Perfection is something without flaws. Beauty is an image far greater than the rest. Kindness is a gesture that does good. Love is something that makes a person do extraordinary things, both expected and out of the norm.
She is nothing like those mentioned above, she is just a mere human being. Sleeps, eats, walks and talks like the rest of us living in this world. She is anything but perfect, makes mistakes like everyone does, trips over her steps like all of us. She is beautiful, in her own way. she laughs loudly as her heart’s desire, she sneer like a crooked mad man, she sometimes act like a man, She is, like others, have both side of kindness, she doesn’t like EVERYONE, she hates like most of us do, and she has enemies of her own. Love is not something she gives away lightly.. she has her favourites, and favours over at the best of times.
But in His eyes, she has no flaws, in his eyes.. she is something far greater than life, kind in her own ways, and the most loving person he has ever experienced.
But we all know that what he feels are just something that he made up in his own mind.. She is just a normal person, he just don’t want it to be that way.. so when he sees her flaws, he cowars, when he noticed her ugly side he reeks, when he saw her unkindness he shivers… and the love that he onced taste turned bile.. he made up all these lies in his head saying she’s nothing like it.
So he tries to change the true image of her into what he envisioned.. lures her to do things he wants her to. And when all fails, he bailed on her.. leaving her alone in the darkness, without guidance.. There she was, alone, scared, saddened, in solitude.. trying so hard to find solace..
Only alone did He feels that he was truly lost. Starting to doubt every single steps that he had took.. looking around, beginning to realize that everyone and everything around him is a lie, a lie that he had created inside of himself.. so he decided to trace back every steps that he had took, back to where he had left her, back to Her..
When he reached that last place he had left her, she was gone.. sitting there in that empty space, dark and cold. She was so far to be found at the time.. and he was dumbfounded. Not knowing what is right or wrong..
He had lost her forever. But when he looked down on the floor. He saw himself. so clean and calm.. so serene, full of joy and inspiration. He saw himself, in her vision.. She had left what she knew about him.
And that was the end of an eternity.
p/s: if you want to see that person as he/she, who you used to know, change your perspective. And they might change.

Perubahan
Perubahan... sesuatu yang diinginkan/ditakuti. Perubahan dalam sistem, perubahan dalam hidup.. perubahan dalam seseorang. Adakalanya perubahan itu wajib, namun selalunya perubahan hanya membawa hampa, kemarahan, persengketaan..
Namun begitu, perubahan adalah perkara yang tidak akan dapat dielakkan kerana ianya berlaku pada setiap masa yang berlalu pergi. Hmm.. perubahan yang dihargai itu hanyalah bila terlahirnya perasaan kesal.. lucu. Mengapa setiap manusia itu akan hanya berubah apabila segalanya sudahpun terlambat. apabila kata-kata yang terlunjur tidak dapat ditarik balik, apabila kelakuan yang terkasar silapnya tidak dapat dimaafkan lagi.. apabila seseorang yang seharusnya BERUBAH hanya sedar selepas sampai hadnya.
Perubahan. Sesuatu yang tidak boleh dipaksa. mengubah sesuatu/seseorang bukan atas kerelaanya hanya akan mengubah cara/perasaan yang lain. Ianya bukan benda yang boleh ditegur mahupun yang boleh diarah.. namun bila dibiarkan sahaja nescaya tiada perubahan yang akan berlaku..
"Aku telah berubah, kerana aku mahu berubah.. Kau juga sudah berubah.. namun dalam PERUBAHAN itu, kau masih yang sama"
Hati-hati dengan apa yang diidamkan. Kerana apa yang diingini kadang-kalanya bukan apa yang akan diterima. PERUBAHAN, untuk kebaikan atau sebaliknya?. Sesal dahulu pendapatan, sesal kemudian terima sahaja akibatnya.

