People keep saying that there are no accidents in God’s plan.
Life tells me to sneer. Religion requires me to agree. Faith asks me to believe.

I believe.

It comes early for most people. The thrill of the chase..the taste of victory and prestige. I had visions early, and the visions have not stopped. The world today seems like one big elementary quiz bee - you know you’re gonna lose, but still you study for it. Preparations galore, and for what.. I long for a thrill most pure, one untainted by human standards. I pray for the strength to understand those who would stand in my way.
 
Visions, not promises, are the ones really meant to be broken. Don’t bait me with those visions, for I have tasted your version of victory. To win by your standards, is to lose by mine.

Work has been picking up lately. I’ve been juggling my time between helping hatch a business idea I’ve been having wet dreams lately over and setting up the next big development project for the group. I’ve also touched base (such a corporate jungle-ish shitty phrase) with some steakholders (yea that’s no typo) on other concerns. I haven’t had time to process my graduate school application (again). I’m beginning to think I can never get that other wet dream going! Wait, there’s another dream, not as wet as the other two, but equally satisfying.

They say it’s the Zodiac factor coming into play, to which I say bullfrog, but the Arian in me is really begging to be released. Imagine, emphasizing volume over value. Argh. When you say something, say it with conviction and push the right buttons for Christ’s sake. How will you further your agenda (wait, is it really yours)? I’m tempted to think agendas don’t matter, your agendas that is. Your world was small to start with, so don’t squirm too much when the walls come closing in. You complain and whine and make a big deal out of air, it really just makes you a real class act.

Blue beats green, again. 75-72. Do you see the trend? I most certainly do. Go here for the complete picture story.

It’s true when they say you don’t have any permanent enemies.

Rule 1: No major project is ever installed on time, within budget, with the same staff that started it. Yours will not be the first.
Rule 2: Projects progress quickly until they become 90 percent complete; they then remain at 90 percent complete forever.
Rule 3: One advantage of fuzzy project objectives is that they let you avoid the embarrassment of estimating the corresponding costs.

• When things are going well, something will go wrong.
• When things just can’t get any worse, they will.
• When things appear to be going better, you have overlooked something.

Rule 4: If project content is allowed to change freely, the rate of change will exceed the rate of progress.
Rule 5: No system is ever completely debugged: Attempts to debug a system inevitably introduce new bugs that are even harder to find.
Rule 6: A carelessly planned project will take three times longer to complete than expected, a carefully planned project will take only twice as long.

Got these laws here.

Last week gave me a glimpse of a better life, albeit a life less secure for my paranoid mind. Better in the sense that challenges and people are real. It takes much to amuse, let alone astound me, but when visionaries speak, I can’t help but buy in. It’s been a while since I’ve had visions-oh-so-grand..can you honestly blame me? To want that which you do not have. To want that which you can never give.

I’m awake! My clock’s broken, then again, yours would be too if you chose to daywalk and nightcreep alternately each week. I don’t know..I thought I was a night person. That too has changed.

Come to papa…pic of my balikbayan box over at my good buddy Francis’ house. As you can see its full of military stuff for my airsoft fashionista complex.

Salamat! This blog has got me thinking again.
