Roadkill

Casper (my sister's boyfriend) thought that the Pope kinda looks like Darth Sidious from starwars. I checked it up on the net. I'll let you be the judge. Have you ever seen them both in the same room?

Senses are weird aren't they? We're given about 5 senses when we're born, well most people are. Its weird cause if someone is missing a sense, like sight, their other senses get sharper... guess it's God's way of being fair. It would be weird to be missing a sense, but it got me thinking. Dare Devil is a blind superhero. Sight is the only sense that they could take away to make a superhero (just imagine some guy named Tasteless-man who claims to be a superhero). The Dare Devil character is cool idea accompanied by an average comic, stupid storylines and a really crappy movie. However, I came up with the perfect bad guy for Dare Devil to fight. An invisible man!!! It'd be perfect, the witnesses would think it's a ghost or something and they'd call the police and the police wouldn't know what to do since there are security cameras showing knives magically slitting people's throats. The invisible dude (who would have to be naked) could just slip around the police cars unseen by anyone… maybe the police dogs could start barking at him, but they’d be caged so they couldn’t do anything. I'm pretty sure the dogs would have a good enough sense of smell to find the invisible man and just imagine if they released a bunch of German Sheppard’s to attack some invisible man, I’d laugh my ass off… especially since he’s naked! Anyways, Dare Devil is the only superhero that could fight this guy. He could smell him and hear him just like he smells and hears anyone else. It'd be a pretty gay fight (a blind guy and an invisible guy… lol) but no one would notice since the idea of someone being an invisible criminal and someone being able to track him overwhelms them much more than his invisible fighting style. Actually movies with an invisible character kinda annoy me, well just the end credits. They're in the movie for 12 minutes at the beginning and they're first on the list! Just for voicing the movie. While everyone else is busting their ass, pretending to be choked by air, they end up as supporting actors and actresses. Someday someone will win an Oscar for playing an invisible character, cause they did such a great job doing those voiceovers and acting for those first 12 minutes. I honestly think that the backstage people deserve that trophy more, they're the ones who make it look like the doors are being opened and digitally add in some foot steps on sand just appearing. Just wanted to share my opinion on fictional invisibility and this idea for a cool comic or movie, and if someone ever steals this idea for a movie, I want the invisible actor to be like 20th on the list of credits as well as $12,000,000.

The past couple of weeks I've been living in America. It hasn't changed at all since was here in August 2005. There is still hardly anything to do here so I end up watching TV (which is amazing) or downloading gigabytes of stuff off of my wireless broadband connection (yes I'm showing off... I'm taking advantage of my only opportunity). One thing I've been watching lately is the Twilight Zone, a sci-fi series that first aired in the 50s and 60s. In many ways it indirectly addressed many social issues in America at the time. There was one episode that really messed with my head and made me question everything I was brought up to believe was normal.

It starts off with a woman, Janet Tyler, in a hospital with bandages covering her face lying in bed. She's on her 11th visit to get facial reconstruction surgery and if she doesn't look "normal" this time, she'll be forced to live in a village with other people with the same "disability". There is always something blocking the hospital workers faces, whether it's a shadow or something in the way, which adds to the creepiness of this episode. Finally they take the bandages off at an agonizingly slow speed. Then finally, they all come off, everyone is shocked and she screams she looks up and she looks completely normal (actually quite hot, her name is Donna Douglas in real life). She tries running, but they pin her to the wall, The Doctor turns and shows his face, and he looks like some sort of pig-type alien thingy. They show the faces of everyone else, and they're all the same, and in this parallel universe, the beautiful are considered ugly and the ugly are considered beautiful. She runs around the hospital trying to get out and runs into a room where she bumps into the leader of the village that she would be forced into. Walter Smith, the leader, (awesome name by the way) tells her about it and says "there's a very old saying 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'" and tells her to keep saying that when she goes to the village.
This twist really made me think about how people are treated differently just for not being "normal". We have no right to define what is normal. It also made me think about what "beauty" is. Is it really some chick that resembles the Half-life babe? It depends... In our own little world, the answer is yes, if we're talking about physical beauty, however 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' which discredits anything seen by anyone but the beholder, whoever that may be. Who are we to say anything is ugly? Janet was brought up believing that she was abnormal but if she lived in our world, she could walk down a street and not get any negative attention at all. I'm sure that if we lived in the dimension that this story was set in, then we'd all be forced to live in that village of "freaks", who we’d find to be normal. That's why this episode made me think. What if I was the freak? Treated differently ever since you were brought into this world. In our little world, it’d be someone who is looked down upon because of their skin pigment, a relative, a disability, the list goes on... something they can’t control nonetheless. Who decides to make them this way? God? Because I find it hard to believe that God is what caused us to suffer. God makes us the way we are, but he doesn’t make us suffer. It’s man that makes us suffer; we put down our own kind. We decided what we think is normal and we want to attack anything that is different. Why can’t we stop attacking each other? When will we stop choosing to create problems for each other and evolve? All we’ve been doing since the dawn of creation is attacking our own kind… we could all be living like kings... if we all chose to... but that day will never come.

