SPELLS

While chillin in the library I randomly grabbed a book from the shelf and found a section on love potions ( this was not my original intent since the book was about hair and hair stories and how people are self conscious about it), anyways I found a guaranteed to work love potion, however this will only work if the object of your desire has a mole with hair growing out of it.
This is what you gotta do:
pluck the hair from the mole and mix it with the mud from a cemetery and put this in a pouch and wear it around your neck. It is said that your obsession will fall madly in love with you after a few weeks if you diligently wear this if not creepy somewhat weird pendant.
I forgot the name of the book but I will give credit as soon as I can find it again.

Now I was thinking a lot about this( not that I wanted to try it) but actually about the basic of why would this even work and what could possibly be so special about a mole with hair growing from it.
Anyways this led me to come up with my own idea of a spell (actually a quick way to make some fast cash if I can market this:D) or at least a good idea for a practical joke.
as you all know there is a huge market for weight loss stuff , and I thought why not market a voodoo doll to help with weight control. I first suggested this idea to Vami who first asked me if I was okay and then concluded that I was possessed. However if this doesn't work as a weight loss device then at least it can be awesome for a practical joke. This is my initial marketing advertisement. I also thought this would be useful for a practical joke if you kept a big and small doll on you before visiting a friend that you hand not seen for a long time and well depending on their state you use the appropriate doll to show them that you had cast a spell on them. However I will not be held responsible for any injuries you may sustain from your friend or any other party that you may use this on.

p.s. The purpose of this email was actually intended to poke fun at myself for running after so many *quick fixes* on the market in order to try to get rid of a 20lb weight gain when all I should've done was actually literally run:P. Yesterday Vami told me that a girl described me as being chunky, I found this hilarious since I would've described myself as more porky:P.

Is God Wise?

This story has been passed on in my family for a long time and my dad often told it to us when we were younger. Tonight he said it again.

There was a boy and his father sitting under a mango tree and the boy commented to his father,
'God must be stupid, why did he put a little thing like a mango on such a huge tree and such a big pumpkin on a little vine on the ground'
At that exact moment a mango fell from the high branches of the tree on top of the boy's face and broke his nose.
His father answered, 'well that is why, imagine if God had put that pumpkin high on the branches, then you probably wouldn't have a face'

Smile bloggers!

Correction: My dad pointed out that the boy had just returned from studying and thinking that he knew more than his simple farmer father therefore posed the above question.

weird taste turned yummy

Vanilla ice cream- and grapefruit juice, its quite good actually:D
How does one discover this, sipping grapefruit juice while thinking about ice cream but lazy to get another glass so easy solution: put ice cream in grapefruit juice, at first its a shock to the palate that expects vanilla ice cream but after a few minutes the taste buds are screaming for more of this unexpected sweet-tart.
Actually I first came upon a mixture like this when I was given chocolate ice cream with fresh pineapple, ( a passage from my autobiography, chapter of ultimately bizzare first dates:D), but anyways it was quite yummy as well.
But then again so it should be with life too, something from pour past that we didn't really clean up well enough appears unexpected in our sugary present and at first may seem tart but actually intensifies the experience and makes it more enjoyable if you decide to accept it. Anyways enough of me babbling.

Capital Punishment-restless thoughts

On Capital Punishment
You are hereby sentenced to death by ___________.
Their heart is beating, we have put in the power of men to legally stop this heartbeat.
See there is a grave problem with capital punishment- it cannot be reversed!
I am having a problem comprehending this, because death is simply death, when someone dies, they are no more.

To deem what is justice and what is correct evidence based on society and state?
How do you really find a judge, who can see all sides of the box?
How do you really find a jury?
Right and wrong relative to society, place and time.
what is right is generally accepted,
How do I then know?
I guess from my experience, it is to try and block out all the effects of society and to place myself in the shoes of that person and think based on my heart, my soul is this right?
Only then will I know
Wouldn't a life sentence with no chance of parole, be sufficient to give any 'criminal' a chance to reflect on their deeds and to live in the isolation and torment of their memories.

No what is justice? A life for a life? Well there are still wars, soldiers are still trained to kill, so why not have capital punishment.
Now I am wondering, is diplomacy a farce?

