we are all ego bastards , pride defines us all Posted by Hello

my attempt - sadly, 'fiercely aroused' did not make it pass the censors ( see expression and miscomm post) Posted by Hello

Expressions and Miscommunication

So i was reading National Geo last week , ( pretty pretty pictures ..god forbid i read it for the articles) and there was this article on expressions and how they cross cultural and social boundaries ... some fella went to study some obscure tribes and found that though they have never socialized with other 'civilized' societies , they had the same expressions for 'happy' , 'sad' , 'angry' ....therefore expressions are universal ( very sweeping but cleanliness is next to godliness after all)

But expressions are not easy all the time ....I mean body language is bloody difficult to understand sometimes ..reminds me of that poem 'Not waving but drowning ' ( i'll tell you bout it next time we're in Sentosa right after lunch in the water) - so in my quest to coerce frens to humour my ridiculous thoughts I'm been asking people to do ' on demand expressions' ..... the most challenging have been incredulous, happily fierce ( similar to psychotic but not really ....more Jack Nicholson in 'As good as it gets' and less 'The Shining' ) ..... but the one that takes the cake...that bakes my bacon .....that sizzles my shezizzle...is 'fiercely aroused'.... anybody willing to try that one?

Feminism Bra Burning Yada Yada Posted by Hello

Things i ponder bout me and woman

seikichi said...
You know what I read "The Ridge" lately, and this female writer used the bra as a metaphor, about how it creates a "mental straitjacket" on us as how it controls and shapes the female body. We should just take off this mental straitjacket and really celebrate emanicipation.


well first of all i have'nt worn a bra for years so i've been truly emancipated for years ...see me in my 'free' glory .....this bra discussion reminds me of the whole bra burning exercise of the 70s ...symbolic act of liberation ...hmm i propose that women have now converted what was once a delibitating crutch into a powerful tool... a woman in her bra can be pretty commanding and persuading and they know this ... I should know , my secondary school maths teacher conducted class in her bra and i scored an A for the exams the year she taught , this class was conducted in my mind's eye by the way

But this whole issue of empowerment is not that well understood at all ..whats the difference between a feminist and gender equalitist? Next time a woman is all in your grill bout chivalry , gentlemanly conduct and what not ...ask her ...Are you a feminist or equalitist? Coz i have little sympathy for feminist - they propose that women are superior . You are not going to win the gender battle bydeclaring unfounded superiority .. So bottomline , out with the feminist - in with equalitist

The whole thing becomes complicated when equalitist still want to enjoy gentlemanly conduct which they say have translated into 'good manners' .... preferential treatment is still preferential treatment ...its complicated no ? I always brush off 'gentlemanly conduct' as a British colonial construct, its prevalence in modern day Singapore a by product of colonial bygone days .

So what prompts my acts of 'gentlemanly conduct'?.... a mix of personal gain and common sense
I'll open the door for man or woman if they cant do it themselves and I might also open the door to exchange a smile with a passing female stranger .... i try not to be ruled by social constructs which I deem irrational ... i stress the 'try'

twin masterpieces Posted by Hello

I was there 190305

I’m having withdrawal symptoms from the events of last Saturday….the only remedies are a full on block party and a Fiona Xie action figure that dances when activated by voice ….the activation message .. ‘shake what your mama gave ya’…..
My personal visual smorgasbord of titillating pleasure induced by every hip shake, wandering hands and impish finger nibbling ended at 0235 a.m when Fiona descended from her heavenly dais coerced by two undeservingly mortal Chinese men….the aural stimulation though lasted till 4 a.m….the grandmaster did cut faster – a true education from one of the leading professors in the hiphop akademik world
Hip Hop was created in 1971 …Fiona was created in 1981…and then god rested, his twin masterpieces complete

FYI
“it was Cowboy (of the Furious Five) who pioneered phrases like, "Throw your hands in the air, and wave 'em like you just don't care!," and "Everybody say ho!"

The best kiss ever? Posted by Hello

Attractions Sme-Tractions

Can we control who get attracted to?

I was watching NCIS, a bitchin show bout Naval Crime Investigation and the lead character who has been married 3 times, always falls for redheads…funny thing attraction – can we control who we’re attracted to …. We all know about ‘types’ …as in you’re not my type …..so do the same type of people fall for the same type of potential partner ……I’ve always wondered about this coz when guys hang out in a clique , they’re bound to have similarities in character that binds them …a common thread that runs through the web of relations within the clique …. so its possible that guys from the same clique fall for the same kinds of girls or falls for the same girl. What happens then? If two or three guys falls for the same girl and they cant help it – how are things resolved? I’ve noticed how some fellas get really nervous when their girlfriends get along a lil too well with their frens … maybe they should get nervous , the potential for attraction is arguably there…. Hmm I guess its all about the follow up, the whole motive does not necessarily equate to murder schtick……

Boo! Posted by Hello


Trusted, Effective Treatment for Clown Fear
Our board-certified team specializes in helping individuals
overcome fears, phobias & anxiety of all kinds, and is
particularlyfocused on problems such as Clown Fear.

