Guess I’ll be in the red again…

The recent Wall Street fiasco’s turning the economy tables upside-down, one by one, country by country. I’m not surprised. The way money goes these days isn’t really something to be amused with, anyway. Tell me a good way to make sure my money’s good as gold and I’ll pay you a million bucks. Then again, that would be economical stupidity on my part.

I’m not really that much of an analyst, but if I were to base it on what I see, we’re getting the brunt of our own stupid tactics. Companies are starting to fail as they have lesser and lesser options to choose with regards to the state of the economy. Money and property are starting to lose value, even if you have plenty of both. Using them would have to take excessive planning and implementation in order to get satisfying results, or lose both altogether as consequence. Sometimes, you’ll just end up thinking to yourself on what to believe, and end up buying candy that’s may be worth too much than what you can chew.

In my opinion, the so-called “bad guys” here would have to be either the State, or the big firms. The State would deregulate money, produce useless laws as excuse to implementing more taxes, or just control any essential company or firm to extort more money. The big firms, on the other hand, would either abuse manpower, evade taxes, and the most common (especially on oil), abuse the market itself. That’s why we end up paying more than what we need for what we need, and that is one big piece of bullshit.

But karma sometimes strikes, and sometimes it strikes HARD. Companies eventually fall when they thought abusing manpower would garner them better results. The next thing they know, they’ll be sitting ducks, pondering to themselves what happened while their precious little business goes down in shambles. Others, for the fear of the previously mentioned tactic, would resort to the opposite: They would treasure their employees so much, they wouldn’t even know if the employees’ are turning coat. You get a good worker, someone pays a lot better than you do, worker then leaves you. Or you can get a good worker, spoil it with so much incentives, and then BOOM, he goes rotten. He’ll be overpaid, underworked, and he can even go all-out like a wrecking ball when your unsuspecting little back is turned. You’ll lose good hopefuls, good money, and a lot of value for it. Then again, I’m a victim of the latter experience, so I can’t say what hellish whatevers may await me if I delve more in the matter.

The most affected business would have to be banks and insurance firms. They get to value the cash like it’s their lifeline. Or more like it IS their lifeline. A client’s dollar would be worth two hundred dollars for the businesses, and every withdrawal would mean minus cash, minus total revenue. And with the current economy going down like a full-blown landslide? More money lost, more possibility for bankruptcy, more economy degradation, BIG-TIME INFLATION!

I don’t trust banks much. I prefer to keep my own green under my bed or something. I need not worry about paying for my kept cash, or forcing myself to deposit more for the sake of it. Banks are SERIOUS BUSINESSES, so a simpleton such as myself wouldn’t even mind taking risks more than what I need to keep my own money. Screw time deposits, screw money incentives, screw loans, screw everything. I don’t need them.

So what’s the whole point of me talking senseless and utterly useless shit about the economy? Well, I’m living an “under average” type of lifestyle, so to speak. I may have my hobbies, but these are where my money is going, more than what I must spend on necessities like food. It’s a viable ground to complain to this useless world of corrupt filth. It’s enough reason to complain, and stopping would mean you’ve turned numb on this abusive reality, or you just snapped. I think I’ll take the latter option now, thank you.

Menthos, anyone?

More preparations for EPIC BATTLE, perhaps?

I’ve put up a schedule page to keep myself in check on my blog posts. Hopefully this will reduce backlogs, and secure me a little bit of time for myself.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, I thought I should visit a certain Arrow Duck’s website. When I checked out his schedule page, and saw how he was “organized” in his posts, I thought maybe I should do the same thing. Not that it’s really bad for a sudden change of format, but it should work.

So I’m posting a monthly schedule. Why not a daily one, Shance? Well, my my me, it’s not we’re always up there for the task, so setting individual posts on certain days would have to be really troublesome. Besides, there are some posts that only come out when the show gets aired, or if the game comes out, or if I’m certain I’m going to post some sketch or webcomic. So basically, I’m “generalizing” the stuffs, which would hopefully sync up everything at the very least. Not that you cared anyway, so scram.

Heaven amidst Hell.

It seems that in the past few days, I can’t even pick myself up. I mean, there’s a lot to do, a lot to accomplish, a lot to finish, and a lot to keep on doing. I dunno, I don’t feel like I need to write something, even though the episodes I need to watch, the chapters I need to read, the drawings I need to fabricate out of thin air, the posts I need to write, and the games I need to play, are ever increasing in number.

I don’t have any writer’s block or anything. I can actually write something even though I’m lazy enough not to strive writing straight English without a good typo or grammar error. Who gives a shit about English anyway? Ask AMERIKKA about that, not me.

So I thought: Should I organize myself? Time management? Scheduling? Synchronizing? Right. Do we even need that kind of shit around here? To be frank, maybe yes. Sometimes, I may be too occupied that five days pass by and an episode remains untouched. Then, on some other instances, I would be too occupied minimizing my anime backlogs that I forget about my doujin circle’s deadline. You can’t fit everything into place, and it gets worse by the minute.

Or maybe I’m just overworking myself, or something like that. I mean, find a person who can do all of these and still post up something meaningful for at least more than twice a day, and I’ll kneel to God and ask for forgiveness for being such a lazy ass. Well, in my case, it doesn’t even have to be meaningful, does it?

I like how my pace works. But right now, I’m having the half-assed feeling that I may be overdoing the pace. So maybe, I’ll have to devise a schedule for myself in order to have a rather “systematic” way to do things. Time efficient, clutter-free, quick, and it beats the lazy hell out of me. Time permitting, I would be able to pull this off without worries…

… Or get a Lunar Dial and do ZA WARUDO instead.

I don’t even know why I’m writing this! Or am I even writing this?!

I’ve been told by many people on how I write. I write differently when it comes to my novels and short stories if they compare it to my blog entries. My way of talking to most people are, so they say, “spiked”, “spunky” or “aggressive”, but that doesn’t surface much when I write or talk seriously. And most people tend to confuse the two into my active and passive behaviors, mainly because I’m unstable and confusing myself. Confusing, no?

And that brings the question: How does one write? How does one “write”? What’s the difference between the two? What’s with the stupid quotation marks? Or more importantly, why do they even exist as diversified extensions of the word?

Look, I’m not trying to get smart here, nor am I one-upping you, or bitching at you, or something. I just want to state out and answer the questions, or the so-called “assumptions” by some people who comment on how I write, as well as the entirety of the ideas behind my way of writing. I hope I made that clear before I continue. No Grammar Nazis, no proofreading shit. We’re talking about my “way” of writing, and nothing else.

Now, welcome to my world, bitches… Wait, wrong iconic psychopath…

Just what is writing and “writing”? If you have such a clever wit on the play of words, you’d get my point: One is real, uniform and formal, one is not. If you look at it like you’re skimming a book, you can’t tell the difference. After all, what you write can be read, or spoken regardless of the two mentioned above. These are all pretty much similar in a way that you express yourself through words and such. But think: How does “writing” become uniform and formal? How does writing negate that by being the opposite of the definition?
