Do have any idea how much porn has changed the world? What kind of control and effect it has had on the modern world, consumer products and a million other things?
What really decided who won between Betamax and VHS? Why did Blue Ray win that contest? Why do all DVD players have a multi-angle viewing button? Why can we send and receive pictures on our phones? Why is suddenly so important to have 3G phones? Camcorders… digital cameras, payper view, satellite and cable tv, the internet.. the list goes on and on.
Porn.. porn (and sex) is one of the leading driving forces behind a lot of technological advances. Now this won’t come as much of a surprise to some people, but I think a lot of people will be at least a little surprised.
Did you know that the reason VHS became the primary technology was NOT actually because Sony wouldn’t let anyone else use the technology. It was due to the porn industry choosing VHS as the platform on which to produce their films because it was cheaper for them to produce.. and suddenly.. loe all kinds of people had a VHS player (why buy the expensive one that won’t play your sexy films on it??)
Don’t believe me? Do you own a DVD player? Go check the remote. Does it have ‘cha Read the rest of this entry »
Being afraid of failure is STUPID . (<— I should write the book)
I freely admit I am a moron. I’m am terrified of failure, coupled with my shrieking fear of change I’m nigh on crippled half the time. The other half I just rock and stare at the wall praying it will all go away now, it never does you know.
You wouldn’t think it, (or maybe you would) but I really am. And that’s with my knowing why it’s stupid to be worried about failure. But obviously I don’t KNOW it. I know on some intellectual, theoretically level but it’s not part of who I am, yet! I mean look at the whole, quit my morning job business. Scary, but then what did I do with the whole thing? And then I was deliberating over that whole online course I was taking, now I’m just sorta floating around trying to choose a direction to move in.
Why? What’s the big hold up? I’m smart, I know how to do things, I’m extremely good at most thing when I put my mind to it. Hell I’m good at them when I don’t even put my mind to it. What is it that’s holding me back from…. taking over the world (
per-say)?
Fear, mind boggling terror. Of what? Failure. That’s right, I’m a moron. I’m completely freaked that I’m going to try to do something, loose a bunch of money, make some horrible mistake and look like a fool. Really what do I care? No offense but I don’t really care what ‘people’ think, so what the hell is my problem?
Here I am, telling you, how stupid it is to be afraid to fail. Hypocrite!!
Well, screw it! Hypocrite or not, I’m telling you all (and myself) to stop it. Stop holding yourself back, reach as far as you can. So what if you fall on your face, get back up and reach again.
If all you ever do and try is what you’re confidant of, you will never even come close to reaching any kind of potential. You will be like everyone else, mediocre, average, CRAP!!!
Well, what’s the art then?
Do you have to fail?
That’s pretty much it, isn’t it? You need to stop being scared, and the only truly effective way I know to stop being Read the rest of this entry »
So I was faced with a choice last Friday.
After work, I stopped at Sababas on the way to Editing (which is definitely not my favourite thing). When I got to work, I looked for my phone and realized it was gone. When I arrived, they told me that had called me and my co worker had answered. So I called her, and we arranged for her to leave it at the Highlife (like 7 11) near our school for me to pick up later on.
Had a chat with some friends after work, and when I went to get my bike (scooter) I discovered that they had shut it behind some huge locked gate. And I totally couldn’t get at it, possibly not until Read the rest of this entry »
Ok so I know this is random, but I was looking online trying to find out the nutritional values of pine nuts vs walnuts and cashews. I was just thinking about what kind I would like to buy for putting on my salads. I love pine nuts but they are hella expensive, so I was looking at alternatives.
Check out this link for all the detailed information you might want to know about nuts tee hee. [click here] The even have a little about their history and some cooking tips, of how to incorporate them into your diet.

I honestly I wasn’t even looking for all this, but I was really interested in all the cool stuff I found out. Like did you kn Read the rest of this entry »
I’m going to make a site, but I can’t decide on a domain name. It’s going to be funny picture and I have most things ready to go but I’m not sure which domain name to buy… it’s not about life in asia.. is crazy ass weird shit you see all the time here but you just wouldn’t see anywhere else!