:: Joie de Vivre ::
It's been awhile since i updated my life.. well, here goes.
I'v been posting alot about my love life these past few months.. about my emotions (heh), well we're just being humans right?. it also shows that my better half plays quite a big role in my life story.. We share a fair deal of the relationship ups and downs, hmm.. ups and downs, the beauty of being in LOVE. it's not just about cupids and heart shape box full of chocolates and roses and what not. It's also about the occasional fights and quarrels and misunderstandings.. and about giving and taking, suggestions and comments (critics actually *geh)..
But all these are the fundamentals of a relationship. No one likes to argue/fight but it's not all that bad actually, it's an unconventional way of discovering and better understanding your partner.. Because life is not just about the happy moments, the i love yous, the happily ever after.. it's about knowing how to act, rather than to react on a different mood like for instance how to handle your woman when she's in her "down time", how to cool her down when she's all fired up.. and how to love her unconditionally. To be in love, is to put him/her before yourself. It's about willing to sacrifice, and most importantly it's about acceptance.. What you want or dream of having might not be the thing that you'll get, even when you strive for it (sometimes).. it's like that saying "what you see is what you'll get".
Well, sometimes it's hard to accept something that you don't quite like.. but if you're willing to comprehend.. it shows that you are truly in love.. I argue and quarrel and most of the time find it hard to communicate with my beloved. But that doesn't stop me from loving her more. Just look at this blog.. She inspires me to write about stuff.. She has given me reason to do better each day, to BE better each day.. she makes me smile, she makes me laugh, she could make me cry and she can REALLY make me mad.. and I love her for what she has done.
We're getting engaged this Sunday (13/06/10). I know the arguments won't stop even after all this.. but i know that i'd only appreciate her even more. To some of you, this post might be of gibberish or GAY even.. I'm just trying to appreciate her in a different angle/level/what ever you wanna label it. Everything could go wrong, but it's the risk i'm willing to take. because She's worth fighting for.
i'm about to begin a new phase in life.. and i'm having no doubts about everything that is decided.
I'm excited.
and i know, she is too.

Berlayar Bersama Hati Yang Lara~
i really really want to write something meaningful.. but somehow i'v lost that inspiration. I'm alone, not really alone.. but i feel that i'm alone. ever since i was a child, maybe until the day i die.. who knows, who really knows.. things that you think might not happen to you, WOULD eventually.. you can never be too careful. you might never be so brave. I'm alone, not really alone.. but i feel so alone.
my heart longs for someone that understands.. yet this complication in me welcomes none of interest.
I'm alone, not really alone.. but i feel so alone..
I'm left out. they'v tuned-out.
I'm alone, maybe i am.. actually...
alone. :'(

What Ever It TAKES!
try and touch my belongings.. i'll crush your head flat to the ground. Don't even try and break me 'cos i bring you HELL!.. I've played fair, and fair is how i expect to be treated.. If any of these lowlifes even try to destroy my happiness.. then i'll choke 'em to death with my bear hands, or even with the soles of my feet.
You fuckers you had your chance.. now i expect you to back off peacefully. I only offer you sincerity once, but try and take advantage of my kindness then I'll effin' rip your mouth open. So wide that i'd break your jaw off and feed it to the dogs!
Kalau mereka ingin bermain kasar. Kekasaranlah apa yang mereka akan terima. Test a man's pride one too many time, the beast that you unleashed will not be tamed with words. Muka kau!.. layak berada di tapak kaki aku sj. sebab kau dan kau dan kau berperangai seperti anjing!
don't take me for fun.. I see, i feel and i'll apply. jangan buat main. please.

