Have you ever seen somebody working on a fence and takes a hammer and hit their thumb and go "Awww... Buddha!" You ever see them do that? How many hit a gold ball like I hit a golf ball and they go "Ohhh... Mohammed!" Why do they call that name? You know what they do? They go "Jesus Christ!" "Jesus Christ!" Why do they call that name? Because I believe when a person gets hurt or they get angry, they wanna blame who? They want to blame God.

Re Anger
From the final seconds of How I Met Your Mother, Season 4, Episode 6...
You may think your only choices are to swallow your anger or throw it in someone's face. There's a 3rd option. You can just let it go. And only when you do that is it really gone, and you can move forward.

Micro Blogging
I am lazy.
Blogging takes too much effort. I gotta sit and think and write stuff. And if I don't write enough, I feel guilty about not writing, and that makes me want to write even less. It's just a bad fit for a lazy dude like me.
Enter micro-blogging.
I fool around with on Facebook and Twitter all the time. So I'm just going to add feeds to my FB/Twitter profiles so that you have a more or less real time update about what I'm doing in my life.
Cos I know you're stalking me like that... ;)

2009
Wow, it's been a while since my last update.
I find that more and more, I gravitate towards short updates (eg facebook status updates) instead of writing a lengthy note. It's faster, more convenient, and I don't get caught up in "what do I write".
But anyway, it's 2009. New year and all that. My theme this year is "It's About Me".
Yes, I go through theme years. Last year was "I'm Perfect", where I mostly stopped doing self development courses and just enjoyed being me. The year before that was "Manwhore". No explanation needed there.
This year, it's about me being more in touch with my wants and being OK with wanting what I want, while at the same time being OK with not getting what I want. It's about acknowledging and empowering my own desires, without clinging on to some preconceived/assumed/desired outcome. And I'm not even talking about necessarily acting on my desires, after all there are many times when acting on your desires isn't the "right" thing to do (eg steal a car that I want).
Let's see where that takes me.
On the lighter side, I had a pretty good day yesterday. I haven't seen Master Hung (my ex TKD instructor) for about 2 years. We met up last night at his dojo, and had dinner. I saw Rob at the dojo. Rob was a white (or yellow?) belt when I stopped attending. Now, Rob is a black belt and is teaching the kids class. Very awesome. :)

Creepy Facebook thing
As some of you know, I just broke up with the girl I was dating. So I was going through the usual house cleaning process. You know... Delete her number from my phone, and remove her from my Facebook friends list.
I logged in to Facebook last night, intending to delete her. I saw she was online, so I figured I'd send her a quick note that I was going to delete her, and that I hope she'd understand why I needed to do that.
However, when I tried to send the message, it would keep failing. My internet access stopped working. I couldn't refresh the facebook page. I was chatting with another person, and she said that she was able to access facebook just fine.
This happened for about 5 minutes.
Suddenly, I was able to access facebook again, and so I refreshed the page. My ex was still online, so I started typing out my message. I had barely started typing, when she logged off.
It's like something is telling me not to delete her from my facebook. What do you guys think?
