What People Do For Money: Man vs. Wild

OK OK OK...the economy is bad, right? And at this point in time, for some, people (lots of them) would do lots of crazy things for money. Some would pick cans, some would rob, some would kill....but some are insane! Absolutely IN.SANE. No sanity whatsoever!!! I mean, you know how easily grossed out I can get....at anything abnormal and tonight, I've just watched the most amazingly abnormal thing on the planet. I don't know how far man would actually go to make money, but this is simply jaw-droppingly disgusting. I am talking about the Discovery Channel show called 'Man vs. Wild'. I am like WTF!!!!!!!!!! OK, so this guy, Bear Grylls, says he's a natural born survivor and he's starring in this Discovery Channel show where he is pitched against the wild with nothing MODERN so to speak except for the camera and perhaps occassional hand-fan he's permitted. But urgh.....have you taken a look at the stuff this guy puts into this mouth and subsequently into his stomach????? This is supposed to be an educational program whereby he teaches people how to survive in the wild but apparently, Discovery Channel thinks that the traveling, disgust-inducing and panoramic view much more worthy of their time. You know what he just ATE? Maggots the size of a large Tiger Prawn!!!??? It makes me shiver just to think about it because I just watched it and I watched it from in between my fingers! And when he bit into the thing, the insides of the maggot (yellow, green and red) all splattered all around! And he chews and he chews and he fucking chews.......good heavens!! This is an except from Wiki...
The program has shown him eating raw meat and live fish, staving off hypothermia, and drinking the fluids of elephant feces and his own urine for hydration. In advertisements for Season Two of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is shown eating an enormous grub while the announcer states, "Does Bear Grylls really need to do these things? Yes he does and so might you."
And there were times when he walks up to a dead zebra and say, "Wow, lookie here. We have a dead zebra! And it looks mighty fresh too...." and he whips up a knife and starts slicing away at the flesh and places the meat into his mouth and.......eugh! I'm gonna vomit! What is so fresh about a dead animal in the wild....if I was his mother I would put him over lap and slap his ass red! Stupid child, stupid stupid stupid idiotic child! Goawrd!!! What humankind won't do for money.....ew!! There ARE things that I won't do for money, I realize. p.s. How the fark am I supposed to sleep NOW???? UPDATE: I found a video. It'd make you puke....watch with caution....blergghhh!!!

A Liberating Activity - Guess What Mine Is....

When asked what’s my one single favorite thing to do in the world, I would usually name a whole list of things that I love to do when my work is not screaming at me. Something that takes my mind COMPLETELY off of everyday tasks and relaxes me. Take a guess what it is…. If you say ‘ reading ’, yes, I love reading (especially soppy love stories with lots of sex scenes, please. Hee hee hee ….) and I also love mystery novels but it’s not the first on the list. If you say ‘ playing the piano ’; yes, I love playing the piano. Creating forms a huge part of my life and whenever I play the piano (as inept at it as I am), there’s this tiny little girl inside of me jumping up and down with glee, clapping her hands. It’s my childhood dream to be able to play the piano! And thumping on the keys gives me a sense of satisfaction when I hear the music. If you say ‘ writing ’; You’ve got to be kidding me! You mean I don’t write enough as it is? Case closed. If you say ‘ playing with my kids ’; Yea...

Malaysian Election 2008 - Malaysians ready for change

The political wrestle is over, here in Malaysia, and thankfully too because it earned me a hangove from watching the news, and reading all the readily available blogs on cyberspace all night long. With a spilting headache from squinting into the PC screen, watching the TV for news on the results from the ballot boxes, anxiety, uncertainty and HOPE lingers in the air..... BN, our ruling party in Malaysia, who has been flexing its political muscles for a long time now with the confident (and ever sleepy and gay) PM convincing Malaysians that BN is the only way to peace. Opposition cannot hold the fort properly, though, because the formation and coalition between them is too loose. But with BN denied the 2/3 majority it needed, all I can say is that Pak Lah tore a tendon while flexing his political muscles. Fed up, fed up, fed up - Malaysians are fed up A lot of Malaysians chose not to vote for the oppositition IN THE PAST because we wanted unity, we resisted change because of a date w...

Demanding a Balanced Lifestyle

We live in a world choked with demands….demand for more money, better lifestyle, more holidays, smarter kids, bigger house, posher cars….etc. People walk around with spiritually unimportant goals in their minds driven by the need to succeed and be better than others around them. Hong Kong. South Korea. Japan. Most Asian countries suffer from this ill-fate which have caused a horrific rise in the number of suicide rates in the said countries. Malaysia is no exception as well although we’re very slowly gaining ground on our neighbors. Just picking up my son from school can become a stressful affair. I’ve mentioned this to a few friends of mine over the phone and all of them cluck their tongue shake their head. It’s end of the year and the kids are getting their test results back by now. I overheard a couple of tai-tais (housewives) gripe about their kids’ results. Mom: I don’t know-lah. My kid did not do very well this term. The best also got 95 only. (NINETY FIVE ONLY???) ...
