Is it really worth a thousand words?

Since i can't be arsed to write anything, and the reading public has fell in love with my dog, I suppose a couple of pictures would please everyone.

Living life to the fullest

We've all heard this statement before usually spouted by some eggheaded and perky idiot who goes around talking about how one should live life to the fullest. What pisses me off the most is the people who talk about this absolutely nonsensical statement usually live their lives as those portrayed in stupid TV commercials or those read in glossy magazines. The way the media has manipulated and dictated the way so many people live today just confounds me. Are our minds really that easy to be manipulated into thinking we need to do this or do that to actually count as living out our lives? Think about it for a moment, what does living life to the fullest really mean? I mean what do you do? Go around climbing mountains all day long? How many people can actually afford to live life to the fullest? Certainly not me, I can't afford to go on an African safari or climb the Matterhorn. People who actually live life to the fullest are the rich and fortunate ones, most people do as best they can to stay afloat, a lot of people may say it but hardly any of them actually DO it. Live like there's no tomorrow? If today was to be the last day of my life i wouldn't spend my time climbing some stupid ol mountain or whitewater rafting, I would spend it with my family, like every other sensible person would do. But wait, how can spending time with my family be living life to the fullest? Hmmm, it doesn't!! It just goes to show how inherently flawed the statement is! Living life to the fullest aint gonna pay the bills, living life to the fullest aint gonna pay me through university, such overly optimistic and wholly unrealistic statements should never be uttered.

Apathy - Agent of Destruction

Well after two previously otiose posts I think it is time to move on to more worthwhile topics, and one such topic is the issue of not giving a shit about anything, or to be succinct, apathy.

Apathy, a word that has had such a profound impact in my life these last couple of weeks. What's apathy you may ask? Well the Merriam-Webster online dictionary describes it as
1. lack of interest or concern
2. lack of feelings or emotion

Well my kind of apathy relates to the first definition, such things like exams and university applications, problems with friends and teachers, problems in my studies and college have led me to the brink of insanity. That is until i stumbled upon this wonderful word I found while surfing through the internet, apathy, a state of disinterest, i was truly intrigued, intrigued by the fact that I can release myself from the clutches of teen life. I mean let's face it its not exactly a walk in the park being a teen, and the whole idea of being totally indifferent to whatever may happen is like the drug I've been searching for.

I shared this new discovery with one of my friend who incidentally also stumbled upon this theory at about the same time as I did. Both of us were similar in many ways, both teens in the middle of their exams, at the crossroads of our young life, both of us trying to figure out a way to find a solution to our teenage angst. Now my friend, Shravan, embraced it more readily than I did mainly because of the kind of conditioning we Chinese kids undergo from our parents, being taught about the responsibilities we have to the family and to ourselves. But as time went on I got accustomed to not giving a shit about the happenings in my life, things like exams and university just couldn't cause me any consternation. It was like I had a new lease of life, it truly felt like a weight has been lifted from my thoroughly exhausted shoulders, I could go on with life without being bothered by my responsibilities and other such bullshit.

But sadly not unlike all the drugs out there apathy has it's side effects, and not particularly nice ones at that. Fogr one thing being indifferent to your studies would mostly like mean bad grades, bad grades would mean not getting into good universities, and not getting into good universities would mean not having a bright future in life. Well that's the stereotypical view of most people on the pathway to success and sadly I'm a victim of such a view. And today for some reason I just realised, apathy is not a form of escapism, it is a fucking excuse, an excuse borne out of the greatest evil known to mankind, PROCRASTINATION!!!

But the issue of procrastination is to be left for another post, the main point is anybody foolish enough like myself to be lulled into believing in apathy should be treat it with as much hate as a Jew would treat a Nazi, that is gasing the stupid idea to hell!

5 Reasons why my dog would totally OWN your dog

1. He is my dog, that is reason enough for him to kick your dog's ass.
2. He possesses the scariest stare possible.
3. He runs faster than your dog and therefore your dog would not be able to escape his clutches. Yes he broke the land speed record for dogs, beating Lassie by 4.2 seconds, that's fact so u better fuckin believe it.
4. He eats beef jerky and nails for breakfast, so he has claws of steel, plus his balls is so hard he uses them to knock his enemies down, KAPOWWW.
5. He once killed a cow just by barking at it, a post mortem of the cow revealed how its innards were turned into goo, so don't you mes with my dog.