Frosting a cake- Not literally

Imagine you are a baker, and you are in a competition to make a cake. The rules of the competition are strict since the cake will be judged on appearance, taste and appeal. Now what if some of the judges has never tasted cake and only will judge your cake based on appearance secondly what about the true chocolate connoisseur who can taste the special effort that you took to temper the chocolate and get it just right. what about the judge who has a sweet tooth and will gobble up the frosting never even bothering to taste the cake how about if you decide to not frost the cake or what about a light frosting or maybe a glaze Now what if you are desperate and you want to please the judges so badly, you doubt that there is one of them who has a taste for your special chocolate , but your cake needs to be sold! So you carefully bring out your pastry tubes and colored frosting and make the most visually appetizing cake that you can... now its on to the judges to see who will bite Yet you wait hoping somewhere that at least one of the judges will ignore the heavily frosted cake and recognize that special unfrosted cake and go straight to that one. And then what if you decide, you know what screw the judges and frost the cake a little and start distributing your special cake to everyone.

Toasting bread--literally

So they switched the toaster oven on me. This new one is all sleek and black looking with so many functions it could be the cousin of knight rider. ( I sorta expected the toaster oven to greet me and make my breakfast for me but after greeting it and not getting a response, I realised that I would have to do it myself!) Now what do you do, if you simply want a slice of toast and it takes you about 5 minutes and 3 steps to figure out how to do so. Now appliances are getting to complicated for me! I am essentially a simpleton so can you imagine my dilemma this moring when I am trying to toast the bread and the toaster oven says broil, bake warm and then toast. So I selected toast and nothing happened, then I realised that I had to select the temperature ( about 25 options here), still nothing happened and above all that I had to select the time as well ( still more confusing). Can you imagine 3 steps to toast one slice of bread! Whatever happened to the real toasters where you just pushed the lever down and toast popped out? A toaster whose sole purpose and fuction of its time be to toast my bread and nothing more!
Anyways, end result I burned the bread, but ate it anyway.

Apocalypto

There is a lot of quibbling between critics over this movie.
Actually the movie itself is quite good. I believe that the problem arises in that Mel Gibson directed it and people have their own issues with the director.
Anyways if you plan on seeing this movie, it is well made , look for these elements when watching the movie and then maybe you can appreciate the genius of it, and ignoring your own reservations towards Mel Gibson.

1. Pay very close attention to the opening line in the movie.
2. Look for brilliant foreshadowing.
3. The themes of fear, brotherhood, love, awakening, cleansing, self realization, are all expertly displayed in this movie, realize them when you see it.
4. The setting of this movie has been the Ace used by critics who dislike Gibson to spit on this movie.
Then again, do look at the setting and pretend that you are not an archeologist for a moment, and realize that it is phenomenal!
5. And look very closely at the ending dialogue in the movie.
6. If you want a historically accurate depiction of these civilizations, then watch the discovery channel, if you want to watch a movie that can draw out your deepest passions and will take you into a completely different world for 2 ½ hours then watch this.


Now what make the protagonist fight so much for survival? When the others seem to accept their fate. The answer is right there:)
Many have commented that there is too much violence in this movie, but while watching this movie do you not realize the inner fighter within yourself? Do you not want the protagonist to be violent? To fight? Is this violence necessary for this movie? YES! It is used to illustrate several central themes!

Are the Mayans depicted as uncivilized? Of course not! Only one who has the audacity to define civilization would point out this as a flaw in the movie.

There are very clever and very strong warriors in the movie, why were these warriors defeated? This is the central point of the movie.
Did the Spaniards bring relief to these people? Actually No this is not the point made, once again pay closely to the dialogue in the end.
Lastly do you not realize the similarities between the warriors and people way back then and now?
Do we still not blindly sacrifice others to appease our own beliefs and superstitions? Like the Spaniards do we not seek to destroy ancient civilizations simply because we do not understand them? The only people who can even begin to think that these people were uncivilized are the ones who are illusioned to think of themselves as civilized.

Ignore all critics on this movie and give it a chance.
