Digging my Grave

There are just some times that a hole should be dug and I should just jump in there and pull the dirt over me. Yes, today is one of those days.

I'm wondering if there was a full moon last night. There were multiple car accidents en route to work this morning. Not only that, people seem to be a bit more aggressive........weird.

In due Fairness

Alright, I guess I should at least make a post on Sai Moon

Sai·Moon (n. Sahi·Moon;)
- noun
1. Name of a person; Sai Moon Hing, character in a two novels that was a sex maniac, both were killed
2. The glutious maximus
3. A residential area during the Spring and Autumn Period

I'm actually out of ideas already...guess I'm not that much of something....sob sob sob.....

As a small joke that this was, it would seem that it was in bitter taste.

Apologies.

Tippity-Tappity-Type

As my fingers cruise over the keys of the nc6400, all that you can hear are the tap dancing fingers around the room. The office has been converted into a dance studio of a few hundred people that all dance to a different beat. No one dance is the same one. Once in a while, the dancer decides to leap from the pad and over to the rodent where the dance is a solo work of art of shifts, scrolls and clicks.

I look over to my right and discover that the dance has somehow stopped there. The show has ended and the dancers have left the stage. The clock has struck 5 and one by one, the dancers file out.

I am left here to continue to dance. I feel that I want to continue dancing.......maybe to a different beat. A dance that has been continuing every day for the past days. A dance that will not stop till the pain goes away.

Today is brought to you by the letter V

Voluptiously Venting Vastly Varies....ok...I give up......geeeeze....

Well, today is the 2nd day of commercialism that is aimed towards all the pairs out there in the world. Truthfully, couldn't everyday be Valentine's? Wait...but then I'd go broke easily...or my significant other would just find me boring with no new ideas.........hmmm...so on second thought.........February 14th.....once a year seems good to me......

At the end of the day I'm another day older.....

We are nearing the end of the earthquake. Pieces are slowly going back into place and our shamble of sand will be replaced with a beautiful castle on the beach. At least that's what I'm thinking. It's been a very long journey and a long battle but I believe the war is not over and there is still a long looooooong tunnel to travel. The casualties have been noted and I'm still waiting for a phoenix to rise from the ashes.

So in the past two weeks, I've been going to the local University's concerts. There was a Violin Concerto, and tonight I went to a Piano soloist. Most of the pieces played were new age....modern pieces. It was not my cup of tea. I was very impressed with how agile the player's fingers were. They danced across the keyboard, and at times it was as if he was releasing all his anger and rage onto the poor keyboard. I do believe that he did an excellent job, but I'm not too sure I appreciate the score selection. There was one set of "studies", they were the American Prelude. The preludes had titles such as: Sadness, Tribute to Aaron Copeland, Tribute to....I forget. Very very interesting 3-5 minute preludes. His final selection was called Flaming...something......and I could see the fire coming from his hands and also the grand piano was dancing too...it was like watching the piano tuned up like one of those cars in a MTV I've seen. **Bouncy Bouncy**

Tomorrow will be a full day of training......I wonder if I'll be awake enough for it.

1-and-2-and-3-and-4-and......

So for today, in my lack of sleep state, I was able to go through a good 7.5 hours of SJA training. By the end of the period, I believe my mind was already in a mush state. I think I went into autopilot when I was asked to perform a series of "case scenarios". I went so badly into autopilot that I was actually physically doing a certain action, but my mind wasn't there at all to really do any controlling. I was in the state like in the morning when I get to work...I ofter think...did I lock the car door? I have no recollection of doing it, and I just feel so lost. Exactly the same thing happened to me when I was doing the case. I went to a point where the officer told me that I fell into his trap. I snapped out of my daze and all I could do was think..."What was I doing? Where am I??!?!?! What the F....?!" Ok, I was litterally thinking all of the way from the training facility to the station....what in the world was I doing....what was the case...what did I do wrong.......?.....damn I hate that feeling.

So I'm going to try to catch some shuteye tonight. Tomorrow is a new week..............and there was much rejoicing......

Zug Zug......

