!Boo! Archuletta and Castro !Boo!
Lately however, I’ve been having fun arguing with Mr. Fishbowl with our short YM chats.
We have similar POVs but we also have so many dissimilar likes. I don’t know, I just somehow manage to like things he doesn’t seem to. Therefore, we have a good time back sassing each other about them. It’s fun because he manages to make fun of me and my likes while I’m completely nasty towards his. A good current example would be our short cynical discussion about our AI bets…
paolo m: i'm gonna miss American Idol today.
paolo m: darn! i wanna see David and Jason. Those are my top 2
paolo m: i hate David Fuck'n Cook
Jigs: he's my bet!! :D
paolo m: i hate you… you just ruined my day
Jigs: Then my job here is done…
paolo m: why do you like him? He's a loser
Jigs: he's cool!
paolo m: oh c'mon. he's a dork
Jigs: and he's arrangements to the songs are great!
paolo m: ok ok... everyone of them can sing. Jason and David are cool and humble
paolo m: David is just an arrogant fuck. Lolz! I love cursing him
Jigs: Puh-leaze! Your David is just milking his naivete!
Jigs: And come on, Jason knows the ladies love him! That's the only reason he is still there!
paolo m: and david?
Jigs: David COOK, has talent!
Jigs: Plus, his brother has cancer man!
paolo m: you've been brainwashed… Come to your senses Jigs!
Jigs: I may be brainwashed, but you're heartless! Think of his brother!
paolo m: O c'mon David Archuletta couldn't sing for a year! And, david winning the competition
won’t exactly heal his brother
Jigs: Boo-freaking-hoo! Archuletta can’t sing for year! How tragic that is… You can't hate on a guy who dedicates his performances to his brother with cancer! Now that’s just heartbreaking.
paolo m: i dedicate his non-winning to his brother as well. Now we're even…
Jigs: Now that's just crazy…
paolo m: I know…
He’s funny, I’m nasty; he’s a bastard, I’m chaotic; he’s for change, I’m conservative (forever!); he likes Zac Efron, I loathe him. Yes, we have a multitude of differences and we constantly debate over them, but this weird comradeship thrives because of it. Personally, I think this is the stuff my friendships are made of…
So, got anything you want to talk about? Then just buzz me on my YM ID, and I'll do my best to chat you up and start a great conversation!

Goodbye Blog Break! Hello Summer Break!
I wonder, since summer break is upon us, will this encourage a fresh surge of bloggers? Will the blogs once again be teeming with posts almost every day? When I started my blog, it was on a summer break and as I remember it, every blog I visited was - for a lack of a better term - teeming with life both from the blogger and the readers. Everyone was so inspired or maybe excited to blog, even comment on posts! Of course, reciprocity is the key.
Will it be the same? I believe after this coming week, everyone will basically have free time (not referring to the working class of course. LOL). There will be time for excursions, time for cavorting, and time for oneself. Lots of free time. And finally, even some time left for blogging.
I however, feel sad, well disappointed in the fact that there are thousands of dead blogs out there. No posts for years, and they just stay there to rot. These blog hosting sites should really clean them up. Some of those blogs even have good titles! LOL! A while back, at one point in my blog life, I wanted to change the name of my blog. And every name I wanted was taken. It was such a waste because all of those blogs’ latest post was around 2000 or 2001. I wonder if can request to have those blogs deleted…Hmmm…
Do you think blogs will come alive again because of the coming summer break?
A Challenge For Your Inner Philosopher
Guys! Gals! What’s up with everyone?! Is it just ME or is there a virtual gloom or dejection looming over the blogosphere? I know I’m feeling some slump, but it shouldn’t stop us from writing something inspired! So, to challenge everyone to think and get their juices flowing while having some fun, I’m posting a pseudo-meme that anyone can answer!
