Is This The World We Created...?

Just look at all those hungry mouths we have to feed
Take a look at all the suffering we breed
So many lonely faces scattered all around
Searching for what they need

Is this the world we created...?
We made it all our own
Is this the world we invaded
Against the law
So it seems in the end
Is this what we're all living for today
The world that we created

You know that everyday a helpless child is born
Who needs some loving care inside a happy home
Somewhere a wealthy man is sitting on his throne
Waiting for life to go by

Wooh, is this the world we created...?
We made it all our own
Is this the world we devastated
Right to the bone
If there's a God up in the sky looking down
What must he think of what we've done
To the world that he created

The Internet

The most awesomely powerfull tool ever founded by God, some people may have claimed to invent it but is it was already there to begin with, that's how God looked for information and bought the materials to create the entire galaxy.

Sometime earlier this week someone stole my Internet, the office server was somehow infected by a virus or perhaps it wa a whole host of virae so my Internet was taken away from me automatically caused me to lose m ability to do any form of work, that's where I discovered another part of Hell, it was none other than endless session of solitaire and mind sweeper combined with auto shutdowns, it was scarrier than Dante ever imagined.

In recent news

The Thai Prime Minister declared a state of emergency yesterday while attending a UN general assembly in New York after hearing that the Thai armed force enterd the Thai capital of Bangkok and occupied government buildings and media stations. The coup is one of many attempts the Thai Military have done to take over the government but it never succeded simply because nobody cares. The Military apparently also didn't give a flying fuck and declared the state of emergency void.
In Thailand's long modern political history the Military have done perhaps more than a dozen attempts in taking over the government since the 1930's but because nobody cared it hardly ever changes anything.

New resident new problems

Just with everything in life adding a new element to the household will cause problems. It's sad looking at an animal that's used to living in a large room with a predominantly cool temprature having to be locked up in a small cage with warm temprature, it's sad me to see her in that state I wish I could realy understand what she wants.

Ichi go Ichi E

Often translated as "One encounter, One chance", a common phrase in the world of Japanese martial arts meaning that you only have one chance in in making a strike, similar to the Latin phrase "carpe diem". It is usually used to encourage a person to strike at an opening as soon as it presents itself without delay. This is the same concept that I use when making a snappy comeback when a person say or do something stupid in my presence.

Much of the same concepts I practice in martial arts are applicable in the art of a snappy comebacks. The 3 "sen" mentioned in Miyamoto Musashi's famous Book of Five Rings are also applicable.

The first "Go no sen" is an attack performed after the opponent makes a move, generally known as a "counter" is the most common practice in snappy comebacks.

The second, "Sen no Sen" is to attack at the same time as the opponent but for it to be successful the "comeback" must be better than your opponent so that theirs will be rendered useless/worthless.

Finally "Go no sen", to attack an opponent even before he can makes a move, generally known as a "pre-emptive attack", perhaps the most difficult to practice well as it requires the ability to detect an opening before the oponent realize he/she has an opening.

Much of my comebacks are done in the state of "Mushin", roughly translated as "no mind" that is they are mostly done naturaly without the need to think although I still have some difficuty when asked to demonstrate my skills out of context.


I wish my Kendo is as good as my comebacks, I'd probably be a 5th dan by now.

Now that's over with.....

After the the cheers fade and the dust have long since settled we can see the truth to Apple's real target market. It's none other than next generation hip ninja! seriously with iPod shuffle's size being reduced small enough to be swallowed or taped/clipped behind your ears who else would be buying these things!?

With Apple dropping the word "Music" in iTunes Music Store (iTMS) will people start calling iTS? Anyway I think I'm going to get some some music and a few episodes of "The Daily Show" From the iT Store.
I think I just came up with a new term, Techccessorize!

Loosing my Way

It has been more than a year since I moved back to Jakarta, it's not strange how moving to a different environment can change people but it doesn't stop it from being interesting. Since then I have gained several things and lost many things both positive and negative things, those who know me would probably find small differences yet when I look at myself the small things that have changed made a huge difference, what was then serenity became carelessness and confidence became borderline arrogance.

I never made an issue of people's perception towards me but when I look at myself and I don't like what I see things will have to change, now is probably a good time for me to take a few steps back and move forward differently.

>_>

There are many reasons why people do the things they do mainly it's devided into necessity and wants the other can be classified as accidents. The forst two things are usually very distinct to each other yet at other times they overlap each other and when they do things starts to get rather confusing then you'll loose perspective of what you had to do. The third catagory are mostly done subconsciously one example is where your wants are constantly suppressed by the lack of necessity to do so or maybe because you know it's a stupid thing to do but in the end you do it anyway. Resutls coming from an accident varies depending on the current and future variables and in accidents the laws of cause and effect are more evident usually supported by your mind or someone else saying "see I told you so" whatever the outcome may be. The laws of cause and effect however also applies with things done out of necessity but it is not as evident as accidents or wants.

Interupted thought

I was about to post something deep and meaningful (for me anyway) about wealth, power and knowledge and how we're all addicted to it, it all fell apart when I heard my manager and former manager arguing about whether his watch was chronological....and the mentions about his watch being an old timer.....I just couldn't hold myself, all previous thought just disapeared.

Yes I won't certainly not do it

sentence of the day:

"Improper misuse of office facilities will not be tolerated"

cosmic confusion

I find it strange when good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people. In times like this people usually tell others to have faith, funny concept that, faith, beleiving in something that is uncertain. I'm curious to know what the concept of justice really is in the eye of the Beholder, those who steal, rob and kill gets away without reprocussion while those who are trying to do some good to the world are cut down in their prime.

FIREWALLED!!!!!

As it turns out my access to LJ and other website's been firewalled, good thing I brought a can of Compressed CO2 and a sledgehammer so no more fire and no more wall!

"The system is down"

Hard drive Irrepairable (according to Disk Utilities, I wonder if Disk Warrior would help), inactive modem (probably something to do with the former), clock's a bit wonky (again most likely related), can't access LJ (all I see is a whole bunch of strange lines of texts)so I have to post my game related blogs here for now.

Things to do, back up all files, Erase disk, reinstall everything, this is going to be a long and busy week.
