welcom turists we spik inglis

nostradamus predicted several things. among those which he didnt predict were lecturers imparting the gift of knowledge in the form of pdf documents.

he didnt, however, mention something about cable tv. but since i never believe in predictions, i trusted him on this one and kicked back a few episodes of csi.

but id stop writing if that leads you to think that study doesnt have its fun moments.

board

tag tradition, as requested. this confirms my long-held suspicion that some of my readers are rather masochistic: who else asks for more punishment in the form of long and silly entries? i have however heard there are people in the general population who enjoy frequent penetrating entries, long and deep.


seven things you really didnt need to know about me:

7. i love the colour pink. in fact im a tad partial to reds, blues, greens, yellows, oranges and so on too. but id hold on about purple. thats just gay. and thats why we have purple on sbs tshirts. sbs is also an acronym for sell boardside.

i just mentioned that im a tad. thanks ry for reminding me just now. those of you who know me should get it by now. or now. maybe now. how about now? well, you should sooner or later.

6. i think the process of self discovery is important. for instance, one has to discover her or his core - the central spot from which gravitas, abbreviated as g, arises. g is what legendary figures like winston churchill possess. but thats not the only use of a g-spot.

5. i like nature - i like to find out about the birds and the bees. i like to watch nature.

4. i appreciate anybody with good skills, from a prodigy escalator cleaner to a gifted pencil pusher.

3. i have a problem with people who like to exercise their authority.

2. i think a certain oscar wilde approach to life is fairly commendable - roughly put, it is alacrity in irreverence and partial insanity.

1. i am unhinged, tilted. sometimes i see the world differently from many of my friends. when i slip into occasional delusion, a state most people are in all of the time, i behave as they do to - normally. it seems everybody likes to behave normally.


some friends this fact-finding tag of seven may find its way to are: viv, germ, all angelines, joy, cheryl, stan, meng.

perky

i was browsing in borders the other day when i chanced upon a highly original book title which reminded me of the importance of stringent editing, a tight budget and loose story line, and of authors with a little too much time on their hands.

it read "the da vinci goat".

cant say ive read it before.

i am rather disgusted at my frequent displays of utter ineptitude. i now know how much i dont know, and of that which i do not know, there are known unkowns and as well as large swaths of unknown unknowns. there are also known knowns but it takes a real asswipe to continue this line of thinking.

but on the issue of how to get through some of the vicissitudes of life, if i were to hear a little voice inside my head telling me what to do, it would suggest that i require some form of medication to sort out the little voice in my head. however the instructions on the medication vial might instruct that i am over-reacting. so what should i do?

right now i am of the opinion too that life is too important to be taken seriously.

bugger it. for the first time in my life i dont know how it went. but for the first time in my life, i am afraid of the answer. cos i think i just screwed up without even being aware of it. i could really do with a heads up now, big fella.

my head hurts.

appendix

tequila in moderate amounts is bad. but if like me, you have just consumed about 1litre of that stuff in under 45 minutes, the word bad might not be your immediate concern. this is largely because the amount of alcohol in your bloodstream at that moment is just about enough to turn your brown organ green. to really drive home the point, do it on an empty stomach and when youre thirsty. doesnt matter if there is no sunrise in your tequila because

one tequila

two tequila

three tequila
