my new quote in life
Comments: 2 people have voiced their opinion. What do YOU think?
this blog has been adeptly name the curious monkey. i’m a very curious fellow and i hope that wont change as a grow older and as some people say grow wiser.
growing old. that’s a very interesting topic. everyone makes such a big deal about it. we plan parties, we bitch and complain about it. we track every day of it. we spend soo much time complaining and tracking it that we sometimes lose the beauty of living life. enjoying each passing day and living life.
to that end i came across this phrase today and am absolutely in love with it. i don’t know who first coined it but here it is.
How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?
lets think about this for a bit. what if we did not have calenders and birthdays but just lived life. just lived each moment for just that. a moment to be enjoyed and lived. i think we would all be very much more happier.

My Thoughts – [Jordin Sparks ft Chris Brown - No Air]
Comments: 2 people have voiced their opinion. What do YOU think?
first off.. what a catchy and wonderful song. well done Jordin Sparks. i was never one to follow American Idol, but even for those who don’ follow the show, this was one artist you had to sit up and take notice of.
i’ve long argued with anything on cared to listen that singers today has lost the urge to sing and that they just sing as a job and not for the passion that they have for music. gone are the days of Tina Turner. listening to Tina you felt the music. it stirred up that rhythm in your soul. She gave it all she had when she sang.
coming back to Jordin, she is of that caliber. she feels the music she sings and you can see that passion in her voice. i absolutely love that and i hope that she continues to sing songs that allows her her explore the full spectrum of her voice and allows her to really get into the song and feel what she is singing. it truly is her strength and what puts her above other run of the mill artists in my mind.
well done Jordin and keep up the fantastic work!

July 4th
July 4th. It’s America’s celebration of independence. The norm is to have a jolly good BBQ and get-together with some family or friends and pretty just relax the day away. That is in theory. In practice it always ends up being a task on its own to get everyone to agree on a plan and then organize the food and the bbq. Much more headache if you ask me.
I’m just glad its a 3 day weekend. Ahhh.. time to kick back and relax.
Deep Fried but cholesterol is zero
Comments: 4 people have voiced their opinion. What do YOU think?
i was enjoying a nice dinner today. one improvised by mixing in some spices with some instant noodles (ramen to those in the US, Maggie to those elsewhere) and some ground beef to give it some flavor. it actually came out pretty darn good.
i served it up with some MD chillie garlic sauce and was in heaven. one thign was missing, sprats. so i reached for the bottle of Larich chilli fried sprats and had a few.. YUM. being the curous chap i am, i turned the bottle over and decided to read the nutrition sheet at the back of the bottle. i almost choked as i read “Cholestrol = 0“. i turned the bottle around and re-read the label in the front. true enough it read, “Chilli Fried” and those sprats were deep friend for sure.
i’d like to meet the fellow who came up with the zero cholesterol deep fried sprats and shake his hand. hehehe lets just hope no external health department decides to take that up and test it.
half a pound burger
i know what a lot of you reading this must be saying. are you crazy?. that’s a heart attack waiting to happen, etc…
unfortunately i AM a carnivore. i don’t think that will ever change. this does not mean i don’t eat any greens. i do like a little cilantro sprinkled on my roast beef sandwich every now and then.
back to the topic of this post. i came across this sports bar that is absolutely amazing. they actually have proper fries. not the mcdonalds styled regenerated potato fries crap where the fries are thinner than toothpicks. these were nice thick, hand cut fries. the burger pattie was a good inch thick and at least 4 inches in diameter and obviously hand made. i was in burger heaven.
as you can imagine after putting that away i was completely useless untill i could recover my senses again, but it was fully worth it.
can i run a half marathon?
am I crazy? i’m am probably the most unfit chap your likely to come across and yet i managed to get talked into seriously considering a half marathon. i may have been able to pull it off about 5 years ago, but in the shape i’m in right now. I’d be glad if i am not left rolling on the floor after the first 2 miles. the half marathon is 13.1 miles ☹
to make matters worse it wasn’t even a girl trying to convince me. so why did I agree to this hair brained plan? the honest truth of the matter is that i’m ridiculously unfit and the reason for that is that i’m just too lazy to get off my fat ass and exercise.
i really don’t care if i end up being the last person in this race to cross the finish line (well maybe that’s a bit of a stretch. i think i will care if i was the last) but i am hoping that this will give me the motivation to start getting in shape. i hope.
that being said, anyone have any good idea’s or suggestions on how i can go about this whole getting in shape bit? joining a gym wont really work for me. it’s just way too artificial for me.
Crowded Trains vs sardine cans
Comments: 4 people have voiced their opinion. What do YOU think?
I thought I’d seen it all. I’ve experienced the sardine can syndrome as I like to call it many times. From the buses in Sri Lanka during rush hour [you know when your 6-7 people hanging out of the door while the bus rides around town] to the subway lines in New York City during commuter hours. Its brutal.
I just saw a video that makes everything I’ve experience a walk in the park. The video looks like it originates from somewhere in the East Asian part of the word where the officers in charge actually help pack push the sardines people into the train. The result looks like you literally experience worse than any sardine has being packed into a can.
Check out the video after the break!
Female train conductor leaves mic on. Decides to have an orgasm
Comments: 1 Comment so far. Your Next
It’s these little things that goes on in the workplace that makes you wonder what really does go on in the workplace. Earlier this year I wrote about the air hostess who decided to let the captain test out her shockers while in the air.
Today I came across another such video. This time it seems like a female train conductor in one of the European countries [the site says Netherlands, but a visitor states that it is Poland] accidentally leaves her microphone on in between announcements. Then decides to go off (on herself) and have an orgasm while on the job. It’s not sure if it was self inflicted pleasure or other parties were involved, but one of the fast acting commuters decided to take out a video camera and shoot some footage as all this was going down.

Getting drunk to have sex?
Comments: 2 people have voiced their opinion. What do YOU think?
Now that must come to a total surprise to those who living the ostrich life. By ostrich life I mean with their head stuck deep deep in the ground.
Anyone who at one point in their lives were adolescent’s knows this as fact but someone still decided to spend the money to conduct a research into this very fact! The BBC has an article that talks about this very research conducted in Britain and other European countries. The findings [surprise, surprise] stated that young folks were getting drunk and taking drugs to increase the chance of having sex.
Anyways, I just though it was a total waste of money. You don’t really need to do any research to find that out. Any idiot off the streets would be able to confirm that fact, or if your too high and mighty to talk to idiots off the street, go into any bar/club you will be able to see clearly… just like when the rain goes away …. Hehehe
