Bullshit (these days) is anything that provides no tangible benefit to our existence but yet has incredibly significant exposure, enough to make it look/feel/sound/smell like an important slice of the pie called life. Here's a few from my list: - Fashion - Professional Sports - Politics - Reality TV - Liberal arts - Music - Movies - Nationalism ( i.e. racism/Clanism/reppin' my hood-ism/my country is better than yours-ism etc) - alleged post-secondary education - ipods - PSP - iTunes - 200 GB hard drives - Pollution vs outcry from the same masses involved in mass production/mass consumption - V12 engines in rush hour traffic The list is longer but I think y'all get my drift.

For every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. Meaning whatever you do has consequences and reprocussions. You are: a) old enough and responsible enough to get a job and provide for yourself. b) Be a burden to some relative who will be forced to take you in even though they really don't want to. Either way, should you choose to disobey parents they will feel that you have betrayed them, you have chosen to neglect what they asked and chose to do your own thing. There is no forgiveness for that. But if you think you can live with that then go ahead and do what you want. Might be too much to expect them to respect your choice when you so obviously do not respect theirs, init?

Caption # 4 Oh Sh!t

Holidays Holidays.... we didn't forget about the competition, we just filed it under "work" and gave it a rest for a few days. I must say the creative juices are starting to flow ( or bearly drip) but its a start...Let take it up another notch and see what happens. 2nd Round Results 1st Place -5 points Afromali - Whazzzzzzzzuuuuuuuuuuuup????!!! 2nd Place - 3 points Seeker- So this is what the other side of a horse's a$$ looks like [big Grin] 3rd Place - 1 point Caano Geel- put it here baby Congratulations !!! Round 3

Well, picking a winner in this bunch won't be hard...seems the witty folks are mostly on a chirstmas break. Results 1st Place -5 points Castro - "Wanna see the rest? Come to Jesus first!" 2nd Place - 3 points Daanyeer - The vatican is low on budget and is therefore pimping the nuns to save the church. 3rd Place - 1 point Caano Geel - The nun second from the left to the others (in her best britney voice): Oops!...we did it again Congratulations !!! SECOND PICTURE Now here's the next installment Come on now...let try and get a little more creative.

Well what you have to do is find a funny line that goes with the picture. for example: unfortunately this month "Laundry day" at the Monestary and "Free Cappucino day" at the cafe fell on the same day

For me 2005 has to go down as the Year of Women. (Most of) The highlights and (some)low points of the year have involved members of the the fairer sex. I had the pleasure to meet some incredible women of varying ages, ethinicities and socio-economic backgrounds that had a profound effect on serveral aspects of my day to day life. Whether positive or negative, my encounters will serve as a benchmarks and points of reference for the future. -One lady showed me how determination and focus in the face of adversity leads to a higher level of understanding and a different definition of success. - Another lady demonstrated how to maintain a face of holiness and decency to conceal a damaged character living off deception and greed with a singular focus to destroy all that is in her path - Yet another proved to me the strength of honesty and value of friendship in times of difficulty and torment. The willingness to sacrifice oneself for the benefit of others There is an Old Chinese Saying : "May you live in interesting times" it's both a curse and a blessing and I think 2005 will surely fall in both categories. I can't wish for the good and not expect the bad, so Inshallah 2006 will be as interesting if not more than 2005. Nomads, thanks for listening, and thanks for all the other things that you bring to this forum and I look forward to plenty more. Peace.

I get headaches easily...go find somewhere else to scream.

Pharax, I know it qualifies as insubordination, but thats the whole point. you can actually draw parallels witha slave master society. and most of the time your boss is too unqualified for their job, but your 'perma-tanned" a$$ can't say anything about it. cause the people above him/her probaly hate you more. ..... but I'm getting carried away. Point is most of these cadan people will kill you with kindness while they chop you down at the knees....Saying forget it to waitress duties is not insubordination...its small stand. the whole point was "make a stand".

Adeer, I see what you mean...and I'm sure I can find complications, if thats what I'm looking for. *Abortion is murder under any circumstance, *income tax is a good idea thats being practiced poorly. *War and peace the simplest one - whoever runs out of things to say throws the first punch. *Catching drifts usually lands me in strangely unfriendly spots. *Everytime someone directs the words "Be Careful" at me, I take it as a threat. *I use "Always" and "Never" to symbolise totality *its -14 right now, so hot water is not necessarily a bad idea. Thanks for the tips...I'll take them under advisement.

Neolithic???? is that you're new term for direct, straight-forward, honest? "Its not simple to say no" kulaha...maybe not for you, but Neolithically, I don't think that whole "if I say no people will hate me" theory works for me...I'd rather call a spade a spade a let people deal with it. Mcpharax you should try that sometime...Complicated issues always have simple solutions.

Bee, sweetie, take my advice, find the 'civilised' switch in you and take a sledge hammer to it. this how that scene would play out: Boss: Could you do me a favour? (You hear: Hey you black girl, come here) Aniga: Off course. ( You say: WHAT?) Boss: You couldn't make the 7 people I'm having a meeting with drinks, could you? Here's the list. Thanks. (You hear: fetch some refreshments and stay out of sight- Your Mouth, shut it...your role, know it) Aniga: Oh sure. Happy to utilise my invaluable skills and experience to undertake such a task. (You say: Those days are over, you missed them by about a century...now get your own drinks and get me one too before I *****-slap your narrow *** ) When they said your attitude determines your altitude they didn't mean take shit and smile. ....Better yet pop your head into the meeting with your eyes open really wide and say "I see white people!!!"

You're right FF, I did get personal there...for that I apologise. I just caught up in the momentum of the situation....besides it nothing you can't handle. Uma, you can strike my previous comments from the record. P.s. FF you're still a Loose canon and an inherent danger to all you come in contact with....stay clear of the cave...please and thank you.

FF, noting and ignoring is probably why you're single and bitter right now Uma, don't listen to her poisonous rhetoric, you'll end up lonely and vicious, ambushing poor unsuspecting guys just to make yourself feel better.

You probably started the site. is it one of those "If I can't get a date no other woman should" things? You need to get in touch with your feminine side, cause right now you're just sounding like "Feminine Fatality"
