In the middle of a supposed "Assignement"

So here we are, into 2013 and right about now everyone is scrambling to start/implement their new years resolution.
In the meantime, here I am three days away from an assignment submission, listening to songs and contemplating the deeper meaning of life, while my assignment is wallowing away and I am nowhere close to finishing it.
They honestly should consider removing tertiary education from the face of this earth, I mean how many people go into depression all because they did not get the grades they wanted or the fact that they couldn't get into a really good university.
If you ask me, I think it's an infringement upon my human rights. Want to know why I think that? well, it is a form of mental trauma which has been intentionally inflicted on us, which inadvertently means that it's a form of mental torture. But unfortunately the current human right do not recognize mental trauma.........or at least i don't think so.
But just imagine if it was recognized and having the pressure put on you to pass exams is recognized as an infringement upon human rights, imagine the number of court files which would be filed.
That would definetly be the day the world is going to end.
But sometimes it makes me wonder just how much pressure we get to succeed in life and quite frankly it's frustrating and annoying. The amount of pressure you get also varies geographically because trust me asians are being driven to succeed from their very young days.
Like anything else though it has it's pros and cons
the pros being
  • you are motivated to succeed no matter what
  • the more pressure sometimes, the better rate of success 
  • and that's about it I can think of pros 
the cons are
  • you go through an emotional hell 
  • you tend to miss out on the small things in life
  • sometimes, no social life
  • when you grow old you wonder where the years went, oh right trying to be a success 
 so yeah as I said there are pros and cons.

Junko Furuta

Junko Furuta was just another teenager living an ordinary life, worrying about exams, dates, boys etc. However, she faced one of the most gruesome, inhumane deaths in the fall of 1989. In the fall of 1989 Junko was abducted by four boys of her age and held captive in the house of one of the abductors. In order to avoid suspicion the captors made her call her parents and inform them that she had run away and was staying over at a friends place. Her days held as a captive before her death were even termed as 44 days of hell, during this time period she underwent unfathomable methods of torture and rape. Junko Furuta Her days of hell started off with: DAY 1: November 22, 1988: Kidnapped Kept captive in house, and posed as one of boy’s girlfriend Raped (over 400 times in total) Forced to call her parents and tell them she had run away Starved and malnutrition Fed cockroaches to eat and urine to drink Forced to masturbate Forced to strip in front of others B...

Back At It

Ok so looks like I've been M.I.A for the past three years....just wow....but fear not, I am making a come back but not in the oh-so-politically correct way that I used to post.  Oh no, I've been inspired by the Sex Life TV series on Netflix and also partly by the delicious, very adult, very erotic blog of The Great Cock Hunt . If you haven't checked it you better check it - there's even a show about it. It's fabulous, it's sensational and to be honest it will great you worked up in no time (if you're into the cock on cock action that is).  Anyway circling back to my own story, I thought I'd take a walk down memory lane and start some recollection of the sex history (wait, did I just say sex history? My younger-self would be utterly mortified but I'm in my late twenties and have learnt over the years not the be prudish).  So here we go...one....two...three...... I am gay. My first realisation of me being gay dawned pretty early on to be honest....I al...

Is It All Worth It? (2)

Continuation from my previous post... After reading the story, it got me thinking if this is what life is all about? The same cycle that everyone routinely follows. The first phase of the cycle is being born, growing up, studying so that you could reach great heights some day. The whole while you are studying for exams, try to beat the other kid who got higher marks than you did last time. The second phase of the cycle is finding a job trying to settle into the slow pace of the thing we call life, we get up in the morning to go to work and then come back home in the evening, almost everyday. The third phase of the cycle is getting married and then having kids, still you get up early in the morning to go to work so that you could support your family. Sometimes disputes arise between your spouse and then before you know your children have married. the fourth phase is where you retire, have grandchildren and try to live the rest of your life at a very slow pace and eventually you die...
