10 bloody hell years too freaking late chaps!
I'll start at 16 years ago. It was 1995, translation service is a business back then. English was hip, United States has just won the cold war and is experiencing its great times. We studied English like science, it is stiff, numb, orthodox, archaic, textbook, and the tutor itself communicate in heavy accented English, yet near-perfect grammar.
Mid 1990s also saw the dawn of internet services, well not quite, but computer is the next big thing! I was given this brand new Compaq Presario 4780 with Intel Pentium MMX (233 MHz clock speed). That processor was hip at that time. SDRAM had been released recently, my PC has 32MB of it. Hard disk is 3.2 GB, quite big, took years to fill it up with datas and files. It has CD player, and stereo audio capability out of its Creative Sound Blaster AWE32 sound card.
All was okay, but for a 9 years old child, whose first language is not English, learning to use them is quite a challenge. Most people would chose to interact with then very popular, console game machines like Sony PlayStation or Nintendo 64, which although use English as interface language, are more intuitive.
So, after 16 years, or 12 years for most other Indonesians, dealing with all English-based computer interfaces and internet sites, we are more than getting used to it.
Therefore I was like:
WTF is "tautan"? What is "gambar latar"? "beranda"?
Google is the worst offender. I downloaded Google Chrome browser, and they without any confirmation, gave me Indonesian interface! To be able to change it to English, I need to download the language pack. Holy crow!
News update! Even expedia.com now have its Indonesian website: http://www.expedia.co.id/
Although most of the terms used there are sensible, however I must point out another shitty thing about being specifically spoon-fed with your own cultural stereotypes and attempt to segregate internet users: REGIONAL CONTENT LOCKOUTS.
The hell? When I said Google is the worst offender, just try to remember when you are looking for an awesome Youtube video, then when you clicked on it, a message saying that the video is unavailable in your country shows up. Bam! Because you are not opening a computer in a specific geographic location, you cannot view it! Sometimes the content owner wanted to release it a later date, and they don't want people to leak it all over before their grand launch. But sometimes, you will never be able to view it at all unless you traveled to another country and connect to the internet from there.
Look at that expedia.co.id, the Indonesian expedia, they only had AirAsia group flights there. While the expedia.com have everything but Low Cost Airlines. Here is a clue for visitors: why not open AirAsia.com instead? Surely, they will have more promotional fares and other discount offers, while travel agents have to stick with their agent rates.
What we really need:
Surprisingly our government is correct this time. They require consumer goods and "brick & mortar" service providers to use Indonesian language in their products, labels, instruction manuals, agreements, etc. That's what we badly need, Malaysian language, although has been used long before in many international product distributions, are not fully understood by many Indonesians, with the exception of those living in Southern Sumatra area.
Meanwhile, for our younger generations, who seemingly are being fed with broken English by their foreign language-traumatized parents, please keep the English version as default in computer interfaces and websites. The Indonesian language as an option is perfectly fine, it will be even better, if they are not using superficial terms when translating.
My browser's spell checker will keep correcting my British English spellings to the American one, however I couldn't care any less, since the most important thing is that the audience could understand the content. By providing Indonesian language contents, it doesn't instantly mean your company can reach more audience. Another clue: most Indonesians that surf the internet intentionally expose themselves to English as one of ways to study the language.
We are not Europeans, we are proud of our language, it is spoken from Sabang to Merauke. It might sound cheesy nationalist propaganda. But when I visited Timika, 5 hours flight away from the capital and still be able to communicate with the locals, it will surely gives you a special feeling about this language.
While Europeans, having their own tiny country, desperately trying so hard to preserve their own not-so-unique language and culture from each other, only making life difficult for businesses everywhere. Why do I need an extra pages for Magyar, Sami, Suomi (tolerable for Nokia products), Latviešu, Eesti Keel, Makedonski, or whatever it is, for a camera that is being sold in Indonesia? That is a waste of natural resource and waste of cost. Heck, even their total population are not up to the number of Jakarta's everyday commuters.
