Of All Things Boring and Uneventful

If there’s such a thing as a two-week blogging/Facebook sabbatical, I just took it. Mostly because I knew I would’ve been too busy to afford distractions (but such idiocy! I should’ve known that there are at least 999,999,998 other types of distractions out there, in the Internet or otherwise), but also because I needed to sort things out. The kind of sorting not unlike egg shells in scrambled eggs; in this case, my brain are the shells and the eggs are the convoluted mess of everything else.

It’s about setting things aside so I won’t end up eating myself. That would’ve been problematic.

Now it’s simply back to that self-promise of writing something every day; big or small or pointless or nonsensical. And also how I long I could stick to it before another 2-week sabbatical.

I might’ve been abusing that word.

I would’ve liked to say that I have something to great to report, but things were as uneventful as life’s monotony would allow, though we did get to go on a yacht for an event. It was a nice yacht, but it was too hot to stay on deck and it wasn’t technically on sail. The Port Klang waters could barely hold a breeze and there weren’t any pirates. But I doubt any pirates would have interest in a yacht with a huge OKI sail hung limp on the mast (they probably wouldn’t want to offend the Japanese. I mean, where would they get Sushi?).

Oh, and there was a Bloggers and Social Media Conference. It would’ve been more interesting if they hadn’t made it feel like it was made for people wanting to make money with blogs and social media, though in the few instances where they didn’t, the talks were highly interesting. And our 4th Prime Minister was there. He didn’t spare much mercy making jabs at everything. Mostly it was political. But I was very distracted whenever he said the word Nasty. He used it a lot.

It was 2 days worth of conferencing, stuck in a chair with no desk (the media section, in all its exclusiveness, were not given a table), trying hard to stay awake at every business-oriented talk (and Kenny Sia’s juvenile presentation), and drawing shamelessly on the 2008 notebook calendar. I looked like a kid stuck in a boring classroom.

I probably was.

Give a listen to this;

If it’s somehow stuck in your head, or if you actually replayed the song just to keep listening over and over again, then I can decide that I haven't gone completely bonkers.

Oh no no, I’ve not be completely bonkers, like, ever. Just partially insane. Two different things altogether.

(On the other hand, Spectacular Spider-Man has to be the best animated Spider-Man since the '94 series. I might not have watched or read a lot of Spidey, but this series is made of win).
