Yeah, I've had an epiphany:
Setting quotas for myself hasn't and isn't ever going to work.
From now on, I shall blog whenever I feel like it.
So listen up good 'cause my next post will probably be in... ...
a while.
I blame the media.
How is this related to the media you may ask? Let's face it: the main reason this blog is even here is because I (just like many of my blogging comrades) succumbed to the ever rampant disease which is peer pressure. One of your friends gets a blog, joined then by another, and another and before you know it 80% of your Facebook friends have turned into self-proclaimed professional bloggers, boasting about their new layouts and widgets, posting status updates relating to their newest posts on their cyber-diaries and comparing among themselves which website is a better host for their beloved online journals.
And the media just rides off all this hype. All the sudden, they have a whole section of their weekend paper dedicated to the realm of blogging. Now, reading about famous celebrity blogs in the newspapers, receiving links to web portals of socialites who have no qualms about unravelling their daily drama for gossip-hungry readers, it all kinda makes you want to squeeze your way into this social circle of interwoven networks.
And that is EXACTLY what I did, people! So give yourself a clap on the back for contributing to the media's choke hold on today's society.
I'm not proud of falling into this mainstream trend (as you can clearly tell), but at least this blog is doing its job; it is keeping ME (and you, the reader) entertained. And if you aren't enjoying this, well its OK, because I am. Hmmmm. So yes, I blame the MEDIA. If it weren't for its effectiveness at broadcasting trends and making social outcasts like me feel all insignificant, I would not be feeling guilty about letting this blog of mine die a thousand social deaths.
*phewwwwwww*
I feel like I should type out a detailed paragraph about what I've been doing since my last blog post, but I grow weary of flushing my brains out. Wit and eloquence take up a lot of processing power, which my brain currently lacks. After being on a studies hiatus for about 4 months, it seems my brain has lost its usual stamina. Kinda like a sprinter who quits the team to study for his finals and returns four months later, barely able to run three laps.
And college hasn't even gotten into full swing yet. Tomorrow will be my fourth day at IACT, Petaling Jaya. This Diploma in Mass Communication was not my initial choice, but money talks; with a full scholarship shoved right under my nose, how could I say no? Besides, I know my family could do with one less financial burden to cover.
All in all, life is going great for me now. I don't think I've ever been happier. Sure, theater participation is low for now, but I've already booked some backstage work for May/June and I have more time to watch plays instead of being in rehearsals. Its a nice, relaxing change, not having to worry about costume changes but just sitting in the audience watching actors try their best to please moi.
Let's see... How do I end this post? A witty comment? A happy ever after? Some famous quote from some equally famous movie star? A cute riddle? ... I think a goodbye and goodnight should do.
Goodbye and goodnight.