Yes...this is a REALLY early blog. I've been rolling in bed for the past 2 hours. There's just a lot of things I've been thinking of lately. Maybe due to the lack of sleep, I've been much less tolerable to annoyances and my brain also doesn't want to shut down.

I've been having lots of dreams lately, I don't remember a single one of them, but I know I had dreams. This is a sign that I'm not really sleeping, my brain is still quite active.

What does one do to calm down? I used to think that sitting down with a good book will do the job. Sometimes a bit of physical exersion can also do the trick.

My body really feels tired and wants to rest, but my brain isn't letting my body do that. I'm at the point where I think I might start hallucinating. WhuWasZat?...........

Urrrr?......Zug Zug.........wutchuwantmetodo?..........wutchuwantmetokeel?..........MRLLLLLLLLlllllllLLLLlllllll

The Hunt for Lost Domain

For the past 2 weeks, I've been going on a wild goose chase on the net to findout where my domain has gone. The original domain was regitered with company SUX (won't give the real one for reasons....). So SUX went bankrupt last year but just told us that our questions will be answered but another domain SUXOR. I've emailed SUXOR and they told me they actually are just a reseller and they've sold our account to SUXSUX. SUXSUX told me that they sold it to SUXMUCH. ........

So after a long chase, I finally asked my web guru friend Winnie "Who's the main owner? How can I find out?" She gave me the WHOIS link and I quickly pulled up a lot of valuable information.

I know how much I hate going on a tangent here but I really need to say this......OMFG!!!! I was able to pull up the original owner of the domain, the admin, tech, anyone that was linked to this domain. I know where that person lives, their phone number, their email.....and this was just typing in my domain at WHOIS. Isn't there some kind of privacy act that prevents this from happening? Or is there some bill C666 that says "all domain hosts and admins will have their private life broadcasted online."

Well, back to the chase. Finally I found from WHOIS that the base holder of my domain is TooKaus (company also masked for personal reasons....but you can guess it.....really you can...). So I emailed them to ask......who is one I need to contact to straighten things up with my domain. Alright, this is where I got a little pissed. I didn't get a response saying "Thank you for your hate mail, we'll have someone look into it and respond to you in the next decade." I just got dead air for a week and a bit. Finally I got a response today, I was all giddy and excited. They told me exactly who runs my domain. Now I can finally rest a bit waiting for my next email about how I should transfer my domain to another provider.........

I'm first on the list

Wow, this is very facinating. Maybe this is something to do with Google's searching ability. I think I'm the first on the list when I look for my name in Google. This makes it finding my blog pretty easy. Only problem is then........everyone know's who this is....dangit...ha ha ha.

Well, this is a bad turn of events then. I think I'm going to have to be careful what I post up here.....afterall...this IS the Internet. But who'd be interested in little 'ol me....

Tagged again?....WHU?

Alright, I just got tagged again with another list...I'll see what I'll do with this one.

Rules of the Game:
1. The tagged victim must come up with 10 different points of their perfect bf/gf.
2. Need to mention gender of target.
3. Tag 8 victims to join this game & leave a comment saying they've been tagged.
4. If tagged again, there's no need to post a 2nd time.

1. Taboo question....very dangerous to blog about
2. Target = female
3. again........tag usually ends with me.....so.......oh well
4. .....no response.

So there you have it, I'm IT and forever IT as it is.

Ok, just a bit more of my childhood here.
So back in grade 5, I used to have this wonderful APPLE IIe...yeah baby..those things ran off of floppies. So there were 3 games that I loved on there and (maybe someone will make a remake of these).
1) Number Munchers - you could choose from different menus: Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide. Then there is a 4 by 4 grid of numbers and a topic on the top. You have to munch the numbers that correspond to the topic (i.e. all multiples of 3). I was the master at this.........
2) Oregon Trail - yes, I believe many people have played this before. You start with a family (Mom, Dad, 3 children). You are moving from a location to the next. You only have a limited amount of resources, so you have to buy ammo to hunt, or buy food, or fix your wagon. I think I usually end up drowning at the river most of the time...or at least I lose most of the family.
3) Some Fish Game - You start off as a really really small fish and you eat and eat and soon you become a huge fish. Yes....quite simple that way, just need to remember that birds and humans are out to catch you.
So these started me off into my little world of computer gaming. From that time on, I've moved onto more graphically oriented games......like World of Warcraft!!!!! Tis burning.....tis BURNING!!!!!

