No Money, More Problems

There's a meeting with the FYP (Final Year Project) tomorrow and I'm supposed to read up journals/articles on online retailing. Well, I have them all opened and lined up on Chrome nicely, waiting for me to lay my attentive eyes on them now but fucking Skrillex and NiT GriT is distracting me goddamnit.

What's even worse is the fact that my personal college's account has been suspended for not paying fees. For fuck's sake, how am I supposed to pay the fees if the PTPTN guys are still at the coffee shop drinking coffee or sucking corporate dicks?! With the account blocked I won't be able to submit my ingenious FYP proposal.

O well, time to comb my nerd hair and meet the person in charge tomorrow. Hopefully my faux American accent will lead him into a trap thinking I'm actually a superior intellect and he's supposed to be graced by my presence. What a fucking week, even the KFC I had tasted like shit (figuratively). No pussy this week too. Oh wait, I've never had it for months. Fuck this shit. Blog update tomorrow, by the way.

Stay tuned, motherfuckers.

Psychedelic Shit

Goddamn, this song sounds like some psychedelic trance shit. Feels like people should watch this while taking hallucinogenic substances. Moreover, Ah Young and Serri's fucking HOT GODDAMN. On another note, do not take drugs. It's bad fo yo health, son.

Enjoy and have fun.

Fuck, there's no embedding to this video. Here's the link. It's a kpop song, by the way. So, you guys should know what to expect.

Music Yesterday, Today

I'll tell you guys what this post is REALLY about.

This post is not for me to share some music which you probably don't care about. Truthfully, I wrote this in order to seek validation from strangers. Blogging is kinda like this scene:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Paul is having a bad day. On his way to work, he met Marty. This conversation ensues:

Paul: Hey, how's your day Marty! (cheerfully)
Marty: Not bad. How's yours? (big mistake from Marty)
Paul: OH MY GOD BLABLABLABLA SUCKS BLABLABLA THIS THAT BLABLABLA CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?


Marty has two choices. One is to say, "Yeah that sucks." Second is to say, "Hey maybe if you do blablabla right, this won't happen." Guess which one will make Paul think of Marty as a good friend at that moment?

I'm guilty of this at least once in my life. How about you?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As opposed to what some people may believe, blogs are not for you and I to share our thoughts. In my opinion, blogging is an ingenious way to seek validation. For people to tell me that I'm right about Paul Gilbert being the one true God since the 80s. You think when I post about Paul Gilbert, my thoughts on various trivial matters, all I'm hoping for is for someone to prove me I'm wrong? Fuck no. I'm waiting for strangers I've never met to say, "YOU GODDAMN RIGHT, SON!"

Imagine this. Let's assume that our thoughts and principles are investments. I've invested hours and hours in Paul Gilbert, convinced that he is DA MAN in guitar playing. If some bitch comes to me and say, "Hey hey you you, Paul sucks because blablablabla." Wouldn't it mean that all my investments are lost? Investing TIME on a subject is something that you will never be able to regain.

You can't just say, "Oh well fuck this, Paul Gilbert is not God I'll just sell back all the TIME I invested to some unsuspecting bitch." Which is why I'm telling you every goddamn day that Paul is God, rather than accepting that Clapton, Hendrix, or Rebecca Black is probably better than him. If everything else fails, I'll resort to pointing out all the grammatical and spelling mistakes I can find in your rebuttal.

It's easier, isn't it?

All in all, people seek validation everyday all day long. If Paul Gilbert existed in ancient time, it's no strange thing that I will kill people for thinking otherwise. You'd be drinking in a tavern hearing the latest news about some guy who got stabbed and left hanging naked on a rope cause he said Paul Gilbert sucks. But hey, killing isn't allowed anymore in modern society. So instead, I FORCE MY VIEWS AND IDEAS ON YOU THROUGH THIS BLOG.

