Meredith: Apathy kills, Hank.
Hank: I don’t care
…but what Meredith didn’t even fathom to comprehend was the fact that apathy could be an extremely complex mood or feeling or lack of feeling or call-it-whatever-turns-you-on. Apathy is a word often whispered with a negative connotation. Ironically this negativity mostly comes from the overly-positive people; you know, the ones that jump around you at 7 in the morning, wondering why you are so grumpy, and in so doing blocking your way to the oh-so-needed cup of black gold. About an year ago I even found some people that claimed that the opposite of love is apathy – an idea that may have some weight, albeit that being the weight of an anorexic Armani model a couple of minutes before she has her weekly meal. In reality there are many forms of apathy, almost as many as the reasons for it. Some are not even the real thing as it often happens in this world.

It’s 5 in the morning, and a quick glance at my bedside table shows me that the answer to the question “Why am I suffering from a devastating insomnia lately?” isn’t too far away. No further explanations.
I do believe that this is the post where it would be most appropriate to express my utmost respect for the Facebook group called “University – Working hard 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, 2 weeks a year.” Once again Red Bull and chocolate have been the heaviest sponsors of this year’s exam period.
Men obsessed with cars make me sick. By all means I don’t mean people that take care of their vehicles and try to keep them clean and maintained. I mean people who are wholeheartedly in love with their cars, and their lives revolve around them. It’s a god damn set of wheels; it’s not really gonna make your dick any longer, and even if it could help you get laid, the women that would actually fall for that are generally the ones which you should not be aiming at unless you want to get a whole bouquet of STDs at once. Despite all that, I do recognize 3 main reasons to have a car. The first one is the practical reason which normally (but rarely) should be the dominant one. A car’s main purpose should be to get you quickly from point A to point B without using any unconventional methods like teleportation or warp speed. The second one is the one mentioned, which I would call showing off. The car is often known as the extension of the penis. Thus the bigger the car, the smaller the actual package, so all of you buying the BMW X6, your dirty little secret has been exposed. There is still hope for you, though. Just move to Japan and suddenly you’ll be the most gifted person in the neighborhood. The third reason is somewhat neglected these days, and I would like to remind the world that driving a car can also be a pleasurable experience. I would definitely consider this reason different than the showing off one, although many people merge those two. Yes, many people take pleasure in others looking at their vehicle, but that is fundamentally different from actually enjoying the driving itself.
