One of the most random things I've ever come across

The link says it all.

There are of course numerous youtube clips. Also there are air sex GROUPS. That's rather a worry.

I just realised that I own a pair of socks that are labelled L & R. Like holy shit! I wanna see if the world implodes or whether I get transported to a lesbian cloud where all the hot ladies are lesbian, but want to experiment with me, if I decide to wear the R sock on my left foot and vice versa! OMG!!!!!!!!!!

I nominate this as one of the most useless labels ever. 

In other news, I just jailbroke my ipod touch. Except now I have NFI what to do next! 

natural light, get it off!

Being self-imposed housebound for the last week or so has sucked. Illness is such a chore; it consumes so much of your energy, spirit and willpower to do things, your enthusiasm to shine, your ability to to break out and carpe diem and all that. I've just wanted to lie in bed, migrate to the PC, and headed out to the grocery store to stock up on soup. Lots of it. The Heinz Very Special range is surprisingly good! For $3 a can, can't go wrong.

I used to get over colds and flus really quickly as a kid. Couple of days tops and bam, back in it. I used to wear shorts to school and it'd be like 4-5 degrees and foggy. Now it seems I can't shake off colds for at least a week no matter what I try. I don't know why.

One of the "positive" aspects of being sick, I suppose, is that I've lost a bit of weight. I'm reminded of the so-called celebrity "diet" where in order to lose a few pounds people intentionally ate under-cooked chicken/pork to get e-coli or salmonella poisoning. A few days of diarrhoea, maybe a little vomiting, and voila, down a dress size. IDIOTS.

In this day and age of instant celebrity and the multitude of ways to get it- reality TV, being a blogstar/youtube star eg. Perez Hilton, I have to take a step back. Why do we worship these people so much? And why do their opinions on completely random topics carry so much weight?
And why are there so many trashy magazines dedicated to getting snaps of celebs looking 'ugly' for when they just want to go down the store and buy some bread and milk for chrissakes?

An example that comes to mind is Kanye West. A true celebrity because he is recognised for his talent- beatmaking and rapping. Never get it twisted- he is a beatmaker and producer first and foremost. I love his style. In a recent mixtape he released before Graduation was dropped, he recounts how someone asked him in an interview, whether he would vote for Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton in the Democratic candidacy.

Why ask him? I guess it's interesting to know different things about celebrities, know more about their lives than just what they're famous for, sure. To just get his opinion on an issue that affects the American nation, sure. But if at that moment he says the wrong thing, it'll get blown out of context and become a scandal, because he's a celebrity. It's like, as a celebrity must be able to keep right on the pulse of everything. Because you're a celebrity, you must know EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING. Your opinion is instantly more informed, more wise, more intelligent. You've become a god. But wtf.

Kanye goes on to say, well, I'm just interested in doing projects that are exciting and interesting to him. I don't really know that much about politics to make an informed statement. Good on him. Common sense prevails. Sure it's interesting to read what he'd have to say. But it's only his opinion in a field where he has no further advantages or insight than say, my hairdresser. My hairdresser ain't known all round the world, but her political opinion is probably more informed than Kanye's. So why aren't her passionate anti-Bush anti-McCain views a nationwide scandal?

PS> Has anyone else thought of putting Jon McCain's face on the McCain chips? That'd be funny.

My neighbours have a tree that overlooks my yard, in which are resident birds- I think they're either robins or miners, I've never been able to spot them. Anyway I have noticed over the past few weeks that there is one bird in particular that has developed a special skill.

Spring is in the air, it's heating up, everything is blooming and growing, and one would expect that the birds would start to put out their mating calls.

This bird is classic. In amongst all the tweeting, I could hear a distinctive "tweet tweet tweet Tweeeet Tweeeeet tweet tweet tweet". Where had I heard this phrase before? It was a little riff that I had heard many times before, but I couldn't quite pinpoint it. Until it hit me.

If any of you out there are still rocking an old skool Nokia mobile, like the 3210, 5110, even 8210 or 8250- remember the message tone? This bird has learnt to imitate the extended message tone of the nokia.

You can hear it almost without fail on a daily basis. It always brings a smile to my day whenever I hear it. I hesitate to imagine the success rate this bird has with its new mating call.... I wonder what David Attenborough would make of this fascinating new natural phenomenon. The impact of humans on the natural world rears itself in yet another unusual way..