Anyways, there's a lot of thought food in the Twilight Zone series, check it out. I've sketched a few very awesome frames from the Twilight Zone as well. Guess TV ain’t what it used to be… what else is new? Yeah the name of my blog is new… got tired of degrading myself… it got old after a while… I’ll change it again when something else pops into my head.

Time for a new post... Yeah, I haven't really been doing enough blog-wise lately...
Every time I think of something fun to do I say make a promise to myself that I'll do it after the exams. So here are my post-May 30th self-promises that I probably won't come through with but yeah...


Get a job internship from my sister-
I kind of get to be on TV. I move around seaweed, trees and other cardboard cut-outs that come on kids programs. Sounds easy and probably will be fun.

Help the school-
1. Help with the end of year slideshow
2. Go for the school concert rehearsals and help with the graphic design stuff

Sell Vaporizers-
It’s easy and semi-honest money. If you are interested in buying one, please contact me somehow

Buy more video games-
I have 1gb of ram, fx5500 256mb graphics card, 2.4 Gigahertz, P4 processor etc. etc. and I've still only been playing the games that Anthony and Gayan installed on my computer. I'm planning on getting- Battlefield 2, kotor2, Doom 3, Quake 4, F.E.A.R, UT 2004, Call of Duty 2 and a few others.

Get a girlfriend-
Yeah... after exams

Play more guitar-
I'm finally getting good on guitar, now I need to work on speed exercises and learn to play solos

Hang out with new people-
I've met a lot of cool people lately, just haven't had the time or freedom to meet up with them or hang out with them.

Make music on Fruity Loops-
I've realized that techno is the easiest music to make. Mylo himself produced his entire first album on a G4 (macs still suck). After you get the basics down, it's just down hill from there.

Add more to my blog-
I haven't really been in much of a writing mood for a while so I'm hoping that after exams that should change.

Learn to surf-
Surfing looks so damn awesome. It's too cool not to take up.

Get buff-
Yeah, I'm a skinny bugger; I need to put some meat on my bones. I also have to do it for the school concert as I'm a model. (They sure know how to pick'm.)

Burn the school books-
Yes this needs to be done. I've realized that everything I've studied will be useless in the month of June onwards. Although I might save some stuff for A levels.

Burn the Joke book-
Yes Himmy, we've been planning this for far too long.

Make more napalm-
This goes hand in hand with my last 2 missions

Frame my posters and buy new posters-
I've had the posters in my room taken down for the past 4 months because my mom was going to get them framed. I guess after exams I'm going to have to take matters into my own hands. Also when I go back to the states, I need to buy some new posters and my room is quite bald.

Get some new gadgets-
This depends on my results and how generous my mom is. I want an mp3 player, phone, video card, external hard drive and many others. I probably won't get all of them, and if I did, I'd be quite spoiled.

Watch Lost Season 2-
I finished watching season 1 in about a weekend. For the past month I've been wanting to know what is in the hatch, what those numbers mean, who dies, who lives, what happens to Sawyer, Michael and the Korean guy, were there other people on the island and much more.
Suba promised me that she's going to give me the season after O's. Apparently it's not as good as the first season but I'm still interested.

