not breaking boxes anywhere

  1. i am a mediocre writer struggling to get by in (a not so much dog-eat-dog than it is) a sniveling, back-patting, whining, wheedling, bitching, grovelling, cannibalising industry.
  2. i am not modest. ‘mediocre’ is a fitting and even flattering description when compared to shite™ writers who think it’s “Cordon Blurr” and that “lushes” equals to “lush.” and use “dateline” when they mean “deadline.” (i can already hear your frantic googling.)
  3. i still carry a torch for all things geeky like html, css (and its babies), flash and digg.
  4. i believe that all letters are made equal. down with capitalisation!
  5. i hate 3rd person commentary. ptui.
  6. i am not forcing you to pander to my whims or insecurities. so shut up.
  7. i used to keep an online journal before the “rise of the bloggers”.
  8. i have no use for the “blogosphere” or whatever ninny-pated term malaysian bloggers have now coined for it.
  9. i have an overfondness for parentheses and hyphens thanks to a lecture from ajay “i am da man” bakhshi.
  10. i’m confused over british/american usage of the quotation mark/inverted comma.
  11. i moderate comments. if you don’t like it, you can suck it. whee!
  12. this blog is an exercise in self indulgence. i use it for writing practice and to record things i am partial to: events, music, videos, tech stuff and the occasional rant. i have no theme or hidden money-grubbing, fame-whoring agenda.
