November 03 The Ten Reasons Why HIGHLY INTELLIGENT Men Fail With
Women... AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT... by David DeAngelo, author of "Double Your Dating"
I've been teaching men how to become more successful with women and
dating for several years now... and one "problem scenario" just keeps coming up
OVER AND OVER... and OVER and OVER and OVER again...
...and it really amazes me.
I'm going to refer to it as "The Genius Failure Paradox".
"The Genius Failure Paradox" is the tendency for UNUSUALLY intelligent men to
have very LOW levels of success with women and dating.
After contemplating this particular paradox, discussing it, and working on it
for an awesome amount of time, I'd like to share my thoughts about it with you.
I assume that if you've read this far, then you see probably yourself as
smarter than the average guy.
You know that you're a little different than other guys.
You probably realized at a young age that you saw things differently, and
thought differently than others in school...
And you've probably realized that your smart mind gives you an advantage over
others in many areas of life...
Your smart mind gives you a particular type of advantage that can be very,
very powerful in life: YOU'RE USUALLY RIGHT.
Smart people get used to being "right", because they usually ARE right.
And when you're RIGHT more often than others, you can get ahead in many
situations.
But unfortunately, this smart mind of yours can actually be WORSE than
USELESS when it comes to a key area of life:
WOMEN AND DATING.
By the way, I did say WORSE than useless.
It can actually be like having a hammer when you need to tighten a bolt. If
you use the tool you have for the job, you'll most likely make the situation
WORSE.
Of course, it's hard for a smart guy to even IMAGINE a situation where his
smart mind could HURT his chances for success...
But trust me, this is one of those situations.
So relax, open your smart mind, and let me share with you the ten reasons why
smart guys fail with women... and what to do about it.
Reason #1: They're wrong, but they can't or won't see it or admit
it.
I mentioned that smart guys are used to being RIGHT in most situations.
And what do most smart guys do when they come across a situation where
they're WRONG?
They find a new situation... one that fits their strength. They know they'll
be right next time, so they just walk away... knowing that it won't be long
before they're right again.
(OR they let the "problem situation" destroy them... more on that later.)
Well, the BITCH about being wrong when it comes to women and dating is
THERE'S NOWHERE TO RUN AND HIDE.
There's no quick "I'm right" around the next corner to make you feel better.
It only takes "failing" with a few women in a row for a smart guy to see the
pattern... and realize that something isn't working.
Solution? Think harder.
A smart guy just assumes that his logic must be good... so he just keeps
thinking harder.
But when no success comes, it really starts to become mentally difficult.
Accepting that you're wrong is a VERY hard thing for a "smart guy".
Accepting that you're not only wrong, but you have NO CLUE WHERE TO EVEN
START is even more difficult.
Ultimately, many smart guys come up with the following logical conclusion:
I AM A SMART GUY, THEREFORE IF I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL WITH
WOMEN AND DATING, THEN THE PROBLEM MUST NOT BE SOLVABLE OR WORTH SOLVING.
Try that on for a self-defeating idea.
Reason #2: They're blind and arrogant.
In short, many smart guys refuse to accept that a good, solid, workable
answer could come from someone "dumber" than them, so they discount any idea
that comes from an "obviously less intelligent person" before trying it.
Let me ask you a question:
If you were going to be walking across Africa on foot, would you rather have
your guide be the guy on this planet with the highest I.Q., or a caveman who
lived a million years ago that had an I.Q. of about 50... but who grew up being
chased by lions and all kinds of animals that wanted to eat him all his life?
It's an interesting question.
Now, hopefully you'd like to have the guide who isn't the smartest guy
around... but who has escaped from many, many dangerous situations with deadly
animals...
But now let me ask you:
If you'd like to learn how to be more successful with women and dating, would
you take advice from a guy who isn't very intelligent, but who knows how to
attract women?
There's something about being smart that makes some guys unwilling to accept
input, ideas, or instruction from anyone who isn't either as smart or smarter
than them.
Well, any SMART GUY can see the folly in this particular approach... once
it's examined closely.
If you've been making this mistake, then you need to STOP IT. Stop being an
arrogant bastard, and open your eyes.
Look around.
Learn from some "dumb" guys... and let them teach you how to get what you
REALLY want.
Reason #3: Poor Social Skills.
It BLOWS MY MIND how many smart guys I meet that just don't GET IT when it
comes to basic social skills.
It's as if they have logically reasoned that social skills are for lower
beings who need to play games... and not worth the time it would take to learn
them.
In fact, I believe that there are a lot of smart guys running around this
planet who don't even have "social skills" and "be a cool guy that people like"
in their "MENTAL MODEL" of what it could possibly take to be successful with
women and dating.
Social skills are just that... SKILLS.
They're not social INFORMATION.
They're not social THEORIES.
They're social SKILLS.
And you don't get them by THINKING about them. You get them by GETTING them.
Excellent social skills are the foundation for good communication with other
humans... and if you don't have good social skills, you dramatically lower your
chances for success with women.
Reason #4: They psych themselves out.
Smart guys do something that fascinates the hell out of me...
They come up with all the reasons why everything WON'T WORK when it comes to
women and dating.
They actually figure out why what they would like to do will probably fail...
They use their amazing creative imaginations to imagine all kinds of horrible
pictures and scenes... and then they use those imaginary outcomes to create
negative emotions... which ultimately stop them from having success with women
and dating.
THEY DON'T EVEN TRY.
Now, if you've thought something through and come up with a good reason why
it would fail, it makes sense to not do it, right?
I mean, why would you want to do things that are going to fail?
It's sound logic, but HORRIBLE thinking when it comes to the REAL WORLD...
and success with women.
Because smart guys don't UNDERSTAND women, and they don't UNDERSTAND what it
takes to be successful with women, they are working with bad figures. They're
wrong before they even start figuring!
Using your mind to come up with all the reasons why things won't work in this
area of your life leads to ULTIMATE FAILURE.
You must learn to overcome this habit if you have it.
Reason #5: They seek only "informational solutions."
What does a smart guy do when he runs into a problem... or he needs to figure
something out?
He looks for INFORMATION to help him solve the problem.
MORE INFORMATION is always the answer.
Information is the friend of a smart guy.
Got a strange virus on your computer? Just hop on the internet and search for
how to eliminate it.
Don't know how to change the alternator on your car? No prob. Just buy the
manual and turn to page 147.
Don't know the definition of a word? Open up your dictionary.
MORE INFORMATION solves the problem.
So what do smart guys do when it comes to overcoming a problem with women?
They want MORE INFORMATION.
They think the answer lies in learning just ONE MORE TECHNIQUE... or one more
magic concept.
Well what if there were a situation in life where the "get more information"
strategy actually made things WORSE?
How would you even know that it was making things worse?
Now, I don't want to suggest that learning more about how to be successful
with women is a bad thing. It's not.
But if you have a problem that is EMOTIONAL or PHYSICAL in nature, then
reading five million theories on it probably isn't going to help you very much.
You need to get out in the real world and try some stuff!
You need to look at the REAL problem... the ROOT of the problem.
When it comes to women and dating, there's a very good chance that you have
MORE than enough "information".
Smart guys often use "more information" to distract them from TAKING ACTION.
I've heard this referred to as "Creative Avoidance".
Nod silently if you've ever figured out a creative way to avoid facing
something in your life.
Good, thank you.
Reason #6: They focus on logic instead of emotion.
NEWS JUST IN: Women don't feel ATTRACTION for men who make them THINK.
Women feel ATTRACTION for men who make them FEEL.
So what do most smart guys do when they first meet a woman?
EXACTLY!
They get into a LOGICAL CONVERSATION.
I'm shaking my head right now...
Smart men try to engage women in LOGICAL conversations and interactions
because that's where THEY feel comfortable... not knowing that they're SHOOTING
THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT by doing it!
Get this: A monkey sitting at a typewriter will type the collected works of
Shakespeare before you will make a woman feel ATTRACTION for you by engaging her
in logical conversation.
When you start a logical conversation with a woman you've just met, you are
basically taking out a NEON SIGN that says "I don't get it when it comes to
women" and putting it on your head.
Typical "logical" conversations include talking about work, family, school,
and jobs... discussing politics, religion, weather... and anything that has to
do with math, science, or INTELLIGENCE.
On the other hand, if you start talking to a woman and you say "OK, so tell
me something... Why is it that all women say that they want sweet, nice guys...
but they all date sexy, selfish bad boys?" (and then make fun of any answer she
gives) you're having an EMOTIONAL conversation.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, keep reading. You need more help
than I thought.
Reason #7: They're not used to the challenge of the moment.
Smart people usually have time to THINK about things.
If you're taking a test, you can sit there and work out the answers.
If you have a math problem, you can work on it until you've figured it out.
If you're trying to fix something, you can keep working on it until it's
fixed.
Smart guys are used to being able to take at least a LITTLE bit of time to
prepare and show off their "good sides" in most situations.
Not so with women...
If you don't know what to do at every step along the way, you'll be shut down
very quickly.
Women have an AMAZING "He doesn't get it" radar system.
Women have all kinds of subtle and ingenious tests that they throw at men to
separate the "get its" from the "don't get its".
And if you don't get it, then you're going to fail one of these tests VERY
quickly.
But the worst part is that you won't ever KNOW that you were being tested...
OR that you failed.
Smart guys aren't used to dealing with complex EMOTIONAL and COMMUNICATION
challenges in the moment... and especially the "women and dating" kind.
One of they keys to becoming more successful with women and dating is
learning to handle all of the tests that women throw at you effortlessly.
But before you can learn how to deal with the tests, you must first learn how
to communicate on an emotional level, how to demonstrate that you have
fundamental social skills, and how to keep your cool in the moment.
Reason #8: They think that doing "nice" things is the "smart
way."
OK, let me ask you a trick question:
If I told you that you were going to have a date with the supermodel of your
choice, which of the following would you choose as a "smart" way of preparing:
1) Find out what her favorite type of flowers are, and show up with a dozen
of them so she would be "wowed".
2) Learn about her favorite travel destination so you could discuss it with
her.
3) Find out what her favorite type of food is so you could take her to
dinner... and she could see that you cared enough to choose something that she
enjoyed.
OK, time's up. Which did you choose?
Now, I already mentioned that this was a TRICK question.
The answer is NONE OF THE ABOVE.
But WHY?
These three options all seemed logical, right?
I mean, why WOULDN'T you want to show up with her favorite flowers?
Why WOULDN'T you want to talk about her favorite places to travel?
Why WOULDN'T you want to take her to eat her favorite foods so she enjoyed
herself?
Go with me here...
Smart guys think that they're being CLEVER when they do things like buying a
woman her favorite flowers... and bringing them to the FIRST DATE.
Right?
In their minds, they're thinking "I'm going to be the guy who is thinking
ahead... and I'm going to show up with the flowers that I KNOW she loves... and
she's going to see them and like me more because of it".
Makes sense... good math, right?
Well the one teensy-weensy mistake that these "smart" guys make is not
realizing that it doesn't actually take a smart person to think like this!
In fact, ANY jackass can figure out how to kiss a woman's ass.
And guess what?
WOMEN KNOW THIS!
And guess what else?
EVERY WUSSBAG DOES THIS STUFF.
An intelligent guy, in his proud arrogance, will think he's being such the
charmer by using this "thoughtful" approach...
...and the woman he is chasing will interpret it as just another Wussy who's
trying to MANIPULATE her.
Ouch. Another blow to intelligence.
Reason #9: Always needing to be the expert.
Have you ever met a smart guy who always needed to be "right"?
Have you ever met someone who would actually argue with you about something
they knew nothing about... and make a fool of themselves because they just
couldn't shut their "smart mouths"?
Over the last few years helping guys improve their success with women, I see
this one pattern over and over again...
Smart guys don't like to be "beginners" at ANYTHING.
They don't like the idea of screwing up... especially if others are watching.
They want to maintain this "smart guy" image of themselves... so they try to
always be "The Expert" at whatever they do.
Instead of saying "Hey, you know what? I'm a beginner at this... how do I do
it? What should I do first? What next?"... and instead of being totally OK with
screwing up, making mistakes, and making a fool of themselves in front of others
in order to LEARN...
...they won't risk embarrassment, failure, or others thinking that they're
beginners... so they wind up ultimately FAILING.
MORE NEWS JUST IN: It's OK to be a beginner.
Reason #10: They can't deal with fear and other emotions.
A smart guy's STRENGTH is his MIND.
His WEAKNESS is often his EMOTIONS.
Smart guys are often IMMOBILIZED by FEAR.
Totally stopped.
FROZEN.
And since many smart guys aren't comfortable dealing with things they're not
good at, they just repress or RUN away from fear.
Many men would rather DIE in lonely isolation than admit that they don't know
how to deal with their emotions... or, GOD FORBID, ask for help!
Hey, I went for YEARS like this.
I know what it's like.
But the reality is that any guy can learn to handle and even MASTER his
emotions (even fear)... if he just takes the time and effort to learn HOW to do
it.
If this is you, then do yourself a big favor... take the time. Take the
effort.
Don't worry about what anyone else thinks of you... it doesn't matter.
What matters is you doing the things that YOU need to do FOR YOU.
...I think the reason why I'm so fascinated with "The Genius Failure Paradox"
is because I have had to struggle with all of these issues for a lot of years of
my life.
Now, I'm not saying that I'm the smartest guy on the planet...
But I don't think mamma raised no fool.
And it always bothered the hell out of me that even though I was so good at
figuring things out, I couldn't figure WOMEN out.
Something tells me that you know what I'm talking about.
Well, after beating my head against the wall for a few years... trying all
kinds of crazy "logical" stuff... I finally got the "bright" idea to start
studying guys who were "naturally" good with women.
Of course, I found out that you could be both NOT SMART, and VERY SUCCESSFUL
WITH WOMEN at the same time.
I also learned that you can be SMART and VERY SUCCESSFUL WITH WOMEN too.
By carefully studying what the "naturals" did with women... and learning how
they "thought" about the topic, I began to realize that success with women
wasn't entirely LOGICAL.
Much of what I learned was very tough for me to accept... because my logical
brain just didn't want to buy into it.
One thing I saw was guys pushing women away from them... and having the women
then chase them in response.
Made no sense at all.
I saw guys tease beautiful women and make jokes about them to their faces...
and then watched those women become "little girls" in response... unable to
maintain their composure, and therefore unable to maintain their manipulative
power...
It took me quite a long time, but I continued to learn, test, and refine what
I was learning until I personally figured out how to approach women in any
situation... get any woman's number I wanted anytime I wanted... date any type
of woman I wanted...
...and most importantly, GET RID of that "empty" feeling that I carried
around my whole life because I didn't know how to attract women.
And once I got this area of my own life together, I decided to help other
guys get this area of THEIR lives together.
And I'll talk to you again soon.
Your Friend,
David DeAngelo
When smart men finished reading articles such as these, they'll most probably agree with them. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out the logic in that. The problem with the really intelligent ones, is 5 minutes after reading and agreeing, they'll say to themselves "meh...who cares". These are usually the smart men with really beautiful girlfriends, and a pretty decent track record.
Meh...who cares.
July 12 Hello Internet folks, how are you again. Oh no, your terrapin escaped? Please post a blog so you may tell the whole world about it. For the rest of you non-terrapin-lovers, have you purchased your iPhone? No? Please close this page right now, and proceed to bid for a life worth living on eBay. Ah, so you did, you sly fox. Please read on then, dear fellow iPhone friends.
|
Keep your terrapin somewhere safe. Like your hand. |
Hello friends, how are you...again. Let me congratulate you on your recent purchase. I'm sure you must be really happy with yourself. Give yourself a pat on your back! You have done well, very well indeed. Right now, you should be in the center of all that attention you deserve. Also, I'm fairly certain you must be getting tired of all the comments from stupid people regarding your purchase. Why do I call these people stupid, you inquire? Why, because they are, my fair lady. They have displayed an utter lack of a normal cognitive brain, one capable of forming thoughts that do not involve nudity, dogs, and naked dogs. Here is a list of things stupid people like to say:
- "iPhone sucks because no 3G!" (replace 3G with any other key feature of a state-of-the-art PPC that the iPhone lacks)
- "iPhone sucks because you can't remove battery!"
- "iPhone sucks because it's too expensive!"
- "iPhone sucks because it's version 1.0 of Apple hardware!"
- "iPhone sucks because it's for Apple fanboys!"
And if you're living in Singapore (God have mercy) or any other country other than the United States:
- "Wah siao bo, buy also cannot use buy for what!?"
- "Wah lao, so expensive but no phone functions sia haha!"
- "Serious anot, still need to hack then can use? Haha troublesome laaaa"
- ...insert any comment that sounds remotely retarded, highly irrelevant, and altogether pointless.
"But why do you think they're stupid, kind sir?"
Because, my dear friend, all these people have one thing in common: they do not own an iPhone.
|
Sourgrapes talk alot...and are usually not very good to look at |
"Oh snap!"
Yes, the truth is awfully clear. Let me raise a few points in an attempt to make it even clearer:
- Clearly, we didn't buy the iPhone because it has 3G (replace 3G with any other key feature of a state-of-the-art PPC that the iPhone lacks). What, it's ok for you to get a phone that has 3G but does not have (for example) GPS, but it's suddenly wrong for us to get a phone without 3G but has a multitouch screen and rotary sensor? Get real, please. If we wanted 3G, we would've gotten a 3G phone.
- If you can't fathom the above, something is very wrong with your ability to think logically. Please stop reading this article immediately before you expire from brain haemorrhage.
- A phone's battery can typically last 2 years. A techie/early adopter usually changes a phone in half that time, and the majority of the rest usually does that after their contract ends in 2 years. So what gives?
- If it's too expensive, we wouldn't have gotten it, now would we? It's hard, but there's no other way than to come out and say it: "expensive" is a highly subjective word.
- We don't care if it's version 1.0 for 3 major reasons: 1st, we believe Apple has learnt its lessons and has made significant effort to assure good quality hardware (we're definitely not disappointed). 2nd, the iPhone's software will be updated via iTunes periodically. 3rd, and most importantly, we're not going to wait another year (or even 6 months) for a version 2.0. If the need be, we'll buy that too when it arrives, but no we don't see the point in holding our collective breath.
- Many of us are not Apple fanboys. I myself has never owned a single piece of Apple equipment prior to the iPhone. Not even so much as to touch a macbook. Viva la Windows.
- As for those in countries where the iPhone has yet to launch: If we want to buy a working phone, wouldn't it be common sense that we would've bought a normal working phone?? Cognitive capacity, anyone? I mean come on, what's wrong with you people? Let me spell it out again: If we want a phone that works, we would have gotten one - that works. Period.
- As for the "trouble" involved in activating the phone, many of us - either through work or studies - have a computer literacy capable of more than a few mouse clicks or using MSN Messenger. Again, isn't that common sense? Obviously people who've actually put the money in to buy an iPhone will clearly know the "work" involved to activate it. So what gives?
"So why did you get an iPhone, kind sir?"
Well, first lets talk about what I did not get the iPhone for. I did not get an iPhone so I can save the world, find a cure for AIDS, or invade China, so all the "iPhone sucks because it does not have <insert random PPC feature>" comments are moot. Also, I already own an Atom Life. It is a HSDPA phone, 624 mhz (fastest in its class), runs WM6, superb email functionality etc, and is all-in-all a delightful piece of equipment. What this means is I certainly did not get the iPhone for its "phone functions", so all those comments are moot too.
So why did I get it? Because it is beautiful. Yes, there is no better way to say it but that. Believe me, there is absolutely no way to appreciate that fact other than to own the phone yourself, so I'm not even going to try to write a review to convince the stupids. I took it out for one day, and I have people's heads all over me. Call me an attention whore, but hey, we're all attention whores to a degree so lets not get too hypocritical about it.
|
User experience is 11.5cm long and 61mm wide |
I got it because it's a great gadget. Again, there's no way to understand this other than holding and using it for yourself. You can read all the reviews you want, or play around with a friend's or at the Apple store, but believe me nothing beats owning one for real. To actually use it at the comfort of your home, or wherever you may be, loaded with your own photos and music and internet shortcuts etc, is euphoria. The whole experience is state-of-the-art, and you simply cannot describe experience on a tech spec sheet.
So my friends, if you find yourself surrounded by the stupids, here's what you do: DO NOT WASTE A MINUTE TRYING TO CONVINCE THEM! They're mostly just being the illustrative/archetypal sourgrapes that they are, and there's no way you can logically convince these people (as I've illustrated, they do not possess the capacity for logical thinking). These people love nothing more than to put others down so as to hide the hurt that is happening to their egos. What you can do is perhaps to show them this article, so they may hopefully see their folly and cry themselves to sleep at night.
For the rest of the non-stupids who haven't decided but require more convincing, here's a superb and detailed review of the iPhone, including the good and the bad. But remember: you cannot write a review on real user experience. Many people have requested me to post photos. I promise I'll do that - once I stop masturbating to the touch of my new phone.
June 01 Bots search for friends on the internets. They actively seek out like-minded "bohemistic" individuals in places like Friendster, Facebook and Blogspot, and their popularity (read "level of social acceptance") and/or self esteem are determined by the number of other Bots in their "Friends List", and the number of comments they've received.
Bots keep blogs where they really love posting pictures of themselves doing all sorts of silly things (like going to girlie parties or making group monkey faces) everyday. In a Bot's world, it is cool to be a monkey. Like, monkey Bots...or whatever.
Bots believe people who're nice to them are really nice people. Even on the internets. People who leave nice comments on their "shout boxes" or comment positively on their blogs are nice, whereas people who're mean, call them ugly, or simply point out the massiveness of their noses are not so nice.
Bots enjoy posting comments on how big other people's noses are. They are natural gossips.
Bots will use silly words not just in speech, but also in writing. Words like lah, leh, lor, liao, kao, sia, meh, hor, sian etc are perceived to contain embedded cryptic meanings.
Bots feel desperate, unwanted, awkward and distressed if their friends are "mean" to them.
Bots are incapable of stringing words together to form proper sentences. Phrases like "siao bo i wuv hellokitty kekeke" make perfect linguistic sense.
Bots relish in mediocrity. They think silly, unimportant things define their little lives.
In small congregations, Bots enjoy nothing more than a discourse about the latest in fashion, clubbing scenes, chilling out spots, fancy eateries, gender superiority, and Japanese automobiles. Topics of Byzantine proportions - such as how to hook up with chicks in a club, ways to make a Suzuki generate more noise (or other issues concerning ricer mobiles), how much alcohol can a Bot imbibe before turning into the philistine he/she is, or how to best dress like a clown - are commonplace amongst such assemblage of serfs.
Bots think NEWater is the nectar of gods. It gives a quite literal meaning to "shit for brains".
Bots know nothing outside the world of "going for a drive", "go where chill", "go where watch movie", and "go where to chiong har?"
Bots think it's "cool" and "in" to read off the entire alcohol menu of a typical club off the top of their heads.
Bots are concerned if they can find themselves a decent 9-5 job with their education - if that is even a genuine concern. Nevertheless, when they finally get their "decent jobs", they waste their time griping and ranting about their worthless jobs, and thinking about nothing other than weekends when they can partake in even more worthless activities. Talk about a belated reality check that, on hindsight, wasn't even hindsight at all (ha ha ha I'm so funny...)
Bots harp on the heightening rupture between education and learning (replace with any other social issue), but do not grasp the true reality of it. (If you read this sentence and know not of what it means, face it, you're a Bot). They just think it's cool to harp on it.
Beware not to accidentally trip on or bump into a Bot on a crowded train, or the Bot will "tsk" you to death. It's the Death Tsk, and we're all extremely vulnerable to it - or at least the Bot thinks so.
Bots do not know that, at 174% of disposable income, they are the most indebted people in the world. Even if they know, they will still spend above their capacity because it's the only thing that makes them feel good about themselves.
Bots do not know - or worse, they do not care even when they know - that they do not have the right to assembly, the freedom of expression, a pluralistic press, minimum wage and other labor protection, basic social security and welfare, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.
Bots are better off dead if they're middle aged, jobless, and sick. Seriously.
Bots are responsible for the number 66.6.
Manipulability, predictability and being bromidic are clearly the forte of Bots. Bots make the perfect social tools.
Bots are obviously too poor to afford a neural upgrade, much less a transplant.
Bots relish in mediocrity....x2
Bots think the grandest things in life are limited to buying a Japanese automobile, owning a flat, and an annual trip to Disneyland. You may replace "Disneyland" with Bali, Tioman, Bangkok, or any other place which is considered "hip" and "lifestylish", from college dorms discussions to office cubicles gossips. This may seem senseless to you (especially if you're a Bot), but the irony is actually in "college dorms to office cubicles".
Bots are a far cry from being philosophical and/or intellectual (read "not just academic excellence").
Seriously, Bots relish in mediocrity.
Bots are sharply offended when people do not respect them, but deep in their private hearts, Bots do not much respect themselves. (Thank you, Mark Twain)
Bots have low self esteem. They deserve it.
Bots are ungracious, uncouth, awkward, bad-mannered, barbaric, bearish, bucolic, boorish, brusque, cantankerous, cheap, churlish, cloddish, clownish, clumsy, coarse, countrified, crass, crude, crusty, curt, discourteous, disgracious, gawky, graceless, gross, gruff, heavy-handed, ill-bred, ill-mannered, impertinent, impetuous, <gasp!> impolite, inelegant, loud, loud-mouthed, loutish, lowbred, lubberly, oafish, ornery, provincial, raunchy, raw, rough, rude, rustic, snippy, strange, swainish, tasteless, ugly, uncivil, uncivilized, uncultivated, uncultured, uneducated, ungainly, ungenteel, ungentlemanly, unpoised, unpolished, unrefined, unseemly, and vulgar. Especially in public places. You get the idea.
Bots hold pink ICs. To add salt to injury, they're proud of it.
Bots smell like poo.
There are too many Bots. They are not dying fast enough. Utopia is likened to a terror attack on Suntec during the IT Show.
Are you a Bot?
"Oh lord, let me not be stuck here for the rest of my life." February 06 A recent study made by a group of experts consisting of Mary Kate Olsen's fashion consultant, 4 lab mice, a couple of hobos, and an oversized McNugget has come up with a revolutionary observation about my room:

