Study

The reason why I can never consistently study - The weather.

When it's hot, how am I supposed to study? ITS HOT!!!!

When it's raining, how can you not sleep?

When it's a nice day, why on earth are you even staying at home studying????

Rant

Ok. Background. (In Melbourne) I stay in this apartment which is at a very "strategic" place. It is just right opposite the market. So in the mornings when market is opened, I can usually hear alot of people walking around and chatting. Fine. That's in the morning. There's also trams and cars since it's quite a busy junction.

At night during the weekends, there will be some people who are drunk walking past my place and making a bit of noise. Fair enough. It's the weekends. And to be honest it's quite funny if you actually try to listen what they are trying to say. There's this occasional weekday-tipsy people as well. But it's all good.

HOWEVER, I do not understand this. The tram lines RIGHT in front of my apartment FOR SOME REASON need extra repairing. I do not know why is it that this particular piece of track needs to be constantly taken care of. The previous place I was staying had a tram track right in front of it as well. But I don't recall it EVER needing to be repaired/maintained.

They have to drill, cut, dig, whatever. NOISY. Very. Worse when you actually have a headache. The sound of the jackhammer does not help with headaches.

Guess what's the best part of it all. Yup. They have to do it at freaking midnight when there's no more tram service. Now I know why I have trouble sleeping at night.

I am getting old

I swear I thought of something awesome that I thought I could blog about sometime when I felt like blogging again yesterday. It was just yesterday.

But now its today and I don't remember. I'm like getting old. I even found....wait for it wait for it.... 3 white/grey hairs a couple months back. I was thinking that life and stress (ha ha) has finally got the better of me. But then my friend suggested this: Have you ever thought that you were actually getting older? Yeah.

On another note, people who give others shit must be able to take shit back. If not don't give people shit. Screw you shit givers who can't take shit. Yeah screw you.

Now I think I might have an idea of what I was thinking yesterday. But whatever.

Le Sulk?

Nicholas Anelka (born March 14, 1979 in Versailles, France)^[1] is a French football striker who plays for Chelsea F.C. of the Barclays Premier League. After making his name at Arsenal F.C., he has since played for eight teams in ten years, earning himself the nickname "Le Sulk"^[2] in the process.

Le Sulk. Watched the game Chelsea vs Man Utd? Watched how he missed all those chances? He should be called Le Suck since he sucks.

Sharing the same hairstylist?

No, I'm not gonna talk about these 2 players being gay.
So anyway, guy on the left: Glen Johnson
Guy on the right: David James

Both guys playing for Portsmouth.

See their hairstyle?
I know it's a bit dodgy this pic as you can't really see GJ's hair but DJ's hair is quite visible. Which is why I found another pic of GJ.


There you go! I was laughing when I saw the Portsmouth team lineup at the start of the FA Cup Final. "Same hair stylist wei the two of them...." was what I told my housemate.

And it's not really a cool hairstyle. :P

Darwin Awards

The Darwin Awards salute the improvement of
the human genome by honoring those who
accidentally remove themselves from it... (www.darwinawards.com)

A Darwin Award is a tongue-in-cheek honor named after evolutionary theorist Charles Darwin. Awards have been given for people who "do a service to Humanity by removing themselves from the Gene pool", i.e., lose the ability to reproduce either by death or sterilization. It is for people who kill or, more rarely, sterilize themselves accidentally in various stupid ways. As described in the Darwin Award books: The Awards honour people who ensure the long-term survival of the human race by removing themselves from the gene pool in a sublimely idiotic fashion. While an attempt is made to disallow urban legends from the awards, some older winners have been 'grandfathered' to keep their awards. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_Awards)


Eighth Place

In Detroit , a 41-year-old man got stuck and drowned in two feet of water after squeezing head first through an 18-inch-wide sewer grate to retrieve his car keys.

Seventh Place

A 49-year-old San Francisco stockbroker, who 'totally zoned when he ran,' accidentally, jogged off a 100-foot high cliff on his daily run.

Sixth Place

While at the beach, Daniel Jones, 21, dug an 8 foot hole for
protection from the wind and had been sitting in a beach chair at the bottom! When it collapsed, burying him beneath 5 feet of sand. People on the beach used their hands and shovels trying to get him out but could not reach him. It took rescue workers using heavy equipment almost an hour to free him. Jones was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Fifth Place

Santiago Alvarado, 24, was killed as he fell through the ceiling of a bicycle shop he was burglarizing. Death was caused when the long flashlight he had placed in his mouth to keep his hands free rammed into the base of his skull as he hit the floor.

Fourth Place

Sylvester Briddell, Jr., 26, was killed as he won a bet with friends who said he would not put a revolver loaded with four bullets into his mouth and pull the trigger.

Third Place

After stepping around a marked police patrol car parked at the front door, a man walked into H&J Leather & Firearms intent on robbing the store. The shop was full of customers and a uniformed officer was standing at the counter. Upon seeing the officer, the would-be robber announced a hold-up! and fired a few wild shots from a target pistol.
The officer and a clerk promptly returned fire, and several customers also drew their guns and fired. The robber was pronounced dead at the scene by Paramedics. Crime scene investigators located 47 expended cartridge cases in the shop. The subsequent autopsy revealed 23 gunshot wounds. Ballistics identified rounds from 7 different weapons.
No one else was hurt.

HONORABLE MENTION

Paul Stiller, 47, and his wife Bonnie were bored just driving around at 2 A.M. so they lit a quarter stick of dynamite to toss out the window to see what would happen. Apparently they failed to notice the window was closed.

RUNNER UP

Kerry Bingham had been drinking with several friends when one of them said they knew a person who had bungee-jumped from a local bridge in the middle of traffic. The conversation grew more heated and at least 10 men trooped along the walkway of the bridge at 4:30 AM. Upon arrival at the midpoint of the bridge they discovered that no one had brought a bungee rope. Bingham, who had continued drinking, volunteered and pointed out that a coil of lineman's cable, lay near by. They secured one end around Bingham's leg and then tied the other to the bridge. His fall lasted 40 feet before the cable tightened and tore his foot off at the ankle.. He miraculously survived his fall
into the icy water and was rescued by two nearby fishermen. Bingham's foot was never located.

AND THE WINNER IS...

Zookeeper Friedrich Riesfeldt ( Paderborn, Germany) fed his
constipated elephant 22 doses of animal laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the plugged-up pachyderm finally got relief.
Investigators say ill-fated Friedrich, 46, was attempting to give the ailing elephant an olive oil enema when the relieved beast unloaded.
The sheer force of the elephant's unexpected defecation knocked Mr. Riesfeldt to the ground where he struck his head on a rock as the elephant continued to evacuate 200 pounds of dung on top of him. It seems to be just one of those freak accidents that proves...shit happens

These idiots really made the world a much better place by removing themselves... but i love the one when it says "shit happens"

Spin spin spin spin spin!

So say you spin in clockwise direction and you get dizzy.
The cure?

Spin anticlockwise! :D
