No not the shoes.

I have seen this guy on TV, and while most of his stuff looks kinda staged, this looks legit (unless there is some serious photoshopping going on). Which would bring me to only one conclusion.

You sir, are an idiot.

Advice

2007-04-28T10:12:00.000+08:00

I realise that there are no young men who visit my blog, but in any case, I found this on Craiglist and there are a lotta rules in here that a guy would do well to live by. Credit to the original writer below.

Advice to Young Men from an Old Man

Date: 2007-02-15, 9:08AM PST

Advice to Young Men from an Old Man
1. Don’t pick on the weak. It’s immoral. Don’t antagonize the strong without cause, its stupid.

2. Don’t hate women. It’s a waste of time

3. Invest in yourself. Material things come to those that have self actualized.

4. Get in a fistfight, even if you are going to lose.

5. As a former Marine, take it from me. Don’t join the military, unless you want to risk getting your balls blown off to secure other people’s economic or political interests.

6. If something has a direct benefit to an individual or a class of people, and a theoretical, abstract, or amorphous benefit to everybody else, realize that the proponent’s intentions are to benefit the former, not the latter, no matter what bullshit they try to feed you.

7. Don’t be a Republican. They are self-dealing crooks with no sense of honor or patriotism to their fellow citizens. If you must be a Republican, don’t be a “conservative.” They are whining, bitching, complaining, simple-minded self-righteous idiots who think they’re perpetual victims. Listen to talk radio for a while, you’ll see what I mean.

8. Don’t take proffered advice without a critical analysis. 90% of all advice is intended to benefit the proponent, not the recipient. Actually, the number is probably closer to 97%, but I don’t want to come off as cynical.

9. You’ll spend your entire life listening to people tell you how much you owe them. You don’t owe the vast majority of people shit.

10. Don’t undermine your fellow young men. Mentor the young men that come after you. Society recognizes that you have the potential to be the most power force in society. It scares them. Society does not find young men sympathetic. They are afraid of you, both individually and collectively. Law enforcement’s primary purpose is to suppress you.

11. As a young man, you’re on your own. Society divides and conquers. Unlike women who have advocates looking out for them (NOW, Women’s Study Departments, government, non-profit organizations, political advocacy groups) almost no one is looking out for you.

12. Young men provide the genius and muscle by which our society thrives. Look at the Silicone Valley. By in large, it was not old men or women that created the revolution we live. Realize that society steals your contributions, secures it with our intellectual property laws, and then takes credit and the rewards where none is due.

13. Know that few people have your best interests at heart. Your mother does. Your father probably does (if he stuck around). Your siblings are on your side. Everybody else worries about themselves.

14. Don’t be afraid to tell people to “Fuck off” when need be. It is an important skill to acquire. As they say, speak your piece, even if your voice shakes.

15. Acquire empathy, good interpersonal skills, and confidence. Learn to read body language and non-verbal communication. Don’t just concentrate on your vocational or technical skills, or you’ll find your wife fucking somebody else.

16. Keep fit.

17. Don’t speak ill of your wife/girlfriend. Back her up against the world, even if she’s wrong. She should know that you have her back. When she needs your help, give it. She should know that you’ll take her part.

18. Don’t cheat on your wife/girlfriend. If you must cheat, don’t humiliate her. Don’t risk having your transgressions come back to her or her friends. Don’t do it where you live. Don’t do it with people in your social circle. Don’t shit in your own back yard.

19. If your girlfriend doesn’t make you feel good about yourself and bring joy to your life, fire her. That’s what girlfriends are for.

20. Don’t bother with “emotional affairs.” They are just a vehicle for women to flirt and have someone make them feel good about themselves. That’s the part of a relationship they want. For you it is a lot of work and investment in time. If they are having an emotional affair with you, they’re probably fucking someone else.

21. Becoming a woman’s friend and confidant is not going to get you into an intimate relationship. If you haven’t gotten the girl within a reasonably short period of time, chances are you won’t ever get her. She’ll end up confiding to you about the sexual adventures she’s having with someone else.