My Mata Hari.
I want to run away to Bali and live by the sea,
where the sun sets in the horizon, as she sets by me.
to feel her warm embrace, tomorrow she shines free..
she cares for me and let me be
whenever I'm alone.. she will surely be by me.
I want to live in Phuket.. and watch my sun set.
say our goodbyes, until tomorrow we met.
to leave my frowns in the ocean it will drown.
my sun tells me "love, live each day with no regrets"
my feelings grow weary, my Mata Hari she's angry,
for i sometimes neglect her, when i feel tired and thirsty.
i care for her, and comfort her dearly,
yet she sear my skin she burns me deeply.
"stop this love, you're hurting me truly",
I am only human.. i make mistakes unintentionally
i admit my wrong doings.. eventho those wrongs are silly
but you are my Mata Hari.. my one my only.
My Mata Hari she loves me sincerely this i know,
but my feelings she hurts, what she reaps she might never sew.
I need her warmth and i can't live without her glow,
so wherever my Mata Hari sets.. then there is where i must go.

My Affection. My Strength.
You are the reason that I'm smiling nowadays,
you are the reason that i feel good in every way.
You are the reason that I'm looking forward for tomorrow,
you are the reason I forget all my sorrows.
You are my strength, you are my sun.
You come first compared to none.
I don't know how to live without you now..
So I'll make you mine and we'd live together... forever, no matter how.

Embedded in our minds.
Had the best time yesterday night. Went out with a very special woman, on a very special occasion.. to a very special place. :)
It was my 1st real "date" since the last 5 years i'v been single. So i tend to make the best out of it, and (even to my surprise) it went really great. bought her chocolates and tried to buy her some flowers but tulips are meant for pre-orders (means you can't just walk in and buy if from the florist) should have settled with roses.. but i just feel that roses are over-rated and she deserves something special.. (look up what tulips means, google sayang kamu). Drove up to Singapore for the very 1st time, figuring out which way to go, which turn to take.. luckily i didn't lose my cool. but nothing could go wrong if i'm with her (really?.. really!) Didn't know that you'd only be charged S$5 flat on ERP (for foreign cars, and maybe on weekends only). so we decided to park our car at Bugis MRT and take a cab instead.
Had dinner at Thai Express @ Esplanade.. not bad, but the environment was off. Wanted to bring her to a quiet, candle light dinner to set up the mood.. but knowing only that this restaurant offers halal food so we had to settle for it.. goofed and laughed alot (quality times), even the waitresses were friendly.. so it was kinda nice. Afterward we took a quick stroll down to the banks of the Singapore river.. human-infested, Dang! really need a quiet spot to talk.. so i decided to take her for a ride on the Singapore Flyer. Expensive, but worth every second of our experience.
The lighting was just nice, environment/scenery was superb but the music that was playing?.. major turnoff! yet we still managed to get intimate.. we spoke our hearts content, got connected with each other seriously.. and i must say the chemistry that time? PERFECT!.. this, was an one-off experience that (i really hafta say) the both of us would remember for as long as we live..
look at how the day went.. there were some things that occasionally went wrong but we still managed to enjoy the night without any complaints.. I really wish that we could do this again, and i'm hoping that this experience would progress to something more serious. Because she's the reason that i'm smiling nowadays.. and i couldn't imagine myself living without her.
the night was so magical that i didn't even feel tired.. sent her home, at 1am (sorry aunty, uncle :D ) and she "salam" me the way that (for malays) a wife/younger person respects a husband/older person.. (look it up, google sayang kamu).. I couldn't ask for a better night than this one. a picture perfect moment.. every second of if.
Thanks dear, for being so "perfect" in my eyes. :)

understanding. understatement.
if you need space, i'd give you the universe.
when you need time, i'd give you eternity.
so you need kindness, i'll give you love & care.
but if you need me to leave, then i'll cease to exist.
i give you all, and i only ask for understanding.
but you push me away, so i'll go as far as anyone has ever gone before.
all.. for the price of just wanting to understand.

