My dear friend, I am not going around kickin the shit out of people who are lying hurt on the ground. And I am not bursting your bubble, I was trying to deflate it before it grows so big, it might just burst.Originally posted by kivichio:My dear friend, do I go around kickin the s*** out of people who are lying hurt on the ground? Why burst my bubble? My happiness is grounded in my material comfort. My limited experience has shown me while happiness is possible without oodles of cash, that same oodle of cash does bring a joy of her own.
My fantasy. 55 Years Old, A corner office overlooking the New York Cityscape (or maybe the Singapore CBDscape), a grand mahogany desk, berating my cringing underlings while my hot young secretary is underneath the table suckin my... oops, went a bit too far there.![]()

This vapid announcement is to mark the conclusion of my university education. I have, as of last friday (May 5th 2006), concluded my final reports, essays, and examinations.
3 years I spent in this godforsaken institute, learning absolutely nothing but how to lie, cheat, and ingratiate myself with professors who were arrogant, condescending and absolutely clueless. Days spent researching esoteric material that noone other than a few academics would ever show interest. I consider the last 3 years a black hole in my past, and can only be glad that it served as a stepping stone for bigger and greater deeds in the future.
With NS, I am now 25 years old. Half my life has been sacrificed on the altar of higher education so that I can enter the fast track on the promotion path. I now must look forward to another 25 years of toil, back-breaking labor and constant competition if I want to retire with a Manhattan Apt, a trophy wife, and an exclusive club membership. Then I have a few years to enjoy my reward before I get Alzheimers, or cancer.
Life is grand don't cha think?
Cheers to one and all.
Just ranting. If you're not amused or find this boring, click the back button. If you have any comments on what you felt when you graduated the last leg of your education, please share your thoughts.
The same way I endured the past twenty-four years of my life.Originally posted by pandemonium:What a cynic! come on, be more optimistic la. Otherwise how to live (slog) through the next 25 years?
I just grad and I didnt like uni either. I was always counting down to graduation. but since already graduating shouldnt you rejoice (at least for the timebeing), coz it's a whole new start and you've finally shaken off the dark history of that teerible 3 or 4 years. I think it sounds crazy, but Im looking fwd to starting work at last.Originally posted by kivichio:The same way I endured the past twenty-four years of my life.