Come buy viagra tooooo mkaythx!! | September 23 This was tiger country, monkey territory. Lush, wild and only the lonely. As it was early spring the birds were still somewhat subdued, the earlier cold spells had left a mark on their presence and exuberance. Both Tiger and Monkey had been — each in their own way — preparing themselves for their anticipated return. Year after year spring had come, so had the birds. What was to come arrived so fast it didn’t have time to rearrange these presuppositions. It has always been inappropriate to contemplate the renewal of life without the presence of flower beds and birdsong; so the heavens themselves were approached to give the skin of life a massage.
 |
| Round 1 - FIGHT! | Monkey. Monkey was the one who had left the troop. There was no future there. Only monkeys to play with and to choose from. For Monkey that awareness had caused some teeth-chattering laughter. The whole troop had taken it badly, they had surrounded and challenged him, there was only one way to go: up in the tree given to him at birth. He knew, he had been sleeping in his tree of life ever since. It had given him food, shelter and the freedom of tree life. And, on good days the forest, from floor to canopy, it was all his. Yes, and yet.
Tiger. Tiger had been a tiger all her life, as a cub the entire class of pioneers had unanimously chosen her as the one that should be called: “Tiger the only Tiger who was promised to be a Tiger”. She could catch her tail faster than any other cub; her stripes were more varied than those of any other tiger; her movements were so delightful to watch and so innately gracious that already after a few days playing just a few feet away from her mother she had been chosen as a future queen of the forest. Her paws were chocolate soft and lily white, her little claws were already as sharp as lightning. No doubt she was the only Tiger that was going to move with absolute determination and infallible certainty along the path towards her promised life.
And so it happened that time, instead of running after, ran ahead of itself. Clearly there was something in the air that a sleeve couldn’t wipe clean. On a bright and sunny afternoon there was this weather vane directing the traffic. Mock attacks, fancy dress parties and exchanges of good will, they all passed by. It was to be as much a sight as an enjoyment on all fours. All of a sudden, ears stretched, nostrils vibrating, muscles at the ready, there was this roaring tremor, it was like the earth opening up, ready to receive its offspring. Monkey leapt on the back of Tiger. Whirling and twirling, sunning and bathing, rolling and frolicking. Hair and skin were from now on bed and kin; air and breath became the pathway to their intertwined future. No would never be any more a sound cleaving the sky. What’s more, there was this smell penetrating their skin, this foreboding, this magnetism and mutuality: two bodies one purpose; four legs one direction. It all happened with such an incredible force and speed that it felt as if time was shrinking and shifting shape.

