Covering Old Ground...

I am cravingggg a slushie!! Ahhh, do I dare go to my local shops to buy one?? I haven't been there in ages, I don't like the place. And I don't think that place that sold them is there anymore. The joys of small business I suppose. Scissor Sisters rock. Cold front coming in tomorrow so hopefully I'll string together a coherent post.

I Don't Feel Like Dancin', No Sir, No Dancin' Today

Kickbacks and slush(ie) funds. Ahh if only that was the way.

It's too hot for a proper post.

The other day I had a slushie for the first time in years. It was AWESOME! They are my favourite drink of all time. Especially lime!! I love everything lime, best citrus fruit out there. Damn Orange and Lemons getting all the props. The world isn't fair.

I think I need to buy another slushie sometime this week.

Testing

Strapless In Strapsville

I was JUDGED.

Someone judged me.

It was awful.

As you would know (if you've been reading the Joaquin Rate List - JRL, which if you read my posts, you would be perusing on a regular basis), Nikki Osborne is the #1 reigning champion of the list. She recently posed for a men's magazine called Ralph. Don't worry, it's not pornography ala Playboy or something like that, but if you ask me, mags like Ralph are pretty lowbrow. Anyway, Nikki is Nikki and as such, I had to buy it. This posed a dilemma as all the newsagent staff are like teenage girls still in high school or college and it was just an absolute riot trying to decide which girl looked the least innocent so that she wouldn't be corrupted or I would feel the least guilty about.

Anyway, let me digress for a little while to talk about a friend of mine who is still in college. He was showing me a picture of someone he liked, and also in that picture was a very cute girl. I told him to set us up (jokingly), and anyway time passed.

Cut back to 2 days ago, and I was buying this magazine looking all shifty. Haha as a quick sidenote, why would they place the guy magazines next to the teen girl mags???! I took it up to the counter while it was packed, and I was being nice and letting everyone ahead of me, but it just made me look worse and the girl at the counter looked familiar. As you have guessed by now, my friend (who was with me coincidentally) pointed out (AFTER, mind you) that the girl was the same girl from the picture. This was horrifying as this other dude in line was eyeing me off like I was some dirty old man, even though I was like 20 years his juniour. And the girl at the counter just looked at me as if I was scum. Haha there goes that chance!

Haha it was just a comedy of errors, and my city effect comes back to bite me in the ass. It's all connected to me I just know it! Hopefully it won't ever happen again (I hope)! Anyway, have a nice day folks!

I'm Thrown!

I apologise for my absence, but with my golden entries lately, I thought I would be forgiven. It's good to see the others are having fun while overseas (as long as they get back in one piece)!

So my dear bear is not able to be fixed!! The only place in my city that specialises in repairs says they are unable to do it out of fear of destroying it completely!! Damn them! Now I have to hope it holds together for the rest of my life. I don't know what their problem is, it only needs a re-stuffing and a re-stitching and everything will be peachy!! But they can't even do that! Talk about letting the consumer down, bad for economics I say!

It almost killed me, but after many weeks of watching 2 (sometimes 3) movies a day, I have finally finished my movie block!! I had to watch Banlieue 13 (a french film) with no subtitles but I still understood a bit of what was going on, I also watched Tom Yoong Gong (a Thai film) with no subtitles, I had no idea what was going on but damn the action was sweet and Tony Jaa is a machine!!! So all that's really left now is to watch some of the tv shows I have stocked up (even though I've seen most of the eps) so that shouldn't take too long. I also have 3 various G3 concerts, as well as a crap load of instructional videos!! Speaking of, made up some new songs (instrumental wise), as well as finished up some old ones that I have been working on for yonks so I am very pleased.

I was informed by a friend who told me that he googled my name and found 2 items that are actually about me!! I was scared, even more so when I was told that my voice is online!!! How scary is that?? I even checked for myself and he was telling the truth! Damn internet.

Well it's early December which means High Schoolers and College kids have finished for the year and are out monopolising shopping centres, movie theatres, restaurants, nightclubs, bus interchanges, dark alleys and suburbs for the summer. That's so stupiddd! My friend suggested a friday no child policy or curfew, I thought this was a brilliant idea and should be enacted by the local legislature! Damn children!

Also damn Berri Pulp Free Orange Juice!! I am addicted!!! They make it taste sooo damn good. I wouldn't be surprised if it had MSG! The only other stuff I drink is the occasional glass of water, and on Fridays and Saturdays one 350ml bottle of Vanilla Coke. So this means in summer I am getting 7 hits of OJ a day, it's too much, but I can't get enough!

I have been reading through our old blog notes (there is a HELL of a lot of stuff I tell you), and it's interesting just to see how much I've changed, even in a short span of just two years. Still getting through stuff, I'm only a few months through.

So what's the good news you ask? I can't count! That's correct, I cannot! As a result of my foolishness, I realised I actually get to graduate at the end of 2007, so I am one happy person thank you very much!!! I get to graduate with all my friends and I even have a much more reduced workload over the year so I am sitting pretty thank you very much!! Muhaha, I feel good!! It also means I get to have 2 graduation ceremonies next year as I will have done both my degrees, yay!

Have a nice day folks! OH OH OH! I realised there is a few more additions to the patented Joaquin Rate List (JRL), and they shall be added as soon as humanly possible (since I'm on hols and oh so very lazy, this may be a while, but I'll try)! That's it for today.

Politics....REALLY?

Greetings readers. Man it's been a long time since i last posted anything. Enjoying myself back i the motherland, as is knaves. Visiting the green fairy often as we r on vacation, which i had badly needed, as in the vacation.LOL. Yea so been up to alot. Checking out a lot of the new places around Dhaka. Some decent, some abhorent and some just filthy. Shit load to do nowadays. On the other hand, its hard goin out without fearing for ur life. The political scene is just crazy, ppl trying to kill eachother over gaining THE POWER, so that they can steal more money, instill more corruption, kill more people, and steal some more money. Arrite lemme break B NP had served its tenure, there had been a smoothe transition of the handing of power from the ruliing party to the caretaker government. After the transition, the awami league suggested that BNP had put its own henchmen on the seat of the caretaker government, thus the CEC, according to the AL was a strong supporter of BNP. AL went on to protest, ordering for the resignation of the CEC, a change in the EC as well as recounting the voters list. They suggested that they would go on continuous strike, which they have, until their requirements were met.

In Bangladesh, ppl have a very acute sense of what a dialogue is. Their best remedy of political disagreement is violence, going on strike, and killing ppl left and right. For crying out loud, they were showing ppl being beaten to the death by police battons on TV. Blood spilling everywhere. Eat ur heart out "WORLDS MOST AMAZING VIDEOS".

Anyways, enough blabbering on about politics. Later ppl.
