I found the word i was looking for, Tim Seow.
Weltschmerz: the kind of feeling experienced by someone who understands that physical reality can never satisfy the demands of the mind.
Its abit too early to say Never. Maybe one day if i can consistently forge Annie Leibovitz style photographs, keep my day job and still be an awesome human being (or just plain magnificent bastard-dom), i will be content.
Anyway, bless the Germans for coming up with such brilliant words. English is pathetic.
Books to read this weekend: Steppenwolf by Hesse and The Stranger by Camus.

I really like the idea of wearing a holster.
I would wear it while on holiday and use it to hold my passport and monies. Also, it might increase the chances of me getting shot or stabbed if i were to get mugged.
Hes going for his Gun! Stab him!
Oh no, gentlemen, I’m merely acceding to your demands! If you will just let me untangle my Apple In-Ear Earphones ™ …
Stab him! Stab him
*woeful look*
On a side note, Heckler & Koch is really a brilliant name for a gun company. Second place goes to Smith & Wesson.
Hey, want to meet the twins?

I’m going to geek out abit here.
Dither is such an fascinating word. According to wiki : Dither is an intentionally applied form of Noise, used to randomize quantization error, thereby preventing large-scale patterns such as contouring that are more objectionable than uncorrelated noise.
In images, Dithering is the diffusion of a couple basic colors to give an illusion of depth. Basically, we can make many small blue and red squares to give the illusion of the color violet.
One of the earliest applications of dither came in World War II. Airplane bombers used mechanical computers to perform navigation and bomb trajectory calculations. Curiously, these computers (boxes filled with hundreds of gears and cogs) performed more accurately when flying on board the aircraft, and less well on ground. Engineers realized that the vibration from the aircraft reduced the error from sticky moving parts. Instead of moving in short jerks, they moved more continuously.
Lye is a caustic soda. Basically NaOH. I roughly know that if my hand is burning after its been stung by dangerous looking sea creatures,i should immediately dump a bottle of Lye on it. Or take a piss.
Lying is the willful generation of untruths.