Heart-shaped nipple = Winner |
Monkey and Tiger were given the times of their lives back. The sun had made their dreams come true. The forest had to be explored and prepared for a new experience: how to dare together, how to share the result of this earthquake they had set in motion? How to recognise the new opportunities but also the new dangers? What is to come will never be the same as what has been. Face to face, Monkey and Tiger were ready and all over the place; they were grooming each other for both the short and the long haul. Their day had come.
Gradually their eyes were adapting to this new life form. Being together provided even the sun with a new task: just to be there was enough. Whether the night took the sky away or the rain the heat Monkey and Tiger kept the order of the universe going. It was the world of dreams that was giving them food, shelter and life. September 17 It's been a while since I last talked about the ongoing and very hot topic regarding the IMF meeting right here in Singapore. Oh wait, no. I have yet to talk about the IMF meeting that's taking place right here in Singapore. Sometimes I wish people, especially dumb Singaporeans, will stop getting a boner everytime someone mentions the fact that the meeting is taking place right here in Singapore.
 |
| All bluff. | So anyway, recently I've been busying myself covering the IMF thing that somehow involves the World Bank, some Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), the Singapore security agencies, and other queer individuals and groups, and how they all come together like in a huge orgy that is somehow funny because it's stupid. As a very responsible citizen of the Republic of Singapore myself, I feel that I have an obligation to share with the rest of the world what exactly is going on behind the scenes of the IMF meeting that is taking place right here in Singapore.
 |
| "Don't fuck with us" | The big issue started when the Singapore government...I mean the policeman chief barred 28 activities from entering Singapore. "We dun let dem in bcos they make many problems in other contries. It's confirm not becos the govment dun like dem. See ar, that guy? Broke into World Bank hq and stole documents u noe??? How to let dis kind of ppl in? You siao ar?!"
To both IMF and the World Bank, that was like a huge "fuck you" statement. Their presidents, obviously open-minded, up-class and educated individuals because they wear suits and ties, told the Singapore government...err policeman chief " Let the damn CSOs in, you filthy narrow minded Asians! We hope you didn't ban them because you didn't like their opinions...oh wait you did! Don't think we don't know, shitface!"
 |
| Police Chief: "We keep you safe" | So the police got edgy and showed 2 poor Filipinos the middle finger to prove their point. And this pissed off the World Bank big time, and some big shot from World Bank said something that roughly equate to " fuck you Singapore". This time the organizing committee for Singapore 2006 got scared and tried to be nice. "We reAlLy cArE FoR tHeIr WeLfArE n SaFeTy LoR, dAt'S WhY wE tRy To PrOtEcT dEm frM DaNgErOuS PpL MAh. Ok LaH, We MiNuS dE NuMbEr oF BaNnEd Ppl FrOm 28 tO 27 lOr."
Amidst all this, Singapore Civil Society Organizations have been given special leeway in making themselves heard. Some bitch from a local CSO decided to pass some smartass remarks to 'support' the government's...err police's stand on barring the activities: "Oh please [rolls eyes], we obviously do not resort to silly tactics like those mongrels banned by the police. Civilized people like us [flicks a finger] don't need to act like gangsters....lor."
 |
| Banned. | I have gotten in touch with local security authorities (like the government...and police) and have managed to get my hands on a top secret document. This document contains information explaining why certain activists are considered "dangerous" and barred from the meeting. Here is a summary of the list of reasons:
- Hair covering ears (men) or below shoulders (women)
- Dyed his/her hair
- Long fingernails
- Wears colorful shoes
- Swears in public
- Owns a handphone
- Disagree with the goverment
- Hasn't bathed in 3 days
Getting this document out into the public will be no easy matter. The police are now hot on my heels, and sending this news update now has considerably increased the risk of my capture. But fear not, as long as I have a single breath left in me, I shall continue to report on the most important meeting this decade that is taking place right here in Singapore.
Signing off from the frontlines,

"Living on the internet, making my business yours." September 12 Salutations, monde! That's "Hello, world!" in French for you English speaking monkeys! So anyway, how have you been today? Actually, I'm not interested, so don't tell me. So anyway, I was thinking just now. And I was reading just now. So anyway, I was thinking while I was reading just now. About what defines being a man. So anyway, keep in mind this article was written 16 years ago. So anyway, local society is approximately 10-20 years behind that of America anyway, which means it's a pretty accurate picture of Singapore today. So anyway, pictures were added for comedy effect.

