All in good taste...

2011-04-29T11:17:00.001+04:00

A professor was teaching a class at a relatively small mid-western college. The subject this particular class was sugars, types where they were found, etc. When he came to Fructose he mentioned that it is found in many foods and in some places you would not expect to find it such as in semen.

A young lady raised her and asked, “If Fructose is a type of sugar which is sweet and is found in semen then why does semen not taste sweet. A hush fell over the entire class, then the student realized what she had said, she covered her face and started to blush. The professor did not miss a beat. He replied “The reason you do not find semen sweet is because your taste buds are located on the tip of your tongue not the back of your throat”.

The class burst out laughing while the young lady picked up her books and left the class. She did not return rather dropped the course.

The Tempest

2009-12-07T03:50:00.000+04:00

The tempest storms rage
Raining black into the night
As fear takes centre stage
And there’s no end in sight
Velvet shadows stay hidden
The air is moist with fear
The brave are left forbidden
To cry or shed a tear
The wailing wind cries out
For vengeance from the sky
While prayers of the devout
Are whispered in reply
The bolts of light flashes
With thunder’s immediate applause
Now all that remains are ashes
Of all that once was
And as the sky clears
The tempest’s anger must subside
While faces stream bitter tears
That brave hearts cannot hide

Hell Freezes Over

2009-02-26T01:47:00.004+04:00

The following is allegedly an actual question given in a University of Washington chemistry mid-term exam.

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following: First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.

As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their faith, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can reliably project that all souls go to Hell.

With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my freshman year that, "it will be a cold night in Hell before I sleep with you, and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over.

The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls,leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being, which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God!"

(Allegedly this student received the only A.)

I'll Be

2008-08-22T22:39:00.001+04:00

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
And emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive and not dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

And I've dropped out, I've burned up
I fought my way back from the dead
I've tuned in, I've turned on
Remembered the things that you said

I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your

I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

The greatest fan of your whole life

My Mistake

2008-04-29T05:01:00.000+04:00

My mind is clouded
My way is dim
My heart is troubled
I’m restless within
What choice do I make
Which path do I choose
What vows must I break
When there’s nothing to lose
They’re just part of the puzzle
The pieces all the same
No matter the choice
Its all just a game
But what lies ahead
Is too far to see
There’s no turning back
Especially for me
So where do I go
What road do I take
That’s what I don’t know
And that’s my mistake

Torn Inside

2008-01-19T02:23:00.000+04:00

When you feel so torn inside
And storms rage within
When your heart feels like it’s died
And the tide is coming in
When you try so hard to forget
What cannot be forgotten
And hope turns to regret
Because inside you feel rotten
When your happiness is lost
For someone else’s way
Should it be so great a cost
That you should have to pay
When promises are broken
And words turn to dust
What remains is unspoken
Because there’s nothing left to trust

Just another day

2008-01-09T15:21:00.000+04:00

I don’t know where I am going
And I don’t know where I’ll be
All I have is this moment
And what’s in front of me
Tomorrow is another day
But today is already here
But where will tomorrow take me
When today will disappear
Will I stop to wonder?
Or shall I do it in vain
Whether what lies ahead
Is sunshine or rain
But who has these answers
In god we surely trust
For should we speak honestly
Having faith is a must
So let the dices roll
And the cards fall where they may
For what else is tomorrow
But just another day

If I can

2007-12-30T05:00:00.000+04:00

If I can only give you, the gift of warmth and touch
For should you ask for anything more
You’re asking for too much
If I can only give you, laughter in your ear
Instead of those meaningful words
That you would like to hear
If I can only give you, the comfort of my embrace
Instead of the spot in my heart
Where you would like some place
If I can only give you, the reasons why it is so
Instead of letting you wonder
About what you already know
If all I can give you, is meaningless in everyway
Then our worlds are too far apart
For you to have to stay

Apologize

2007-11-18T15:32:00.001+04:00

I’m holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I’m hearing what you say
But I just can’t make you sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down
But wait...
You tell me that you’re sorry
Didn’t think I’d turn around and say..

That it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late

I’d take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
(But that's nothing new)
Yeah yeah

I loved you with a fire red, now it’s turning blue
And you say
Sorry like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I’m afraid

It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
Woahooo woah

It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, yeah yeah
I said it’s too late to apologize, a yeah

I’m holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground...

Broken

2007-09-04T21:01:00.000+04:00

I’m broken, broken inside
I can’t be fixed
So don’t even try
I have nothing to offer
I have nothing to lose
So don’t even bother
It’s easy to choose
Make no mistake
I was never like this
I’m no one’s to take
I have nothing I miss
Because I’m broken, broken inside
There’s nothing to fix
So don’t even try
Words turned to lies
Promises turned to dust
Take a look at my eyes
There’s no one I trust
Because I’m broken, broken inside
There’s nothing to fix
So don’t even try
It’s all a game now
Nothing is real
For whatever happens
There’s nothing to feel
So come what may
Whatever that may be
There’s nothing to say
Because there’s nothing to see
Except that I’m broken, broken inside
There’s nothing to fix
Because there’s nothing inside

The choice

2007-06-30T00:49:00.000+04:00

You never choose love, love chooses you...

Still Remains

2007-05-28T21:19:00.000+04:00

Sometimes whats left after sorrow is indifference... because there doesn't seem to be anything more to look forward to

Moments

2007-04-06T01:41:00.000+04:00

If moments could last forever
If time could stand still
Would those moments still be precious
When there is no until
Would you then cherish these moments
Or let them pass you by
For moments can pass quickly
In just a blink of an eye
That’s why moments don’t last forever
They have their time and place
And therein lies the magic
Of these moments beautiful grace

Love

2007-04-02T23:44:00.000+04:00

Love can leave you bitter
Love can leave you sweet
Love can turn your life around
And leave the world at your feet
Love can leave you happy
Love can leave you sad
Love can leave you speechless
Or give you the voice you never had
But love is never easy
It takes time to build its way
For if love was ever so quick to start
It would end on a rainy day
Love always needs thought
Though its not controlled by the head
For if we always used our heart
It would cloud our minds instead
Love doesn’t last forever
Or so it may certainly seem
Because love can last a lifetime
It depends on how you dream
So should the broken hearted
Have a cause to call their own
For though their love has parted
Their hearts are not of stone
For they feel the pang of love
They’ve felt it make them bleed
They know the price they’ve paid
Could never be agreed
But that’s the way of love
That’s how it likes to flow
For if you want to keep it
You have to let it go

Betrayal

2007-03-26T12:11:00.000+04:00

The sweetest one betrayed me
The one I’d never expect
The one I loved with all my heart
I now lost all respect
My hopes have been shattered
Dashed against the rocks of despair
The pieces of my heart are scattered
My heart is beyond repair
Betrayal with this deepest cut
Leaves you bleeding slow
It sets your mind on fire
You wish you could just let go
But letting go isn’t easy
Its a trial from within
No matter how hard you try
You will never forget this sin

How A Heart Dies

2007-03-25T11:55:00.000+04:00

My dreams are shattered
My strength is spent
My walls have caved in
In darkness I repent
For having hope
And clinging to faith
And believing in love
But now it’s too late
My heart is dead
My tears have dried
My sorrow has drained me
I’m empty inside
My soul is crushed
By cruel fate
What once was love
Now is hate
The empty void
That grows within
Is all that’s left
Where my heart has been
This is why I ache inside
Because promises made turned to lies
This is not how a heart breaks
This is how a heart dies

...

