The final post

I caught Deathnote, the anime a few months ago and the anime is much better than the movie as it explains certain parts which the movie was unable to explain as the movie was only 3 hours and could not simply compress the information overload. I was impressed with the way the plot took shape on how a student started to play God when he was given a notebook and he used it to kill criminals by writing their names on the deathnote book and soon misused it when he wrote down the names of the officers who were investigating the case to deter the police force from continuing their investigation. The fact that he went to the extent of killing his own father showed that he was already playing God.

Although the lead character, Kira had good intentions of wiping out evil, he soon misused it and I felt nobody has the right to judge a person unless he's God. Many people would argue that Kira had made the world a better place as there were no crimes taking place but he has also created a climate of fear where people do not dare do anything that might get them killed. Free will is one important quality which is given to every human being and if we do not possess that one quality, we are worse than animals.

Sad but true. The majority of people I know do not possess the free will as they are afraid to lose out. When your life is decided by other people's decisions, that's the start of the slow journey. The very few who possess the free will do not give in easily and easily have enemies all over the place but they earn the admiration and respect of others and their respect.

I guess humilation is another quality which most people do not have. The difficult part of attaining success is not maintaing it but rather being humble about it. When you are humble about your achievements, you are on the path to greatness as people will respect you. People will remember a certain Hitler and even Axl Rose who let fame be their undoing and I guess this quality is one defining mark of a great man.

Random Post

I suppose this post will be another of my famous random post where I will be bitching about everything under the sun as too many things have occured within the space of a month starting with the Rugby World Cup where the heavyweights, New Zealand and Australia got knocked out as I expected at least one of them to last till the finals but it was a case of deja vu when I did a little research on the All Blacks when they impressed in the early stages of the 2003 world cup but fizzled out during the last few stages of the tournament when they met heavyweights. I suppose the All Blacks were not fated to win the world cup but on paper, they were too strong for the French team and it will be another 4 years for the All Blacks to try their hand at the world cup.

I hope England loses badly to France in the semis as they are known to play crappy rugby due to their conservative nature of not taking risks and going for tries and depending on Johnny to save the day and this team reminds me of the England soccer team where they depend entirely on one player like Beckham and Rooney to save the day and would play crappy football if they are not on the team. The country which invented soccer has a tough time coming to grips with the modern game. What a irony. I just hope those jokers do not qualify for the world cup or the Euro as they had raised my hopes during last year's world cup when I backed them to win it and they totally lost the plot.Some say that it was overconfidence but I say that it was the WAGS who took away the bulk of the attention.

Sir Alf Ramsey banned the wives and girlfriends for the entire duration of the World Cup and that was England's only World Cup triumph. Wives and girlfriends can be distraction to the task at hand and although it might seem to be a breather, I'm afraid that they might distract the footballers who needs to be focused on their mission.

I just caught a few movies over the past month, namely the Prestige where 2 magicians engage in a battle of wits and the Bourne Identity where an ex- CIA agent tries to rediscover his identity after he lost his identity and I would strongly recommend these movies as they have a good storyline and keeps the viewer on the edge and you would not be disappointed and I'm strongly urged by one of my friends to watch K-Pax which sounds like a B-grade movie but I will try to catch it if I have the time as the new season of Prison Break is very interesting although the kind of jail portrayed in the new season seems to be very fictious. One of my favourite funny characters, Haywire gets killed in the first episode as he adds colour to the season but Mr T-Bag's one liners and smart ass comments and Scofield's ingenious tricks and a few hot girls in the show makes this season worth the watch.

I'm trying to keep to my schedule of reading a book every 2 weeks and I hope I can keep to my plan and hope that I do not fail due to my lax attitude and my schedule. With proper time management, I believe it's possible to achieve this attainable goal. I miss Borders as it's been a while since I went to Orchard. Time to sleep...
