The Doomsday Clock is a symbolic clockface maintained since 1947 by the Board of Directors of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists at the University of Chicago. It uses the analogy of the human race being at a time that is a ‘few minutes to midnight’ where midnight represents destruction by nuclear war. The clock has appeared on the cover of each issue of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists since its introduction.

It’s nice to know someone’s keeping tabs and anticipating the end of mankind through nuclear war, huh? And it’s pretty comforting that on Januray 17, 2007, the clock will be advanced to be closer to midnight. Whooptifreakin’doo.

Makes you wonder, what if those atomic pricks play a prank on us? You know, just for fun, they’ll move the clock to a minute to midnight to freak out everyone. It’ll be fun to see people act like the Apocalypse will be a week from Tuesday. Last ditch effort for virgins to get laid. Kill people you’ve always wanted to kill. Plastic Surgery in San Diego would be for naught for the 619 fuglies, eh?

You know what would be more fun than the Doomsday Clock? A Personal Doomsday Clock.

I hate dogs. I hate how they smell, how they bark, and how they leave their crap all over the carpet. I have such disdain for dogs that I can say with full conviction that they suck.

You’re damn right, you do. Bitch. Though I don’t mind if your owner does. Huzzah!

We were all taught that the first group of superheroes to emerge from the Marvel Universe was the Fantastic Four. We were taught wrong. Before the Avengers, the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, there was a group of superheroes from the 1950’s who secretly banded together to answer their nation’s call for assistance in relation to the kidnapping of the then US president Eisenhower. A gorilla, an alien, a secret agent, a mermaid, a robot, and a goddess. The Agents of Atlas.

I picked up the first issue of this mini-series, written by Jeff Parker and drawn by Leonard Kirk, out of curiosity. I seldom venture into picking up books featuring characters I’m not familiar with. These characters are from the 1950’s Marvel comics. I was definitely not familiar with them before the news of this mini-series’ launch hit. I was so freakin’ glad I felt experimental that day. The mini-series is magic.

Last night, I moved out of our apartment in the Ortigas extension. I will, again, drive to and from work every freakin’ day. And so you can put it into context, I’m from Sta. Rosa, Laguna. I’m from the dirrty South, ‘yo. What’s so dirrty about the South, anyway? And what’s with the typo?

Moving out wasn’t as smooth as I hoped it would be. First, I haven’t had a good night’s sleep the whole week, thanks to the whole Convergys fiasco. I was so fuckin’ sleepy since around lunch time yesterday, so packing up my stuff was such a hassle. And speaking of hassles, my rommate’s ladyfriend accidentally locked our room so I wasn’t able to get my stuff in there initially. Good thing I’m a master at picking locks. Well, not actually picking locks, I’m just very good at opening locked doors. Just give me a sturdy calling card or a cellphone load card, and I’m your regular break-in king. King! And if the cards don’t work, my trusty “Baddie Superkick” will do the job, followed by me screaming “freeze!” and pretending my hand is a gun. Try it sometime.

It wasn’t all that bad, though. I managed to get my ex to help me out in packing and moving my stuff. She’s an angel. A hot angel. Ex, remind me why we’re not a couple again?

Whether you blog in Friendster, or you’re maintaining a self-hosted blog with thousands of readers per day, you’re a part of the Pinoy blogosphere. And if you’re a blogger, professional or otherwise, you need readers. And the best readers out there, in my opinion, are bloggers themselves. How to get connected to fellow Pinoy bloggers? Funny you should ask.

PinoyBlogosphere.net is a blog aggregator of Pinoy blogs. It features the latest posts from contributor blogs, fresh and hot. It gives exposure to your blog, and if you’re just a casual reader, it gives you a peek into what Pinoy bloggers are blogging about currently.

PinoyBlogosphere.com is a group blog of Pinoy bloggers who want to show off their blogging skills. Okay, make that “skillz” for you cool and hip folk. Unlike the aggregator site, you can post entries here that may not be found on your blog. If you’re a newbie blogger, I suggest you sign up and post a few entires so you can get a hold of what this blogging crap is all about before you go to WordPress.com and create thisblogroxxorslol.wordpress.com.

PinoyBlogosphere.org is a forum board about blog development, blog marketing, and blogging in general. It’s still very new so you won’t find much discussion in it. And that’s why I’m talking about it right now, instead of talking about a New York facelift. Ka-ching!
