Haven been posting much recently. I guess I'm falling into the symptoms of depression and cabin fever. Knowing I need to snap out of it and move on, but I'm just stuck here, huddling in a fetal position.

The struggle against normalcy bais. The victim of procrastination. And the knowledge of upcoming festive gatherings isn't really helping.

If I could drink and get drunk now, I would.
I guess I'm really turning into the seldom seen kid.




Nothing like a little Gunther to perk up the week! Admit it, that has gotta be the sexiest mustache-duck-face ever!

Ooo~ You touched my tralala - my ding ding dong



Ooo-la-la~ Ching-ching-cha~



O-la-O-la~ La-ga-ga-ga-ga~



PS: Gotta say, I think if Nick ever went for the mustache look, this would be it! Lol'ed!




" All we know is that we don't know,
How its gonna be,
Please brother let it be,
Life on the other hand won't let us understand,
We're all part of the masterplan.

Say it loud and sing it proud today. "





And I guess as of today, I'm officially putting down all hope of going anywhere near the land of ice and snow. It has indeed been a depressing month. I guess I really need to move on.





American Music Awards 2011.
LMFAO.
Party Rock Anthem.
Sexy and I Know It.
A shuffling Justin Bieber.
A wild wiggling David Hasselhoff.
Quest Crew.
Will.i.am
Striptease on Stage
Gyration on National TV
An inflatable Zebra

So much EPIC-ness all in one video.
Mind = Blown.

This is the highest resolution I could find thus far (720p). Enjoy ^^x

Going considerably viral, the official MTV for this enchanting track. Really a unique MTV, reminding me of something OK Go would do, like their toast MTV for "Last Leaf"



and finally a peep at intense time consuming process behind it all. One word - Woah!



Thanks Nick for the share!




So if you haven heard of Linsey Stirling, she is a 25 year old violinist from the states, and she really reminds me of a female David Garrett, in that she is really into her music, shuffles/struts/dances her way through it, and both take violins beyond classical genres.

Really love this collaboration she did. Shuffling with a violin is just awesome!



And she does take it one step further with theatrical performance too!




"... Can anybody hear me?
Am I talking to myself?
My mind is running empty,
In this search for someone else,
Who doesn't look right through me.
It's all just static in my head.
Can anybody tell me why I'm lonely like a satellite?

Cause tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut,
Sending SOS from this tiny box.
And I lost all signal when I lifted off.
Now I'm stuck out here and the world forgot.
Can I please come down, cause I'm tired of drifting round and round
Can I please come down?... "

Personally, I think this is the only great thing about the upcoming Twilight movie. Musically, it doesn't tug at my heartstrings as much as Jar of Hearts, but the cinematography used throughout just sends chills down my spine. And no, I am totally not referring to the Twilight snippets, could have well done away with those imho.




Sometimes, art just borders on amusing to disturbing. This is one of those moments. Some things are probably best heard and left unseen.



What has been seen, cannot be unseen




What do you think, is the worst part of living? Disability? Cancer? A broken heart? Loss of a love one?

To me, the worst possible thing in life, is none of the above. Sure, the end is crushing, The knowledge that something is definite and can never be changed is devastating. But with each end, comes a beginning, a hope, a means of coping.

No.
The worst part of living,
is waiting for that end.

The sheer weight with waiting. The growing void of nothingness. The anticipation of the worst possible outcome. The replaying of options that could have made a difference. The torturous self-doubting. The uncertainty of when it will all end. The inability to control it all. The helplessness to affect it. The incapacity to move on. Paralysed, emotionally and physically. The lonely detachment from the world, that only those like you who were waiting too would understand. The eventual sense of loss in everything - track of time, grip on reality, hold on sanity. Yes, this unbearable agony when a swift death is denied. Indeed, it is life's sickest of torments.

And yet, we are guilty of it.
Possibly everyday.
To the people we love the most.

Yes.
The worst thing you could do to anyone, is to ignore them, deny them an answer, and leave them waiting.

The worst thing is you could give anyone,
is absolutely nothing.




One of the defining memories of being a kid in the 90s.




One of the much better parodies made on the LMFAO hit. Great shots, locations, post-editing, planned sequences and lots of actors! Lots of effort in this one!




Epic videos made through the time-consuming process of stop motion animations and post-editing. Combine it with the antics of a comedian and you have a really fun experience. Totally sounds like something Nick should do.








1000th post.

Big thanks to all who have been here throughout the years and listened to my rambles =P... yes, I do know that at times the content is a tad random and all, but yeah that's who I am =3

1000th post... I guess it also hints of a tinge of maturity. Well, a resolution that I'm making as of this post onwards would be to change my blogging style. I will still contain my rambling thoughts and all. But without the smileys and all. Hopefully, this will aid me in my professional writings in the years to come!

So yes, come 36 hours, I will be taking the GRE examinations. I guess this is where reality sets in, and my cynicism steps in. It does seem to appear that even with tons of hard work and dedication, there is will always be an unbridgeable chasm that separates prodigies and true brilliance from the pack.



PS: To those who know me - I know it has never been the habit on this blog, but you know, I do enjoy it when I read the comments left by you guys/girls. So yeah, do leave some in the future, either by the post or the chatbox. Yes, I do check for them! ^^x




Totally gets me all emo and sappy... storyline songs always get me... the same way Collin Raye's "Love Me" also gets me.




And a double post coz some things are just that awesome =3






Coz some things just survive the test of time =3






MGMT: Kids.

One of those timeless songs... simple words that still mean something... at different stages of your life...

And love the quote... although I do think it's by Friedrich Nietzsche not Mark Twain =P

" He who fights with monsters might take care...
... Lest he thereby become a monster.
And if you gaze for long into an abyss...
... The abyss gazes also into you. "

We're always growing... constantly affected by all around us... human or machine... living or animated... is it all for the better?... or are we just burdened and even afflicted by it all?



" Control yourself,
Take only what you need from it.
A family of trees wanted,
To be haunted. "




And I guess, it's interesting that another great game has a theme song with the same name =3... totally different lyrics and feel though.. but still awesome... and coincidentally, was also on offer on Steam over the weekend... Still THE pakour game to own! =3



and here is the instrumental version that I love.. just makes you wanna do awesome pakour moves on the go =P



and I have no idea really on the relationship.. as to why... but there is a trance track Shine by Alcorus that is based on? / inspired? the theme =3




See.
