"No one can see beyond a choice that they don't understand."
- The Oracle.

and i was watching The Matrix...

so you see... i still can't seem to move on for so long now because there are so many things i don't understand...
and for all the perseverance, all the determination, and most importantly all that self-knowledge i think i possess there are things that i know i won't come to understand...

that simply is the way of things...

and that much i understand... because i understand that some choices will have to be made regardless of circumstance, regardless of understanding...

some choices are just made... and then that's all there is to it...

this is one of those posts where i talk to myself...

Hmmm....

After much deliberation, Keen decides to save the Earth anyway. Don't miss an action-packed second of this exciting episode in the Commander Keen trilogy!


here's to another priceless piece of my chilhood unearthed and relived...
and to 15 hours of lost sleep...
and many more to go...

the previous post was written and was supposed to be up last week.

due to the sheer obstinacy of blogger.com and my hectic schedule it has seen the light of cyberspace only now...

so stop bugging me to post, enjoy those precious few words and i'll get something up soon...

i think...

i have just woken up...

and it's seven pm now.

it's mildly irritating to take a nap and wake up at 7 cos then it seems that the whole day has been wasted in slumber...
and i don't even feel rested...

but ah well...

i don't have much to say regarding the past few days except that my body is putting up spectacular resistance to me putting it through the rigour of physical excercise on a regular basis...

or a least that's what my thighs, shoulders and arms seem to be screaming...
