Indiana Jones



When I was younger, watching an Indiana Jones movie meant being taken for an exhilarating thrill ride.  As an impressionable kid with very little to do and even fewer brain cells, I even heavily considered doing whatever it is he does for a living when I grow up, and still remember to shower every now and then.

So I wanted nothing less with the Kingdom of The Crystal Skull. Especially since we have state of the art CGI now. Despite the mixed reviews, I was ready to be blown away.

All these expectations had nowhere to go. Forget about thrill rides, the movie is more like Epcot Center (which, I will stress for the 100th time, is hell on earth). I don’t mind the fact that Harrison Ford is older and lost a bit of the mojo, or that Shia LaBeouf, despite the fact that he is a decent actor, is not very believable as Fonzie. Even Cate Blanchett didn’t seem comfortable in her role as a communist Edna Mode.

What I hated was the fact that many times, suspense built up and then it led nowhere.  The script was the worst of all, the dialogues belong to a 1992 B movie starring Dolph Lundgren, not the legendary Indiana Jones!

To make this experience even more cringe worthy, at the end of it, Indy just had to say the line “Their knowledge is their treasure” 

which made me want to VOMIT! This is not Indy Jones! Indy is supposed to be a manly movie! Adventures lacking in fluffy moments, which is how we like and remember it! if I wanted fluff, I would have sit through the chinese water torture adapted from a Nicholas Sparks book.

I felt like peeing in the middle of the movie, it wasn’t urgent or anything, and i usually risk bladder infection and hold until the end of the movie, even if it’s a romantic comedy. But I couldn’t be bothered, so I went to the bathroom. That’s how I know a movie is not engaging enough. This method is fool proof until I hit about 40 and I have to have a surgery for it.

on a mission to blog as often as i can so people will get sick of me

I have had three interviews with the same company, all three with different people from three different departments on three different days. 

And I don’t think I even want this job. 

So why am I making so much effort, right? It’s ridonkculous, it’s retail, I HATE retail companies, I have never lasted for more than a week, yet I keep making the same mistakes over and over again. However, I demanded a high pay, and they don’t seem to mind, so this is why I am confused on whether I should take the job or not. I know I’m not even offered yet, but I want to be ready, so maybe by blogging about it I can see things clearly. 
If I say yes, it’s because of either of these 2 things: 
1. I want the money
2. My mother keeps nagging about me getting a job
I know they’re both wrong reasons and I get sick to my stomach everytime I think about waking up early, sitting in shitty traffic, and having to answer to the man, all for something that I don’t even like. Also, I hated having to feign interest during the interviews, that’s why I sort of did it halfheartedly. 
I know what I want to do but I don’t know where to start. It sucks being this age with no directions, like an effin rolling stone.

But well, anyway, this has helped, I’m not taking it. Screw everyone else. I’m the one who has to do it.

insert sad emoticon here

As previously mentioned, I have an internet connection at home now. I registered with a fairly new company which, as far I know, has the second best price. I still have some unresolved beef with the company with the first best price (for which they SHALL PAY!).


Now, I’m not 100% happy with my provider, first of all, they are making illegal activities a little bit difficult for me, because download speed is a little pitiful. 
Secondly, the modem has to be connected to some sort of solid rectangular antennae thingy, which has to be stuck to my window, so now I have to move my macbook near the window for maximum speed, because the cord does not stretch that long.

Due to the fact that I am unemployed & broke, I can’t afford a router. 

I can’t spend as long as I want to in front of the magic box because there’s no table (i have shitty immobile furniture), so all i have to sit on is my beanbag cube, my back isn’t supported at all, so if I develop arthritis,  we know who to sue. Plus I have low blood count, so every time I get up, I feel dizzy.

This is also my excuse for procrastinating my blog remodeling project.

I know these discomforts can be avoided if I join that evil company with the first best price. 

If only it’s that easy, right?
Well, it is, but I have my pride, so I shall grin and bear the inevitable joint diseases.

this blog has gone sour

all the things that i wanted to blog, i have forgotten, because ive been deprived of a personal internet connection for so long, but now i has it!

and i may have a job next month. i’m not excited about it, but if they agree with the requested pay, i will do it. I work for the money, i no longer have passion. Also, I expect no fun whatsoever in the workplace. 

And i have come to a conclusion that some things/people in life can be forgotten but never forgiven.