There is Google in Javanese, as a Javanese, I found that pretty funny. I still spoke Javanese at home and in my family., but the roman version of Javanese is a bit off. If anyone ever wanted to print additional manual in Javanese, please see my European argument.

Textbook Lessons for Real
I used to diss Dell business case in many of my business class textbooks. They lauded it as an "exemplary success" in many study cases published across many publishers (Pearson, John Wiley & Sons, McGraw-Hill, etc). It was 2004 then, but in 2005 they'll still say that it will be the next big thing if HP don't look out. Back then, China manufacturing corporation is not on the hype list.
It was the time when manufacturing everywhere can be "low cost." While at it, citing "low cost" by "eliminating middlemen" makes Dell have some "competitive advantage" over other competitors in term of cost and customization of the product. It is a complete bullshit lauded by many non-practicing professors and overrated scholars of the subject who probably never shop for a computer. Almost every computer can be customized, even the overpriced Alienware rig is customizable.
So, making business lessons interesting and wall-street headlines as interesting as gossip flash news. They crafted unintelligible lines such as
"Downsizing is sexy."
eeeew....
Cost-cutting is trendy back then. It goes as far as:
"Small is beautiful"
No, they are not talking about your hips, but the huge unemployment the article has created over the time, and in the end, reduce the overall domestic consumption, which hurts business. It argues the epitome of "flexibility" and "agility" of a company's reaction towards dynamic market condition. Being small, they are more maneuverable than their giant-sized rivals. But do they? What sort of reaction can a small company make when there is a giant meteor slams on your tiny office?
Business Analysis gotta be down-to-earth.
For non-lobbyist users, Dell is the worst service ever, their heavily praised "centralization" manufacturing & distribution center, and "elimination of middlemen" for the sake of cutting cost, has alienated many customers. Dell South East Asia is located in freakin Malaysia, 4th largest country in the region. Typical brilliant US entrepreneur's idea. If one's computer is broken in Vietnam or the Philippines, we ought to wait for parts from Malaysia (through Dell's representative in Vietnam) and wait for 2 freaking weeks to get it done. Acer and HP in the other hand, entrusted their local partner to handle the job and get it done in a day. Dell users, please kill your warranty already and find some cheap chop-shop technician to get it done! So, what business can wait for 2 weeks? What can kill them?
Apparently their inability to innovate is one thing that kills the "American idea on saving costs." Let's be blunt, Americans are never good at saving costs. When we tell them to save cost, they'll blame something for being too expensive and make a fuss about it.
Here is the list of what they'll most probably do when asked to save cost:
Ask people to do what they do best!
The solution is, not to try saving cost. The drive of American success really lies on this thing called innovation. We should have asked them to innovate. "Hey Mike! Please show me your magic on this boring-looking plastic box." And instead of him, it was Apple who did that. But even back in 2004 (6 years after Steve Jobs return to Apple), there not even a single mention of Apple there. In 2003 their iPod was already in the hype, but like most things IT, Wall Street analysts are too scared for another bubble. And college professors, academicians will naturally echoes the sentiment.
Uh-oh
Obama and his predecessors loved to blame their economic misery on low cost manipulation. Since Bush Jr. administration already done the 4th and the 3rd, Obama's political party belief simply do not allow him to use the 1st. So he used the 2nd: Put pressure on suppliers to reduce selling price. They are printing more paper money to reduce their value, and their costs in the end. Like most cost-saving measures the American tried to do in the past, this is bound to be a failure, for sure.

Reminder for today: How to Win the World
Back in the day when you can take someone's possession without feeling bad about it, the only sin that is greater than that probably is "making the rightful owner silent" about it. In other words, kill the poor bastard, but that's the only way people can think about at that time.
Then you can become a ninja, killing people without being noticed. Maybe pirates, who can pillage and going rampage, for the fun of it. They are the badasses of their time. The goals are all the same: taking what is not rightfully yours a.k.a. stealing, looting, robbing, snatching those things you wanted, whatever it is.
