Sometimes, I think its better to be hurt by someone you know accidentally than being hurt by someone you don’t know on purpose.
Ok that’s all.
Cheers
ps: I really don’t know if that makes sense.

Meander to Your Dander

ok ok,
I would say the concept behind the car phone, and the phone machine, the speaker phone, the airline phone, the mobile phone, the pay phone, the cordless phone, the multi-line phone, the phone pager, the call waiting, the call forwarding, call conferencing, speed dialing, direct dialing, IDD and the redialing, is that we all have absolutely nothing to say, and we’ve got to talk to someone about it right now.
Cannot wait another second! I mean come on, you’re at home you’re on the phone, you’re in the car you’re making calls, and you get to work, “Any messages for me?” Come on, you’ve got to give people a chance to miss you a little bit.
The downside of the modern day message is it usually means somebody wants something from you. There are two types of favors, the big favor and the small favor. You can measure the size of the favor by the pause that a person takes after they ask you to “Do me a favor.” Small favor-small pause. “Can you do me a favor, hand me that pencil.” No pause at all. Big favors are, “Could you do me a favor. . . .” Eight seconds go by. “Yeah? What?” “. . . Well.” The longer it takes them to get to it, the bigger the pain it’s going to be. Hell on earth people. Hell on earth.
Humans are the only species that do favors. Animals don’t do favors. A tiger doesn’t go up to a goat and say, “Could you do me a favor and hold still, I’d like to eat you alive.” That’s a big favor even with if there was no pause.
Cheers
ps: I dunt use a mobile phone any longer.

ok ok,
Sometimes I think,
Am I setting a Bad example?
I’ve come close to killing people,
Definitely made some cry,
Bribed a few.
I’ve been known to be unfaithful,
But not to my faith, Never to my faith.
Truth is, I am not setting examples,
I am merely being true to who I truly am.
Who am I?
I am archtomato;
Leader of men, with bull’s eye on my ass.
Cheers
ps: Archtomato, Minimum BS

Voodoo Doodoo

ok ok,
See, in a relationship, each man and each woman actually does have an owner’s manual. Nothing is written down anywhere, but the directions for operation of an individual in a relationship are detailed and specific nonetheless.
So when you start out with someone, you’re essentially driving a strange car for the first time and none of the controls are labeled.
So the windshields can come on at strange times, sometimes you stall.On top of that we’ve all met people with bad steering, no brakes, needs a new exhaust filter, hazard-lights a little dim, too much in the trunk, not enough under the boot, prone to backfiring, won’t turn over, and just plain out of petrol.
This is why when people get ready to get married they so often seem to choose basic transportation. Nothing too flashy, just something that can give good mileage and performance. It’s simple, it’s reliable, and it gets you there. That’s important on a long trip.
Cheers
ps: What we really need is a little bit of voodoo

The Codex
Visualised by archtomato On Sunday, September 14, 2008 at 16:00 Hrs | Minimum B.S.
ok ok,
I certainly never imagined three years ago, when I started writing down these thoughts that kept coming into my head, that someday they would grow into such a extensible set of articles.
A lot of people have this little corner of their brain that wants to play all the time. The idea of writing things down for me and for you is to keep that corner alive. It’s good to play, and you must keep in practice. I never thought they would amount to anything, really but now i think i could probably publish a book. Not a good book but a book.
And picture having my book the bookstores like kino or borders. I love bookstores. A bookstore is one of the only pieces of physical evidence we have that people are still thinking. And I like the way it breaks down into fiction and nonfiction. In other words, these people are lying, and these people are telling the truth. That’s the way the world should be. Simply Simple.
Cheers
ps: The alphabet of manliness is a fun read.

Fact File Archtomato Archtomato . OxyMoron . Laughing at Gilded Butterflies Archtomato works in the IT security industry and has managed to convince his bosses for the past 10 years that his best work is yet to come.
Archtomato is a coffee nut, a photographer without focus, a traveler who can't read maps, a diver who floats all too easily and a champion of world peace.
He is an avid practitioner of the dark side of the force; admires Chuck Norris, Paris Hilton and collects vintage Batman comics. Just like the Horizon, Time Dilation, Flying pigs, Tax Reliefs and possibly, the "Opposition", he believes he is more of a concept than a corporeal being.
Archtomato believes that the true nature of man is decided in the battle between the conscious mind and the desires of the subconscious and that the evil of man's subconscious is often too strong to resist. The only way to win is to deny it battle.
He now lives in a world of pollution, profanity, adolescence, smelly beavers, zits, herpes, broccoli, racism, ozone depletion, sexism, conscription, yellow bananas, stupid people, nightmares, dog whisperers,Gamma Ray Bursts, Nuke Baddies and sings badly but regularly in the bathroom.
Tomatoes were sacrificed in the making of this website, contents and for the continual existence of its owner. Rss 2.0 | Atom | Main
