63. Art of War (Sun Zhu)

When Luiz Felipe Scolari was coach of Brazil, he gave each of his players a copy of Sun Tzu's The Art of War, a 2500-year-old Chinese text on military ...

Sun-tzu's The Art of War has led military strategists, economists, politicians and other leaders for more than 2,000 years, and has been translated numerous times.

I wonder ... what my girl will tell me if I tell her I was reading the Art of War before our wedding.

62 . Patience

Waiting is killing me these days ...
It was the Pride Weekend this weekend ... I did not go to the parade ... But I did something equally gay ... I washed all the window glasses ... something which I had not done in the last 15 years.

61. Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars

We'll do it all ... Everything ... On our own
We don't need ... Anything ... Or anyone
If I lay here ... If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and ... just forget the world?

I don't quite know ... How to say ... How I feel
Those three words ... Are said too much ... They're not enough
If I lay here ... If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and ... just forget the world?

Forget what we're told ... Before we get too old
Show me a garden ... that's bursting into life
Let's waste time ... Chasing cars ... Around our heads
I need your grace ... To remind me ... To find my own
If I lay here ... If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and ... just forget the world?

Forget what we're told ... Before we get too old
Show me a garden ... that's bursting into life
All that I am ... All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes ... They're all I can see
I don't know where ... Confused about how as well
Just know that these things ... Will never change for us at all
If I lay here ... If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and ... just forget the world?

PS: My favorite line as a lazy lover is ... If I lay here ... If I just lay here ... Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

60. Funny shopping list ...

Too lazy to scan it ... but my shopping receipt read like this:

SONY CD-R, TROJAN LUB, SS THICK WW (it's not what you think!), MINI CARROTS (who knows what you think!), WNK DEC NGT (it's not what you think!), DE-CREASE (it's not what you think!), 4PK T/LIGHT (I don't remember this one!)

59. Still Kicking ...

... had to work today.

58. Noise pollution ...

There is nothing worse than having your cubical next to division's secretary ... who spends the whole day speaking trash with other chix ... the picture shown is for illustrative purpose ... actual packages are ugly and fat

57. Nostalgia strikes ...

The smell of pesticides always reminds me of the taste of cherry ... which I have missed for the last 5, 6 years ...

56. SCI-FI literacy journey ...

My journey started with Jool Vern, then Isaak Asimov (Robot laws) and I guess I stopped with Arthur C. Clarke ...

Last night in a moment of drunkenness it came to my mind that like the tripods in Rendezvous with Rama I am a trinity fan ... three type of teas ... three type of coffees ... three type of liquors ... three type of spices ... three type of shampoos ...

I'm loosing it ...

55. Margarita ...

Summer has not arrived yet ... but the Margarita season has started for sure.

I passed out on the balcony after 1 maybe 2 maybe 3 maybe 4 maybe 5 maybe 6 (I think I stopped at 6) shots of tequila ... and found myself shivering on the armchair 3 hours later ... the next day till afternoon ... felt like someone has hammered the left side of my forehead (from memoir's of an old man).

54. Salesman ...

I complained to my boss and he increased my salary and promised that my work load will decrease.

There is a saying in Persian that a good perfume should smell good and sell itself, no matter what the salesman is telling you ...

Well in real life that's not going to work ... instead they use a celebrity for tv-add and send Barenaked Ladies to shopping centres to force men to buy a perfume ...

Moral of story: you should shout for your own right ... silence means you are satisfied.
