syn.tax. error

i honestly wish that i could write better. i look around me and i see so many people churning out delectable prose that one can do nothing but savour; one tantalising morsel at a time. in stark contrast, here i am belabouring over my staggered chunks, helplessly trying to string my words together for the sake of coherence.

what would really really really make my day, is if i could write a piece that can truly capture the essence of sorrow. that one piece, that would move people to tears as they gobble up each word as though it was the last and then clamour for more, and at the end of it, be completely stunned at how the last few minutes of their lives have been irrevocably shaken by an article or a story that was essentially mind- blowing.

anyway the econs ten year series book is a sham. some of the answers are horribly wrong! but that's not the worst bit. i mean, if it was just wrong, that's fine. no harm done. but thing is, they tend to repeat the questions and each and every time the answers would contradict! how confusing is that! i have half a mind to throw that book into my washing machine and laugh that evil laughter of mine as i watch it toss and tumble (this shows i've been home too long. hell my worst torture method involves a household appliance).

well what can i say; i'm your typical heartlander who thrives in the bowels of suburbia.