Me Me.....wait...I'm not part of that club....

I guess that since I'm inhaling my lunch right now, I should try to blog...or reblog..for the......50 billioth time. I have these waves of blogs..then stop...then blogs then halt........
Well, this is my wave of blogs that I'm starting again.

Considering in the blog world, Monday may be considered "Me Me Monday", I guess I'll blog a bit of something about me.

As some people know, I'm not really a banana......as people may call "us"....aka Yellow out, White inside.

So this happened to me in grade 6. I remember my teacher Ms. O'Leary, she was our homeroom teacher. There was one lunch break when I was eating lunch with my friends Brian and Justin when Brian threw some joking comment at me and I just sat there and smiled because there was no point in retaliating. I just continued to eat my lunch. Ms. O'Leary caught wind of it and decided that she would speak up against that comment. So Ms. O'Leary walked over and said "Should you stand up for yourself?" So me being a very VERY sarcastic person, I just stood up and said, "Ok, I've stood up." and continued to smile. Alright, that was a BAHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhd move on my part. The next thing I knew, right after lunch, Ms. O'Leary said that I should see some teacher. So I took my books and walked over to the other teacher's place (her name escapes my mind).

Anyhow, the teacher (let's just call her Ms. Perry for now) sat me down and said "Ms. O'Leary says that you may have some trouble with grasping the English langauge." My looks betrayed me and I must've gave her the "WTF? huh?" look. So she quickly said "Just for the sake of Ms O'Leary, I have some questions for you." So on she went with metaphors, simalies, yadda yadda. We spent the whole afternoon dealing with "What is a green-thumb? What is the meaning of "standing up for yourself"? What is a noun?" yes, it was a bit humiliating I thought. After I got all of those "correct" as it seems, Ms. Perry finally asked me, "So why did you just stand up?" I told her "I was being playful and sarcastic." So she just laughed and sent me on my way back to class.

After that little experience, it seems that I was good enough to "help" the ESL teacher. I became a transaltor for Ms. Perry for the remainder of the year.

Wow, this brings back a lot of memories...........wish I was still a kid.....

Blog Tag, I'm IT....for now....

Alright, so my good friend Winnie has tagged me and I think I should just play along with the game here. I'm supposed to write 5 things about myself (supposedly that people don't know) and then pass it along and tag 5 other people. I have a feeling some people may have been tagged already..but I can still tag them again...and again...and again.....you get my drift.
Without further adieu......that's correct spelling right?.....hmmm.....

1) Although born and raised in Canada, my natural language is not English it is actually Cantonese.
2) I had to go to ESL for 2 years (because the teacher believed my control of the English language was not good enough) (I think I'll blog about this some day)
3) I think my tearducts malfunction.....I tend to cry much easier than most males.....I think......damn..Bamby's mother.....di....di....die....died......WAHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
4) Hukt on Fonix did not work for me, I have trouble saying things phonetically...hence my spelling isn't the best either....
5) Some people in Elementary school thought that I was from Hong Kong and still does not know that I'm born in Canada.

All right, it's time for me to bounce these over to. Unfortunatly, I don't really read a lot of other people's blogs, so I guess........tag kinda ends here. Sorry Winnie....I'm a dud here. But thanks, I can maybe start blogging again....maybe...just maybe.......

This is getting too Silly!

It's been over a week since my last post.......actually, I think it's closer to 2 weeks right now. For all those that didn't know, my brother is now officially off the market. As of this passed Sunday (Sept. 3, 2006), my bro has a shiney ring on his 4th finger....OOOOOoooooo....AAAHHHHhhhhh.....

