Dry dreams and loud sex

Yesterday I read two articles, one stating that GenY men are becoming more metrosexual than ever, spending ridiculous amounts of money on cosmetics, waxing and tanning. The other article was about a couple who got told by the court to put a damper on their loud sex.

Theses two stories have absolutely nothing in common, but I interesting none the less.

The first one pissed me off…soooo much money…the only thing that popped into my head was ol Chopper’s Harden the Fuck Up!
Then I saw the new add campaign for Carlton DRY. called Cartlon Dry: Dry Dreams. Brilliant!! Here are 3 of the adds so far:

That must at least show that there are some who stay clear of the cosmetics and metro-shit.

The second story can be read here…but basically it is about a couple who’s sex life was so loud, it sounded like someone was getting murdered.

The only reason I found this interesting/funny is because I can tell a similar story….no… it wasn’t me.

I was awaken one night back in South Africa hearing someone scream. This is Sandton right, middle of the night and I heard screams close by. My instincts kicked in and I reached for the phone to call the coppers. I knew they wouldn’t react to a single phone call at night about screaming somewhere in Sandton so I though I would listen and try to figure out from which direction it came (no pun intended) from at least. The screaming was really brutal, but I decided to go back to bed and try to plug my ears. The problem was that the screaming (loud and proud) was rhythmic…yip..rhythmic…

So either some one was having very loud sex or someone was getting butchered for 20 minutes and only allowed  to scream to a rhythm.

I’d put my bet on the first one.

Got a secret?

I’m all for honesty and I tend to tell it like it is (or how I see it). I don’t like to bullshit people or beat around that bush….wait… let me rephrase. I do like to bullshit people because most are gullible and will almost believe anything you say. But spending time trying to explain why you “had” to lie is a general waste of time and energy so just don’t do it.

But it’s not just about lying is it?

I guess some people really have to let something go, you know – getting it off their chest,  or need to tell another person something without feeling embarrassed. Get it out in the “open” but still feel keep your anonymity.

I saw a post on facebook by one of my friends that linked to a  another blog called postsecrets. It is just a blogspot blog but with a unique idea. You email/post the author(s) an anonymous postcard with a confession of some kind. Some are quite funny and then there are some that is just plain sad.

Here are some of them :

how about this one?

Then there are more some odd ones:

Could there really be such a hype about this sort of thing. Could most of these be made up? Don’t know, but I had look on the facebook and came across this little app called honestybox:

Yip. I even added the picture so you don’t think I make this shit up. and last I looked it has 209,660 fans…

So there must be something behind the hype…

Damn, I don’t have anything to add to the hype…might be because I’m still to lazy…

Californi-what-ion??

This weekend I finished watching the first season of Californication. Yeah I know it is the first series and old, but it probably wouldn’t help by starting to watch Season 3 which started 27 Sept if I know squat of the first one right?

I never actually had the intention of watching the series. I liked X-files but never liked David Duchovny’s role. (opening myself to X-file followers onslaught?).  So we got the first season in the bargain bin and decided…fuckit, why not?

anyway, it was the perfect excuse to keep my wife busy while I get intimate playstation time! Apparently the series is quite good and I finished my new game way tooo early. So I decided to attempt to push my patience one more time with Duchovny’s acting skills.  And was I surprised. A pretty impressive progressive plot and overall story line. I do actually know nothing about film studies and cinematography, but they way the video snippets were worked in to show “happier” times and last episode showing how alone he actually is was damn good.

Hank’s play on words and interaction with others made me smile more than a few times to say the least. He doesn’t mind getting beat up and packs a punch when he needs to (wants to).  Hank tends to be socially awkward because he wants to, he likes taking the piss out of people, but tries to hold some kind of moral standard (towards some people that is).

And how cool is his old beat up Porsche Carrera??

Movies in 3D

I remember the day when I flipped through colourless comics with a pair of green and red glasses on. Looking at dinos in 3D! That was pretty damn cool.

Years later came 3D rendering with the likes of Quake I setting a benchmark.

The other day I went to see UP 3D. That was already pretty impressive. The first 3D animation I’ve seen in a long time… and proper 3D.  Today I went to see A Christmas Carol 3D. That was pretty damn awesome as well. Some damn good flying sequences and use of some out-of-screen scenes. O yeah, I saw Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is going to be in 3D as well!!!

Then I thought to myself: Myself, shouldn’t this become the norm?