I'm Unpredictable.. and i'm always the one in the middle
sometimes i don't understand myself.. *hmpfh, been trying to understand the surroundings, people around me yet i don't understand myself, how my mind works.. what's the meaning of the feelings that i'm having. I can make people laugh/smile whenever i want to.. but happiness is what i always seek.. never seem to find it no matter where i look.
Am i destined to be alone?, is this what god has planned for me?. To me.. i feel like happiness is something that i can't afford. or at least on a regular basis.. i smile, i get to smile every once in a blue moon.. yes. But whenever i get to smile, this "thing" that made me smile would just be taken away in an instance leaving me empty yet again.. It's in my nature (no matter how i hate it to be true every now and then) to show kindness and gratitude.. to "share" that burden so that "they" could smile again.. It's not that i portray this character as if like to show people that i'm a good-guy. It's just who i am.. and yes, it's true nice guys DO finish last. I just don't understand why.. don't even understand what's the purpose of all this.. maybe i make people happy so that i could feel happy for a bit.. maybe.. maybe the reason i'm helping people is to just to feel good about myself.. maybe.. maybe all this effort is just a lie.. a lie to myself.. who knows, maybe i was born to be a bad person but someone forgot to tell me this.. so here i am being who i'm not.. maybe that's why i'm never happy.. at least long enough to feel that it's real..
and whenever i get to be happy.. I'll find out that i'm actually in a mess.. always in the middle.. cleaning up shit.. showering the sadness with being kind and showing gratitude.. giving constant moral support hoping that they would realize that.. maybe it's me who they are looking for.. (heh). people tend to ignore what they have under their noses until it's all gone.. i dunno what to believe. i'd like to believe in love.. but it's never been there for me.
I've felt alone since i was a child.. maybe i'm so comfortable living like this that i really don't know how to not feel alone.. what's not feeling alone feels like? i dunno.. never got the chance to experience such a thing.. i'm always the one in the middle of a mess.. always trying to resolve things.. for everyone.. always the one with the answer..
"hey babe, you remember we always say that to never ignore things.. to always tell what you feel?.. well, i think i hafta ignore you now.. 'cos i feel that i'm falling in love with you.. and it's eating me inside knowing that the heart that i seek, is own by someone else"
I hope she understands.. here's hoping (to god almighty) that she'd realize this sooner than later that the happiness that she's hoping for is right here standing in front of her.. standing.. on the edge of summer.
"I love you babe, forgive me" :(

my first BJJ experience
A friend and I decided to take up martial arts, as a new hobby.. since that there's nothing new in life.. always fancied Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) so i guess i just give it a try.. went to fight G at Clarke quay and this girl (who looks a little bit like Wong Li Lin but with a lean body and walks with a swagger-SO HOT!) told us to come-by next time for a free trial session (since that we arrived quite late).
My friend persuaded me to take up Muay Thai with him but I'm not much of a striker/stand-up kinda guy so, maybe next time.. would like to give BJJ a try first. It was on Thursday night (after OT) that we went back to the gym for our complimentary trial session.. was so exited since that I've always wanted to take up BJJ.. reached there at 8pm, got changed and waited for the session to start..
Warm-up was ok, usual stuff, then they stepped up the pace doing conditioning exercises.. at this point everything was so fast paced that i felt the burn straight away.. panting, sweat started to break and adrenalin pumped so hard.. usually I'd feel this way when i workout like 30mins++ or more but this was like only 10mins in.. whoa?.. everyone else was like so relaxed that it made me look so ridiculous.. panting away like i just sprinted down a very long hall.
So my first lesson on BJJ was passing guard.. the instructor showed us how to make a transition from full guard to side control, full guard to back mount from underneath and another move that i couldn't recall.. so, after practicing some of the moves that he just showed us, we started sparring for 4 full mins.. at this point i started feeling nauseous and hot.. first up was passing guard from north-south position (keep in mind that this was my first time ever in any kind of martial art and i only know shit) eventually they told me what i should do so it was not that hard at all.. but my stamina at this point was drained out completely so it was really hard to do sweeps and stuff.. after the 4min session ended i straight away headed to the cooler to buy myself a drink or i'd pass out right then and there. staggered down the stairs nearly falling fished out my wallet from the bag in the locker and downed a hundred plus like 30secs flat.. seriously, i felt like there's nothing harder than BJJ at that time.. headed back to the mat but had to lie down (the instructor told me to) while my legs was perched on a stool.. my sugar level was drained and i almost dehydrated myself.
Each session consist of warm-ups, conditioning, some BJJ demonstration, and 4mins of sparring session for 4 rounds on different jiu variations and warm-downs.. i think i only managed to stay in the first half of the session feeling completely conscious. Eventually though i managed to survived the whole session without throwing up, YEAY!.
but the next day was the hardest day. my whole body ached from my neck straight down to my thighs. And i forgot to mention that we had to do 30min of full push-ups and 30min of crunches after each intervals of sparring round.
like what i posted on my facebook shoutout. this experience was HELLISH, INTENSE and (almost) LIFE THREATENING! but i can't wait for the next session.. and it's on this coming Monday..
p/s: my body is still aching all over. (-_- ")