2007-03-24T03:22:00.000+04:00

The only people that can hurt you are the people you love. That cut you receive is the deepest, most painful of them all which can only be given to you by one you trust, one you believe in, one you love. Love...the word seems so painful right now, poison on my lips, choking me with emotions no one should ever have to face. Right now it feels like my insides are tearing up inside me and every breath I take is a painful one. It feels like an ever growing void has decided to form in my chest... just where my heart used to be. I clung to hope for so long, when actually there was none to cling to. The imaginary threads which barely kept my spirits up was a delusion I held on too. And yet with all this going on inside me, all this turmoil, all this pain, my countenance does not convey what I feel. I wear a mask and I wear it so well, that should I look into a mirror I would fool myself into thinking that all is well. But all is not, if I could scream and let out all I feel, the walls would echo with the pain in my cry. Death would be so much kinder than this, its coldness more comforting than the burning agony killing me inside. Why I ask myself, why has my existence have to be plagued with this bitter sorrow, this sorrow which reaches right down to my very soul. If a spirit could be crushed then I'm sure this is what it would feel like. A heart doesn't break like this, it dies like this.

Falling

2007-03-21T23:10:00.000+04:00

I have to bury sorrow and sadness
Deep within me
But will this dam finally burst
And wash away my fragility
With the tears of my desolation
Should I dread to have hope
For it would be the only sustenance
That would allow me to breathe
Without choking on the overwhelming tide of my sorrow
But when all hope is lost what else is left?
Will I be damned to suffer
With this bane of my existence
Will my creed be one of solitude and remorse
For allowing myself to jump into that void of emotion
That leap of faith, where there's no turning back
And I am still falling, falling into this melancholy
Falling into this darkness of oblivion
Where I shall remain till my time passes

True love...

2007-03-02T00:11:00.000+04:00

"True love cannot be found where it does not truly exist, nor can it be hidden where it truly does".

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

My destiny

2007-02-28T04:34:00.000+04:00

Is darkness my destiny
And light only my dream
For through my life's complexity
This is what it may seem
Am I only chasing shadows
Between twilight and day
For what else would matter
When even they go away
Would I go to places
Where angels fear to tread
And darkness is all around
Where light should be instead
When all thats left is a shell
Made empty by a void
That cannot ever be filled
And eventually is destroyed
If this is my bondage
Have I not done my time
What sin have I committed
To endure on this crime
But this is my destiny
Or so it shall seem
Because darkness surrounds me
And light is just a dream

With Or Without You

2007-02-14T20:33:00.000+04:00

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you
With or without you
With or without you
Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you

A poet once said...

2007-02-11T17:51:00.000+04:00

"tomorrow lies another day where one can do things different..."

To look beyond

2006-12-18T20:29:00.000+04:00

To look beyond the clouds of doubt
And see the shining sun
To hope that soon the sun comes out
And sends darkness on the run
To wait for bluer, clearer skies
That comes with beautiful days
That turns saddened frowns to brighter smiles
When you bask in warm golden rays
To see a brighter tomorrow
A happier future ahead
Where darkness, fear and sorrow
Are left behind instead
For when your burden feels lighter
And there’s no darkness to be found
All that’s left is brighter
When there’s happiness all around
Have a little faith and hold on
Hold on with all your might
When your light turns to darkness
And your day turns to night
It won’t last forever
As long as you put up a fight
And when darkness finally leaves you
Everything will be all right

Come back

2006-12-11T22:20:00.000+04:00

My heart's breaking inside
And the only reason why
Is because you're not there anymore
You're the reason I cry
As daylight begins to fade
I feel hope growing dim
There's no escaping darkness
My chances are becoming slim
Why have you left
Where have you gone
When will you return
Its been so long
I need you, I want you
Please come back to me
I miss you, I love you
I hope you're missing me

Far Away

2006-11-17T05:42:00.000+04:00

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there’s just one left
‘Cause you know,
you know, you know

That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you’ll be with me
and you’ll never go
Stop breathing if
I don’t see you anymore

On my knees, I’ll ask
Last chance for one last dance
‘Cause with you, I’d withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I’d give it all
I’d give for us
Give anything but I won’t give up
‘Cause you know,
you know, you know

That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you’ll be with me
and you’ll never go
Stop breathing if
I don’t see you anymore

So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
‘Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
‘Cause I’m not leaving
Hold on to me and
never let me go

Holding on

2006-11-13T18:40:00.000+04:00

I'm falling to pieces, breaking up inside
I can't seem to stop it
No matter how hard I've tried
I'm trying to hold on
It gets harder every day
I need to be strong
I hope help's on the way
I need something to believe in
I need to hold on to faith
My hope is running thin
I hope its not too late
So what can I say now
What else's is left to do
Nobody seems to know
What I'm going through
Every days not better
Things seem to get worse
I know I'm under the weather
When blessings are a curse
But I'm still clinging
Holding on to truth
But will I end up being robbed
Of my sanity and youth

I need you

2006-11-12T05:59:00.000+04:00

I want to hold you in my arms, hold you endlessly
Have your hands in mine and your lips touching me
My heart is yours you already know
So don't go away,don't leave like before
I need you so bad,your the air that I breathe
You've got me in chains,I don't want to be freed
Everything about you from your soul to your touch
Is what I've needed all my life, I need you so much
Don't break these chains,don't let me go
Don't break my heart,because I need you so
I've been walking this path so very long
I've made mistakes on the way,but i'm still carrying on
But I can't walk alone forever, I need you by my side
Let's take this journey together,together side by side

Without you

2006-11-11T08:15:00.000+04:00

I'm so lonely without you
As my heart begins to sink
I'm suffering inside
And I don't know what to think
I miss you saying you love me
I miss you calling out my name
Its driving me a little crazy
Isn't that a crying shame
The air's not as sweet anymore
My laughter seems to fade
Waiting seems like such a sin
When your destiny is not made
All I see now is life just passing me by
No end to growing insecurity
Because time doesn't seem to fly
I hope you come back soon to me
And I pray that when you do
Will you say the words I need to hear
That you also missed me too

Here Without You

2006-11-02T00:01:00.000+04:00

A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don’t think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
They disappear now when I’m dreaming of your face

I’m here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight
It’s only you and me

The miles just keep rolling
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go

I’m here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby
You're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl
It’s only you and me

Everything I know
And anywhere I go
It gets hard but it won’t take away my love
And when the last one falls
When it’s all said and done
It gets hard but it won’t take away my love

I’m here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl
It’s only you and me

My Light

2006-11-01T23:46:00.000+04:00

If you left me without saying goodbye
My heart and soul would forever cry
For you are my happiness and my light
For my world without you would be forever night
My heart would break, and my soul would weep
Because the light of my life I could not keep
Sorrow would fill my empty days
Sadness would be my only gaze
My will,my life,my soul would seem
Lost to the shadows of a shattered dream
So how do I go on with no light to see
How do I live without you with me

Sweetest Sorrow

2006-10-31T00:37:00.000+04:00

Pain is but sweetest sorrow
A knife cutting at your side
Another day is another tomorrow
But from pain we can never hide
It breaks your heart, it haunts your thoughts
It drains your happiness drop by drop
Until all that is and all thats left
Is sweetest sorrow you will never forget
So sorrow as sweet as this is to me
Is sorrow I would lock and throw away the key

Healing

2006-10-24T02:25:00.000+04:00

We sometimes hide the scars we bear
And fear it to be shown
For there are reasons beyond compare
That never should be known
What we fear most is hurting
Going back there again
And happiness keeps deserting
While loneliness becomes your friend
Will we ever learn to adjust
In the world around us now
For after shattered trust
All we can think is how
But time heals us all
Sometimes longer than it seems
It breaks through our walls
It renews our hopes and dreams
So if we take the time, to stop and look around
Happiness can be around the corner
Its just waiting to be found

