As I squat and shit...

As I squat and shit, I read extensively. That's probably why I'm so smart. Sometimes I got so carried away reading that I forgot I was half naked. And when I'm half naked and showing belly button, wind will goes through it and cramp my stomach so bad that I have to shit again. Two separate dumps in a single sitting. I do have rock hard abs. Supply me booze and I can live in a cubicle forever.

Anyway during the last sitting, I was reading a dogeared book of The Archies. And it hit me. Archies and gang are biblical or diabolical, which ever way you would call it.





                   

    Archie - Lust                        Betty - Envy



                  

Jughead - Gluttony               Veronica - Pride                                      



                    
           
    Reggie - Greed                             Moose - Wrath                                                                                                



                                    

                           Pop Tate's Soda Shop - Sloth??!



Scooby Doo and frat gang are not in Archies, I just use that picture cause I can't get better cartoon soda shop images. And these two series sure have a shitload of white folks in it.




                                   
                   
                                   P.S: I used to have a crush on Elizabeth 'Betty' Copper.

Why marry?


Why marry?


   I’m twenty five years old, I have a stable job and in a steady relationship for four years. I am ripe for marriage.  It has become obvious that no matter how long I can wait, marriage is the next stage of progression in my life. But is it necessary for people to marry?

   Marriage is often included in the grand scheme of the process of human living. It is a stage of maturation in adulthood where one leaves the comfort of his or her family to create a family of their own.  Traditionally, getting married goes beyond just the lovers. It had meant fulfilling a critical parental duty to see their offspring starting their own family. Being married at the coming of age is also important for social acceptance. One can’t help to wonder and even doubt the character of the individual if he or she remained a bachelor or spinster.  Being married and having children satisfy both heredity and social expectations. However living up to those traditional roles often assumed that being a mother and a wife is enough for the female gender. Women usually have to give up their careers for the sake of their family. In such contemporary times, women held higher offices than before and even run for the position of world leaders. Hence the context and roles of marriage must evolve to cater gender equity, and traditional expectations must be reviewed for its practicality for otherwise marriage will become a form of burden for ambitious career women.

   Companionship is vital when one age. Nobody wish to die alone. Having a spouse to care of one another in ailments and loneliness is an ultimate happiness that a couple could attain from their marriage vows. But living together has its downside too. After the initial honeymoon period, most couple faces domestic troubles like invasion of personal space and freedom or having to put up with one another’s household quirks.  Spouses also have to endure the difficulties of staying with demanding in-laws. Sometimes, should the love between a married couple go wayward and domestic violence can happen. The home they had purchased with gay anticipation that they are going to spend their lives together in happiness turn to a jailhouse where the spouse suffers in silence and misery.

   Marrying the spouse of your children and providing a home environment to nurture them is morally and socially expected from the society. Even though it is not so much a taboo now than before that single parents are discouraged, it is still essential for a child to grow up in a home where there is fraternal and maternal love. Being in a healthy marriage sets an example to offspring that they can one day have a blissful family of their own too. However not all marriages have happy endings. A well intended home can be ruined by domestic abuses, extra marital affairs and financial troubles. Often, naïve children are affected badly. Witnessing their role models argue and fight constantly damage the young minds emotionally, mentally and sometimes physically. They can grow up to be incapable of forming healthy relationships with others or even entangled in unresolved emotional or psychological issues like anxiety or inferiority complex that will hinder their functions to society.

   Then why get married when there are obviously many implications not only limited to self but affecting others as well? Accepting the responsibilities of marriage is accepting enormous burdens of finance, fidelity and parenting stressors. It can be overwhelming for newly weds. Although it would seems like a grand idea to just date forever. But as we had examined, marriage is not solely a personal affair between two people but it involves our parents and our children and even the society as well. Perhaps in near future we would dispose of the customary expectations of marriage and abolish its legislation altogether. People will still marry because it is innate in human instinct to want to be with their loved ones, to mature as adults welcoming the challenges of marriage and parenting and to pass on their wisdom to their lovechild, thus sealing the circulatory human experience of existence. To make marriages work, couples would have to be prepared mentally and emotionally to spend their lives with one another. They should have consider their compatibility in decision making, their willingness to compromise to one another and their level of resilience in times of troubles prior in committing to each other. They should also identify sources of support should marriage becomes too overwhelming. Some of the best supporting networks can be our parents, our friends and even spiritual support from churches. Cohabiting before marriage also helps the couple to be prepared for their shared lives ahead.

     In conclusion, marriage can be just a certificate to bind two people in the eyes of laws or it can be the greatest testimonial of the love between a man and a woman. It should be thoroughly considered by lovers before saying ‘I Do!’ on the altar. It should never be decided on impulsion as regrets and dissatisfaction in marriage often occur when the couples are not ready. There will be many challenges in the long road of marriage; therefore it is quintessentially for couples to examine the properties of their love so that it can stand up to the storm of married life.

On Kangaroos

Going through a series of night shifts, Roach Nurse was drained and tired. At the end of the shift, she just want to go home to scrub her feelers clean.

Roach Doctor Douchebag: 'Hey nurse! Get me the casefile of patient XYZ.'

Roach Nurse: 'It should over there with the other doctor.'

Roach Doctor Douchebag: 'It's not. Right. Where is it?'

Roach Nurse (Pissed off): 'Should be around.'

Roach Doctor Douchebag: 'Well, it's not!' (Began to follow the nurse around like a douchebag.)