With a success rate close to 100% we can offer to refund
our fee to clients if they are not successful in overcoming
the fear.

What is Clown Fear?

Defined as "clowns", each year this surprisingly common
phobia causes countless people needless distress. Like
all fears and phobias, clown fear is created by the
unconscious mind as a protective mechanism. At some
point in your past, there was likely an event linking clowns
and emotional trauma. Whilst the original catalyst may
have been a real-life scare of some kind, the condition can
also be triggered by myriad, benign events like movies, TV,
or perhaps seeing someone else experience trauma.
We don't use hypnosis for Clown Fear but our modern techniques
are equally relaxing and enjoyable. Clients immediately notice
that they feel different. Once the unconscious mind feels safe
and learns how to respond appropriately, it will always know
- so the results are permanent. Clown Fear is gone. Forever.

Treat Your Clown Fear ­ Call Us Today. The CTRN Phobia Clinic

Reminds me of a joke I heard …. You know what it means
when a guy has big hands and big feet , he’s a clown…

Clown phobia ….i dunno whether to laugh or cry
…interestingly , if you see one than that’s the exact dilemma
you’ll be in …do you laugh at the fella’s receding hairline ,
amber hair and nose and gaudy get-up or just start crying?
I dunno … I blame it on Stephen King man ….
who the hell was scared of clowns before ‘IT’….

Interestingly, if the media has a large part to do
with the emergence of Coulrophobia ( I know its
so ‘cool’ to know the latin terms for phobias) , then
why the heck didn’t Ronald Mcdonald reprogram all
the kids into liking clowns. Then there’s Krusty from
Simpsons….alcoholic but still not necessarily scary…
he apparently is no match for the fear inducing
Pennywise ( the clown in ‘IT” , now you know ..so you
can call him by name when you next see him)
But you know whats really scary ….a combi of all
three….then you get a pro capitalist, alcoholic murderous clown….
oh sorry George Bush already exist

Call for unrestrained a'more Posted by Hello

Where is the love ?

“Another song that's super is the theme song from Closer, The Blower's Daughter. The kind of voice (and song) you can drop everything and make love to. I just love the empassioned male voice” Nyka

Oh how I truly wished there were more people like Nyka around….we need more love people…..couples should be canoodling in public …making out against cars …neath trees …. beaches ala from here to eternity ….I call for unrestrained ‘amore’ ….you know , when the moon hits your eye like a pizza pie ……that’s amore

But when I proposed this idea to a certain angelic soul with a devil heart , he shot it down…bang..bang….reason : some people just kiss ugly or look ugly kissing ..like Hitch says they’re overzealous sona-------….Hmm so will non attractive snogging be a ‘hitch’ (snigger snigger ) in my campaign for public affection….dunno

Next time you and you partner of choice pass me by , just go for it …do it nice and I will give you a full on salute ….if you’re amazingly good, i might even fly my flag at full mast ….errr kidding kidding .......okays I take that back , that was just sick

Canoodling anyone ? Cue empassioned male voices ….all in favor drop ye pants

Redemption Song  Posted by Hello

Mental Slavery

This image is of a sculpture that has been causing a bit of backlash in Jamaica. The sculpture, called Redemption Song was unveiled in Kingston's new Emancipation Park.
Critics have accused the sculptor of perpetuating myths about black men, as they claim the male is too well endowed. The sculptor, Laura Facey Cooper insisted she based the offending item on models and that it is in proportion to the rest of body. Since Redemption Song's unveiling, many have questioned whether emancipation and freedom are akin to nakedness while others are concerned about the size of the male's genitalia, calling it a vulgar display for a public monument.

Whats the issue here ?

That the artist created a sculpture with a large phallus which differs from classic European sculptures ? I refer you at this juncture to Michelangelo's David who sports a comparitively minor member. Then in comparison because of the larger utensil of procreation , this sculpture is deemed ' a vulgar display for a public monument'.

