Listening - Insomnia by Craig David


The metrosexual man is someone who can clip a nail but can't kill a cockroach. Ok, maybe I'm being a streotypical idiot, but I really can't understand how men...MEN!! can be able to discourse upon the good and bad parts of.... FEMALE PERFUME??!! C'MON!!! Refined is one thing, being gay is one thing, being a FEMININE IDIOT?...

They say that the younger generation is fast becoming unable to fix things themselves, and need workmen and handyman's to do the job. Even simple things like changing a lightbulb or fixing the tape. Seriously? What happened to the concept that a man can do things? like knock up a simple table or chair? Where did the concept that a man is a man fall apart? Now... it pains me to say this, but it's a very very prevalent in asians. Yes... you could say I'm racist against asians, even though I am one. Not all asians are (my hat off to them), but I see alot who are really....really... feminine. They couldn't fight a ball of fluff. Not to mention weak. Unconfrontationl. Quiet. They don't try to lead or take the initiative. Why? why is it? is it cos girls like that? or what?

A man should do something in his life to be remembered, or else he might as well just have wasted the chance of a lifetime. Yet we're too content to want to go back to our homecountry... we just wanna got to Korean, China, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan etecetcetc. What about travelling the world? The history of Europe, the Jungles of South America, the Safaris of Africa, the ice caps of Antartica? I guess alot of us don't care, and it's that streotypical image that gets shifted out to the world. Some people ask me if I have ever eaten a dog. WTH?! Or like that other stupid things that we're supposed to eat. Gimme a break, do I look like I eat centipedes each night?

n.b The author doesn't hate these people, he just wishes that they would be men rather than men trying to be girls. Likewise, this disclaimer extends to all nationalities, races, animals, sea life, God and the Universe. It doesn't include that ball of fluff in the corner trying to be cute. Yeah, you, I'm looking at YOU!

You ever get that feeling you're not the best conversationalist in the world? in fact, you're like the worst conversationalist ever, and like, you're pulling everything outta thin air to talk about? like, "Oh, look at the sky, isn't it so blue today?" or something equally lame like "hey, whatcha doing" for the 10th million time in a row, then when that's exhausted, you ask "hey, whatcha doing tmr?..oh nono, I was just asking, nothing much". Then it's silence for like 10minutes where you rack your brains for something to talk about, then you make a one-liner and then shut up for 30mins? I've been in those situations too much. It's bad on msn, but then it gets worse face to face. Especially if it's someone you know, but too well. Like those highschool mates or uni people you don't know too well and see on the bus or train, and they see you, and neither side wants to be rude, so you both walk up and exchange hellos, how's it going etcetc, talk about something random, then go silent. Wouldn't it better if we had a secret signal where we indicated whether we wanted to talk or not, and it wasn't rude? Like the middle finger is pretty straightforward, but like how about the other fingers? the pinkey or the ring finger? wouldn't it be cool if you rose one of those and it meant "leave me alone" or "not right now" or "not in the mood to talk" or "no, I'm not who you think I am"? Everything we make is so that people can talk to each other, but sometimes you get sick of it right? like, you don't want to HAVE to call Auntie Jenny on Saturday night even if it's half price, or you don't want to HAVE talk to your other half just becuase skype is free for 2 hrs or you don't want to HAVE to chat with Cousin Mike just cos you're both on Optus and so it's free. When will the companies create a button for the We've-run-out-of-topics situation and make life easier? press the button and an automated message states what both sides knows already. And it's polite too.

I think I've been hanging around Facebook too much. It's addictive, the people in my group are all chivving each other to stay off it, but it got worse during exam time!! Hilarious really, MSN screens are all empty but the comments on our FB walls were going nuts. So much so I've neglected my Xanga a little bit. So I'm here to make amends XD. I'm going to spend the next 3 days purely on xanga... even if it's only a blogging station (I think). Ladeda...think I'll prowl around for hot girls =P.
