mind bogging day

Been trying to take my mind of things... planning activities back to back, reading documents and articles late into the night, been blogging a whole lot more than i usually do... been looking forward to booking in to indulge in a world devoid of emotions and troubles... been really busy in camp lately... really takes your mind off things when you're worn out. That's me being gay again, but its never like me to discuss the daily routines in detail or rant out randomly... but i've had it till here.. and its brimming out... overspilling, just like the effects of the sub prime mortgage loan delinquency.

Communications otherwise defined as the imparting or interchanging of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing, or signs. Humans are communal beings, we are dependant and dependable at the same time, we function as a community, developing complex social structures and hierachies, forming different unique cultures and lifestyle patterns as we evolve to adapt to our everchanging environment. why does this start to sound like an anthropology lesson? Communications, is the very foundation of our evolution, a catalyst which facilitates both the creation and mergers of communities. It miraculously combines societal structures and eliminates vast cultural differences, as we presently term it, globalization. Communications, has along with the development of technology, acheived new heights in the modern world. From the founding of alphabets by the pheonicians during an era i even have problem pronouncing, to Joseph Henry's creation of the electric telegraph and finally to today's WIFI.

As primates we used to try to bring across the most basic of messages, such as "Oh Oo Ah" for "I'm gonna need you to put down that banana, you thieving bastard" to "Ah Ah Oh Oo" for " I urgently need a booty call, dear, put the baby down". Today, this aspect of communications is on a total different level, a whole new platform. There's body language, hand signals, different linguistic combinations such as singlish, different tones of voices, different medium of expressions such as poetry/movies/music.. etc and finally there's DECEPTION, commonly known as LYING and also falsifying emotions and messages. How contradicting and ironic that as primates, our primary objective was to accurately convey a certain message, however, now, as a more evolved being, we try to distort signals to transmit across a somewhat erratic message which do not represent our thoughts. So maybe one day, a few milleniums down the road, we may be trying all means to throw away money instead of trying to gain wealth... I was just being figurative.. that'll never happen.... lol

scb says its miscommunication... but if it happens so ever often... it's suddenly occuring to me that maybe its because we just cannot be bothered to communicate. When you so often mis-interpret messages sent across... maybe you are just better off apart from each other...

I can't believe i typed 2 paragraphs of rubbish in an attempt to prove a point, but end up typing another whole paragraph of irrelevant text.

Anyways... read this article on lying from forbes.com, aparrently, lying is supposed to be good for you. In fact, studies have shown lying to have become instinct, embedded into the human behavioral pattern, it has become automatic, and in an average 10 minute conversation, at least 3 lies are being weaved. So i conclude, lying should'nt be something negative.

To quote a paragraph

"We lie to avoid awkwardness or punishment. We lie to maintain relationships and please others. And, of course, most of all we lie to please ourselves. Whether we’re embellishing our credentials or strengthening our stories, we often tell untruths to make ourselves appear and feel better."

I think its a simple yet comprehensive explanation of why humans lie, better than any complex theory/thesis, compacting the whole fundamental truth about lying into 3 simple lines.

Well, i've reached my objective for today... my mind's totally drained out of material... the headquarters have shutdown and i'm finally void of all bad feelings .. gonna call it a day.

Found a few very classic songs from jacky cheung hanging around yesterday, very soothing indeed. and also discovered this song called 爱上周杰伦 by janice, rather innovative song, protraying the open display of affection for jay chou by gals like ah bon.. lolx


我开始有了感觉
因这困兽的主角
但最尾搁浅悬崖
就一生简单的爱
听着那女人可爱
若碰到不分开
共你手牵手星星会否听见
爱在公元前节拍漫天声线
但你听得到世界暂且安静
弦又断了线教我学会愉快点
我爱上周杰伦
东风破双刀烟圈一一爱上
我爱上周杰伦
只因我太爱听见他的声音
口开不了你知道
得不到你的苦恼
像喝你泡的浓茶
追忆七里里香气
挂念你太多希冀
念到这诗的尾
没有秋刀鱼花猫撒娇鼓噪
摄入凯旋门拍照来访古堡
越过小村庄看见梦想分裂
然后爱上你听听晴天像更好
我爱上周杰伦
东风破双刀烟圈一一爱上
我爱上周杰伦
只因我太爱听见他的声音
我爱上周杰伦
他给我一种思想一种个唱
我爱上周杰伦
只因我太爱听见他的声音

I LOVE JAY!!!!!
