I am in Love

I had my math placement test at university today, it was a lot harder than i expected and i can definitely say i got owned.

it was nothing unexpected though, since most of it was stuff i didn't take anyway. i had an awesome barbecue a few days ago, the best food i ever ate. the beautiful weather and nature added alot to the experience.

I am totally in love, with nature, its unfaltering beauty, food, its sensational flavors, Portal, i fell in love with it again, it truly is an amazing game, one of a kind.
Chess, although i didn't play since my defeats with my uncle, i fall in love with it more and more everyday, as i see its relations and metaphors in real life and finally with Mathematics, truly otherworldly.

I am currently trying to fix my life as i am my chess skills, rather than making strong moves into the right path and working hard on them, i am still at the stage where i am trying to avoid common mistakes and traps, fiends of my past. Like the first part of a chess game, we secure our position, set a path for the end game, for all of chess, like life, is leading to the 'end game'. Then comes the middle game, where you must strategize and plan strong moves that will guarantee a secure passage through the end game.
My shadow screams get a life, but i r happyz.

Listening to Camel while in a car with open windows, and a driver going FAST is an awesome experience, specially after a long, tiring day.

Naps are scary, they are like a drug, more enjoyable than a full nights sleep, yet time consuming and unproductive, my instinct tells me to stay awake, my eyes tell me to leave them alone and give in.

I wrote a post earlier and it got deleted, thanks to blogger, writing it again now.
I slept most of today, from 1am last night to 1pm this afternoon then slept again at 2pm because i was tired, and woke up at 7pm. I am kind of sick, bad stomach and headache and generally feeling weak. Took some meds, and feeling a bit better now, but still tired.


I played 3 games of chess with my uncle, he won them all, donno if he's too good or i am too bad..

I am gonna buy a new soundsytem, had to decide whether to get an Onkyo or Yamaha 5.1+amp. Or logitech x-540+ XFI Xtreme sound card. Decided on the second for a few reasons that i am too lazy to mention here. Hopefully i'll have the moniz soon.

hmmm. kthxbai

Oh!

I think the daily blogging was interrupted for a day or two, cant remember right.
I've been busy with a few things these days, hopefully the boring weekdays to come will be more blog-worthy.

I had difficulty sleeping for the past 2 days.
Couldn't sleep till 6AM or 7AM. All because of that cup of coffee a few days ago. Sigh.

I burned my mouth yesterday, was having lunch and ate those small potatoes that are grilled whole, in their skin and everything. Lets just say, it was a lot hotter than it looked. My mouth is now full of blisters and shit.

I couldnt play chess for these past days...
Unfortunate.
I am going out in a bit, and can't make this into a regular sized post.

Sleepy Awakening

3:20 AM

I am exhausted....
I shouldnt have been tempted into coffee, now I am really tired and cant sleep at all. Not nice.
This is like having a knight in a bad situation, you really want to get him out but he's stuck there, unusable.

I am currently watching memento, very interesting movie, surprised I didnt watch it till now. Started reading a book, Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt. Seems like an interesting read, the first page was about how it sucks to be a wet catholic Irish child. mmmkay.
I really hate the fact that i cant find any good books to read, I cant finish a book if its not nice, discourages me from reading at all, makes me really picky. I tried reading this book 2 weeks ago; The Road, pseudo artsy piece of shit.

Beautiful night, took some night photographs, my first successful ones. ever. There has been a lot of clouds these days, rain is finally coming our way.

I learned a new word today "cacophony"
boo-ya, sorry about the useless post.

Afternoon Mornings

Just had morning coffee for the first time in a very long time.I used to save coffee for times of need, so that my body doesn't develop any tolerance for it, but I really felt like drinking some coffee this morning.

Yesterday's biking was the first one I hated, it was really windy, making it harder to pedal AND blowing sand into my eyes and face, so by the time I returned home, I could barely see or feel.Sad really, because this is the best weather in Dubai. I was happy again an hour later, after a relaxing hot bath followed by a jolting cold shower. Amazing way to recharge.

Finally watched The Ten last night, definitely a movie I'd recommend, really entertaining watch. Lots of Homosexual references though, the writer might be gay. Still, all in all, a fun movie. I might finally watch The Kingdom, disappointing that I didnt get a chance to watch it in the Theatre when it was released, but I couldn't go when my friends went, and they couldnt go when I could. So, everyone but me managed to see it. An R5 with Russian audio has been released, so an English one should be due today.

Been Adding a lot of Music to the Music post today.

I am really in love with chess these days, been playing for hours daily. Once I feel potent enough, I'll start challenging friends and shit. We'll see.

This is it for now.

Lenti

Lazy.

Exhausted.

No idea why.

This is forming.

Into a very nice shape.


My physics test yesterday went as well as i expected it not to, around a third of it was stuff i never heard off, that i had to guess off, which is still decent, since its multiple choice, 25% chance off each guess.

Been playing a lot of chess lately, on my computer. Chessmaster : Grandmaster Edition, i used to play the older version of this game 2 years ago, it has great tutorials, which i am going through now.

I had a weird thing today, nothing was downloading....
everything i wanted has finished at night.
It was a weird feeling, this hasnt happened in around 2months.
But it didnt last for long, i set up my rss to auto-download some freeleech to seed, so its all busy again.

When will people realise, that being miserable of your imperfection, rather than embracing it and recoiling better in your tough spots, is what forms a better person. probably never.

I have a headache forming now, great.

Ahh, I decided to slowly try to fix my grammer, spellings ,etc.
However, i am gonna do it all manually, with each post, I'll try to be more and more careful, but I will never use spell checkers or anything, the usual method of writing into Notepad, and Copy.Paste.

Heroes was released today, too bad the High definition release was by Dimensions, one of the shittiest HD encoders, so I had to settle for the standard HDTV. Ah well, still not in the mood to watch though.
Watched some Ugly betty this morning, not a bad show for mornings. A dead son just returned as a very much alive daughter. Weird plot twist.

I got the movie 'The Ten' yesterday, it seems interesting, a friend of mine saw it in a film festival and said it was worth a watch. I think its a limited release movie. Will check it out later tonight.

The coming weekend is gonna be interesting, My uncle is coming to the country on Thursday, from Mordor. Woops, I meant abroad.
Then a friend's birthday later, should be entertaining. Friday is gonna be a regular friday, Prayer, Relaxing, maybe I'll go Biking again. And finally Saturday, still confidential, but if the person I am trying to organise it with doesnt fucking respond, then 3 people are gonna be disappointed. One, Sympathetic to the deflation of another.

Haven't listened to any music today, but I will keep my Music post updated, with Music my (Winamp set to random) will turn up with.