Watch the new season of Family Guy-
I’m currently downloading at a whooping speed of 2.2kb/s on Azureus. By the time my exams finish, it'll probably be downloaded. That's if I leave my computer on day and night.

Party-
Just like everyone else.

Torch a car-
This also goes hand in hand with making napalm. I need to make an enemy first or find someone I don't like.

Try out new "stuff"-
I'm going to have to be vague on this one.

Watch more TV-
I haven't been able to watch the shows I like cause of all these classes and exams.

Hang out with the blonde more often-
We once hung out after school for 2 straight weeks. Today I saw Charlotte for the first time in 6 days.

Learn to ride a motor bike-
Those off-road dirt bikes are so awesome. I must learn to ride.

Drive-
I haven't been behind the wheel for about 6 months. I need to get back in touch so I can pass my test when I go back to the states.

Watch movies-
There are some really awesome looking movies that I've wanted to watch but couldn't find them or buy them. This includes- MI: 3, X-men 3, Scary movie 4, Ultraviolet, V for Vendetta and a couple others.

Prank call people-
This is a bit jobless, but I've got a card with the all teacher's numbers on it and I need to put it to use.

Sort through my music collection-
I’ve got about 3000 songs but load are repeats and I’m going to have to clear all that up.

That's basically it. I'm sure that there is more and I'm sure that I probably won't do most of this stuff but I'm going to try hard.
Time to hit the books.

I don’t feel like I’m lying when I say that I have a pretty wide network of friends, however, my friends at school are the backbone to my life, and I greatly depend on their support and input into my life. I’ve never felt so close to a bunch of people in my life to tell you the truth. So now I’m gonna give a brief description of each of my friends in the clique and my class members (btw, this is in no particular order):

Noemar (NEE-Mar) – short Pilipino dude, he’s one awesome dude, taught me a lot about counter-strike. He is currently 3rd in class. Very funny at times, other times he’s an F3 (private joke). He likes the same types of movies as I do. He really hates the French as well (a person not the people of France). Usually every cruel joke leads back to him, but no one can get mad at Neo.

Sulaiman (Su-Lay-Maun) – Not quite the smartest in the class but the class would definitely not be the same without him. Very funny dude, even when he’s not trying to be. We use to hate each other in form 3 but we grew to become good friends, now we have no problem making fun of each other’s upbringings or religious background (or is it just me making fun of him?) Oh well, he doesn’t take it personal.

Nathan (Naw-Thaun) – Whilst he’s been going out with Zara for the past 2 years and change, he’s maintained a respectable role in class. At times, very serious, other times he’s as goofy as me. He is currently 4th in class. He hasn’t smoked or drunk at all in his life, and I respect that. Nathan is also very open minded and is a very deep thinker, that’s why Math is not his subject and subjects like History and Lit are. Btw, he is really good at singing and is helping in the next Moir School Concert.

Fazlul (Fauz-Lool) – Fazlul is an awesome bugger, quite double sided if you ask me. He’s into Gangster Rap and System of the Down, but he’s also into Jazz (specifically saxophone). Fazlul is really innocent, open-minded and sweet at times and you can have a pretty deep conversation with him, and he’s also very tough and angry like when we got kicked out of Xavier’s class and this really pissed Fazlul off (ask me about it later, can’t be bothered explaining it now). To tell you the truth, I really think Fazlul’s family has torrettes syndrome. Fazlul doesn’t show off although he probably easily could if he wanted to.

Seo Ho (So-Ho) – This bugger is very freaky. He joined from British last year and I think he finally found a place where he fits in. True he doesn’t hang out with the Koreans much, but I think that’s a healthy thing for him. Seo ho lacked self-confidence when he first joined but we did a pretty good job building him up. Sorry dude but sometimes I really can’t understand what you say. Oh well it’s fun pissing him off and it’s not like you don’t piss Charlotte off at times!!!

Chrissy (Kris-eey) – yes she was very anti-social in form 3 but now we know her very well. Well first of all, she’s white, and the teachers seem to like that. She is currently 5th equal in the class. She always considers the outcome much more then anyone else and has very deep thoughts and never wants to harm another person in any way (except when she punches me and she punches hard!!). Oh well I deserve those punches most of the time. She’s basically the Saint of the class (with a rock hard fist).