Broken

2006-10-22T14:54:00.000+04:00

Being together brings us remorse
Shouting forever makes voices hoarse
Hurting each other makes everything worse
Till we reach a point we can't converse
All we do is contend the other's way
What more can be left for each other to say
Pictures we've painted make us upset
Places we've visited are filled with regret
All we keep doing is not seeing eye to eye
Our happiness is turned into tears that we cry
Being together,is never well
It seems like forever,its a living hell
Our issues our plenty, they won't be resolved
Our sins are our actions that can't be absolved
All we have left is hidden dispair
Because what we can't fix, we can never repair

Let me in

2006-10-21T02:19:00.000+04:00

If I can read your mind for a day
And see the thoughts you keep hidden away
Would you share with me what noone knows
And open the locks to these bolted doors
Would you let me in to poke and pry
Would you give me the chance to even try
But letting me in is to take a chance
So would you mind having this dance
And if you did would you be upset
For taking this risk and having regret
For all you're doing is sharing with me
Every thought you think honestly
So think again about what I have said
Before letting me in, into your head

Breathe

2006-10-20T19:35:00.000+04:00

The burden has finally lifted
I can breathe again at last
For I was submerged under waves
Of waters I couldn't get past
Now my heart beats stronger
Beats with the strength I know
That if I have hope and carry on
I'll get to where I need to go
Now that I have weathered these waves
And overcome this overwhelming tide
I can finally breathe again
And release my fear inside
I feel so much lighter
Like a feather in the breeze
Everything seems so much brighter
And I breathe again with ease

Why?

2006-10-19T22:11:00.000+04:00

Why does my fear turn to sadness?
Why does my heart feel so insecure?
Why do doubts tear at my gladness?
And leave tears on my pillow
Why does my heart feel so heavy?
Why does it feel like its about to burst
Why is this feeling my levy?
Why is this sorrow my curse?
Why does my lament of sorrow
Always fall on deaf ears
Why is today just another tomorrow?
Another day of sadness and tears
Why can my heart not be free?
Of such feelings that are so low
Why do they have to bother me?
And never seem to let me go
I pray that they will disappear
And be replaced with better things to come
And never have them reappear
Only then will I have them overcome

The answer

2006-10-18T22:10:00.000+04:00

I call out for an answer
But I get no reply
I’m left again in the dark
And I don’t know the reason why
I wish I knew what was happening
I wish I knew all was well
I wish I had all the answers
That would lead me out of this hell
So what do I do in this moment?
Do I pray that nothing is wrong?
Do I hope and wait for an answer
And pray it doesn’t take long
And when I do get an answer
Will it be one for me?
Will it be one that answers my question?
And sets my worries free

A better thought

2006-10-14T16:10:00.000+04:00

How can a moment hurt you
How can a moment cause you pain
How can a moment desert you
And have tears fall down like rain
How can you be affected
By a deed that is not done
How can you feel so unloved
When the fault lies with none
How can you feel anger
How can you feel dispair
How can you feel all these things
When a problem isn't there
How can these things affect you
When really you have no cause
But when they happen to upset you
Would you stop to think and pause
But therein lies the answer
To the question that is brought
For to conquer all that is felt
One must give it a better thought

Silence

2006-10-13T06:01:00.000+04:00

When I ask my question
Silence greets my sigh
So all thats left is silence
Silence to wonder why
Silence that doubts
Silence that mocks
Silence that wants you to get up and shout
For if I can stop to wonder
And leave my thoughts to rest
Would doubts leave me asunder
When my question is addressed
But all I get is silence
Which adds more to my doubt
Silence which leaves no easy peace
But bitterness in my mouth
And when my call is answered
All I find is a lie
For truth no longer exists
When promises begin to die
So best not to ask a question
And have silence trouble oneself
And expect none in return
For silence will speak for itself

After the dust

2006-10-11T03:35:00.000+04:00

This is how the story goes
The river of life forever flows
People come and people go
They made their choices and left before
Those who wait are those who stay
Those who can't will go away
The special times were in the past
So what is left we'll see if it lasts
There's more to me than meets the eye
And now you begin to wonder why
What answer would you have given by me
One you like or one you can't see
For choices are made,and decisions are bound
And simple truths are seldom found
So all that remains after the dust
Is faith, honour, truth and trust.

This Everyday Love

2006-09-15T23:46:00.000+04:00

Can't get enough of this everyday love
Can't get enough of this everyday love

Each morning the sun shines through my window
Lands on the face of a dream come true
I shuffle to the kitchen for my coffee
And catch up on the front page morning news
Then she walks up behind me and throws her arms around my neck
Just another normal thing I've come to expect

Chorus:
It's ordinary, plain, and simple
Typical, this everyday love
Same ol', same ol' keeping it new
(Same ol'/This everyday love)
Emotional, so familiar
Nothing about it too peculiar
Oh, but I can't get enough of this everyday love

Every afternoon I make a phone call
Listen to the voice that warms my heart
I drag myself through a few more hours
Then head on home to try and beat the dark
Her smile will be right there when I step through that door
And it will be that way tomorrow, just like everyday before

REPEAT CHORUS

Wouldn't change one single thing about it
No, it's run-of-the-mill, still I can't live without it

REPEAT CHORUS

Yeah, of this everyday love
Can't get enough of this everyday love
Can't get enough of this everyday love
Can't get enough of this everyday love
Can't get enough

Faith

2006-08-06T10:20:00.000+04:00

Here's something I borrowed from another blog I came across altbough the author does not mention where this conversation was borrowed from either...
An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty. He asks one of his new Muslim students to stand and.....
Professor: You are a Muslim, aren't you, son?
Student: Yes, sir.
Professor: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Professor: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student: Yes.
Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?
(Student is silent.)
Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student:Yes.
Prof: Is Satan good?
Student: No.
Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From...God...
Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.
Prof: So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)
Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student :Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: No , sir.
Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.
Student: No sir. There isn't.
(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat,white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Student: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light....But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)
Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavour, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class is in uproar.)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it?.....No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student: That is it sir.. The link between man & god is FAITH. That is all that keeps things moving & alive.

Love

2006-08-05T03:49:00.000+04:00

Random love quotes:

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.

Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to If you are not ready to cry, if you are not ready to take a risk, if you are not ready to feel the pain,then you are not ready to fall in love.

You know it's love when you can't fall asleep cause reality is better than your dreams.

The day that I'll die, when death replaces birth, I'll recognize angels' faces, because I live with one on earth. Every moment we share together is even better than the moment before. If every day was as good as today was, then I can't wait until tomorrow comes.

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

Love comes to those who still hope although they've been disappointed- to those who still believe although they've been betrayed, need to love those who still love although they've been hurt.

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real! Hope you dream of that special someone.

Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person, too. A careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a life; a timely word may level stress; a loving word may heal and bless.

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

Love? It's kinda complicated but I'll tell you this...the second you're willing to make someone else happy,that's love right there!

Don't find love, let love find you. That's why it's called falling in love coz you don't force yourself to fall, you just fall.

Every step I took since the moment I could walk was a step toward finding you

Fate exists but it can only take you so far because once you're there it's up to you to make it happen.

and finally...

No woman ever falls in love with a man unless she has a better opinion of him than he deserves.

