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!!!

Stargazer - Stretch Those Sides

I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme...

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim...

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...
