The Oracle: The Disclaimer

No. I am not about to expound on the Oracle system that has thrown my fellow colleagues and I into labyrinth.

This is to formally pronounce that I am a mere social being with an odd love-hate attitude towards having to co-exist with other fellow beings. Co-existence has sometimes led to familiarity – a sense of connection – and security. Because of this, I have inevitably allowed some beings to cause storms in my emotions. Nonetheless, they are also the ones capable of seeing me soar to seventh heaven. Either way, co-existing has added all colors of my life.

Therefore, in my blogs, one will often find mention of one character or the other - even some familiar events. Definitely will have one lah. Writing about myself will be too boring. I mean, how interesting can it be if everything is all about I, me, and myself? I, me, and myself will only have some value because I am co-existing with other beings and the interactions rub experiences that I can write about.

If you do not mind reading about other people or events involving other people here, please do not be offended by mention of anything that may seem familiar to you. Nonetheless, I will try my best to keep all identities under wraps unless you grant me the permission to help you do some publicity. Please be assured though that there are no missiles or sharp metal objects hidden under those wraps. The writings are not, and will not be used as weapons of any form to hurt anyone. They are merely to be used as innocent anecdotes.

Yes. I am writing to you who think that I have fired shots in any way in any of my blogs. If you ain’t enemy, you are a valued friend, and there is no intention whatsoever to cause grieve to friends in any way. And if you are an enemy, why are you so kay-poh? Nothing here is meant for your reading pleasure....

Yes. Back to my point. To be accused of hurt, actual mense rea had to be proven. So, please prove that first before being convinced that I am malicious in any way. Anyway, how can a nice person like you have gotten into association with someone so vile? That, in itself, will disregard all mense rea propositions.

Anyway, having had kiasu-ism run in my blood, I still hope to be indemnified by adding the following disclaimer:

No human beings are meant to be hurt physically, emotionally, psychologically, financially nor spiritually in the blogs of oddball. (Have I covered all?) Dissensions between any individuals are also never intended in any articles that have been posted here or are to be posted here henceforth. Any positive resemblance may be pointed to you alright, but anything negative, or perceived to be negative (I am supposed to have swore off all things negative, remember?) is of pure coincidence and a make-up from your own imagination (not mine).
Exceptions will be made known in the article and will only apply to that particular work at that particular time.

Now, disclaimers are usually in the smallest font available. However, the oddball has decided otherwise. Well, oddball has to keep the oddball image and be, ermm... different.

Anyway, oddball has always been a little inept, and never always really in understanding of the happenings around. Nonetheless, be aware that the oddball is also not apt at using poison fangs too. Fact is, oddball is no rat.

That confirms it. There's no vermin!

Well, to be doubly sure, you may want to inject a little dose of the superlative elixir: Humour and a smile.

This is the oracle.


P/S: If you have somehow gotten lost whilst trying to comprehend the Oracle, please be assured that you are fine. I got a little lost while writing too. Or perhaps Oracles are not meant for any mere mortals to fathom…
Ermm.... actually, to say that this is an oracle was just to give the disclaimer a boost in its authority. So, relax! * wink *