Truth

2006-08-02T01:00:00.000+04:00

Truth can sometimes be so painful. It can cut you, leaving scars that aren't easily forgotten or don't easily heal. Truth is so powerful in the way it engulfs everything. Truth has no emotion yet the emotions it generates leaves one with no choice but to let these emotions free. There's a saying I've heard 'what you don't know can't hurt you', in other words ignorance is bliss. But we always want to hear the truth no matter how painful it will be. We still desire to know the truth even though deep inside we know that it can hurt us more than we can imagine. Truth is not always bitter though, it can be sweet as well, for just as truth can hurt you, it can save you as well. The question is will you let the truth hurt you or save you. Truth can be both the blade that cuts you and the balm that heals you. Yes, truth is powerful and must be handled with care, for if not then we alone will bear the consequences of using it unwisely.

Hope less

2006-07-10T04:25:00.000+04:00

Should you believe in hope if its going to let you down
Is it just part of life that you have to accept it
Whats the point of it all
Will life eventually defeat you
Will you accept all it offers good and bad
What if the story you thought you saw was not your own
Sure life has its disappointments
But how many do you have to go through
What if your next ticket on that ride called hope
Leads to just another brick wall
Do our fates really lie in our hands
Or is it sealed
Is being numb the only chance you have
At not getting let down
Will you be singing a different tune
If the cards in your hand were different
Does each experience you go through make you better or bitter

Sole Mate

2006-07-05T00:58:00.000+04:00

A friend recently sent me a link which inspired me to write this blog. As per this article "A soul mate is someone who reflects or matches your energy and your path in life. A soul mate is someone whose power and potential are complementary to your own. And you’ll find them in the most unlikely places." I couldn't agree with it more yet it says that potential soul mates are all around you, its when you're with one that you stop looking thus making you unaware of the potential soul mates around you. My question though is why even look when you have already found more than you could possibly want in the person you're with? Why go looking for perfection when you've found it? A soul connection that makes you want no other, a connection so profound that it does not limit itself to distance, time or proximity. A connection where you can feel/know what the other person is feeling/thinking even though they're miles away. So ask yourself this if you are not satisfied with this connection than how can you be possibly satisfied with any other??link to article

Face Off

2006-05-27T23:49:00.001+04:00

Do you know how painful a facial can be??? Trust me, you're better off going to the dentist instead. It all started with me want to go get my hair cut at my regular joint. As I walked in, the gay barber quickly pointed me to his chair before the regular guy could even open his mouth to ask. Hmmm why is it that its always the gay ones that rush to cut my hair,anyway at the end of the haircut the guy asks if I would like a facial since it would be good for my skin. I think to myself sure why not, could use some pampering I guess. Boy was I wrong, the barber get this damp face cloth and wipes my face. That is followed by a brisk scrub with some face scrub, next an application of cream. All the while I'm thinking ok this seems to be getting a bit rough, hell I didn't know the half of it. The barber brings out this steam machine, lets it heat up for a couple of minutes, takes the cream he applied on my face off and then whoooshhhhhh I have a face full of hot steam on my face. It was really hot, I felt like the skin on my forehead was burning ouch, what was this guy trying to do, burn the skin off my face?? After what seems like a facial in hell, the real pain begins. He covers my eyes with a cloth and uses some of tool (it must have been a tool cause it sure felt like one) to squeeze the pores of my skin. I was literally in tears, what the hell was this guy doing to my face and everytime he squeezed he made a clicking noise in his mouth, hmmm was he keeping count or what??? Finally after he finishes with the torture treatment he removes the cloth off my face. I wipe off the tears from my eyes and think ok thank god thats over, I was wrong. He then tells me, now we could move into the other room so he could put on a face mask on my face. I think to myself ok maybe this is the last of it, I was wrong again. He wipes off the mask after a bit and then covers my again. It seems when ever my face is covered it means I'm about to get another dose of pain. Then I hear these electric noises and hear them get closer to my face. Zap,Zap,Zap, I get this funny smell, hmmm maybe its my skin being burnt because it definitely hurts. After the electric treatment he says he has to now put some medicine which he pokes into my skin through some tube attached to his zapping machine. A few painful minutes later its all over. He then tells me he also does body massages if I was interested. Hell no way, the facial was torture, imagine the body massage. Now you know how to make a grown man cry, send him for a facial.

Red Bull gives you wings...

2006-05-14T16:56:00.000+04:00

Sometimes you just feel happy for no reason other than the fact that someone you know is out there thinking about you and missing you as much as you are missing them, perhaps even more than you can imagine. The feeling is euphoric, there's nothing like it, you think red bull gives you wings, think again hahaha. I read something really beautiful the other day, The words seem to paint a picture in your head, so you could see every detail in your mind's eye like you were right there experiencing every moment of it. It was such a vivid description, I cannot even begin to describe it. Back to this feeling of euphoria, it does seem to put you on a whole new level. You're whole day seems to brighten, people might look at you and wonder why are you smiling at yourself, or what are you on (in other words can I get that prescription as well hehe)All in all its very uplifting... yes it gives you wings.

Trading up

2006-04-21T03:12:00.000+04:00

A man in Canada apparently has taken the barter system to a whole new level. He started off trading with one red paper clip on July 12th, 2005 and has now ended up with a year's free rent in Phoenix. His ultimate goal is to trade bigger and better until he gets a house. I guess this shows us that anything is achievable if we are willing to go for it no matter how totally unrealistic it sounds. Check out his blog http://www.oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com

The nipple slip

2006-04-08T01:36:00.000+04:00

Ever wonder why men have nipples? Apparently they have no use for them do they, but would men look any different without those nipples? Well the reason men have nipples is because during development the embryo follows a female template until about six weeks, thats when the male chromosome kicks in for the development of the male embryo. Thats when the male enbryo begins to develop all its male characteristics (although I'm not sure about some guys hehe). The finished result being men left with nipples and also some breast tissue. Wonder if this would explain why men like looking at breasts (the female kind of course) perhaps because they missed out on having them heheh

Fit for Fat

2006-03-28T20:56:00.000+04:00

I came across this in a newspaper and I thought it was funny in a way. A hotel in Germany is charging its fat guests extra fees (fat fees hehe). The three star Ostfriesland hotel altered its prices, charging the equivalent of $0.54 per kilo (wonder if they weigh them when they're checking in hehe). The claims the owner of the hotel makes is that the hotel wants to reward thinner guests because they're likely to visit more often. According to him slim guests live longer and can therefore come more often, and this would be the reason to reward them. So I guess staying slim does have its fringe benefits it seems. Hmm wonder if airlines start doing that what would happen... would people lose weight just to get cheaper air tickets?? What if governments start to administer a fat tax just to fatten their revenues, would the world be a thinner healthier place?? Makes one wonder doesn't it hehe...

Dust in the wind

2006-03-07T03:49:00.000+04:00

I came across this song today.... the lyrics and music are by Kerry Livgren and the song was first performed by the group Kansas. There have also been other covers of this song performed by other artists as well. All it takes is a moment for things to change and before we know it that moment has come and gone. The lyrics are as follows:

I close my eyes
Only for a moment, then the moment's gone
All my dreams pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind

Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind, ohh

Now, don't hang on
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
The wind

Hell Freezes Over

2006-03-06T06:24:00.000+04:00

Here's something funny I came across...
"The following is supposedly an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.
As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different Religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I go out with you", and take into account the fact that I went out with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over.
The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct . . . leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."
THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A.""(http://www.alphadictionary.com/fun/hell.html)

Love & Marriage

2005-12-04T00:44:00.000+04:00

This was something I came across a while back and thought I'd post it... quite interesting really...

