le.empereur

You are The Emperor

Stability, power, protection, realization; a great person.

The Emperor is the great authority figure of the Tarot, so it represents
fathers, father-figures and employers. There is a lot of aggression and violence
too.

The Emperor naturally follows the Empress. Like an infant, he is filled with enthuiasm, energy, aggression. He is direct, guileless and all too often irresistible. Unfortunately, like a baby he can also be a tyrant. Impatient, demanding, controlling. In the best of circumstances, he signifies the leader that everyone wants to follow, sitting on a throne that indicates the solid foundation of an Empire he created, loves and rules with intelligence and enthusiasm. But that throne can also be a trap, a responsibility that has the Emperor feeling restless, bored and discontent.

What Tarot Card are You?

I have a corneal ulcer.
It started off as a white dot.
It still is.
But I hope it goes away.
It shall always remind me not to put on my contact lenses for prolonged periods.

a.letter.from.garcia

(I know just what you are thinking - not another soccer post! grrrroan)
But I felt that it was my duty to the world to make known that sports personalities, in this instance soccer players, and case-in-point specifically a Liverpool playmaker - are capable of having human emotions too. (Though most of the time we just think of them as bionic beings who have super-unnatural speed, strength, with an equally unnatural bank account.)

So Luis Garcia wrote this letter to his former club, though I greatly suspect that it would have been in his native linga franca - Spanish - and taken him at least 2 years to have penned it in Ingles. One would not have imagined a has-been of any sporting organisation to have expressed such gratitude and appreciation, especially when he/she has matured into 'surplus' strength and has to be released elsewhere (anywhere in fact) so as not to continue wasting the resources for the former employer.

I am reminded of the Chinese proverb - “饮水思源”(think of the source when you drink water), and the many thanks I have to give for all that I am today. =)

bells.a-tolling

Not mine, apparently.
But I have just received like 5 wedding invites over the past month.
Sep 07 - 2
Oct 07 - 1
Dec 07 - 1
Mid 08 - 1 (this was by far the most ridiculous - whoever books you so early???)
But nonetheless - Love, is in the air.

alcohol.is.illegal.in.france

To be honest, other than Voronin's spectacular shot for the Reds to win Toulouse 1-0, this video is nothing really special.
Except for the fact that, upon closer inspection, there seems to be something wrong with Liverpool's jerseys - their sponsors "Carlsberg" are totally not reflected on their jerseys!
And apparently, the reason for that is - alcohol advertisements are not allowed in France on the soccer jerseys.
And to think that the French consume 60 L per capita of wine per year! That's a really alcoholic-indulgent nation out there for you.
I'd reckon that they just have a thing against BEER companies. =)

This is pretty quirky.

as.the.crow.flies

Just finished this book.
I know it's kind of JC-ish, but hell it was too thick for me back in those days.
Written in the manner of narrative perspectives from multiple persons, it is an interesting read, and to a little extent - even inspirational.