So my first lesson on BJJ was passing guard.. the instructor showed us how to make a transition from full guard to side control, full guard to back mount from underneath and another move that i couldn't recall.. so, after practicing some of the moves that he just showed us, we started sparring for 4 full mins.. at this point i started feeling nauseous and hot.. first up was passing guard from north-south position (keep in mind that this was my first time ever in any kind of martial art and i only know shit) eventually they told me what i should do so it was not that hard at all.. but my stamina at this point was drained out completely so it was really hard to do sweeps and stuff.. after the 4min session ended i straight away headed to the cooler to buy myself a drink or i'd pass out right then and there. staggered down the stairs nearly falling fished out my wallet from the bag in the locker and downed a hundred plus like 30secs flat.. seriously, i felt like there's nothing harder than BJJ at that time.. headed back to the mat but had to lie down (the instructor told me to) while my legs was perched on a stool.. my sugar level was drained and i almost dehydrated myself.
Each session consist of warm-ups, conditioning, some BJJ demonstration, and 4mins of sparring session for 4 rounds on different jiu variations and warm-downs.. i think i only managed to stay in the first half of the session feeling completely conscious. Eventually though i managed to survived the whole session without throwing up, YEAY!.
but the next day was the hardest day. my whole body ached from my neck straight down to my thighs. And i forgot to mention that we had to do 30min of full push-ups and 30min of crunches after each intervals of sparring round.
like what i posted on my facebook shoutout. this experience was HELLISH, INTENSE and (almost) LIFE THREATENING! but i can't wait for the next session.. and it's on this coming Monday..
p/s: my body is still aching all over. (-_- ")

The Finest Things in Life Are in Dreams :)
Had the best dream in my whole entire life last night. i dreamt about being at an Incubus concert somewhere i don't know. Was watching them performing live and enjoying every moment of it. Cheering, shouting, singing along to every song that they were performing.. And then there was this segment in thier concert where they actually invite some random kid out of the crowd to play with them live. And i was invited on-stage! the feeling that i felt (in the dream was unimaginable.. almost euphoria).. so (in this dream) i walked up onstage and they handed me this percussion where i would actually stand beside Brandon Boyd.. they asked me to introduce myself, shook my hand and announced the music that they were gonna perform and told me to just wing it (freestyle). At this moment i was so nervous that i just stood still when they started playing.
Brandon smiled at me and told me to "just play".. and when i started to drum on the percussion the whole crowd started to cheer. eventually i did great. They liked my style, invited me back stage and offered to record a song with me. what else should i say but "Hell Yes!" right.. i mean, this is Incubus-one of my biggest fav. band ever!. next thing i remembered was being in a van to Nevada to another location of thier concert.
And then i woke up. Even tho i didn't get to dream recording that song with Incubus, i still had a great time (dreaming) jamming with them live. just couldn't believe i'd get to dream this dream.. the beauty of Ramadhan.. M blessed. (^_^ )