What Do Men Really Want?
Freud, like everyone else, forgot to ask the second question: What do men really want? His omission may reflect the male fascination with the enigma of woman over the mystery of man. She owns the center of his imagination, while the fate of man works the margins. Perhaps this is why so many men have taken the Mafia oath of silence about their hopes and fears. Strong and silent remain de rigueur.
 |
| Manhood | But in the wake of the feminist movement, some men are beginning to pipe up. In the intimacy of locker rooms and the glare of large men's groups, they are spilling their bile at the incessant criticism, much of it justified, from women about their inadequacies as husbands, lovers, fathers. They are airing their frustration with the limited roles they face today, compared with the multiple options that women seem to have won. Above all, they are groping to redefine themselves on their own terms instead of on the performance standards set by their wives or bosses or family ghosts. “We've heard all the criticism,” says New York City-based television producer Tom Seligson. “Now we'll make our own decisions.”
In many quarters there is anger. “The American man wants his manhood back. Period,” snaps John Wheeler, a Washington environmentalist and former chairman of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund. “New York feminists [a generic term in his lexicon] have been busy castrating American males. They poured this country's testosterone out the window in the 1960s. The men in this country have lost their boldness. To raise your voice these days is a worse offense than urinating in the subway.”
 |
| SNAG | Even more prevalent is exhaustion. “The American man wants to stop running; he wants a few moments of peace,” says poet Robert Bly, one of the gurus of the nascent men's movement in the U.S. “He has a tremendous longing to get down to his own depths. Beneath the turbulence of his daily life is a beautiful crystalline infrastructure” - a kind of male bedrock.
Finally, there is a profound confusion over what it means to be a man today. Men have faced warping changes in role models since the women's movement drove the strong, stoic John Wayne-type in the sunset. Replacing him was a new hero: the hollow-chested, sensitive, New Age man who bawls at Kodak commercials and handles a diaper the way Magic Johnson does a basketball. Enter Alan Alda.
But he, to, is quickly becoming outdated. As we begin the '90s, the zeitgeist has changed again. Now the sensitive male is a wimp and an object of derision to boot. In her song Sensitive New Age Guys, singer Christine Lavin lampoons, “Who carries the baby on his back? Who thinks Shirley MacLaine is on the inside track?” Now it's goodbye, Alan Alda; hello, Mel Gibson, with your sensitive eyes and lethal weapon. Hi there, Arnold Schwarzenegger, the devoted family man with terrific triceps. The new surge of tempered macho is everywhere. Even the male dummies in store windows are getting tougher. Pucci Manikins is producing a more muscular model for the new decade that stands 6 ft. 2 in. instead of 6 ft. and has a 42-in. Chest instead of its previous 40.
 |
| Manhood | What's going on here? Are we looking at a backlash against the pounding men have taken? To some degree, yes. But it's more complicated than that. “The sensitive man was overplayed,” explains Seattle-based lecturer Michael Meade, a colleague of Bly's in the men's movement. “There is no one quality intriguing enough to make a person interesting for a long time.” More important, argues Warren Farrel, author of the 1986 best seller Why Men Are The Way They Are, women liked Alan Alda not because he epitomized the sensitive man but because he was a multimillionaire superstar success who also happened to be sensitive. In short, he met all their performance needs before sensitivity ever entered the picture. “We have never worshiped the soft man,” says Farrell. “If Mel Gibson were a nursery school teacher, women wouldn't want him. Can you imagine a cover of TIME featuring a sensitive musician who drives a cab on the side?”
The women's movement sensitized many men to the problems women face in society and made them examine their own feelings in new ways. But it did not substantially alter what society expects of men. “Nothing fundamental has changed,” says Farrell. Except that both John Wayne and Alan Alda have been discarded on the same cultural garbage heap. “First I learned that an erect cock was politically incorrect,” complains producer Seligson. “Now it's wrong not to have one.”
 |
| SNAG | As always, men are defined by their performance in the workplace. If women don't like their jobs, they can, at least in theory, maintain legitimacy by going home and raising children. Men have no such alternative. “The options are dismal,” says Meade. “You can drop out, which is an abdication of power, or take the whole cloth and lose your soul.” If women have suffered from being sexual objects, men have suffered as success objects, judged by the amount of money they bring home. As one young career woman in Boston puts it, “I don't want a Type A. I want an A-plus.” Chilling words that make Farrell wonder, “Why do we need to earn more than you to be considered worthy of you?”
This imbalance can be brutal for a man whose wife tries life in the corporate world, discovers as men did decades ago that it is no day at the beach, and heads for home, leaving him the sole breadwinner. “We're seeing more of this 'You guys can have it back. It's been real,' ” observes Kyle Pruett, a psychiatrist at the Yale Child Studies Center. “I have never seen a case where it as not increased anxiety for the man.”
 |
| Manhood | There has been a lot of cocktail-party talk about the need for a brave, sensitive man who will stand up to the corporate barons and take time off to watch his son play Peter Pan in his school play, the fast track be damned. This sentiment showed up in a 1989 poll, conducted by Robert Hall International, in which about 45% of men surveyed said they would refuse a promotion rather than miss time at home. But when it comes to trading income for “quality time,” how many fathers will actually be there at the grade-school curtain call?
“Is there a Daddy Track? No,” says Edward Zigler, a Yale psychologist. “The message is that if a man takes paternity leave, he's a very strange person who is not committed to the corporation. It's very bleak.” Says Felice Schwartz, who explored the notion of a Mommy Track in a 1989 article in the Harvard Business Review: “There isn't any forgiveness yet of a man who doesn't really give his all.” So today's working stiff really enjoys no more meaningful options than did his father, the pathetic guy in the gray flannel suit who was pilloried as a professional hamster and an emotional cripple. You're still either a master of the universe or a wimp. It is the cognitive dissonance between the desire for change and the absence of ways to achieve it that has reduced most men who even think about the subject to tapioca.
 |
| SNAG | Robert Rackleff, 47, is one of the rare men who have stepped off the corporate treadmill. Five years ago, after birth of their third child, Rackleff and his wife JoEllen fled New York City, where he was a well-paid corporate speechwriter and she a radio-show producer. They moved to his native Florida, where Rackleff earns a less lavish living as a free-lance writer and helps his wife raise the kids. The drop in income, he acknowledges, “was scary. It put more pressure on me, but I wanted to spend more time with my children,” he says. “Men just aren't doing it. I can still call up most of them at 8 p.m. and know they will be in the office.”
Men have been bombarded with recipes to ripen their personal lives, if not their professional ones. They are now Lamaze-class regulars and can be found in the delivery room for the cosmic event [delivery] instead of pacing the waiting-room floor. They have been instructed to bond with children, wives, colleagues and anyone else they can find. Exactly how remains unclear. Self-help books, like Twinkies, give brief highs and do not begin to address the uneven changes in their lives over the past 20 years. “Men aren't any happier in the '90s than they were in the '50s,” observes Yale psychiatrist Pruett, “but their inner lives tend to be more complex. They are interested in feeling less isolated. They are stunned to find out how rich human relationships are.”
 |
| Manhood | Unfortunately, the men who attempt to explore those riches with the women in their lives often discover that their efforts are not entirely welcome. The same women who complain about male reticence can grow uncomfortable when male secrets and insecurities spill out. Says Rackleff: “I think a lot of women who want a husband to be a typical hardworking breadwinner are scared when he talks about being a sensitive father. I get cynical about that.”
One might be equally cynical about men opening up to other men. Atlanta psychologist Augustus Napier tells of two doctors whose lockers were next to each other in the surgical dressing room of a hospital. For years they talked about sports, money and other safe “male” subjects. Then one of them learned that the other had tried to commit suicide - and had never so much as mentioned the attempt to him. So much for male bonding.
How can men break out of the gender stereotypes? Clearly, there is a need for some male consciousness raising, yet men have nothing to rival the giant grass-roots movement that began razing female stereotypes 25 years ago. There is no male equivalent for the National Organization for Women or Ms. magazine. No role models, other than the usual megabillionaire success objects.
 |
| SNAG | A minute percentage of American males are involved in the handful of organizations whose membership ranges from men who support the feminist movement to angry divorcés meeting to swap gripes about alimony and child-custody battles. There is also a group of mostly well-educated, middle-class men who sporadically participate in a kind of male spiritual quest. Anywhere from Maine to Minnesota, at male-only weekend retreats, they earnestly search for some shard of ancient masculinity culled from their souls by the Industrial Revolution. At these so-called warrior weekends, participants wrestle, beat drums and hold workshops on everything from ecology to divorce and incest. They embrace, and yes, they do cry and confide things they would never dream of saying to their wives and girlfriends. They act out emotions in a safe haven where no one will laugh at them.
At one drumming session in the municipal-arts center of a Boston suburb, about 50 men sit in a huge circle beating on everything from tom-toms to cowbells and sticks. Their age range from the 20s to the 60s. A participant has brought his young son with him. Drummers nod as newcomers appear, sit down and start pounding away. Before long, a strong primal beat emerges that somehow transcends the weirdness of it all. Some men close their eyes and play in a trance. Other rise and dance around the middle of the group, chanting as they move.
 |
| Manhood | One shudders to think what Saturday Night Live would do with these scenes. But there is no smirking among the participants. “When is the last time you danced with another man?” asks Paul, a family man who drove two hours from Connecticut to be there. “It tell you how many walls there are still out there for us.” Los Angeles writer Michael Ventura, who has written extensively about men's issues, acknowedges the obvious: much of this seems pretty bizarre. “Some of it may look silly,” he says. “But if you're afraid of looking silly, everything stops right there. In our society, men have to be contained and sure of themselves. Well f___ that. That's not the way we feel.” The goal, continues Ventura, is to rediscover the mystery of man, a creature capable of strength, spontaneity and adventure. “The male mystery is the part of us that wants to explore, that isn't afraid of the dark, that lights a fire and dances around it.”
One thing is clear: men need the support of other men to change, which is why activities like drumming aren't as dumb as they may look. Even though no words are exchanged, the men at these sessions get something from other men that they earnestly need: understanding and acceptance. “The solitude of men is the most difficult single thing to change,” says Napier. These retreats provide cover for some spiritual reconnaissance too risky to attempt in the company of women. “It's like crying,” says Michael Meade. “Men are afraid that if they start, they'll cry forever.”
 |
| SNAG | Does the search for a lineal sense of masculinity have any relevance to such thorny modern dilemmas as how to balance work and family or how to talk to women? Perhaps. Men have to feel comfortable with themselves before they can successfully confront such issues. This grounding is also critical for riding out the changes in pop culture and ideals. John Wayne and Alan Alda, like violence and passivity, reflect holes in a core that needs fixing. But men can get grounded in many ways, and male retreats provide just one stylized option, though not one necessarily destined to attract most American men.
What do men really want? To define themselves on their own terms, just as women began to do a couple of decades ago. “Would a women's group ask men if it was O.K. to feel a certain way?” asks Jerry Johnson, host of the San Francisco-based KCBS radio talk show Man to Man. “No way. We're still looking for approval from women for changes, and we need to get it from the male camp.”
That's the point. And it does not have to come at women's expense. “It is stupid to conclude that the empowerment of women means the disempowerment of men,” says Robert Moore, a psychoanalyst at C.G. Jung Institute in Chicago. “Men must also feel good about being male.” Men would do well, in fact, to invite women into their lives to participate in these changes. It's no fun to face them alone. But if women can't or won't, men must act on their own and damn the torpedoes. No pain, no gain.
Verdict:

