Found this the other day when I was chatting to Paul about the girls that got away during high school.  There was one girl who I liked for 2 years at high school but the opportunity never seemed to come up to ask her out.  I was never sure whether she liked me even though we flirted like hell.  I would have been laughed at by so many of my friends and how would we ever be able to hang out again if she rejected me?

Many years later though, I bumped into this girl at a party; she confessed to me that I used to be in her diary every day during high school and that ‘I should know why’!? Damn!!  The tagline is:

Is there somebody you like, but you’re not sure whether they feel the same?

Fits far too well with my situation at the time.  Unfortunately by the party she  already had a boyfriend.  Chance missed. Shame, as she was an absolute stunner  Check it out: Why Aren’t We Dating

A frustrated Indonesian football (soccer) fan went crazy and took matters into his own hands by expertly taking the ball and running the length of the pitch Forrest Gump style.

Notice his lack of shoes!! His shot was a bit poor though, lacked accuracy straight at the keeper but his pace and power are to be admired.  One spectator said: “He could be a future striker for Indonesia.”.  We have to agree because like the rest of the team he couldn’t even score.

He’s probably better than the entire Indonesian team put together anyway.

Found this except by Woody Allen. I think he got it right. I mean, it sucks that our lives get worse as we age. We have less fun, more responsibility, the body degenerates and we become “old”. Not something to look foward to. As soon as we’re old enough to start appreciating life, it’s like “damn, i’m old already and heading towards death!”. Most of the fun is over with. Maybe that’s why people have kids… A distraction from how miserable the future really is! So Woody got the right idea. The ‘direction’ of life really sucks, so the opposite way around would be absolutely perfect!!!!

“In my next life I want to live backwards.
You start out dead and get that out of the way.

The you wake up in an old people’s home
feeling better every day.
You get kicked out for being too healthy,
go collect your pension, and then when
you start work, you get a gold watch
and a party of your first day.

You work for 40 years until you’re young
enough to enjoy your retirement.

You party, drink alcohol, and are
generally promiscuous, then you
are ready for high school.

You then go to primary school,
you become a kid, you play.
you have no responsibilities,
you become a baby until you
are born. And then you spend your last 9 months floating in
luxurious spa like conditions with
central heating and room service
on top, larder quaters every day
and then, Volia!
You finish off as an orgasm!

I rest my case.”

So a 100 year old Brazilian Grandmother is going to do a parachute jump from 4,000 metres on Christmas Day -she’ll be the oldest parachutist in history.  WE URGE HER NOT TO DO THIS.

False teeth are expensive and I don’t believe they have healthcare provision in Rio. Look what happened to this Granny:

Apparently her Grandson helped her to organise the jump… hmmm… how about that inheritance Granny? … I bet she actually asked for a nice jumper.

Christmas is special,  obviously brings out special powers in people.  Check out this awesome Christmas StreetFighter Snowball:

Photoshopped, anyone?

a woman found a fat python stuck on her bird cage. her pet parrot was no-where to be seen and the python had a very fat belly!

BUT… the python had made a critical miscalculation, the bird got its revenge!! you see, the python’s stomach was bulging so much after its meal that it couldn’t get back out of the cage!

indeed, the snake got its meal, but the bird got the last laugh~

There’s this crazy guy in China who teaches monkeys how to do Kung Fu. Anyway, one of his monkeys kicked him in the head whilst he wasn’t looking. Judging by the technique on the flying sidekick, the monkey in the pic appears to be a blackbelt. The rest of the monkeys joined in and gang-bashed him. One even beat him with a stick (apparently). According to an observer, he was pretty angry at the monkeys afterwards. but I think it’s his fault, for having monkeys as students!

Not beaten up enough?  Why not discuss the monkey’s killer techniques on the Earth forums?

