An old skool Holiday
Visualised by archtomato On Friday, July 1, 2011 at 1:30 Hrs | Minimum B.S.
Ok ok,
In the old days people took years to cross the country. They did it the good old way. They walked. Now people will move thousands of kilometers for a wimp, like to see the Eiffel tower or something. I don’t think any of the pioneers did that. “Yeah it took us a decade to get there, and we stayed for the summer. It was nice, they had a pool, the kids loved it. And then, we left about ten years ago and we just got back. We had a great summer, it took us twenty years, and now our lives are over.”
Cheers.
ps: Did Adam and Eve ever take a holiday?

Fate and Co-incidence
Visualised by archtomato On Thursday, June 9, 2011 at 21:13 Hrs | Minimum B.S.
Ok ok,
We are connected, each to the other, each to the earth, each to the universe. Our bodies and minds work by the same rules that guide the stars. Our very atoms are star-stuff.
Are the connections internal to us or external? Does the question even have meaning? In the connections is what I might term fate and perhaps what another might term coincidence. Where does one stop and the other begin? When the separation ceases to matter, there ceases to need a separate identity. Fate and coincidence lie separated by a very thin red line. In fact, the very thought of discerning the difference might be a fated co-incidence.
To be controlled by an irrepressible force is fate. To think that you are being controlled by an irrepressible force is purely coincidental. The term is irrelevant. Need we hang on a specific, isolating?
Cheers.
ps: Fate is what you are willing to forge.

Misplacing Displacement
Visualised by archtomato On Friday, June 3, 2011 at 21:06 Hrs | Minimum B.S.
Ok ok,
Let’s say you have a typical life and try to live it in the healthiest way. You might allocate your 24-hour day this way:
Sleep: 8 hours
Exercise: 1 hour
Work: 8 hours
Eating: 2 hours (Really Slowly)
Hygiene: 1 hour
Travel: 2 hour
That leaves you with two hours for family time, shopping, chores, Left4Dead, Facebook, Jail-breaking your iPhone real often and so on. If you have an acupuncture appointment, or your talkative relative calls from Tirunelveli, and or Survivor has a two-hour special, you’re tapped out.
It’s a challenge to live a happy life if you aren’t giving enough attention to all of those categories, yet doing so is nearly impossible.
One time management strategy is to be independently wealthy, freeing up eight hours a day. But that option isn’t available to many. And apparently it is not fulfilling because most rich people continue to work full schedules. Another strategy is to ignore the fact that you are slowly killing yourself by not sleeping and exercising enough. That frees up several hours a day. The only downside is that you get fat and then you die slowly. A third path is to work less than you could, live economically, enjoy each day as it comes, and try not to think about living on cat food when you retire.
And yes, dreaming about withdrawing CPF at old age deducts 10 days from you life and surfing the net for Groupon vouchers deducts 30 days. Which strategy have you picked and how much life have you lost so far?
Cheers.
ps: I’m working on a fourth strategy, will publish real soon.

Being Concept
Visualised by archtomato On Monday, May 16, 2011 at 21:55 Hrs | Minimum B.S.
Ok ok,
Just like the Horizon, Time Dilation, Flying pigs, Man on the moon, Tax Reliefs, Money and Love at First sight (and possibly “The Opposition”), I am more of a concept than a corporeal being.
Cheers.
ps: Happy Vesak Day Everyone !!!

Bad Dressing
Visualised by archtomato On Sunday, May 15, 2011 at 17:35 Hrs | Minimum B.S.
Ok ok,
Your body is your innermost and truest outfit. Your house is another layer of wardrobe. Then your neighborhood, your town, your grc. It’s all one giant outfit.
We’re wearing everything. That’s why in certain towns, no matter what you’ve got on, you’re a bad dresser. Just for being there. Some places you’re better off just moving instead of changing.
Cheers.
ps: This post is non political

The Ride of your Life
Visualised by archtomato On Thursday, May 12, 2011 at 1:01 Hrs | Minimum B.S.
Ok ok,
Life is truly a ride. We’re all strapped in and no one can stop it. When the doctor slaps your behind, he’s ripping your ticket and away you go. As you make each passage from youth to adulthood to maturity, sometimes you put your arms up and scream, sometimes you just hang on to that bar in front of you. But the ride is the thing. I think the most you can hope for at the end of life is that your hair’s messed, you’re out of breath, and you didn’t throw up.
Cheers.
ps: Vroom-Vroom

Ooo Aah Mr. Bond
Visualised by archtomato On Sunday, April 17, 2011 at 13:03 Hrs | Minimum B.S.
Ok ok,
When you want to enjoy something, you must never let logic get too much in the way. Sometimes, you just have to let loose and go with your gut feelings, like all those villains in all the James Bond movies.
Whenever Bond breaks into the complex: “Ah, Mr. Bond, welcome, come in. Let me show you my entire evil plan and then put you in a death machine that doesn’t work.” See how cool these guys are. They know they have a kick ass spy on their tail and they still remember their manners. I have never seen a Bond villain’s feathers being ruffled. Like never (* Casino Royale doesn’t count, the villain was a wuss).
The other odd thing about the Bond movies is they have the most evil guy in the world vs. the most hardy guy in the world and you leave liking both of them equally. That i suppose tells us something. Its not about what you do, its how well you do it, and how much fun you have doing it.
Cheers.
ps: Bloodnofsky is an awesome name for a villain.
