Long Distance Relationships

What can I say? It honestly sucks shit.

Its like falling down, seeing bright red blood to proof to you that you are alive, having the scab form a protective layer over raw tender flesh, and then when it comes for the time for your partner to leave, *RIIIIIIP!!!* Some awful combination of circumstances will cause you to have yet another fall, and your comfortably healing skin will once more be brutally ripped open, spilling forth with blood and pus.

And to make matters worth, the lonely drive back from the airport over the ECP at the Shenton way area has a beau-ti-fooo sunrise. What kind of an asshole of a god, if there is such a concept, allows for such mockery!?? Yes I am outraged. And hopping mad. Not forgetting to mention, extremely sleepy.

Egg Mcmuffin from this morning's breakfast is doing intensive kick boxing in my stomach. Bitter tincture + probiotics + enzymes... Here i come. Looks like we're gonna be seeing alot more of each other, what with my crazy stomach of late.

Okay off to bed. And hopefully I start making money soon. Tentative travel plans for 2009 include a trip to Mexico perhaps sometime next June/July to cheer myself up. 9 months of an open wound with no travelling to distract is just inhumane. And hopefully to Italy for 2 weeks if not, a month in September.

For now, I am counting down the 11 weeks (77 days) to go before my damn open wound starts to heal again. Hopefully I find some great antiseptic heavy duty plaster to plug up this wide open gaping hole first. This way, no infection will set in, and come December 14, Dez shall be a happy girl once more!

Melamine. No big deal.

So, milk from China contains Melamine, a compound found in plastics that when consumed in sufficient quantities, can cause kidney problems. Big hairy deal. All that fuss over something so insignificant. Yes several babies in China have died, but what about those babies scattered all over the rest of the world, dying of malnutrition, war, poverty, famine, drought etc... you get the drift. Babies are dying all the time, this fact should not only get the spotlight when the middle/upper class are affected. Tiny tots die from drinking polluted stream water, eating dirt infused slush, consuming lead poisoned fish and what not. At least these babies in China had milk powder to drink, a nice warm cosy bed to take their last breath, and an actual coffin to die in. Whoop-dee-doo!

So now there is a total recall of milk products from china's milk. Its just ridiculous. Considering how much of the food product we actually need to consume in a lifetime before it actually affects us, why are we wasting precious food and leaving horrid carbon prints by recalling all these products?!? What we need to do is, scatter our own cows in those damn golfing greens that are such a waste of precious space, and grow our own friggin vegetables. Local produce for the wind!

Yet with all that said, I looked at the labels of my milk I bought last night. Just in case. One can never be too sure, can we?

Tearing the blog's hymen

After much procrastination, I finally sit myself down to begin this little experiment that has been proposed.

Start a blog, write about.... things (at this point in time, its still rather unclear to me how this works..) and post some pictures. Hopefully learn some new things along the way, meet some interesting people, and who knows, maybe even offend, scintillate and scandalise! Let's see how this goes then... Nothing ventured, nothing gained. And as Herbal Essence very astutely pointed out: New Experiences Are Good For you!

I'm gonna stop short at turning into a cam whore with eyes that look as though they've been attacked by an industrial sized eyeliner, lashes that double up as high-intensity-blink-powered-fans, and lips that look as though one is salivating uncontrollably from having been bitten by a dog with rabies.

Godspeed fellow virgin blogger! Godspeed!