When I was first reading the Buddhist scriptures, the Buddha would talk about his attendant Ananda in very homoerotic terms. Nobody had ever mentioned anything about this so I didn’t think much of it at the time. just seemed kind of weird… the way in which the Buddha would gossip to others about how hot his (MALE) personal attendant Ananda is.

Finally, I decided to conduct some search about this. and I found that there is actually evidence which shows homoerotic elements in the relationship between the Buddha and his attendant Ananda. The best example is in the Jataka – accounts of the Buddha’s former lives. In these texts, there are some steamy accounts of the Buddha and his male attendant Ananda. A common theme of the Jatakas is love and devotion between men. It glorifies the homosexual relationship (not that there’s anything wrong with that!). But think about it….. Two men who are always together….. Day and night….. Ananda is dedicated mind, body, and soul to the Buddha, and was known to be a very attractive boy. And lets face it, if the Buddha is starved of women, wouldn’t he not feel some attraction towards this handsome boy who is always by his side? In fact, it is the Buddha who chooses to have this handsome boy by his side at all times.

The reality is that in monastic life, there has been a certain laxity towards homosexuality. I mean, what do you get when you take a bunch of guys and starve them of women? It’s the same as what you get in prisons. Homosexuals. Monks are still human after all.

Further evidence points to the Dob dob in Tibetan Buddhism. A monastic fraternity who would fight over boys (for sexual relationships). In other words, they were openly paedophiles. Just as many of the ancient greek philosophers were.

This topic, of homoeroticism in Buddhism has been kept surprisingly quiet. Perhaps it’s time to bring the Buddha out of the closet?

I am now trying to analyse what makes a popular blog…. and then hopefully copy what they do to make this blog popular. it’s the way to success isn’t it? to model what the ’successful’ do?

So lets see….. from my previous entry…. i found that huffington post is sooper dooper popular. right, so apparently politicians are cool. need plenty of them on the front page.

gossip is popular.. as we can see from http://www.tmz.com/
it’s just a site which talks crap about celebrities. i can see stuff mainly about tiger and his mistresses, including pics (words are probably too sophisticated for many of their readers). anyway, quoting TMZ.. “and judging by her hair, skin color and liberal use of the tongue, she definitely seems to be Tiger’s type.”
hmmmmmm…….. i wonder if they’d have mentioned skin colour if he was a white guy? i highly doubt it.
ok, lesson learned. for a popular blog, we need plenty of trash including a dose of racism as well – but scripted in a really cowardly way, of course.

next we have http://www.perezhilton.com/
my first reaction is this “my god….. what a load of trash! who the hell is this perez loser anyway? it’s almost as though he changed his name to make it sound similar to paris hilton.”
i just went back to the site and read some more. i have changed my mind somewhat. it does contain some material of substance. i like the “Pandas Needed To Mate!” article. indeed, a popular blog should definitely contain an article about the mating habits of pandas.

there are a many “high tech” blogs which talk about iPhones and google Phones and crap. such as http://www.engadget.com/
this isn’t really high tech at all. any idiot can use these devices. but anyway, we need to keep the modern tech geek (who has no techical knowledge) happy. so yes, a popular blog needs to discuss the latest (h)iTech gadgets.

looking at BOINGBOING.com now. can’t really figure out what it’s about. “Papercraft Theo Jansen walker”???

i see a who bunch of various crap blogs which are sooper dooper popular. i am compelled to close the browser the moment i open them!! i have just realised, i don’t want a popular blog! i’m outta here! that’s all folks!!! (at least, for tonight!)

well i have been looking around the net. seeing which blogs are the most popular. i viewed the top 100 on technorati and saw the the most popular “blog” is actually www.huffingtonpost.com

it’s just a news website, i wouldn’t call it a proper blog. not only is it just a news website, it’s a pretty BORING one at that! For example the front page is just pictures of politicians!

Anyway, i should stop bitching about things and see whether i can write something interesting.  ”bitching and complaining” category is going to be a popular one for me
