Insomnia Too

Sleep has deserted me. So has my brain. They sent mosquitoes to keep me company instead.

So I decided to set up my wireless router, got paranoid so I secured the network I created, and promptly forgot my password ten minutes later.

It does not bode well for my still unlaunched criminal career.

Paranoia is the root of all stupidity.

Insomnia

Other people are up because they can't sleep, because they're thinking about true love, the thing in general or a person: the one they have, the one that got away, the theoretical one that's just around the corner if they're good and eat their vegetables.

I'm up at 1 am when I have to get up four hours later, because I'm watching "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang", because I've finally figured out how to burn .bin/.cue files into a disk the cheap divx-enabled DVD players will read. With Toast. Whee.

It isn't the utter aimlessness of my life that bugs me. It's the fact that I don't mind anymore.

It's On A Poster

To the greedy, lazy and unpatriotic: Be ashamed, be very ashamed.
---
Love, do not harm the motherland.

Serve, don't disserve the people.

Uphold science; don't be ignorant and unenlightened.

Work hard; don't be lazy and hate work.

Be united and help each other; don't gain benefits at the expense of others.

Be honest and trustworthy, not profit-mongering at the expense of your values.

Be disciplined and law-abiding instead of chaotic and lawless.

Know plain living and hard struggle, do not wallow in luxuries and pleasures.
