Mental Blabberings

Or so they say. I'm now really 21 years old, and currently having fun. I don't know what the number 21 does to the human male body, but I feel really different compared to when I was 20. I don't think it's actually physical, more physiological. Or psychological I might say. I get this sudden feeling of duty and responsibility, more than I did the time I turned 20. But that's another story, because I started my 21st year on this earth with a party. Parties were meant to be escapes from reality, an excuse to do things while you're intoxicated, incoherent, irrational, and even asleep. However, parties are basically a celebration of something significant -- might be a new haircut, a new promotion, a special accomplishment, or another year to your life. Some people have parties for other people, while some just have parties for the sake of having parties. Life was meant to be a party (or so they say) that's why I just enjoy whatever comes my way. I've p...

Good riddance. Two consecutive days of gimmick -- yet again. This is certainly something I'll miss when I finally start working and moving on with my life, and that's definitely something I plan to do (move on) as I grow older in a couple of days. I know I'm going to have to eventually do that, but for now I still need to enjoy my life as a free person. Anyway, the Chivas Regal I served for the party friday night was a really memorable bottle of whisky that I wouldn't forget in the near future. A handful of my friends were there, although it would have been nice if I had more come over. Not that I'm complaining, the company was really something to remember. I invited all that I could handle and I was thankful for their presence. Now I know that keeping friends really pay when you need them the most. And as for the devil, I'm feeling better and badder now -- met a new friend that my aunt met through texting, and he's one party freak. Not to mention that...

Around 7 o'clock pm today, I'll be hosting an advanced birthday party for myself. I'll be doing this because my birthday (on the 27th) is on a Tuesday -- and students and people with work alike have things going on during the middle of the week. I should be able to say more about the party when it's been done with and things have already happened. I definitely however AM looking forward to the celebration later. Geez, 21... Such a symbolic age. Oh well, time to grow up now. Chill...

During the weekend, I had been enjoying myself surfing through friends of friends in Friendster . I've messaged a few people, and I've tried adding some of them too. While not everyone I tried adding were available, I had fun reading through very interesting profiles. One friend I have put it as "friendster whoring" and that's what I definitely did for the past few days. It's definitely something else -- the idea of building a network of friends of friends of friends of friends. Adding new friends increases your network, and having more friends adds to the fun of friendster whoring. I've been having fun lately, and I'm planning on meeting a lot more people through Friendster than personal referrals -- which take almost forever. At least I'd be able to meet people on my own volition (or my own GUTS), and if the other person is also game then we'd be friends not just in friendster. I've tried bookmarking people, and it is effective. Som...

Vischeck: VischeckURL Very interesting especially when it comes to caring for people with sight disorders.

American Scientist Online - The Post-OOP Paradigm Not your ordinary OOP bashing, but a more scientific explanation to the things happening around the OOP concept and the driving forces towards a new paradigm. Having to deal with a new paradigm in the near future could be something the younger generation would have to worry about, but for now it's something very interesting to talk about and argue about.

Felt kinda tired about the look of my blog, and I decided to go with a more minimalistic approach to blogging. I also forgot about my traditional website look and put the sidebar at the right -- this way people get to read the post first before other things regarding my blog. In case people didn't notice, the last time I used the right hand sidebar was with the first time I used the blog. I don't know why I prefered having the sidebar on the left, when it's a known fact (or concept) that english and thus the first thing you read is usually at the left side of the page/sentence/word. Unless of course you look from the right to your left, which is something I wouldn't want to talk about anytime soon. I definitely like the new look now, however I might consider using a different color scheme, knowing that my favorite color is blue, and the best shade for me would be grey. I'm not sure if that last statement made sense, but I remember someo...
