Wanna relocate?

So just got this random message on Gayromeo, from a guy from the Philippines. He says 'Interesting profile, who's planning to move to Boracay? '

How staggeringly direct and brutishly upfront about being a spam message. I like him already.

"I don't care, I just want the world to know Kony"

With the Kony hype all the way through the ceiling, an alumni of a famous school in Hong Kong is starting a campaign called 'I am Joseph Kony'. They changed their fb names into Joseph Kony and changed their profile picture as Joseph Kony, so as to raise awareness. When the host of this campaign quoted the below link from the Guardian, which actually interviewed Ugandans and expressed their concerns of the high profile campaign of IC, he commented 'I just want the world to know Kony, who cares' .

I am largely put off by this 'champion' and I sincerely doubt how he could suddenly claim to be a great herald of the movement while explicitly ignoring information on this issue. Anyways, above is the mentioned Guardian article. it has pretty extensive information on both the pro and con side of said campaign. 

My stance is to donate to a charity that is proven to be legit and doing something helpful in Uganda. There are more ways to help people in need, don't hop on the Pro or Con train just yet.

And back to the school campaign thing. Dude, helping people is not just a feel good thing u do to prove yourself  ighteous. If you really want to help people, first thing first, learn to pull away from your adrenaline driven emotions and do some research. Or at least don't be so blatantly retarded and tell people you refuse to know more about the issue.

New Computer

My favorite bit from last night's bar chatter:

Guy: I am gonna buy a new computer.
Me: Why, is it broken or...?
Guy: I was watching porn when my mother came into the room, I tried to alt-tab away but the screen froze.

Literary Gibberish

Doing my writing stylistics assignment and I have to identify the rhetorical devices found in the materials. When I started working on it I immediately felt drowned in an ocean of pretense.

Exempli gratis, the words Anaphora, Anadiplosis and Onomatopoeia each accordingly means: repeating the first word of each sentence, starting the second sentence with the last word of the first, and words that reads like the sound it meant. You damn pompous literary asses have nothing better to do than making 5 dollar words?

Besides boasting of one's class superiority or identity as an academic I fail to see the reason of using these words when you can just say: repeat the first word.
