Does this need a title?

Nice poem I came across. It's by George Bernard Shaw and it's all in good taste.

Well after all, Pickering, I'm an ordinary man,
Who desires nothing more than an ordinary chance,
to live exactly as he likes, and do precisely what he wants...
An average man am I, of no eccentric whim,
Who likes to live his life, free of strife,
doing whatever he thinks is best, for him,
Well... just an ordinary man...
BUT, Let a woman in your life and your serenity is through,
she'll redecorate your home, from the cellar to the dome,
and then go on to the enthralling fun of overhauling you...
Let a woman in your life, and you're up against a wall,
make a plan and you will find,
that she has something else in mind,
and so rather than do either you do something else
that neither likes at all You want to talk of Keats and Milton,
she only wants to talk of love,
You go to see a play or ballet, and spend it searching
for her glove, Let a woman in your life
and you invite eternal strife,
Let them buy their wedding bands for those anxious little hands...
I'd be equally as willing for a dentist to be drilling
than to ever let a woman in my life, I'm a very gentle man,
even tempered and good natured
who you never hear complain,
Who has the milk of human kindness
by the quart in every vein,
A patient man am I, down to my fingertips,
the sort who never could, ever would,
let an insulting remark escape his lips
Very gentle man...
But, Let a woman in your life,
and patience hasn't got a chance,
she will beg you for advice, your reply will be concise,
and she will listen very nicely, and then go out
and do exactly what she wants!!!
You are a man of grace and polish,
who never spoke above a hush,
all at once you're using language that would make
a sailor blush, Let a woman in your life,
and you're plunging in a knife,
Let the others of my sex, tie the knot around their necks,
I prefer a new edition of the Spanish Inquisition
than to ever let a woman in my life I'm a quiet living man,
who prefers to spend the evening in the silence of his room,
who likes an atmosphere as restful as
an undiscovered tomb,
A pensive man am I, of philosophical joys,
who likes to meditate, contemplate,
far for humanities mad inhuman noise,
Quiet living man....
But, let a woman in your life, and your sabbatical is through,
in a line that never ends comes an army of her friends,
come to jabber and to chatter
and to tell her what the matter is with YOU!,
she'll have a booming boisterous family,
who will descend on you en mass,
she'll have a large wagnarian mother,
with a voice that shatters glass,
Let a woman in your life,
Let a woman in your life,
Let a woman in your life I shall never let a woman in my life.

Too late for that, but she is a wonderful woman and this post is fer her :-)

The carpenter and his tools

I could'nt agree more with what Cipher and Joe have suggested.

Perhaps i do need to review the tools i've used. See what i've done wrong and try to make them right.

Thank you for the feedback guys, and especially you Joey :-). You're always looking out for me arent you?

After taking some time off from my ranting, I thought about where I was and where i'd like to be. Sure i've missed a few things on the way and if you dont buy the ticket, you will be thrown off the train!

Feedback taken guys.

Now see, that probably serves as a good lesson for all of those reading this. What seems to makes sense, might be total non-sense! I guess thats the way stuff usually works. I'm off to review my tools and make a coffin that fits me perfectly :-)

LOL! Talk about thinking out of the box! (if you'll excuse the pun)

How can a Monday be good?

Well....yeah! It's Monday after all! That cant be good. I mean school starts on a Monday. You start work on Monday. God started creation on Monday. So it's true that everyone hates Monday.

Well...see...I learnt something very important today. That it is right to hate Monday. Thats why it was invented and the concept of liking Monday is fundamentally flawed. It's as unnatural as flying pigs. So - the big question here is "How can Monday be good?"

It started as a typical Monday. Got to work early so that I could get a headstart with the stuff i need to do for the day/week/months ahead. There's alot of big changes happening and with all of these changes happening its important to stay on top of everything. Since you'd normally have the weekend to get drunk or just spend some time with your better half - in my case the PC or the X-Box, it's just fair that God punishes you by making you go back on Monday. But when I started my stuff today, I was pretty happy to know that the stuff I would struggle to get out on a normal day, came to me with surprising ease on a Monday. It's a strange phenomena really, but it works. Allow me to enumerate how:

• Monday work is usually fresh work. So you're not chasing your tail.
• Monday allows you to plan for the week ahead and i've learnt the hard way - that failing to plan is planning to fail.
• Try this. Set up a feedback session with your boss on a Monday. Chances are that you'll get put in your place in such a dignified way that you'll just want to curl up and die in a corner. But if you tell yourself that you've got to prove the boss wrong, you will go out of your way and be twice as productive to do so.
  

Result - you're happy. Your boss is happy (in a Utopian world really) and your peers just cant wipe that grin off their faces. But what really works is if you have a Dilbert comic strip pinned to your desk and you thank the big G that you dont have to put up with Dogbert.

No...but honestly, 06/06/05 - Monday, could well be the turning point in my life. I know that i've learnt some valuable lessons this Monday.

• The boss is always right
• You're damned if you do and you're damned if you dont
• If your boss has it in for you, nothing can save you
• If you try to please your boss, you will fail
• If you piss your boss off - you will die
• If you die, your boss will not be happy and will drag you out of the grave to finish what you started.
• You will never see heaven.
• You've already gotten a taste of hell, so the afterlife and the underworld will not be something new.

So that brings me back to where we started. HOW CAN MONDAY BE GOOD?

Answer - it can't.

How could it? I tried looking for answers and I couldnt find any. So I tried making them up and look what came up!

Before I sign off for tonight, i'd like you to ponder on this - If God, being who he was with all that power and magic stuff and wisdom couldnt not make the world on a Monday, how can the lesser mortals do so? I mean, She/He is GOD afterall! She/He could have just made everything on Monday and we could have had a 6 day weekend!

But like I said - If the boss has it in for you, try as hard as you may, you're screwed.

Thats all folks. It's Tuesday tomorrow and i've got to go finish what I started.

So this is where it all started...

Hello,

My name is Reginald and I'm from India.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. You've probably been too bored, or you're someone I know or you're just looking for something different. Either ways, I hope what I write here can be of some consequence.

I know it has to me. As I type, i'm thinking back to the time when an online presence meant having an email account. I quite distinctly remember the first email account i created - at Rocketmail.com, which was later bought by software biggie MicroSoft. I later graduated to making my presence stronger when I discovered my first IM client! Talking to a stranger across the globe sure felt good and when you're young, all you want to do is "learn" about different people, their cultures, their lifestyles. Over time though, I learnt that it's easier to stick to the Discovery channel or National Geographic.

Having a website was quite obviously the next step and so off I went to create my first website. I cant remember the URL now but it was all about video games. If I did create a site now, it'd still be about video games. This passion led me to sign up on a few forums where gamers could meet and I started with www.skoar.com/forums and have stayed their since. Online presence made with extreme predjudice!

While the pitfalls of an online presence have reared their ugly faces quite often in the news, it's very satisfying when you actually see something good come from it. Quite like a Pandora's box, except that this is no story. This online presence has brought me into contact with some serious gamers and non-gamers and i've probably made friends for life. I've also learnt alot of things that they'd never show on the Discover channel :-). A highly satisfying experience even though this is the kind of stuff my other friends just dont get.

So here's my next step. I'm out to try something new. Learn something new. Meet new people. Get more ideas and hopefully die a happy man.

You still here? OK...welcome to my blog. It's called Randomization because life and your thoughts can never be themed. How could it be? If it were, it'd be perfect. Irony or coincidence? Who knows? But what I do know, is that Randomization, is here to stay.
