New Additions To My Google Reader

I have been reading so many new blogs lately. I found a couple which I have already added to my feeds. I’m always surprised by the diversity of blogs. Its incredible that there are people in every industry and walk of life who blog.

Its amazing to read everyone’s stories. I really find it quite cool. For now I have to finish up work (my usual excuse).

So if you’re looking for something to read, make sure to visit Bongi’s blog. He’s a South African “general surgeon working in the notorious South African province of Mpumalanga.” I find his bizarre stories interesting, and I’m sure you will too - especially if you’re from abroad, and you’re normal to a hospital running similar to what is portrayed in ER.

The other blog that has caught my attention is Diary of a Killer. You can read random posts, but its best to start at the beginning - its a fictional blog about a woman wanting revenge.

Hope you all have a good weekend!

Emoticons vs. Assicons

We all know those cute little computer symbols called “emoticons,” where:

:) means a smile and :( is a frown.

Sometimes these are represented by Happy Emoticon & Sad Emoticon

Well, how about some “ASSICONS?”
Here goes:

 

(_!_) a regular ass

 

(__!__) a fat ass

 

(!) a tight ass

 

(_*_) a sore ass

 

{_!_} a swishy ass

 

(_o_) an ass that’s been around

 

(_x_) kiss my ass

Onomatopoeia (Continued)

This post is inspired by Pstonie, which in turn was inspired by another blog. Visit Pstonie to trace the trail!

Its good to learn new things, and that word up there is my part for today. I can’t pronounce it properly - or at least it doesn’t sound like a proper word when I say it. Maybe that’s the way it was intended. The meaning of it as on Wikipedia is:

Onomatopoeia (occasionally spelled onomatopœia) is a word or a grouping of words that imitates the sound it is describing, suggesting its source object, such as “bang,” “crash”, “click,” “buzz,” “pop,” “zing,” or “untz untz” or animal noises such as “moo”, “woof”, “oink”, “quack”, “baa”, or “meow”. The word is a synthesis of the greek words “onoma” (name) and “poio” (verb meaning “to create”) thus it essentially means “name creation”.

Poof!

(By the way, that “Poof!” was me disappearing to bed — good night all!)

Something To Make You Go “Awe!”

James BluntJames Blunt sold his sister on eBay.

The “You’re Beautiful” singer was so addicted to the Internet auction site he sold his sibling - and she is now engaged to the winning bidder.

James said in an interview with GQ magazine: “The stupidest thing I’ve ever sold is my sister, on eBay.

“I was waiting for my first album to come out and ended up selling pretty much everything I owned on eBay. I had a mild addiction.

“Anyway, I came back to the flat where my sister was staying and she was crying because she couldn’t get to a funeral in Ireland.
Click here!

“The planes were on strike, the ferry was out of season and there were no trains. I ended up whacking it on eBay, ‘Damsel in distress seeks knight in shining armour!
Desperate to get to a funeral in Southern Ireland, please help!’

“The bids flooded in and the guy who won had a helicopter. He flew her to the funeral.

“That was three years ago, this summer they’re getting married!”

What Happens When A Blogger Dies?

FlowerIts something that I’ve been wondering about for a long time. What happens to my blog if I’m gone? There must be blogs that have been abandoned due to their owner passing away. Where are those blogs? Would anyone ever know? Unless we had immediate family who has access to our blogs or very close friends, our readers might never know where we went. Maybe even thinking that we merely lost interest in blogging.

Its a strange and eerie thought, but still a reality. The ideal would be for a fellow blogger to be in touch with your family - right? And that fellow blogger will have access to your blog’s username / password just to let the readers know what has happened. I don’t have someone like that unfortunately. Maybe I should try to find one?

The same counts for all my e-mail addresses. I have quite a few of those, and though my work e-mail addy would be sorted, I doubt if anyone would figure out the security questions / passwords for my other e-mail addy’s.

Any advice on this? Have any one of you got a backup plan I can use?

Globalization For The Weekend

I’m getting ready for the weekend, and really cannot wait until 5pm. It has been a long week for me, and the rest is going to do me a whole lot of good. Like I said, I’m going to play games. But I might watch a movie or two, plus I have to do some filing.

Hope you have a fabulous weekend! Check back with ya on Monday ;)

Here’s something to start the weekend with…Globe, (earth)

Question: What is the truest definition of Globalization?

Answer: Princess Diana’s death.

Question: How come?

Answer: An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a French tunnel, driving a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whisky, (check the bottle before you correct me on the spelling) followed closely by Italian Paparazzi, on Japanese motorcycles; treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines.

This was posted by an African, using Bill Gates’ - (an American)technology, and you’re probably reading this on your computer, that use Taiwanese chips, and a Korean monitor, assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore plant, transported by Indian lorry-drivers, hijacked by Indonesians, unloaded by Pakistani men, and trucked to you by Mexicans.

That, my friend, is Globalization.
