it. Blood will have blood. That's law.

Law is justice.

Denouement

There are certain things in life that we cannot live without trying ; certain facts that we cannot not know, or attempt to. I think Bowling For Soup's Almost sums it up nicely. Was it only curiosity that made Pandora open the box that released the plagues to the world? Often, we are Pandora, and until we open that box, we'll never know if it's a can of worms or a pot of gold. At least Pandora's box had hope hidden at the bottom to salvage the world.

Mine didn't.

Dishonesty Is The Best Policy

We live in an imperfect world and so everybody lies at least once in their miserable lives. That is because lying is the only route to happiness. Why? Consider this syllogism - One: the world is imperfect, two: we won't be truly happy without perfection - We'll have to lie to ourselves to be happy, and to others so they'll be happy. Quad erat demonstratum.

Sometimes I forget, and I tell the truth.
