i've come to the realization, that, even will all my possessions, i'm not even half-alive...no i won't get rid of all my stuff! I love stuff! If anything, i'm keen to get more! But the feeling inside of me has to change...everyday i die a little and i have no idea why. I can remember as far back as 1989--being 4 or 5...and pretty much every major turning point since then...makes me wonder...

i'm pretty sure my family don't hate me but there's nothing i've done in the past 6 years that has really made them proud either. Sure, being a 'nice' person is something family may value, but it doesn't get you the fat paycheck. I need to 'man up' and waant more out of life...

⇒ gunDAMN!

holy schnit! My gundam order arrived waaaaaaaaaaay sooner than expected--I wasn't expecting it for another 2 weeks!

Anyhoo, as annoyed as I am that they didn't bundle everything together in one shipment and cost me extra (one more in holding), that all melted away when I saw the huge-mongous parcel. It's literally 40"x30"10" and weighed about 12kg!

no pic of the big brown box, but here's the contents:


i reckon it'll take me upto a year to get through it, given my accrued purchases and current schedule and long-term plans. I really should be doing things for my portfolio-oh well...

Three Laws of Ugobe Life Forms (as follows).

* A (robot) life form must feel and convey emotions
* A (robot) life form must be aware of itself and its environment
* A (robot) life form must learn, develop, evolve over time
from http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/
sounds like Ugobe are making sissybots kekekekekekekekekekeke. Enough of this touchy feely crap, where are the kknd rules?
