V for Very Sleepy Indeed

Hm..this afternoon i saw V for Vendetta..the movie is really good..the theme makes u think..here are some of the quotes from the movie.
This speech is from V( he is the guy throwing knifes around in case u haven realised) after he bombed the Old Bailey on November the 5th. He infiltrated into the television network to air his pre-taped video.

Good evening, London. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security, the familiar, the tranquility, repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the annunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance, and depression. And where once you had the freedom to object, think, and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I sought to end that silence. Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot.

btw, November 5th was the day a guy named Guy Fawkes conspired to blow down the Parliament building in 1600 i think..ancient history..

and this is a quote from the movie..the opening scene when he rescued the main female character( Evey Hammond) in the movie..

V:I can assure you I mean you no harm.

Evey Hammond: Who are you?

V: Who? Who is but the form following the function of what and what I am is a man in a mask.

Evey Hammond: Well I can see that.

Evey Hammond: Of course you can. I'm not questioning your powers of observation I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is.

Evey Hammond: Who? Who are you?

V: But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona.

V: VoilĂ ! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

[carves V into wall]

V: The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

[giggles]

V: Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

Evey Hammond: Are you like a crazy person?

V: I'm quite sure they will say so.

The part where he used all the words starting wif letter V to describe himself is really so Matrix like lar..
wow

if i were to try doing that..constructing a sentence wif lots of words starting wif v..
it would have gone like this..

I am very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very weary( v and w almost same sound right??) and veraciously wish to sleep. Although there wasn't a vestige of veracity in my above verdict, i still vehemently wish to vex you with Vs..haha


sounds damn stupid...
and i'm sure the grammar's all wrong..

haha
but there u go
next time gonna construct a sentence wif words wif letters starting wif X..
lol

i foresee i will go like
i watch XXX and paly Xylophone wif Xander Xavier on XX, XX, XXXX
lol

RANDOM THOUGHTS...

What if..u realised u have no talent in the things u like to pursue
and realised u are somewhat talented in the things that u dun really like

What if...u expected to get something but din get it..and the whole world crumbles together with that something..

What if...there are no what ifs in life and everyone's destiny is already predestined..

What if...there is really a higher being and it is all-powerfull but is not as good hearted as we thought

What if...there is a board that oversees the "injection" of talent into a person be4 they are born...and they are somewhat bias..just like human beings are somewhat bias in creating a drawing with the different use of colour etc etc..

What if...You found out u are just machines that has the ablility to think and to function...that maybe u are the remnants of a higher being that is bored with playing with you??

What if...humans can control nature...do u still call nature nature? or do u call nature as human's pet..

What if...the laws of physics doesn't hold through anymore and the world stops spinning?? would you still wonder what if??

the ability to ask what if..means u are leading such a good life to have free time to ask what if..
so what if u are so busy to find time to ask what if? izzit better that way? or izzit better to ask yourself the meaning of ur screwed up life..
it doesn't matter really
coz in the end u'll grow old and perish..
and the world will continue to turn without u..even though u succeeded in something phenomenal..ppl may remember u..but u won't be able to know if u are being remembered..
which brings us to the question..

what if..
u gain immortality and never dies...
how would u live ur life??
