Stage-one-and-a-half

Aloha~

Unexpected isn't it that I posted this?

I kind of surprised myself by being here just a day after I logged my first entry. No there is nothing wrong about writing, but I promised myself not to get too attached with the blog or I'll lose interest in it as quickly as I become obsessed with it. Perhaps after writing excessively and tirelessly for say, a month, my blog would lose its initial momentum and new posts would be turtle slow (once a week or even a month?) and may even crawl to a complete stop culminating in the death of the poor blog.

Its just the hype over something new I guess. I think its the same with everyone. When you get something new, anything at all, it can be a phone, a computer, some trendy state-of-the-art gadget or some new activity, your interest or care for that particular item starts to peak to a level that seems unbelievably ridiculous to the people around you. Like how an owner will cry over a scratch on a new phone or how he will rather do a dive across the living room like some goalkeeper in the Word Cup Finals and break a bone or two and still smile than hear his brand new polished and glossy PSP hit the floor as it falls off the table.

First, the interest grows. After discovering the latest COOL thing or item, the person starts to develop a curiosity and starts to think about it. Like one who is in love this person gradually spends more time thinking about the stuff without himself actually realising it.

Then comes the second stage where unreasonable thoughts display themselves as retarded behaviours. A guy with a Nokia Sirocco Gold edition in his pocket walks along the underpass and he stares hard at anyone who walks past him worrying needlessly whether those people want to steal his shiny phone when in fact nobody gives a second glance or thought at him except perhaps to wonder why there is an idiot staring like the guy in the David Blaine spoof video in youtube.

After maybe a month or so, this guy realises what a dork he has been and he wonders why on earth in the first place did he give so much attention to a phone that cant even give him as much pleasure as watching loony Captain Jack Sparrow in action. By now, he has already forgotten the care and obsession that he poured into the welfare of the phone and gradually the scratch marks find themselves onto what was once a smooth flawless surface and dust collects on the phone.

After having described the three stages of irrational obsession, I gladly diagnose myself still at stage one going to stage two. Stage-one-and-a-half. To say I will progress on to stage two is a compliment really and I do hope it happens, because I doubt blogging will become an integral part of my life. Writing is and a blog is just one such platform where I can write. There are many others and besides, the reason why I am in the internet cafe today is not solely because of this blog. I am here to find out some info about my future uni life after finally receiving a long overdue package from my guardian.

See you soon~
