Could It Be?... Is It ME?



I took this test I saw in The Best of Raging Rainbows (btw, Happy Birthday!) and got the following results:

I am 59% Asshole/Bitch.
Sort of Assholy or Bitchy!
I am abrasive, some people really hate me, but there may be a group of other tight knit assholes and bitches that I can hang out with and get me. Everybody else? Fuck ‘em.


I say, it may be a bit of an exaggeration...

My friends may think otherwise! Damn!


I'm not your bitch, don't hang your sh*t on me...

Sh*t Happens



I haven't much to write about the past few days so I spent some time surfing the net for interesting blogs. And I was surprised to learn that MATERIAL BOY, was featured in a blogsite that is supposedly for "...reviews of blogs that are really boring, stupid, or ugly". O U C H!

SHITTY BLOGS

Well, I can't please everybody. Clearly, the Shitty Blog article is not about me or my blog, it's about Madonna. And while I've spent many years defending my MADONNA fandom against some of the most ruthless Madge bashers, I don't see the need to do so this time. As I said in a previous entry, There's a Thin Line between LOVE and Hate...

Good or bad, at least my site got noticed! Somehow, I still have my humor in check.

A Bittersweet and Sweet Weekend



Though the past weekend seemed rather uneventful, its significance was somehow important to me.

Last Saturday was the 40th day since Papa's passing while Sunday, the 9th of October, would have been Mama's 67th birthday. I commemorated these by going to a nearby church, lighting candles and praying for them. I would have wanted to go to the memorial garden and pay them a visit but decided otherwise due to the inclement weather. It was quite bittersweet realizing that this would probably be the happiest birthday of Mama in at least seven years since finally, she can celebrate it with Papa. Just the same, I still miss them both.

Anyhow, it's nice that my weekend ended on a high note when Sunshine remembered that the 9th was also our 17th monthsary and surprised me with a simple yet sweet gift, a chocolate bar! Sweet-toothed that I am, I was utterly overjoyed and touched by his gesture.

Can it get any better than this?!? You betcha! Hah!

Everything . . . For Now



Avenue Q - The MusicalI have spent the last few days listening to one of the most entertaining CD's I heard ever, the original Broadway cast recording of Avenue Q. Thanks to my good friend Latte Boy, for giving me a copy of this wonderful masterpiece of a musical.

Avenue Q is the Sesame Street/Muppet Show-meets-South Park-meets-Rent musical that has recently been the toast of Broadway. Its politically incorrect take on issues like racism, homosexuality, internet porn, love and life is just infectious thanks largely to its catchy music and hilarious lyrics. It's so funny, that instead of taking offense at some of the songs' messages, I just found myself laughing and realizing that it's futile to be upset with something that is true. Apparently, I too am living in my own version of Avenue Q.

With songs like "It Sucks To Be Me", "If You Were Gay", "Everyone's A Little Bit Racist", "The Internet is for Porn" and "You Can Be As Loud As The Hell You Want (When You're Making Love)", it is definitely not a 'puppet show' for kids!

Unfortunately, I can only make do with looking at pictures and imagining how the songs are executed on stage (especially the 'sex scenes' in "...When You're Making Love"!) as it is more likely that it would take a while before a local production will be staged here in Manila. Well if that happens, I will make sure that I won't miss it.



Don't stress,
Relax,
Let life roll off your backs,
Each time you smile,
It'll only last a while,
Life may be scary,
But it's only temporary,
Everything in life is only for now!
