Ok ok,

I love to go to sports events. Love, love, love sports. Anybody running around in an outfit with a stripe on it, I want to watch them do it.

Take boxing, the simplest, stupidest sport of all. It’s almost as if these two guys are just desperate to compete with each other, but they couldn’t think of a sport. So they said, “Why don’t we just pound each other for forty-five minutes? Maybe someone will come watch that.”

It’s strange, two guys in shorts competing for a belt. They should award them slacks or a shirt, hell maybe even a hoodie.

The real problem is that you have two guys fighting who have no prior argument. They should have the boxers come into the ring in little cars, drive around a little bit, eventually there’s an accident. Then the boxing proper can begin. All i’m saying is, if they got to box, give them a valid reason to.

Cheers.
ps: Float like a butterfly, Sting like a bee.

Ok ok,

I just had a vision. A vision of how the rest of my life is going to be. And you know what? It takes place in the same outfit, behind the same desk, at the same location that I am currently at.

I just thought I would be going somewhere. Not just metaphysically and spiritually though that too, but also you know literally.

I always thought I was destined for great things like becoming the emperor of the whole world or being able to eat 100 hot dog buns in a single seating or even fighting it out with Chuck Norris one on one.

But no, too much work. I figure I’ll just keep doing what I do.

Cheers.
ps: Just, Boomsz!

Ok ok,

I have come to realise, after much after thought, soul searching and reflection that women have powers far beyond those of mortal men.

A woman from Dell Sales side left a message on my phone the other day, with kind of a breathy voice. And no matter what a woman says, if it’s in that breathy voice, it sounds so appealing.

A stewardess could lean over, whisper in my ear, “Would you put on your seatbelt? We’re about to crash into a mountain.” And I would go, “Really? So what are you doing later by the ruptured fuselage? What do you say we meet for some peanuts over by the black box? I’ll bring the cushions.”

Cheers.
ps: Maybe that’s why planes crash so much

Ok ok,

Its a blindfold kick back type of a game
Called the Kansas City Shuffle
Whereas you look left and they fall right
Into the Kansas City Shuffle

Its a they-think you-think you don’t know
Type of Kansas City hustle
Where you take your time
Wait your turn
And hang them up, and out to dry

Cheers.

Ok ok,

One way to end the relationship is adultery. Adultery. Now that’s a heavy thing. You can’t just have an adultery, you must commit adultery. But you can’t commit adultery unless you have a commitment. So you have to make the commitment before you can even think about committing it.

There’s no commit without the commit. Once you commit, then you can commit the adultery, then you can get caught, get divorced, lose your mind, and they have you committed.

But you know, some people actually cheat on the people that they’re cheating with, which is like holding up a bank and then turning to the robber next to you and going, “All right, give me everything you got, too.”

Cheers.
ps: 2010 – Adultery

ps: All i need now is the Airing of Grievances

Ok ok,

There are no choices. No Free will. There is nothing but a straight line.

The illusion comes afterward, when you ask ‘Why me?’ and ‘What if?’ , when you look back and see the branches, like a pruned bonsai tree, or forked lightning.

If you had done something differently, it wouldn’t be you, it would be someone else looking back, asking a different set of questions.

Cheers.

Ok ok,

Ok ok,

Facebook is the answer to a question no one asked: “How can I waste more of my time?” Compared to social network gaming, however, Facebook itself is as useful an invention as the mobile phone or the nuclear war head.

Actually, I do like Facebook. No questions about it. I’ve used it to reconnect with dozens of people I used to know. Few of them are even people I actually like. A year after I joined Facebook for the sole purpose of sharing pictures of a new rig I built, I find myself updating status, making comments and “unliking” them, and listing things like the “Five things I would say if I was Ris Low” quiz. [1:Boomz, 2:Rad, 3:Boomz, 4:Mastercard or Visa, 5:World Peace]. These are kind of answers I wouldn’t give outside the Facebook environment even if I was not sober.

I used Facebook for about 6mnths before I caved in tried social gaming. It help no appeal at all. I ignored from friends inviting me to join their mafia, become part of their vampire clan, move in next to their farm, or contribute to efforts to select the next Singapore Idol.

I have always admired the mafia after watching Al-Pacino in the Godfather. So Mafia wars did sound right. It’s actually an elegant piece of work: a role playing game stripped down to pure tats and wrapped in a simple graphical user interface. It has a balanced risk/reward system and a satisfying initial arc driven by leveling, establishing and expanding an income stream and gathering little bits or stuff.

But it loses steam rather quickly. The leveling cycle becomes routine, and the game reaches a point where risk vanishes, rendering the rewards hollow. It’s also an oddly unsocial social game, with minimal personal interaction and more inflicting cyber damage.

Yet it retains one important appeal. Its undemanding. You can perform all your duties for the day with a few clicks over coffee or when u first log on to your office pc (Yes, you can play it in Mac too.), making it one of the most efficient games I’ve seen. It’s like we are outsourcing game play.
And no, I don’t want to join your mafia.

Cheers.
ps: I shall strive to bring down Facebook.