From the Philosophical to the Comedic to the Blatantly Blunt, these questions will get you thinking or inspire you to write a noteworthy and creative post (I hope!). Answer everything! Challenge yourself and voice your opinions, let all of our thoughts bring forth chaos! Too much? Aaaaanyway, even though the pseudo-meme is open to all, I will tag seven people whose brains I want to sink my teeth into. Yummy…
What is the meaning of life?
If a tree falls in a forest with no one to hear, does it make a sound?
What is the fundamental flaw in human nature? Pride - or greed?
Would you kill one person to save a thousand? However, that one person is the most important human being in your life. Would you still do it?
Are men naturally Polygamous?
Are women naturally competitive with other women?
Is the human race essentially good?
"If all the world's a stage and we are merely players..." what game are we playing?
Have you been accused of being a genius?
In a society where everyone is "entitled to their opinion", what place is there for Right and Wrong?
Descartes said "I think therefore I am", How can one prove to themselves that another person exists beyond their imagination?
If it was never illegal, would you have killed someone by now?
Does everything in the world have an opposite? If no, give an example.
How do you define personal honor?
How would you describe the color blue to a blind person?
How will you prove that genuine love exists?
Will humankind annihilate itself eventually?
What is the greatest unsolved mystery on earth?
Given infinity, will all that is possible eventually happen?
Is it better to be uncertain about something forever, or know the truth and be very hurt through all your life?
Is it bad to call in to work because you are sick of it?
If you saw a yellow ball but everyone told you it was purple, who would you believe? If no, what would you do to prove your side?
Is education the filling of a pail, or the lighting of a fire?
What would you be willing to do to survive?
Is a lie a lie, if everybody knows it is?
Imagine yourself experiencing a car accident. What happens and how does everything look like after the accident?
Do you ever wonder if you're already dead and this is just your life flashing before your eyes?
(And finally, my favorite question of all…hehe..)
Should the conservative Christian husband of an atheist woman allow her to have an abortion if there's a chance the kid might grow up and turn into a gay Mormon?
There you go ladies and germs (I wonder who came up with that line), my thought-inspiring meme. Do try to answer everything! Have fun and get those juices flowing again!

Shelling out the LOVE
A HUUUUGE Thank You to three great graphic designers for helping me Pro Bono with my Advertising Project. To JAMES, BIM and KEVIN, I still don’t know how you guys do it, but you do it hella well!
A BIIIIIG Congratulations to my best bud REX for writing 200 sensible and note worthy posts! Well Done! You are twice the blogger I will ever be and I mean that whole-heartedly. Thank you for introducing me to this world!
A MAAAASSIVE good luck to all the bloggers I nominated in the truly wicked and endlessly controversial EVIL BLOG AWARDS!
JUICE, stop complaining about the fact I nominated you, I know you like it! Hahaha! I really do hope you win! So start shaking that yummeh booty!
REX, your controversial post was exceptional but you definitely have some stiff competition. SKYE wrote one tirade of a post. Good luck to both of you!
POLI, I was the one who nominated you! Mwahaha! And isn’t it ironic, we’re competing under the same category! Let us see who is deemed more Machiavellian! Hahaha!
TALAMASCA, ever the controversial writer! Congrats for your nominations in two categories (we’re also competitors)! Finally some recognition eh?!
This pseudo-awards thingy (which by the way is getting more serious by the day) was the brain fart of the most sinister of us all, the philosophical, the bastard, the GREEEEAT PAOLO!
Still on the Evil Blog Awards, I nominated a blogger who unfortunately didn’t make the cut, but I believe deserves to be noted and recognized. SLIM WHALE is truly an excellent writer with a VAAAAST array of metaphors and wide vocabulary under his belt.
Also, I have a couple of choice words for the JOYFUL CHICKEN and his GRAAAAND MAFIA…I will never let you have…my precious…You will have to pry it from my cold and sweaty hands before you can even have a whiff of it! The soft served ice cream is mine! Mine I tell you!
She didn't have a good photo of her in a nurse's outfit so I just used her grad pic. ;)
I've given out all the love I could give at the moment.
As the song goes, All you need is LOVE... Then here you have it...Pass it on!
