Candles, check... Summoning circle, check... Ligher, check... A human scarifice, uncheck... Yeah, yeah... It's lame... But tt's the basic perception of how a ritual goes right??? Oh course, I don't mean it in the literal sense, like duh... Rather, I'm referring to my need to blog every week... Perhaps it's to kill time, perhaps I just wanna share my thoughts with my friends, perhaps I just have to touch the computer and do some typing... Gosh, the last perhaps make it sounds like I'm suffering from some compiter addiction or something...
I was on duty yesterday and I caught a glimpse of [The Tyra Bank's Show]... I didn't catch the full segment of it, but the 1st few mins tt I watched was seriously worth pondering over... [Tyra] was talking abt how ppl judge one another based on 1st impression by doing an experiment on a bunch - 10 exactly - of middle sch kids... Basically, it goes like this... Each of the 10 kids are to pick from a range of jobs - whore, homeless person, theif, mayor, police officer, shop owner, etc - a job for one another based on 1st impression... I find it interesting cause the mentality of those [US] kids astound me... How they perceive tt all blacks are theives, how showing lots of skin makes you a whore and all... Which goes to say tt it's human nature to judge one another the moment you lay eyes on each other...
I confess tt I do judge ppl... A lot in fact... Of course, I still try to understand the person more to make sure tt my judgement isn't off tangent (which for the record, is always off tangent)... After all, the saying 'never judge a book by it's cover' is coined for a reason as no one in their right mind will say such things just for the sake of saying...
Please, don't be taken aback from my confession... I don't judge ppl tt terribly, like those in the [US] where showing skin makes you loose and being fat is a crime... Hey, fat (not obese) is good, as reported by an article in [Mind Your Body] 3 days ago tt being fat reduces the risk of certain cancer... Ha!!! Thin ppl, you better watch out... Better put on some fat to protect yourself... LOL...
Yes, the topic has abruptly been switched... So let's carry on with the change of subject... I watch [Next] yesterday night in camp (like I've said, in case you're not reading, I was on duty)... But I don't really want to count tt as watching the movie yet as 1, there's no subtitles for me to read and 2, I'm interrupted a couple of times in the movie... So I would like to watch it once more with subtitles so tt I can fully understand the movie... Not just what it's abt, but what was said and the meaning behind some of the exchange... Seriously, all those gives great insights to the movie so tt you can truly comprehend what the movie is abt... Despite all tt I've said though, the ending for this movie isn't very fantastic... The plot and climax are great... It's only the ending tt's crap...
Apart from tt, I also watched [Starship Troopers: Heros Of The Federation] when I came back from camp today... I was disappointed by the movie... Throughout the movie (apart from the ending), there wasn't a hint of sunlight, as though bugs will burn if they ever get in contact with the sun... *Roll eyes* Plus the lack of subtitles again totally hindered my ability to understand what those important conversations (mutterings, actually) are all abt... Zzz... And the concept's absurd, really... How bugs the size of normal-sized crabs (not tied-up) are capable of entering your mouth and taking control over your body is totally mind-boggling... Logically speaking, won't you like die the moment such big thing get stuffed down your throat??? Gee... Anyway, the only thing tt kept me watching the movie is the memory of the cartoon [Starship Troopers]... It's a cartoon of the ice-aged... Back when I was still in primary school... I can still recall how I like to role-play the dude in the cartoon who's the camera-man... LOL... I didn't role-play the macho leader, neither did I like the brave soldiers... Instead, I fell in love with the camera-man tt's totally defenseless save for some psyhic power which I think is telepathy... Ha, imagine reading what bugs are thinking abt... *Shivers* Maybe tt's why I hate bugs... Too much [Starchip Troopers]... -_-"'
O-k-a-y... Before I end this entry, here's a little something for you to laugh @...
The house...
She spent the 1st day packing her belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases... On the 2nd day, she had the movers come and collect her things... On the 3rd day, she sat down for the last time @ their beautiful dining room table by candlelight, put on some soft background music and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar and a bottle of Chardonnay...
When she had finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar into the hollow of the curtain rods... She then cleaned up the kitchen and left...
When the husband returned with his new girlfriend, all was bliss for the 1st few days...
Then slowly, the house began to smell... They tried everything: Cleaning, mopping and airing the place out... Vents were checked for dead rodents and carpets were steamed cleaned... Air fresheners were hung everywhere... Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which they had to move out for a few days and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting...
Nothing worked... Ppl stopped coming over to visit... Repairmen refused to work in the house... The maid quit...
Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move... A month later, even though they had cut their price in half, they could not find a buyer for their stinky house... Word got out and eventually, even the local realtors refused to return their calls... Finally, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place...
The ex-wife called the man and asked how things were going... He told her the saga of the rotting house... She listened politely and said tt she missed her old home terribly, and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for getting the house back... Assuming tt his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell was, he agreed on a price tt was abt 1/10 of what the house was worth, but only if she were to sign the papers tt very day... She agreed and within the hour, his lawyers delivered the paperworks...
A week later, the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home...