Gayan (Guy-aun) – Most of you would know Gayan or have seen him. Almost every girl thinks he’s amazingly hot, seriously don’t bother, he’s been happily going out with Melanie for several months now. He is on scholarship, not for his brains but for cricket. He’s gonna do extremely well as long as he doesn’t lose a body part or get paralyzed or something, but if that happens then he’ll pose quite a threat for the Special Olympics.

Chivanthi (Chiv-anth-eey) – Chiva is a very sweet girl, she doesn’t talk to me much but she makes all the new comers to the school feel welcome. Not much I can really say, because I barely hang out with her. Except I had my first cigarette smoking experience with her (don’t tell my mom).

Charlotte (Shar-Lot) – Everyone love’s charlotte, she gets all the good grades, sucks up to all the teachers (enough to get a cake), doesn’t ever get into trouble, except that one time I got her on detention for throwing paper (sorry ‘bout that). She’s currently jockeying for first with Zara in class positions. I don’t think I have any friends outside of school that haven’t met charlotte at some point. I always hang out with her. I know basically everything about her. She’s also a party freak, she goes and gets drunk and stoned, and then I record it, and then she gets all embarrassed. She is also very blonde, “is gravity going to the left?”, “100 100 100 100”, While I’m pealing an orange “Hey Luke what are you going to do with that orange?” but seriously I haven’t met a girl cooler than Charlotte.

Sheron (Sher-on) – She won 12 consecutive all-island electric organ competitions (or something like that). I remember when she and I were the school photographers. I’m happy that we’re not now. I just remember buying loads and loads of film rolls and the school would never pay me back and they’d only pick out 3 good shots from a roll of 48. Anyways Sheron is very fun to tease although I feel bad about it cause she’s very innocient.

Shankari (Shaunk-ar-eey) - A member of the class that I rarely talk to. I’ve never caught her doing anything wrong, whether it’s a prank or pissing someone off. For some reason I think she’s actually somewhat afraid of me. Ah well, she’s a nice girl.

Yaeesh (Yaeh-ish)– Skinny Bugger!!! Yayooh is possibly the most made fun of guy in the class, and I don’t know why (personally I think it should be Shehan). He’s very into his studies and puts a lot of hard work in. He’s also an Arsenal supporter. He looooves football, and usually is pretty good at it, this guy runs faster then the wind, although I did catch you that one time.

Anjalie (Anj-al-eey)– Anj is possibly the sweetest person I’ve met in my entire life. Once she said something mean to Sulaiman (I don’t know what). Sulaiman felt a bit down for the rest of the day. Then the next day Anj brought him a homemade batch of brownies. I really miss the free periods I use to have on Fridays in form 4 with her. Man we had the funniest time ever making each person in the school a different animal. Please don’t leave the school at the end of the year. She also has an awesome range of high pitched noises she can make when squeezed poked or thrown around. Someday, your head will explode.

Sararah (Sah-raah-rah)– Although she’s in form 3, she still hangs out with us. Very sweet and cute and seems to love our class.

Melanie (Mel-aon-eey) – Currently going out with Gayan. It’s safe to say that just about every guy has had a crush on Melanie at some point (except Seoho). She’s a really fun person to hang out with and is constantly either on TV, in Hi Magazine, or going to Switzerland or Europe. Although she’s very pretty, it hasn’t gotten to her head. Oh and when you put around 15 backpacks around her neck, she’ll turn about as red as Farij.

Shehan (Shay-Haun) – The big fat black dude of the class. I would have to say he’s the most popular member of the class. Whenever Shehan is at the canteen, everyone at the assembly area says “where’s Shehan?” There has never been a bad time hanging out with Shehan for me. Probably because we’re constantly thinking up new jokes and insults. Even when we’re with 3 girls that hate us, we can still have an amazing time. Then at some point, I realize that we both desperately need girlfriends. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to thank you enough for the card.

