Of I.Q. Scores and Century of Posts


Wow. It's been quite a long road for this sullen little corner. A century of (that's 100) posts already.
What better way to touch it off by showing my I.Q scores issued to me after my attempt at their I.Q tests?

Alright, so it's issued to me by some dubious organization (i.e. Tickle) and I seriously doubt I will be able to use this cert for any other purpose than to satisfy my own little ego. I don't think I will be appending this to my resume anytime soon.

So it says I have an I.Q of 133 (fully furnished with the bequeathing look of an honor scroll and 'Phd Certified' stamp to boot). A quick check of the scores over the Internet says, that there are less than 5% of the world population with this I.Q. score (the average I.Q range is 110 or so). Which means... I should be pretty smart!

Funny that I should feel stupid most of the time.

The irony of life. Bah.

My *Bleeping* Resolution (Or Thereabouts)

You know the thing about New Years. I have had a couple of decades worth already. (Yes, a couple. Seriously.) When I was way younger, I've never realized the significance of a New Year, not until I was in high-school at least. Even then, New Year has always been just the zenith of parties, where Xmas was just the penultimate teaser. Strangely, this philosophy of mine is still stuck with me.

As I am much older now, and have started to integrate myself to life as an adult (Integrations sometimes come with teething and occasional failings), the New Year thing is something else to me these days. Just like how at some similar point last year, the change of years is, to me, a bookend of sorts, finally closing a chapter that was last year.

So I was at a party (to me, anywhere with drinks and loud music, with people that I kinda like hanging out with and the fact that I can actually laugh is a party. Actual location is... unimportant) and someone brought up this interesting topic that I forgot a long time ago... that the New Year always comes along with the customary 'Resolution'. And to think that I've forgotten all about it!

THE NEW YEAR RESOLUTION.
A must have. A symbolic thing that gives us a focus. A yardstick to measure ourselves and where we are going eventually throughout the year.

In my personal opinion, a rather futile and naive gesture. Heck, I think it is still fun nonetheless. To challenge myself to a couple of stupid resolutions that I am certain I won't make any head-way on. So.... in the spirit of fun and all that is dumb, here are my resolutions for year 2007:

1. To attempt to put all the mush in this blog into a room and stuff it. (Stuffed Mush-Rooms. Geddit? Ha Ha. Ha. Er.. Okay that was lame.)
2. To either be able to sleep properly OR contribute myself as another statistic to 'sleeping pill users'.
3. To finally take up some liabilities from the bank and enter the stage of 'moaning about paying bank loans'.
4. To be able to fight for the things worth fighting for. People or otherwise. I think I have been laying dormant for more than is beneficial.
5. To be able to actually keep a resolution. If I fail... well... what can I say, there is always next year.

So for all people out there. It is good enough to just make Resolution Nombre Cinco and keep it. The rest... as they say is just formality.

Cheers and happy 2007.
