Minor Reflections.

AUG 2007 was awesome. I'm still hugely disappointed that I did not get to compete or even meet Batman, and even though it's a lesson learned, this particular brand of pill was exceptionally bitter to swallow whole.

Now it's back to Uni, the shitty assignments, lectures that always seem to be too early in the morning and tutorials that I hardly have the guts to speak out in.

P.S. Listen to Feist.



She too, is awesome.

The Consumerist's Dillema.

I'm going to sound like a real consumerist, but fuck it.

There I was, bored as shit and even more depressed than after Arsenal had just lost the Champion's League Final to Barca, that I decided to make a list of how much storage space per $$$ I would be getting with Apple's new line of iPods.

iPod Shuffle 1GB = 10MB / $1
iPod Nano 4GB = 20MB / $1
iPod Nano 8GB = 29MB / $1
iPod Classic 80GB = 230MB / $1
iPod Classic 160GB = 335MB / $1
iPod Touch 8GB = 20MB / $1
iPod Touch 16GB = 30MB / $1

So from that list alone it's obvious that storage space wise the 160GB Classic gives you the biggest bang for your buck. And for someone like me who is constantly running out of space because of the multitudes of TV shows that has been acquired, and will most likely go unwatched before it is deleted to make room for other shows that will also be unwatched before that too is deleted for.. well you get the idea, space is the number one thing.

And, as mouthwatering as the iPod touch may seem to be, right now it's just shaping up to be an iPhone lite. Maybe, just maybe if it had a bit more storage space (40GB? Pretty please?) aaaaaand a text editor, along with a fold out keyboard, I may save up (get a job first, dickhead!) and buy the Touch. But right now I'm leaning towards the 160GB Classic.

And if it comes out at a reasonable Australian price, maybe the iPhone too.

Stupid, Stupid, Stupid boy.

I've learned my lesson. Never again will I miss Kendo. First I do crappier on a final exam after skipping Kendo practice the day before, while on the occasion that I did go I actually got good marks. And now I've just had a pretty shit day (that thankfully got better in the evening) after missing yet another Kendo practice. Not to mention the shit mark on the assignment I was working on in that one week where I missed both practices. In light of all of this I am going to make a vow to myself.

I, Muhammad Iqbal, will always go to Kendo practice, no matter how much I feel like a turd, whether it be physically or mentally. And I, Muhammad Iqbal, will do my best to finish my affairs, be it academic, , social or personal, before practice, so that I can enjoy said activity and give it my 1000%. May I, Muhammad Iqbal, ever skip Kendo practice from now on, except if I've just had my dick cut off or something closely resembling that, will have to 100 hayasuburi with full bogu, or do 50 push ups with full bogu.

Done.

The Irony Does Not Escape Me.


Two days after the death of my beloved iPod (unknown to most, named iGor) Apple inc. unveils the latest line of iPods. These include the iPod Touch, iPod Classic, the new iPod Nano and the new iPod Shuffle. Of course, being so broke that I have headaches about it means that I'll afford to buy these babies in 2020, and asking money from my parents is completely out of the question. They're already retired and living off a fucking pension!

Rest in peace iGor, I have many fond memories of your companionship for the last three (or so) years.

A Familiar feeling.

I don't know why I haven't been able to dig myself out of this shit-hole like I usually do. Maybe its the fact that once again I find myself with money problems at the start of the month, or that once again I am screwing around with my assignments and that class feels like a gigantic time waster, and that I am just sick of it.

I have got to get my shit together, I've been telling myself that for three years now, but I just keep making the same mistakes over and over again. I'd feel sorry for myself if it wasn't for the fact that this cycle is so predictable that even a 6th grader would be able to handle it better than me.

Depressing isn't it?