| "OMGWTFBBQ i r th3 win! w00t!!!11one" - John Wayne |
So anyway, judgement has been passed. I still love women. And I'm no gh3y. By the way. September 09 I did not intend to revisit the United States, nor can I say what power has transported my spirit hither. I must speculate that my presence here implies a responsibilities related to the one I assumed more than 160 years ago, when I spent nine months traveling in this country. I was 26, and the nation had enjoyed barely 50 years of independence. America impressed me as a place where the experiment in Democracy, the social revolution that so agitated my contemporaries, was being most peaceably and generally conducted.
The mother ship grounded to a halt, and I stepped off into the thick wind laced with a sweet scent of orange blossoms and dates. The scent of freedom. "People..." That was my first thought. Unless you consider "freedom" the first, then it would've been my second. How about including "scents"..? That would mean it was the third. Alas, I'm lollygagging...

I make cameras for the US of A! kekekeke ^_^; | People...they were everywhere. As it had been almost two centuries ago, Americans rule planet Earth today. And as much as it had been in the times of SittingBullSquawkingEagle as it is now, Americans have had their share of problems. This great and verdant land is not perfect. I don't expect any disagreement from that and I don't think anyone will find it a startling revelation. Homosexuals, single moms, political hypocricy, slant-eyed Japanese, the internet, and New York, all of which constituted in some ways to the degeneration of this Great Western Eden.
After two centuries of absence, I was not about to nitpick like I did in the past. Yes the tomahawks and arrows did butcher their share of Colts, but in the end the white settlers won by sheer numbers anyway. Final score: Rednecks 865464342 - 14 Featherheads. War was a cruel affair, but colonization was decidedly funnier. Lord Canaveronia Aimineria sent me to Earth with the terse words: "Go! Go a yonder and bring forth good news!" As the Fleet Commander of the 497th Cosmic Recon Division, I will not fail.
Let us now turn our attention to the Commander's Report resting on my lap, and focus on the quite nice aspects of the United States.

ATOMIC BOMB
 |
| Afghanistan: 2060 | Since the Scientific Revolution of the 17th Earth century, Western societies have been vastly and ceaselessly transformed by scientific and technological knowledge. America's euphoric awe of science began to ebb with the Pandoran gift to mankind in the form of the atomic bomb. Like about 60 years ago, Japan got a bit edgy, and Harry Truman did his "We will continue to use it until we completely destroy Japan's power to make war" warcry and bombed the Japs back into their caves. This, of course, saved the world.
60 years later, bin Laden waltzed into the picture, and George W. "Bush" Bush was like "living my dad's dreams" and opened a can of whoop-ass on Afghanistan and Iraq. And he said "We will continue to use it until we completely destroy Al Qaeda's power to make annoying and illegible propagandas about how God is great". I am not certain what he meant by "it", and chances are he didn't either, but I'm going to put my money on "Atomic Bomb", or some other thing that explodes.
LSD
 |
| Ticket to Heaven | Most Americans today believed that the drug culture was a recent phenomenon, dating from the late 1960s Earth Year, when LSD, marijuana, and other substances came into widespread use. Through careful study and frequent anal probe, we have shown, though, that drug use (including alcohol) has been prevalent in the United States from the beginning of the republic, and certainly that the use of natural drugs as medicine is an ancient practice. The difference between illegal substance abusers today and the medicine men of yester-years is that, while druggies are sent into rehabs, the latter gradually evolved and left the swamps to carefully prepared habitats known as "reservations".
Lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD, was invented by Uncle Sam to help millions of Americans connect with God through fantastic revelations, visions and experiences. Fasting and flagellation, sensory deprivation and repetitive prayer, may indeed have produced chemical or metabolic changes as preconditions of samadhi, satori, or the beatific vision. But why go through all that hassle when all you really need is a hundred micrograms of C20H25N3O? Heck, for a bonus you'll even get to see heaven in rainbow psychedelic colors.
TELEVISION
In the early 20th century, American children learned their life lessons from radio serials like "The Shadow," "The Phantom" and "The Insubstantial Hero." Radio fell by the wayside in the latter half of the 20th century and by the dawn of the 21st century their offspring were lucky to learn anything that didn't come out of either a TV set or a bare electrical outlet. With the growth of the broadcast networks, one thing remained clear: whether it's just three channels or 400 channels of people eating bugs for money, television represents the most befuddling development in The America Revolutions.

Through our patented research methods using "TV", we have ascertained that these ingenious people are bothered by many plagues. When distress appears, the person moves in ten (or so) quick, jerky motions and booms: "No headache is going to make me yell at my son!" Thereupon the victim takes a miraculous white tablet, which dissolves in the stomach faster than another tablet. Just 3.1 seconds later, this incredible pill enables the victim to change his outlook and handle the most difficult household chores with ease. Other tablets simultaneously drain all eight sinus cavities, rearrange the background music and style the hair in 3.2 seconds.

| "E=MC²...okay!" | It's a well known fact that I never impose the details of how I've lived my life as a failed human being onto the rest of the world in the form of a blog. The "blogosphere", "blogoquarium", and "blogozoo" have enough blood thirsty pirates going at each others' throats; too many idiots, too little Internet.
Today will be different. Today I will share with the Internet that I am, in fact, as smart as, if not smarter than, Einstein. See how I insert 4 commas into a seemingly short sentence? That's how smart I am. So you dipshits, open your bloody eyes and read:
Are you in the top 2% of intelligent people? Solve the riddle and find out. There are no tricks, just logic.
In a street there are 5 houses painted 5 different colours. In each house lives a person of a different nationality. The 5 homeowners each drinks a different beverage, smokes a different brand of cigarettes and keeps a different pet. The question: Who owns the fish?
Hints: 1. The Brit lives in a red house 2. The Swede has a dog 3. The Dane drinks tea 4. The Green house is on the left of the White house 5. The owner of the Green house drinks coffee 6. The person who smokes Pall Mall has birds 7. The owner of the Yellow house smokes Dunhill's 8. The man living in the centre house drinks milk 9. The Norwegian lives in the first house 10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who has cats 11. The man who has horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill's 12. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer 13. The German smokes Prince 14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house 15. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbour who drinks water
Albert Einstein wrote this riddle in the early 20th century. He said that 98% of the population would not be able to solve it.

If you're an utterly mindless idiot, which I suspect you are, you will click here for the answer. My answer. Go on, you know you want to.
Sorry, it's here... My god, I impress myself everyday. August 29 Heya you debilitated, diseased, feeble and sickly bunch of handicaps. The regular dude who writes his shit here hasn't been around for a while. Intriguing speculations and conspiracy theories proliferate: he was beamed up by UFOs; he got lost in the Orchard Road Labyrinth; he fell asleep and forgot his alarm clock; he did that thing Jackie Chan did in Rush Hour 2, whatever "that thing" is.
Nah. He's too caught up feeling...
...elated!!
Oh, he's also busy ghostbusting, but technical difficulties have been retarding that little bit of adventure.

July 23 It is a widely and wildly accepted fact that I, Mike, am the Internet Guru. Not just any Internet Guru. The. If you think otherwise, then clearly you are wrong, I am right, and your mother is Martha Stewart. It is therefore a popular notion that Mike knows everything about the Internet, and is an Indian who wears a turban. I've to admit I honestly do not know everything about the Internet, and consequently only half the notion held truth.

The Internet is often likened to deep space: unknown, enigmatic, very deep, and very spacious. Filled with knowledge, pornography, and ugly people who become beautiful by some magical internet powers, it is an information superhighway where new ideas blossom and homosexuals flourish. With so much traffic on this highway, establishing facts or myths can be a herculean task. I have spent the good half of my life travelling this universe - the other half was spent in prison raped by a Chinese named Tup Sum Bong - and so I am the best man to serve as your guide today. Let us now take an educated look at this mystical digital realm.

# WOMEN SMOKERS EXPLOITED - FACT
 |
U-G-L-Y you ain't got no alibi Your ugly, hey hey! Your ugly! |
In any case, here are some excerpts from the article (assuming you're lazy or don't know how to click):
-
"Most smokers have little notion of their brand's tar and nicotine levels," the report stated. "Perception is more important than reality, and in this case, the perception is of reduced tobacco consumption."
-
However, "of concern was the increase in the proportion of young women aged 18 to 29 who were daily smokers. It rose from 5.2 per cent in 1998 to 6.6 per cent last year", said Dr Alan Ng Wei Keong.
-
"All the hip people are seen with a cigarette in their hands," said Wu [graphic artist]. "So, you hope that you can look as cool as them with the help of a cigarette. You start off by holding one (cigarette), and then you wonder, why not light it and smoke it? Before you know it, you are hooked."
-
But smokers think that they can quit the habit just as easily as they took it up, he [Dr Ng] said.
"That's when they realise that it is not as easy to shake the habit off," he said. What's in a puff? Cigarette smoke is a complex cocktail of potent substances. There are over 4,000 harmful chemicals in each cigarette.
Ok this is obviously not funny shit, but I thought I'd start off serious before moving on to something more trifling.
# THERE ARE MANY PERVERTS ON THE INTERNET - MYTH

| Moo! |
The following clips have been added to the sites animal mating PC compatible DVD, New deer mating clip added to Other section. Two mating dog clip added to dog section. Removed some non mating clips from the tiger section and added 5 new tiger clips. Donkey clip added to natural horse mating section. New mating horse, camel and pig pictures. Three new natural horse mating clips. One clip added to the assisted horse mating section. Elephant mating clip added.

