I'm Alive

I've not been posting for a long time. But rest assured I'm alive. At this very moment (hint: look at the timestamp) I have JUST returned from work. Although I do not work This late everyday. This is just to illustrate my point that I am really busy. Even if I come home earlier at normal hours, I tend to take the time to do personal stuff and sleep. I haven't even had time to read my books and I now have a whole pile of more than a dozen books which haven't been read. This does not even include books which friends have lent me.

Big things that happened since I last posted?

-Need for Speed Underground 2 was released.
-Medal of Honor Pacific Assault was released
-Half Life 2 was released (completed)
-Went to a book warehouse sale (bought more books)
-Authored my first DVD
-Done ALOT of writing.

So whats with my new job? I suppose I've written alot about it but never really disclosed what it entails. I've taken an editorial position with a prominent IT portal in Asia, HardwareZone I'm working as a writer for the online portal itself (they have a few printed publications as well) and have been busy the past month earning my keep. I tell ya, writing professionally is totally different from personal writing, like this blog for instance. I can rant off and spew my mind without worrying about spelling and grammar. I can use street slang more often than not. I don't have to me meticulous about details and factoids. I don't have to do graphs (Oh how I loathe Graphs) Don't mistake me. It's my dream job and I'm loving every moment of it. It's just that I don't really have the time to rant as long as I used to.

What I'll do is the next post, I'll dedicate it as my article tracker. I'll use that to constantly add the stuff I've done and has been published. Well, I still need to bathe... and relax a while before going zzzz. MaD out...

Indecision Man. Coming to a theater somewhere.....maybe...not

What the Hell is going on? Now, I've decided to stay away from commenting on the US presidential race or anything political for that matter cause I didn't really want to spew crap onto my blog. However, this is just stupid.

Just in on CNN.com Kerry Calls Bush to Concede.

After the campaigning, after all the drawn out speeches and promises, after all the talk about fighting to the end, "You deserve no less". Now that we're right smack in the middle of vote consolidation, He calls up Bush to CONCEDE????? I mean even if he loses, well the Goddamn people will have decided. Did he just wake up from his nap and thought, "Why am I putting myself through this"...[dials Bush's number]..."Hey Bush, I don't think I want to play anymore... you go ahead and be President, k? bye"

While Bush has been the butt of many jokes about his intelligence and leadership (as far as I'm concern, true on all counts), Kerry is one indecisive mother. I mean, is this the best the US can put forward? The best candidates for the most powerful position in the country and arguably the world are a war-mongering idiot and a 10-year old in a candy shop???????

"President Kerry, the Al-Qaeda has just bombed Times Square. What shall we do?"
"Bomb them back"
"Are you sure?"
"Uh..ok maybe we just talk to them"
"But they just flattened Times Square"
"KIll the buggers then"
"I'll call the General"
"No Wait....why don't we setup a poll and see what the public wants"
"A Poll sir?"
"Yes, if the public wants me to attack, I'll do it... lets have tea for the time being... Is it too late to call Bush and concede? I don't like all these decisions."