Well, I wanted to post this piece since two weeks ago because it was just too funny to pass up. There was a man that hijacked a car in the suburbs via the GTA style, run up to the car, open the door, fling the driver out and take the car. For those that don't know about the SUPER-DUPER-contrivertial game GTA (Grand Theft Auto), then you might not quite understand the whole "taking a car" thing. Anyhow, this guy grabs a car, drives it onto the highway, collides into the curb, get's out, attempts to jack another car, FROM THE HIGHWAY (going at 100km/h). After attempting to do so on 5 cars, he finally get's one and is then proceeded by a chase scene with cops, sirens and a helicoptor. Finally the cops catch up and catch the man. And the guilty man pleaded that he was only trying to get to his parole officer..........ok...at this point...I'm thinking.......right....you get to the parole officer in a stolen vehical.............lemme think about that one for a sec............YOU NUTZ?!?!?!?!

In other news, the iconic Australian gentleman ironically died of what he's famous for this passed Monday. The croc-man (Steve Irwin) was stung by a deadly poisonous tail of a ray while he was filming the reefs. A sad day indeed, I will miss him....and all the parody's that movies and SNL makes on him.

In the news today, there were two things that caught my attention. The first is, some mom decided to go on strike after she couldn't cope with her 3 kids. The kids refuse to help with house chores and does not heed to anything the mother says. Ok....lemme see here...........wouldn't her kids just do the same later in life.......if they want something...they'll just go on strike? This world is round.....what goes around.....comes around.

The second piece is some study perormed by the University suggests that scrubbing or cleaning ourselves (with water and soap) actually clears our guilt and sins. Alright.......hmmm......WHOO-HOO...........wait.........I know.....so it's the new confessions corner. Just walk into the privacy of the bathroom, stare into the mirror...and start SCRUBBING!!!!!

That's just silly....this is getting too silly......stop that...........stop it now......

Vulcan's vice grip on the computer

For the past few strips at one of my favorite online comic sites, they've been teaching the community about online ("trash") talk. A few days ago, they were discussing the difference between "newb" and "n00b" For anyone out there, newb's are users that are green to the field and need some lovin. n00b on the other hand are arseholes the love to trashtalk and just needs a good clear view of the backside of my hand. Today's venue was a a discussion about a way that online gamers use to show up other people in online shooter games. This is called (viewers discression is advised) "TEABAGGING". Well, I'd like to draw the attention to the final panel where the dude is holding a cup and dipping away. Yes.....dipping away.........very subtle....but dominates the rest of the panel. *crouch crouch crouch crouch crouch*

Alright, last night, after using my company's "discount" I bought cheap tickets to watch Lord of the Rings theatrical. I got really good seats, 6th row from the front, I was able to see all of the costumes in detail and the facial expression......and the backstage people getting ready.......stage right. There was some singing, dancing, slapstick comedy, lots of flashing things and confetties blowing around. The costumes and the stage was designed very very well I believe. Unfortunately, we only got the understudies for last night's show. They weren't all that good I think. The only really good actor was Smeagol/Gollum, he was at least a 11/10 on my scale. He was the only person that got the entire crowd to scream, whistle, cheer, stand. Legolas was a bit.........on the chubby and non-agile side (I think Orlando Blooms has really gotten into everyone's mind). Oh, I had one really really bad point to sitting so close to the stage. During many "elf" scenes, they wanted to have a bunch of "females" dancing...but I found out that 50% of them were drags.....yes.....guys in wigs and dresses and lipstick and stuff......kinda grossed me out a bit.
The story was very interesting. They did 80% of the first book, 30% of the second book and then the third book they totally just skipped and said that Frodo had the ring at the pool of fire/lava. Well, I guess they had 15% of the thrid book intact.
For anyone who's watched Clerk's 2, the dude did a very good representation of LotR Theatrical.............All in all, I think I'd give it a 6/10 doors for the good decorations and Gollum.

