Ranting post ahead. This is your first, and only warning. If you don't want to read it, then do not go ahead. If you choose to read it, then I gave you appropriate warning, and you CHOSE to go ahead and read it. In that case, don't come and tell me to take it down because you think it's insensitive or whatever shit. You chose to read it, that pretty much says you think it's alright. If you don't want to read it, click the big red X at the top right hand corner. If you choose to read on, I better not see any stupid comments like 'it's too harsh' and 'take it down.' Everyone has a choice to read the blogpost or not. If you know it's going to be something flaming, then don't fricking read it. If you do, then drink a big cup of shut the hell up and just read it and think about it. So to those certain people who tell me that my blog flames others too much, you better not read it and spare me the bullshit of being told to take it down. If you think it's insensitive, non-christian like and non-leaderish, don't read it. It's not like you didn't see this warning.

















After Wrixon died, everyone's posting messages like 'rest in peace' and 'god bless him' and 'R.I.P Fellow Victorian' which I think is just shit lah. I bet half the people don't even really care. It's not even about it being the thought that counts because what's the point of pretending that you care enough to give 'condolences'.

Face it. Most of them just pretend to care because everyone else is doing it. All of them with that faux-sad simpering messages of care and concern. I'm not minimizing Wrixon's death, and I do think it's a shame, because he's Band's Student Conductor, which actually has significance. I leave that statement for those who can think.

I'm just irritated by everyone 'desecrating' his memory by pretending to care just so they don't look like insensitive people. Because pretending to care is really so much better. Only the stupid people can't tell who cares and who doesn't. The ones who do think about it, and what they can learn from it. The ones who don't put stupid messages in their MSN, pretend to be all sad and shit.

Since when was it cool to fake concern? Look at Steve Irwin. I bet you half the people who had that turtle in their MSN ID never even watched the fucking show. Yet I see like three-quarters of my MSN contacts with that goddamn turtle in the front, saying how much they miss Steve Irwin and all that shit and it's the true loss. Yeah well bitches if you actually cared you would have watched the show. What? You don't watch the show but you think it's a loss to humanity? Guess what. Stop faking. You didn't care enough about animals, you didn't care about Steve Irwin and you most certainly don't fucking care enough to honestly mourn his death. That's like me saying that if my neighbour down the road dies I would be very sad.

Hell no. I wouldn't give a damn. I've never spoken to him, and I bet none of you have ever spoken to Steve Irwin. I never had ANY form of interaction with him, beside sight, and I bet that's the case for most people and Steve Irwin. So if I don't care about someone who lives down the road for me and I've never spoken to him, I honestly doubt half the people bemoaning his death actually give a damn. If you think putting turtles because everyone else is doing it is trendy, then say so.

Another thing I recently realized I absolutely abhor is when people tell me 'if everyone did their best' or 'if everyone put in effort' then 'everything will be fine.'

Yeah well guess what. IF I darkened my skin tone, underwent extensive plastic surgery and were filthy rich, I'd be Halle Berry.

You can tell me that IF people did this and that and IF people were hardworking and everything, then everything would be fine. You could sit there telling me that until the cows come home and I explode from hearing your repetitive bullshit and nothing would get done.

Because IF is not Reality. This is REALITY. I don't fucking care IF all the members of band or an orchestra were to put in their effort, it would be good. Anyone can fucking tell me IF. The beggar on the street can, the business man in the suit can. It doesn't take ANYTHING to tell me IF something were this way, it would turn out that way.

But Reality says that they aren't, and therefore results aren't satisfactory. And guess what, REALITY WINS. BECAUSE THIS IS REALITY. So you can tell me a million and one fucking IF scenarios and in the end if nothing is done, NOTHING IS DONE.

Sometimes I hate faith and religion. Because some people just LOVE to say 'OH I"LL TRUST IN GOD/BUDDHA/ALLAH/WHATEVER AND HE WILL TAKE ME THROUGH THIS.' Yes it sounds very righteous and pious and everything and guess what it's also about as fucking fake as Voldemort's nose. If you truly believed in your God, and I'm sure no God tells his disciples 'BE FAT LAZY BUMS OR BE PUNISHED" , then you would be actually doing something. Not even half-heartedly doing things that QUITE OBVIOUSLY don't work like scolding and incredible motivational talks. NO bitch! You would be empowered by your faith to give it everything you've got. You would put in as much effort as possible, because Gods don't help followers who are lazy bums.

I also don't understand this whole system of dismissal due to apparent good effort. What, so now we'll let them go because they're good? Sorry, because they're APPARENTLY good. And the next day they come back and you wonder 'WHY IS IT SO CRAPPY NOW.' Well, MAYBE because you decided that since they were SO FUCKING FANTASTIC that they deserve the break and should thus go home and rest. And not practise. Again, IF they practised at home, then it's still fine. Reality check: They don't. Or this problem would not have taken SO LONG to be resolved. You want to make sure the standard is really good? Make them continue. If they can maintain that standard for a substantial amount of time, then at least that says something. True quality is not something that dwindles with time. True quality isn't lost because they didn't practise.

'Then Linus, why are you talking about it then? Didn't you just say true quality isn't lost because they didn't practise?'

Yar I did. I also said true quality. You can go and think about whether practising an instrument for 3 days gives you true quality. If it does, go shoot yourself.



Blah. Ok, end of rant. Looking forward to CHURCH tomorrow, where I can refill my faith meter which has been exhausted by all the fucking stupidity going on around me. Going to talk to Yang En about some...things tomorrow. Hope I get my message through.

And another reminder: Do not put stupid tags. If you read this far, do not tell me things like 'take it down.' I will ignore it and delete it, and I will not give a damn after that. So don't waste my time with your stupidity.