Today there is a new kind of warfare that many non multi-tasker are so hype about: the internet wars, the web wars, communication war, whatever it is. But they think that modern wars are fought in cyber world besides the physical world, where the classic blood and gore is still the main serving. It is war in the information age, thus we call them information war. People won't stop inventing new terms for the concept that we all already "get it alright?" Because it is somehow cool to be the first to coin the term. It is like spam fest or gaming statwhores.
Before we finish it, they already change the shiznit to something they call knowledge era. It was known for the IT buffs that Information Technology is a means to process raw data into information and from information into knowledge, therefore we now have evolved into the latter. Suddenly, a lot of minds exploded, they thought this is beyond normal. To evolve from one epoch to another in mere decades is highly unthinkable... before..
It took like centuries for people to develop technologies such as steam engines, a working machine finally. This is the ultimate weapon of that day, making repetitive action faster and more efficient, increasing production, speed, and capacity. They can power bigger ships, move bigger guns across the battlefield, and yield more death tolls.
Centuries later, people found information network. It is said that world war 2 was mostly won by intelligence. It what makes KGB and CIA so big after the war, they are simply very important and the big guys realized how important they are during such event. We enhance the way we exchange, process, and keep information using technologies, which is the very purpose of IT science. The awesomeness is like combining a ninja and a maphack system, the assassin knows exactly where the enemies are and where the poor bastard target is, and what is their behavior pattern, making his job far easier.
So, instead of walking on the ceiling or doing awesome acrobatics, ninja are no longer slim and athletic, but they can be a fat lazy trap-setting assholes who lays there watching it all day to see if the fools took the bait and gotcha. That's great! It is very hard to find athletic people, but to make lazy fat guy as efficient as badass ninja is quite a brilliant idea!
People are now dragged to the idea of getting the information firsthand, while it is still hot and fresh. News is one of the freshest source of information, they are like commodities today.
If we were really in an information age, then why large IT companies are facing difficulties? We see Yahoo! and HP are failing they have swift change of leadership in such short amount of time. Then we no longer hear the hype of Cisco, Sun Microsystems, or even IBM, where the hell are they? Even hardware makers are becoming fashionable, like Apple, a proof that technology has been deprived of its marketable dignity. They choose fashion instead! How is that, to think of one day in the future, a spaceship can has its own "attitude" like your fancy gadgets, triple Thiokol iMaIn-Space 89S bio-powered rocket boosters, organic lime green and blue ocean breeze paint jobs.
Anyway, behold on the power of the...
They are as powerful as they are resourceful. The business relies on supplying the needs of the trendiest commodities of that era: information, fresh and hot ones. They hold power over public opinion, and many have total impunity from greatest power ever known to man, even God himself became a victim to the mass media. It is all for the sake of freedom of information.
You cannot escape media portrayal and their after-effects. It is all about hotness and freshness... little concerns the accuracy. Oh jeez, that's too late already. Was this news legit?
No one knows for sure, nobody even know how to check for accuracy of a news. But no one can deny if a news is hot and fresh. Now now now... to win the world, we need to have some:
This will be a great business and we will be profiting from it! It gave us power and control over things that run like hell in their hey days, which is nowadays.

Last Minute-ish Syndrome.
This is an entry about impressionist people.
There has been a lot of talented professionals with weird behavior. We usually accept it as they are, because we believe people are unique, and everything is fair... some people are gifted and weak at the same time. We were told that we have to accept them for "just the way they are."
I simply refused to, and for a good reason. I pick people I want to get business with, and I avoid people, I certainly was being an asshole to some that I perfectly remember with, but I rarely regretted it.
I was this good nice new guy once, waiting somebody to "shape me up" like whatever victim of a sick porno movie ever imagined when they did their first act. But anyway, this is an entirely different business, and I am not talking about typical Asian education system orientation bullying or scouting activity. Being a real man takes entirely different approach, and surely there will be nothing like giving yourself up for your seniors to have crazed sexual humiliation fantasy on you.
