The look of this blog is being....uhh....updated. Revamped. What have you. The actual change will be finished when I feel like it. Today, next month....10 years, maybe. I am not sure.
Update - 4th May '08: revamping completed...for now. Will commence posting new stuff soon.

Backed to the wall.
It's been...rather hectic lately. It's like taking a walk in the open fields, and somehow I stepped into a small puddle of quicksand. As I stand rooted to the ground, I can see several hurricanes approaching me. That's no way to live, damn it. This balancing act is taxing my energy & sanity.
This is not a good development - thus I am seeking solace from the unlikeliest of sources - Lewis Black. While the idea of listening to a fellow angry man ranting to the boiling point seems counter productive, what the heck, I think the guy's entertaining...that's all that counts. I always need a laugh or two just to keep myself sane.
My newfound appreciation of Mr. Black's material is torturing my credit limit, though. Downloaded all of his works to date. Of course, he was recommended to me by Benjamin E (what's up, buddy?), but at the time I was still into Jerry Seinfeld's & Chris Rock's standup stuff. His 'Back in Black' segment on The Daily Show is great too.
Let's take a turn into a slightly darker corner. I personally feel that the word 'betray' had been thrown around too often these days, thus losing it's serious connotation or effect. Maybe it's just me. But here's what I feel about it:
Respect is a two-way street, it's a mutual thing. I'm not gonna betray anyone just because I can do so. If someone been a prick to me, I'll lose any respect for that person and just straight up say, "Go to hell." Cross me, I'll double cross you. Hurt me, and I'll destroy you. When someone close to me had broken my trust, I will never even look at them the same way again. Especially after giving several chances and they still sing the same damn song. As a human being, I'll have to forgive them...but I'm gonna keep a case file up there in the little corner of my brain. Just for future reference.
On the other hand, I'm not asking people to bow down to me. Hell, no. I'll just go about my business and they go with their own. If the paths were to be crossed, let it be in the most civil way possible. That's not too much to ask for, hopefully.
Whew...okay, I need to get a grip now. Let's not increase the blood pressure too much, Izzat. There, it feels better now. Alright, till the next time - whenever that will be.
(Extra note: even though we never met, it's been great dealing with you all these while...good luck in your future endeavors, Suzie. God bless.)
