To Wed or Not to Wed...Gay is thy Question

There have been a few issues going around the world and for some reason these come up in more than a few ways in your life. Most of the protest or campaign for a cause is nowadays taken many different methods, be it standing on the street passing pamphlets and getting petitions signed or using the electronic media and taking the privilege of the social networking sites by creating pages and inviting people to join them.

One of these issues that has been going around for sometime now is the Gay Marriage one, where for every 3 requests you get to support the cause there is one which tells you how GOD is going to punish you if you even as little as think about giving support to the same sex alliances. Now, if you ask me I don't give a two cent if two people of the same sex want to get married, as quite frankly there are far more serious issues like my personal poverty wherein I can't afford to buy that PS3 that I have been looking at for the last one year and have seen a newer model come in the space of then and now. So you can see the dilemmas I am enduring while there are people who want me to join a group at the risk of taking on the Gods. Now I am not that spiritual but even I know that of everyone, and I mean everyone including Obi-Wan Kenobi (now wasn't he gay.....and now I have offended all the Star Wars fanatic) and God, you don't piss off God. Not because he can strike you down with lightening, that's not intimidating, no, its the suffering that has got me worried.

The whole thing in my opinion has gone a bit overboard with the politicial leaders getting involved and after a few of them getting very vocal against it have been caught out having that sneaky nookie with surprise surprise.....a person of the same sex! Talk about taking things to the next level to prove it wrong but I would say that this would be going a bit overboard. So I guess if you go gay just by objecting to two guys/girls marrying, then I think I am better off saying "Wish a wonderful and gay life to both of you and may the both the husband and husband or wife and wife live happily ever after". Now that we have covered the political aspect, lets move on to the religious one. The one thing that brings leaders of all the world's religion together has turned out to be homosexuality. A couple of years ago, there was a joint procession held by the religious leaders of the Christian, Jewish and Islamic community in Jerusalem where they all banded together to condemn homosexuality and tell the world about the evils of being gay. Yes it took a group of homosexuals to get those mostly bearded bunch to agree on something and actually stand side by side together on an issue. The one thing that surprises me is why the Church should be so against this as by reading the news in the last few years, I thought quite a few of the gays folks got initiated while attending services as little boys.

Now even though I find the whole phenomenon a bit odd, I am certainly not going to judge someone by their preferences of a partner and piss off people like Elton John, George Michael, Tom Cruise....what Tom's not a gay you say? Well anyone that short who jumps on couches in front of millions of people and is not retarded is gay. I'll let you decide that one.

Tasers and Pitch Invaders

I have always been amused with pitch invaders and what goes on in their head before they jump off and start running whilst a game is on the go. Now pitch invasion has a very long history and occur in quite a few sports. There are some so called sports which actually see a bit of excitement because of this activity, ok probably more due to streaking than invading pitches but the only difference between the two happens to be if you have your clothes on or you don't. Along the years, pitch invading has got a lot tougher with the security around the grounds being more stricter than before. We have big fences, an army of security personnel and now the reports coming from the Big Apple this weekend that even tasers are out to electrify (sorry but I couldn't resist) the loony who tries such a thing.

Imagine going to game now, you would be wishing someone gets too drunk (yes that is one of the reasons for jumping on to the pitch and running across with a mental note that a pack of wild dogs are after you) and his friends bet him money (another one of the reasons) to become the gladiator and run across avoiding all obstacles and ensuring that he is not caught, depending on the amount of alcohol consumed and the money wagered, this could also ascertain if the clothes would be of a hindrance to this task or not. This my friends, is where the whole if this is going to be a plain pitch invasion or is it going to be a feat of streaking is decided, let the whole world or at least a state in a country check out what is deemed very private by the public. This is going to be the, most likely less than, five minutes of fame and you decide if you want to be an open book (again couldn't resist it) or have that mysterious aura surrounding you. So once, the invader jumps on you can start your chants, like the people in the Bank Park in Philadelphia watching the baseball game, of "TASE HIM!! TASE HIM!" and wait and watch as that hit of electricity makes someone fall like a lump of.........we'll just leave it at lump. I already want the authorities to start using it here so we can enjoy this new added form of entertainment at the already expensive sport events sooner rather than later. I am sure it would raise the coffers of the teams and for a change we would be given a worth our money experience.

So on that note, let us give an applaud to the pitch invaders/streakers to continue their somewhat crazy antics and give us an electrifying performance and I literally mean that.

