Ever changing passion

I wonder if I can even call it passion.

Had been changing my activities here so often that my colleague here started critisizing my everlasting passion for stuff.

Lets see. Over one year of service here, what have I tried.

1. Planted tank.

Tried re-living my planted tank hobby from University days but failed miserably. Bloody water pressure here was so bad that it was just so damn inconvinient to fill up the aquarium. And I only realized that after getting an aquarium and filling it up with sand and wood. And I'm living on the 4th floor with no elevators. I think my spine is still a bit crooked today after trying to move all those sand.

2. Reading

A season where I finally decided to feed my brain something meaningful. It felt so peaceful spending a nice quiet evening reading, reading and just reading. Books after books. I was totally absorbed into the world of whatever I was reading and it was just wonderful. Finally, reality sank in and I realized that all I was looking at was static text. Urgh. I was living in a world of dillusion.

Stopped for a while and I'm now back to reading where I only read shit. Currently reading The Alphabet of Manliness and that's good shit.

Next book I wanna read: Why do men have nipples.

3. Sudoku

My aunt came back from Australia one day and found it painful looking at me prancing about the house topless. Taught me how to do Sudoku and I was hooked for a while. Scavenged all the old newspaper in the house for Sudoku.

Stopped when I was told that the average time to complete a puzzle was just 5 minutes. My average was 30 minutes.

4. Fishing (pay-ponds)

Fishing used to be so fun. Good old days where I could spend the whole day getting burnt under the sun and get a fish or two. Lately, I guess Poseidon has forsaken me and I haven't caught anything in a pretty long time. Alright, I know nuts about Greek mythology and I have a feeling that Poseidon has nothing to do with fishing.

Anyway, my point would be that I'm paying cash and I'm not even catching nuts out there.

5. PS 2ing.

Till this day, I never regret buying that PS2 of mine. It's there for me when all is dark and sad and lonely. I've had my good times with it. I've had depressing times with it. Grandia 3, God of War, Tekken 5, Fight Night 3 was just so cool. Jaws Unleashed was just bullshit.

Well, PS2 was collecting dust for a while there when I decided to pay Kiwi a visit. Played Burnout2 Revenge and it was so cool. Guess that will keep me occupied for a while.

6. DOTA ing.

My biggest success so far where I managed to poison most of my colleagues here. It was fun seeing how they grow. Use to slaughter them and see them squeel like pigs but now they manage to put up a little fight. Zero team work to some half assed team work. Still get slaughtered by other players though.

Fucking repetitive and boring game but still get dragged to the cyber cafe by colleagues. Regret spreading the virus in the first place.

7. Anime, Manga and Simpsons

Animes and mangas, good ones, bad ones, I've been through them all. Still consistently watching/reading them till this very day. Just got my hands on the 51 episodes of Full Metal Alchemist and I am happily rewatching every bit of it.

Simpsons, good shit and needs no introduction. I'll never get bored of them.

8. Excercising

9. Porn

10. Hentai

11. Dieting

Well, that's about it. Didn't realize myself that I've been doing this much shit over a year.

And I'm still bored, uncontented and passionless.

Wonder how long more before I leave my death note.