22. Have and nurture friendships with women.

23. Realize that love is a numbers game. Guys fall in love easily. You’re going to see some girl and feel like you’ll die if you don’t get her. If she rejects you, move on to the next one. It’s her loss.

24. Don’t be an internet troll. Got out and live life. There is not a cadre of beautiful women advertising on Craigslist to have NSA sex with you. Beautiful women don’t need to advertise. The websites that advertise with attractive women’s photos and claims of loneliness are baloney. All they want is your money and your personal information so that they can market to you. The posts on Craigslist by young “women” seeking NSA sex, and asking for a picture are just a bunch of gay troll pic collectors. This is especially true if the post uses common gay lexicon like “hole” as in “fuck my hole” or seeks “masculine” men, or uses the word cock (except in the context of “Don’t send a cock shot.”) There are women on Craigslist. They are easily recognizable by their 2-5 paragraph postings. Most are in their 30's or older.

25. When you become a man in full, know that people will get in your way. People who are attracted to you will somehow manage to step in your path. Gay guys will give you “the look.” Old people will somehow stumble in front of you at the worst time. Don’t get frustrated. Just step aside and go about your business. Know that these are passive aggressive methods to get you to acknowledge their existence.

26. Don’t gay bash. Don’t mentally or physically abuse people because of who they are, or how they present themselves. It’s none of your business to try to intimidate people into conformity.

27. If your gay, admit it to yourself, your parents, your friends and society at large. Be prepared to get harassed. See rule 14. If someone threatens you or assaults you, call the cops. Have them arrested. You have no obligation to self sacrifice because of who you are. As a gay person, you’ll have more social freedom than straight men. Use it to protect yourself. Be prepared to get out of Dodge if your orientation makes your life unbearable. Move to San Francisco, New York, Atlanta, or New Orleans. You’ll find a welcoming community there.

28. Don’t be a poser. Avoid being one of those dudes who puts a surfboard on top of their car, but never surfs, or a dude with a powder coated fixed gear bike and a messenger bag, but was never a messenger. Live the life. Earn your bona fides.

29. Don’t believe the crap about the patriarchy. More women are accepted and attend college. More degrees are awarded to women than men. Women outlive men. More men commit suicide. Men are twice as likely to be victims of violence, including murder. If you consider sexual assaults in prisons, twice as many men are raped as women (society thinks prison rape is funny). The streets are littered with homeless men, sprinkled with a few homeless women. Statically, women are happier than men. The myth that girls are being cheated by are educational system is belied by the fact that schools are bastions of femininity, mostly run by and taught by women. Girls outperform boys in school. It is the boys in school getting fucked over, and prescribed ritalin for being boys. Real wages for men are falling, while real wages for women are rising. Just because someone says something enough times, doesn’t make it true. You have nothing to feel guilty about.

30. Remember, 97% of all advice is worthless. Take what you can use, and trash the rest.

I watched this video earlier and totally didnt get it. Fast forward several hours and in the middle of my incline press at the gym, it hit me (the video, not that dumbell!). Suddenly the meaning of the whole video fell into place. Amazing piece of work although the song is pretty useless despite featuring Thom Yorke of Radiohead.

Things to watch out for

* the significance of the coat (especially the final scene with it in it)
* reactions of the other drivers
* his mutterings (which are in french btw)

Hi loyal reader! Have not been in the mood to blog of late, but still kicking it (thanks for asking).

Quick test for you, have a look through the 2007 Pulitzer prize winner for feature photography over here. If the pictures do not move you please donate your body to science since you officially have a heart of stone.

btw some of the photos might be a bit upsetting so feel free to stop before you get to the end.

For all of you that have seen the movie and were suitably inspired by the bodies on display, their workout system is called crossfit and is an adaptation of crosstraining and supersetting (no interval training interestingly enough).

Been to the website but I reckon i will look like a complete ass doing what the system prescribes. Till then, I leave you with a vid of em working out.

Was cleaning out my hard drive and I found the first cover letter I ever wrote for when I just left Uni. Thought I would post it here as a reference in case any one of my (2) visitors needed a sample

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have
been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more
efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban
refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently.

Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.