Anyway, in this kind of environment, you'll feel the urge to show off all your best, just for the sake of some recognition, and extra pay, of course, but if that is your only goal. The super most bestest ever-way to survive however, is to be normal. Normal in a sense that you are doing exactly what many other sensible people around you do. That is pretty fucking straight. Just do what the boss says, no more, no less.
Going beyond the expectations is only good as overused marketing jingle. A tip for wiseguy: unless you are trying that same old useless trick in front of the boss, please don't sacrifice your team member.
Yeah, that is it! If your boss told you not to, why show it off?
Consistency is the king of all work. It makes the world plain and fucking bland. But that saves a lot of dudes. Imagine if they make airplanes inconsistently.
But these are the impressionist people, too much for impression, that they have this unexplainable urge to show their co-workers that "I take my responsibility, I'll do the extra work!" These people will stay late at work despite not being ask to, and tend to drag co-workers into it.
Well, to get to the right side, what were they saying back then? They all do hate it, if they can't get home on time. Sure! Every people hate it, nobody likes overtime even though it pays you more, unless you are sweatshop, family-supporting man, you don't have to waste energy to just show just that. These people aren't true to their own words. Some has just say that they don't like working for more, but here we caught the guy dragging the work late to the night instead of continuing tomorrow.
I call these behavior "last minute mindfucked good guy impressionist" syndrome.
My method to impress the big guys is just to give more than what was asked, on the fucking schedule. Cause nobody like delays, that's clear. I never intend to screw up a schedule just because I want to show other people that I am willing to work more. I simply don't! If I do, I'll just open a strip club and a boutique at the same time, then I can get really busy with workers of conflicting ideals.
No really, what's the big idea about showing off that you are a hard worker by staying up late doing nothing but the work you're supposed to finish much much later?
When the boss says, "go home" we go home. By doing that, you are not any more diligent than the boss. It fails for me, and fails for many other. You don't do extra work by screwing up others, make it works for yourself! And you don't clean the mess you purposefully messed yourself in first place, just to show that you are really working.
Some random Chinese guy once said, "hard work is the key to success."
If this includes working for more hours, then we can safely say that, if you work so hard, that you don't take any rest, it will be much better, cause many people actually do this. We might as well take their resting time, deprive them from sleeping hours, then we can guarantee the key to success.
LOL
It came to me that wise words are just empty words. It is like romantic story: it is just a story, fabulous to a few and bullshit to many, are people just being depressed? No, because every wise words are incomplete, like a piece of uninteresting puzzle.
No, really... to continue,
You can only tolerate so much that you finally realise that being a nice guy is becoming a championship lure, a sure bait, for barrage of pranks, trolling. To avoid such situation, there is no other option than to become wise. Just don't preach other people generic good stuff, and please don't copy religious textbooks, because being a wise-ass only fuels the good bonfire.
There are many reasons why I don't like Angeline Jolie. I imagine my girl to be much different from her. Sure it is fascinating that finally a non-blonde girl is "the most beautiful girl" once more, and I don't like blondes, but that's just it. All the good features are simply too much on her, too skinny, too big, too wide, too slim, too much, overrated.
It is probably same reason why I think normalcy is for the win. Normalcy is just there with reasonable explanation to exist and barely hang in the just riiiiiight balance. That is fabulous, absolutely awesome, definitely great, stunning, astonishing, nothing less than gorgeous! It is all!
Being normal is never good, but also never bad. Keep the last part in mind!

Subject Matter Expert, anyone?
When I hear this, my mind switched from "nice guy" mode into completely different "asshole in da house" mode.
The reason why?
Simple, I have seen a lot to justify my attitude change, especially in places, communities and people around here.
Is it that simple?
When talking about a normal guy, you have to realistically think that part of it is just "dick sizing" ego on the run, but the most important part is the other half: entirely logical thinking process.
Explain!