What do you guys think? you can vote on more than one and suggestions are totally welcome. (my original idea was www.onlyinasia.com but it’s not available
)
please pass this along to others and give me as much input as you can… thanks guys!!!
I spent years telling people I didn’t believe in Marriage, and that was never entirely true. I don’t believe in the INSTITUTION of marriage. That paper, doesn’t mean crap to me, the legalities, whatever. But the commitment? The sanctity of the relationship? I do believe in that.
To be frank, the levity with which people enter into marriage offends me sometimes. Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t think there is anything wrong with ending a relationship that isn’t working, getting a divorce etc. But I do think that getting married doesn’t change the commitment you make to someone. In my opinion you can make that same commitment without actually getting married. And if you make a commitment, stick to it, really work at it and then if nothing can be done to work things out, you’ve tried it all, then end it. Not pft, I don’t like those curtains and the neighbor has a nice tush, grow up at least try.
Another thing that really bothers me, is how many people treat marriage and kids like a band-aid. Marriage isn’t a bloody fix!!! WTF. My first serious boyfriend had a little cheating problem, well I guess he didn’t have a problem so much as an expertise in the field. Once I realized what he was up to and finally confronted him about it, do you know what his solution to the problem was? Well he loved me, so we should run away and Read the rest of this entry »
Ok, so sit down and get ready to read.

What is a friend? How do you define friends? Are there really different kinds and levels? Or is it really just black and white?
Personally, I think it’s a little of everything. I do think there are definite lines but at the same time, for me anyway, there are multiple types and levels of friends. Then bring family into the mix, things get even more complicated.
Who is closer family, friends? Is blood thicker than water? You can pick your friends, but not your family… or can you?
I feel confidant that everyone has these thoughts from time to time, but maybe I’m wrong, perhaps it’s just me
. Either way I have friends, I have family but the lines get all blurred. I have friends that are great, I love them, but they aren’t REALLY friends. Not in the ‘my people’ sense. On the other hand I have ‘people’ who are obviously friends because you can’t become people with out being friends, yet I never see or talk to them. But in a pinch….
So who is a friend? Who isn’t? What makes someone your friend? A great time over a drink and a chat, regular lunches and confiding, close reliance on each other, there in a crisis, regular conversations, occasional deep and serious conversations, keeping in touch, or just Read the rest of this entry »
I’m stealing your idea.. why because it was good
It’s my friend Becky’s birthday. Becky is super awesome cool, and tons of fun. I think my favourite was the time that I showed up and rang her door bell with no advanced warning, from Taiwan
. Although cruising the beach on Canada and enjoying the “scenery”.. that was pretty epic too!
I only get to see her every couple of years when I go home, I’m still waiting on my visit over here
. But I always have a great time, and I really look forward
to the times we do hang out. Especially as we both have been working on being awesome possum, it’s great having someone cool to confer with who totally gets the need to have positive, fabu people to interact with.
Becky and I have a funny little history, she was my classmate’s little sister and our mom’s where friends.
Bex was having trouble with math so I used to go over and tutor her a couple times a week and hang out afterward. She was always fun, and good for a giggle. Didn’t really bother us, but it was a little weird back in school to be friends with someone a couple years out of your grade. That’s us always pushing that envelope (in a good way!
)
One thing I have to say, is I really love and appreciate how awesome Becky has always been. I have a lot of different types and styles of friends. But I have always been able to count on Becky for an ear, shoulder, hand (just full of handy body parts
)
and most awesome an encouraging word. Perhaps you don’t know how important that kind of thing is, but it has value beyond words.
Hugs Becky!!! I love you.
Happy International Becky day! W00T!
See how nice I am? Didn’t add anything about how you sneak into pictures, steal lip-gloss (and then give yours up to throw people off the sent), and full on plot PLOT I say. GRIN.