Tatkala Hati Merindu
Pejamkan mata dan bayangkannya
hadirlah ia di hati bersua
kenangkan masa pabila bersama
bersenyumlah puas dengan apa yang ada.
kadang-kalanya yand dicari sudah jumpa
tetapi hati berlenga-lengah bersahaja..
sedarlah bahawa langit hanya penuh dengan impian
pandanglah ke bumi pulanglah ke nyata.
langkahmu perlahan bagai tiada hala
hatimu tenang seolah tiada rasa.
tatkala hati sudah merindu
madahlah dengan kata-kata bermadu.
hadirlah ia di hati bersua
kenangkan masa pabila bersama
bersenyumlah puas dengan apa yang ada.
kadang-kalanya yand dicari sudah jumpa
tetapi hati berlenga-lengah bersahaja..
sedarlah bahawa langit hanya penuh dengan impian
pandanglah ke bumi pulanglah ke nyata.
langkahmu perlahan bagai tiada hala
hatimu tenang seolah tiada rasa.
tatkala hati sudah merindu
madahlah dengan kata-kata bermadu.

Reminiscence - somehow i've lost myself somewhere
It's been awhile since i posted anything on this site.. if only I have any substancial matter to record.. truth is, I'm not myself. Not since KL. I noticed that i changed alot ever since i moved back to my hometown. Tried to leave everything behind.. and i guess i did. My past, friends, places i used to go to.. and a little bit of myself. Tried writing again.. but can't think of anything to write about these days.. not to say that each day i live is not important, but i don't feel the excitement.. always told myself to challenge the day ahead.. but there's nothing.. just plain, simple, go-to-work-and-back-day.. maybe that's why I always find the need to go out and PARTAY every now and then..
I'm getting tired of all these nonsense.. i need an inspiration. Desperately need a challenge. I feel that I'm capable of doing wonders.. but i wonder what can i do?.. What can i do?..
tiba-tiba teringat serangkap lagu by yuna "We question what we are, this i spend the best so far".. such truth in just a simple phrase.. I'm glad that I'm still alive.. but am not looking forward for tomorrow.. eventually we all have to live our lives to the fullest..
So let's just do what we feel like..shall we? fill that half-empty life with things that would excite ouselves.. something that we cld always look back to and laugh about, tell stories of.. argue.. discuss. let's just live life and remember every little things.. for our generations to come.
I'll come back to that place where i left a little part of me.. someday. And i know that i'll be whole again. :)

lost?
i feel uninvited, i'm uninspired, unimpressed with last year's experience... i step into the new year unresolutionised.. i don't even care if there's no such words.. there is now. i don't intend to change anything because i'm unorganised.. unfocused.. i need inspiration to continue to smile and look forward to tomorrow. because today will go by unchallenged. i'm understating myself not because i give up.. just unenergised to keep glory. i don't care if this post speaks of gibberish.. or wether it is unjustified.. i dodn't make you read this, you chose to bore yourself (if not to death).. you may not want to finish reading.. but you're curious of what's happening next. congratulation. you just made an effort to seek. think out of the norm. that box is starting to fill up, full?. i'm famished.

Start Anew
Let's revert to being normal. shit happens so look alive. It's about taking chances. do what you feel without second guessing yourself. analysis leads to paralysis, so to speak. i took the leap. and now i'm left hanging. let's just sweep it all under the rug. or rather recycle it or shit. y'all have been walking for far too long. let's pick up the pace, let's run. life's too short and too serious.. so make the best, go make yourself.
it's been aeon since i last updated this shit-forsaken blog.. didn't even bother to. no one ever drop by. for what even?.. nothing of substance, just trash.
let's pick up the pace, let's run. take chances. regret the choices that you've made along the way if you must. IF YOU MUST. but dust yourself off and run again.
Shit happens. So look Alive!