It really baffles me when someone let themselves deliberately misled and not taking any precautionary measures at all. That is borderline stupidity, making naivety almost sounded like a total bullshit. When we think about this, we have to understand that first, people are not completely oblivious to many subjects. They are idiots, but they should be an expert in 2 or 3 subjects, making them absolute geek/professor/master, granting them all douchebaggery one couldn't have asked for, on their particular subject.
W...w...wait.... but what about subjects that makes you scratch your head?
This is the time, when you need to switch to "learning mode" or "alert mode" rather than commonly thought-to-be good "naive mode," unless you are trying to give an impression of being cute in a potentially dangerous situation. You may have seemingly limitless brain capacity to learn about new things, but every people in the world are suffering from severely limited time to excel on too many subjects. The best skill to invest is the skill to learn things fast, or at least strengthen your logic/common sense/whatever sense. Not only this will make you understand things better, this will also makes you respect things better, and finally make you value yourself more.
I developed interest in machinery, this led me to awesome stuffs like airplanes, cars, trains, all big engines usually excites me. I also read a lot about world war 2, hooked up in a community of common interest, and absorbed a lot of knowledge I have never imagined to possess. It is as crazy as to think that one day I might be able to speak Swahili. But it just happened in 3 years, and now I am here, able to identify WW2 vehicles down to its variants and tell many battles that is usually not in popular media or documentaries. Is it awesome enough? NO. I am still not able to identify soldier uniforms down to its unit it belongs to, but only famous ones. I also have no idea about vehicle markings, paints, camouflage, or their particular deployment. There are some dudes in the community that specialise in this.
This is what I do in my free time to find more amusement: I hooked up by historically-themed computer game modification. This has made me a half historian, arguably better than most Hollywood consultants. Some of those guys are real-life archeologists and historians. Hanging around those people, should give you the idea what kind of talk I must be having along these years.
Subject Matter Expert anyone?
Hardly NOT! That is what baffles me to this point. The business world are full of preachy bullshit calling themselves subject matter experts, advising "real deal" kind of people on how to do their job better while never experiencing the real thing more than the guy he/she preached at. If we are rational people, this should be called "dumbing down" process. Forcing people to do things "our way" just because we think that you need another opinion, when you actually did not ask for it.
The attitude of this self-declaring experts are perplexing, that it has gotten into nearly changing the very basic definition of the term "expert" itself. How the hell it happened?
Let's take the business out of the talk here.
It started with subjects, most of people in underdeveloped countries find it not interesting, or more honestly, unprofitable. Things such as history, philosophy, sociology, paleontology, perhaps astronomy, and other highly theoretical subjects without clear-and-quick application possibilities. Even subjects such as aviation and technology can become superficial or peculiar in such environment due to the society's unfamiliarity with the subject.
This is when we see people having relatively similar regards, thoughts, and views on subjects that is none of their interest. But superficial things can go mainstream if it can relate to generally "stupid commoners." People like public speakers, motivators, trainers like to exploit this to gain notoriety and fame, opening new subjects to be discussed in everyday chit-chatter of generally non-discerning, ignorant public. But the good thing is that they really never claim themselves "expert", unless having different motivation.
It is not shameful to admit that I and many other people in IndoFlyer, AeroNusa, Avsim, Flightsim.com or IVAO love airplanes. We might not be an expert, working in the related industry, but we amassed tons of knowledge dealing with our real-life mimicking hobby. We even have real practitioners (such as pilots, mechanics, designers, scientists, business man) hanging around, sharing the same passion. Talent aside, there are no other source of motivation to learn, greater than a shared passion on the subject.
Alright, so you know that I like aviation and world war 2, but that does not mean it stops there. I have more other subjects in hand. I earned Information Systems degree, and International Business degree, I took many financial, accounting, and marketing classes there. But years in science class, has made me developed another interest for science. 80% of my TV time are spent on Discovery or National Geographic channel, other 15% is for sports broadcasts, the rest is mostly on news channel. I surfed the internet for reading scientific journals and scientist blogs, which is probably the most boring time in the world to many people.
