You’re actually kind of part of an experiment right now – an experiment for me to discover what it’s like to write with no inhibitions.

Why?

Cause I don’t really check the statistics of who visits this site – All I really know is that it’s public, it lets people see what I’m thinking about, and I can more or less yap here with no real consequences.

As a result, here I am just casually typing away as part of an experiment or an attempt, if you like, to throw away fear of rejection.

After all, even if people don’t read this, do I really care?

Do I make less money? Have fewer friends? Does my audience suddenly rise up in outrage and judge me for writing in this space but with no consequence?

Not really.

I have no idea what’s going to happen in the future or how I’m going to change as a person in terms of my name and what I’m known for – I think that most people if they want can go out there and begin to make their conclusions, and it is starting to be a reasonable assumption that if I go out on the streets and just casually hang out, people are likely to at least know of who I am.

Which means that I need to become a lot more thick skinned.

Thanks for being part of that process, haha.

Slapmania

One of the most fascinating sports I’ve ever seen in my life is the sport of professional slapping. My first exposure to this wonderful art, travesty, or disaster (whatever you like) came when I first saw Charles White Jr’s slapping playlist on YouTube. Ever since, I’ve watched the odd slap […]

Seeing Is Believing

It is likely that you have heard from an early age that “seeing is believing.”  As life goes on, it becomes clear that that advice is only partly effective. There are many things in this world that can be true even if we cannot see that they are true. That […]

The Value Of Time

I am writing this after contemplating Fanon’s “Black Skin, White Masks” and undertaking a full sequence of reading on the way to reading Homi K. Bhabha’s “The Location of Culture” upon Shahril Hamdan’s recommendation – incidentally, after failing to understand it and after complaining to Shahril, I realized that perhaps […]

Secretlab Atlas VS Titan Evo: A Review!

Got the SecretLab Atlas because I wanted to see what Secretlab’s task chair setup was like after having purchased 7 different Secretlab Titan chairs across time. Beyond vibe, which it does check (in a different way from the Titan), it is quite different from the Titan Evo in a few […]