Those how have ordered the DVD in the last few weeks will already have these clips. Not a link just these pics.
The site is okay to go to for a glance but I wouldn't click any of the links on there. The FBI needs to arrest somebody for this.
# ZIDANE IS A CANNIBALISTIC SAVAGE - FACT
Take a look at this secret footage that was secretly removed during the secret live telecast:
You have been a naughty boy, Zinedine Zidane! That was clearly a red card offence for having poor culinary taste. Tsk tsk. Take a look at other secret footages.
# ANYTHING CAN BE ART. IT IS SUBJECTIVE AND REQUIRES TALENT. - BULLSHIT
"A collective artwork, international, open to all, universal. PARTICIPATE!"
I am so sick of people explaining to me what their ideas of art is. The world of modern arts is full of morons who come up with bizarre and ludicrous ways to antagonize the general public in the name of "art". When criticized, these same idiots simply fall back on the cliche that art is meant to challenge people. Case in point: Spermcube.
Having your sperm collected by men with a fetish for doctor uniforms to fill up a 1000-liter glass cube isn't art. It's the precursor to Armageddon. |
Well, there you have it! That wasn't too hard afterall, was it? With the proper knowledge, skills and a broadband connection, even a 12-year old can find good porn on the net these days. July 22 Reality - a chilly and frigid friend.
People are often obsessed about things they cannot hold onto; the harder it is to actualize, the stronger the delusional infatuation. A child cries when the mother refuses to buy his toy - the more reluctant the mother, the louder he wails. And what when the mother gives in..? He realizes he didn't really want the toy afterall. Maybe he wasn't even thinking of the toy to begin with, but blinded by...what? Greed? Contempt? Defiance. What do they call this... Degeneration...more like atrophy. "堕落". Everyone's a victim, it's everywhere. Blindness.
And what of things that come freely? Willingly...voluntarily...unreservedly...
Unconditionally.
"Ah well, I suppose I can get it whenever I want. It's worthless. Pointless. Some other time perhaps," the child says to himself. And he chucks the free toy away. In some obscure corner. Well, McDonald's Happy Meal comes with a free toy all the time anyway. Be happy with the Happy Meal, and the rest is irrelevant.
And what if McDonald's should charge for the cheap plastic? Ah, that might interest the boy. But maybe mommy's too broke now. And he starts wailing... And the cycle continues... But mommy's already broke.
I'm not a great musician. Heck, I'm no musician - at all. Whoever thinks otherwise must've watched too much MTV. I can't play the fiddle, much less the second one. No way.
Humor gets tiresome and drudging after a while. Hello, frigid friend.
July 13 *Beep beep!*..... *Beep beep!*..... *Beep be....* Bang! Crash! Kapoot!
"Fuckin alarm clock...." Captain Jack "Sparrow" Sparrow mumbled to himself. "Next time, I'm gonna get one that doesn't have an alarm..."
Captain Jack "Sparrow" Sparrow looked at his calendar. So, the dream was real. 22nd August 2154...it's his 30th birthday, and 12th year of being a Commando Elite. Behind him, the communications panel transmitter cackles to life. A holographic body of a man visualizes, wavering briefly. "Good morning Sparrow! I hope you've had a good rest. With the weather going to shits, your arrival last night must've been pretty rough."
"I'll manage," Captain Jack "Sparrow" Sparrow growled. He loves his growl. It makes him sound more human than monkey. "You have alot of explaining to do now, Colonel Crow. A man do not enjoy being woken up by...no wait, that was the alarm clock. What gives, Colonel?"
 |
"COMMANDO" and "ElitE" are synonymous I dunno what's "CAPCOM" |
Colonel Russell "Crow" Crow is the Commander of Intelligence, Unit 316. A child prodigy of startling intelligence, he took over the intelligence office just after his 14th birthday (some even argue during). He is so smart, he once wore a shoe over his head and walked upside down. The upper echlons were mightily impressed by his mental dexterity.
"You have work to do. We've received word that the notorious pirate Captain "Raven" Raven has just landed on the Philippines. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to find her camp, infiltrate it, and destroy the central tower. Ok, you don't really have a choice. Haha. Neither do we know why you must destroy the central tower, but that is of no concern to you. This message will self destruct in 5 seconds....... OOOMMMFF!! OW! OUSH! GOD DAGGID MY MOUF! FUGGG oomph..."
Colonel Russell "Crow" Crow never failed to impress Captain Jack "Sparrow" Sparrow. This time, he even destroyed his own mouth to keep the message a secret. Some people are just born smart, he thought. Well, time for work. Strapping on his weapons belt, Captain Jack "Sparrow" Sparrow checked his sidearm and custom made rifle - a M203-Carbine-M16A-P90. It's got so many alphabets and numbers that it probably requires someone smart to use it, he realized with a satisfied smile. "I'm gonna add an 'LOL' to the name tomorrow."
 |
| 6 grenades and 4 lives make you invincible! | The Huey flew silently above the Philippines jungles. As he lighted a cigarette, Captain Jack " Sparrow" Sparrow looked over the side and imagined how it feels like to be ostracised from the community ofa nation due to his ethinicity. Irrelevant, yes, but philosophical nonsense keeps him happy. Besides, he's <insert a race you don't like>.
The flight in was pretty dull, 'cept for the time when a bird flew into the rotors and nearly crashed the chopper. The pilot was convinced the bird was actually an enemy missile. "What, just because it has wings and explodes means it's a missile? I once rigged an penguin with some TNT and sent it flying. It still couldn't fly, but it had wings, and it exploded alright. I'm telling you, that was a bird. Not a penguin, perhaps, but a bird alright," chided Captain Jack "Sparrow" Sparrow. Pilots are so stupid, it's no huge wonder they're pilots.
"We're 12 kilos away from the camp, Cap'n. This is as far as I'll bring you. You're alone from here on out. Good luck." With a swift leg motion, the pilot kicked Captain Jack "Sparrow" Sparrow out of the Huey.
"What the fuuuuuccc......" Doink! "Why the hell did you kick me??"
"Because I'm hovering 2 feet above the ground, sir" the pilot explained patiently. "And you were trying to rappel..."
"Haven't you heard of the 2-foot rappel?? ....Neither have I, but still you shouldn't've kicked me, you impundent monkey! I am going to make sure you get punished for this! I am going to make your life hell! I am going to rape your pet rabbit! I'm going to..." His words trailed off as the Huey rises, took a right bank, and exploded when another bird flew into it. This time into the pilot window. "That will teach you for not respecting birds." Captain Jack "Sparrow" Sparrow shouldered his weapon and checked his watch. Time to shoot some pirates.
 |
| Encounter with the plundering kind | The jungles of Philippines is a dangerous place. Full of venomous snakes, poisonous spiders and foot-long cheeseburgers. Captain Jack " Sparrow" Sparrow must constantly be on the alert - a wrong step may mean instant death or a law suit from McDonald's. He loves his McDonald's, and is not prepared to jeopardize that relationship.
Suddenly, unexpectedly, abruptly, and unanticipatedly, two pirates clad in grey appeared from nowhere. Years of training and experience paid off. With lightning reflexes, Captain Jack "Sparrow" Sparrow fired 2 shots; he hit the right pirate between the nostrils with the first. The other ricochet off a tree and landed nicely on the left pirate's buttocks.
"Where is your boss! Speak!" Captain Jack "Sparrow" Sparrow growled in his most un-monkeylike voice.
"Th-Th-That way..." The dying pirate pointed. "H-H-Help me...p-p-please..."
"N-N-No, I shall leave you here so you can b-b-bleed to death. Haha! I am anal like that. Ha! Ha ha! I am such a badass! Get it? Get it?? Badass!!" And with that, Captain Jack "Sparrow" Sparrow left the pirate with a pain in the ass.
 |
| Boss! | Following the bleeding pirate's direction, Captain Jack " Sparrow" Sparrow found Yellow Head (Level 1 Boss). Hiding behind a bunker, Yellow Head sent his minions to take down the elite commando.
"HAHAHA! YOU WILL NEVER GET OUT OF PHILIPPINES ALIVE!", shrieked Yellow Head with a banana in his mouth.
"Oh yeah?" - Bang! - "That's one dead pirate!" - Crack! - "That's another!" - Wam! - "Keep them coming, jackass!"
"Men! What are you doing? Keep attacking!" Yellow Head squawked. He shot a blue cannonball, missed terribly, and set a tree on fire. The fire is blue. It also smelled like wanton mee.
Captain Jack "Sparrow" Sparrow knew time is running out. His ammo is low, his weapon is overheating, and Starbucks 1 for 1 offer is ending. Loading his grenade launcher with a standard HE, he took a quick aim at the bunker. "Pong!" the grenade exited the launcher, whizzed through the air, and disintegrated the bunker. Nothing was left of Yellow Head, his minions, and the banana. Thus, Captain Jack "Sparrow" Sparrow is through to the next part of the mission suddenly, unexpectedly, abruptly, and unanticipatedly.
Time for lunch.

