How high are these walls?

Ever wonder if there something more to life? These days everything seems so "same old same old". Doesn't it get to you? Work work work, and when it come to relaxing we seem to be slip into the old routine of doing the same things again and again. At least that's how I feel. Sometimes it just feels like I'm in a rut and I want to get out, but I'm the only one trying and everyone else is quite content to trundle along doing the same old thing because it's too much trouble to think of anythign else. I guess I can't blame them too much because this god forsaken country county doesn't have much in terms of things to do. Oh yeah, you can argue - take a trip up country or down south or ionto the jungle, go white water rafting, etc... yeah yeah none of it is really cheap is it? So I guess there's nothing that can be done about it...well I'll keep trying, trying till I can't be bothered either... in the meantime if you think of anything let me know... I'm freaking bored man....

What's your Carrot?

Pretty much everything you're offered in life is a Carrot. Doesn't make sense? Remember the story of dangling a Carrot in front of a Donkey to make it go faster? Oh yeah, that's what I mean. Humans are essentially Donkey's and all good things offered to them are Carrots. Think about it. My paycheck is a Carrot. Why? Because if it wasn't dangled in front of me, I would sleep my sorry ass off and just wake up whenever I was hungry or needed to take a dump. That's just one example. And there's plenty where that came from. Love, marriage, diplomacy, tolerance, etc etc. Carrots. Oh and of course, how can we forget the greatest Carrot of all.....Heaven. "Do everything right in this life and you will be achieve a shit load of peace happiness and bliss and whatnot when you get to heaven". Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Dodgy. Now if I had a vidcon or temporary visiting rights or at least a guided tour to Heave, THEN it would make sense. But no. It's something that someone says and we run after it. We live in such a hopeless lost state of existence that we grasp at this flimsy offer, this rotten scrawny carrot, which probably is a hallucination or just our frickin imagination. We grab on and hold on tight. Why? Maybe because we all know deep down inside, that without a carrot to look forward to, there's nothing to keep us going.
Rather a bleak and escapist post after a whole damn year of silence huh? Just felt like it. Maybe more will follow...

Meanwhile I have a Carrot to run after....

On those tests

Didn't have much time to go through all the tests or the MBTI blah blah....but it's interesting.
Don't quite agree with the first test I took, but the right brain left brain thing was interesting.....

Global Personality Test Results

Stability (60%) moderately high which suggests you are relaxed, calm, secure, unemotional but possibly too unobservant of your feelings. Orderliness (36%) moderately low which suggests you tend to be unreliable, lazy, careless, and unmotivated. Extraversion (20%) low which suggests you are very quiet, introverted, and aloof.

This is the 30 short questions on the left right thing...

Brain Lateralization Test Results

Right Brain (56%) The right hemisphere is the visual, figurative, artistic, and intuitive side of the brain. Left Brain (44%) The left hemisphere is the logical, articulate, assertive, and practical side of the brain

and this is based on word association....

Fascinating.....I think I'll do some more.......

Barbie...

Wow, a month. Haven’t blogged in a month. Fascinating. Been too busy. Bloody MSN has been bloody blocked by bloody I.T. Bloody Anal Retentive Bastards (aka BARB’s) (I can safely say this now cos I’ve sort of left my IT career behind).

Anyways, time seems such a precious commodity now. I long for those days where I did nothing but lounge about and read a book and stuff my face with food. Right now I have so many things to do I wish there were two of me. People will never understand anything unless they are put in that situation. These BARB’s who are against cloning will never understand people like me who WANT 5 copies of myself around, cos that way people like me will get things done sooner and better and without conflict. Because utter control freaks like me need to do the job ourselves and can never really trust someone else to do it. (Never mind whether we do it properly ourselves – that’s another story :). But still, why complain and oppose if you’ve never been there. Why say NO to cloning? Because - cloning would be us playing GOD? Because we were never meant to ’create’, only procreate? What kind of bullshit is that? Humans will do what humans will do. If you believe in GOD, then, GOD will sort things out. Leave it at that. For example (another broad-based-blown-out-of-proportion example), if it’s wrong to clone then it’s wrong that people believe in other religions. WE must destroy the unbelievers. Geez. Didn’t we go through that process already. Now we live in relative calm, just taking occasional potshots at each other. Think about it. If the other religions are not meant to be, then Lord Vishnu would have taken an Avatar and sent the non-hindu’s packing. Or Allah would have his Angels take out the heathens. Same with Jesus and the Holy Father, or the Jews or the Great Gonzo. The latter is probably some god somewhere, he’s added there for effect. The fact that none of these guys has done any of these world altering incidents means that all of us of different faiths have come to terms that we have to live and let live and let’s see who wins the race in the end kinda thing. SO. You BARBies who don’t want cloning, SHUT UP! If GOD does get pissed off about us cloning, then he’ll make a personal visit down here and sort our sorry asses out. If he doesn’t, then either he doesn’t exist or he doesn’t care or he’s asleep (sleep is what I would do if I was god).

