Parenting
Sometimes I find myself wondering
Of how my life would have been
Or could have been
A lot more exciting,
A lot less distressing,
Maybe even interesting
If it hand’t been
For my parents meddling
In things I find myself in
But then I would not have been
If it hadn’t been
For their sweet loving
That brought me into being
To a world of living
And breathing,
Warm human beings.

Winner of The Holburne Dukes Portrait Prize 2006
The winner of this year’s biennial competition was announced at a reception at the Holburne Museum on Monday 30 October. The panel of judges, including the artist Sir Peter Blake, the Times art critic Rachel Campbell-Johnston, and writer and broadcaster Bel Mooney unanimously agreed the winner as The Artist’s Parents (after Dix) by Vincent Brown.
Sir Peter Blake commented that the portrait was ‘a beautiful and tender painting which showed great insight into the characters of the sitters.
Sir Peter felt confident that Vincent Brown would produce an interesting commission for the Holburne Museum with the £5,ooo prize.RachelCampbell-Johnston of the Times said that she loved the ‘unsparing exactitude of the portrait, its bleakness and the totemic feel of the figures’ She felt that the painting also demonstrated ‘great technical competence’.
Bel Mooney revealed that she was immediately drawn to the portrait as there was something touching about it which reminded her of her own parents. She said that ‘looking at the figures in the painting you feel as if you are looking at a real life story of two people; in a sense it is a novel in paint’.

Things I do when I’m bored:
1. Make random rubbish posts on other blogs on the intarweb
2. Play with my cat
3. Work on my plans for world domination
4. Attempt to hack into government networks (requirement for item #3)
Things I do when I’m extremely bored:
Rid the society of unwanted lower life forms by frying their brains. Here are some examples.
Case study #1: daviddelucca25 (horny mofo)
[12:48] daviddelucca25: hi
[12:48] daviddelucca25: im horny as hell, care to cam to cam darling?
[13:04] me: do you mean to say you’re horny now, or that you’re a horny person in particular?
[13:04] daviddelucca25: horny
[13:04] daviddelucca25: now
[13:04] me: you said you were in hell, how come?
[13:04] me: is that because you’re horny?
[13:05] daviddelucca25: cuz i gotz no one to play with
[13:06] me: is this type of play the metaphysical type?
[13:06] daviddelucca25: i
[13:06] daviddelucca25: dont
[13:06] daviddelucca25: care
[13:06] daviddelucca25: anymore
[13:07] daviddelucca25: fuck
[13:08] me: that’s funny, because neither do i. but for some reason you messaged me, and i thought i’d oblige by sending a response.
[13:08] daviddelucca25: (sigh)
[13:08] daviddelucca25: send to all
[13:08] daviddelucca25: and u and some other gals answered
[13:11] me: when you send a message to somebody, the normal reaction of the other party would be to send a response, as is the standard of discourse, ergo, you are just as obliged to respond back, probably due to lack of foresight in removing seemingly uninterested individuals like me from your “send to all”
[13:14] me: are you there? please don’t tell me your mind suddenly combusted.
Case study #2: milky_banana (monkey brains)
[14:08] milky_banana: where did u go

[13:04] milky_banana: hmmmm
[13:05] milky_banana: sohow u feel
[13:05] me: it feels weird, talking to a primeval like you.
[13:05] milky_banana: oh k
[13:06] milky_banana: did nt u take the pics
[13:07] me: i tried to, but my camera broke out all of a sudden when i tried to take a picture of you.
[13:08] milky_banana: so funny

[13:12] me: would you like ketchup with that sir, or would a big “fuck you” do just as well?

Katrina Halili – Hayden Kho video scandal
15 May2009
… AKA porno for the masses, starring Philippine sexy actress Katrina Halili and doctor-cum-singer-cum-MILF man Hayden Kho. They both have super hot bodies, which makes things quite easy especially for Mr. Hayden, who’s only a month older than me. Can I imagine going out with someone as old as my mom? I guess as long as she appears to be in her twenties and has tons of cash to spend, it doesn’t matter. Wooops! I shouldn’t be saying anything nasty about Quark’s mom. Sorry bro. Please point that gun away from me now ;<
Actual TV performance:
Here is a video of the alleged “practice” session:
They are celebrities in the Philippines, so videos like these spread rather quickly through mobile phones, PSPs, iPods etc etc so by the end of the day even your grandmother would have seen this hot hot HOT video. Whoever thought of putting camera and video recording capability into mobile phones is a GENIUS, I tell you.
And now, back to your regular program …

Google dream
12 May2009
- In the 70’s, I wasn’t born yet, but I wanted to work for IBM.
- The 80’s came, and I was born wanting to work for Microsoft.
- Then the 90’s and the Internet arrived, and I wanted to work for Yahoo.
- Today, I want to work for Google.
- ???
- ???
- ???
- Profit!
Footnote: It’s like, every geek’s wet dream. I want it so badly, that I will even work for them free. That last part was meant to be a joke. Or maybe not. I’m that desperate. If any of Google’s hiring managers are reading this, please hire me. If you’re my present employer, and you’re reading this, don’t fret. I love my job, and I work to keep it. When we dream, dream big, right?

Conquering The Universe 101
6 May2009
Those who dream of conquering the world are small timers. I, on the other hand, shall conquer them instead. When that is done, I will just sit back, relax, and let others do the work while the profits roll in.

It was bound to happen, one way or another. Today, my worst fears have been confirmed. All was well as I logged in to my blessed Twitter account. Everything appeared to be normal. But wait, something seems amiss. There’s a new search box below the favorites link, and when did Twitter have a home link? As I hurriedly clicked on the new links one after the other a deep, disturbing realization dawned upon me.
Twitter has been AJAXified™.
And by Jobe, I’m LOVING it. Twitter is like the kewlest thing, evar (next to Google, Linux, and the iPhone)

On Solomonic Wisdom
28 Apr2009
Jaime Garchitorena has written a piece on Solomonic Wisdom that particularly interested me.
Having spent most of my childhood going to Bible studies and such, I eventually came to a point where I outgrew these stories. I found many of them rather silly and bordering on fantasy. Walking through the ocean floor of the dead sea? Living in the belly of a whale? Whether these stories be borne out of divine inspiration, based on real incidents, or pure fiction, one thing remains true and these are the lessons that they bring.
That aside, sometimes I think science has made our lives more complicated than it should be. Can you imagine how much effort the modern man (or woman) must go through, just to prove paternal ownership of a child? Solomon, on the other hand, solved such a dispute with nothing more than a single statement. Cut the child in half.
Science may be a powerful tool, but the practicality of wisdom is unmatched.

Justice in the Philippines
27 Apr2009
Is there really no justice in this country? Having faced this myself, now I know the answer. The answer is NO. The world revolves around money. No matter how cruel that fact may be. That is life. That is how things are.