Tee hee… times twelvety five. But Becky… what we all really want, nay NEED to know is do you like sausage?



Sounds easy right? Pfft, totally isn’t at least not in my experience. And honestly I think this is the number one thing that hold people back. I could just write this WHOLE post about this and leave it at that. I won’t but I could.
Don’t get me wrong, everyone has an ‘idea’ of what it is they want. You might even be really specific, but how many times have you wanted something and not gotten it. A lot? Well then, are you sure that’s what you really wanted? Dig deep, hindsight is super clear. Can you see all the little ways you ham-stringed and sabotaged yourself? Did you change your mind a hundred little times, never moving in any clear decisive direction?
Sit down and write it out, what is that you want? In great and clear detail. BAM
Well duh, if I want it obviously I’m going to try to get it. Oh yeah… REALLY?? How many times have you thought I want (a better paying job, to travel, a nicer boy/girlfriend, more free time, to get in better shape, lose weight.. the list goes on)? Well if you thought it and then did it.. I have no idea why you’re reading this right now other than for the melodious sound of my imaginary voice in your head.
Obviously you have to take action, yet we often don’t. Why? Well see above, perhaps you don’t Read the rest of this entry »
Honestly, I’m really upset (too upset o be clever about it and think of a flashy title, no matter how important the title is).
I’m fine. Nothing has happened to me. But someone very close to me isn’t well, and there is nothing I can do. I can’t go see them because they are back home and I’m here. I can’t call because they’re in the hospital. I can’t do anything…. and knowing that doesn’t make me feel better it makes me feel worse.
I know I’m being vague, I know this isn’t particularly interesting or enlightening. But you’re just going to have to cope, it’s my blog and I’ll cry if I want to. :’(
So at the urging of a close friend I signed up for an online marketing sales type course called Teaching Sells. And there is a lot of interesting information and more importantly teachers and a network of other people trying to do the same things as I am. Making money online, with blogs marketing, membership sites etc. This network is good because people help you brainstorm, help encourage you when your down and give advice when your feeling lost and confused.
Sounds great right? Well what’s the catch? It’s not free (obviously), and it’s a little expensive. Don’t get me wrong, in the grand scheme of things it’s not, but it comes to about $2000 and it feels a little steep, perhaps I’m just cheap but it feels heavy to me. On one hand, ouch right… but on the other, all this information is nicely packaged so you don’t have to sift through the crap, plus there are people involved whose whole job is to help you make this work for you. Besides, if you have nothing riding on it, what is there to push you forward and MAKE you do it?
Perhaps some of you just have the ambition and Read the rest of this entry »
I feel like I should write this big ass post about Canada’s Wonderland… but honestly why? I had a great time there with my friends, I really wish I could have gone again this past trip. It’s a fun place. What else is there?
Well there is this video WOOO Tee hee… they told me no Camera… rebel
Seriously though watch the video!! Most excellent good times, plus you can laugh at Gabs and I screaming the whole time… Gabs has quite the set of lungs on her!
And there are a bunch of pictures from the day on FaceBook [here]
If you’re ever in TO and you like amusement parks (if you don’t what are you doing hanging out with me????) Go!!! It’s totally worth it.
But make sure to buy your tickets ahead of time, I think the place was called Mac’s Milk (some convenience store) or online… there are ways to get discounts (instructions here) so you pay 30 something instead of 50
.. but really if you live in the area a season’s pass is totally worth it..
But not what you might think. I didn’t do one and then learn some epic thing… I’m talking about the other blog, Boot Camp (bitches, babes, buddies).
I made this other blog, for a couple of reason, to help motivate me to keep on track with my workouts and to help push and encourage a couple of my friends to get into and stay in shape. Well it was a success and a disaster all at the same time. As a fitness thing… pffft, but it was a learning experience.
