Joffeeffee, this is one addictive type of substance, like honey, but sweeter, like sugar, but much tastier, like coffee, but a lot stronger, like chilli, but way spicier, like the gentle morning breeze, but far more refreshing.

It's unforgettable how I met with Joffeeffee, and every encounter with Joffeeffee is unforgettable.

Joffeeffee is the best!

Darn....I was being called pessimistic... That's not me?!?! I am supposed to be the positive and forward looking type! Right? Right? ......

I was not pessimistic, but more tired and sick of it I think. See I am feeling all energetic about it again (NOT)! Seriously, I am not pessmistic. I was just complaining. Afterall, I was really writing it for myself eh? Just trying to record the emotions, feelings, thoughts and various of other rubbish mental activities during this period of time.

According to Dictionary.com, pessimistic is the adjective of pessimism, which was described as "a tendenc to stress the negative or unfavourable or to take the gloomiest possible view, or the doctrine or belief that this is the worst of all possible worlds and that all things utimately tend toward evil and that the evil in the world outweighs the good."
----Reference Source: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=pessimistic

Man, was I that bad? I don't think the evil outweighs the good, and I don't think all things utimately tend toward evil (didn't Bush won the Iraq war after bombing Afghanistan?? that should prove me right! right? right?.................................=D). Of course I am not pessimistic, I strongly think that there is still justice in the legal system and that everybody is doing the good for the society!!! Right? Right?

I promise I am not pessmistic. I still believe in the good and beautiful things in life, like the thoughts of this will finish really soon, and I will be having the greatest holiday ever afterwards...etc. See, who said I was pessmistic?

So my point is, I am definitely not pessimistic.

Then you might ask "what was he babbling about then?"... Well...

Maybe I was just simply pissed off...

One down, more to go...

What's that got to do with banging the head? Apparently, it's a process that every person seeking for Permanent Head Damage (PhD) would have to go through.

To be honest, it is one of the most painful process I have ever experienced. If I have to describe how it feels, I'd say it quite similar to the experience of drowning. The feeling of wanting to hold on to something where there is nothing to hold on to. The feeling of desparately wanting to catch your next breath before the previous one runs out. The feeling of wanting to survive, the basic animal instinct, which keeps you kicking hard to make to the surface to fill your lung with some more air. Just enough to get through the next struggling phase. It's this feeling of wanting to be rescued, to be saved. But somewhere in the deep corner of your heart, you also feel that you might just want to stop struggling and let go of it. Somewhere in your unconcisousness, you might feel that the cold dark water underneath isn't too bad as a resting place. Maybe it's not worth the struggle anymore. Afterall, who know whether you will be saved or not?

Well, maybe it's not as serious as the life-or-death situation. So if you want another example, it's a bit like SPINNING... (what's SPINNING? ask your friend, whose name starts with G!) When you feel that your muscles cannot handle the stress and fatigue anymore, when every cell in your body is screaming and sending signals to your brain that they are almost bursting and dying. But you still push yourself harder and harder to make it to the peak, to try to reach that imaginary top. Just for that slipt second of glorious moment, of achieving something, to prove your own existence right there. To show that you are determined and persistent of doing it, for that supreficial purpose. Then again, who is there to know that you are just a pretentious loser, trying to hide the fact that nothing is really inside of you where you claim to be the ironman?

It's a mind game, this journey of getting the PhD. Only the strong mind survives. Whether you are the brainiest genius of all times, or the monkey with a tofu brain trying to disguise as a brainiest genius, only the the one with the strong mental strength will survive. Getting the PhD? NO... I meant coming out as a SANE *object* (human being or whatever you want to put it here)... Getting your PhD or not, the fact that you might lose your mind on the way is the scary truth.

So there, another piece of BS was created for the boundaryless world.

bah........

P.S. What's down? I was referring to the article that documents the journey of getting the Permanent Head Damage (PhD), which every *thing* (again, substitue whatever you want here) seeking to get their head permanently damaged have to produce at the end... Still don't know what I am talking about? Hmmmm, maybe you are one of those monkeys with tofu brains......LOL...

Here's a great material I came across on the Internet while doing research for some stuff. Guys and gals, you will never have to be afraid that you will fall into sleep while sitting through any boring meeting anymore!!! The ultimum solution to that problem is HERE!!!!

So this is where it begins, documenting the last part of my journey. My journey to get my head permanently damaged. One might ask why I would want to do that?!?! In fact, I wouldn't be able to give you a precise answer. Why am I getting a Permanent Head Damage (PhD)?

Is it because I am bored? Maybe... Is it because I was scared? Possibily... Is it because I didn't want to take on the responsibility of jumping into the reality? Very likely... But these are not really the single most important reason for me to step on this journey of getting my PhD.

The truth is, I am also searching for the answer. What is the reason for doing it? Do I get any thing from doing it? Do I lose anything if I do it? Will I regret doing it? Or will I regret if I didn't do it?

It may take years and years to find out the truth and the answers to those questions. I hope by documenting some part of my journey will help myself uncover the real motivation behind all these actions. I want to have something for myself to look back in several years time and realise what I was actually doing, wasting the precious time of life, or doing something meaningful...?

So this is where it begins... Every journey has an end, where I am now is standing at the end of the tunnel, wondering where the exit is. I hope to map out some of the paths that I have wondered through out this journey and want to keep myself aware that the process is more important than anything.

May I see the light in the near future, take me out of this dark tunnel, and hopefully transform me into a higher state of mind...

So this is where it begins...
