He never woke up!!!

Well, it's been WAY too long since my last post, forgive me as I have been slack. But not TOO slack though. I have been doing plenty of uni work over the break, but unfortunately rather slowly. Striking up that fine balance between work and play is tough, cause I have been about 30% work, 70% play. Hopefully I'll get my act back together when uni is back on this week. One would hope so especially since all that work is due quite soon, but no need to fuss since the tough parts have all been done.

The other may be dead! I have told him to blog but alas, to no avail! Hopefully he'll start again once he's back to work too.

I also blame my skewed holiday work ethic towards ROM games and emulators!! I recently discovered the goodness of the GENS emulator and a different Master System one and I have about 140 games all up and I have just been enjoying the sheer brilliance of nostalgia. I also love being able to save a game at any point!! Really great just before boss battles or entering new territory. Ahh, how I miss old games! They required balls to complete. Games these days are too realistic, and bogged down in graphics and such. What happened to the good ol fun factor? Who remembers the insanity of MK2 and fighting the monstrosity that was Kintaro, only to get the crapped kicked out of you by Shao Kahn?! And Sonic!! Some of those Robotnik battles require you to think like a mathematician, no child could figure that stuff out. Also brings back memories of the other and I playing Lego Star Wars!!

I really hate hypocrites. The kind that lash out at you for something, and then you find out that they're guilty of the exact same thing. It's even worse when you're completely an innocent party. Ahh, but it also does bring with it the possibility of sweet revenge, and the savouring that shall follow after a plan is well executed.

You know what's strange? That all major religions presuppose the existence of money (or any form of currency). There are citations such as having to donate to charity or to take care of the "lesser" members of society. Why is there that assumption that poor people will always exist? With religion, isn't it a primary directive not to fear anything because we're heading somewhere good when we die? So why look after poor people? The quicker they're dead, the quicker they can be happy. Does religion assume that there'll never ever be an ideal world? If that's the case, why bother with religion in the first place? We SHOULD steal, we SHOULD kill and so on and so forth.

There's also a point of the pre-existence of a money/power relationship. Obviously those that have the money have the power. If poverty is wiped out, does religion get contradicted? Will poverty always need to exist in order to keep it sensical? Haha, I sound like a freakin' Republican! "Ending poverty is the path to communism!!" haha!

That's it for today folks. Have a nice day!
