A Lovely lady indeed

This is the hell girl, if you were curious. Pretty, in a dark way.

A sad people are we

Yesterday, I watched an episode of an anime series called 'Jigoku Shoujo' which basically transalates into 'Hell Girl'. The basic concept is if you have been wronged in any way and are suffering enough to hate the person that caused your suffering, you log on to the web at midnight and go to the 'Hell Hotline' and you post the name of the person you wish revenge upon. The 'Hell Girl' then appears in front of you and hands you a voodoo doll with a red string tied on it. She then says that if you wish for your tormentor to be eliminated, simply untie the string. However there is a catch, as soon as you do this you enter a contract with her. The one you seek revenge upon will be immediately taken to hell. But as a price you must make her restitution. When one person is cursed, two graves are dug. When you die, your soul will fall into the pit of hell. Your soul shall wander forever in pain and suffering, never knowing paradise.
The concept, if a bit cliche, intrigued me. I had a morbid need to know the situations which would lead to the summoning og the 'Hell Girl'. So I proceeded to eatch a couple more episodes to see the events unfold. After watching nad contemplating, it amazed me how clever we are at causing pain to others. As a race we are base creatures, creatures of desire and impulse. There are ofcourse exceptions few and far in between, but that is all they are exceptions.
There is a tale told of whole lot of frogs caught by a fisherman and put into a tub without a lid. There was no need for a lid because, if one frog trid to climb out, the others pulled it down, whereas if they had worked together, they could have avoided becoming some frenchman's dinner.
This can be made as an analogy to the human race. When somebody succeeds we try to drag then down and if we cannot, we lust after what they have and wallow in our darker emotions. I would be a hypcrite if I said I wasn't the same, but I have come to an epiphany lately.
I don't particularly believe in hell, or religion ofr that matter, but there is one thing which governs us all: Karma. Sooner or later your sins will catch up to you, and you shall reap what you have sown. When you feel hate, jealousy or any of the darker emotions towards another person, a little piece of your own soul dies along with it. We shouldn't waste time lusting after what we don't have and concentrate on waht we want to do. After all if one walks looking up into the sky, one is likely to stumble and fall, and as fickle as the fates are it would probably be face first into a big pile of doodoo. Joking aside, I feel a quote from 'Hell Girl' is very appropriate for this train of thought. When one is cursed, two graves are dug.

Sleep....meh

Anime!!! AAAAAAAARGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

A recent wave that has struck out from Japan, with the force of 'ten thousand blistering typhoons' in the words of the immortal Captain Haddock from Tintin, is anime.
Japanese animated cartoons which cover a variety of subjects and genres. They include some of the best action scens, most perverted and laugh out loud funny humour, drama, awesome plot lines I have had the good fortune to have seen.
The sheer number of differsnt anime out there is a lso a testament ot its popularity both in its mother country as well as outside. Anime has become a major form of entertainment for people from many age groups and the rise of the 'Otaku' has been confirmed(Otaku being a fan of anime).
Personally, anime has replaced everything else as my prefered form of electronic entertainment. And I must say at one point and time I was bit by the Otaku bug quite badly. After a while it has begun to lose its hold on me, but I still appreciate anime very much. I would recommend trying out anime for anybody. They have action, romance, comedy, suspense and best of all scantily clad ladies all of whom are strikingly good looking specimens of the fairer sex.
So, if I have caught your attention, please do try it out. Its not going to hurt you, though I am not responsible if you get hooke yourself. You have been warned.

Excuse Me.

It has come to my attention that there are quite a few typos on this blog. Sorry about his, but I'm too busy(koff lazy koff koff) to correct the posts. So I'll just apologise, but if in fact you are in control of all your mental faculties, I assure you you're brain(meagre as it is) will compensate and let you read what was supposed to be read. For the unfortunate few that do not have said contol over yourself, tough luck.

Truer words were never spoken.

Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

Oh no!! Whats this?! Another quote!!

I don't mind their having a lot of money, and I don't care how they employ it, but I do think that they damn well ought to admit they enjoy it.

- Ogden Nash

I dont like to be a person without a face....

Its is true that a picture speaks a thousand words. So no matter how much I write, it wont make the same impact unless you see who I am to see what I am about.
No, not really, that was all just B.S. I just wanted to post my pic!
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
(aint I a stinker?)

Horizons.....so many...so far apart.

