Outkast

Amazing cover of 'Hey Ya' by Andre 3000. The acoustic guitar and his voice really brings out the lyrics of the song. Possibly the best post of the month. Very poignant.

TOYZ!!!

I am sure he does not read my blog, but SOMEONE owes me the number 1 toy.

Cliches

Dammit, I wish I could be bothered to figure out how to put an accent eigu into my font.

Sleep

This article seems quite interesting. Someone read it and summarise it for me into 100 words or less.

Boggle

One post below for the guys, one post here for the girls.

You know who you are :P

Gears of War

Trailer for the video game, 'Gears of War'. Damiit now i want an xbox360...... AND a Nintendo DS Lite..... AND a Wii......

Photos

Some stunning photography on display here, link goes to my favorite of the lot, but look around at the other categories for some excellent wallpaper.

Rempit

While trawling through the local forums today, I came across this piece on mob mentality specifically regarding Mat Rempits. Thought it was well written by a Roland San and hope you find it interesting



"Mat Rempit is simply a label.

It serves to define a group of people, a sub-culture, and that is all it does.

Ultimately they are a mob. Mobs can be brought together by a common standard or characteristic, and here it is the motorcycle. Why? Because a bike allows cheap thrills for a cheap price. Ideal.

Now, the problem with mobs is that once they reach a critical population, say twenty of them riding around, each individual becomes anonymous. They become the group. They lose individual identity, and gain the identity of the group. And as a group, they feel they project more power, and therefore they lose the fear of repercussion. There is no consequence, and this power quickly goes to their heads. Law and reason no longer prevail, as they have large enough numbers to intimidate and allow them to do as they please. They feel that the group allows them to be more that they can be, and they display this by performing stunts or racing. They feel they are part of something, a sub-culture where they are accepted, where they are glorified. You read in the papers that they race for the cash, women and glory. Their motivation is to have something, because in the real world, they most likely have nothing.

Now, look back at the punk movement. It was a response to the British government's hold on the social order of things, and the traditional way life was led. It defied authority and order to give a voice to those who were disillusioned.

There's no difference with that and today's Rempit culture. They don't exactly lead the brightest of lives, and have to find escape in other ways. They're rebelling against the social order here, and against the limitations placed upon them.

There's more to this than illegal racing. It goes right down to what's wrong with today's society, and the solution lies there, not with intergrating them or outlawing them."

Groan

A montage of all the quips and one liners from David Caruso's character in CSI:NY.

oh and WHAT is up with those damn sunglasses?

Parkour

For all of you that were thrilled by the first scene in Casino Royale, the scene was basically a type of free running called Parkour. Extremely popular in France where they have several groups doing it. The baddie in the initial scene actually is one of the founders of free running.

Seasoning

Sometimes things on the Internet are so ridiculous that it has to be for real.

Gramma

Personally I think it speaks more for the abilities of modern photography than her natural beauty. Having said that, pretty damn decent for a 71yr old

Pervert

Granted, I may have a mind like a septic tank, but how can you fail to notice the obvious with this toy?

Santa

Ok, someone explain this to me. How is it that a guy like this gets cancer?

Rainbow

Like the proverbial pot of gold, there has gotta be something pretty damn fantastic at the end of this trail. I mean HUGE, like the secrets to the universe, or the meaning of life, or a Nintendo Wii.

Thunderpants

You know with a name like 'Thunderpants', I expected a lot more (or less) than what I saw.

Prometheus

Today I fell down.

It has been a while since I fell..... in the past 12 months I have learnt;

to Walk
to Run, and
to Dance.

The reason why it happened is not important, sometimes any excuse will do. As I lay on the familar ground I tried to look up for a change and not let gravity do it's usual job. To all my friends, I recognise and appreciate the concern in your eyes as you speak to me. It has been one year, pretty much to the day and perhaps I have finally reached the final stage;

Poker

Few of my frens went down to Sinapore to play in the tourney over there. Was kinda tempted but didn't really have enough reason to go.

This would have made me change my mind.

Borat

Well you knew it was going to happen eventually. I can't even begin to imagine how much fun it would be to go drinking in New York with Sasha Cohen and Hugh Laurie.

Music

This guy does not know how to play either the Piano or the Drums. Check out what I spose you can call edited Video Music.

Bond

A sign of the times perhaps? Finally a Bond with some backbone, not a weepy SNAG like Timothy Dalton or prissy Metrosexual like Brosnan.

Supposedly we are going to see a throwback to the old arrogant and cruel character from the Connery days. Finally! something i can relate to :P

Chun

New link on the right, Check out the website of another guy that I have known since KinderGardenSchool.

His blog centers on spirituality and should be an eye-opener for any of you with an interest in the field.

Teacher

Check out this post about a 35year old teacher's assistant having sex with a 15 year old student.

I post this for 2 reasons

1. The disparity between the sexes when it comes to crimes like this
2. Check out how hot the chick is! MEOW

Melons

Ok, decided to throw in a few posts just to prove that I am not currently in remand (thank you my only reader).

In case any of you girls are wondering how to get your men move involved in the grocery shopping.
