I Am Deeply Saddened That...
there's this big fuss over our dearest Pope John Paul II, bless his soul
everyone's gone into a mourning and weeping frenzy
isn't that sick. doesn't that make you sick ?
i won't even heisitate to contrast one man's death
to the thousands who die daily
from starvation, from disease and plague in third world countries
what the hell is wrong with the world.
sure he may be a big shot in life,
but doesn't Christianity teach that life is all equal
does that not imply that the deaths of say,
a young Sudanese child is equivilant to the death of the Pope?
sure he gets more recognition because he's so renowned
i won't say he hasn't done the world a great deal of good,
but this mass mourning.. makes me so sickened
after the death of every past Pope, a sacred ritual called conclave is held
this ritual is held in the Vatican to nominate one of the
preferiti to be the next Holy See
these chosen cardinals are selectively picked from the cream of the crop
cardinals who have not wavered in their line of duty to the catholic church
men who do not have skeletons in their closets
men who do not have any past griviences that would marr the name of the church
well.
so this cardinal #1 gets chosen
what happens to cardinals #2, #3 and #4 etc. ?
do they go discarded whilst each and everyone of them gets zero recognition?
to think they all had equal chances at Popedom.
i doubt the past
preferiti would be getting the same treatment
as John Paul II when they die.
would they ?
so a Pope is mourned because of the good he's done for the world.
what has he done?
did he get any Nobel Peace Prize?
that means when Bono dies people are gonna mourn even more for him?
that U2 singer has gotten his 2nd Nobel only recently.
but i bet you didn't know that
i mean, everyone knows the Pope
he's the big shot in the catholic church
everyone respects him right ?
and the square was filled with youths singing
' Hallelujah, he will rise again '
like w-t-f. John Paul was hardly Jesus
he's not gonna rise up anytime soon
although i'm sure this was sung in the best of heart,
it just goes to show that most people in this world don't think before speaking
or singing, for that matter
now Straits Times published a segment for letters written by our leaders
they express their grieviences for the late Pope
but i guess they never really knew him
i mean, i would express sadness for him (or is it Him, since we're so fond of capitalizations)
but grievience. that's only if i knew the guy
was PM Lee even catholic ?
i don't see the point of sincerity in those letters.
maybe a touch of teary condolences. but the fact is - no one really gives a shit
no one gives a shit about a dead man lying on his ornate tomb
no one gives a shit about a dead man who did a whole load of goodness while he was alive
sure, they all piss and moan about how he died
but no one really knew him personally, maybe except his chamberlain and his cardinals
but other than that,
why is everyone moaning their asses off over a man they hardly knew
they only knew him through his actions
so does this imply if i do good deeds, people will mourn for me later on?
i doubt so. so does that mean they're mourning only because he's the Pope?
i think that's a more plausible logical deduction. because he's the
Popei can't wait for conclave to end, so maybe then we all can look forward to a bright future
of another old man kicking his bucket so we all can repeat this cycle again
which won't be long, since only old men are holy enough to be picked as
preferitiso i'll just sit on my couch with a bag of chips (Ruffles are the way to go)
and a can of drink (Hell Yeah, Coke Light!)
and watch the next funeral from my comfortable position
and unless i know the next Pope, which sure as hell won't be my grandfather
or your grandfather, or the grandfather of anyone i'll know (hell, i won't care anyway)
you won't see me crying for that man
i'll just cross myself and say amen. -gg
Pope John Paul II asks for forgiveness for the sins of the Holy Roman Catholic Church throughout the ages. Note: The Catholic Church itself is sinless as is its founder Jesus. Only men can sin and these must personally ask for forgiveness. His action clearly is intended to discredit the true Church.
While it is ludicrous to apologize for the sins of another person, one may properly apologize for failing to publicly admonish public sinners –priest, bishop, pope– for sins against God and the members of His Church
are you sure? or is he just trying to beg his way into heaven ? hmm.
Sorry man, but it was cool while it lasted
The Pope was ranked top 100 on the world's sexiest man list, right after me.
Talking Cock About Singapore And Gaming
so today i was going w-t-f man to myself
i met this rare one of a kind bus driver
who actually stopped his bus to let me on
even after i missed the bloody stop
what's with SBS protocol,
that they don't allow people who came 2 seconds late to board?
i know everyone's like a time freak in our sunny little island
but giving those few precious seconds of your time wouldn't kill anyone right?
but no,
all these bus drivers (in general) are totally into their daily schedules
so say:
i have to get from location 'fuck' to location 'you' in 30 seconds
if i don't make that speed trip in that time frame
there goes my year-end bonus and promotion from service 2000 to service 7
that means i'll be ditched with all the crappy duties and long routes
that all those promoted bastards never get. -yawn
so i have to fuck all these people up by rushing off. gg to your jobs losers !
so like, you always see these hurried people rushing about
wait, aren't the commuters supposed to be the ones rushing?
hell no, i mean, they are the ones running after your bus after all ehhh.
fuckers.
i can't count the number of times i got jacked by such drivers
so i'll just use a cliche :
if i had a penny (which is approx worth 0.3 of our sg cents)
i'd be 20 SGD richer than i already am
that'd pay for a month of my subsidised bus fares.
