LTNS.. World Cup.. and of course.. a rant.

LTNS or otherwise shortform for Long Time No See.

Sounds lame? Actually not. I've not been blogging for a few months, primarily because of personal choice and for some reasons I will not explain. Let's see.. the elections are over.. and of course, the usual folks are the winners. How boring. Then there was the usual every day stuff. Fish and Zoids, where I'm concerned.

Oh yes, not to forget, the on-going soccer fiesta in Germany, or what we football-fans call the World Cup. I've seen all the matches so far, only missing one, because I dozed off. But this edition of the World Cup has definitely seen some surprises. Why? Because of low scorelines for the so-called "superior" teams from Europe. Wow, I'm definitely shocked. Folks in England must be wondering why on Earth did the lions from England had to win via an own goal? Isn't there any skill left in England's squad? Or should I call them over-paid and over-rated footballers? Before I get England fans throwing bricks at me, I should say yes, I think they're over-rated, but there is definitely some skill amongst them. Let's see how they do tonight against Trinidad and Tobago, a small unheralded team from the Caribbean that held mighty Sweden to a goalless draw with only 10 men on the field..

And of course, I should add this bit. Sometime back I got into a ruckus with this "ethnic Korean" from a South Pacific nation. Wow, this fella was giving me some high and mighty attitude. When I called him arrogant, guess what? He responded via a private message on a forum I frequent with another round of high and mighty attitude. "For the record, I place in the 95th percentile of my country, which coincidentally, happens to be an English-speaking country".. that was what he said that simply irked me to no end.

HELLO MORON.. so what if your country is an English-speaking country, and you place in the 95th percentile? It only makes you look smart but who gives a squat about that? I've scored A's all my life in English and never once mentioned this to him. This marks the first time I've come across such an arrogant b#st#$d. Wow.. I am surprised. For such a prick to even exist is simply mind-boggling.

He's no doubt an ethnic Korean, but I bet he forgets one thing. HUMILITY. Perhaps someone should go straight up to his face and spell it clearly to him, for surely he makes occasional spelling mistakes. For someone who thinks so highly of himself, in terms of mastery of the English language, he ought to ensure that he makes no mistakes in spelling or grammar. So much for his "95th percentile" speech.

Man.. what an asshole, and to think he says some folks regard him as a level-headed fella. Either he's damn good at bootlicking, or they're just saying it for the sake of it. Someone definitely needs to burst his bubble. Ugh.

Pardon the rant.