Expert yet? NO! It only sums up how little humans know about the universe. For example, it turns out that we never seen the deepest ocean bottom (the Mariana Trench), but images from hundred thousands of light years away are everywhere, from Google sky to NASA library.
What tickles the ego?
It is when you meet some guy, who dick around, showing how little he/she knows. For example, the kind of people who keep believing the same old bullshit, even though cracked.com already pointed out in several articles. It makes me think that trollscience is pretty brilliant with their play on mindfuck and the guy being totally imbecile for not getting the idea of how stupid it really was.
New age is partly to be blamed. But repeated reinforcements from Blackberry Messaging Groups, Kaskus reputation-bait thread, or other bullshit blog entries really destroys intelligence. It seems that people reading it have not developed their mental capacity to filter information properly, yet. 4chan /b/ pranksters repeatedly put bait on average idiots that cost them real-life consequences, I feel bad for the victims. But they hilariously made the case as "evolution in progress," simply weeding out non-alert, hardly learning guy. I wonder if this applies to the dicking guy example above, but it seems the society doesn't have the slightest idea about how to think scientifically, so it is a pass these days. But probably not in the future.
The idea of dicking on a subject sounds corny, but the worst thing is how people exploit a subject to gain fame or notoriety among their groupies. This is the most disgusting form of dickery. You can just ignore idiots, but when they amass some number of misinformed idiots, that is where the trouble stems in. Elevated ego, lifted by group of idiots, in most cases, you can't really talk any sense to salvage the guy and his/her common sense.
Alright, don't get carried out, give me some... "softer" example, and where you are not in place to talk like a douchebag?
If you remembered about "crocoduck" case, one thing that came up on my mind was not the picture that guy showed. But rather a "dinosaur" (see the quotes here) called Archeopteryx. Really? These clueless debaters are the ones that churches sent to TV? In USA? WTF man? Any idea that might be hyped up inside a bunch of agreeing nonchalant, brain dead people surely cannot fare that much in a intelligent, end-to-end, open debate now, does it? Thanks to years of Japanese children encyclopedia brainwashing. I have all weird facts written by Asian scientist lingering in my head since childhood. My proudest moment is when I have successfully disproved most of its contents, especially its oversimplified articles on airplanes. But that was just me letting my ego steaming off.
My school isn't exactly creationist despite being deeply rooting themselves in their strict Calvinist tradition. But I don't see any down side of it, since they taught evolution as part of science, and religion being "the other side" of life. I like this typical Indonesian modesty, just when it at its appropriate level.
I can read about that too, if I had time. Anyway, the conclusion is?
If people cannot respect knowledge, how can they become experts? I mean, any kinds of knowledge, even those they deem superficial, fanciful, thanks to their limited information processing capacity. Knowledge does not regard trends, financial aspect, or personal ego into the equation, I urge people to develop more knowledge on the subject they are particularly interested in.
People does not have to be comic book genius or TV show genius (that is being jack of all trades, masters of none). Conan Edogawa from Maitantei Conan (Case Closed) possess encyclopedic knowledge of various subjects, except music. Kindaichi sucked at school lessons, but he possess great analytical skills that somehow failed him in other times. Let's not forget mainstream believes about such criminology-related profession in a number of TV shows like Numb3rs, CSI, Law & Order, Castle, Criminal Minds, and so on. Characters like Eppes, agent Reid, Detective Goren, Abby Sciuto are portrayed in such ways to make them look young, overqualified, and casually genius.

The reason why?
Simple, I have seen a lot to justify my attitude change, especially in places, communities and people around here.
Is it that simple?
When talking about a normal guy, you have to realistically think that part of it is just "dick sizing" ego on the run, but the most important part is the other half: entirely logical thinking process.
Explain!
It really baffles me when someone let themselves deliberately misled and not taking any precautionary measures at all. That is borderline stupidity, making naivety almost sounded like a total bullshit. When we think about this, we have to understand that first, people are not completely oblivious to many subjects. They are idiots, but they should be an expert in 2 or 3 subjects, making them absolute geek/professor/master, granting them all douchebaggery one couldn't have asked for, on their particular subject.