Of Devils Pacts, Boobquakes and Aliens

A week ago an Iranian cleric shot off his mouth claiming that women showing their cleavages and wearing short skirts caused the earthquakes the world is now experiencing. This apparently did not go down well with......well with most of us as on the sound of it it does sound a bit ridiculous but then a lot of people of religious clout claim things like that, and as I remember some televangelist also claimed something similar when the earthquake in Haiti has struck. Rev. Pat Robertson claimed that the earthquake which almost entirely took out Haiti was caused because the people of Haiti made a pact with the devil.......in the 18th century......yes you read that right, the pact with Mr. Satan himself done a few centuries ago. Now I am the sort of person who hardly finds anything weird in the weirdness that occurs or comes out of that speaking passage most of us refer to as a mouth, but even I start scratching my head when people like the two mentioned above come up with such ideas. I mean earthquakes being caused by pacts done with the devil centuries ago or women wearing provocative clothes are the things which would mean that life is almost over for two categories of human existence....one being the Gothic, those devil worshipping dressed all in black and oddly painting their nails black too; and the other well.....the male species in general or the French people in particular. If you haven't heard or have been living in a hole for the last six months you might have heard the talks about how the French government thinks its downright outrageous for women to wear anything that covers parts of modesty. I can already imagine Sarkosy cringe at the thought of it and well lets not even dare imagine the thoughts of the Silvio Berlusconi (the Italian Prime Minister....thought I would add this info for the sake of those hole dwellers) on this.

Apparently all this did not go down well with the feminists either and one of the came up with a spectacular idea of creating an event on Facebook and named it Boobquake (sic.) where she urged all women of all races and types (the hot and the not so hot and the down right uglies all united) to wear a top or a short depending on the preferences which left very little to everyone's imagination on the 26th of April and see if it really caused a quake or even a tremor. This grew into a cult and had almost 200,000 women vowing to bare their chest. Now comes the worrying bit.....as all these women went on their little research experiment, a tremor did hit in Taiwan and it was measured a 6.5 on the Richter scale. Although the creator of Boobquake is still defiant, I have doubts creeping out of me and therefore have made it a point not to look at anyone not covered from head to toe from now on.

The world has suddenly turned a new page in weirdness and if women can't wear what they wish to and if some people, albeit in the 18th century and long way past dead now, can't make pacts with the devil, what is the point of living in it. Stephen King this week went on claiming how Aliens did exist but it is better that we don't contact them for our safety, but I think they do know we exist and are not contacting us for their safety as even they can't bring on earthquake so easily as by stripping off their clothes or having their ancestors seal their doom hundreds of years ago.

Its all about Eyjafjallajokull....

I am now officially sick and tired of all the people complaining how they are stuck in Europe and can't fly out and come back to their work. Yeah right....coz you are so sick of holiday that the last thing you would like is another few days out there with a valid reason for not starting your work on the next day after you're back. I can imagine a few of my friends who have been stuck in Amsterdam complaining how much they are hating it that they can't leave and come back here so that they can enjoy doing things they could do legally there illegally. Yeah, I can imagine the couples in Paris or Berne or Vienna complaining how shitty it is to be stuck in those cities. Oh yes damn that ash cloud and that volcano somewhere in Iceland in a place with a name so hard to spell or pronounce that you would just like to call it "that volcano place that screwed up the budget airlines of Europe" (for the one who love details the place is called Eyjafjallajokull and its damn hard to type it down too) . Although if we look at it that dreaded ash cloud hasn't really stopped everyone from travelling though, it was reported that John Cleese (from the hilarious comedy Fawlty Towers and the Monty Python) paid 3300 Pounds on a cab to get from Oslo to Brussels, talk about showing off your money. The Barcelona FC is also gearing up to take the bus down from Barcelona to Milan to play Inter Milan for the semifinal of the Champions League and here's hoping that Inter thrashes them to get to the finals! So its not really all gloomy if you are stuck there....its only like that if you are poor and stuck there, and as we all know and have learned over the years......well no one gives any thought for the poor. Sad but true.

So if you are stuck in Europe right now, my advice is that you live it up, no need spending that hard earned money on hotels after all you only need to that to bunk up at night and why sleep when there's soo much to do! Hitch hike a ride to Mykonos and you could be partying all day and all night! Just remember that its a "Holiday" and that they usually don't come around that often and you should be set to go!

P.S: A friend just gave this link to the amazing photos from Eyjafja......u know that place...

