Blogging Block

If you have noticed, the frequency of my posts have slowed down. This is due to my lack of inspiration of late. A writter's block if you will. There are lots of things I could comment about. There are many things that pisses me off. But its nothing that I haven't said before. And thats the problem. I don't want to repeat myself. So for this post, I will just type what is going through my head, at this instance.. as I am typing.

Our film, 'Bloody Hell' on YouTube.com is not going as expected. So far, only 54 views and its rated 2 stars. Not exactly the response we where hoping for. Far from making CNN news as being the most watched video on YouTube. One can only dream. I will upload 'Ended', a clay animation that has all the makings of great Internet fun fare but not just yet. I think I let a few more weeks pass before uploading. See how 'Bloody Hell' goes.

My internet connection really sucks. It seems that my ISP (Streamyx TMnet) is blocking my torrent downloads by throttling the connection. Bastards. I'm stuck on episode 5 of season 2 of Prison Break and its killing me. This connection is so slow that if were to walk to the U.S, video tape Prison Break, and row back to Malaysia, I still wouldn't have downloaded it. The lack of speed could also be attributed to the fact that TMnet bought crappy old port interchange servers thingys from Silicon Valley a few years ago. Just to save a buck. Once our internet was down because there was a ship (yes ship, as in a big boat) that dropped its anchor and severed the cable under the sea connecting us to Hong Kong who in turn were connected to the U.S. What a load of crap. This shit only happens in Asia. We are far from having T1 connections at an effordable price and satellite dishes are useless because it rains so much here. But we are still better than Indonesia, those poor bastards are still on dial up modems. sick la.. sick. Can cry.

This month is the month of Fasting for us Muslims. That means no food or drink from sun up to sun down. No sex during the day, no boozing and no bad anything, really. This month teaches one, self control and restraint. Its a time of worship, relection and cleansing. Body, mind and soul. Its been week now. 3 more to go. I really could use a nice tall glass of ice tea, right about now. Then on to T.G.I Fridays for a Double Cheese Burger with the lot! Yum.

My brother and sister are still in Adelaide South Australia finishing up University. I miss them. My sister will be done this year but my brother has one more to go. I hope he smart enough to make the most of his time there. It truly will be the best time of his life. These days will never come again. Trust me, I know.

I'm really looking forward to the end of this year. Its time to put 2006 on the shelf and file it under 'Years that were shit' next to 2005. The highlight of this year for me has been this blog. And that, I think says it all. Bring on 2007. And with it hope and properity.
