Blogs are dying now. Except for people who get paid to blog and people who are into blogging, which the number has significantly decreased one has to say, the blog fad has, I believe, all but past. You may ask yourself then, the people who read my blog, which numbers are also gravely diminishing- hovering somewhere between the zero and one reader per month zone-why am I blogging? Am I a hypocrite? Or am I a frequent blogger in which the word frequent translates to blogging every other month? The propriety of blogging would unofficially bind thee to at least updating one's blog for the mere sake of propriety. But then again, ethics in the blog sphere never really meant much now did it. Ergo, the only possible reason why I am blogging, rather why I have resorted to blogging, is simply because I am bored. Cliche? Very much so. But as anyone who has a blog-own would be improper simply because one does not "own" cyberspace, one merely occupies a insignificantly small proportion of cyberspace- it's my bloody blog. Then again, who really cares, seriously.

So the world is starting again. Its been on somewhat of a hiatus, for me personally of course. But lately its been cranking up its machine. Its as if the engine stalled for a while and now its back to the first gear. But I digress. The fact is, university, not such a big deal to me. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't happy to be in university but thats about it. Impartiality? I reckon sometimes I'm too impartial. But as they say thats that. Won't really have much to say until university actually starts.

On a complete tangent, I've realised, or rather my mother has pointed it out to me, that petrol prices in Melbourne-and the greater part or Australia I believe- fluctuates weekly with a particular peak on Wednesday afternoons. I find that extremely intriguing. And it does not fluctuate a mere one or two cents but in certain instances by a margin of 10 cents or more per liter. That might not seem much but anyone who knows anything about cars and pumping petrol, 10 cents can translate to a lot of moolah better spent on a meal or Krispy Kreme's or Jester pie's. I've always suspected it had something to do with the weekly distribution of petrol which oddly enough happens on Wednesdays. My question is, why Wednesdays? What happened to Mondays? Maybe the traffic's less heavy on Wednesdays, or the tolls cheaper or the prices of diesel fuel which in turn ensures the continuity of the vicious Wednesday cycle. Maybe I'll be hearing more of this in my future macroeconomy class. Interesting.

I think thats it for now really. I've gotta go pump some petrol now, before the prices start to hike up again in which case I would spend needless amounts of money on petrol which could be better off spent on golf. So until next time then.

P.S. Steph I reckon you're pretty spot on about Ron Paul. He's a pretty decent candidate but as to whether the Americans would trust a Republican remains to be seen. I still say the real difference in opinions really are between the Republicans and Democrats that the little nuances within the party aren't really worth mentioning and it really boils down to who the American public would prefer more-in the case of the Democrats an African American or a lady.
