first, the headlines...

note to layoutperson: bezzy luv... maybe i should send you my wish lists more often... :) thanx heaps? i've never felt out of touch not reading the newspaper. it was an activity i consciously gave up some time back. these days, having had too much time on my hands, i found me reaching out for the links to the outside world again. and it's as ugly as it was when i saw it last. if anythyng, it's gotten worse. i turned to bbc a few days ago, to read about the "suicide bombers" of "pakistani origin". WTF man, where did the pakistani origin come in from? why cant they for once accept those individuals to be (somewhat) lawabiding citizens of United Britain? no seriously... two to three generations living in that country... these individuals dont see themselves as pakistanis, so why should you award them a nationality they have no affiliation with? *sigh*... i mean, it's just not fair. when the afghans holding pakistani passports pull weird stunts somewhere, it's pakistan's doing. when british born blue card holding indiviuals decide to blow themselves up, it's our doing. and when and if we do have a one in a gazzillion chance of being famous for somethyng... say a nobel prize in physics, we label the guy a non-muslim and scare him out of the country. wtf. anyways, here's a story that's bound to cheer you up. that's just the death-tool. shall we count the no. of houses that have been destroyed, the generations that have been wiped out before they were even given a chance to prosper... which reminds me, does anyone remember afghanistan? i honestly dont :D found thys story about an afghan warlord who's been given 20 years for crimes against humanity. umm... i have a few names i'd like to put up for the award :p *sigh* somebody stop me... i need to close all the explorer windows :$ waisay, i cant decide between these two... which story should get "how convenient" award for 2005? Polanski was too devastated to flirt with girls or Mafia boss walks free as key witnesses fall silent (ju-jitsu is actually a very interesting sport. it's dirty fighting, japanese style. so if you were to punch a guy in japan, it would be ju-jitsu). in other news, it isnt such a great time to be swimming off the italian coasts. oh buggah! my tour de europe will have to be postponed again... (obviously not bnecause of the algae, but simply cuz no one has promised to sponser it yet :p) here's a tragic story. i personally thynk these people should move. i mean. like totally. *blonde look*. (the sort of look that would get me thys) and here's somethyng special for all the loverly ladies out there... :p i thynk i need to stop. i havent done one of these blogs in months :) and i thynk i've enjoyed it. except for the initial part. it's such a weird world we live in. with so much going on, just trying to stay abreast with it all would drive you mad. and how life and death, tragedies and comedies are all coming along simultaneously... i guess it would get pretty depressing if we were living in a perfect world. there would be nothing to complain about. pakistan's been having the annual floods these days... ones we always expect but are never prepared for. so they killed about 700 people or so (the last i chked), wiped out hundreds of villages, thousands of homes... it was on the news. they were showing the plight of the people who had to pack their lives into small boats... and in that very same story, they interviewed a family who had come to the river bank for a "good time"... "the water level was high, so i brought my kids out for a picnic," said the guy. are we really that insensitive? or is my scope of thought too narrow... and i cant accept people trying to make the most of what little they have?
