Why don't we eat dogs?

I was talking to someone the other day and we got talking about weird foods, snake, rabbit, twinkies, you know weird things we eat or don't eat. The whole conversation got me thinking about things that I don't like to eat, and I decided that I am a little picky when it comes to foods I'll stuff in my mouth.

Happy Valentines Day

Yet another holiday invented by the greeting card companies and perpetrated by women who like chocolate and men who want some, no not chocolate. 

Why chocolate, a smart man would give something healthier and less fattening, just sayin.

I trolled for a few Valentines Day cards and of course I found the usual ones that looked pretty much just like every other card from every other year, but then there were some special ones that I have to share with you. I swear that I didn't make these up, they are real cards that you could buy if you were so inclined.

Why spell check is evil or how education is still useful.

Hi, My name is Anthony and I was a dumb ass in school.

As anyone who knows me well will tell you, I sucked in school, it took me 30 years to admit it out loud. I was one of those students that should have done well but I just didn't apply myself, lazy is what they would have called it back then, now they would have some acronym to explain it. But in all honesty, I was lazy, I hated school, it was just a social gathering that I felt out of sync with or better yet just not a part of.  In the end, I believe I manage to get what I mean across, or at least no ones told me otherwise.

Expats, who the hell do you think you are?

I have lived here for close to 7 years and I have become one with Malaysia, ok thats not true, I still don't like chicken feet, but the fact remains that I have never felt like an expatriate. I have since maybe the first month felt like this would be home for a few years at least, decades more likely.

To be blunt and honest, I don't like Expats, although technically I am an Expat but I have never been that arrogant ass who is always complaining about the way things are in Malaysia.

More Weather

Yesterday I wrote about the weather and I have many times in the past said that the weather here in KL is always the same, except when it isn't.

So some one reading the blog sent me a few pictures of the snow in Edmonton this year and while I was reading the email, the rain gods decided to dump the works on us, so I took a few pictures, but really the pictures didn't show what it was like. 

So here are a couple of videos I took a few hours ago, I would have uploaded them as it was happening except that the power went out.  I have to confess to being absolutely useless when it comes to video editing, so I'm uploading the raw footage from the less than stellar video camera function on my iPhone 3Gs, not Panavision for sure. Sorry if this post isn't all that pretty, but I am learning how to do these posts with video.

Weather WTF?

Well what the hell is going on with the weather?

I have been hearing news about a major winter storm going through North America, so of course I looked it up and it looks like a huge storm. It doesn't look like Alberta is getting hit too bad, but I'm not 100% sure. Since my parents are living in Mesa Arizona, I had a look and from all accounts they are freezing their navels off, navel oranges that is. So Mom and Dad, if you are reading this could ya let me know you're not frozen? Then again being good Canadians they are probably bitching that the golf course is closed. :)
