Chance and luck.

"Destiny is an illusion - choice is chance, chance is luck, and luck is what you spend your life working for."

Matthew Bugeja - 2008

That's right. I said that one. If you see anyone writing that anywhere on the internet, they should be paying me some goddamned royalties. I'm just trying to earn a buck like Diddy, since he's bitchin' about gas prices and all.

Seriously. What the fuck is wrong with Diddy? Oh, boo hoo. The poor guy can't gas up his private jet. Whatever will the world do. This is the same poser that talks about how Africa has it bad, then he has the balls to bitch and moan about gassin' up his jet, so that he can fly around the U.S. recording singles and/or produce music that'll be forgotten within a few months. Cry me a river, Diddy.

Barack Obama looks like he's gonna be the new President. Surprised? Well, not really. Considering the guy has been handing McCain his ass in a paper bag for the last six weeks or so in the polls, it's not exactly a shock to learn that a black man is gonna be running the country come January. Can't say I'm really disappointed. I preferred McCain for quite some time, but I think Obama can pull it off too. Good luck dude. But after Bush, it would seem that you could probably invade Australia, and still do better than he did, overall.

L4D - Thursday. Say no more. It's looking great, can't wait to dig my teeth into the damn thing like a pitbull on a mailman's slinky ass.

Hmm.. what else is going on.. my whole M.A. dissertation is so far based on the following research question:

Does Al Qaeda still pose the same degree of threat to the West as it did on September 11th, 2001?

So far, the answer in my own little head is: Yes, and no. But the whole reasoning as to why I think is so complicated thus far, that it only makes sense in my own head. Here's to hoping a year from today, a binded version of my thoughts will be in front of me, and I can say - "This is what I meant." But yeah, that's not helping all that much right now.

In closing, for a laugh, check this clip out from Tropic Thunder.
