Logicless Logic

can't think of a title that's quite smart and related to what i'm about to post so i'll settle for one that's long and pointless.

After many dreary months of lounging around in office chairs, prancing about the workplace with something to do but doing everything else instead, killing people you don't like(in your head) with the sharpest object(your mind), accumulation of weeks of toilet breaks, tea breaks and finger breaks(for me only), the last year of the first decade of the 2000s(I refuse to call it the noughties. It's retarded and reflects on ones lack of common sense.) has passed. Real quick wasn't it?

Today, being the first day of a new year(and decade), is usually about the time people start to take action to fulfil their new year resolutions. They usually do it by lazing around in the house, channel surfing to see which New Year's special looks better on TV, surfing the internet, sleeping or blogging. I forgot to make a new year resolution this year, partly because life in the workplace is pretty much an aimless one. It's one where people go through the motions(sometimes those that you pass out) and ultimately, reach their final destination. The one aim of entering that specific workplace is to ultimately get the fuck out of that cesspit, no matter how much fun you've had inside. I'm so much closer, yet so far away.

Vietnam, where I went for my recent holiday, was not so far away. Hanoi's airport is 3hours away, but due to timezone differences, 2 hours there, 4 hours back. My sister's mobile phone and ipod nano therefore, are not only miles away, but also a timezone away. Meaning she's never getting it back. But I digress. The holiday was pretty alright, but the main place of our trip, Hanoi, felt more like a stopover that was the spectacular mountain views of Sapa and the magnificent limestone formations in the middle of a water body that is Halong Bay. The scenery was pretty much breathtaking in a different way to Korea, where the breathtaking scenery is usually found walking along the road in a miniskirt.

The weather was good to us as well, raining only on the last day when we had to go to the airport. Even by then, the rain had already stopped, so there were no wet dongs all over. Speaking of rain, we did have rain in Lao Cai, where Sapa was. It came in the form of the local guide, who looked like he was a stunt double in Ninja Assassin, except that he was short, had a belly and didn't speak English. And he only looked like Rain to me. Everyone else thought that I was a blabbering idiot with a severe mental disorder. Which admittedly might be true sometimes. That's why I forgot to make my new year resolutions.