I was catching a ride from Oakville to Missisagua to get to a party, when after remarking on the very beautiful lady in the car next to us and generally being a perverted man, I looked in front and noticed the wide open road in front of me. And then my eyes took in the wide horizon far in the .... well horizon.
It made me very sad for some reason. I dont know exactly why it invoked such feelings in me, perhaps it made me all of a sudden feel very small. It made me think of the wide horizons I always see whenever driving in Dubai, it made me think of the many horizons I have yet to see and experience. The world is such a huge place in itself, but comparing it to the ginormous universe it resides in, it is but a small, insignificant little speck of dust.
It makes me want to see all the horizons that I have'nt seen yet. I want to see the places that these horizons will lead me to. I want to go the the end of all the horizons. People say there is a pot of gold at the ens of a rainbow. I now think it will be at the end of the horizon, and the pot of gold, is the culmination of all the experiences that are gathered along the way.
And I can only imagine what some of the horizons on other palnets would look like. Imagine seeing the earth rise from the red plains of Mars. That just makes me imagine what all the other horizons look on other worlds. Its so sad, yet refreshing to know that there is still so much to sse in this world, and so much that I have'nt seen yet.

Equality for the Sexes. Meh....

For as long as I can remember, women have been going on & on about being the same respect and treatment that men get. Equality for the sexes as it were. Bullshit. So far to my experience, limited as it may have been, women tend to conveniently forget this whenever they want to.
There is more I want to say on the subject but I shall desist. Not because I fear debate on my views but of fear for my delicate body. You see I have a couple of female friends who shall we say have no apparent respect for the more delicate parts of the male anatomy and personal space.
After all, I am a firm believer of the saying "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned".
Perhaps later, when I am clear of the danger of being drunk, passed out & unable to defend myself from the women who have been glaring lasers at my back as I write this. Muahahahahahahah!!(evil laugh)

Fuck it!! I feel like another quote!!

Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.

Quote Time!!

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

Am I kind? Am I Selfless?

Earlier on today, as I woke up I saw a ball lying out in the backyard. Obviously belonging to some kid who had thrown it just a little too far in trying to imppress his friends (or so I imagine).
Now I completely ignored it as I had a desperate urge to answer nature's call, and by the time I finished my lunch, I completely forgot about it. Later on though, I see it again and I go out back to toss into the schoolyard beyond the fence. BUt then I realise if I do that, the chances of the ball going back to its rightful owner are small to nil. So I decide that I would walk over to the school ( a primary school by the way) and drop pf the b-ball in their lost and found. When I did this I was praised by a couple of the teachers saying that was a very kind thing to do, how noble yada yada yada. The whole shebang. And ofcourse this whole episode had me feeling very good about myself. On the way back to the house though, while whistling the secong verse of 'the bear necessities', I had an epiphany. What if I had been doing these kind of things just to recieve the accompanied praiseall along? I was shocked. Not that I have'nt thought of this before, I believe that very few people do anything at all without looking after number 1, but htis time it was especially mindboggling (perhaps due to mental state at that time :It was freezing cold wind, bad headache and lack of sleep).
Has every kind act I've ever commited been to flatter myself in some small way? Perhaps, or maybe I just liked the feeling that runs through me when I do something nice for somebody else? I still am still a little confused about the situation, but for the sake of my faith in humanity I choose to believe that my reasons are altruistic(at best).

Who am I?

I live my life guided by two quotes.

. "Mors certa, Hora incerta" Death is certain, It's time incertain
. "Life is a comedy, It's all in the execution"

Life is too short to mope and sulk, and it is far too dangerous to leap into it without restraint and caution.
Life is neither black nor white, but full of glorious grays. Every shade from dazzling white to pitch black exists. It would do good to take heed to this.
If you enter life completely trustful, your naivete will afford you a broken heart and an empty wallet. And yet if you enter life entirely wary, you are doomed to an empty and unfulfilled existence.
Humility is a quality that is vital to humanity. For there will always be someone better than you are, and all you can do is to strive to be better. And anyway, I personally would find perfection quite boring. It is the imperfections in life that I find beautifull. They allow me to appreciate a new dawn, the thunder in a rainstorm, the crisp smell of a new book, my friends, a hot coffe when I wake up, the delight of good conversation, the beauty of women. If everyone were perfect, how would we appreciate anything?
So as this is said, I prepare. With a grain of salt in my mouth, a shot of tequila in one hand, a bowl of fried rice in the other, a good book in my pocket, headphones filled with good jazz, and equipped with a fine sarcastic wit I will sail the uncharted waters that are my life.

I only wish

I only wish this were my case. As I read the poem, it shook my soul and made me envious. If there exists such a person, and I am sure there are a few if not many, it is this type of person that all should ry and emulate.

" I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul. "

These two lines especially, are the ones that hit me as the most profound. In the world we live in today, there are very few who can claim these lines as their own. Oh many will repute that statement, but they are trying to fool themselves.

You may agree or disagree with this as you will, if you choose to go with the latter option I only have one thing ot say to you.
You have wasted 5 minutes of your life reading something that you dont agree with and now you can never get those 5 minutes back, congratulations.

My title explained.

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.

It matters now how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.

A poem by William Ernest Henley