Underworld God being demoted

In recent discoveries, a group of scientists called a meeting with many more scientists to vote on what this decade may be known for..............the demotion of our final planet in our known Solar System.......Pluto. This small, icy mass of land was deemed unworthy of being a plant and has been demoted to a "dwarf planet". Sooooooo...all of our textbooks will need to be rewritten and everyone will need to go through a little phase of reprogramming. *waving hand horizontally while saying "There is no Pluto"*

In consolation to having Pluto demoted to a dwarf, we've gained another dwarf around the size of Pluto. It's the 2003 UB313, formerly known as the thing behind Pluto the ex-planet.

What I don't understand is how people can pay a group of scientists to name a star. How do I know for sure that my star hasn't been claimed by someone else? I'd really love to hear about some court case about verdict B scamming victim A of 20k for naming a star and finding out that someone else in the world has actually claimed that star already. Really........how would that case go?
"I paid this person 20k to name that star...sorry...evidence A.......and we have found out that someone else has named that same star something else. I need 5 billion dollars in compensation for my traumatic experience of losing out on my favorite star......evidence A."
riiiight.....

I just finished Dirge of Cerberus, the "sequel" of FFVII made by Square Enix. It's a shooter game (the first for Square Enix I believe) staring the mysterious character Vincent Valentine. Vincent (if people didn't know) has a daemon in him called Chaos (when released will cause......yes...Chaos........). DoC explains a lot about Vincent's past and how he become the daemon he is. At the beginning when I first heard the English voice actor for Vincent, I thought it was David Hayter because of the deep deep voice. The actual voice talent for Vincent is Steven Jay Blum. He dubbed the voice for my all time favorite Gundam character, Char Aznable. The game itself was ok, it was very easy to control and the customization of the guns was pretty good. All the CG's were in the same style as FFVII: Advent Children. All of the FFVII cast only plays a small role (except Yuffie, which as at least 5 more scenes than the other people like Cloud and Tifa). The ending is already posted on YouTube for anyone that wants to just spoil themselves, but the plot is fairly well written. Overall, the storyline was just below par, character development was weak, and gameplay wasn't all that exciting. I can really only give this a 6/10 doors because it had really kick arse CG and because it was made by Squard Enix. Oh, the voice over talent in English wasn't too bad either, I would've prefered the original Japanese voice as an option and then English subs.

Next thing I'm looking forward to will be FFXII, looks very very promising.

I Scream Day

Today is yet another Wednesday. Every Wednesday since the beginning of August, my company started the Ice Scream treatment program. Our wonderful CTO decided that we should be given a pat on the back and some nice treats on the side. Everyone here in the building get's a coupon that allows us to redeem any product from the ice cream truck below $2.50. I'm saying he's a genius, we may have around 100 employees here so that's $250 a week or a max of 1k a month. That's very little to keep people all energized and happy. People here are all going...AGHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it's ICE CREAM WEDNESDAY!!!!!! YEAH!!! YIPPIE!!!! 3-cheers for.........ICE CREAM!!!!! My condolences to those that are lactose intolerant. And there was much rejoicing.

In other news, I was kinda screaming with the rest of the world when I read that the Swedish news program had pr0n shown on it. So how did it happen? Well, some of the workers were watching the "sports" stuff on one of the TVs in the background of the newscast but forgot to change the channel. The same network company actually shows soft core movies on a separate channel during the time when this channel show's the news (so why would people want to watch the news then?!?!?!......). So bascially they had 5 minutes of pr0n showing LIVE on air..........yeah, you got it...all heck broke loose.

Entertainment wise, Hilton, Ms. Scandel 04/05/06, has told the media how she actually chooses friends. I'm flabergasted.......absolutely blown away. She says that she will go to a clothing store, pick out one outfit she likes and one that is ugly then ask the "friend" for an opinion. If the "friend" chooses the ugly one, Hilton will not be friends with this person anymore. Talk about materialistic and anal. But then again, ain't it a 50/50 chance to get it right? Maybe Hilton has a followup question of..."Why'd you choose this one?" and if they answer that "they just liked it...." it would be a basis to also not be friends.........