One day, Plato asked his teacher, "What is love? How can I find it?" His teacher answered, "There is a vast wheat field in front. Walk forward without turning back, and pick only one stalk. If you find the most magnificent stalk, then you have found love. Plato walked forward, and before long, he returned with empty hands, having picked nothing. His teacher asked, "Why did you not pick any stalk? Plato answered, "Because I could only pick once, and yet I could not turn back. I did find the most magnificent stalk, but did not know if there were any better ones ahead, so I did not pick it. As I walked further, the stalks that I saw were not as good as the earlier one, so I did not pick any in the end. His teacher then said, "And that is love." On another day, Plato asked his teacher, "What is marriage? How can I Find it? His teacher answered, "There is a thriving forest in front. Walk forward without turning back, and chop down only one tree. If you find the tallest tree, then you have found marriage." Plato walked forward, and before long, he returned with a tree. The tree was not thriving, and it was not tall either. It was only an ordinary tree. His teacher asked, "Why did you chop down such an ordinary tree?" Plato answered, "Because of my previous experience. I walked halfway through the forest, but returned with empty hands. This time, I saw this tree, and I felt that it was not bad, so I chopped it down and brought it back. I did not want to miss the opportunity. His teacher then said, "And that is marriage."

Baby's day out

2005-09-27T00:34:00.000+04:00

Yesterday my sis gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Born 29/9/05 at 13:09, weighing 3210 grams and 52 cm long. Although Lara as she's been named was supposed to be born a week earlier she came out via a C section yesterday, yesterday also being my mother's birthday which made for a pleasant birthday gift I suppose. I was quite excited to see the baby and did go trigger happy snapping pics of her. I was afraid of holding her since she's such a delicate little thing but was content enough just to observe her ever changing expressions (even while she slept). She seems like a quiet little thing only crying when she needed to be fed or when she just wanted to know that someone was around. Well here's to you little lara, she's such a little cutey!!

Thirst

2005-09-17T19:51:00.000+04:00

Well it was my second Thirst event this time round and sure enough it was fun. This event featured Tiesto (The highest ranked DJ in the world) & Sander Kleinenberg Live in Concert. Managed to get V.I.P. tickets for myself and 2 friends which was good. It was such an effort just to get into the event with no decent parking available and the mob of people just trying to push there way in through the gates. Quite unpleasant if one found themselves between the blockade rails and the mob. Luckily it wasn't too unruly even though my friend lost his pass just while we were trying to get in. Fortunately for us, they let him through and our names were also listed at the V.I.P desk. So what did that entitle us to you may ask? Free beer all night long (or as long as the beer lasted) served by hotties in the V.I.P enclosure (damn I just love repeating that word hehe) Yes it was another night of binge drinking, loud music and sweaty bodies. Plenty of eye candy to oodle at as well. All in all a fun weekend event that will hopefully come around next year as well. To think that some people actually passed it up for something mundane I just can't fathom why? Oh well their loss, now all I have to do is just rub it in on what they missed out, hehe too bad for them

Child's Play

2005-05-18T14:11:00.000+04:00

Children these days seem to be able to get away with just about anything. They can do just about anything and their parents don't seem to mind them doing it either. They can run around screaming, pull someone's hair, spit in people's faces etc. and the parents don't seem to mind them doing that but what if thats being done to somebody else. The parents look at it as their kids being cute and precocious but whatabout the person whose getting the blunt end of things, like in his/her eye or other body part hmmm? So who is to be blamed? Why of course the parents, the kids don't know any better not to cause anyone else discomfort, pain, agony etc. Their little minds are like clay waiting to be molded either the right or wrong way. What they learn early on in life will stay with them and become a part of their characteristics as an individual. If a child sees thats it ok to cause inconvenience to another person and is not corrected about it, he/she may develop the idea that it is ok to do so. Chances of this developing into further acts of annoyance is very possible. Children don't know what their limitations are but parents should. Nip it in the bud I say before what might be perceived as being cute exasperates into something worse in future years. So when kids grow up and do things they regret later on in their lifes and end up going for therapy for it, it eventually boils down to what limitations their parents set out for them when they were growing up. Children are very impressionable so don't leave them with the wrong impressions, leave them with the right ones.

The Body Snatchers

2005-05-16T14:12:00.000+04:00

Hmmm I came across an article recently that puts a whammy on the modern dating and marriage scenario. Apparently in Kyrgyzstan the norm is that if you like a girl and want to marry her, you just kidnap her and take her home. Hmmm and here I was thinking gone were the days of the cavemen with their clubs who clubbed their mates and dragged them off, apparently not. More than half of Kyrgyzatan's married women were snatched off the streets by their husbands in a custom known as ala kachuu, which translates roughly as "grab and run". So how do they manage to keep the abductees from leaving besides marrying them? Well once a woman has been snatched and taken to her would be husband's home, her in-laws try to calm her down and get a white wedding shawl onto her head. (Imagine you're mom telling you, ahhh you've got a good one this time, hold her down while I get the shawl, hmmm) The shawl called a jooluk, is a symbol of the abductees submission. 80% of the abductees eventually give in, often at the urging of their own parents, who have been summoned to make their daughters stay. Makes you think of the culture when you have old Kyrgyz sayings like "Every good marriage begins in tears". The custom is deemed practical although it is illegal, most people don't know its illegal (hmm I wonder why?) Families use force to keep the abducted women from leaving by resorting to force or threatening them with curses which seem to have a powerful impact in this superstitious land. (Wonder what the divorce rate is like, practically nil perhaps). Putting bread on the doorstep or having an elderly woman from the family lie across the threshold are some of the ways they keep the abductees from leaving. Its a life time of bad luck to step over either. Hmmm imagine you calling your grandma out "Hey granma, its time for you to sleep outside the doorway"(wonder why the brides never used the windows) either way the abductees are tainted for life if they leave with their virginity suspect and her name disgraced, she'd find it difficult to attract another husband. So I guess another saying that would go well in this culture would be "If you can't beat them, join them"

What an intricate web we weave

2005-05-06T19:29:00.000+04:00

It seems that the comic book hero Spiderman has gone indian. Yup, thats right, imagine Spiderman in a 'dhoti' swinging between rickshaws and dodging cows. The Spiderman alter ego Peter Parker will be known as Pavitr Prabhakar, hahahahaha. In a bid to cash in and tap a market where nearly half the billion plus population is under 25 GEG (Gotham Entertainment Group) based in Bangalore in a deal with Marvel Enterprises will introduce the new cross cultural superhero in India next month and has already launched four issues of the comic book in the US, hmmmm from Peter Parker to Pavitr Prabhakar, so whats next? Would people really like to see Spiderman swinging around in a 'dhoti' ,what if it should fall or a gust of wind should blow us a view of Spiderman's spidey sense tingling. It would definitely give some more to think about when they hear the words " Your friendly neighbourhood Spiderman" hahahahh

Adam's Apple

2005-05-01T14:53:00.000+04:00

Thinking as I usually do at the oddest of hours I came up with the conclusion that I know what a man's and woman's weakness is. So how did I arrive at this conclusion? Well I based it on none other than our first couple Adam and Eve. Man's weakness is simple enough, its woman (I'm talking about heterosexuals of course), well it was Eve that convinced Adam to take a bite out of her apple didn't she? Not to mention she didn't have the fig leaves on at the time either. So she was convincing enough to entice him to do the unthinkable. So that was Adam's weakness so what Eve's? Well after giving it some thought and wondering what could it be, it suddenly hit me. What can no woman resist???Are you ready for it.... well its really simple. No woman can resist a bargain. Thats right, a bargain in any form seems to be a woman's weakness. If you're a woman and you're reading this, you know its true. How hard is it for you to tear yourself away from a bargain, hmmm?? So why did Eve take the apple? Simple because the serpent told her for a bite she was getting the whole 9 yards, she could make her own paradise, she could have her own damn apple orchard for that matter, in other words she'd be just like god. If that didn't sound like a bargain to her then what would have??

Familiarity breeds contempt

2005-03-13T15:06:00.000+04:00

Have you noticed in recent years that magazines like Vogue and Cosmopolitan and others of the same calibre seem to be printings articles on "how to save your marriage", or "how to spice up your sex life" or other how to's and do's and don'ts related to the subject of marital bliss and relationships. Divorce rates are definitely on the rise, there's no doubts there but why is it?My friend says that at the moment she seems to see a lot of divorces taking place around her, like 'tis the season for this folly, fa lalala la la la la lah. She said it seemed like the divorce boom time while I said to me it seemed more like the baby boom time. But getting back to the case at hand, it all boils down to chemistry and the chemicals fizzing out. People tend to get bored, things start to become plain and mundane, unexciting finally falling into a sort of schedule where you can't be bothered doing what you have to since its goin to be the same tomorrow and the day after and the day after that. Some might just tend to accept the routine and carry on day after day. We live in a society where we seem to be getting forever impatient and stressed for time. We want things done quicker and faster boiling down to the fact that our tolerance levels have dropped compared to 10 or 20 years ago perhaps. A fast paced world demands a fast paced individual, so chances of gettin bored, irritated and annoyed with your partner are more likely. This often drives us away from our partners perhaps even making us look for excitement elsewhere or in other forms. You have to keep thinking of new projects or new experiments to come up with to make sure the chemistry doesn't fade away. So why do we get married? Do we marry for love or money? Or do we really just want to marry for compatibility?

Missed Communication

2005-03-09T13:08:00.000+04:00

Have you noticed that most arguments amongst friends and family are mostly due to misunderstandings or miscommunication. Is it because we just don't really listen to what each other is saying? Is it because one's actions even though well intentioned might become misconstrued as the total opposite of what it was supposed to be? I think if we really take the time to listen to what each other is saying, we would be able to avoid a lot of misunderstandings and grievances. Maybe the key to it all is just explaining ourselves better. A good explanation would definitely be better than a good excuse. And how do we start by laying out this foundation for communication? Why by apologizing of course! It might not even be your fault or you may deem yourself to think that why the hell am I saying sorry for I didn't start this, but by saying sorry, you not only get the other person's attention but you also put them in a position to actually listen to you and hear what you have to say. It may not always work but it still gets someone's attention to listen at least if even for a short time. So if we could only communicate better with each other, we would probably be living a less stressfull and more fruitful existence, what do you think?

The Parent Trap

2005-02-27T15:11:00.000+04:00

Have you noticed that when parents take their kids out shopping, they have to keep their kids in check or pull them around to make sure they're not dilly dallying or lagging behind. Constantly calling them to hurry up and get moving. Well as you grow up and go shopping with your parents, it seems the opposite seems to occur. You start to feel they're dilly dallying and want them to hurry up. Now they're the ones that are lagging behind while you're the one in a hurry to move. Its like a cycle or feels like one where our roles seem to get reversed. Its funny in a way when you look at it as the saying goes what goes around,comes around......

Prop Prose

2005-02-05T03:47:00.000+04:00

Oh love why have I fallen from your highest graces leaving my countenance in the grimmest despair
Why has the deeds which endear me to your cause recklessly abandon the fruition of my path
Of all said and not said, meaningless words spoken often with frail dignities to do them justice, for that not spoken echoed louder than mindful chatter broadly spoken
The distance borrowed by eloquent misgivings of what fate prepared
A feast for the mind which starved the heart, enough to protest such candour that bears this ingratitude

Pearls of Wizzdom

2004-12-11T21:03:00.000+04:00

I was experiencing a more than frequent occurence of wet dreams in the past 3 weeks and wondered what could be the cause of it. Browsing through the internet I found out that a rise in testosterone levels would do this. While browsing I also came across some interesting stuff as well. One site claimed that some wet dreams could be caused by demonic influence, i.e. succubi invading our dreams and having sex with us hmmm (http://www.4hurtingchristians.com/why_do_we_have_wet_dreams_are_they_a_sin.html) Another article I came across stated that if we retained our (ahem) body fluids for several years like buddhist monks, we would develop solid pearls or seminal stones (similar to kidney stones These seminal stones are fire-resistant. Imagine carrying these around in our bodies hmmm (I doubt they have any value either) besides would you buy one of those pearls?? I think not!!Buddhism uses the seminal stones to symbolize the degree of how a monk resists sexual temptation. Statistically, the average life span of monks is shorter than that of married men who enjoy sex.
(http://www.actionlove.com/cases/case9179.htm)
So what does that tell us... make love not war and the world would be a happier more crowded place...

The Footy Show

2004-12-03T20:32:00.000+04:00

Date: December 3rd
Venue: Dubai Exiles Club
Event: Dubai Rugby 7s
Objective: Consume as many beers as possible

It was a fine day at the grounds, estimated population 25,000, the beer was flowing and food was a plenty all in the name of sport. There was plenty of pretty young things about, of course that did not deter us from our objective. We got there about 1pm, we decided not to have lunch after all lunch was a meal consumed everyday as my friend put it. We went straight for our target, thats right beer!! It was a nice sunny day and we started off with some cold ones, of course there was plenty of eye candy around and then of course we couldn't forget the reason why the event was being held- rugby of course, the game played by men with odd shaped balls. We caught a glimpse of the cheerleaders as they performed their routines, hmmm not bad I might add. A couple of hours later we decided to get some food in our bellies which we washed down with beers (naturally). 7 hours later and plenty of trips to the loo, we were just about ready to leave. Everything was a haze by then and we couldn't care less about the game either. Luckily I wasn't driving and I managed to doze off as well riding shot gun. All in all we had a wonderful day of binge drinking in the sun. Mission accomplished.

Writers Blocked

2004-11-05T14:29:00.000+04:00

Why is it that people expect you to write about all you have learnt on a subject given a period of a year or 3 months in a matter of hours. I mean what exactly is the logic behind an exam. An exam is supposed to prove that you have learnt and understood the subject that you have taken a year to learn or a semester yet they have you write about what you have learnt in a matter of hours. How fair does that sound?Why is there a time limit on an examination?Why aren't you ever allowed the time you need to write down what you need to write down, instead of it being alloted to you. Those dreaded words "Pens down!!" or "Stop writing!!" ring out just when you seem to have started answering that last question (the one that could possibly determine your grade perhaps).So why have all this time learning something but have so little time to prove you've learnt it? Whats the catch?Why can't we set our own time limits? I'm not saying we should go on for days or weeks but think about it, compare three hours to a whole year of learning. Those of you who have ever had to do your board exams, would you think the time limit was fair? What if you were a slow writer?What if you wrote any faster, nobody would be able to understand what you wrote anyway and you'd be the one to suffer. (Tell that to a Dr. writing out a prescription!!) We should have the choice of setting out the time limit since we don't have a choice in setting the exam. Hey its the least they could do let alone having us sweat it out in there. I guess its only a matter of time before something evolutionary like that happens sigh! and only time will tell.

Misery loves company

2004-09-19T10:34:00.000+04:00

Whats wrong with me?Why does it seem that everything I seem to do is wrong or disastrous?Ever since I've been back, I've been miserable, I am miserable.Why am I so distracted?Ever since I've been back I can't seem to do anything right.Maybe its the lack of direction in my life that contributes to my screw ups. I don't know, perhaps I don't even care. Perhaps I've reached that stage where I'm so miserable I don't care anymore....... bah humbug!!!

If tomorrow comes

2004-08-20T14:35:00.000+04:00

A death closer to home especially when its out of the blue, makes me question our own mortality. We don't think about it but it never really strikes us that it can come suddenly without warning and take someone we know away. We take life for granted most of the time because we don't question our own mortality. We forget that we should live for today and not for tomorrow for there might not be that tomorrow to look forward to. It maybe taken away when we least expect it. So live it up while you can, tell some one you care about how much they mean to you because that chance might be taken away when you least expect it. Do what needs to be done today and don't procrastinate. Live for today as if it were your last so you don't have regrets of what was not done.

Above and Beyond

"Looking at cleavage is like looking at the sun, you don't stare at" it says Jerry Seinfield. Men can't seem to resist staring at it though especially if it is presented in a good package. It seems to be almost a reflex action, we just can't seem to help ourselves. What is it and why does it seem to always draw attention both negative and positive. Women also seem to notice it but their reactions differ from ours. Comments like " Look at those fakes!! "," Why doesn't she cover herself up? " " That slut!! " or other such negatory comments are often heard. Women with ample bosoms are sometimes but not often admired by their fellow women, especially those who feel they could do with a little more in that area. Enticing bodices made to improve the appearance of such body parts seem to make their way sooner or later into a woman's boudoir. They not only seem to make mountains out of mole hills but definitely draw attention to the area in general. On that note I'll end with a boob boob be dupe...

Music to my ears....

2004-06-12T21:36:00.000+04:00

I haven't been blogging for quite a bit and so I decided that I must add something to keep my blog alive. I went to watch Sean Paul live, since I managed to get some free passes. Well I can say this for Sean Paul, he isn't much of an entertainer in terms of trying to keep his crowd alive. Most of the people that turned up for the show were teeny boppers, who seemed quite happy at getting their hands on some alcohol and cigarettes, ahhhh under age drinking and smoking, hmmm must have been the highlights of their weekend. When I mentioned Sean Paul to one of my friends, she didn't even seem to know who he was,hmmm, well her excuse was she was getting old and that she hadn't been in touch with the music scene for ages. Well come to think of it neither have I but I still do have some inkling of whats the latest in the music world atleast. I guess my music spectrum is quite broad. Quite recently I've started listening to jazz for some reason, even though I have no collections of my own. I do seem to find it quite relaxing, especially when I'm trying to whip up a meal in the kitchen, I've also noticed that successful men tend to listen to jazz or classical music for some reason. Could there be any association as to why they graduate to listening to such music? Is it because they can associate it with a more sophisticated and cultured taste in comparison to their successes? Oh well I can't answer for them but I do know this, I will be successful just give me time to prove it.

Death can be so shocking sometimes. It can come out of the blue to scare you, bringing you closer to reality especially when its a death thats close to home. We seem to take people around us for granted. We don't realise that today they're here and tomorrow they might not be. A death in the family can always drive the point home that it can catch up with us when we least expect it. Two of my uncles have died in a span of less than a month. One of them died yesterday morning. He was out for a morning walk and got hit by a car. Imagine that this very man survived major heart surgery and recovered from it only to have his life taken away by a motorist. Ironic isn't it, surviving one ordeal only to be taken away by another. I cannot even try to put myself into the shoes of his immediate family that he leaves behind. Their loss would be too overwhelming to describe. It is so unfortunate that his family who took care of him post surgery so that he got better only to have him taken away by another misfortune. I'm sure he is in a happier place now but the people he leaves behind have a lot of grief to contend with.We must remind ourselves that the people we love and cherish will die one day or another but will we be prepared for that day when it comes? For death has no fixed time, it comes when it pleases, it can come when you least expect it and rob you of some one you love or someone you know. So don't forget to take the time to be in touch with the people you care about because you never know if the correspondence you had with them the last will be the last you'll ever have with them......rest in peace Uncle Stanley and I hope and pray that this loss your family has to bear will be eased.

Dream

2004-05-02T01:13:00.000+04:00

If only people stretched their imaginations and learnt how to dream. Living a dream would be quite a daunting task, but if we stick to it I'm sure we will live it. The world needs more dreamers perhaps, if we were all dreaming there would probably be less warmongering and more peace to be achieved. But alas, we live in a world where being a dreamer is laughable, where you're encouraged to bring your head out of the clouds and have your feet placed firmly on the ground so that you are in touch with reality. Truly if we did dare to dream, would we end up like Don Quixote, going off on adventures,fighting in the name of honour and virtue, help the helpless and possibly save the world???Who knows, most dreamers I think don't live to tell the tale or their dreaming is cut short by a stab of reality.....
You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Thanks John Lennon

Murphy's Law

2004-04-30T00:07:00.000+04:00

Ahhh the best laid plans of mice and men seem to never pan out for some reason,hmmm does that have anything to do with murphy's law in anyway. You have expectations for the coming weekend, you almost count the days til it is the weekend and then when its there, pfft your expectations turn to dust and your plans go down the drain for some reason or the other, ahhh whats the point in making plans anyway if they're bound to inevitably let you down.I guess the best tactic would be to make no plans at all and just do things at the spur of the moment, that way the risk of failure cannot be attributed to a well thought out plan but a spur of the moment decision, ahhh sheer spontaneity is the key to beating murphy's law I suppose.

Another Birthday

2004-04-16T01:34:00.000+04:00

Went for a Enrique Iglesias concert yesterday. You know its true, where ever you find the girls hanging out, you'll find the guys there too. I guess the guys were there just to see the girls, and the rest were either gay or like his music. Me, I was there cause I got free tickets and didn't have anything better to do. Oh yeah! today's my birthday, another year older but I don't feel the difference, well I know I don't look different either but what the heck another excuse to have a celebration and get prezzies. Too bad it doesn't work out that the older you get the more prezzies you get, otherwise I'd be one happy camper. Anyways my birthday suit is none the worse for wear, it still fits hahahhaha...

Perception Deception

2004-04-05T19:04:00.000+04:00

Have you realised how our perceptions of things seem to change with time. What we found funny before doesn't necessarily seem funny now. What we found attractive then makes you wonder what was the attraction now. Do our perception of things get better or worse as we grow older, or as we experience things.Our ideals change, our mindsets, our way of living. The changes we experience around us eventually change our perceptions a well. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?Who knows, I guess it varies by place and time. We are constantly changing like life itself so i guess we should just make the most of it.

Once betrayed twice shy....

2004-03-29T18:39:00.000+04:00

Have you ever felt or experienced betrayal?By a word, a moment, friend, lover, circumstance, an act, your self etc.How does one deal with betrayal?With betrayal comes lack of trust, sometimes its not easily gotten over and dealt with. It lingers on and on and you can never bring yourself to have faith in what caused the betrayal again. Every action has an opposite and equal reaction but is the reaction really equal? In the case of betrayal, does the cause justify the consequence?Can you really bring yourself to trust again, can you ever have faith again?Once bitten twice shy.... as the saying goes.

All Apologies

2004-03-21T11:32:00.000+04:00

I noticed that in life its not always easy to admit one's mistakes.None of us are infallible, we all have our faults and imperfections. Sure sometimes its hard to say your sorry and really mean it. The difference in showing remorse on our accountabiliy depends on how we convey this message.If we truly are apologetic surely the offended party would perceive it.The question then is of accepting the apology.So eventually it would boil down to three things;saying it,meaning it and getting it accepted. Some offended parties have the tendency to have the guilty stew in their own juices before purging their guilt. Others fall into two categories of 'I do' and 'I don't'. Needless to say, these catgeories don't leave you hanging for an answer,judgement is swift and usually final. I think learning to say 'I'm sorry' requires one to be humble and I'm sure humility would solve half the world's problems.... if only all of us could admit our mistakes and redress them, the world would be a better place.

