Now Playing - Simple Plan

I seem to have finally found a band I actually listen to. I don't know why, but I'm actually listening to this band more than any other. To be able to push itself to more than 5 mp3s on my list is more than reason to show them some level of praise. I would actually find their album viable to listen to, compared to other bands. The last band I remember having an album being completely viable to listen to completely was ABBA. :P Thinking logically, I don't know if I will actually come to like this band known as Simple Plan. For now, let's just say I've found quite a liking for them in comparison to other modern bands. Until then, I'll be off to studying again. ;) To visit Simple Plan's web site, click here.

New Year Resolution

What is your new year resolution? Mine is to actually study, as most of you should already know. Part of my new year resolution actually involves me getting this new domain name, known as cfgt.net. I have a few other secret resolutions that will be unraveled as I go through the paces of building my web site. I love building a web site, but I seriously hate studying. I despise this act known as mugging the books. I hate it, I hate people who do it. I believe that only absolute study nerds would put themselves through such 'torment'. Most of them actually enjoy it, but some people slug it out in full force. I plainly can't do that. My absolute strength is application. Give me nearly any application question and I'll answer it to the full extent of my ability. I admire those people who can both mug and apply very well, but I heavily look down on those who mug only. What my other resolution? To release a set of the initial rules for Sword Fantasy. Why? So I can finally build a game based on it. I'll probably have a lot of balancing to do at first, so that all classes are good first classes. :D

Last Post for 2004

Some of you on MSN Messsenger should have noticed my nick now says: "Atropos: New Year Resolution - To actually study." What is this supposed to mean? It means my new year resolution is to actually sit down and study for any future exams. I haven't really been truly studying. In fact I've been flipping through my books to no avail at trying to get information into my head. It's true what they say in Economics about diminishing marginal utility. The more time you spend studying, the less goes into your head. In this case, the marginal increase in knowledge becomes negative after too much studying. In case you haven't noticed, I've put a rather makeshift copyright notice on the bottom of the sidebar. I'll eventually put an exclusion clause. For now, that exclusion clause would be implied as I have written nothing yet. If you want proof that I believe in the contingency theory, note that I used Mambo for this site, and I will be using Drupal for another site I'm working on. I believe that different projects need different approached. Every situation is unique. I also realised that I'm a task oriented leader, being as emotionless as I supposedly am. :D I've always begun to look at buying and selling things in a new light, by creating and discharing contracts nearly immediately. The inherent effects of my entire post right here could probably be a change in the demand for my blog, which could inadvertedly change the supply (the rate at which I post). Of course, if I decide to post more often, I'm pretty sure that it would be no problem. And about the tsunami survivors, they should be really happy. Despite having to writeoff many of their now destroyed assets, as well as having to bear higher liabilities (emergency money from credit cards), they survived. With such a large amount of people dead, it is safe to say that the supply of labour will shift to a lower graph, which would mean that the price for labour (pay) which would be survivors would be higher. In addition, the supply of lodging would be vastly different now. Eventually, the houses would be rebuilt. The houses would be rebuilt at a higher rate than the population of survivors, therefore the supply of houses would return to the point they were in about 5 years. This however means that the rent for these places would be considerably lower. This as it is would mean that the tsunami provides some form of economic relief for survivors, at costs that are pretty high, equalling to emotional damage suffered as well as economic loss. However, it is not possible to sue God for the tort of negligence of the people as there is no court powerful enough to rule upon such power. In addition, God is not exactly our neighbour, but God's actions directly affect us, and thus.... (I'll stop here before I bore you guys to Death.) Now, enjoy your New Year. Hope you enjoyed this post for all it was worth.

Update: I'm Back

Being as ironic as it is, my Internet came back on the moment I posted that it would be back the moment the Internet came back. Talk about irony. I'm back online again, but expect the next few rants to be heavily filled with management theories, basic law jargon and economics. (all of this with budgeting and debit/credit included!)

No Internet, Finals Coming. *sob*

My Internet is down. How convenient. Now I get to focus on my studies. I hate my ISP, but who can argue with occasional downtimes but with superb Internet connection with minimal charges? But I need to check my mail. Having it abandoned for the better half of a week can have it rake in roughly 10-20 e-mails, and I can't make updates to the site without my computer. This is a terrible situation. I bid you adieu until my Internet connection is back.
