Global financial crisis? World economic downturn? Pfft!

I believe the biggest problem we face in the future, will be the overpopulation of our planet. With the myriad of problems facing us already (e.g. finite resources, environment destruction, global health concerns), overpopulation will do nothing but make these problems worse. Desperate people do desperate things, like turning to crime in order to put food on the table. But imagine that on a global scale, and instead of individual people, you have entire nations fighting 'wars of necessity'. Perhaps in the not too distant future, we might see some mushroom clouds on the horizon. So for me, it's nuclear weapons as the most likely way to end mankind.

I apologise for the size of this entry, I still don't really know how to LJ cut properly

when c. ronaldo scored a header in the 26th minute, i haven't felt such joy in a long time, realising my team and i were one goal closer to winning. i thought we had at least three more good chances to score, but couldn't convert them. to cut a long story short, in the 45th minute chelsea equalised through a lampard goal. the score stayed remained the same, right up until the end of normal time. therefore i lost my bet, regardless the outcome. because i was basically blinded by pure, white hot rage, i didn't really bother watching extra time, although i witnessed the final five minutes or so and saw droga (the fucking hack!) get sent off for slapping vidic. 1 - 1 after extra time
so after 120 minutes of jubilation/despair/frustration/rage, it all came down to a penalthy shootout. i think c. ronaldo took manchester united's third penalty, and had it saved by cech. terry (chelsea's captain) had a chance to win it if he scored his penalty, but unfortunately for him and chelsea, he blasted it wide to the right. it came to sudden death, and anelka needed to score his penalty to keep chelsea's hopes of winning alive. van der sar saved it, and man utd won the 2008 uefa champions league, 6 - 5 on penalties. end of story
sigh, although i'm glad my team ended up being the victors, i'm still not even close to being happy. why the fuck can't things for once, go according to plan? at least i got my new bottle of mint choc baileys to help me forget about everything...

as much as i want to finish some sort of list, i have come to the conclusion that nothing will ever get completed. it will simply get dragged out even further, because i keep on thinking of new stuff to add on top of old stuff that i already want to mention. don't give up until the fat lady sings (it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings, is the actual proverb according to wikipedia), is something i enjoy saying and try to stick to. right now, i have a feeling the fat lady isn't singing anymore, she has got a cd and put herself on repeat.
you are right millie, i put way too much thought into a lj entry

Just going to do a quick entry about my results for this semester...
Australia in Asia - 78 D
Chinese 2B - 77 D
Statistics for Business and Marketing - 66 C
Management and Organisation Behaviour - 86 HD
Because of work, I was actually quite grumpy for most of the day. After getting home, I went online and saw that a friend had something regarding results, in their MSN nickname. I had no idea that results came out today, so I thought I would check, just for the sake of it. I'm in a particularly good mood now, considering the fact that I really was expecting to fail Stats.

ecstatic
Just a few things I want to say about the events of the past week...
- Finished Star Wars: Empire at War today. I purchased the Gold Pack edition, which included the Forces of Corruption expansion pack, only last week.
- I found it mostly enjoyable but at times, it got frustrating and repetitive. My major gripe was that the two playable factions (Empire and Rebellion) were uneven. I thought the various space and land units of the Empire tended to be expensive, ineffective and not particularly versatile. Although the thrill of using massive Imperial Star Destroyers or AT-AT walkers in large numbers, was very awe-inspiring. On the other hand, I found that the Rebels were the exact opposite of the Empire. Their units were very cheap, extremely effective and versatile as well. Overall, I thought they were more fun to play as than the Empire.
- At the moment, I'm contemplating whether or not to install the expansion pack but it is unlikely, because I've read reviews saying it is glitchy. What I really want is Vietcong, or at the very least a decent first-person shooter.
- I finished my final exam last Wednesday
- Finally got a chance to go to Ajisen Ramen and have decent Jap food! Hope you enjoyed your food, Millie
- I'm very proud of the fact that I managed to go Comics R Us and then Minotaur, without buying a single thing.
- Had to vote on Saturday, I put in an invalid vote for the House of Reps and voted for What Women Want party for the Senate, because I found them amusing. In all honesty, I didn't really care about this election much, because I knew Howard and the Coalition were going to lose, and it was really just a question of how much they would lose by. In my opinion, both sides in Aussie politics are of the 'same shit but different smell'. I also live in a very safe Labor electorate, so regardless of which side I voted for, it would have been pointless.
- Went to the library in Broadmeadows afterwards. I had to pay a $6 fine on my card, which my brother had incurred, and borrowed only a novel (Star Wars Republic Commando: Hard Contact)
- Walked around the shopping centre for just over an hour.
- I think I have now become a fan of Gloria Jean's, especially of their hot/iced white chocolate drinks!
- Went to indoor soccer on Sunday night. Enough said...
- Work on Monday was nice and relaxing, because it was pretty quiet the whole day.
- We finally had ducted air conditioning installed in our house, so hopefully there will be no more suffering through summer, unless of course my mum refuses to turn it on because she thinks it is a waste. Why the fuck do you spend $3000 installing air con but not turn it on when it is hot??? Stupid *beep*
- Sydney FC 5 - 3 LA Galaxy!!! David Beckham's goal from one of his freekicks, was simply amazing!
- Mood: blah
Just some random comments...
- According to LJ, I haven't updated for three weeks. Checked the date on my most recent entry and it is actually closer to a month, since I last updated my LJ
- A simple reason for me not updating can be put down to a severe case of laziness
- I think I passed both my Chinese written and oral exams on 31/10/07
- My friend, Alex, and I walked to Highpoint afterwards. I finally got the chance to see him play Ghost Squad and compare myself against him. I did vow never to play Ghost Squad again, after I lost my data card, but I made an exception this time
- I comprehensively beat him, which was expected by the both of us. Alex said to me 'you either know everywhere you need to shoot or you are just really trigger happy'
- I had both my Management and Stats exams last Wednesday. I did no study until virtually the day before, due to a lack of motivation. I think I did better than I expected in Management but it is highly likely I failed Stats
- Last Friday was the busiest day ever at work, making exactly $3135.50!
- I will be working Monday to Friday for the next two weeks, which should earn me at least $1000
- I have been on a relatively successful lockdown since finding out how much money I have earned last financial year on my tax return, and then comparing it to my tally of how much money I have spent since the start of the year
- Facebook is...*put adjective here*
- Been playing C & C: Generals and the Zero Hour expansion pack again, but this time I'm playing on the hardest difficulty setting. I have already finished Generals and have only the China campaign left in Zero Hour
- Mood: tired
