S.C.U.M

Delaqroux Inc Updates!
Now all is right with the world at the moment and when all is too right, some people get bored. So, when people A asked people B, "boredomness sucks. let's start an art magazine" and people B replies, "fuck yeah! let's start an art magazine", people A and B collaborated and started an art magazine because people A got bored and people B said "fuck yeah". Now all is still right with the world, mind you. But from that moment on, the world had SCUM. That's right, representing planet Earth for the first time ever, we, the world, has SCUM of the earth.. and it's free.

So, yeah, SCUM is (probably -we like to play it modest) the first ever free-voiced, independent art and media online publication in Malaysia and we totally came up with that ourselves (both SCUM and the "free-voiced, independent art and media online publication in Malaysia" tagline thingy). So, because we came up with that ourselves, we decided that we're not gonna be like other magazines out there which was came up by other people. And this is good. For one, we want to keep it free. Other magazines will have price tags. Ours just come up with tags without prices. That, or no tags at all. Second, magazines out there kill trees and that is not good for the elephants and primates. So, our magazine will be purely online published. In other words, no trees cut down to make overrated paper and we also save the world's resources of metal because we are not using staplers for our magazine.

Third, and most importantly, because we're not making any sell-out profits from this publication at all, we do not have any paid professional publication body. And that is good too. Why? Well, that means that YOU are our publication body! SCUM will be largely based on readers' contributions of creative works and masterpieces. In other words, we get contributions from readers be it photographs, artworks, literature works (poems, short stories and shoutouts) and anything as long as it have a good vibe (meaning, nothing provoking hatred or whatever that is bad). We wont pay you for your work but we can promote your awesome. With your awesome in our publication, our SCUM will be as awesome.

Finally, our publication is approved by a man by the name Johnny O'Leary, or Larry for short. We're not too sure who he is but he did approved us. So we high-five-d and thought that he is nice and worth a mention.

Anyways, if you like the idea of what we're doing and thought this write-up is very likable, visit us on our facebook group page (http://www.facebook.com/SCUM.malaysia) and click the like button because that really represents how much you like us. Also, the facebook group page will be where we published our issues of magazines (you might need a flash player thingy in your computer but we positively think you might already have it). Additionally, contact us at scum.ipba@gmail.com (also serve as our dropbox if you feel like contributing anything to our issues). We look forward to hear from you and thanks for reading this Johnny O'Leary-approved message.

Wide awake at 2.48 (am)

Delaqroux Inc Updates.
I is so wide awakes even though I is definitely shouldnt be.

Yeah, i will be having an exam paper tomorrow at 8.30 am and here i am, at 2.48, wide awake. The original idea was to finish my revision early so i can sleep early and wake up on time tomorrow. But i guess there is just something innate in me that still refuse to accept that concept. So here i am, wide awake with nothing to do and thus a rant on my blog, for some reason, seems to be quite a joyous, exciting activity to do.

But seriously, my mind is at a state of a perfect blank-ness that i dont have the slightest idea on what to rant. It's weird, really, considering that i can always find myself writing non-stop without realizing. Maybe it's the fact that my nose is still runny (cold. fuck) and i find that way too distracting to write a proper rant decently. Also, probably of the fact that i am hungry. Dinner was at 8pm, almost 6 hours past. I can never go back to sleep if i am in state of hunger. I hate being me.

Nevettheless, I shall go get something to eat. This is a pointless blogpost. Thank you for reading.
Oh and did i mention that this blogpost was made, once again, using my phone? Blogging with a small screen is not exactly practical. QWERTY keyboard helps to some extent but the limitation is still there. It's just not fast enough as a computer's keyboard..
Anyways, this is still a pointless blogpost.
Stop reading.