Usman (Uzz-Maun) – The Fat-ass Jihad. “Do I know you?” Usman is very much into gossip. He’s also very intellectual once you get past all that thickness on the outside. I can have really long conversations on the phone with this dude, talking about what we think of each person at school. I pretend to listen to his gibberish hahaha. But he’s a really nice guy and cares about everyone, and would be level headed if his ass didn’t make him all disproportionate (just kidding). Awesome bugger

Zara (Zah-Rah) – the brains of the class, very intellectual. Very smart and as Usman would say “sexy Zara”. I can’t believe I beat her in the general knowledge quiz last year!!!!! EAT THAT!!! Well Zara is also very caring. She’s been going out with Nathan for 2 years and change. I love my tuition classes with Zara and those retarded buggers. She could easily grow up to be a radio broadcaster for BBC but she’ll probably do something else instead.

Himansu (Him-aon-sue) – the Dark-lord of school. He does try to assume superiority over us and usually wins in dissing competitions although Shehan and I took him down that one time!!! Although himansu doesn’t usually look it, he has a soft heart, and cares deeply about his friends. I remember when someone in the class got anorexia and he really tried hard to help her out of it with other members of my class.

Rehan (Ray-Haun)– Possibly the most sophisticated 15-year old I know. He’s into Star Wars to a nerdish extent. But that doesn’t make him a bad person. I do feel a bit bad that the Star Wars games don’t work on his computers. He’s also really into movies. He watches load of movies and has learnt a lot that way. Although Rehan is amazingly cool, I think that if his parents weren’t so strict on him he’d be much more outgoing. Rehan also has a much defined style. He’s into Iron Maiden, and all those other Heavy Metal Classics. Don’t go to England.

Ameer (Aum-Ear)– New member of the class Chrissy *cough cough*. Sorry, anyways he’s an awesome bugger as far as I know. He’s an easy target to make fun of and doesn’t take stuff that seriously. He’s one of the only members of the class that is into the Doors as much as I am, but he doesn’t know jack shit about Pokemon. Oh and his sister’s name is his name backwards.

Shaufa (Shouw-Fah) – the newest member of the form 5 class. She may seem very quiet and innocent but if you find out about life before moving to Sri Lanka, you’ll realize that she use to be a pretty posh party animal. She messages me quite a lot and I’ve realized that she’s a lot more interesting then I gave her credit for initially. That was only cause I was absent for the week of school that she joined and everyone told me how quiet she was etc. etc.

Lakmini (Laok-Mee-Nee) – She looooves pink. She hangs out with us as well as her form (upper 6th) but whenever she’s around it’s a lot of fun. Very airy fairy, and that’s what I love about hanging out with her. She has a very sexy voice when it’s half lost as well.

Well that sums up the class pretty well. Please post your comments if you think I’m wrong about something. If you think I’m cruel to judge people, screw you!!! If I missed out someone, then I'm sorry, I'll add you in later or something. Hope you enjoy learning about my class and clique. Some day I’ll analyze every person in the school, but not tonight.

Charlotte, you finally talked me into it... I started a blog. So now I get to talk about my boring thoughts and lifestyle and maybe even put in a few of my drawings in, cool cool, I feel so special! Well at times I might have something worth saying but I'm sure very few can relate to me, unless they're related to me (horrible joke).
Anyways, I'm just an average teenager living half in Sri Lanka, half in America (land of the free, home of the brave). Yes I pretty much dislike America, possibly because I wasted my last 2 summers there finding out what it's like to be continuously ditched by "friends". Soon to waste a 3rd summer.
Oh well I'm happy here in Sri Lanka, it's easy to get to meet new people on a regular basis and I'm not known as the neighborhood immigrant here (although I live in an apartment inhabited by Tamils and Mormons).
School here is more challenging although I've pretty much adapted to it (I’m 5th in the form) with less then 2 months more to go for o-levels I think I'll do pretty good, hopefully A's and B's. Seriously how the hell am I suppose to study 6-12 hours a day?
But life's not all about studies is it? I prefer the social aspect of school much more then these retarded subjects. It's awesome meeting new people from every school, mostly from AIS, CIS, OSC and British whether it's at a sports meet, a concert or CNL its awesome meeting new people. Btw, I go to Moir.
Anyways, don't expect anything exceptionally amazing, just posting up my own little expressions and ideas which set me apart from most. Hopefully I won't end up making an ass out of myself.
Bon Appetite