Roach Nurse (Exploded): 'Fine. Look at me. Look closely! Do I look like a fucking kangaroo to you? Do I have an extra skin attach to my belly that keep casefiles? Do I! Stop being spastic, you have a MBBS for crying out loud! My job says I have to keep my patients, all of them alive at the end of the shift, I have to carry out medical treatments and directives that doctors spit out and I have to deal with angry relatives, fine. But they never pay me to find your goddamn casefiles!'

Roach Doctor Douchebag: 'Oh. You will be surprised.'


Several days later, at HR dept.

Roach Nurse: 'What in Hell's name did you say?'

Roach HR Douchebag: 'Yeah. It's in the fine prints.'

Roach Nurse: 'You are telling me that my contract says I'm liable to find casefiles for the doctors?'

Roach HR Douchebag (Shrugged): 'Yeah. Not just files. You will have to get candy if the doctors are feeling whiny.'

Roach Nurse (Rubbing her forehead): 'Tell me again how long more am I bond for?'

Roach HR Douchebag: 'Three more years.'

Roach Nurse (Closing her eyes): 'Damn it!'

Friday I'm In Love

 

I don't really fancy blogging about myself. It's uncanny to read about myself. It's uninteresting. I'm boring. I'm boring in reality. Two of my nursing friends, both dudes, Vimcent and Ezy were really popular in my hospital, they dazzled with their outgoing personalities and go get em', can do attitudes. Barely a year in the hospital, Vimcent had his fair share of exposure by hosting events and being on the debate team with Ezy. On good gospel, they tried to include me by recommending to management that I should join in the next debate. And there I was queueing for my second round of chickie wings after a compulsory lecture, a nice nursing manager approached me, 'Hi James.' She said. 'Who's James?' I replied cheekily. Then there was a laborious silence, we excused ourselves. I can tell you, I am not good with meeting new people. I'm dead shit boring. I have nothing to say to them.

Friday night come hitherto where everyone was pouring their glass of phony martinis and trying too hard to score, I was in the library. I'm always in the library whenever I have my day offs. There is nowhere to go. I adore books. It's like a candyshop to me. A quiet one, hush hush, cemetery-like, it's nice. People take walks in parks with phony trees, I do mine in libraries. Difference with clubbing and doing all the naughty things on a friday night, no one pretty goes to library on a friday evening. No tits to stare at. Shame. Would be a good combination though. Them books and ladies, hand in hand. That's why I'm big on smutty books. The comic book section is always a nifty place to begin. All the violence, profanity and the occasional well drawn breasts! Each time I pulled out a copy of Hellblazer, the cash register spring 'Score!' at the back of my head.

I managed to get hold of a dog eared copy of Salinger's The Catcher In The Rye. Wanted to read it for a darn long time but too poor to buy it. I don't really buy books, because I don't reread stuff. Why suffer again? Decided to borrow the book after weighting it against my half read of The Inheritance Of Loss by Kiran Desai. So screw me, I will read them both and will finish them in time. I'm reading some Chinese poetry too and ain't the language supreme? I remember lying in bed whilst struggling through the stanzas and telling HL that the language is so superior than English in so many ways. If a picture paints a thousand words, then Chinese will be the picture. A word can have so many meanings, emotions and representatives. They are like elements of chemistry, a variety of bondage acts when each word meet together. Take example, one may describe sadness in English, name any: misery, sorrow, sadden, grief and etc. Any amateurs can squander the word cheaply at its expense of the lack of depth. There is a Chinese word that describe utmost sadness  - 断肠。Direct translation would be 'severed intestine'. It cannot be used simply and by caution for maximum effect. The amateurs would have difficulty with the word. That's why I like about the language. It weed out the dumb ones. Just look at Singapore's Chinese standard. 'Chinese B' sia.

I'm not a fan of poetry. Never have been and never will be. It's too mathematical. Too short a line, not enough information, too much self deciphering, too much of filling out the blanks. You have to think in the shoes of the poets, too emotional, too close for comfort. No thanks, I like my stories from a distance. That intimacy is, gay.

After the trip to the library, I went to duplicate my hospital locker key. I sat near the bushes and read Salinger while the keymaker drilled on. I liked it there. Probably I have been procrastinating too much and to at least finish something, anything on the 'to do list' felt satisfying. It had felt that I could get on top of things in no time. Piece of cake. Control feels like crack. The Catcher In The Rye was good. Really good. The protagonist loathes everybody. I like him for I loathed everyone too. I have a good feeling about this book.

I had read up the synopsis of books on Wikipedia lately because I have been too busy to get them. Besides reading on the wikis on the Beggar's Opera, The Road by Cormac McCathy (to get hands on for to-do list), Catcher In The Rye, Lord Of The Flies and The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bardbury, I had spent hours reading on the Marvel Universe. Yes, it's X-men, Iron Man, The Cap and Spidey. I have always been a DC fan because of Batman. But Justice League is lame-o. As my taste begin to drift wayward to sci-fiction, Marvel opens up a horizon. I still hate Peter Parker, Fantastic Four, Thor and Ghost Rider. I like Dr Strange, Bruce Banner, Steve Roger and Tony Stark for their science, political agendas and whatnot. My favorite character, after wiking is Franklin Reeds, the kiddo of Invisible Woman and Mr Fantastic. His bout and role in the Onslaught carnage is both fascinating and imaginative, Marvel also have the most badass villains; namely Galactus, Venom, Onslaught and Magneto. DC have, erm Brainiac? But, but, DC have Joker mah! Yea, true. That's why Batman is the best icon in DC.

Well, that's enough writing for the time being. I'm screening WKW's My Blueberry Nights next. It's minimum, probably a quarter of the screen, it's free, I'm cheap, I'm poor and I'm boring. Hoola.
