Why, hello thar.

If you've come to this page expecting me to proclaime that I KNOW THE TRUTH!!!!1111zorz and/or that there is such a thing as the "New World Order" AND I HAVE PROOF!!!1111 I'm asking you kindly and politely to GTFO. Seriously.

Given this is my first entry, and that my birthday's in precisely a week, I'd like to tell you a little bit of what I've learned in my nigh-20 full years of existence...but first, a bit on where I'm from.

I used to have a LiveJournal, but that's gone now. I've got a DeviantArt Account (where I've also posted under the New World Disorder banner) and a journal on 1UP.com, but those are mainly now for their respective themes of art and gaming, respectively.

I also call these "journals" because the term blog is for internet commoners, and diaries are for girls and emos. Fucking emos.

But I digress. Time to tell you what this journal's about.


This world is full of liars and hypocrites. Not that everyone can tell the truth or complete lies 100% of the time, the latter not happening without karma or whatever sort of concept of divine intervention kicking their asses sooner or later, of course. However it always seems that those who lie/shoot their mouth off more tend to get their way more often, and that apparently pisses a lot of people off. That goes without saying especially what's happened in the last few years, if you read the mainstream news.


But this is where the hypocrites come in. They take advantage of the people's uncertainty and confusion after the lies that are exposed to present their own lies and conspiracies. They know that their targets won't believe the first set of liars' talk anymore, so by the most basic forms of logic, the reverse side of the coin must be true. For example, the Bush administration officials lied about Iraq, so apparently they lied about 9/11, and now the "patriots" are here to solve the crisis with a unified populace!


Never mind that some of them have their own "hidden" agendas and promote some rather disturbing conspiracy theories. Like "The Jews Did It!" Or that their tactics when they've been proven wrong degenerate into name-calling and outright harassment. But hey, whatever pleases the crowd, right? Vox populi, or whatever that Latin term was. Elementary crowd psychology.


But really, it's all the same shit under a different brand label, hence the title of this blog.


About the other thing I've really learned is that a lot of what I am defines the term oxymoron.


Apparently, I deserve to be called a whole bunch of things because I'm Filipino-blooded but I can't speak Tagalog to save my life, I've got Filipino revolutionaries up my family tree who fought against the nation I was born in, and so on. I'm also getting bi-curious but even though that's "okay," it's suddenly wrong and hypocritical for me to also try to grow more religious. As if believing that there IS NO GOD!!!!1111 and that EVOLUTION IS FACT!!!!111 doesn't take away from the value of human life (although the technical term of "most plausibly not" doesn't quite equal "definitely so" but again, whatever pleases the crowd.)


I've never fit into crowds, and what's really tragic about this world is that people are still ostracized for doing so, no matter the crowd's (socio-political, not racial) color. If you're not in, you're way out. And saddest of all, the world's real thinkers really are subservient to the demagogues.


So what'll this journal cover? It'll cover what goes on in my daily grind. Sometimes I'll post the big things. Sometimes I'll post the little things. Mainly it'll focus on good old-fashioned cynicism. Saying that "we're nearing 1984" is all the rage these days. If people want to dig up endless Orwell references, then they can think of me as the Benjamin on this crazy Animal Farm.

In fact, I'll be saying a lot of things that people tend to violently disagree with here. Of course, that sort of reaction is not new to me. I'll also probably get redundant after entries. Yeah. Just so you know.

Finally, there's the question of why I'm doing this. Frankly, I don't care who reads this or if anyone reads this at all. I just want to post here and yes, it's because it's now free with my Gmail account. I post my opinions here because I'm free to do so. 2 + 2 = 4 and everything follows. There'll be criticism of the destructive variety, I'm sure, but hey, that's the real world. Live in it.

Yep.

More as I move in. If I bother to.