I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot
bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute
Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and
an outlaw in Peru.

Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended
a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I
play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject of
numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in
my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair
electrical appliances free of charge.

I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics
worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't
perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller
number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey
with a travelling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat .400.

My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany
circles. Children trust me.

I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I
once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and
still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the
exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed
several covert operations with the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do
sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully
negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The
laws of physics do not apply to me.

I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On
weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago
I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made
extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven.

I breed prize-winning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving
competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played
Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.

But I have not yet worked in your organisation.

ok, time to fess up. If you were a geek growing up in the 80s (guilty), 'The Karate Kid' was THE movie to inspire you. A weedy Ralph Macchio gets the crap beated outta him for most of the movie but in the end whips out the crane kick to win the fight tournament and the girl (played by a young Elisabeth Shue)

This movie sent countless hordes of kids to martial arts class and is probably responsible for me doing TKD for as long as I did, which is when I found out that the idiot Johnny only had to step right and move in and Daniel would be on his ass. ok I digress

Anyways, for my fellow nerds who have watched the movie countless times, check out this music vid (click on the 'just show the video' link). It has most of the original cast and you will either be grinning from ear to ear at the end of the video, or have absolutely no idea what the video or these 3 paragraphs are about.

Let's say a guy named Roger is attracted to a woman named Elaine. He asks her out to a movie; she accepts; they have a pretty good time. A few nights later he asks her out to dinner, and again they enjoy themselves. They continue to see each other regularly, and after a while neither one of them is seeing anybody else.

And then, one evening when they're driving home, a thought occurs to Elaine, and, without really thinking, she says it aloud: "Do you realise that, as of tonight, we've been seeing each other for exactly six months?"

And then there is silence in the car.

To Elaine, it seems like a very loud silence. She thinks to herself: Geez, I wonder if it bothers him that I said that. Maybe he's been feeling confined by our relationship... maybe he thinks I'm trying to push him into some kind of obligation that he doesn't want, or isn't sure of.

And Roger is thinking: Wow. Six months.

And Elaine is thinking: But, hey, I'm not so sure I want this kind of relationship, either. Sometimes I wish I had a little more space, so I'd have time to think about whether I really want us to keep going the way we are, moving steadily toward... I mean, where are we going? Are we just going to keep seeing each other at this level of intimacy? Are we heading toward marriage? Toward children? Toward a lifetime together? Am I ready for that level of commitment? Do I really even know this person?

And Roger is thinking: So, that means it was... let's see... February when we started going out, which was right after I had the car at the dealer's, which means... let me check the odometer... Whoa! I am way overdue for an oil change here.

And Elaine is thinking: He's upset. I can see it on his face. Maybe I'm reading this completely wrong. Maybe he wants more from our relationship, more intimacy, more commitment... maybe he has sensed, even before I sensed it, that I was feeling some reservations. Yes, I bet that's it. That's why he's so reluctant to say anything about his own feelings. He's afraid of being rejected.

And Roger is thinking: And I'm going to have them look at the transmission again. I don't care what those morons say, it's still not shifting right. And they better not try to blame it on the cold weather this time. What cold weather? It's 87 degrees and this thing is shifting like a garbage truck, and I paid those incompetent thieves $600.

And Elaine is thinking: He's angry. And I don't blame him. I'd be angry, too. I feel so guilty, putting him through this, but I can't help the way I feel. I'm just not sure.

And Roger is thinking: They'll probably say it's only a 90-day warranty... scum balls.

And Elaine is thinking: Maybe I'm just too idealistic, waiting for a knight to come riding up on his white horse, when I'm sitting right next to a perfectly good person, a person I enjoy being with, a person I truly do care about, a person who seems to truly care about me. A person who is in pain because of my self-centered, schoolgirl romantic fantasy.

And Roger is thinking: Warranty? They want a warranty? I'll give them a warranty. I'll take their warranty and stick it right up their...