| Commandos smoke. Period. |
Stay tuned for the  ! July 08 A hundred thousand million billion trillion years ago (or so), Earth was born. A hundred million years ago, dinosaurs were born. A hundred thousand years ago, Man was born. Twenty six years ago, I was born. Eight days ago, humanity died.
 |
| Pretty profound word | To the uninitiated and unintelligent, the above may seem like a simple timeline of irrelevant events, or nothing more than an attempt to flaunt my knowledge of the words "billion" and "trillion"...and "dinosaurs". No. Rather, I was trying to accrue to the nexus that humanity is fragile; as fragile as cigarette smoke, literally. If you hadn't noticed, I just did an irony here. I am that good.
I presume everyone and their pet goldfish heard of the recent atrocity committed against smokers. Since when is it acceptable that free willing people allow themselves to be stripped of their freedom; like sheep stripped of their wool, forests stripped of their trees, and hookers stripped of their clothes? I have just about enough of self righteous fools deciding what is best for me, and I have it up to here with those self-annointing non-smoking motherfuckers who think the whole world revolves around them. What, I can't smoke around you because you're a friggin' health nazi? Take a hike, asswipe! Why don't YOU move away?
Lets direct our attention to TWO points. First, there is absolutely NO official medical evidence pointing to the fact that smoking causes cancer [ 1, 2, 3]. Zilch. Nada. Zero. NO. Do some homework. Contrary to what you half-wits have read on so-called "official" medical reports and whitepapers etc, all of them were unable to provide distinct differences between the smoking and control groups. In fact, these "studies" were based primarily on smokers, thus comparative evidence is almost non-existent! They were also unable to repeat the same study on a separate demography of people, hence reliability is a big fat ZERO. The "evidences" were totally inadequate to prove that smokers suffer from cancer because they smoke. It's like saying non-smokers suffer from cancer because they breathe and have sex. If we were to talk about logic, the Japanese, one of the heaviest smoking people in the world, also enjoy the highest longevity. Shouldn't we, then, take up smoking to prolong our lives?
Quit being an ignorant fool. Quit behaving like a pathetic cow being herded mindlessly to the slaughterhouse. Get the fuck off your high horse, grow a brain, and realise they're all propaganda lies. It's the incessant repeating of such lies which convinces people that smoking actually causes cancer. Paul Joseph Goebbles once said, "If repeated often enough, a lie will become a new truth." Paul was the Minister of Propaganda, of Nazi Germany.
 |
Even if we're "killing" ourselves, we're still a helluva lot cooler than you | Second: for the sake of argument, let us assume that smoking is the main cause of cancer. Hell, lets even assume that it's the ONLY cause for every single form of cancer: lung, throat, cervical, prostate, eyebrows, toenails. Well look here, fucktard. If I wanna smoke myself to death, guess what? It's my fucking business. Who the fuck are you? My mom? My wife? Jesus Christ? I don't need you to come along and stick your opinons up my ass. Who are you to tell me what I can or cannot do? Am I dumb like you? Am I the mindless sheep like you? Am I Osama bin Laden like you? Wake up.
Here's a quote from the Channel NewsAsia article that really broke the camel's back: "I think it's good. I think smokers should always go to one corner and not invade my air space," said another [coffeeshop customer]. What the fuck?? Smokers should go to a one corner? Not invade YOUR air space? Why don't you go to a corner and hide your ugly face? Even better, why don't you just end your miserable life, you pimple-faced monkey? And what was that? Your air space? Last I checked, air was free for all, dipshit. Why don't you stop invading humanity with your inferior genes, and let us superior men work our magic? Fuck, I swear I hate Singaporeans. This is the kind of fucked up, self-righteous Singaporean attitude that's giving us a bad name. Four days ago was the 25th Independence Day of my life, and I'm still stuck in bloody Singapore!! Cannot take it!
 |
| Sign a postcard for human rights...what? | Have you ever come across one of those Stinkaporeans who'll give you a dirty look and fan the air in front of his/her bloody nose (like that's gonna work, moron) just cus you're smoking around him/her? Fuck, where are these people from? Jackass Island? The way I see it, if someone's smoking around me and I get offended, I can either approach the person and ask him nicely to blow the smoke somewhere else, or I CAN JUST WALK AWAY. God dammit, legs were invented for a reason. Why do these people need to get all anal about it?
Just a sidenote. Don't blame others if you're too much of a pussy to:
- realise not every tiny thing in the world kills you
- smoke
- tolerate smoke
- ask someone to move away politely
- move yourself away politely
- talk to someone bigger than you
- talk to someone smarter than you
- agree with everything I said
- dig your nose in public
Many Singaporeans think just because they have "human rights", they can rob the rights of others. You think only your "human rights" are important and appropriate, and everyone else's should be subjugated by your self-importance? What a bloody hypocrite! Get off your high horse already. What happened to the "gracious" society we're supposed to be building? Gracious Singaporean... HAHAHAHAHAHA now that's a good one. Sorry, never heard of one.
I think it's about time the government wake the hell up and educate blah blah blah blah...wait, hey look! Here's a pencil, it's something that cares more than I do. I just want to graduate AND GET THE FUCK OUT OF STINKAPORE!!!
Me > Batman + Superman. I am so cool:

10:24 pm |
Sad Man went for a drink at Paulaner's (@ Millenium Walk) with 5 other friends. Felt terrible and sad for not winning the dragonboat race. It was so DAMN CLOSE!!! WHY??? ARGHHHHHH.....
Fuck. |
|
12:00 am |
3 friends left leaving Sad Man with 2 other friends. 3 friends started talking about sad stories (as usual) and one angry story (FUCK!) Sad Man wondered if he was sad enough to be able to cry.
No. Just pissed. |
|
2:23 am |
2 friends wanted to leave. Sad Man made the mistake of saying he's going to quit smoking. Decided to spend the night at Dhoby Gaut Station to take the first train home. Save money. He's a cheapskate. |
|
2:31 am |
 |
| Sweet new flava | Sad Man went to Marina Square 7-11 to buy a pack of fags (ok, quit after this pack), a cup noodle, and a Snickers bar. Sat outside 7-11 and finished up his cup noodle. Melancholic. Lighted a fag.
*Sidenote: Dunhill Luxe is really orangey flavor. Description behind the box: "A smooth taste finishes with luxurious tones of warm spice, tangerine and the slightest hint of mint. Blended with a twist of refreshment." Very yummy. |
|
2:52 am |
Started to walk slowly to Dhoby Gaut Station. Lighted a fag. There were no cars on the roads. Sad Man felt good to be able to walk in the middle of the main roads in the city area. Cheap thrill. Well, not like he's not done this before. Just recently, too... |
|
3:14 am |
Reached Dhoby Gaut. Lighted a fag. Fell asleep at the bus stop outside the station - hugging his paddle, with his bag as pillow.
Sad case. |
|
4:48 am |
Started pouring torrents of rain all of a sudden!!! Woke up half drenched and dazed. Thunder and lightning. It wasn't raining. It was God pissing down at him.
"nah beh....." |
|
4:50 am |
Got his stuff and sat under the station shelter. Wet, cold and shivering. Lighted a fag. Realised he'd lost his bottle. Oh no! Wondered if he was sad enough to be able to cry now.
No. |
|
5:08 am |
Decided to go back to look for his bottle. Maybe at Paulaner's or 7-11 or toilet near 7-11. Rain started to die down to a drizzle. Wind was howling. Checked the bus stop info board. 36 goes to Suntec opposite Paulaner's. Board said it'll reach at 5:40. Fuck it, might as well walk. |
|
5:11 am |
Started walking back in the rain. Cold like fuck. Lighted a fag. Wondered if he was sad enough to be able to cry now.
No. |
|
5:38 am |
Reached Paulaner's. Fuck - Bus 36 just went pass. Fuck x2 - No bottle there. |
|
5:40 am -
6:01 am |
Reached 7-11. Asked the indian 7-11 guy if he'd seen a black bottle.
Sad Man: 'Scuse me, sorry did you see a black water bottle..?
7-11 Guy: Oh ya got ar! Like mineral bottle right? Oh sorry ar, I thought customer leave here nobody want, so I throw away ar. Sorry ar.
Sad Man: (Confused. "Mineral bottle"?) Oh erm...where did you throw?
7-11 Guy: Throw in the black plastic bag into the rubbish dump ar. Sorry ar.
Sad Man: It's ok. You sure it's a black bottle like this? (makes hand gestures describing the shape) Round round one? Where's the rubbish dump? I go find myself.
7-11 Guy: (makes hand gestures to give lousy directions) You go out ar, turn right, then turn right ar. Go straight can see already ar.
Sad Man: Ok ok thanks ("nah beh...need to dig rubbish dump")
Sad Man followed the directions and found a garbage dump. Not just any garbage dump, but an industrial size one! Dug through one trash bag. The smell was unbearable. It's smelt like when the garbage truck drove through his home, only now that instead of standing at the side covering his nose, he's standing right inside the hole. Then it hit him: strangely, none of the bags were black. They were all white.
"Fuck la...he confirm this one or not..."
Just then, a man walked out from inside the dump, surprised to see someone sieving through the rubbish. Dig this: A man, 6 o'clock in the morning, walked out from inside a rubbish dump in which Sad Man was digging.
Sad Man: (sheepish grin) 'Scuse me...erm...do you know if 7-11 throw their rubbish here? (completely stupid question, but he was desperate, tired, and not thinking straight)
Rubbish Man: Oh not here la. Behind. Behind got another rubbish dump la.
Sad Man: (taken aback that such a dumb question actually has an answer) Oh! Where ar? Which direction?
Rubbish Man: You see that stairs? Go up, walk along the road, turn right walk straight you can see liao. (prove that chinese can give much better directions)
Sad Man: Wah, ok ok thanks alot!
Rubbish Man: Why? Lost something inside ar?
Sad Man: Yah la...sian.
Rubbish Man: Haha good luck la.
Lighted a fag and followed his directions with renewed vigor. Fate hadn't been all that bad to him. It sent him a garbageman from nowhere with an answer to a strange question. Sad Man told himself he must have faith. If he manages to find his bottle, it would mean something good is finally going to happen in his life. Haha so silly.
Found the next identical rubbish dump. All black trash bags. Opened one bag. All rotting burgers, mayonnaise and other crap from MacDonalds. Second bag...third bag...seventh bag, ALL ROTTEN SHIT FROM MACDONALDS!! He poured out everything but found NO BOTTLE!! Only rotting, slimy, gluey, grummy, stinking rubbish! SEVEN BAGS! Nah beh.....!! Sad Man walked back to 7-11 with his hands smelling like <insert explicit adjective>.
Sad Man: 'Scuse me, are you sure you throw away a black water bottle like this (makes more hand gestures to describe the shape of the bottle)
7-11 Guy: Ya ar, black water bottle. Like mineral waterbottle ar. I throw away already ar.
Sad Man: You sure it's round like that? (makes more hand gestures) You threw it away yourself? Confirm?
7-11 Guy: Ya ar, I throw away already. Dunno whose ar. I asked the people outside just now but they say dunno whose ar.
Sad Man: (stood there half-dazed)
7-11 Guy: Oh wait ar. I help you check again. (walks to the rubbish bin inside the shop and digs around) Oh here ar! Aiyah I haven't throw away ar! Sorry ar!
Sad Man: (half delighted half royally pissed) Ok ok! Thanks thanks! (thanks for nothing, you fucking moron! No wonder you work in a 7-11, asswipe! Why don't you just slit your own throat, fucker!)
7-11 Guy: Why so important ar? Girlfriend's ar?
Sad Man: No la. Just important to me. (if it's his girlfriend's, he'd still be at the dump, knee deep in rubbish) Can I borrow your tap? Thanks... |
|
6:02 am |
Sad Man started walking back to Dhoby Gaut with his hands smelling like <insert slightly less explicit adjective> and feeling really down. Blisters on his feet, abrasions everywhere, wet clothes..."nah beh.." Lighted a fag and decided that he must write an article to remember this very sad day (or night...or whatever). He missed a turn, and had to walk through NAFA instead. Middle Road. Reminiscenced about old times. Wondered if he is sad enough to be able to cry now.
Maybe. |
|
6:27 am |
Reached Dhoby Gaut Station. Waited for the train with whole body smelling like trash. Boarded the train at 6:34 am |
|
6:56 am |
Sad Man's second sis boarded the train at Kovan Station on her way to work. Haha! What a surprise! Sad Man told his sister about his sad day (or night...or whatever). Sister laughed.
"Very funny meh?" |
|
7:01 am |
Exited Buangkok Station. Ahh the smell of fresh morning air. Fresh morning air always reminds Sad Man of his time in the army, in the middle of some unknown jungle. He felt slight better now, but his hands were still smelling like <more explicit adjectives). Lighted a fag to rid the smell. |
|
8:22 - 9:16 am |
Reached home, taken his bath, and ate something. Started writing his silly article while lighting a fag. 8 trash bags and 9 cigarettes later, the fucking day (or night...or whatever) ended. |
|
9:17 am |
Hit the sack with his fingers smelling like normal cigarette fumes again. |
"wadever....lame chop...."
 |
The Culprit How the fuck does this look like a mineral waterbottle, I don't know | June 30 A couple days ago I was taking my rocket out for a ride when I somehow crash landed on a rather discomfitting Channel NewsAsia article. It grabbed my balls by surprised, because seriously, with a heading like "Your father in you", your balls will be surprised.
 |
See son, it usually starts with holding hands |
After a few awkward minutes of stunned silence trying to visualize "my dad in me", I plucked up enough courage and managed to read through the piece of flapdoodle. It appears that some experts out there have very different opinions about how fathers today should behave, and what kind of relationship (if any) should exist between a father and his child.
Evidently, these experts live in the zoo - but hey, don't let me be the judge. Being the open-minded, free-thinking individual as I obviously am, I'm a firm proponent to the fact that everyone has an opinion worth listening. Let us now cut the crap and learn to appreciate the finer details of fatherhood:
|
# UNDERSTAND YOUR "TYPE"
"In his book, he (Stephan Poulter) lists five styles of fathers — super-achieving, time-bomb, passive, absent and compassionate/mentor — who are influential in the careers of their children.
Children of the "time-bomb" father, for example, who explodes in anger at his family, learn how to read people and their moods. These discerning abilities make them good at jobs such as personnel managers or negotiators, he wrote in his book
But those same children may have trouble developing trust and feeling safe."
Based on the above "time-bomb" example, we can conclude:
 |
| Tick Tock Boom! |
- Kids of super-achieving dads will learn how to avoid extra chores and skive at work whenever there's an opportunity. These survival skills make them excellent soldiers and policemen.
However, these children may also kill themselves before 40 and die a virgin.
- Passive dads have active kids. Lets face it: when the dad does nothing but eats, sleeps, and fucks the mom at home, it is up to the child to change the lightbulb and fix the toilet. He will make a great househusband, and his independence might one day propel him to become the president.
Or disgruntled, depressed, and grossly overweight.
- Children whose dad is always absent will not know what it takes to be a father. Therefore, they will not grow up to be the abusive, drug taking alcoholic their dad might've been. The boys will make great husbands and dads themselves one day.
The girls will become over-expecting bitches.
- If you're a compassionate dad, your children will learn to show love and care to everyone around them. They will be sensitive and tolerant to differences, which makes them ideal social workers and teachers.
Gays have compassionate dads. Hippies too.
# PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE OBVIOUS
"'But we do know that fathers act as role models and the affirmation of a father can mean the whole world to a child,' commented Dr Ken Ung, consultant psychiatrist and psychotherapist, Adam Road Hospital"
We also know Al Qaeda is responsible for 9/11, the Lochness monster exists, your girlfriend is cheating with your best friend, and Michael Jackson actually loves children.
*salutes Captain Obvious*
# SOMETIMES, A FATHER HAS OTHER "ROLES" TO PLAY
 |
One of many roles a good father has to play: "The Disciplinarian" | "If a child misses out on a male role model, he or she loses a little of what it means to have a relationship with a male figure in life, unless of course alternatives such as a stepfather, grandfather or even teachers can step in and fulfil that role, said Dr Daniel Fung, consultant psychiatrist and deputy chief at the department of child and adolescent psychiatry, Institute of Mental Health.
"For a boy, they miss out on who they would become later in life: What it means to be a man and a father to their own children later on. For a girl, a missing father or father figure means they lose out on discovering the type of men they will relate to later on in their lives," he said."
A fatherless child, gender not withstanding, will be unable to love another man. Of course, stepfathers, grandfathers (if they're still virile), and increasingly teachers may step into the shoes of the father, but nothing beats true incest love. Without proper daddy amorousness, boys will turn into dimwits who are clueless about what it takes to be a man. They will not even know what the penis is for, other than it leaks when they're sleeping, or stiffen when they're in close vicinity of another penis. This is where the whole "Your father in you" comes in.
As for the girls, losing the chance to have sex with their fathers means they will never find the perfect wife-beating man.
# IF YOU'RE ALWAYS ABSENT, YOU GET GAY KIDS
"In many sexual identity disorder cases Dr Ung sees during his clinical practice, often the fathers were not present in the lives of these patients — either physically, emotionally or psychologically."
Ok, there may be some validity in this. The only presence my dad had in my life was "monetarily", and if by being overly obsessed with my identity as a real man means having a "sexual identity disorder", then cuff me up and pour honey on me.
 |
All arrows point to "You are an idiot" | Oh wait, were you lost in my sarcasm? Silly me, I forgot you're an idiot; here's a compass. Lets be realistic: the only reason for gays to exist involves a monumental itch in the butt. Heck, homos can't even be seriously categorized as human beings. All they're interested in is to fuck. Like hamsters. To blame lousy dads for these cretins' fascination of sticking foreign objects up their assholes is like blaming my mom for making me so majestically attractive; there may be some truth to it, but it's still gorked.
Dr Ung was obviously trying to justify something. I bet Dr Ung is gay. Fuck it, he has a gay name.
# DO NOT ATTACK YOUR CHILD WITH YOUR WIFE. TAKE TURNS AND ENJOY.
"Having said that, the father's presence is important as a "back up" or an "insurance policy", as children need at least one parent's affirmation, preferably both of course, to thrive.
So if the mother is absent, either physically or emotionally, the father's presence to affirm and nurture is very important.
Many of Dr Ung's patients with borderline personality disorder — they are prone to depression, mood swings, being impulsive and volatile — bear this out. He said: "I can trace this back to the lack of any parental involvement. When the child is criticised or attacked by one parent, the other is not there to step in and protect or undo the damage."
The next time you see your wife beating your child, get ready to back her up because once she tires out, you must step in as an "insurance policy". Avoid assaulting your son together with your wife. When it's her turn, be ready to step in and undo the damage by rubbing salt in his wounds - literally. Watch him jump and laugh. Remember: your presence to affirm and nurture can only be felt with the end of your belt.
If your son develops "borderline personality disorder" AKA "becomes a nut", don't blame yourself. You've done your best, but unfortunately fate has dealt a cruel hand and given you a weak son. Depression, mood swings, impulsive and volatile...damn, your son is gay.
# SPEND MORE TIME WITH (AND INSIDE) YOUR KIDS
"All said and done, fathers in this generation seem to be taking their fathering roles more seriously compared to fathers in the 1970s, according to research commissioned by the Equal Opportunities Commission.
The research found that the amount of time fathers spent with their kids increased from less than 15 minutes a day in the 1970s to about two hours by the late 1990s.
So long as this trend continues, that's good news."
Whoever did this research has very dubious ideas of what substantiate as "good news". There is clearly an increase in homosexual activity from the 1970s to the 1990s, and into the 21st century. You don't need to be Einstein to put 2 and 2 together: spending too much time with your kids turns them into gay. So long as this trend continues, the planet will be destroyed by AIDS and other STDs, but Dr Ung here will be a happy puppy.
Hell, the moment my son is born, I'm sending him away. For his protection.
# INCEST SEX > PREMARITAL SEX
"Adolescent females between the ages of 15 and 19 years raised in homes without fathers are significantly more likely to engage in premarital sex than adolescent females raised in homes with both a mother and a father."
Also, adolescent females between the ages of 7 and 15 years raised in homes with fathers are significantly more likely to be victims of incest rape. |
I've had just about enough of weaklings blaming their condition on just about anything but themselves. So you have a lousy father. Just too bad! We all have lousy fathers, but do we all develop mental problems or sexual identity disorders? If you can't handle reality, I suggest rat poison.
Absurd. June 22 Hello boys and girls, I am Wolverine. You can call me Logan if we are on very affectionate terms. Boys only. As you can see, I am a very powerful superhero, and what I lack in willpower, I make it up with my amazing speed. I once did a wedgie on Colossus without him even knowing it. Cyclops told me he's just dumb. Cyclops is jealous.

