The problem with life - i dont know if you've noticed this - is that just as you approach a goal, someone moves the goal posts. In school, i wanted to be mistaken for a loner, someone different from everybody else. This could be achieved, II learnt, by growing my hair Long and wearing a pair of torn jeans would give that look. Unfortunately, the same elf had whispered in the ears of a few thousand others and all of us loners who wanted to be different wore our hair long and our jeans torn.
We looked like a scene out of a badly edIted war movie. Then came a period when the received wisdom was that you had to have a beard to be macho. Look at Hemingway, they said, although it was difficult to looK at a man who had been dead for decades.
Anyway, i begAn the project in pursuit of the hirsute. After living through Many months of jokes and shakes of the head i had the beginning of the start of the commencement of a beard when a new campaign informed us with great authority that potential brides preferred clean shaven men.
And then it hit me. i was going about it the wrong way. Forget the six packs withouth which no man is consider complete ; after All stomach muscles are just stomach muscles. Forget the hair which may or may not co-operate with the incipient of a bald patch. Dont run towards the goalposts, make the goalposts come to you
And thats why in the recent weeks ive been working really reaLly hard on my new goal, get a pot belly. Similarly with this lifestyle sedentary non exercising, fatty food can be helpful. The beauty of this scheme is that its easy to get and you dont have to try so hard. After all who wants to be told by some musguided spin doctor that girls prefer clean shaven six packed filled men? Take the choice out of the equation and pass the butter =)

Just some rules =) Enjoy your moment of zen!
Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!
Rule 2: The world doesn't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.
Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest esemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

I'm back =)
Hiya folks! Yes i know, i havent really blogged in a while, i was doing exams and i have a break so might as well put something worthwhile right?
Its been days since the New year but im still in that partying mood. I mean, it was really hard to do the exams when half the time youre day dreaming about your next party. So after the exams i went to the beach with friends for a BBQ as well as a chill out moment. It was quite fun considering i met new people and became more close to others.
Although the BBQ didnt really go my way. I wanted to be the one cooking the food and seem like the macho man. That though didnt really happen because i was trying to get the match lit let alone the coals. Then i really wanted to be with that special person on the beach and talk. Then lie down and just stare at the stars, although the clouds were hiding them from me. None of what i wanted happened and thats why i feel like i messed up the whole day. For once i want things to go my way without there being consequences.
Anyways enough about me, oh wait, this is MY blog, it is supposed to be about me. I dont know, im not really in a mood to write today =/
Sorry fellow bloggers and readers, ill catch up on todays work next week Friday.
Till then, CIAOO