"Roger," Elaine says aloud. "What?" says Roger, startled. "Please don't torture yourself like this," she says, her eyes beginning to brim with tears. "Maybe I should never have... Oh God, I feel so... (She breaks down, sobbing.)" "What?" says Roger. "I'm such a fool," Elaine sobs. "I mean, I know there's no knight. I really know that. It's silly. There's no knight, and there's no horse." "There's no horse?" says Roger.

"You think I'm a fool, don't you?" Elaine says. "No!" says Roger, glad to finally know the correct answer. "It's just that... it's that I... I need some time," Elaine says. There is a 15-second pause while Roger, thinking as fast as he can, tries to come up with a safe response. Finally he comes up with one that he thinks might work. "Yes," he says. Elaine, deeply moved, touches his hand. "Oh, Roger, do you really feel that way?" she says.

"What way?" says Roger. "That way about time," says Elaine. "Oh," says Roger. "Yes." Elaine turns to face him and gazes deeply into his eyes, causing him to become very nervous about what she might say next, especially if it involves a horse. At last she speaks. "Thank you, Roger," she says. "Thank you," says Roger.

Then he takes her home, and she lies on her bed, a conflicted, tortured soul, and weeps until dawn.

When Roger gets back to his place, he opens a bag of Doritos, turns on the TV, and immediately becomes deeply involved in a rerun of a tennis match between two Czechoslovakians he never heard of. A tiny voice in the far recesses of his mind tells him that something major was going on back there in the car, but he is pretty sure there is no way he would ever understand what, and so he figures it's better if he doesn't think about it.

The next day Elaine will call her closest friend, or perhaps two of them, and they will talk about this situation for six straight hours. In painstaking detail, they will analyse everything she said and everything he said, going over it time and time again, exploring every word, expression, and gesture for nuances of meaning, considering every possible ramification. They will continue to discuss this subject, off and on, for weeks, maybe months, never reaching any definite conclusions, but never getting bored with it, either.

Meanwhile, Roger, while playing racquetball one day with a mutual friend of his and Elaine's, will pause just before serving, frown, and say, "Norm, did Elaine ever own a horse?"

Orwell

2006-12-31T02:48:00.000+08:00

A passage from George Orwell's , 'A Hanging'

It was about forty yards to the gallows. I watched the bare brown back of the prisoner marching in front of me. He walked clumsily with his bound arms, but quite steadily, with that bobbing gait of the Indian who never straightens his knees. At each step his muscles slid neatly into place, the lock of hair on his scalp danced up and down, his feet printed themselves on the wet gravel. And once, in spite of the men who gripped him by each shoulder, he stepped slightly aside to avoid a puddle on the path.

It is curious, but till that moment I had never realized what it means to destroy a healthy, conscious man. When I saw the prisoner step aside to avoid the puddle, I saw the mystery, the unspeakable wrongness, of cutting a life short when it is in full tide. This man was not dying, he was alive just as we were alive. All the organs of his body were working — bowels digesting food, skin renewing itself, nails growing, tissues forming — all toiling away in solemn foolery. His nails would still be growing when he stood on the drop, when he was falling through the air with a tenth of a second to live. His eyes saw the yellow gravel and the grey walls, and his brain still remembered, foresaw, reasoned — reasoned even about puddles. He and we were a party of men walking together, seeing, hearing, feeling, understanding the same world; and in two minutes, with a sudden snap, one of us would be gone — one mind less, one world less.

I gain great pleasure from pointing out that the average soft drink has as many calories as a beer, and in fact is even more fattening (something to do with the thermal calorific content or whatever).

As a rough gauge, I would like you to let me know how many cans you drink in an average week.

I think they are really cute animals. Like little swimming cats, except for the giant otters of the Amazon which can grow to 6 feet in length. I love how they dive, pick up shellfish and rocks at the same time, float on their backs and crack the buggers open like dinner at Fatty Crab (tm).

Oh and after what could have been a potentially embarrassing mistake, I can now also tell the difference between an otter and a beaver.

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.

Rempit

2006-11-20T19:30:00.000+08:00

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."

Parkour

2006-11-20T00:33:00.000+08:00

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.

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

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

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.

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

Prometheus

2006-11-16T00:30:00.000+08:00

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

2006-11-15T18:44:00.000+08:00

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

2006-11-15T01:07:00.000+08:00

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.

