Soon we'll draw the water From the river or the well And we'll spend our ev'nings scrubbing dirty pots Then we'll gossip over tea Bouncing babies on each knee Before we tell them stories, while we put them in their cots Soon we'll draw the water From the river or the well And we'll spend our ev'nings cooking pots of rice When we've finished at the sink And the girls have left to drink We'll wait for them till midnight, making sure we're looking nice Chorus: You can't expect a man to wear the silk You can't expect a cock to be a hen You won't find many bulls producing milk 'Cos men are men 'cos men are very good at being men Soon we'll draw the water From the river or the well And we'll spend our evenings wahing dirty shirts When we've hung them out to dry We'll pretend we're really shy And we'll giggle while we chat, about the latest style of skirts (Chorus) Soon we'll draw the water From the river or the well And we'll scrub the steps and wash the dirty bowls And at night if we're desired We'll announce we're much too tired That tonight we don't want anywhere, to stick our bamboo poles (Chorus) You can't expect a man to wear the silk You can't expect a cock to be a hen You won't find many bulls producing milk And the pattern can't be changed Or the order rearranged 'Cos men are men 'cos men are very good at being men! 'Cos men are men 'cos men are very good at being men! There! alldone. *brushes hands*

"Everything you need to know is here in this village, in this tree, in this leaf Everything you need to know is here It's just a matter of belief The Buddha found enlightenment under a tree like this And when you rush about the world, it's trees such like this you'll miss The world is an illusion, each touch, each taste It's fading fast, nothing we see will last Flowers fade, people die, the sun sets The future always slips into the past" -from 'Sing to the Dawn' oh and one more thing...enjoy the "Men are Men" theme :P

You know the world's gone to shit when: "Iraq insurgents pound U.S. base in Najaf " -Yahoo! News headline. a sign of the times. today is the first time in a long time alwyn decides to actually blog conventionally. okok so i shan't blog about training today since tuesdays are not training days. at leats not for people like me. first lesson was philo! philo is funfunfun. arguably even more fun than PHYSICS i daresay. but only because i have a wonderful philo teacher and a physics teacher who couldn't teach to save his own life. so they sorta...balance out. empiricism and rationalism is suuch a sexy subject.and well to debunk all that unfounded unrational bull puckey about i think-ing therfore i am-ing- you could all very well still be in a dream a la the MATRIX. now who the rusty fuck ever said people don't think in dreams? i for one do. i can even tell sometimes whether i'm in a dream or not (assuming my apparent reality is the actual reality that is :D) how very fun... so. does all that go to show that people might be, after all, living in a dream which they take for granted as reality? and could reality be in actual fact our so called dreamworld? fuck no. see, humans aren't infallible. we have an au natural, god-given ability to forget things, which may or may not be a good thing, depending on how you see it. see, everyone forgets their dreams sometimes-even i do! :P hell, people even forget what goes on in their (apparent) reality every now and then- this goes to show how dreams and reality can actually be more alike than you think. so how can we be sure which realm is the true reality- for when we are in our wakefulness state- we consider that to be our reality; on the other hand while we are dreaming- we consider the dreamworld to be reality as well! you can argue that how about in cases where you realise that what you're experiencing is actually (or so you think) all a dream. see, the only reason why we experience that (realising that what you're experiencing is all jut a dream) is because we've been brought up that way...it's been so deeply inculcated into us that it becomes completely natural to say that the wakefulness state is reality. that's why we won't even bother to think about the possibility that you might actually be dreaming while in the so-called wakeful state! okk back on track. so how do i prove that THIS wakeful state we're all in now as we read alwyn's latest nonsensical (did i say i was going to blog conventional this time? oh no not AGAIN...) blog entry is the actual reality. pretty simple really. but it'll only become really clear to you if you've had the same experiences i've had. for me, i'm able to recall a few experiences where i have actually woke myself up from my own dream- yes, interrupted it flatly and telling myself to snap outta it. and no, i wasn't pinching myself. while on the other hand- as far as i can recall, i have NEVER been able to induct myself into the dreamstate directly from the wakefulness state(tried again during philo lesson, didn't seem to work too well), the only avenue possible so far has been to fall asleep- and hope to hell you start dreaming. or is it hoping to hell before you fall asleep. nevermind. and since the only way for me to get from wakefulness into the dreamworld has been to fall asleep- and so far as i can remember there has only been one instance whereby i woke myself up by actually falling asleep in my dream- which, by rational thought, is the obvious reality here? so now. see how logical, deductive, and 100% rational reasoning can explain reality and existence more clearly than a cryptic one-liner "i think therfore i am" which imho borders on the very edge of outright mysticism. all you have to do...is just look beneath the surface. whoah. aloha dear bloggie!! blogging time!! *walks into spiderweb* *chokes on a couple hundred dust bunnies* *passes out from decomposing organic gaseous by-products* ok what to blog. |