<>This post doesn’t feel complete. I must stop blogging from work and take more time doing this….

I shall also endevour to research more on the Great Gonzo!

Paraskevidekatriaphobia

Hah! More horribly long words! Paraskevidekatriaphobia means Fear of Friday the 13th. Fascinating. Seriously who sits and comes up with these words? Seems like the trend from the late 70's todate has been to name anythign and everythign. (why do I always end my ng's as gn's, typo typo typo). Seems like the world wants to label EVERYTHING. For example,

I'm feelign lazy to take a bath - blutophobia
That radio's on too loud - Acousticophobia
Don't wanna go out now - Agoraphobia (Fear of open spaces or of being in crowded, public places like markets. Fear of leaving a safe place)
etc etc.
For a full list (pretty much) go check this place out.

Ok, maybe the way I put out the examples is a tad too extreme, but go to any shrink and that's what he'll tell you. Sad. Everythign has a name. Now I understand why some guys give their penises a name.....
as for my consistent gn gn gntypo's , I'm handicapped. I have gngngnophobia! Pity me........

"Fly you fools" - Gandalf (In the mines of Moria)

This world is full of idiots. Hence the defn's in the previous post. Of course when I say Idiot here, I mean the usual proper meaning of the word. Anyways gettign back to my point about idiots. Is intelligence doled out in quantities? Is it a percentage? Is there only a finite quantity of it in existence? Because this country seems to have got more than it's fair share.

eg 1:- You meet someone in a restaurant. First thing they ask you "Hey machang, came to eat?"
grrr....no you blithering idiot, I came shit on a plate and draw pretty flowery designs on it with your noodle brain!

eg 2:- Going to Hotshot at 1 A.M in the morning (as Spike and I usually do). The Security blokes at the car park NEVER fail to ask us, "sir, Kohayda yannay?". At this point I used to stare incredulously at the bloke or go into fits of laughter, soon after which the bloke would let me through. My fried usually says "Hameedia's ekata yanawa, koththu ekak ganna". Like DUH! Where else would you goto (ooh a BASIC command, remember?) in MC at 1 in the mornign?
And don't get me started on the intelligence levels of the waiters at Hotshot. There must be oncelled amoeba on Saturn that are more alert and aware of the world than those dolts.

Nowadays, I'm very patient, because I realise these people have the birth defect of not being able find their arses without a map (assuming they can read that is). It's a wonder they found their way out the womb in the first place. No. Go back further. The sperm was probably wandering along competely lost and without purpose and suddenly crashed into the egg. Probably thought it was a nice place to snuggle into. Fast forward a few years and that action translates itself into grief for us.

Too many fools and idiots.

Idiot - A few definitions

Definitions of idiot on the Web:

a person of subnormal intelligence
www.cogsci.princeton.edu/cgi-bin/webwn

<> Intrusion Detection In Our Time. A system that detects intrusions using pattern-matching. (In the immortal words of Tim Taylor - Guahhh???)
www.tsl.state.tx.us/ld/pubs/compsecurity/glossary.html

A member of a large and powerful tribe whose influence in human affairs has always been dominant and controlling. (So now Idiot is complimentary?)
www.geocities.com/vasudevanvrv/deftdef2.htm

meant originally a private person, one not engaged in any public office. Hence Jeremy Taylor says, "Humility is a duty in great ones, as well as in idiots" (private persons). The Greeks have the expressions, "a priest or an idiot" (layman), "a poet or an idiot" (prose-writer). As idiots were not employed in public offices, the term became synonymous with incompetency to fulfil the duties thereof. (Greek, idiotes.) (See Baron.)

