Midnight moth

Seeing as it's now close to 2am, i guess this officially means that i'm into my third-last day of revision before common tests, and naturally i'm spending it by not revising. sometimes i wonder how it is possible for people to do the exact opposite of what they know is for their own good, without having their heads explode from the sheer logical inconsistency of it all. or maybe i just want to see heads explode (note to self: L4D soon; use the shotgun). anyway, it's only a mere 3 days till gp and econs, both very hard topics to study for. i feel grossly unprepared now, and i doubt that 3 measly days will change anything. but i'll probably still study in the end, if only to silence that uncomfortable nagging at the back of my head that most people call a "conscience". irritating little voice, really; like an annoying cricket chirping (notice the Pinocchio reference? it shall be a self-declared WIN :D ).

of course, shortly after that will be chinese and H3 physics in quick succession, and then... over. until the end of the holidays, at least. and after that, i will emerge from my cocoon of slacking and non-studying as a moth; fading into the shelter of midnight black, with wings dark as shadow. no longer will i be "that guy with 2 H3s", walking around with the neon "i'm supposed to be special" sign on my back. just your average NJCian with only one H3. i guess in my time here this will be as normal as things get for me. but it also means that i won't have anything to blame for my horrible H3 math grades. no more "i'm busy with chinese"or "i'm busy with H3 physics" rubbish. of course, there's always something to blame: my own incompetence. i'm afraid that people will soon see that a jack of all trades is a master at none.

today there will be 3 videos! :D this first one is quite epic, in that it actually dethrones Charlie The Unicorn to be the most random youtube video ever. it goes beyond even "so random that it's funny"; it's so random that you will be entranced. introducing Salaryman Man:



i'd do anything for a pair of flight-inducing business cards.

anyway, moving on from randomness to entropy (an intellectual word for "random"), here's a video that's supposedly so deep and intellectual that it appears random (and frankly very creepy) to us lower troglodytes. it's a music video from Tool, a progressive metal band that focuses on fusing music and art. the song's called Schism:



if you understood everything from there, then you should apply to join Mensa. if you think that you won't be able to sleep tonight, welcome to the club.

and finally, i'll end of with the usual kick-ass song. this one is from Bullet For My Valentine, a Welsh metalcore band. their brand of metalcore is not as hardcore as old A7X, but i love how they switch so quickly from harmonic singing to screaming :) this song is called Scream Aim Fire:
