Special Order
May 26, 2006Ali Maju PBD. 3:00 AM “Lunch”
The usual Maggi Goreng, mata kerbau, ayam tandoori. “Boss, paha ada?”
*indian nod* (or rather, *indian wiggle*)
‘Boss’ returns in 2 minutes
“Paha habis lah.”
*Places his right palm on his right manboob*
“Dada ada.”
*Begins circular motion of plam over manboob*
ERROR 41 – Invalid image found.
Flushing image. Rebooting brain…
*blinks hard for a second while brain reboots*
“…OK.”
*indian wiggle*

Net Neutering
May 17, 2006When I first saw this episode of Askaninja (see my blogroll, it's one of the funniest series of videos I've seen in a long while, those crazy SOBs really do a good job, and the main character is absolutely hilarious with his voice and style of delivery, and ok now back to the main topic), I knew as much about Net Neutrality as the mating habits of pygmy jellyfish of Bora Bora Island.
A coupla days later, I stumbled across Net Neutrality again over at Shawn's, and this time there are links for me to click (on a blog? how convenient). I needed a bedtime story, so I decided why not, let's see what the fuss is all about.
Well apparently some major American Companies are trying make money off the internet. They brainstormed with Doctor Evil and came up with a scheme to make Meellions of dollars of the internet on top of what they're making now. They want to charge content providers to deliver their content faster and more reliably. So only companies with Meellions of dollars can afford to have their content delivered faster and more reliably, while smaller companies and independent content owners like blog owners (oh which is like every other person) will update yearly, cause that's how long their site will take to load.
Now they are trying to get a bill passed in the US for this to happen. Just our luck that big US corporations are on the verge of controlling the internet. On top of that, these corporations have set up groups to confuse the general public on the main issue. And by general public I mean the folks in the US. We're not the general public, cause we ain't in the US. Cause World Series Baseball is about as global as country music.
Makes me wonder how much attention Net Neutrality has gotten outside of the US. I also wonder how much people outside of the US can do about it. It'll be interesting to see how much more influence the US can exert on the rest of the world, on top of Oprah and MTV.

Bareback Mounting
May 12, 2006I watched it.
I, like many straight guys, cringed too (gotta watch my punctuation there).
I might be labelled a homophobe by some.
It's a natural reaction from me. I am just not used to seeing man-on-main action that way, going at it like bonobos in Discovery Channel. All it is, is something new and different to me.
I don't see homosexuals as evil or unnatural. I don't think they are here to corrupt the morals and whatnot. I'm not religious myself, so damning homosexuals to a place where I don't believe exists, doesn't really work. I actually think this is just evolution in human thought. Circle of thoughts, attitudes, perception of beauty has evolved, sexual preferences, tastes in music, preferences of mamak stalls – constantly evolving. It's a natural thing!
Note on Natural: Dolphins (which are ranked second ahead of humans as the most intelligent of all beings) have homosexual tendencies. You can't get any more natural than dolphins. Nah-uh.
Well I see it as their personal sexual preferences, which unfortunately does not fit into the current society's schema. And not too long ago, women were second class citizens, coloured people were treated like animals, lower-caste people were not… well people. Wait, some of that's still around. So much fuss for all the wrong reasons.
We've got bigger poo to worry about, stuff that's going to clog our pipes soon if we keep fussing over cicak droppings. Wars, polution, disease, McDonalds and Britney Spears, the list goes on. And if Bob banging Burt means one less case of abandoned babies, or 1 less statistic in this global over-population, then ladies and gentlemen, we have a win-win situation.

Hold your breath…
May 6, 2006Here I sit and I stare,
The words are just not there,
The cursor impatiently blinking,
I type then I backspace,
Trying to fill up white space,
But no phrases, no letters, nothing,
At the time the idea was fine,
And fueled by this ego of mine,
It didn't occur to me to think it over,
So I quickly got started,
Streamyx up, laptop booted,
And began this foolish endeavour,
But lo and behold,
I just scrolled and scrolled,
My mind went completely empty,
The more and more I attempted,
The more I felt constipated,
In fact I felt downright shitty,
Cause I was sitting on the throne,
Carrying out business of my own,
Yes, I was blogging from the potty,
So I abandoned the notion,
Blogged after I passed motion,
Apologies, if this post smells wonky.
