Carnival of Rust

Right...the date on this blog is by the Islamic calender...i didn't change that setting...way to make me feel guilty about myself....
...not working.

anyways, to the more serious stuff...exams starting in a week. This was another fast semester. Fairly kept myself busy and occupied. Making money on the weekends and learning about making heat exchangers and distillation columns by overloaded and stressed out lecturers during the week.

The world on the other hand is getting dumber by the second. Last night I heard someone calling paris hilton a socialist...

fine...I'll take that one back...it was in the newspaper. Does that make it better or worse?..Journalism is fucked man. The media is a puppet of their sponsors and a shit load of paranoid freaks. You switch on the tv, it's like looking at shit making its way through...not very pretty indeed.

I'm not gonna dwell into emotional psychology..my house mate's sick...I really don't wana get it from him..fuckin hell...I wonder how much sickness he's spread around the house, the fucker doesn't even go anywhere, I can never fucking figure out where he gets it from...feable son of a bitch.
There is yet another anomaly around me. Have you seen the musicians in the post-grunge scene ?..they are like older bigger men, like their fans would be those fat bearded bear drinkers with metallica shirts with shitty jobs. Have you seen indie musicians on the other hand?..young baby faces. I feel younger when I feel to grunge. =S But I think i can probably explain it. Grunge is easier to process. Lesser complicated riffs and tunes. Dumb hard rock...makes you feel more naive and innocent, which is like feeling younger.
My habit of day dreaming is manifesting quite badly. I don't wana sound like J.D from scrubs or anything (I had that hair long before I started watching that show)..but yeah, I do imagine more, say less, narrate my life to myself...

I am rusting, to say the least. It's slow. It hurts...a little sometimes, alot most of the time.

Claustrophobia

right...I haven't made a decent blog entry in like more than 4 months now. Happy new year by the way, 2009 is here already. A year with probably the scariest forecasts and current affair tv shows. But there is still some hope. I mean come on, optimists still live around us with their small penises and ugly spouses.
 
What a small year has this been eh?...But i've got to admit, being a year of financial horse crap and concentrated terrorist propoganda, this year was a good thing for me. I passed two years of my engineering course and I got a job at IKEA..great success!...and yeah...I'm pushing myself into the web of consumerism faster than I thought.
 
Can't remember half of the shit I do most of the time these days...as I'm turning 20 in 2009, my brain cells have started to die slowly, including the fact that liquor has probably killed a few of those memory cells in the head anyway...Right now 2008 seems much shorter than the actual year of struggle, misery and depression that it must have been. The crappy manual jobs, the hardcore wanking and the slutty lab reports.....I spent this year degrading myself spiritually while learning to make the perfect spaghetti and figuring out how much mi goreng can make you get sick of it.
 
I always sit on new year's eve hoping for a miracle...then dissapointment hits me hard...and I rock on to some fan favourite beatles song and one or two average Indie rock albums. Well, looking on the bright side, I started reading books this year. This was mainly because of the free library service under my apartment complex. At the moent I'm reading 1984 by george orwell, slowly. Kurt Vonnegut is my ultimate hero and black comedy is the way to be. Dark satire of major global crisis is, in my opinion, a remarkable way to learn from it. I mean offcourse, sarcasm can sometimes be worth something and Kurt knows that. My two main new year's resolutions are to 1) start keeping a diary, a graphic journal, not too cheesy, of some sorts and 2) read more books...education is my most precious jewel and I am a very greedy selfish man so I want it all.
 
 
"Tiger got to hunt,
bird got to fly;
Man got to sit and wonder, 'Why, why, why?'
Tiger got to sleep,
bird got to land;
Man got to tell himself he understand."
- Kurt Vonnegut
(Cat's cradle 1963)

The Second Coming

Turning and turning in the widening gyre,
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

William Butler Yeats

...a hopeless romantic, with a dirty mind

hey guys, long time eh?

i am good, all's fine, i am a busy 2nd year engineering student with a casual job at IKEA now. yeaaa!...seriously...i work as a self serve co-worker. Some manual work and loads of customer service is all part of the game...and free coffee all day oo yeah

anywys....keeping it brief...i just want to take a moment and make a note here that i'm probably not the worst hypocrite ever...well a "hypocrite" i might seem to be...i consider myself a free thinker...inspired by the writings of the psychotic Kurt Vonnegut hahaha.
but come on, ive got some control...some shame, some moral values, some senstivity and an intermediate level of sophistication...i have seen and met people far worse than me....praying 5 times, or atleast telling every1 that, with this some what over confidence in their belief, with entire mental blocks to even consider other's ideas and thoughts, blind faith would be better words....sparking every consideration based on race and religion, being materialistic about a spiritual beilef...AND..yes and....on the other hand...uploading facebook pictures of getting drunk and making brown people look like idiotic horny sons of bitches....