I know the G-force game attempted a 3D version and I would actually like to try it out. But think about it….3D games, 3D in house movies.

 

The facebook experience

I’m quite the facebook user. I tend to use it to keep in touch with friends across the waters… or just to use it to take the piss out of some one.

The internet is packed with some users posts. Some quite funny and entertaining. Here is one of them:

Apparently there is a group being formed to add a dislike button to all comments and pics etc. I would like that. Again just to take the piss out of people. Why not dislike everything everybody says? Even if it wouldn’t make sense clicking the button on a comment…just because I can.

–Edit–

I might have found it!

I wonder if Mr. Fox succeeded in his quest of blowing up that old building, would it have changed anything really? Would the chaos that came from that not have created a worst monster than the one he tried to get rid of?

Was his cause noble? Don’t really care… At least something in history worth making a few films about.

All in a day’s work

Yesterday we had an interesting work day….well partially interesting anyway.

It started off with coding, talking, reviewing, more code and suddenly it all came to a screeching halt when the power went out.

This happened once before, but that time the building’s generator kicked in. So while I was running round opening server rooms’ doors so it wouldn’t get to hot in there and trying to figure out where the KVM console is in the dark through screaming UPS alarms, the HR manager was phoning the building manager to find out what is going on.

Apparently a power generator needs diesel… … …

After all the servers died and we were left sitting and doing nothing, one of my colleagues turned to me and said: “You wanna arm wrestle?”. With nothing else to do, I said: “pfft…ok”.

We there we were sitting in the kitchen ready to arm wrestle. And when we started I couldn’t stop laughing. It must have been a funny scene. Two men working on computers most of the day trying to arm wrestle. One of them all red faced trying to budge the other’s arm. The other…me…laughing and winning… first the right, then the left.

Yip….2-0

Stats about people?

You may have noticed a few changes in the blog…or you may not, because no-one ever reads this shit. But I found it quite interesting the other day to see that there were a sudden spike in the amount of people visiting this blog.

When I mean spike..I mean 3 or more people other than the usual stalkers. Let me show you a little bit of this blog’s stats:

 

Notice the  bit where it goes above 16…interesting…then if you were to be bothered to look at my posts around that date (might only be one), you’ll notice it is about the sexpo…that’s right …sexpo and not even anything interesting on that post. I mentioned that I might go there. So my only conclusion is that the others (not the usual stalkers) only got to read my un attended blog because I tagged sex/sexpo in it.

That brings me to the next bit…are you reading this because you are one of the usual stalkers, or because I tagged sex/sexpo again?

Brutal Legend, brutally awesome!!!

So I thought the sexpo would have been an interesting addition to my weekend. but it came and went …wait that just sounds wrong doesn’t it. But anyway, the next day I bought myself 2 PS3 games. One being Borderlands. I looked through the games and saw Brutal Legend with Eddie Riggs (Jack Black’s character) holding a flying V guitar and a double bladed axe. Apart from laughing out loud, I pointed to it and said to my wife, “Hey, that is that new game with Jack Black as the main character.” Then one of the guys working there stopped and said “Yeah maaaannn… That game is awsome!”.

I was quite surprised because I made the comment to my wife in my native tongue, not in English, but none the less. So he left and I stood there looking at the game…looking back at me… and I decided…fuckit, I buying you.

As I was paying for the game, the Dude came back and handed me a Brutal Legend shirt as well. Nice!

I started playing the game, and was enjoying every little bit of it!

Even the game menu at the start of the game is fucking awesome!

Not to give anything away, but think about it. Axes, guitars, hot-rods and metal…*sigh* Then there is Ozzy and Ian “Lemmy” Killmister!!!

 

Right, I might just skip work and go play some more!!

Brutal Legend

 

 

Sexpo….tempted

I’m tempted to go to the Sydney Sexpo over the weekend. TAke a look around and compare it to the one held in South Africa.

I’m definitely not expecting much…I mean really…. it’s going to be boobs, a dude painting pictures with his penis, poles and shops. And naturally a lot of race-car-girls walking around with flyers to more shops. They did mention that the Krusty Demons are going to be there…mmm….high flying motor cycles….. I’m also really tempted to get myself a motor cycle again…I know it will be a luxury if nothing else….but stil…*sigh*

 

But before all that happens, I’l have to get out of my pjs and go to the beach. Weather permit.