W...w...wait.... but what about subjects that makes you scratch your head?
This is the time, when you need to switch to "learning mode" or "alert mode" rather than commonly thought-to-be good "naive mode," unless you are trying to give an impression of being cute in a potentially dangerous situation. You may have seemingly limitless brain capacity to learn about new things, but every people in the world are suffering from severely limited time to excel on too many subjects. The best skill to invest is the skill to learn things fast, or at least strengthen your logic/common sense/whatever sense. Not only this will make you understand things better, this will also makes you respect things better, and finally make you value yourself more.
I developed interest in machinery, this led me to awesome stuffs like airplanes, cars, trains, all big engines usually excites me. I also read a lot about world war 2, hooked up in a community of common interest, and absorbed a lot of knowledge I have never imagined to possess. It is as crazy as to think that one day I might be able to speak Swahili. But it just happened in 3 years, and now I am here, able to identify WW2 vehicles down to its variants and tell many battles that is usually not in popular media or documentaries. Is it awesome enough? NO. I am still not able to identify soldier uniforms down to its unit it belongs to, but only famous ones.

Auto Tuning My Brains
Like I have said, I have a delusional mind that thinks non-stop. This is why I did a lot of zen meditations back in College. That didn't help. I catch tunes and repeat them in detail and it keeps playing while asleep. Have to play some instruments to make this gone!!!
Let me summarize the last 4 weeks:
Week 1 (24 July to 31 July 2011) - Ain't No Mountain High Enough,
Must have been that DHL TV advertisements. Shit, evil corporate mind control! Oh noes! I don't know which version they played, most probably it is coming from Sister Act 2. But I caught them in Billboard 1970 #1 chart under Diana Ross... and her tune played all day long until the second week, day 3 (Wednesday, 10th of August). I can't complain because it is beautiful and inspiring song. I cheered up when my mind decided on its own to play the mp3 record that seems to be stored in my brain.
Week 2 (1 August to 9 August 2011) - Gonna Fly Now,
I feel great whenever I hear this song. Bill Conti is everyone's daddy, this music makes Rocky much more cool, cooler than that overused "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor. My brains usually associate tunes with events, this particular tunes I caught from watching an online episode of "Alternate Reality Dragon Ball Z" back in 2008. Found out in Billboard 1977 #1 chart. Could be a cheesy training music, overly descriptive and too bland. But funky tunes makes this music a winner! "Yo Adrian, I did it!" I really need to cheer out in this boring week.
Week 3 (10 August to 15 August 2011) - America,
My friend introduced me to Razorlight when he is taking a bath. This tune is pretty catchy, it is a statement of surrender, regret, reality, salvaging attempt of the moment, all in all, it is a happy tune, yet a sad song. Why it keeps playing in my deep consciousness, must have resulted from the origin of the bands, the meaning of the song, and where my job came from. That is how complex my mind is.
Week 3 (15 August to 16 August 2011) - Nothing,
Whitney Houston will randomly appear no where in time because she is simply wonderful, and radios won't hesitate to air any of her songs. But this one summarize what really happened to me on those days.
Week 3 (17 August 2011) - Maju Tak Gentar,
Look at the date. I was playing world war 2 games and feel this need for some local marching song. Then I got this awesome tunes from Cornel Simanjuntak played by TV stations: Maju tak Gentar (lit. Forward Undaunted). A literal marching song that pretty much self-explanatory and very descriptive on its purpose. I'm out of wit.
