I had a dream yesterday

I had a really weird dream yesterday. It's been a while since I had a long, vivid dream like this. I can't quite remember what it was exactly, but in short my backyard was a graveyard, not the nice graveyards with tombstones either, just a muddled pile with bodies in it and a few containers with cremated remains. I'm not going to describe it. It was weird. And then there was a beautiful golden butterfly. It was dieing. I brought it out into the backyard so it could fly away, but its wings broke off and fell down. Then the butterfly died. And out of the body came a bunch of ants.

Note to self - October 2008

Wow it's been a really long while since I posted anything. I need to do a complete overhaul of the site. The colors are starting to look to ugh to me. meh...just too lazy.

Anyway, this is just a note I'm leaving here for the future me to read. Move along, nothing interesting here.

What blog is complete without an RSS feed?

So, I signed up for feedburner and there's an RSS for whoever is reading this, or whoever will eventually read this later on, to subscribe to.

Finally! I'm myself again

Not too sure what happened, but I don't feel so downtrodden anymore. Maybe it's because I finally started getting some good sleep these last few days. In any case, time to start working again.

I should find something useful and interesting to blog about...

I need some INSPIRATION

Been feeling pretty weird in the afternoons lately. I start off the days normally, but by the middle of the day it's like all my energy's used up. And it's like my soul's sucked out of my body. Don't feel like doing anything at all. And then I fall asleep...

The Game Development Business

Okay, I think the string of useful posts ends here. Now it's time to ramble on about my boring life.

Lately I've been reading up on game development stuff and the business. Richard and I have been planning to start on it for a while. Now the actual work is going to start. This is going to take a whole lot of time and energy.

Does God Exist?

Big question. Hard complications. Heavy and deep thoughts. Loud yelling. Bloody arguments.

I can't quite say that I am a religious person. I was born in Vietnam, which would make my childhood religion some form of Buddhism. I never quite understood how it worked though. Even today, I still don't. So at this point, I think it's safe to say that I consider myself an agnostic. Agnosticism, the cowardly brother to atheism. I know this sounds really stupid...but meh, I gots nuthin' better to do.

Kia Kroas's Core Values

A not-yet-completed list of values and morals that I will try to abide by for the rest of my life. No excuses for removing them. (Well, maybe a good reason will be accepted...maybe).

100 Things to Do Before I Die

A short time ago, I spent a week embarking in a quest of soul-searching and self-reflection. And what self-assessment journey would be complete without a list of 100 things to do before you die? In no order whatsoever here it is.

In a world of mediocrity, who needs smart people?

I've thought a lot about my choice not to go on to higher education. I love learning and always will. That's for sure. There's always something so exciting about learning something new, or finding a way to use something old in a new way, or finding a way to use something new in an old way. What I dislike is the established system of education. It's a mass-producing assembly line made to churn out millions of people. Education wasn't made to be mass-produced; education is supposed to be hand-made (or home-made). Only a few centuries ago, people learned skills directly through apprentice-master relationships. I'm not saying that bringing education to the masses isn't a good thing. I'm saying we need a better system that has the advantages of knowledgeable educators and direct educator-student interaction.
