“‘Baka ginagawa lang na sacrificial lamb si Corpuz sa ngayon, and later he would be rewarded with a higher position in military when the issue against him and Reyes dies down. Kaya sa akin, half baked din itong action ng President sa resignation ni Corpuz,’ he said.” … if we’re going to translate something, lets [...]
Such a strange world we live in. Now, in great American fashion, you can bet on terrorist events and middle-eastern assassinations. No wonder people around the world hate us. How would we react if there were one of these systems against America? Would people stand by as odds were put on the destruction of San [...]
Naj implores me to update my blog. Perhaps he doesn’t realize that I’ve been in the mountains for the past few days, cut off from the world of digital madness and electronic immediacy. (is something that is immediate lacking in media, just as someone illiterate is lacking in literature?) Anyway, I love going to the [...]

One of the most notable aspects of this skepticism is the troubling reality that we, as a species, really haven’t figured things out. Almost daily, I hear of some discovery or revelation that sort of makes me think, “why [...]
So I can’t keep a deal with myself, as proven by my morning jaunt to Starbucks. Eh, there’s worse things to be hooked on, right?
Score one for the universities, whom are standing up to the RIAA in court. Perhaps a new age of common sense will prevail, forcing the RIAA to look up ‘privacy’ in [...]
Over lunch, I couldn’t help but overhear the oddly-dressed man adjacent to me ranting to his companion about the rampant commercialism of America. His blue shoes and vest spoke volumes of his staunch position against the mainstream. “All I’m a-sayin’ is that we’s got brotha’s dyin’ over in I-raq, and you see that woman? She [...]
So I have these songs from Mel Brooks’ “History of the World Part I” stuck in my head (”Auto da fay? What’s an auto da fay?”), which I guess is better than having something else stuck in my head, say, like someone else’s tongue. The previous link comes courtesy of Google News, which, in the [...]
Well, I suppose it’s good to know that the courts recognize that guns are not racist. Perhaps later on, we’ll get into other important race issues, like why paper is white and roads are black.
Anyway, it’s also good to know that soon I’ll be able to have a visa card that earns me free starbucks [...]
