Alright, according to my blogger status, my last update was 8may09. Phew, not that i'm tracking, but as far as i know, there has been update every month since this blog ever started. Sure dont wish for a gap month on the archive column. Hate to break that streak.
Maybe one reaches a certain age and one just doesn blog anymore. Taking a break from typing seems so much the easier option. In fact, more often than not, i come online and all i find myself doing is facebooking, just mouse clicks here and there. I'm not even checking personal emails. I reckon, no one really send personal mails now, except for forwarded links, funny you tube videos, spam mails attempting to boost one's libido.
When has personal email become targets for such adverts and spam? Little wonder people turn to facebooking cos it truely reflects what one does online. Be it some personality quizzes to determine your birth number, your actual birth age, your actual secondary school what not.Isnt it strange? Why deem actual, hence insinuating that we are actually living in a "virtual" era? Paradox. Or, to write down how you are actually feeling via status update. "xxxx is( fill in the blanks).... how many hours ago."
And let's not forget the games, and the scores, be it that glorious victory over that friend who topped you just few mins ago, or if you first started and your pathetic score was published.i came to understand you can hide the shame.
Me, i cant seem to get into the hang and momentum of the above 2 activities. Nope, yet to do a single quiz, and yet to play the highly regarded "Bejewelled".I'm just into photos upload. Just like to see photos of friends and strangers.
Quite sad actually if you should ask me, people around me are like hitting 75K in bejewelled, knowing that they should be with what type of person, their desired occupation, their birth number and i know none about myself. I cant really share that with people unless i take the first step to try in facebook,upload applications, take up that quiz. But i just aint into it.
Have i reached that stage? Anyway, i started reading Man and Wife by Tony Parson. Glad to add i really love this man. His way of writing. Its sense of humour and touch of reality makes it a really good read.
I like how there's really no bad guy or good guy in the story. Cos life aint that clear cut black and white. In this story, the main cast Harry Silver plays a romantic man, a good father, a good son, but sadly, * at least this is consistent with most stories we hear about men*, he cheated on his 1st wife, contemplated with cheating on his 2nd wife, thinking of running away with his gf. Sounds like a jerk doesn he?
Not really, when you put yourself in his shoes, that's what Parson is capable of. True feelings, perspectives otherwise left uncovered due to stereotypes, self-centring's views imposed upon us as we grow up.
Some points that strike me fro the book, abit lazy to pick the book up to copy line by line.
**********
When one couple enter a divorce, it's the grandparents that suffers the negligence. Cos, the kid now have to spend time with both parents apart, there's hardly time for the grand pop and grand mom.
I personally love this one-- they only pronounced you anything twice in your life. Once when you are husband and wife, the other when you are dead.
When you're young, its "i love you because i need you", When you're old it is "i need you because i love you". Nothing wrong with either, just that the latter tend to last longer...
The way to keep a marriage going is to keep falling in love with each other.
*******
of course, there were some stand up comedy jokes by Eamon a character in the novel, which i had a great laugh but i could rem any off hand.
Anyway, that's about all i can think of unloading off my mind. Some memories which i'll want to keep. One day, when Facebook is no longer in the fad, i'll be able to relish the days of Facebook applications, "knocking" a few beers off with your friends, sending a gift, "buying" your friends, virtual marriage. And who knows.. a virtual divorce just to complete today's reality statistics.
=p
