When you do not have a particular topic, what do you call it?

Hmm I'm guessing that people like to call such posts "rants". But rants are posts which lack content, as opposed to what I am about to post, which will have content from all over the damn place.

First up. I think I like basketball a lot more than soccer. I probably like my soccer kaki-s more, but I like the basketball GAME a lot more. I just play basketball a lot better than I play soccer. Yeah it's probably to do with my physique and yadah yadah, well don't start pulling out the hate-sticks because I just said I like to play basketball more, I didn't say "I'm the awesomest basketballer there is" or whatever.

I play a more cerebral game. I approach a game of basketball not too differently from a game of chess. It's all about being mentally sharp and focused. A lot of my game revolves around movement, getting myself into a position where I can line up a sweet jumper. And believe me, my jump shots have been SWEET :D

Well, in comparison to how I normally fare, anyway. I know I've improved quite a bit, though, which is good! Thoroughly enjoyed my 2.5 hours of basketball today, although I was supposed to be at the gym. Oh well. My arms are still aching from my previous visit anyway. I'll go on Thursday. Important to de-stress after all that no-lifer studying!

I think I am going to stop with my Moments for now. I am probably naturally gifted with an effortless ability to roll awesome melodies off my fingers, but my accompaniment is invariably shit. It gets very frustrating when I can't play anything other than an arpeggios to accompany my melody. I am going to stop because I am truly sick of it. And of all my songs, there are a few which are especially sentimental.Those are my favourite pieces and I feel quite disheartened to only chance upon Moments of such quality only occasionally. Of course, my favourite pieces ALL have arpeggios accompaniment too, and that kinda sucks. I'm going to spend a couple of years learning Theory of Music before I attempt to compose again. I wanna try the cool stuff like chordal, Monophonic, homophonic, Alberti's, and... Contrapunto! I want to learn to compose some of the music I love :)

Well recently there was a real controversy for me on Facebook. Nevermind the first part. That's settled already. My SC was maligned, so I defend my juniors and my fellow ex-SCs. Then I had this "righteous" Ghost of SC Past come along and shit his pants trying to prove me wrong. And what? Based on stuff he experienced in school when I was still in like Lower Primary. Sigh I didn't wanna say that to him (I don't even remember his name anymore) because I think everyone deserves at least a minimum amount of respect, but I think I can't be blamed for thinking: How, by Paganini's fingers, is his experience relevant? C'mon la, I mean ok you come back and help your CCA and shit, but you know nuts about what goes on in the school beyond your CCA now, since you're no longer a student, so zip it and stop being an asshole.

It totally helped that he kept nit-picking at what I typed and he had great fun twisting the meaning of my words to make me look like an arrogant asshole. I almost want to applaud him because it's been such a long time since I've come across anyone half as good at bullshitting.

I mean, I know very fucking well that you don't declare yourself good, it's other people that rate you as "good". I totally needed him to teach me that, because I was too stupid to learn that myself in 2 years of experience in leadership roles. And it was really icing on the cake that this faceless mentor was very much a nameless student throughout his life. Ahh, the ironies of life! Not to say that there's anything wrong with that, but there IS something wrong when such a person tries to be bigger than he is, which is honestly not very big.

Lastly. I am coming to terms with how some people just aren't worth it. People prove themselves over time, and over time, the dazzle on certain people does indeed fade away and you see them for the ordinary (which is a nice way to say "mediocre", since mediocre means average) person that they are. I find ALL of my friends extraordinary in some way, as a matter of fact, although some are more extraordinary to me than others. The day the last vestiges of your dazzle fade away, is the day I see that you're not a friend worth keeping, since you do not bring anything special. And you, yes you, are very ordinary indeed, I see that now. STILL thoroughly disappointing, especially when in comparison with my initial, flawed impression. Sigh. I think it can be said that I do not care for this certain person's friendship anymore. Do what you will, I couldn't feel less hurt or angry.

LOL sorry that I had to end with a sad tone. Oh well, 'tis but a tiny blemish in a life for which the bright, radiant sun is the best analogy.

(HEHEHEH I COULDN'T RESIST IT I JUST HAD TO END WITH A CHIM-OLOGY)
