frozen time on a piece of 4' x 3'

i'm sure we all know abt the obscene[artistic] photos of various hk celebrities? it sure is piece of hot juicy gossip tt any self respecting tabloid would want as an exclusive. it just awakes the hidden voyeur in all of us, me included, i must admit.

this piece of juice got me thinking tho. is this filming of oneself a new fad? or something that went under the radar for so long tt its able to grab attention once it surfaces?

i doubt its a new fad. definitely.

then wat's its inherent attention grabbing quality then?

i deduce information overload. overwhelming amount of information. copious amount of information tt swamp us on a daily basis.

dun agree?

the internet generation has gotten ppl to wanna share information with anyone. evidence can be seen from youtube or stomp where the masses generate the content. y film sex acts then? isnt it private, or supposedly private?

haaaaaaaa.. in fact not. these are celebs, ppl who spend their lives in the limelights. ppl whose lifes play out to a global audience who lap up any morsel of private, intimate details tt cld be unearthed by the press. in the process, causing them great grief, no doubt.

taking this as primary premise, wld having something tt the public doesnt have gives them a feeling of empowerment? its basic one-up-manship. the thrill of kiping such a powerful piece of 'thing' wld be too hard to resist...i think.

anyways, i leave u to make up yer conclusions..and of cos u are entitled to think tt i am sherlock holmes incarnated or just another self important quack tt the internet has a habit of throwing up.

if i were u, the latter option wld be very tempting.hahaha

happy holidays everyone.

random words and regimented thoughts

words have been used by humans to convey feelings,ideas for centuries. from the earliest caveman wordings scrawled on limestone walls to the latest emails and sms.

we, as a species, have always showed an urge to want to communicate/to share with another human being. anyone. anyone, who cares to listen. with modern technology, geographical distance has ceased to be a factor in finding a receptive audience.

and if i dare to add, the black n white have done a pretty gd job down the yrs in doing what it was invented for. communication.

YET sometimes, words fail me. either they sounds so wrong, or better still, a suitable word escapes me. zero. glitch. blank. this might be due to the incredibility of the situation/person/thing in point or myself is still coming to terms with the situation.person.thing in point.

And when words fail either way,
And when words are all i have to take your heart away.
It can be such a tragedy played out in silence.
Delirium in silence makes it all the harder to bear.