Have you ever get into an argument with a friend on something and when he proved you wrong, you said, "Yeah, you're right." Hardly. If you're easily swayed, it means you've never really invested much in it. Usually, you go back trying to come up with thousands of counter-arguments. ONLY AFTER this step, you'll concede.

I'm not saying this is right and it's admirable to do this. It takes a lot to honestly admit you're wrong. It's inevitable as well. This IS human nature after all. Tribal instinct. The "us" vs. "them" mentality. Ultimately, I needed a reason to post this music video and implying that you should say that it's the best video you've seen today. After that, I'll direct you to the "comments" section below to validate my views in the most obvious way possible. Enjoy.



p.s. I need to work "Ah shaddup-a you face" into my daily conversations from now on..

Well... if anyone's still reading this, I'd like to tell you guys that there are A LOT of things that I want to tell you all. But the problem is, I can't come up with any content sufficient enough to qualify as a blog post. Most probably cause I haven't studied and read into these things deep enough. No one to blame but me.

Sigh, now I know why twitter is so popular. You can just let your thoughts flow without having to come up with concrete evidence and original ideas to support their inner-philosopher.

Beauty Contests

OH MY GOD GAPNAP CARRIES PAUL GILBERT'S INJECTORS PICKUPS!!!! OH SHIT OH SHITTTTT SHOULD I BUY A SEMI HOLLOW OR UPGRADE MY RG!!??? WHY IS LIFE SO HARD WHY CAN'T I HAVE EVERYTHING ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Just kidding. The RG can wait.

Truthfully, I couldn't stop smiling when I laid my eye on this baby.. Goddamn, I'm still smiling now.

NONONO!!

I must not distract myself.. from acquiring... a new toy...

It's been almost a month since I've decided on buying a new guitar and I'm glad to say that I sort of made my choice already. After weeks of pondering, it has become clear that the Ibanez AF75TDG is purely G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome?). It's not something that I need but much rather, something that I want (just because it's a cheaper alternative to the great Gretsch White Falcon look). To conclude, it was down to a once in a decade battle between Epiphone Dot and Cort Source.

One BIG problem with me is that when I wanna buy guitars, I always register them for a beauty contest in the deep and dark corner of my mind.. which is a very detestable thing to do in the eyes of so-called "tone purists"?? I don't know the term for these people. Thankfully, I still adhere to the school of thought that says tone is in the fingers/hands. Give me a beauty and I'll try my best to make it sound as beautiful as I can.

As I was saying, the Ibanez is out of the picture. Hopefully I'll be able to get it next year though heheheheh. So... I have the Epiphone Dot in this corner. Honestly speaking, I only want it because it's Epiphone. It's a brand name. It's what Armani Exchange is to Armani. A cheaper alternative. Nothing else. Nil. Even so, it's still more expensive than the other choice that I have, which is the Cort Source

I really like the Bigsby-esque bridge on the Source-BV. The colour isn't that bad too, though I'm not sure if it comes in Cherry Red. But the HEADSTOCK!!! The Cort Logo is so ugly and so bland :( And the pickguard has sharp edges which I dislike on semi-hollows.

BUT THEN!!!




Few days ago I saw something hanging on the wall of Music Master (Gapnap's shop). After a few facebook messages and a phone conversation later, I found out that it is an AXL AE-820. It's a beautiful guitar... It doesn't have the exorbitant price of an Epiphone (for my budget) and the horrendous looking headstocks and pickguards of Corts. BUUUUUUUUUUUUT it doesn't come in the colour that I want *BAWL* There's no Cherry Red but I can settle on the White one that I saw in their official website. I don't know if Gapnap has the white one though hmmm..

Simply put, my current train of thought is to go try out the Source and AE-820 when I get back to KL just to make sure it isn't completely unplayable. Probably confirm the colour selection of the AE-820 later on, which is the deciding factor in this beauty contest. May the best looking guitar win!

p.s. If you're from South East Asia or specifically Malaysia, go get your instruments from Gapnap. This guy is one of the most trustable and reliable sonuvabitch I've encountered.