As the saying goes, "You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but don't EVER pick your friend's nose." AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhh....ewwwwwwwwwwwww

Expired

I just realized that I bought a bottle of Pommegranate Juice that is past the due date. Ok, it's only past the due date by 3 days, but that's still quite a lot. I would expect that my local store would check the due dates. I guess it should be ok, as long as I drink it all up by today. I don't really recall the last time getting over due stuff, but I do remember having milk that was WAY WAY WAY past it's life expectancy. Not a pretty sight...smell....or taste.........yeah........

So last night while doing some wedding planning with my co-MC, we kinda sidetracked onto a weird topic. We went through some 80's cartoons and had some questions (which some of them were often asked). Smurfs have been on my #1 for questioning. How in the world did the procreate? Ok, do a search on Google or some other search engine (there is another one?!?!?...really?) for "How do smurfs procreate" and you'll find millions and billions of hits. I really need to get a life I think.

Inspector Gadget, the cyborg guardian. At first, I was wondering how he actually procreated and had Penny.....who was the wife?!?!?....and he's a cyborg...how'd he..........ok...this was all answered after I quickly Wiki'd Gadget. It seems that I was wrong, Penny is actually his niece and hence her calling him "Uncle Gadget"............stupid me. But I'm still baffled by the intelligent dog Brain....."Woof woof bargh woof bark.."......"Yes Brain, Uncle Gadget is being stalked by a 70 foot tall MAD monkey that's a transvestite durian eating dip-SH*T!......OMG Brain........such profanity.....no more splif for you tonight...."............

Wow, I just read in the newspaper that someone in Brittain is actually petitioning against Starbucks from openning a store in his neighbourhood. He calls Starbucks a "cancer". It's spreading like wildfire around the world. They ARE the next generationg McD's I believe. The only difference is that McD's is good for all ages, while Starbucks doesn't have any happy meal toys. So Starbucks, if you're wanting to expand into new domains, start giving out Caffie-Meals with little toy figures of their new kiddie spokespeople, Donald Starbucks the coffee king (has his own card game like Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon), Twitch the espresso fanatic, Latte Gals, and much much more.

Riddle me this, riddle me that

For the past LOOONG little while, I've been doing a lot of newspaper puzzles. Since highschool, I worked on daily crosswords, JUMBLEs and sorts. The latest and greatest newspaper fad is the Sudoku. This thing has totally taken a spin of its own. Not only do I see 70% of the people in transit doing on, they're now making them in different shapes and sizes.

A collegue of mine decided that he'd spend a Sunday afternoon to program a Sudoku solver. Ok, my thought on that.......great.....now that you have an AI for that, you can be ranked Gifted Sudoku GOD cuz you've completed all the puzzles in less than 10 seconds. I do applaud for his skills in programming this, but I thought Sudoku's are nice puzzles to let you burn some time and also strengthen your brain muscles. Oh well.

So I was checking something online and saw that Movies are now into the Sudoku world. There are Sudokus that are based on movie themes. WTF?!?!? Ok, this world's commercialism is REALLY out of wack. So basically this version...let me find the quote...."We totally took regular sudoku puzzles, got rid of those safe 3-by-3 squares, and replaced them with "deadly snakes."" So, I'm going to take a while guess that people know which movie this is from. I wonder if Jackson get's any royalties for this.....actually, I wonder if the snakes get any royalties for this. And this puzzle book is called "Snakes on a Sudoku" Splittahs!!!!!!

Survey Says........

Once in a while we'll see these "TOP X of Y", and today I saw one of those on our friendly MSN/Sympatico page. The one I read was "Top 5 reasons your gf wants to dump you". Well, after reading that, I'm pretty much inclined to put up my smirky version.

1. She slaps you and says "We're through"
2. She catches you sleeping with her sister.....proceed to 1.
3. She catches you sleeping with her brother............also proceed to 1.
4. She's sleeping with your brother...............I think you get the picture for that one.
5. She kicks you in the family jewels with sharp high-heels, calls you a bastard and leaves

I think those are definate signs. I think they're pretty clear signs too. If you keep to this guide, you'll always know when your gf is giving you the signal that she wants to dump you.
