Blowing things up won't help.

Honestly speaking I’m pretty demotivated at the moment. I have no idea what I should write about so what I did was just simply clicked on Microsoft Words and started typing to see what comes out of the tip of my fingers.


As I was typing the first paragraph I was also thinking about what I should talk about. I’m flooded with thoughts and I wonder where I should start. It has been eventful in the last couple of months. Either they are directly in relation to me or there are just things that have happened to people I care. I guess this is life.

In life there are always a lot of things going on and most of them are probably going to be unpleasant. More so if you are someone living in a capitalist society. Your happiness is sometimes directly reflected by the number of the digits about the amount in your bank account. Sad. Capitalism. I am by no means a communist. I mean, both capitalism and communism aren’t bad, they are ideologies and ideologies are always raised as an ideal model. Both of them are perfect in theory. It’s the people that are executing them that molded them into whatever they are now. Not gonna comment too much about that, I have no intention to make this post political or ideological.

Speaking of ideology, kinda reminded me with the terrorist strike at Moscow. These people who bombed the airport really need to get a life. They need to wake up and see that they are merely peons that were manipulated into giving up their lives for an ugly cause, to inflict chaos, to bring down a government only to allow another ugly one to take power, if it ever happens.

More details of the news can be found HERE. Do a little googling if you are intend to follow the news, it’s everywhere.


Speaking of terrorist attack, it reminds me of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six, one of my favorite military fictions of all time. It speaks of an international task force that’s set up to battle terrorism that’s too great for any ill trained local enforcement to handle. They go in, eliminate the threats, let the local police take the credits, and they retreat. A black ops team, a noble team albeit a little merciless. In reality it can never be true because a team like this would not have been approved by whatever country that’s involved simply because too much is at stake and it could be used by some major influence to turn them into an elite assignation team. Nah… not gonna want that. Who knows what the-country-with-the-highest-debt would do with them.

I miss the game though. There was a game called Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six way back when the calendar just turned millennium, called Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield. I bought the game and played with my house mate. One of the most tactical game I’ve ever played. A game that not only requires a player to make live-or-die decisions on the fly, also a game that has so much realism and so strategic that I often beat players with are so much better than me in shooting.

Too bad that games that requires too much brain to play are just never gonna be popular. Computers games are often considered as child’s play and nowadays the children on the Internet dun seem to have much brain left. I’m feeling sad already. What happened to the theory of evolution? Aren’t we supposed to be moving forward? That puzzles me.

Anyway, the game was not intended to wow a lesser people. It was made for a pretty niche audience. I don’t blame anyone who does not play the game. That's why the game was not popular enough to get a sequel made. Sad.

It’s just a game, please dun jump on me for making such remarks. I’m just stereotyping. Nothing serious. It's my right to stereotype anything in my own blog.

Rainbow Six was fictional. Such a team never would have existed. It was a military ideal for all the people that are combating terrorism out there. Too bad it isn’t gonna be real. Never gonna come true.

I do think that people need to stop blowing other people up for attention. Honestly speaking, I’ve wanted to ask, what do you do with the attention you get for blowing up other people, while you are already dead. So what if you get the attention? You dun talk no more after you die. All you did was to allow people with agenda to take advantage of the fact that you blew up to spread their own agenda. Think twice brothers and sisters, before another one of you blow up. Whatever you are promised, it means nothing to you if you died. It means nothing to your friends and family if you died. It means nothing to the world if you died. Nothing can be achieved with bloodshed. Look at the most recent wars, nothing was achieved besides death, and then followed by more deaths. Save your time, save your life, get yourself a computer, a PS3 or even a crappy xbox 360 or whatever, blow things up virtually.

And then go back and tell your mom you love her.

Happy Chinese New Year.
