...much ado about nothing...

How many of you can still remember the song; “Let’s talk about sex baby, let’s talk about you and me, let’s talk about all the good things and the bad things …” LOL Sex being the topic at hand here. I couldn’t help but notice that in ¾ of the conversations or cliques I find myself in, tend to talk about it ¾ of the time, all the time. Not that I’m judging or complaining about anything. Coz yes, I tend to make my quirky comments too sometimes. But not ALL THE TIME!!

The thing that brought upon this topic hehe was the fact that I’ve been celibate for quite some time now. And look, there’s nothing wrong with me. I’m more alive than ever and kicking. Now my cousin comes and tells me, but “Ya it can’t be a conscious decision. Because everybody MUST have sex!” Turning it into a whole issue… What is so wrong in not doing it? And most importantly, what is so wrong in choosing not to do so for a brief or long period of time?

Let me paint a picture quick. I had a messy break up October 2010. I decided to rid myself of all toxins and bad memories, as well as intimate moments with Mr X. Gave myself a 6 months cleansing period before I want any sexual encounters. And it’s month 7 now, and I’m doing all good. Yes there’s that one time of the month when you go crazy and want to have mad bunny sex, but it comes and goes.

Does that make me lame? Or not one of the crowd? On the contrary.. I think it makes me extraordinary. J Why? It’s simple. I did not conform to societies rules and lame norms, and, it just makes the whole thing so much better. Like savouring a good wine. Why must I throw my cat around for everyone to play with? If I do find Mr Worthy, and tell him about it, we can have a laugh and eventually everything will happen as it should. Quite frankly I’m in no rush. Besides, there are so many other things I can invest all my energy into.  But now you get those who say,  “Ya but everyone has needs, or it is part of who we as humans are…” etc etc.. Yes I get all that, but don’t you think needs differ from person to person? That maybe my needs are much more personal than sum bumping and grinding? Don’t get me wrong.. I’m not against sex LOL not at all. But my koekie klop nie nou nie. And I’m just taking a break… for now that is.

Moral of the story, each unto his own. 

== perfection? ==

 

 

Alexandria’s Genesis, a.k.a violet eyes (a genetic mutation).

When someone is born with Alexandria’s Genesis, their eyes are blue or grey at birth. After six months, the eyes begin to change from their original colour to purple, and this process lasts six months. During puberty, the colour deepens to dark purple, a deep purple, a royal purple, or a violet-blue colour and remains that way. It does not affect the person’s eyesight.

Those who have this mutation will never grow any facial, body, pubic, or anal hair (not including hair on their head, on their ears, noses, eyebrows and eyelashes) Women also do not menstruate, but are fertile.

The reason I think its perfect is because bye bye waxing, no more heavy periods and look at that colour :D

GAME ON: XBOX 360 vs SONY PLAYSTATION 3

Wow. How did I forget about this hehe. There's this ongoing battle amongst my peers, and even the older generation, as to which console is better. Note that I'm not including the Wii in this little review of mine because I have not played it yet. Suffice to say, I highly doubt that I will because Nintendo has never appealed to me....

Anyhoo, lets begin. Here's some techy details:

(taken from; http://www.buzzle.com/articles/which-is-better-ps3-or-xbox-360.html)

Microsoft's Xbox 360
Xbox 360 is the seventh generation video game console, launched by Microsoft, as a successor to its first gaming console - the Xbox. The console features services like Xbox Live, which facilitates online gaming, and also gives the user an option of downloading games and game demos, as well as, TV shows and movies. Since, its launch in 2005, 39 million Xbox 360 consoles have been sold all over the world. At present, this console is available in two configurations - the 'Arcade' and the 'Elite'. Some of the most popular Xbox 360 games are Mass Effect 2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Assassin's Creed II and Resident Evil 5.
Sony's PlayStation 3 (PS3)
PlayStation 3 is a seventh generation video game console, launched by Sony Computer Entertainment, as a successor to PlayStation 2. This console offers services like, online gaming, along with a high-definition optical disc format and Blu-ray Disc as storage medium. Since its launch in 2006, PS3 has undergone several changes, which have made gaming even more easier and interesting. Currently, two models of PS3 - the 120 GB Slim and the 250 GB Slim, are available. Some of the most popular PS3 games include Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Assassin's Creed, Prince Of Persia, Devil May Cry 4 etc.