Week 3 (18 August - 20 August 2011) - Es War Ein Edelweiss
This is a 1941 German Army marching song. Introduced by Forgotten Hope 2 for Battlefield 2 game modifications, it sets out all tunes that makes you feel the authentic world war 2 era more than the Hollywood or commercial writers tried hard to imply to its audiences. The German soldier choir version is the particular one. National Geographic Channel began to re-air "Apocalypse: The Second World War" after the successful 2009 runs. I could picture in my mind of Landsers marching through the industrial streets I passed every day these last 2 weeks while this tune plays. I couldn't wipe the imagination of them passing at big pavement aprons viewed from the big windows of the terminal 3 Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. Jeez! People are marching everywhere! This one is really a personal turd that no one can relates to.
Week 3 (21 August 2011) - Gonna Fly Now,
It is back! Oh gosh! Must be Kung Fu Panda 2 overturned. My logic somehow relates Po in searching with this common training song. But I laughed on many occasions.
Week 4 (22 August 2011 - now) - Another Brick in the Wall part II,
I will never understand Pink Floyd, but this eerie song keeps playing in my brain. Trying to catch the source to Youtube doesn't help: it became worse. Shite! In one of the pictures, I saw the kids singing to me: "We don't need no thought control" - bull and carp, they are trying to fill my consciousness! "No dark sarcasm in the classroom" - I remember there are no teacher smart enough to make sarcastic remarks that last more than a day. Must have been someone else' experience. I shall shat bricks if I see it once again.
The most disturbing one: Another Brick in the Wall part II by Pink Floyd. They even gave nonchalant conclusion end to their own song: "All in all, we are just another brick in the wall."
It raises questions: what kind of brick? Am I that old fashioned clay bricks or that boring concrete bricks? Whose laid on top of me? Whose below me? Why I was here? Why no one put a paint over us? Why would they like to see us when we are just another brick in the wall? Are we that similar to each other? What kind of building are we making? Are we bomb proof? Yeah basically this can go on until I find another tune that is not Pink Floyd.
My friends say, to understand psychedelic songs, one needs to smoke dope or at least cannabis. Holy Caribbean Cow! I'd take Tequila.

Eff That!
What the...
Are you serious? What kind of things you are going to write on your first blog entry? Afraid to sound like n00b? You are not a n00b aren't you?
I have written lots of things these 7 years.
Readers know what I mean. Really, sometimes I have to say "eff that!" to many things. I just did that recently. I shouldn't be angry, that is exactly why I just did that. There are complicated things that need more attention, and I am your detail man. I love details, I like details, I dig it. But, sometimes it is just too much and somehow you know that it is not going to worth it.
I see people who are more crazed about details than me, that doesn't set me back. That only makes me stop claiming myself to be a "person who have exceptional attention to details" and all that false descriptions.
Are you trying to sound smart, smartass? Do you want your blog to look perfect by making smartass preachy entries?
In fact no. I have been working in a position to help other people's business, literary being a real smartass. I have enough of it. But I am not going to lash out personal shit out here. I don't want to look "cool", "unique", or such hipster try-hards. In fact, I am helping people who bother to read this, a big favor by making every entries barely readable, some grammar, spellings and less personal. I'll save a lot of resources and search engine keywords matching process and all that. All of these entries will be my thinking process. I hope the rationale suits them.
You politically correct cowards, I dare you!
Well, fuck political correctness.
Are you trying to cover all bases? What are you? Karma chameleon? How long you think you can hold on?
I never stops thinking, probably that is why. If you hate my brain, then go on and poison it with something like Simcity games, realism game modifications, or Flight Simulators, yeah... that will kill it alright.
I am kind of delusional, in my real brain, questions like little texts in this particular entry will appear every where in my mind. I self-diagnose myself as a schizophrenic. But that is okay, I can bear with that. The real shits for my brains are mofos that I am going to tell "Eff this! Done with you, kthxbye!" That will be awesome. Most people I know don't think very much, despite viewing themselves as a wise, successful, generous bullshit.
They think they can stop thinking about what others say, just because of all what they think they already have. I am wishing here that I can break all that house of contradiction they are currently dwelling in. Brain cells only stop working when humans die (or when you have too much MSG, having Alzheimer), there is no "oh focking too tired for this." They badly need to contract Alzheimer disease.
I need disco music.
