What a night and what a day..and it's Friday once again

Had a good night with boys last night and the night was so so and that was when it hit the climax for the night when our good friend Jay decided to go tough (as usual) when the alcohol spoke.. hehe.... to shorten the story, our Robin Hood was about to fight for the poor against some evil and big dooDs from the ghetto and thank God *phew* nothing did happen. If indeed something did happen, we would have to unearth our dear friend from the hands of some humungous Shaqs.

That's what happens when beers are $5 a jug but was a good night out nonetheless. Flower city twice in one night was a first for me.

Reached home and right after dinner, was two dvds that stroked my craving for intellectual movies, Runaway Jury (My pick) was surely one of the must watch twice movies as it does take a few seconds before understanding the movies...thriller does a lil good sometimes. Next came Matchstick Men, and the story line was really a good one... "When you are wet, you might as well go swimming" and "When you go swimming, you know you are definitely going to get wet". Good lesson to be learnt from the movie which gave me a sense of familyness or familyhood if you like.

Had muh first streaks by professionals that is *wink Karen* and the color really blew me off my feet man. Awesome choice which didn't take much time from my consumer's buying process time.

Before I forget, a cool website for juicing out the creativeness in you when you feel 'not so' creative.

Graduation Dinner @ Iguacu's, Parnell

That evening was an eventful one, which turned out pretty well @ Iguacu's. We must have had the most enviable table which is set above everyone elses with a spiral staircase to ourselves with conservatory like windows above us. The amount of guests arriving was estimated just correctly with some minor changes but it was all good. Had one of the Chicken Breast dishes with potatoes and as usual, I had forgotten the name of the dish. Thougt one thing, paying up was sure a hell, but we managed to hack it.

Voted women's favorite email of the year: In the beginning

Another day has passed in this giant refrigerator and had spent most of the daylights searching for Lego sets for my 24 year old friend. Yes you read correctly. He means it when he says "I don't wanna grow up". This rather interesting email sure did light my thoughts into perspective but a little exaggerated on the countless amounts of chores.

And the email goes....

In the Beginning...

A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home. He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed:

"Dear Lord: I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through, so please allow her body to switch with mine for a day. Amen.

God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish. The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman. He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids, set out their school clothes, fed them breakfast, packed their lunches, drove them to school, came home and picked up the dry cleaning, took it to the cleaners and stopped at the bank to make a deposit, went grocery shopping. Then drove home to put away the groceries, paid the bills and balanced the checkbook.

He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog. Then it was already 1 P.M. and he hurried to make the beds, do the laundry, vacuum, dust, and sweep and mop the kitchen floor. Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home. Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework, then set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing.

At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper. After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded laundry, bathed the kids, and put them to bed. At 9 P.M. he was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint. The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said, "Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day. Please, oh please, let us trade back."

The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied, "My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were. You'll just have to wait nine months, though. You got pregnant last night."

Back from the concrete jungle after spending 2 nights

It was an unplanned trip over the w'end but it was good fun indeed. Met more people in the party at Jess' and which I saw the same stipper who was performing and me and Ralph were off to Burgerfuel which was more important in some sense. And damn I wanna say one thing, da burgers are f**king humungous. Given a choice, wouldn't wanna spend that much for a burger the next time and this time was just a case of convenience around Rodeo Drive, ummm... sorry, I meant Ponsonby Road... ;)



Here is a just a random shot in the ever busy Kwikimart with Lucy, Razlan and Yasir on the evening I arrive in the city for some adventure. Indeed it was.........dot dot dot....

Time for recuperation....and sorry for the long neglection of my blog.... now keeping sane with it....stay tuned....

Some inspiring but funny doses below
