..Actually the purpose of this post was to point out that most people are unhappy because they spend their time fighting and whining (when they have a good deal) and simply never realize how lucky they are…

…but frankly, who gives a shit anyway.. so instead of a long boring rant, I’m filling this post with hot pictures of Jessica Alba instead…

Yes I know it’s old news.. but I finally got to catch the rerun of the rerun of Miss Universe. What stood out was Miss USA’s woes.

Once upon a time there was this guy who could turn water into wine. That is cool (and practical, at a party) but some guy has apparantly done one better and turned salt water into fire.

So there I was, quietly driving along when a tuk tuk guy decided to dart onto the road from my left side, and cut across me, to reach the right side of the road.

Kottu has changed quite a bit since in the last year. Most of the original bloggers have vanished except for Indi and Electra perhaps.

A host of new blogs have come up, some quite interesting..

Been a while since I updated this site.. About an year almost. Anyway, I’m back so stay tuned for more of the usual madness..

Over 2,500 years ago today, The Buddha expounded the Dhamma, and exhorted us to use it as a tool to free ourself from suffering. Today, we “Buddhists” remember him as we celebrate (sic) Vesak, by lighting up lanterns and decorating the city with colored light bulbs. Actually, our priests, as the official custodians/guardians of the Buddha word, should probably be pointing out that what we are doing isn’t Buddhism, but it appears they are busy.
