BLOGGER



Youngest kid of six with an inferiority and black sheep complex, but determined that God saves not just his soul to heaven but the remainder of his manic-depressive life, so others won't say he became a Christian and remained a jerk.


MAIN THEMES

On identity
i won't be transparent before i'm opaque. and you'll get to know me starting from the small things: who my favourite bands are. what kind of movies i like. who are my heroes.

On Christianity
I’m convinced that when confronted with sincere, real love, the Jesus factor will become obvious. But let’s not plant the cross before we carry it. I’m not trying to con you.

On dreams
Some dreams are meant to be achieved. I know that. But maybe other dreams are meant to drive us, privately. Never known to anyone but ourselves.


OTHER THEMES

On melancholy
It is a sadness that, when choosing between crying and sighing, will choose sighing. I'd almost say that melancholy is being sad about sadness itself.

On memory and nostalgia
It saddens me when life moves forward and people decide that certain things are worth forgetting.

On language
I've learnt that the word irregardless is filed as a non-standard word in the English language. That's a lexicographer's way of saying it's not a real word.

On politics
Crowds are fickle things. So when we stand in the thousands and cry against the present government, do we know who we're actually crying for?

On society
People always want the best for themselves. But I want to sometimes take second or third or fourth best, just so that the loser down the road doesn't always have to come in last. It must feel like shit to always come in last.

On growing old
Leasehold property make me feel sad. It doesn't matter how old the family photos are that you put on your wall. It's your family but it's not really your wall.

On philosophy
I ask you, if God loves everyone, and if God is also incapable of loving evil, how can there be such a thing as an evil man?

On a daily basis
One line quips, like this.

GCB is under some major reconstructive surgery. Problem was that since blogger upgraded, my old skin couldn't take to comments anymore. Hence, I've had to put together an entirely new skin (just so i can hear your comments!). Which is a shame cos i really loved my old skin and i thought i'd settle on that for good. Then blogger had to upgrade and screw up that skin.

So, as you can see, there's a new look going on but it's really, really far from complete. The few things that are due to be corrected are:

1. the logo, which will go up as soon as i figure out how to dump it into the new html codes
2. the size of the boxes are all out now. problem is that explorer and firefox are giving me different results
3. font colours should be green, as will be a thing or two more... in keeping with the branding of GCB
4. the menu headings should also be like newspaper headlines

Gosh... so much things to do. And I'm actually too busy to be even upkeeping the blog, hence it's taken ages and bits and bobs of work, stealing time from anywhere i can. So this is the bits and bobs that have been done. More will be added to the place in the days and weeks to come. Hopefully this place will look alright soon.

At least now you guys can comment. So do comment away ya guys.
