Spirit This, Spirit That

Just my take on the whole EDSA thing.

I know this is a bit late, but internet's been spotty at work. So now's my chance to rant.

I've been seeing some morning shows featuring college students speaking about the meaning of EDSA and many other related issues. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't EDSA occur during 1986? And if my math is correct, I was six years old then. If current college students are around, say, 20, then they wouldn't have been born yet during EDSA.

So why the hell are they so damned passionate about something that happened when they weren't even born yet (or weren't aware yet). I mean, c'mon. I don't even remember EDSA. I was too young to remember much of what happened, much less remember its importance. So who gave the college kids the right to speak about something they didn't experience first hand, just because they studied in some exclusive school?

Oh sure, they're concerned. They want change. They're idealists. But let's just be damn realistic, shall we? They weren't around during EDSA '86 so don't go around spouting off rants like they were experts about the spirit of EDSA. Because they weren't there.

Enough.l Out.

Update

Internet's been down since my last blog at work. No 'net at home since I don't have a monitor for my PC.

Lotsa work coming my way, can't wait for them to end. Big sigh of relief when that happens.

Adding Color

This is my colored caricature. I used Adobe Photoshop to color it. No pen tablet. Just plain old mouse. But I drew it on paper and had it scanned. Not a bad job, if I may say so.

Guess Who?

I was at work today and I suddenly had the urge to draw. This is what happens when I get the urge to draw.

Randomness

* RIP Ernie Baron. Died of a heart attack caused by complications of diabetes.

* Kobe scores 81pts against Toronto. AND he hands out 2 assists. Better than his 62pt no assist performance against Dallas.

* Got me another Ford GT40 from Hotwheels. The only question I have about it is the scale. I have a Dub City 1:64 Ford GT and two Hotwheels Ford GT40's. Now I know the new Ford GT is supposed to be bigger but is it really THAT big compared to the old one? Or are the scales of Dub City and Hotwheels different?

* My trusty iPod is out of commission. Sent to Singapore for repairs, good thing warranty was still in effect. I just don't get it why it got damaged. All I did was upload a new software into it, and I followed all the steps properly. Sheesh.

* Still don't have my cash. Bank is still messed up so I'm pretty much "running on fumes" if I could use that term financially.

* My imagination is coming back. I've got this character design I'm doodling with and if I have the time I can upload a sketch of it. Now all I have to do is think of stories. And maybe learn 2D animation because as I see it my character looks better in 2D than in 3D although a 3D version MAY still show up.

* Still waiting for the PS3 but from the video reviews I've downloaded at Gametrailers the XBox 360 is making its presence felt. At least for me, since I decided long ago (never to walk in anyone's shadow) that I was buying a PS3. Or at least saving up for it.

* Went to this car show at Tiendesitas in Pasig. Saw a couple of classic Celica's. 70's Celicas. Man if I had lots of cash and an old Celica... But an old VW Beetle is still my number one car for "Ganification".