What Carmy thinks?
Personally both are equally good consoles, but for me, the Xbox's online gaming experience is way better. Not to mention their interface is very user friendly. I immediately knew what I had to do, whereas with the PS3, I struggled LOL. The inverted menu's, all the different sub menu's urgh! What a waste. 


There is also, the price comparison. Here in SA a normal 320gig PS3 is about R4999, and the Xbox is R3999. Also, the games of an Xbox are cheaper. Sony keeps on boasting about its Blu-Ray and graphics. I say, Even without Blu-Ray, the Xbox's graphics looks way better. 

 

But alas, each unto his own right? I think the xbox is more for hardcore gamers. With titles such as Gears of War, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Mass Effect, Mirrors Edge, Assassins Creed, Guitar Hero (My fav btw) it makes multi-player so much better. Whereas PS constantly boats with games such as Tekken, GT5, God of War, Devil may Cry, all One player games. I think that's kinda boring. But, I can say this. I have played many Car games, but nothing plays like Grand Tourismo. It feels real and is definitely better than Need for Speed. The variety of Cars and Courses. Power Jizz I tell you!! 

I said this to my brother the other day, the only reason I would buy a PS is to play GT5 and Little Big Planet! Reason being, those games are not on Xbox. LOL. I'm secretly hoping that LBP will sell on Xbox though, because that's the ultimate multi-player hehe.

In conclusion I think I can say, that overall the Xbox kicks major ass. Whether you're watching and downloading Movies, Music, Trailers, Themes or just want to play with your buddies in Australia or Europe, its the ultimate console. And makes a great Party tool. Everyone can join in! 

How to trip like a bawssss BWAHHAHAHA

..-- R e a L i T y C h e c K??? --..

One Friday evening I thought I’d stay indoors and watch some tele with the Moms. Now many of you know, that we do not have cable. My mom doesn’t feel the need for it Anyhoo…As we lay there watching Cribz, Runs House, The Hills etc. my mom just gave a shrug and asked, how in Gawds name is this entertaining?? I lol’d and told her, well, “Americans love reality shows.” They are after all the people who started everything.  Survivor, Big Brother, The Apprentice, The Osborne’s you name it. That’s where I first heard and started watching it.

Then it progressed… Keeping up with the Kardashians, Girls of the Playboy Mansion, 16 and Pregnant, Jersey Shore, The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, So you think you can Dance, Idols etc. And then, the Arts, Cuisine and Fashion Industry started with it too. Jamie Oliver’s the Naked Chef, Debbie’s Painted House, Project Runway, Top Chef… the list is endless! What I have realized though, is that it’s not just Americans. Society in general loves reality shows and everything about it. Staged or not.

Which brings me to this conclusion: People, love hearing about other people LOL. Stupid I know. But it’s true. Look at it this way, why do people gossip? Or why are they constantly in each other’s beeswax? Because they love it. Some thrive on drama and others thrive on scandal. Which is kinda disturbing when you thing about it… (O_o)But alas, its human nature hehe. So who are we to judge right? Just think, this is the very reason why social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, My Space, Netlog etc..is so SUCCESSFUL. Because we like having an inside scoop of other peoples lives. And yes, I am guilty too because I am registered by two out of the four. hehehehe

But back to television. I’m going to be honest and say I simply love Project Runway, The Kardashians, Kendra, Jersey Shore,The Hills, any reality show that revolves around Cooking, Music or Art. I was laughing at my cousin the other day. We briefly watched an episode of Kourtney and Khloe takes on Miami. She was getting upset and irritated at them LOL. She was like, “They are so fake! How can they be this way! Look at them! So pathetic!” So I told her, there’s no point in ranting and raving. Reality shows are like the Twilight Franchise. People just assume and start hating. It’s true that some bits are corny, cheesy, heck even fake. There are most certainly good parts yes! But at the end of the day, IT SELLS. And that’s all that matters. 

Haters are gonna hate, and pick you apart piece by piece for watching it. But alas, that’s their problem. Not mine. I bet you’re thinking, “but some of the stuff are scripted, if not all..so how does this make it reality?”Thing is, it’s all just Entertainment. Nothing more, nothing less. Even my dressmaker, who’s a very spiritual person, and extremely matured, loves watching reality shows. So no matter whom, I think there’s a bit of Kendra, Gordon Ramsey, Kim Kardashian and even Mike “The Situation” in all of us *giggles*. 

Moral of the story: We shouldn’t be so quick to judge on what *they do. *They are after all the ones raking it in!!(^__^) Don’t you think??
