L’arriviste Excentrique

Ode to Theodore For: no one in particular

In small text was the author's name: Jhumpa Lahiri, and in smaller, the title: Interpreter of Maladies. Containing nine stories, all of them related to India-- be it in a modern setting like Sexy or directly related to past historical events like When Mr. Pirzada Came to Dine.

Here is an English entry that actually isn't junk! One review of betang.COM, coming up right here. Betang.COM is, as the tagline in the header states, "Some kind One of Central Borneo's online portal". Actually, it can be interpreted as both, but the tagline itself is that (instead of "Central Borneo's online portal" plain out) as to not claim itself as the only portal of it's kind. Okay, enough of my incessant rambling. What is betang.COM all about?

I'm beginning to notice a certain pattern in my entries. The ones in English tend to be more junkish and trivial compared to the ones in Indonesian, but they have such a frivolous writing style. Well, putting that aside, here is another junk entry, just for laughs. You see, I receive many spam messages everyday in my email, and for some reason most of them are for Viagra and other such 'medications'. Some of them have such witty, and poetic email subjects!

Why won't you let me be?

Dear Sister...

Question! What is your opinion on executing death sentences in Indonesia? Affirmative or negative, to which extent, and why? Something like: "I agree if blah blah, because this and that" or "I disagree because blah blah", because I'm sure anyone who 'agrees' wouldn't agree fully seperti contoh seseorang 'maling ayam dibakar sampai mati =)) Tanya! Apa pendapat anda mengenai pelaksanaan hukuman mati di Indonesia? Pro atau kontra, hingga taraf apa, dan mengapa? *mengumpulkan bahan diskusi*

To quote myself from 20 June, 2007: I know I keep running away. That's my problem, but it's hard to fix when you haven't got the will to I wonder when I can stop running away?
