I feel that there are few experiences that provide more satisfaction than seeing yourself in somebody else. I find that most of my happiest memories are the ones I shared with friends who were like minded. They say 'opposites attract' but I find this notion to be highly dubious in life. While I do agree that opposite physical traits (feminine vs masculine) are important for attraction, in my view, this concept doesn't necessarily hold true at a mental level.

I dedicate this blog to my coolest chat buddy and blog twin, Maanu. We have a knack of cracking each other up with our own peculiar concept of 'what's funny'. We often say to each other that we are in danger of being 'locked up' if people saw the 'whacky' things we laugh about! Chatting to her is such a cool experience since we don't ever have a boring minute. We find similar life issues interesting, and we find similar issues despicable as well! Unfortunately I hurt my friend by being a tad mean to her recently and this was due to miscommunication and a few other issues that played their part in creating a picture that was  conducive to misunderstanding!

So I just wanted to take this opportunity to apologise to my 'four celled' buddy Maanu for any hurt that I may have caused! Hope you ain't mad at me........

Two celled Marshy.

Ants are fantastic creatures aren't they? I mean, they always stick together, they are the benchmarsk for social harmony and team work. They highlight the concept of strength in numbers, and they can move things so many times their weight. There is a proverb about ants, and the saying goes that 'as the ants keep working, even rocks crumble'.

Most ants are pretty tough creatures, but the ones in Ruwais, well, it's questionable to say the least, for according to Maanu, all rolled over and persihsed because I simply stated a fact that she was a nice person. But the worse part is, she says that when she writes blogs they yawn!!! Talk about their arrogance, sheeeeeeeeeeeeesh! It's high time these Ruwaisian ants are taught how to behave!

Okay, this isn't some anthropological blog pertaining to some lost kingdom of wild bird species. It's just that my friend Gello, tried to be all humble 'n stuff by identifying herself with one of the flightless birdies that got extinct after getting run over by herds of cattle in the Sahara. So that got me thinking, I mean there are some very crafty flightless birds still around aren't there?

1. Ostriches: I mean this birdie is one hell of a fast runner. He can out run a horse, and if that isn't enough to give a horse an inferiority complex, I'm not sure what will! Wonder why there aren't any Ostrich cow boys? Probably 'cos the ostriches would be moody 'n stuff when they incubate their eggs.

2. Kiwis: Is that bird still around? I'm not sure. But aren't the New Zealanders a proud bunch with the Kiwi as their Symbol? All my shoe polish products are branded 'Kiwi' too. Now that should get Gello thinking........

3. Chickens: Do they come under the flightless bird category? Well, if Gello was thinking 'chicken' then I can understand her humbleness, but it has to be mentioned that without chickens there would never be any "kentucky Fried Chicken', or 'Golden Rooster', not to mention the boiled eggs 'n omelets.....

Anyway, maybe flightless birds didn't inspire aviation, but they sure do show us that we should keep our heads up high, even if we might not be blessed with certain attributes or talents, hehe.

As for Gello, well, who asked her to go 'extinct' herself?

Over Compliment Syndrome!

I was breaking my head wondering what in the world afflicts me and makes me into an absolute nutter when ever I chat to Maanu. The OCS has become a liability rather than a boon of late. Little Maanu even said that she would reduce all the points I gained over a long period of time by beating her at the game we play! Now that's a serious issue, I can't afford to lose points.  

So what compels me to get OCS? well, da only conclusion that I have come to is dat when some ppl have similar wave lengths and similar frequencies, they tend to understand each other very easily, and they tend to agree rather than disagree on many issues. That constant acknowledgement and comprehension of one another's intentions and views seems to result in the outpouring of singing complimentary verses and syllables. Hence the easy, 'bottleneck free high speed mental communication' seems to have resulted in the OCS.

I have listed a few techniques that research has indicated would work in order to overcome OCS:

1. Always lie through your teeth, ears, nose and any other possible avenues (never say 'you are great', just say 'you aren't great')

2. Whenever you feel like complimenting someone, always think of the worst meanest school teacher you ever had (that is sure to kill the mood)

3. Whenever someone seems to be an awsum person, tell yourself that everyone is awsum

4. Count to ten in an ascending then in a descending order in a foreign language you're worst at.

5. Picture sumo wrestlers doing the ketchup song (this is sure to distract you from the urge to compliment someone due to the severe shock factor)

6.  Always tell yourself that there can only be one compliment per chat session, with a reduction of ten minutes in chat time with any additional compliments

7. compliment using only emoticons (ex )

8. Block contact, change msn address

9 Use another chat software

10. Just stop chatting 

But guess what?

They never seem to work!

This is dedicated to my friend most sought after, maanu Melody

who just comes on line with fun and laughter, oh such a thrill for me

All I have to do is come on line

We talk stuff that could make the pope wince, and clowns cry

We imagine stuff that would make harry potter boring and seem quite dry

But suddenly Maanu goes and gets a cold................

Now that's a bummer cos me so bored.........

I come on line and feel so cold,

No maanu to keep me up tellin me i'm not old

but like everything in life, things change from day to day.....

Even little maanu fall ill and stops saying 'heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey'

I hope she will get better, cos MSNs a misery

Without dear  Maanu chatting is no more a bliss for me!

Get Better Fast Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanu!!!!!!!!!!!