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

2006-11-13T09:47:00.000+08:00

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

2006-11-11T20:15:00.000+08:00

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

2006-11-10T10:05:00.000+08:00

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

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.

It takes a lot to get a reaction outta me from the internet these days. I think I have been de-sensitized to most of the stuff that I see.

It takes a something very very special to make me laugh out loud.

Samui

2006-10-17T09:04:00.000+08:00

Take a look at the website for this hotel room. Hmm... I wonder what they are suggesting you do on your honeymoon? :P

btw if anyone of you plan to go to Koh Samui, make sure you stay at Chaweng beach coz there is bugger all to do at the other beaches.

Fender

2006-10-15T20:19:00.000+08:00

I grew up listening to this song, and it is probably the first one that I learnt to sing in entirety, including the Spanish verse. Dunno whether it is a result of being born in Los Angeles or having a dad who listened to country. One of the few songs that never fails to bring a smile to my face.

Vaya Con Dios, Freddy Fender

Halloween

2006-10-15T14:17:00.000+08:00

I present to you, the WORST Halloween costume ever.

Interesting kid they got for the photo though. Rosy cheeks. In fact I would go so far as to say that he looks a little.... flushed.

PDF

2006-10-14T09:50:00.000+08:00

Some PDF templates in case any of you REALLY wanna print calendars or staff paper from your PC. It also will generate Sudoku puzzles which you can print and carry around with you to do on the fly. Good for travellers I guess.

check out the newest addition to the links on the right. Its a new blog from Salsarina and all round chick-a-dee, Tintin!

Go harass her to keep posting.

Afterlife

2006-10-06T00:48:00.000+08:00

Yes, I grew up aware that many of my relatives recognises this sorta thing, but the only thing that suprised me was that is cost USD1,200 for a dead bride. I actually have no idea whether a live one is less or more.

Assault

2006-10-05T09:32:00.000+08:00

I get into arguments with women all the time and stuff like this, just encourages me to continue to be my usual obnoxious self.

Hugz

2006-10-01T11:28:00.000+08:00

Ok, when I heard that there was a guy going around, wanting to hug people on the street, my first reaction was that he was some sorta creep that just wanted to rub himself up on people.

However, as soon as the video started, I realised that this was something different. The video speaks to me about the social isolation that we are facing and how Juan Mann (say it out loud) is trying to make a difference.

Possibly the most uplifting video I have ever posted.

Structure

2006-09-24T14:13:00.000+08:00

My loyal visitor will notice that my posts always have a one word heading. I like structure and brevity in most things in my life and I guess that extends to writing. This also explains why my posts are quite similar.

Including haikus, I find Flash Fiction quite interesting. This is writing which is limited to a certain number of words, and example of which would be the One Sentence Story.

I leave you with perhpas the finest example from Hemmingway;

For Sale: Baby Shoes, Never Worn.

Bond

2006-09-24T14:04:00.000+08:00

This is the theme song for the new Bond movie, Casino Royale. Chris Cornell had one of the best rock voices when he was in Soundgarden, but the story is that he wrecked his vocal chords with all that screaming which explains why this song lacks the vocal punch of his previous stuff.

quick trivia: Timothy Dalton was the first Bond to ever bleed.

2006-09-21T09:42:00.000+08:00

No not him! Latest reports are that he is now in stable condition.

If he pulls through this, the other two are SO going to pounce on him

Yuck!

2006-09-20T09:44:00.000+08:00

Surprisingly, this headline: "Jackie Chan admits acting in porn movie" is not the scariest party of this post.

Ok I chuckled a bit when I saw that the article was written by Winnie Wang (yes I have the mental age of a 4 year old!)

But scroll down and have a look at the co-stars..... SAMMO HUNG!!!! OMG!!! where is the mind bleach!!!!

I dont know how many of you have been following this new story. I reckon some people just have lives which are a constant drama because of the choices they make and continue to make. Have not decided whether to pity this human car crash, or just ignore her on her continued path of self destruction.

Also she has the amazing ability to alternate between the hawtness and the Jabba the Hutness
