Can’t really call myself a rugby person. Heck, have not even played tough rugby before! However, the World Cup is on now and I guess it’s that nationalistic streak which is stirring in me now. Guess I will being taking a 2 hour break come Saturday… After courageously downing the mighty All Blacks, the Aussie Green’N’Gold will face the English this coming Saturday in the Final. No prizes for guessing who I will be rooting for! :rolleyes:
Go Aussies!
Recently, increasingly disturbed by the notion of truth, and the “how things REALLY happened” concept.
Judging from what I see in the news, whatever opinions declared by the local government here are instantly deemed to be the law and “truth set in stone”. On the other hand, both US and British administration are in deep trouble because of information-manipulation prior to the Iraq war, and the subsequent mis-handling of information flow. With meaning of events changing so rapidly, is it a wonder that one loses faith in the sources of such, official and therefore controlled, information?
These events, combined with, as an example, questions raised in the Matrix trilogy, and the intriguing novels I have read recently, really make me stop and think: how can I be so sure of the history I have learnt till now? It seems that if many of the current events can have multiple interpretations, could it not have taken place in the past? Can we then still have so much faith in what is in our history books? After all, that is only ONE version of what happened, not necessarily how it happened!?
Like it or not, Matrix: the revolution is the talk of the town in Singapore, and, seemingly, the talk of many online forums around the world.
Saw it last Wednesday – the date of the world premiere in fact, although it was not intentional on my part. While the action and animation are again first-class, can’t help feeling that some loose ends still remain. Some would of course argue that this is precisely the magic of the Wachowsky brothers!? 😉
Tonight could not resist the temptation of buying a copy of Holy Blood, Holy Grail from Borders. Being true to the spirit of proper scientific research, I just needed to find out more from the primary source, since the recently finished and fictional The Da Vinci Code seems to draw many of its “facts” from this book.
Been sick in bed for the past two days. Not a pleasant experience. 🙁
This reminds me of the time when I had appendicitis, about 5 years ago. Due to delay in diagnosis, and some complications which followed, everything was dragged out much longer than it should have. Looking back, the feeling of helplessness, and of being trapped in one’s situation, was really terrible.