Nocturnal ramblings

2004-03-19T21:59:00.000+04:00

Today's been a lazy day, not that the rest of my days can't fall in that category, but it has been a while since I've had an intellectual orgasm of sorts. Something that would stimulate me to diversify my interests and come up with something fresh and zestful apart from my mundane neuroses.As per my usual idiosyncrasies I was up during the wee hours of the morning pencilling another poem. Of course they just seem to pop into my head everytime I try to get to sleep making me quite the nocturnal poet I seem to have become. Obviously if I don't get the words to paper, they leave me feeling restless and definitely does not help in relieving my lack of slumber. So finally after I've gotten the poem complete then I manage to drain my brain of those ever so persistent thoughts and gradually manage to get some shut eye.

Dead side manners

2004-03-17T20:30:00.000+04:00

Death... we all have experienced it at some time or the other... the death of a loved one, relative, friend, colleague, acquaintance....it affects us in different ways. It all depends on how we connect with the person that died and the ones they've left behind. When someone tells you that their family member has died, there's always that moment of awkwardness that occurs. I mean what can you say to a person that has lost a loved one?Do just say something short and sympathetic or do you prolong it by trying to empathise with the person. Is there any post death etiquette that can be followed without being too distant or too involved.The question is what is the proper thing to say or do without seeming pretentious, I guess a rule of thumb would be to play it by ear and see how far that takes you.

Life...

2004-03-15T20:18:00.000+04:00

Life is a journey for us. In its light we try to fulfill our hopes and dreams and we try to stick to its light and avoid its shadows. But, it is in the shadows of life where the realities of life dwell and which we must face. If we walk through life with our eyes closed thinking of our hopes and dreams, it is the realities that open our eyes to the truth. Truths which are painful, truths which we must face. Life is not a passage of time between birth and death but it is an eternity that is not eternal. It is the dreams and hopes of ours that are unfulfilled and to fulfill them we must open our eyes to face life and its bitter truths. For if all our hopes and dreams were fulfilled, we would walk life's path with our eyes closed and leave no room for disorder and chaos. Foundations are not built on dreams but on realities. It is the bricks of reality that help us fulfill our dreams. Our quest for peace and fulfillment can only come when we have travelled the sands of sadness and pain. Just as happiness is a part of sadness and joy a part of pain, life is the balance of dreams and realities. But, how we balance these two scales of life will tell us how we have lived it.

Love actually

2004-03-14T21:21:00.000+04:00

Love, what is it,a feeling? something hard to put into words, a desire, an embrace or just a chemical called Phenyl ethyl amine. Well whatever you believe it to be, it makes the world go round.Some people may say no thats not true, its gravity that does that, well thats true but I meant as in everyday life. In life we have to deal with greed, politics, sex etc. But its all governed by love, love for money, love for power, love for beliefs, love for something you desire or want. We all want something in life and love of whatever it is helps us get it one way or another. It might be a dream, it might be a fantasy but because you want it so bad you'd love to have it and you would do anything for love so love does make the world go round after all doesn't it...

hide and seek

Do you know how annoying it can get when you're looking for something and you just can't seem to find it.You look here, you look there, you turn the house upside down, search every nook and cranny and find stuff that was on your previous search agenda but couldn't find.Its damn right frustrating when you can't possibly find what you're looking for just when it bears importance to your current m.o.You know you saw it last at spot x but it somehow managed to displace itself from this location.Drat!, it sounds like the work of gremlins or other such nasties.They've hidden it on purpose and when you least expect it you'll find their secret stash but it won't be too soon.Double drat!!

To watch or not to watch

Hmmm, there seems to be a lot of controversy about Mel Gibson's The Passion of Christ. Some people say the movie is moving, others say its violent and also anti semitic. Well obviously you would have to expect violence in the movie, it says so in the movie title itself "Passion -The sufferings of Jesus in the period following the Last Supper and including the Crucifixion, as related in the New Testament" (courtesy www.dictionary.com) This man was tortured, beaten and nailed on a cross.People have the tendency of dismissing it as just senseless violence in the movie. Well I think we fail to comprehend what a crucifixion can be like. Its not a pleasant thing, its something really horrible and terrible to have to go through. I know it easy to say the man was crucified but have you ever seen it. Well thanks to this movie you just get a taste of how such an ordeal would be like. How would some one describe such a painful process without delving into it and showing us how its done. Yes of course its violent, violence on a whole new level, quite different from the violence we're used to seeing on tv (mostly) Normally its bang bang, the guy is dead, not a whole torturous process of watching it being done. Sure we'd all love to escape it and rather not watch it but you can say this, if it was so painful to watch, imagine how it must have been to the person who got crucified. People say the movie is anti semitic because it portrays the jewish people as crucifying the christ, well here's a question didn't they really do that, there's no doubts about that is there? So this man went through all that pain, suffering and torture because he wanted to make a sacrifice, his final point to the world. So lets not forget why he endured all that.

think outside the box

Have you ever felt like you're trapped in a box and the box seemed to be getting smaller and smaller.That you were being slowly suffocated, that your life was going nowhere and you were a victim of circumstance.That you had no control over the elements that binded you in these invisible chains.Did you grow frustrated like an animal in a cage, pacing around and not knowing how to get out of your situation.Where the only person who knew what you were facing was yourself.... ah if only you could escape it all,hmmm only time will tell.

history

They say history repeats itself and if we don't learn from history then we're doomed to repeat it.So what if you could go back in time and do it all over again,would you?What would you change?I know if I could go back I'd live all over again, go through the whole process and correct what ever I deemed to be a mistake that I committed, taken that opportunity that I missed because I didn't pursue it enough.Would that make my life perfect....I think not, chances are I might probably end up making more mistakes to begin with.Its hard to learn from your mistakes at times especially if you keep making the same ones.Is it due to habit that we keep making them, or is it genes that some choices we make just turn out bad?Do your mistakes ever haunt you?Of course the past is the past and eventually you get over it but do you end up repeating your mistake or do you learn from it and make sure you don't make it twice?Hmmm what if....

much ado about ghosts

2004-03-11T22:17:00.000+04:00

ok here's some thoughts and theories that suddenly decided to pop into my head one day (they usually happen at night just when i'm trying to get to sleep)
I believe that ghosts are some form of electrical energy and why you may ask do I believe this?I obviously have no proof of this but what the heck this blog is for my thoughts right, so here they are. Well firstly they seem to drain batteries and stop making your camcorders or other recording equipment from working. I think they also make other electrical equipment to stop functioning. They also make your hair stand on end.I know that static electricity can do that right. Well lets see what else is a ghost supposed to be able to do,hmmm, walk through walls,float,make objects move,glow and basically scare you shitless. Well doesn't electricity sorta do the same thing as well?? I mean electricity can pass through walls,electricity can definitely float and it can definitely move things (electric trains) and boy can it move things and signs like danger,do not touch 500,000 volts wouldn't that scare you?? Now I'm not sure what type of electricity ghosts actually are but like I said I believe that they are some sort of electricity. People say there's a chill in the air when there's a ghost around,hmm so how do I explain that? Well in electricity there are positive and negative charges right? So what if a ghost is just some negatively charged electrical energy giving you that cold shock when it happens to pass by. The stronger the ghost, the more likely that its electrical composition is strong as well.Ghosts are also said to leave behind some residue called ectoplasm, well according to a theory (not mine) it says that ectoplasm is electro magnetic energy from the earth (www.ghostwatchers.org/ectoplasm.html)
So in a way that sorta supports my theory, hey I didn't research my subject, I just thought about it while I was trying to get some sleep. So what do you think?
