Si beh DIFFICULT lah!!!
I had already tried to blog a few years ago. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY before
a quirky lecturer in my "New Communication Technologies" course advocated it as a process that could possibly be
a "remediative, digital conversion of our analogue relationship with media content from a passive discourse to one of true interactivity."
He didn't exactly say that.
He doesn't say anything exact for that matter.
Which is fine with me,
because I get how academia land pple generally speak.
Actually, Academia land pple don't speak.
They usually "engage in a continous discourse and exchange of ideals, ideas, ideologies, i-podologies, nothing-can-be-defined-everything-
because-that-would-be-reductionistic0-deterministic-
stereotypicalistic-pigeonholelistic-
fishstick-pogostick-."
What was my point.
ok.
yes.
No,
wait,
let me talk a bit about
the philosophical ideas that led to this paradigm shift first...no..
wait..ok,
maybe we really are wrong about Bush.
Maybe when the secret
Instant Messages
betwn Blair and Bush are published in the future,
we will understand why the Iraq war was so great.
Supposedly, defeatists tried dissuading Churchhill from engaging Hitler
in war.
Maybe more than a few Brits from that era thought Churchhill was a fat idiot before victorious, reductionistic history proved otherwise.
oh man. Blogging....
i mean, EXHIBITIONISITIC WRITING,
is gun.
fun.
I mean. great fun.
you just ype and ype and ype.
and ype.
ok, so why didn't I start blogging before
Mr Brown became the 1st blogger in Singapore.
WA LAO! because I'm lazy! and Wa lao!!!!
Because customizing your own blog is SEI beh** DIFFICULT!
Truth be told, unless you know a fair bit of CSS and HTML programming,
it is really quite difficult to customize your blog
with your desired colours, graphics and text layout structures, link sequences
etc. etc.
So, because it was SI BEH difficult to get my own desired blog design,
I took the post-modernistic
approach.
I told myself I was stupid, lazy and helpless, and gave up.
BUT hated feeling stupid, lazy and helpless.
So I installed web-design programs like Flash, and Dreamweaver.
[wa! Flash! wa, weave my dreams online! wa! wa! wa! Ype. ype]
and created a website for my father - http://www.wutaiji.2ya.com/
a website for my girlfriend - http://www.sja.2ya.com/
and
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
A COUNTRY FOR MYSELF!!!
I called it BOX REPUBLIC!
F***K blogging (wa liewz, self-censorship***),
I'm creating my own COUNTRY!
I'm gonna be too busy running my own country to blog.
It will have a Business District
It will have a Bohemia Bazaar
It will carry my hopes and dreams
of building up my own media empire.
muauuahahaahahahahhaahaha.
Before boxrepublic,
I was already REMEDIATING THE DAMN WEB terry johal,
hahahahaha!
*why the evil laughter? I have no idea... *
I did this
I named it 66 shots.
because I was born on the 6th of June and I thot this was a fair bit of intellectual
masturbation;
a great bit of CREATIVE GUN-SLINGING.
[Typing in Caps EMPHASIZES YOUR DAMN IMPORTNAT POINTS, and makes any typos much more noticeable]
So,
Do I have to Blog to prove my point?
I have a digital relationship
with the pop cultural content I consume.
But there's always a lean-back passive brain-dead consumption situation.
Especially when I listen to smooth jazz and watch beautiful blondes engage in carnal acts. oops!
So Why am I blogging now?
Because, well, this academic contextualizing,
and re-defining of the dynamics between audience, media and creator is
fun and yes,
we need to move beyond the TV remote, the keyboard, the mouse-clicks, the links, and..
the blogs**!
[**So it's abt time to stop passively consuming blogs,
and start...blogging!]
Because well,
this is another avenue of promoting "Box Republic" and...
I've got designs and
services on it I can sell....
[Will write about escaping the Rat Race in next blog].
Because,
Terry!(and Allan!)
I think/hope this in some ways shows you pple get your lessons/lectures/rants/raves
Mr Brown!
The part-time universally lecherer, you were keeping it real,
and really groovy in sharing your wonderful experiences abt blogging with us! Thanks again. More applause, more power to ya.
Oh ya, you will definitely find probls
with the Content Flow, the Link Structures etc
with my websites
and you will definitely shake your head at the problematicishy "web user experience."
[Of course, Im assuming
he actually clicks on my blog,
reads to this point, and then actually clicked on some links above.
I think he definitely clicked on that link to topless boxing..
oh wait, that was in my previous blog.]
On the nest
net,
everyone's attention span is very short. . .
So!
Blogging is Exhibitionistic,
Remediative (As in its academic definition, not to be confused with anything therapeutic] AND
Therapeutic.
and catharsishy!
but customizing your blog is Si Beh difficult !!!!

I thought your Link Structures were quite good actually, and you managed to successfully convert your analogue relationship with media content from a passive discourse to one of true interactivity.
Better line breaks would go a long way in establishing readability. Although this may be deliberate, if the post was meant to be poetry (which you seem very familiar with).
I'm a Meekia man myself.
Heheh.
P.S. Your gerfren very chio leh.