Initially I wanted to keep it a small ‘tight knit’ group, even going as far as to discourage people from joining in until the ball got rolling. Well I still stand by keeping things closed in a sense, but I think who was involved and how that happened didn’t work. I set it up for a couple of my friend’s here and invited one friend from back home to join in.
But I think I made a mistake, what I should have done was got some hardcore people who were committed to themselves to get the ball rolling. I’m still posting on there, but I’m the only one. So what I’m going to do is try to invite a few people who are ‘hardcore’ to set the tone and then invite others to participate.
So here is the site[http://bootcampb.wordpress.com/], if your interested in becoming involved send me an email and we’ll discuss it! Anyone is welcome to message if you think you might be interested!!
bootcampb@gmail.com <—- this is assuming I can get the damn email to work.
Never got it to work.. just email me at my normal address, if you don’t know it leave a comment I will email you.
Dude I love this movie, it’s all old like (1989)l, but Richard Prior and Gene Wilder… Classic! I just watched it again… giggled my self silly.
Now I’m totally having a hankering for more of these kinds of movies like, the 1988 awesomeness “Coming to Read the rest of this entry »
But I was really pissed about someone who knew me would say such an obnoxious thing.. even if he was joking. Here’s the convo…Him: did you seriously friend dump me?!?
Him: If you’ve seen my friend magda, tell her to hurry back to taiwan. being on vacation gives her way too much spare time. did you really think i was serious? are we really still in fucking highschool?
your entire blog is riddled with ignorant assumptions based on your opinions. you let your thoughts and feelings free flow without filter. yet you find it funny and have no concern about others reactions to them. i don’t get it. it’s all a little too hypocritical for me. seriously, wtf? what’s the underlying problem bringing all this on. this screams redirected anger.
you definitely went with over reaction to say the least.
Omigod omigod omigod.. so I was going to bed, but I can’t I have to do this first as a matter of fact I actually pushed a couple of posts back just to put this up right now!
Eric Martin (my friend with the gaming blog) posted this link on Facebook. He is an evil man… EVIL I have been giggling like an epileptic retard with a chocolate cookie and a flashy light.
You really must go check it out… I picked some choice ones (ooh earthquake) and added their captions bellow them. But really it’s totally worth taking a little gander through the site. ha!!! www.peopleofwalmart.com seriously… best find in ages!
Wow having another look it appears the site is very new, the first post (picture) is from August 28th. Sigh i wish I could get this much traffic this fast, then again my blog while Read the rest of this entry »
I pretty much lost a friend (will post about that in a couple of days) over this, which sucks. But then again he clearly wasn’t a very good friend in the end anyway so meh.
So this guy was complaining about how people on Facebook ruined this UFC fight for him, and I commented on him being a whiny baby. Just jokes (and he was cranky.. but whatever). One of his friends made some crack about .. “watch out, bitter white chick. Be careful.” That shit pisses me off.. seriously there are loads of bitter white chicks in Taiwan, and I’m not one of them. Even I think they are a little scary and spastic. I replied with something about his winning the ignorant ass award for the day, and he said ” I rest my case”.
This promoted me to send him a PM, because he’s a fucktard and I don’t fight publicly on FB. That and I thought it would be good for a giggle to see what this ignorant piece of sputum had to say. Totally WAS.
This is what I sent him:
So what’s this case that you’re resting? That you’re an ignorant racist jerk? Because that is how you came across to the public eye right there.
You realize you’re whiter than I am… and while I do not know you and do not presume to… how long have you lived in Taiwan? How are you’re Chinese skills? While you’re ignorant comments incline me to make certain presumptions about you I would at least give Read the rest of this entry »

Well I ever be? Perhaps. I’m looking into it because my big goal right now is to get paid for the things I am already doing and like doing. One of those things is my blog.

Side bar… completely ironic that I’m little miss bloggy pants as I only got my original blog under pain of smacking. Tracey had one, as an alternative to emailing everyone while traveling, and it really is a better alternative. You write it, and they come to read it, instead of slamming people’s in-boxes with massive email updates. I was Read the rest of this entry »
