It’s my 28th birthday soon.
It's my 28th birthday soon. Which, all things considering is probably not such a bad thing. Considering it's damn close to a year since my last one. People tell me that's not only quite normal, but one of the easiest ways to get older. As usual theres a wish list here, for those that care, or those that are just plain curious what I have come up with this time.
Apart from the fact that I'm getting older (as usual) and my hair-line is receding (as usual) and there's a good bit of aggresive energy at work (more than usual), caused by deadlines looming like mountains on the horizon, I'm really quite well.
A number of my more esoteric, altruistic projects are moving along, while others seem to have ground to a complete halt. I have (not for the first time) completely given up any ideas of becoming a sophist or even a nihilist to ease my mind of growing worries that the world I happen to inhabit is indeed a fucked up place full of egotistical maniacs with entirely too much power.
The new Danish governments pretty obvious attempt at 'cleaning' Denmark of too many foreign influences.
The infamous G.W. Bush'es strange meanderings into Cuban politics to avoid extending any human (or civil) rights to the admittedly not-so-nice 'enemy'.
The misery of world poverty, lack of tolerance and general stupidity.
All these, and many more things, leave me numbed and slightly depresed, now that flirts with various forms of not caring have been tossed down the drain. The fact is, I do care, and that ca be pretty tough.
I have to say that last nights trip to the Computer Game Cafe, down the street, with a handful of friends for a serious battle of Counter-Strike helped release some of the agression. For a time :-)
