The Poorest Place In America
While reading up on headdresses and war bonnets I came across a number of images featuring Native American Tipis. I also also became a little more educated on how they went from the rightful owners of a country to some of its poorest residents. It’s disturbing that a country that prides itself on being the [...]
Manners & Carpenters.
Carpenters. Last year my mother introduced me to a carpenter. He builds sofas. He makes them strong. He makes them sturdy. He makes them to order and he prices them much better than any store in KL INCLUDING Ikea. If you are looking for a sofa and want a good deal i’ll give you his [...]
On Being Jaded.
Some months ago, someone i know made a comment. As they watched my cheeks turn red, they said somewhat incredulously… “Oh my god, you are BLUSHING!… i didn’t know people still blushed like that!” As you would expect, the look of disbelief on their face, in addition to their somewhat full-mouthed remark made me blush [...]
Blogging Again, At Last.
It’s over. My recent bout of bloggers block is, officially, authoritatively and by way of this small post, ceremoniously, OVER! My mind is finally returning to its former warm effusive state, thoughts worth sharing are at long last returning to roost and my finger tips are decisively striking away at keys as they channel forth [...]
Carry On Smoking
In another link to this ‘smokin’ chain of events, a friend known uncommonly as “Adi Aniren” posted this link to a story about how children are being used by cigarette manufacturers on her facebook wall. “Tobacco giant Philip Morris has been forced to admit that child workers as young as 10 have been subjected to [...]
The Eternal Optimist.
It’s funny that the one thing that people lay on me almost like an accusation is that I am an optimist. As if it’s a crime and a less than savory thing to be up beat about stuff. A few weeks ago, a friend, after i’d spilled forth my thoughts on something, turned to me [...]
Tough Guys Are Good To Their Pussy
Tough guys like Ken Wahl are good to their pussy cats. Having spent a large part of his post hollywood hunk life rescuing strays with his wife Shane Barbi, Wahl is now offering the golden globe that he won for his role in “Wiseguy” to anyone who can provide information that will lead to the [...]
No Guts, No Glory You Schmuck.
So recently, a few things have happened around me. Things that clearly exhibit that what people say, is not necessarily an accurate reflection of the truth. That sucks. Hearing one thing, and knowing that what you are hearing is just a kind of convenient manufactured smokescreen is just… a little pathetic. What’s wrong with the [...]
Manorexia, Maifs and Endangered Beefcake.
Every so often I take a good long hard assessing look at what is considered “HOT” where men/males are concerned. I’m talking about the mainstream sex symbol… The general flow of the world’s conscious collected and distilled into a smoldering pile of testosterone – actually it used to be testosterone, but these days it’s more [...]
Stupidity & The same old situation.
Stupidity can come to you in many different ways. There is fleeting stupidity. The kind where you learn after one or two stupids NOT to do something. Or you might learn HOW to do it correctly. But fleeting stupidity is something that is transient. You probably only need to be electrocuted by a set of [...]
Lebanon Defeats Israel
IF ONLY international conflicts could be settled with food fights. If you think about it, it makes sense…. Most conflicts begin over resources. Food is a resource. Why not settle disputes with food themed battles. Got a border dispute over corn? Settle it with a corn off! Nation that builds the biggest bowl of pop-corn [...]
Lady Ga Ga – Genius is Ironical.
I was hoping to never have any reason to think about Lady Ga Ga. I don’t watch MTV, or any of the other mind numbing music review channels. I don’t listen to the radio. I rarely venture forth into places where Lady Ga Ga would be a choice of music… so for the last year [...]
Extreme Make Over
Some people need fashion more than fashion needs them (if you know what i mean)… I know at least TWO people who fit this description… I wish i could say more but I think i should not. I might be tempted to give you a dramatically incorrect portrayal of these sensitive, highly strung, over bearing [...]
Bad Mojo Number 3
So this is the 3rd time that a seriously bad mojo moment has occurred between me and HR. I don’t understand how anyone can be so riddled with issues, and be aware of them (apparently), but totally oblivious to the at the same time. Why, at some ridiculous hour of the morning am i embroiled [...]
Noah
The BFF, Corinne Adri, was pregnant for a large part of 2009. While i was not stupefied by her steadily expanding body, i was focusing very very hard on making sure that her baby and i shared the same birth month. For nine months i concentrated on drawing him forth into the world on my [...]
Bad Mojo
Internet dating – i never thought i’d be into that sort of thing, and i am not, but i have ended myself up in a weird kind of long distance relationship/friendship that has become quite real in the last few weeks….. I have this vague suspicion that something is wrong but i can not quite [...]
Face Value
Making a friend in real life is different from making a friend online. Even reconnecting with someone whom you might once have known is hard to do online…. but you wouldn’t think so. You would never suspect that some one whom you might be able to have a few textual conversations with would be hard [...]
