:: Hacking Coughs ::
been coughin out my guts for the past couple of days. On the bright side it means two days of att C. woohoo...!!
my buddy and fellow downgradee just got posted out on Monday to some sch of ammo to become an ammo tech. Kind sucks cuz we were always tgr siam-ing saikang and medical centre visits and going for medicals. But looks like I'm gonna be posted out too. From SBAB to HQ RSAF. Kinda sucks since I've already made some good friends here and spent three months living, breathing, eating and sleeping (get your mind out of the gutter) with them. But i guess i don't really have a choice now do i? Again it's all about ups and downs. The good part about gettin posted out means that I'm getting an 8-5 stayout which is like a total blessing.

okay. It's time for some good old Bong Rantings.

First, someone has finally seen George W. Bush in his true form. Thumbs up to Hugo Chavez. And the fact that it drew a few giggles from the General Assem. prob means that the people there don't totally disagree with him. hrmm.. Can't wait for a response. The world is getting crazier. A military coup in Thailand. woah. That's the first time anything that big has happened so close to home before. Ah but as long as they don't take away their Tom Yum soup everything will be okay.

Science vs. Religion. Do we really know everything? The Greeks, who were a very intelligent society, thought that lightning and thunder were bolts throw down by Zeus. But of course we now know that it's merely a scientific phenomenon that is caused by charges being accumulated in clouds and then discharged to the ground which is of lower potential. Or is it? Could it be that we've got it all wrong? There are many things in this world that is yet unexplainable and still others that seem so easy to explain but we don't know why it happens. To me. It's just a matter of faith. Leave it to the big Man up there to call the shots. We're just here for the ride. Don't explain it. Embrace it.

Of loud music. i don't think that people like Marilyn Manson and co. should be blamed for putting bad ideas into people's heads. First and foremost, it's of choice that some kids like to listen to metal and screamos etc and it's also their choice whether they want to go on a gun-wielding rampage over at school. i heard of an experiment that some kids did in my school to try and prove that metal music makes people angry. They decided to start pumping some metal thru the school's PA system and see the reaction from the school's population. Before long, several teachers came down and started screaming(angrily) at them to turn off the music. They then came to the OBVIOUS conclusion that metal makes people angry.
but hang on a second. Let's think about it for a sec. If YOU were talking to a group of people and suddenly someone starts blasting Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony so loud that your neurons had trouble connecting, would you be pissed?
was that a yes? AHA! Thus from the data gathered, Beethoven was satanic and his music makes people kill each other. ... ... ... Get my drift?

One scientific fact that is undeniable though is that alcohol doesn't not make you James Bond-esque charming even if you take it shaken not stirred. All it does is disconnect your mind from your mouth and body and makes the room tilt to one side. It also makes a 7th hole appear out of nowhere on a standard pool table.

Will blogging take over traditional media and journalism. Nah. Don't think so. Obviously they could be used by journalists to broadcast up-to-the-minute news stories. But it's not practical cuz then surfers seeking news would have to sift thru tons of rubbishy blogs like iLOvEMyhOnEYbUnnY.blogspot.com and blog.tormentedsoulfromhell.com. Even then you'd get millions of journalist wanna-bes til you get to anything good. Blogs have the power to be used as worldwide broadcasting tools but for now they are just online diaries that are open to everyone. Which is funny cuz in the past everyone protected their diaries with locks and stuff to keep people OUT. hrmm. We'll leave that for another day.

Aaaah. Now i feel all better.