So just in case one day i wake up fully depressed and on the verge of killing myself by falling out the balcony after smoking a nice small cigarette, some part of the cerebral hemisphere will remind me to read this dumb blog entry and then probably....i would change my mind.

the economy is going nutts and we are gonna witness one of the more important presidential elections soon...the fate of the world is going to be decided by a few million american voters..pakistan is fucked...seriously...what the hell....bitch isn't it?

anyways...just to sound a little bit politically aware, I added that sentence above,

did she have any idea what i was thinking when i saw her?...."you shimmer like a star....how beautiful you are?"

Power Out

today ws the final day of the world youth festival in sydney...millions of dollars spent and thousands of tourists/pilgrims exploring the city, dispersing waves of music, culture, peace and hope....the pope said some words, apologized for the pedophilic incdents in the church and other spiritual crap.
meanwhile, an average man like myself who had nothing to do with this, wondering why the fuck r ppl dying in palestine, went to the city fr a small job...and had to walk miles to get around the central station and find my hungry jacks to feed myself...while people wer cracking lame jokes about ppl farting in the bus, i was reading a book "the clash of fundamentalisms" sitting next to an indian guy who was soo uncomfrtable by me sitting next to him reading a book..that at first he tried to gt a sneak peak and then opened up a little photocopied brochure of some stuff and strted reading it and eventually gave up and strted staring at my book again to pass his time..
 
sometimes when i am looking at stuff...i get so carried away musically/wateva tht i start getting goosebumps...like ppl walking around the station while my ipod is playin "samskeyti" by sigur ros..the eyes i see the world with show me something beautiful and magnificent.
 
All thse questions in my head...all these little ideas, the entire cerebal philosophical paranoia bout life...and what cn be done with it...becomes absolutely dead when the first glass of beer goes down the throat, stays like tht fr a while...and at the end of the 10th standard drink grows exponentially into a deep dark silence...a man without words bt only a thick dense cloud of smoke around the head...indulging itself into intense hysteria and a sense of flight (not forgettting the bladder full of urine, which needs to leak once in a while)...this my frnd are the memoirs of a sad lonely drunk man.
 
i think all i need is one giant orgasm and ill come back to earth...or maybe...hmm?
 
something i wana mention here...some random person i met in the train told me...music, art, culture..no1 says nything...only words encourage arguments
 
anyways...power out..

Wherever I May Roam

.....
why do i say all wht i say?...
i dont know...my mind wanders...*
Alll my hatred for everything....all the anger i wana take out on some1/something....pours itself all down like a thick toxic fluid into religion.
 
nyways....i m on holidays...bt i m in sydney...and ive never felt more nostalgic....a nostalgia sooo dreadful, that i m ever lost in another dimension.
 
so this is wt it is rite now....
God dsnt exist, i m gettin to tht conclusion eventually...cz all wht i stood for, all i believed in..all the mourning i did in muharram sounds totally idiotic and unreal.
i am this new born realist...whose looking at life from a perspective which has these confined limits...anything out of it is not to be believed....its like an intense dose of practicality...soo strong tht my nerves might explode by writing another word...bt they dont, do they now?
 
All the supernatural phenomena, things like astrology, zodiac shit, ghosts, monsters, magic and miracles were hanging with lil clips to one major belief...the grandest and mightiest of them all...the belief in One All Mighty...the Supreme One True God...monotheism.
and now my agnostic sensibility...my semi psuedo intellectuality...my lack of explanation...all tend to diverge away from this one master belief...the key to all happiness....i cant find it...i cant fucking get to it man..wht the fuck!
 
* tommy lee jones said tht in no country for old men..even tho i ddnt get most of the movie...as cmpared to fargo, whch ws fukin awesum..this one wsnt too bad either.

14th may...

hmm...so its a day i celebrate...my birth...embrace the person i am...shake hands, hug...nd wish goodbye to who i was...
its a new yr...a new day...a new start...am i feeling good...?
drowning in the pool of piss of nostalgia...i run out of words yet again...never had too many anyway.
i am going hunting..i am the hunter...i bring back the goods...the knowledge, the booze, the bubble, a denial, a plastic box of mushrooms...
i want more...i want it...the it, the freedom, the wisdom....smelling, feeling...absorbing, adapting...the thick white smoke....the clock's ticking...
all this free bull shit...this crazy piece of crap...i am the hunter.
 
life's good alright...but the good times, the wild mood swings, the sounds are killing me...killing me...they need to shut up...shut the fuck up.
 
run, run, run, run, run, run............................................................:.:..:...:....:.....:........:............:..................:------>
