I spent Sunday evening in quiet reflection while Jo was sleeping off her flu and realised something. I'm a lazy bugger. I think it's because i'm in my comfort zone. It's Newton's law of inertia that's come to bear...a body at rest tends to stay at rest. I need an external force to nudge me to get me moving again.
I need to do something different. I need to challenge myself...do something different...like skydive or peeing into the wind on a mountain side or something funky.
I just need to get off my lazy arse and start getting the mind working again. I think i'll start studying again.

What's your mood today?
Have you ever just sat and listened to the lyrics of some songs and then think how aptly it describes your current situation? Then you listen more and feel better because you think you're not the only person in a blue funk?
I think music is an incredible thing. I love how you react to certain songs at a particular moment in time depending on your mood. A picture may paint a thousand words but no amount of words can describe emotions as well as music can...
I'm feeling very Fall For You (Secondhand Serenade) today.

My Dinner Made Me Guilty
I had a super dinner last night
Complete with some fine wine.
Peter went to bed hungry
Because a job he could not find.
I started with a large plate of soup
And a salad with crab meat.
John and his family were so poor
They ate the scabs off their feet.
Then came my main course
A steak done medium rare.
Mark sat around an empty table
For days, his cupboards bare.
For dessert I had ice cream
Together with a lucious chocolate cake.
Martha and her husband couldn't even afford
To buy any flour to bake.
These people will still be hungry tomorrow
I didn't think of them when i paid my bill.
But what i alone had eaten that night
All their stomachs i could fill...

The Word
There're a very limited few words in the english vocabulary that can describe as much as the word fuck. I think there was an article written on this before so i hope i'm not plagiarizing.
Yesterday i was at the bar with a few friends watching the ManU-Birmingham game. One of them commented that Arse had beaten Everton 6-1 the night before. Not Arse fans, we naturally went "yea...we heard that score...oh fuck..." More like in resignation...
Subsequently after the game started, Birmingham nearly scored in the early stages and the non-manure fans around us went "OH FUCK!! How did that stay out???" It was in disbelief.
Then a minute later, manure nearly scored and we went "Oh fuck! That was a bit of luck!" This was in relief.
But then, the inevitable happened...manure scored..."OH FUCK!! I can't believe that went in like that!!" This time in anguish.
Then towards the end of the game, Birmingham nearly scored again so..."OH FUCK!! The keeper actually got a glove to that!!" In amazement.
This morning...I found out that Liverpool lost. "OH FUCK!! THEY LOST?!??" Bewilderment.
Then i read Rafa's comments that there should have been a penalty at the end. "Oh fuck...there he goes again with his excuses." Indignation.
And i do believe that this word is understood all over the world.
In Thailand while shopping "HOW MUCH?!? ARE YOU FUCKING CHEATING ME???"
In Egypt while on the streets "Stop harrassing me!! Fuck off!"
In Vietnam while learning how to cross the road from the locals "Whoa?? i have to do that?? Oh fuck..."
In England in a pub "Another pint?? Fuck yea!! Bring it on."
In America "Singapore is not in China you dumb fuck!"
In Iraq "Fuuuuuuuuck...incoming!!!!"
In Japan while enjoying sashimi "Aaaah fuck...this is nice." (also can be used in Thailand....)
So if ever you need to teach english to a foreign friend, this would be The Word to teach first. No single word can express itself so eloquently in so many forms.
Here's wishing you two a fucking great day. Hope none of those fuckers come bothering you today but if they do, i hope you fuck them up real good.

Time and Kids
Ever felt like time has just evaporated? In the blink of an eye, another month is over. So much time has passed, so many things have changed and yet nothing has changed. I'm still sitting here as i have been for the past year. I've still got my old laptop, wearing the same clothes, staying in the same house, driving the same car, eating the same food. And yet...1 year has passed.
Adults used to tell me when i was a kid that i had to know where i wanted to go to in life. I had to chart my course. But of course i was too young to understand that. Even now, i find it difficult to know where i want to be in 5 or 10 years time. Shit, i dont even know where i want to go at 6pm later.
Don't you miss being a kid? It's funny how a kid wants to be a grown up...but when you're an adult, you yearn to be a kid. The grass is greener on the other side blah blah. I miss being a kid. I hated exams and homework and getting up at 6 in the morning that sort of thing but i still miss being a kid. Fun times...