Soul Scurry

I was going through the news site the other day when I noticed an article which caught my attention, it was about how a website conned people by adding a line in the that useless statement of agreement no one ever reads which mentioned that by clicking on the "I Agree" button you just would be handing us the right to your soul.....yes you read that right...your soul can now be given away for just a click of the button. I can just imagine how pissed off the Grim Reaper would be to come to claim someone only to find out that a scummy website company beat him or her (yeah lets no assume that the grim reaper has to be a him only now!). I wonder what the company who owns this website needs all these souls for? Or are we to assume that the turf war between good and evil has now gone commercial and we can't even sue the damn anti-christs for wrongfully claiming what never was theirs. Or have they gone weak and are now hiding behind the laws that they didn't care about? Not so invincible now are you Mephistopheles (one of the seven princes of Hell, in case you were wondering)!!

The company however has now claimed that it will send a mail to everyone who has given up his soul will be offered to claim it back by....wait......clicking another button on the link provided by the company. Now, I could be wrong here but who in the world would be so stupid to rely on the words or well in this case statements of the company which tricked you into handing over your soul without you even realising it or feeling it. How can anyone ever anywhere now click on the "I accept" button without wondering if they are still going to have their souls with them after that second? And don't be stupid, no one can be bothered reading through the rubbish they write in the statement of agreement, wouldn't you just go and read the word of the day on the toilet paper.......oh you do that already huh? Oh well you get the point don't you. So from now onwards, unless you have a troubled soul, please be careful on what you sign up for as the era of the soul snatchers has just started now.

Of All things Notorious!! :)

I have been thinking of writing something since the last entry but for some reason I just can't jot down anything more than four lines. Now that shouldn't be a problem because this is after all my blog and four or fifty lines shouldn't matter......but....I kinda feel like I am cheating on my thoughts by doing that. Speaking of cheating, Tiger Woods is back and doing what he does best....Golfing!! Now I know in the recent months he has everyone convinced that when it comes to chasing holes there's no one who can beat him and though John Terry (the now former England captain...football) tried his hard, his handicap was way behind. Well just when Mr. Woods went through his rehabilitation process and if the media is to be believed was forgiven by his wife and coming back to golf, there seems to be no stop to the women and allegations. Lets hope that he comes through all this for a game as boring as golf needs a Tiger Woods to keep the charm it has and probably all this has probably given more publicity to the game than it has ever received before. When they say any publicity is good publicity it might actually be true after all.

So while Tiger is burning off his calories with all his activities, notorious and the rest, news has come from the fast food industry in the US that KFC...yes that finger licking tasty....errr....tasting chicken has come out with the sugar daddy (without the sugar or so I assume) of treats called the "KFC Double Down". Oh yeah the people at KFC have come out with their war against the carbs with this one, yes, instead of a friend piece of yummy chicken in a bun, this one has no bun but instead you get two yummy pieces of fried chicken with bacon, cheese and sauces in between it. Heart Attack anyone? The good news, for now, is that this is still limited to the masses in the US and so we don't have to worry about this waist-raising coronary clogging delight just as yet. So God bless America and hopefully let this gastronomical delight stay within its borders for some time to come.

Six Degrees

In the twentieth century, when statisticians became bored they started experiments and came up with a theory called "Six Degrees of Separation" which concluded that every individual is potentially separated from everyone else by a mere six links. This theory has caused a lot of people researching, conducting global experiments, starting games linked to it and we even have a film made (after it was made as a play first) on it.

Now that I have given you a backdrop of what the Six Degrees of Separation is, I can move on to what my take on this is. If this theory really does hold its matter over water and can be weighed in gold (or well apparently everyone's going platinum these days so that....its your choice really) imagine how exciting unexpected people it bring us closer to.

This theory can be so useful on facebook, where lets be honest, we do spend 40% of the time e-stalking someone, be it your ex or an old crush or that hot looking girl (boy if you are a girl.....and well are into boys) or that horrible person you hated in school/college/university/your old workplace/round the corner from your house/round the corner from the round the corner of your house/round the corner from your old workplace/round the corner from your ex's house.....you get the idea right....someone you just plain hated. Ok probably I got carried away a bit there and the example that fits here is only the one which is you stalking the hot looking girl/boy whose profile you saw while randomly searching through facebook (boy you must have a lot of time if you are into this shit) and well now you are only six links away from getting to know her/him. All you have to do it ask everyone on your friend list if they know that person and then they can ask everyone on their list and it would only take 5 more links from them and you can be introduced to that person. How simple is that!!! I personally give my full backing to this theory as it turns a reasonably small world to even a smaller one but its gives us friends who we never knew existed and well does bring down the cases of stalking as when you would get to know that person you would kick yourself for being to stupid as to waste your time on "someone" like that....but no need to stress as your very own shrink is only six links away from you (in case you already don't have one).

So in case you haven't keep passing this link to everyone you know.....who knows I might come across someone in those six links who would pay me for this....unique...sort of......work.
