My Aim is True
by YBLalat

If you have been following me around for some time now, you’d probably have known that I don’t just ramble or write incessantly and in great details about my personal life and what I did today that I think would be nice to share with the voyeuristic world. I value my individuality and privacy as much as the next person and merely posting journal entries for the amusement of others is sincerely not my true aim. There is always something behind my writings, a personal message or social commentary if you will, that I want you readers to take home to and sleep over it if possible.

However, during the course of the last few busy weeks, I gradually realized, over the occurrence of several thought-provoking events, that such an essence of privacy and discretion is a great mean in conveying a strong but subtle message. In simpler words, sometimes there is no other way to tell about a certain issue than to straightforwardly confronting it point by point to your audience. Sure, shame and humiliation are high prices to pay, but who cares about the expense when you know how short youth is.

From this point onward, I will be writing several series of essays (or journal entries, if you wish) of various themes with regards to me and my personal life. I think that it would be wise to alarm you of this because these writings are meant to shock. They are of quasi-voyeuristic, pseudo-psychotic and genre-bending nature. Note however that although these writings are eerily personal, they are not true representations of me as an individual, but merely me as an imaginative author. I may twist facts and mask real names, but I would never run away from reality. Thus, from this, my aim is true.

A few of such themes which are already in mind are as follows (however, I will post the last part of the recent male-male bonding series soon, maybe in the next 12 hours or so):

(1) Thus God Created Penis (Questions on Masculinity and Male Gender Roles).
(2) The Hedonist/Secularist View.
(3) The Stench of Sin and A Hypocrite’s Smile.
(4) The Unfamiliar Ground of Male-male Bonding (The Prequel).
(5) Parallelia: The World of the Other Choice.

Please: Open up your mind and relax. Thank you for the attention and sit back.
