Return of the Mordo

The truth is never as important as the way it is perceived.

Farewell We The Robots.

June 4, 2009

June 2, 2009 will forever remain in infsamy because of the passing of House Resolution 1109. Our congressmen, our so called representatives, seem determined to bend democracy over and screw it in the ass. I am no longer surprised, but it still angers me. It angers me and makes me sad. If you’re a Filipino like me, who still gives a flying fuck about this country, then please do your part. Head over here, take your stand and be heard. That’s all I wish to say about it for now.

That day was made even sadder for me as one of my favorite webcomics, We The Robots, posted its last strip that fateful Tuesday. I’d like to share it with you here:

If you haven’t followed the series as closely as I did, it may not seem like much. But I for one love it. It seems to me a perfect way to end, and that is to sort of not, so wonderfully bittersweet.

If you’ve never read We The Robots before then you my friend are missing out. Its insight on the human condition is unexpectedly accurate and at the same time surprisingly poignant. Before I end I’d like to share the first strip I read; the one that got me hooked:

Thank you Mr. Chris Harding. Your vision of a technological dystopia will be sorely missed.

About Me

Hi. I'm Peter "The Mordo" Juan, and I have a natural affinity for water. Needless to say, I love the ocean and I'm crazy about the beach! Just give me sand, surf and beautiful weather and I'm happy as a clam.

I'm a frustrated writer, an amateur photographer, a wannabe surfer and washed up fencer. I'm a hard worker, a good friend, a loving husband and a business mogul in training (mwehehehe).

I believe that normalcy is boring but I accept that it is a necessary evil. I believe that friendship is stronger than distance, that fact is stranger than fiction and that imagination is more powerful than knowledge. I believe that happiness is, more than anything else, a choice. And as cheesy as it may sound, I still believe that love conquers all.
