look out, I'm old.

So I've been waiting to turn 18 for more than a year now, as I've watched all my friends become legal before my eyes. They all got to go out and have fun, and I was the youngest who stayed away from the fun. Well, that's what my state of mind was then.

Now that I'm turning 18, I realise how lucky I was to be able to do immature and childish stuff with my friends and be a youth, in my youth. Now I have the rest of my life to enjoy the perks of being over 18. On Saturday I join all you "adults" in your world, and look forward to the new things to come.

champion in the making

I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but I'm a Formula One Racing fanatic. Big fan. Screaming at the television big. I'm on whatever team Robert Kubica takes residence at. This year, he's moved to Renault. And what a great decision it was. Yesterday, Kubica came a fantastic second place and I couldn't be more proud and happy for him. Nobody can deny he has a very bright and exciting future ahead of him. I hear he is moving to Ferrari next year; one of the top engineers in the competition.

So, I would like to say Congratulations to him. As a fellow pole, this victory couldn't be sweeter. Robert is on the right, in yellow.

in the dark

It's currently about 25 minutes into earth hour, and I'm trying to keep myself occupied. I just found out that apparently replacing lights with candles is just as bad, so I'm not capable of doing anything that requires vision. And I had to sacrifice watching Alice on the tv, since it runs through the hour. Never mind, at least I'm doing my bit. As small a bit as that may be. Lucky my laptop is charged, so it doesn't to be connected to any powerpoints.

I hate having to convince people to join in earth hour. Last year I finally convinced my dad into turning his computer off which usually remains on, all the time. I proceeded to relaxing in the dark. After the first half of the hour I realised he was nowhere to be seen. I went bumping around the house, and found his computer ON. I can't even tell you how mad I was. It's not like I'm forcing him to never use electricity, all I asked for is one tiny hour. Nay, the planet asks for one little hour.

My conclusion is that my father is the reason our planet is the way it is. Well, he adds to the big bad that is the reason.


Then I read this comment on twitter that went like "on earth hour I'm going to turn on all the lights, heat my garage and microwave something for an hour". All I can say is: jerk.

the music to be mused by

I like to experiment with artists, it's just that I have a tendency to over analyse my choices and in the end, I walk out of the shop being totally peeved that I couldn't decide which album to buy. Even when I walk into a music store fully intent on purchasing a certain CD, I end up talking myself out of it. Don't ask me how I do it, but it happens most everytime.

Today I planned on buying Lady Gaga's album, but my mind took over and decided that I didn't need to own it, really. I pondered over the Arctic Monkeys, but I was told to wait. Muse tempted me enough to pick it up, and yet "we" were uncertain. I'm doomed to be musically disabled.

looking at the sky and feeling high

I know I'm being vague.
