The Love Of My Life

OH BABY!

Breach of Privacy

Yesterday our house phone was disconnected. Specifically, one phone seemed to be disconected because it wasn't making any noises. But the surprise was in the other phone. When I picked it up it was making a fuzzy noise. Straining my ear, to my shock, horror, and disbelief, I could hear people speaking!!! It was a male and a female conversing. I couldn't help but snicker at the fact that here I was listning to complete strangers on the phone, them being completely unware of my sneakiness. It even felt spy-fi for a while, it was so cool. This couple were talking about something boring, either work or household matters, so I hung up. A second later my nosyness got the better of me. This time it was two men talking, from the jist of it I assume they were some sort of trades people or business people who were making arrangements for something to get shipped or delivered. Then it was someone dialing to check their voicemail. What is amazing is that I could hear them dialling and the Telecom answer machine voice say "You have 1 new message...". Then I heard the message. Nothing interesting, also some arrangement between a man called Brett and a man called John. Brett had a very deep and croaky voice, gave me shivers.
Anyhoo, that undoubtedly was a rather strange night, it will probably never happen again because this morning the Telecom man fixed the cables. To all the people I heard yesterday, my apologies for eavesdropping, it was a rather dispicable and shameful act on my part and I should know better. But temptation in a case like this is undescribable...LOL. I still can't stop laughing. But if it makes it look better, to my bitter disappointment I didn't hear anything that was remotely interesting. Nobody talking in code, disscussing criminal plans or people I know, nobody fighting...come on people, save some interesting convos for the phone, txt messages are so much harder to intercept...

Mines of Moria

I would like to begin by explaining my reasons for starting this blog. On one hand, it was due to seeing some blogs from my "homies" Lily and Kejia, so I thought I would give it a go too, why not? But on the other hand, it was because of a recent encounter. You see, recently, I had been hit in the face by the iron fist of reality. The emotional impact of the blow sent me flying at full speed and hitting the concrete wall; shattering my bones and sending a strange feeling up my spine and making my head hurt. During the shock treatment that was part of the recovery I realised that my distant future that I had to use binoculars to see just not so long ago is in fact no longer distant, but in fact it is just around the corner in that dark long and smoky alley. My future is a stranger waiting for me in that dark alley and I can feel its dooming presence and smell its distinctive stench. It came to me that in order to light up this dark alley and make that starnger freindly and maybe even smile I must take matters into my own hands. That is why, frantically, I am attempting to squeeze as much as possible experiences and education into these last one and a half years of school. Holding on to that thought, an aspiring career in jouranalism looks very appealing, and writing rants such as this will be useful as well as listening to the news on the radio. May I recommend Deutsche Velle, an amazing radio station that streams live on the internet in 25 different laguages disscussing anything and everything from politics to popular music culture. I think I will do that now. Tata!
