deliberate misquote

If you had one shot, one opportunity.
To have everything you ever wanted;
Even if it meant hurting someone you care about,
One moment. Would you take it?
Or let it slip?

Always Look On The Bright Side of Life

On The Bright Side is today. And no, I'm not going. How am I feeling about that? Devastated and deeply regretting not buying a ticket.

In case you don't know what it is (How could you not?!), it's a music festival consisting (this year) of Mumford & Sons, The Strokes, Angus & Julia Stone, Bluejuice, The Middle East, Band of Horses, Art Vs Science, and Hot Chip. 

As my more amusing posts seem to be when I'm complaining about something, I regret to inform you that this one isn't one of those. Not that I have nothing to whine about, it's just that defaming my family online is the last thing on my mind seeing as one day I'm going to be rich and famous (DUH) so the last thing I'll need is something to uh, destroy my reputation. Funny, no?

Anyway, as to the title of this bloggg postttt. Taken from? A quote of a wise old man? Not exactly. But I'd be happy to place Monty Python into that category. For those of you unfamiliar with Monty Python and their...work, shame on you. For they possess some of the greatest comedic minds of all time. And what can I say? They're British.

 Monty Python

So here's a list of the funniest out there:

-Monty Python

-Lee Evans

-Catherine Tate

-The Mighty Boosh

The Mighty Boosh

And that's all I can remember off the top of my head. But it's definitely substantial enough, trust me. Go on YouTube and type up any of those, you will be kept laughing. I assure you.

And I must be off -  I have a life to live. Not.

Why boys are like toothache.

So it's over. And because he has been a major part of your life, of course you'll miss him. It's perfectly normal.

It's like getting a tooth pulled out; after the dentist takes it out, after it's gone, you're relieved.

But how many times will your tongue run over the spot where the tooth used to be?

 

Probably a hundred times a day. Just because it was hurting you doesn't mean you don't notice it now that it doesn't. It leaves a gap, and sometimes you see yourself missing it terribly. It's going to take a while, but it takes time. 

Should you have kept the tooth? No, because it was causing you pain. Pulling the tooth was the right decision, even if it's going to hurt.

blood-suckers

So I shouldn't have got home at 12 last night/morning and gone to sleep at 7. Because now I'm awake again and I don't feel so great. But I have an almost valid reason!

In HK, during one of my bored moments spent watching the TV, I came across this show called the Vampire Diaries. And I have no idea when - but I think it was - on TV screens back home because I don't usually watch any TV...

But I love this show. So I'm downloading the whole first season - 22 episodes. (Do not tell my parents that is why the internet is behaving so badly.) It's got funny moments, romantic moments (duh vampires) and suspenseful frightening moments. I mean, I hate Twilight with a passion because although it's not a shit idea (though overused/slightly unoriginal) it's just written and performed by the wrong people. And the Vampire Diaries was a book series back when Stephanie Meyers was in nappies. No, I take that back, she's not that young.

And apart from all those *moments*, here's the other reason why all sane girls - and some guys, of course - should watch this show:

Stefan Salvatore. Vampire. Good Vampire. In love with Elena, protagonist.

Mmhmm. Six pack.

Stefan and his evil brother Damon.

Damon Salvatore. Vampire. Bad vampire.

Couldn't find many photos of this guy (the one below is from some random other show)

Matt Donovan, school jock. In love with main girl Elena.

Jeremy Gilbert, brother of the main girl, cute or what?

Ben. Evil vampire. Haven't seen enough of him to know what happens to him.

And there's quite a few others as well, but I couldn't find any decent pictures of them...

Conclusion? Watch this series. NOW.

You know you want to.

...there were funky China men, from funky China-town

Word of the day:
Asian - of or relating to or characteristic of Asia or the peoples of Asia or their languages or culture. Asians are usually smart and have the following aspects although not limited to:
1. straight A's
2. strict parents
3. good at Maths and Science
4. superb exam scores
5. some can dance
6. good at video games
7. generally dominates at anything they set out to do.synonyms: oriental, stingy, smart, awesome but not as awesome as Eurasians. :)


So I went to Hong Kong recently. I had the intention of putting here a big sort of daily journal entry thing for my trip, inclusive of photos, (eek Identity theft!) but instead of boring you to death with every little detail I thought was amusing at the time, here’s a shorter...blurb thing.

Hong Kong. A place full of history, asian people, and lots of tourists from all over the world. Some hot. Some not. A place where you’d see thousands of different people, each day, that you wouldn’t see in a month back home. A place where there is such a variety of food and shopping places you wouldn’t want to leave. 

But then there’s the weather. Because in summer this place is 35 degrees, with at least 97% humidity. Which means you will be sweating the moment you leave the airport to the moment you walk back in through those doors. And then there are the people who don’t know what deodorant is. And somewhere along with them there are those seedy men you will find around every corner, in every shop, restaurant, swimming pool, hotel lobby, train station, tram and bus. No kidding. Dress like nuns, ladies, tis the only way you can avoid them...

I guess every place has its upsides and downsides, you gotta hope it’s more of the former.

Couldn't find a 'quote of the day' with the any Asians in it. Please, if you have one, give it. Now.