| I need to work on my willpower |
I'm so excited! I just started blogging yesterday. Iceman introduced it to me, actually. He has many nice pictures on his blog. Storm told him once that he's a photowhore. Storm was frozen for a day. I like the idea of blogging. The idea of imposing every tiny detail of my everyday life onto the rest of the world gives me a boner. This is important because I am a very important superhero.
I have this great personal profile with a nice picture of myself. Every blogger has one, but mine's the best. How do you like my mask? It's cool huh? Makes you think there is fire shooting out of my eyes. Of course that isn't true, silly! If my eyes are on fire, it will be very uncomfortable indeed. Go blind? Don't make me laugh. Can't you see I have "quick healing through cell regeneration"? I'm sorry I couldn't tell you where I was born. It appears that having a superacute sense of smell took away a large part of my memory. All I can remember is the smell of duck droppings.
So anyway, me and my friends went to the mall today. We haven't had alot of time to ourselves recently, so this was a nice break from fighting the evil Fag-neto. Nightcrawler was learning to bake, and needed lots of eggs. I'm not going to eat his cake. Nobody wants hair in his cake.

These are my friends. I know they look strange and scary, but deep inside they're alright. |
 |
Good thing I have lightning fast reflexes, the bastard | We got lost while we were on our way. I think we've been hiding in our secret hideout under Compasspoint for too long. Iceman blasted open a path using his mutant ice power. Those white round things nearly took my head off. Damn him. Tomorrow I will pour anti freeze on him. *Teeheehee giggles giggles*
The people (  )were really rude. They were either knocking into, or shooting at, us. The moment we entered the mall, we were attacked by at least 5 ruffians who hurled oranges at our general direction. They never stop, but the aiming was meagre. I find it suspicious and unsettling that the oranges exploded whenever they hit something, but Nightcrawler tasted one and was sure they were oranges. I think everything tastes like oranges to Nightcrawler.
Colossus forgot the shopping list. We never should have trusted him with it - that tin can has absolutely zero memory to speak of. The other time he read some funny shit somewhere, and started jumping around with delight. He got stuck between the wall and the wall-fan. I know this is irrelevant, but I was hoping it'll illustrate his hopeless memory. And the fact that he gets stuck in strange places.
So, without the shopping list, we all bought some snacks and headed home. Nightcrawler got his eggs and I rented a DVD "101 Ways A Woman Can Eat Your Heart And Spit It Out". We got lost again, but this time we were smarter. Storm leveled the whole place with a huge thunderstorm so we can see better. Somehow, I think the people have their reasons to be angry with us.
Turned out that the DVD was literally about 101 ways a woman can consume your still-beating heart before regurgitating it. I wish I could tell you more about it, but Cyclops was such a sissy. He fainted 3 minutes into the show and Professor X made us stop... Oops, Iceman needs the computer. He recently got to know a girl from ICQ. Her name is <<_+Cut3Ang3l+_>>, and she "has long hair, blue eyes, a knockout figure, and enjoys outdoor sex". We found out last month that <<_+Cut3Ang3l+_>> is a 46 year old woman with long hair on her back, a prosthetic glass eye, fat enough to knock out Colossus, and the only sex she's been getting was at the animal farm. Nobody's telling Iceman yet. They are supposed to meet up this Saturday. Boy, I can't wait.