so as i was saying,
i met this rare nice bloke who let me on
besides waving me inside like other nice blokes do,
he gave me advice
nice uncle bloke : so like, i'm not supposed to let you in you know.. SBS is super strict they record down what i do all the time so i might get scolded later on hahaha.
me : really? man, that would suck, thanks anyway man, sorry to trouble you
nice uncle bloke : ya, in Singapore, when you want to steal you have to look around first, because if you steal in front everyone they'll think you're a theif for life. But if you steal without anyone seeing you, it's ok right ? Same with this service, i'm not getting promoted because too many people see me let people like you on what
me : haha, ya that's true, i think you should be promoted for letting people on, best customer service you know ! I really hate those uncles who drive past you without stopping even though they see you running after their buses.
nice uncle bloke : ya what, all they want are promotions what. Feed their family and all that, i don't really care haha i'm working as a conductor for fun, my wife's quite power haha !
so i was like. man this guy rocks.
he's what i want to be when i grow up
marry a rich girl and do all sorts of lame jobs that i wanted to do when i was a kid
like being a fireman or a cement mixer guy at a construction site
now that would really rock
hahaha.
this kinda brought my thoughts back to my friend's views on our government
or 'gah-men' as well put by our all time favourite premier satirical political site :
www.talkingcock.comwho's exit link is such a great joke in itself
ha-ha-ha left to our favourite website of the year. Sorry, hor. (:
so my friend hates our government
a few choice quotes from him during our talks prior to the O-Levels are :
' Someone's gotta do something. But everyone is so fearful of the oligarchy that they don't dare '
' It sux not being able to have freedom of speech '
' And so much for our pledge to make Singapore a democratic society. '' If they [gah-men] do that then they are going against what we recite daily. '
so what now, do we hate our government ?
do we Singaporeans really want a piece of the political pie ?
i think the truth is, we don't really care
i'd like to comment on the casino issues here,
but i'm afraid it's been too cliche fricassed
that there's hardly any room left to debate on this issue
my own opinion for what it's worth :
i don't care, because i'm not gaining from it's cash flowisn't that what's on the mind of everyone
we're all selfish bastards, and if you disagree with this statement
you are either ; a liar, or a hippy spreading your love
this is Singapore ffs.
but hey, i'm not saying there aren't nice blokes in our country
i mean, look at that guy who bashed up the blind busker in Orchard
wasn't he such a great bollocking dude,
imagine whacking up a blind dude just 'cause he unknowingly got a prime spot
LOL. FFS. THAT WAS TOTALLY BULLSHIT.
i hope that guy burns and rots in jail.
moreover that guy who robbed 6 bucks off the blind busker #2
wow 6 dollars. that'd put you over for 1 meal
and that guy for a day's earnings. whatever for ?
is that 6 dollars so worth the jail time you're gonna get
is 6 dollars worth the kicks that you got from robbing a -blind- busker ?
roflmao you make me laugh my guts out
i wish i could laugh at you in your jail cell, but that'd just be too cruel of me
right? just as you were to the blind guy.
now, back to more mundane bitchings :
online gamingso like, in China, i hear, these teens are getting real addicted to gaming
so much so that the government has opened up a facility to rehab them
my dad came in today and showed me this article and asked me to read it
it's not saying that i play too much games online
but i occasionally indulge myself in a couple of WC3 officials or DotAs
just like every other male WC3 player in Singapore
just that parents always have to assume that when you log on, you play
not so. we all do different things online
so when a girl logs on does she head straight into a game?
if you just said no, why doesn't that apply to boys too.
hahaha. fuck society when they lapse into assumptions
one bad thing will break you of all the good things that you did
that's how our lives work. gg no re- when you mess up once
oh shit i've digressed so far, so back to the gaming issue in China :
we're seeing the rise of a man who styles himself as 'The Accidental Counsellor'
seems that Mr Tao H.K found his job as a counsellor for kids who can't control themselves
with their internet addiction going over the top, he comes in to save the day
well. good for him, making a quick buck over these losers
hey, i was once a loser like them
but i never needed counselling right ?
i used to find myself addicted to freaking Diablo II,
playing everyday to get my stupid items and levelling my meaningless character
but i decided one day : lol, that the hell am i doing
so i took all my shit and sold it on eBay before Blizzard banned people from doing so
guess what, i have $2,042.35 US sitting in my account, waiting to be picked up
just when i get my credit card man...
i didn't need a counsellor, i didn't need help
so why don't all these jokers dig themselves out and help themselves
well i guess people really do need help some times,
people such as Qiu Chengwei, 41.
Fourty-One years of age and still such a freaking n3rd.

he stabbed his online gaming friend for the delay in coughing up cash
for his uber-rare weapon that makes you super powerful on this game
... stabbing. i guess we need some kooks in this world now and then -
makes life exciting for all of us
stabbing had never been so stressfulwell signing off now. spent too much time on the comp
i'm afraid i might go on a spree and stab some
kermits to death tomorrow
-grins
will talk about our dearest deceased soon.
i promise not to be such an ass over him. (:
