Finally got it. "Obtained" it, as you will, through means that require little to no explanation.

Finally sat down, on a Sunday evening, and watched The Cove. Yes. The one that you've heard about. Yes, the one where dolphins are slaughtered.

The challenge when watching The Cove, is not to stop the slaughtering of dolphins and saving these beautiful creatures. Dolphins show remarkable intelligence. The display the ability to learn how to use tools. They also learn how to use ornaments to decorate themselves when courting a mate. And they show the ability to differentiate between themselves and their own reflection in a mirror.

And yet, they are driven into a sheltered cove yearly in Taiji and the Faroe Island, and slaughtered mercilessly.

The challenge is not to stop all this. No. The challenge is to regard it with ruthless precision and logic.

The fact remains that the Cove is, for all its emotion and passion, for all its sadness and sorrow, for all its melodramatic music and teary-eyed journalists, is PROPAGANDA - an exaggerated report, interwoven with emotion-stirring images to lead the viewer onto a path of sympathy.

That said - it was an awesome movie. And there were moments in the movie where I felt like jumping from my chair and starting a protest to save some cetaceans.

But after it is all said and done, when the emotions have settled. We have to understand - that slaughter of dolphins does nothing to affect the population of all of them throughout the seas. They are still doing fine.

The only stirring facet of the documentary is that the mercury-laden dolphin meat is distributed to the local schoolkids as a free lunch. Wow... that's SICK.

Good luck with that.

Sunday tennis wasnt such a good idea after all. Played a huge match in the morning. Went home. Did the groceries and cleaned up. Felt good that i had the rest of the day to slack. Took a short "nap" at around 10pm. Woke up at 430am. Just bolted right up. Oh my gawd...

Totally screwed up my body clock. Oh well. I guess...

Oh, and i guess - it's TAMPINES HERE I COME.