Any player who, when being in the final stage of a level, loses against the personal enemy of myself, thus allowing this player to win the level and the game. Any player who, after being hit lethally by my ingenious strategics, droppes a bomb, killing me as well.

A person with learning disabilities. The term was part of a standard classification of people with learning disabilities in the nineteenth century which implied that a person had a severe learning difficulty.

Fascinating eh? and why am I being underlined and hyperlinked....ggrrrrrrr

Fascinating....

In order to laugh at something, it is necessary (1) to know what you are laughing at, (2) to know why you are laughing, (3) to ask some people why they think you are laughing, (4) to jot down a few notes, (5) to laugh. Even then, the thing may not be cleared up for days.

Truth is stranger than fiction; fiction has to make sense.


A forty-five letter word connoting a lung disease, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, is the longest word in Webster’s Third New International Dictionary. The longest word in the Oxford English Dictionary means the act of estimating as worthless — floccipaucinihilipilification, which has twenty-nine letters.

Who the Fuck uses words like this?

Does everyone get this too...

I did that quiz thing from N's site. Ended up getting the same result as her. The Fight Club. Hmmmm....

And he's who?

Yesterdays news.
"Olympic president Jacques Rogge believes Athens is ready to host the 2004 Summer Games. The chief of the International Olympic Committee made his views known after arriving in the Greek capital nine days prior to the start of the Games"
A bit late in the day to say this isn't it? After all the bloody thin is supposed to start NEXT week. And this guy is WHO? President of the Olympic Commitee? Oh wow, the organisational skills of that place is really impressing me now. Not that it failed to impresss me before. After all the whole olympics shenanigan is a disaster anyways no. What with the recent glass dome fiasco, where it wouldn't fit the stadium it was built for to the old times, where one marathon competitor decided to give up and walk back to the start line a little bit into the event. The disaster there was that the course doubled back to to start line so the start line was the finish line as well. And since this dude was taking a nice leisurely walk back he made it back there just as the lead 'walkers' were spotted a few hundrd metre's or so behind him. Of course the vastly intelligent officials, promptly gave the race win to the slacker. Go figure.

Ooh ooh....

GRRRRRARARARARAOOOOOOWAAAAAAA!!!
Just had to get that out. What with my posting being erratic and all that, it was very annoying that both times that I got any kinda post done - the power went off. Yes yes I know there are ways of overcoming this, but I can't be bothere. So there. Nuff said.
Spik is blogging! No wonder the weather went awry. But then can't blame it all on him, maybe the planets re-aligned or something,
AAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Pressed Ctrl-S thinking this was word. Force of habit. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Bloody blog published! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa.
Where was I.........ah yes.....Re-aligned or something, cos some really weird ass things happened to me in the past few weeks. For reasons of confidentiality and getting my career shoved up my ass or me getting shoved up my careers as (both of which would be very painful not to mention dark and stinky {like Cupcake Bunny})
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
it happened again.
This is not WORD. This is not WORD. This is not WORD. This is not WORD. This is not WORD. This is not WORD. This is not WORD. This is not WORD.
Maybe now I'll stop pressing those damned keys.
Anyways to avoid any kinda shoving anywhere I won't say much here. The gist is I've had a few weirdly weird relationships come my way. Right now it's all very confusing. So this is what Loki must feel like all the time.....wow.
Oh oh oh. Last week at Loki's. (In true Loki style of reproducing conversations - or as close as it gets)
Taurus: "Hey I've got some Mp3's in the car you should hear."
Loki: "Oooh"
T: "Your DVD player can play them no?"
L: "uhuh"
So I shoved the cd into the player and proceeded to manipulate the damn thing via the bloody menu that pops up on TV when you press menu.
Loki returns to the room to see what is playing.
L: "What is that?"
T:"Static-X, good shit no?"
L:" Yes yes, but what is that?"
T:"What's what?"
L:"That MENU! How did you get that?"
T:" Er.....I pressed menu. That's how I always do it, errr.....how do you usually select songs?"
L:"I keep pressing NEXT....."
T:"even if the song is like no.67 or somethign"
L:"yes"
T:"......."
Realisation dawns. T:" I forgot, only 2 braincells. It's ok, I understand"
