Darling, how was your day today...

*spoken with a fake English accent*

Sitting on a plastic stool on a rather grubby SS2 pavement with a huge jar of syrup filled 'Lychee Special', I was duly informed (albeit in jest and without malice) that my blog is only rants punctuated by pictures and jokes, I have decided that my blog needs to have some 'human activity' - i.e. the coming and goings of my rabid cow life...

Thus,
I have decided to put more ramblings - entries that answer the perpetual "Darling, how was your day today?" question.

So here goes...

Work is hectic, juggling the interests of 4 companies is tideous at best... and confusing. The spark of the day? Dear dear Vera is questioning my sexual orientation (with good reason as I posted up in excess of 25 pictures of Greg on facebook)! *grin*

And I am travelling south again... in the evening.

Enough?
*grin*

The level of our enemies...

I have been angry of late... mostly because of the issues at work and as well as in the home front.

Actually, not angry...
just irritated...
really irritated...

the 'I have an itch at the back of my eyes and cannot scratch it unless I claw out my eyes' kinda irritated!

Needless to say, work and personal stuff aside - another irritation is actually from the political front. Yes... I know, politics is the new black on blogs. But I got riled up by a few hypocrites, a 'lets overturn the people's votes by bypassing the state tourism exco' member of government as well as other Very Irritating Politicians (VIPs).

The reason why I am putting all this here is not to create another hotbed of dissent but rather that I realised something when we get irritated... we tend to drop down to the level of our enemies...

Yesterday, I came within an inch of shooting a 'Vox Populi' email to the friendly people at Malaysiakini. I even typed up my comment and it goes along the line of - '...cut off the elected state governments again in arrogance or rather stupidity and be prepared to have a PR federal government (if and when elected) to do the same to BN held states...'

Today, I was engaged in what is best described as 'A modern practical dissertation of the tactics of an Italian prince - Nicollo Machiavelli'. Although the target of the said discussion is an hypocrite, I suddenly realised (around 10 minutes ago in the shower) that if I had went ahead with my ideas, I would have committed a grievious error - especially in the eyes of the world, and the Lord Himself.

This sudden 'revelation' has given me pause - that I have to cut through the mist of irritation and think the 'Godly' way out of things... not only on the political front - but also at work and the home front.

*grin*
Who said bad politicians have nothing to teach us...

It's Not Easy...



I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
I’m just out to find
The better part of me

I’m more than a bird...
I’m more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It’s not easy to be me

I Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I’ll never see

It may sound absurd...
but don’t be naive
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed...
but won’t you concede
Even Heroes have the right to dream
It’s not easy to be me

Up, up and away...
away from me
It’s all right...
You can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy...
or anything…

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me

It’s not easy to be me...

Don't know why I suddenly felt related to this song... Not that I am trying to say I am superman or anything. *grin* However, I do have a funny red sheet...