sarcasm
It's a way that i've adopted (apart form being a johorean). Being sarcastic. It's not to boast of greatness but rather challenging myself to be less ignorant of what's happening today, keeping myself in-check. I, for one, do not have a nasty sense of humor but rather lame (at times). I am not an anti-social, just SHY.. i am rather friendly (so i was told) that most of my peers befriend me - for benafits.. No, i'm not a rich & spoiled kid who lives in a mansion on top of a hill and drives a freakin' buggati..
ME. A kind hearted warm red blooded human being, or in other words "The nice guy who finishes last". Why am i that kinda person? GOD's will. I'll give you that.. it has been this way ever since i could remember. Maybe because of the way i was brought up inot this world (or that my mother had always wanted one of her sons to become a religious guru)..
so.. sarcasm, it's a way of me being who i am without caring what ppl think of me.. like flashing the middle finger in your face without doing it exactly. because "to each, his own" so please.. don't let this front fool u.. stop being judgemental and actually start reading the whole book.. i'm not bright.. but i'm a self proclaimed smart ass! you might think that it's stupid.. until you really understand.

All Is Doomed!
I've been inspired by some bloggers by thier postings in the perfect format of the "bahasa ibunda" so i tought i'd put up a post in "bahasa"... but all of the sudden I found it quite hard. What happened? I mean i do converse in "bahasa" all the time.. so it should not be a problem.... right?.
It hit me then.. "THEY" have actually taken over the world without people noticing... winning over our votes, our minds, our culture... everything! BLAME MTV BLAME AMERICAN IDOL BLAME REALITY TV shows all you people are being brainwashed they are winning wars untill there's nothing but THEM (in all of us!).. should we not do anything about this?..
which leads to another thing.. here's the scenario :
I was with a friend walking around at GAP (the clothing store) and he told me that this particular brand is funding the jewish (go figure..) and probably thier war as well.. and i actually told him
"yeah, so what? whoever gives a $#i+.." (i actually said that!)..
and he said "well, actually i do!"...
but do we actually do care about this matter? if so why are we drinking coca-cola instead? why are we chain-smoking ciggarets like dunhill or marlboro or what not...? well we said we matter about this issue.. but why can't we resist all these brands that are funding the war? we are actually paying for those bullets that killed all those innocent people.. and we say we care..
hell we can't even write in proper bahasa melayu let alone care about the world... we do actually think about changing the way the world works.. we actually do think about changing how the system works.. we do actually tell ourselves that we care about what matters most.. but we never (just) do anything about it..
why?
because "THEY" have actually won! it's just a matter of realising it.. time to wake up! and retrack our steps.. because we are all drifting away.. because when the time is TOO LATE?.. we might be killing each other.....
...until there's only "THEM"

Now Entering Cyberia
(Population: Zero)
A Note on the Medium
Due to your vague interest in these matters which have been deemed antisocial by the new thought police, you have been exiled to Cyberia. You may believe your visit to be voluntary, but ask yourself: if you could live—in real time, in full color, without a 'net'—the revolt and transformation you fantasize about, would you be here, contemplating and trading in mere representations of such things? The new isolation chambers and interrogation rooms largely need no judicial procedures or law enforcement to fill them—we confine ourselves to these office cubicles, internet cafes, and lonely bedrooms willingly, even believing ourselves to have found access to our dreams and desires here.
Not to criticize you, of course—since obviously I am in the same situation as you, similarly self-exiled. But let's use this time in the wilderness as the political prisoners of old did: not to get accustomed to it, not to build new lives around this voluntary amputation, but to educate ourselves, increase our powers and connections, so when we can return to society we will be armed with new tools for dismantling and reconceiving it. Let us take the world itself back, rather than the "information superhighways" upon which we are being herded so quickly away from it, so one day there will be no need for anyone to return here besides misguided historians and other archeologists of the cursed graveyards of the past.
