I’m such a Geek
April 8, 2007
Every since I found that site to watch Naruto episodes, I’ve been doing so like crazy. Sometimes, I wish that I’d not find it.
Furthermore, I have even more bad news. I have found another one of those sites, this time to watch Bleach episodes online. Geez, I’m really turning into an anime freak!
Anyway, check out my friend Andy’s blog, it’s nice!
Anthony has a Teclast C280?
April 2, 2007
My friend Anthony has bought a Teclast C280. It seems like a nice MP3 player. Mr. Pei also has one, I’m starting to feel a bit alone, everyone’s getting all these new and cool gadgets. Well, it seems I will have to make some money then!
One day I’ll get one of those Teclast players too, and when I do, I bet there would be a new model out.
Naruto Shippuden!
Wow, I just started watching Naruto Shippuden, it’s really great! I just watched the episode where Gaara is the Kazekage, he is really awesome!
Going going back back

Going to Beijing in 8 hours, haven’t packed. Can’t get Biggie’s “Going Back to Cali” out of my head.
A scammed scammer, or the greatest scam ever?
May 29, 2006
Apparantly, a guy called Amir scammed a random student on £375, giving the random student a broken laptop 2 months later. The random student (alias laptopguy) manages to recover data from the hard-drive of the broken computer, and posts the findings on a blog. The blog spread like wildfire on the net, the scammer got owned, everybody is happy. Click here for link to blog
Stop.
I see three possibilities:
1. It is all true. The student got scammed, got pissed and did a blog. The scammer got what he deserved.
2. The laptop was stolen, the sensitive information obtained was beloning to the victim of the theft, who now is faced with a lose-lose situation.
3. The blog itself is a scam. Why didn’t the student contact police, contact bank/paypal/other-pay-service for the address of the scammer. The pictures, the porn pictures all had different links. The picture of the passport is edited with Microsoft Paint, as with the pictures above, which was supposed to be the work of Amir. The work done in Paint have the same styles. Several days after he posted the blog he decided to not to update it. Suddenly a guy from nowhere takes it over at another webaddress (May 29), who joined on May. laptopguy also joined on May. It seems he just posted it all on one go, meaning he must know blogger.com quite well, perhaps indicating he already runs another blog there. Lastly, he links to ANOTHER blog started the same day as the other (May 29), the author also joined blogger.com in May. All three blog authors joined the same month, made their post the same month (2/3 on the same day even!), their blogger profiles all look similar, hastily made without much information. Lastly (again, I know, lame) you could see angry supposedly posted by Amir under different nicknames in the comments section of the blog, and later you see that laptopguy has received an angry call from Amir’s uncle. This last part might be laptopguy trying to ensure us that possibility 1 is true.
There is no proof that possibility 3 is true, just a lot of information, when pieced together, might give an indication of what is really going on. The arguments for possibility 3 is the result of some quick reasoning, if given the time I might provide you with better ones.
Why would anyone pretend to be scammed on the net? Publicity must be it, brilliant idea by the way. I would have done it if given the time, if only I had thought of it. I can imagine the day laptopguy says that he is Amir, everyone would know him for the genious prank he pulled on the entire internet. He would be a internet-celebrity, the next Maddox.
So before the internet population (and the media) gets too hyped, draw conclusions too quickly, eat pizzas too fast… wait. See what happens. You wouldn’t want to laugh at an idiot getting owned by his own scam, make sure your not the one being scammed.
Written quickly, will check spelling and logic lateeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrr.
Timewaste
May 17, 2006
So I was searching for excuses to skip classes, it didn’t really work. All I found was lame jokes on bad excuses. Then I ended up reading on Social Engineering, and then tutorials on how to mess the teachers you hate’s lives up.
Basically, I wanted to gain 2 hours of time but ended up spending more time reading random crap on the net.
Still, the anti-teacher stuff might come in handy soon. The Social Engineering information also came handy, I have found the perfect excuse.
Weather (Boring topic)
April 21, 2006
Swedish weather is as spastic as it gets. Wednesday it was like a summer day, yesterday it snowed, and today is like summer again.
If Swedish weather was a person, I’d kick him in the face.
I fail to acknowledge Great
April 18, 2006
I don’t know if it’s just me, but a ray of sunlight on a dark and cloudy day really lightens up my mood.
Just like today. The sky was dark and cloudy, but from a distant gap, rays of sunlight escaped the murky clouds and managed to shine on me and the area around. I felt spirits rising, it felt that today was a day when nothing could go wrong. The moment was sacred.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but a ray of sunlight on a sunny and clear day would not have made any difference on me.
This is a metaphor for something Greater, something more meaningful. This is beyond dark clouds and sunrays, this is about how I function. I fail to acknowledge Great things at Great times, but will be more than happy to acknowledge good things at lesser times.
As I said, I don’t know if it’s just me.
Spring has not arrived yet
March 28, 2006
The snow is finally melting, and the long anticipated spring approaching. People can’t wait for the snow to melt, and melt it will. What is needed is time, and what we do not have is just that, time. We want it to melt faster, we want to skip this entire process and go back to lying on large grass fields totally stress-less gazing up towards the blue sky thinking “life is perfect”. What we have now is gray gray skies with a fine rain constantly falling upon us, tickling us, as if its scorning us. We have no green fields to lie on, what we got is half-melted snow that leaves your newly cleaned shoes dirty by the end of the day.
This is a point where the joy of winter is gone, and the goodies of spring has not arrived yet. This time is like an empty void, where nothing seems positive, it is a time of transition.
Transitions are always the hardest part. Changing. What does this have to do with me? I feel as if I have reached a point of transition, mostly academically. I feel as if I no longer can continue as I am doing and at the end of the year comfort myself with words like “that’s really good for not having put any effort put into”. I had some securities, subjects in which I could easily score good in. The securities are failing to provide. I have to break out of the box, apply effort when needed. I am in a state of transition, the hardest part. I have to change, break the habit, find a way out. I am at a point of importance, choices I make today will define me of tomorrow, whether I will be happy, sad, poor, rich, a success or a failure.
Transitions are always the hardest part. It’s not easy, yet not impossible. Year after year nature proves it’s ability to transition properly, successfully. Why won’t I be able to? Who knows, perhaps I will one day be the hobo on the street you are offering your hotdog to, or perhaps the hero who saved the world you tell your children about. Those are extreme examples, but don’t forget that the extreme defines what’s not. One thing is for certain, I can become anything, and so could you.
Don’t fear transition. Patience, spring will come eventually.