Did these people not get the message .. ' free yourself from mental slavery' I know its hard to disrobe ourselves of beliefs and ideas that we hold true, that guides us in this daily sensory orgy we call life but a sculpture that celebrates emancipation should not be belittled so carelessly(irony here being belittled for being 'overly' enlarged)

So i pose this question ..how many of us can actually celebrate this sculpture as what was intended by its creator ... 'transcendence, reverence, strength and unity through our procreators - man and woman '.............Maybe you cant cause you're mind is still enslaved by the stereotypes and assumptions you've picked up or you're a slave to a penis fixation which i would'nt worry about because most people , i think , share your fixation or you might just have a small penis in which case this sculpture is a personal '$4 million' bronze insult ...hey whatever the case no one's judging you

One Malay Woman Posted by Hello

One woman. One Malay woman made a difference. Madam Sahorah Ahmat. I was drawing comparisons between this lady and Rosa Parks, commonly deemed the initiator of Negro civil rights movement when she refused to sit in the ‘coloureds’ section of the public bus ….. interestingly she made her mark in history by sitting on the heiny ( is this how you spell posterior?) and Sahorah did it by chilling in a stretcher ..Just like Cedric the Enterntainer said in Barbershop .. “ All that woman had to do was sit on her ass”…but still the picture and accompanying text set me thinking

1) Why have we not heard about this lady before?
2) Should we deem this remarkable effort to vote, an ingenious power play of the PAP or an Olympicesque effort of one woman to make a difference
3) In an alternate dimension, Malay parents bring their kids for weekly visits to a park in Geylang that was built to celebrate Sahorah Ahmat’s galiant efforts
4) In this park is a 12 foot statue of Sahorah , still in her stretcher holding a PAP flag
5) Sahorah should be credited for initiating the whole ‘lepak’ culture
6) She is a constant reminder of the ability to practice affirmative social/political action even when stricken in the lepak state

For those curious , this was 1961 and the PAP and Communist Party were fighting for majority votes in the Government Assembly

Negrophile Trivia # 1 :Can anyone name this woman? Posted by Hello


Old boy - oh boy Posted by Hello

Incest
n. Sexual intercourse between two close blood relatives such as brothers and sisters, parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren, or aunts or uncles with nephews or nieces. Even if consensual between the parties, incest is a crime is all states

For the moment guys and gals, lets forget the legal sanction.In the final scene of this Korean flick [ WARNING SPOILER AHEAD] , the fella in the pic above realizes he's been canoodled into fornicating with his daughter [ drugs+mind games = canoodled] . He then asks a shrink to hypnotize himself into forgetting she was his daughter and they lived happily ever after as man and wife.. This set me thinking

1) the crime of incest is very much socially imbued into us , a form of construction and if we are
able to divorce ourselves from these societal beliefs,norms and pressures then we are able to
carry out various activities, we once deemed heinous or unnatural
2) so if we are able to change society's views (hypnosis or mutiple viewings of tarantino flicks) ,
we might then forward the agenda of deviant groups and activities
3) now stay with me , by extending this arguement could one day phedophilic activities be
acceptable ? I mean we once thought male-male , female-female encounters were unnatural ,
now its A-OK......so will phedophiles ever be okay?

some parting trivia : Great Balls of Fire
"On December 12, 1957, Jerry Lee Lewis (the singer not comedian) married 14 year old Myra Gale Brown, his second cousin. Cousins or second cousins getting married was a common practice in the rural Southern United States in the Fifties, but when Jerry Lee went to England in 1958, the press scandalized his marriage."


where from the fro ? Posted by Hello

"An Afro is a hairstyle in which the hair poofs out from the head like a cloud. Some people wear their afros quite large, to several times the diameter of the head. The hairstyle gained popularity among African Americans during the 1960s and 1970s, in parallel with the growth of the American Civil Rights Movement. It requires tight curls and stiff hair ."

The motivation for this post was my recent watch of an episode of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model Search ( one of many in my ongoing research for my upcoming novel " The power of lycra - oooh how it gives me the tingles ") ..... well.....in this episode, a particular female negro model went goonygoogoo when the stylist insisted she sport an afro......seriously she was more furious than the hand-iwork of a 30 yeard old man who collects stamps enjoying bedroom me-time. This set me off thinking :

1) how far the afro has fallen from a covert gesture of civil protest to a disgarded hair style
choice
2) I've never been upclose to an afro in real life , would i be scared when i see one ?
3) Do i have a fixation for black culture , am i a negrophile ? Kinda like J.D in scrubs except i
dont have the the doctorate nor black surgeon best fren-so close we're almost gay-turk

my first post - random thots with a side order of trivia , i've decided that will be my modus operandi ..so tune in for more interesting trivia and inane ramblings of the funky cold madina
