The hot shower in my house is repaired.

This would be a good thing if a) I wasn't moving out in a week. b) I can't use it til tomorrow evening. and c) The last time I bathed was monday.

anyway.

This new comic I found is so awesome.

well...

yes it is. It's pretty awesome.

It's called WE ARE THE ROBOTS and it's so awesome.

I'm so tired and I so want to bath.

Bath bath bath bath.

The heater in my house gave away.

As a result we have no hot showers at home. It is being taken(hot showers) at other places that is not my house.

But that's not what I'm here about. I'm here about happier funnier things thing.

check out John Cleese's Open letter to America in which he revokes America's independence due to the inability to elect a competent president.

And that's about it.

I'm not one for cheery insights today. A life without hot showers in the northern hemisphere sucks banana balls I tell you.

Have you ever googled yourself?

Granted, your name may have more results or definitions or whatever if it's english, but here's what I found.

Top of results is my wiki entry. (wow) As I clicked on it I'm amused(but not surprised) to find my name is associated with females, birds, seascoffing, a chinese idiom and genetics. In that order, also something about millions and millions of years and filling up the sea.

okay maybe a little bit surprised.

As a trophy to adorn on my oversized ego, I paste the wiki entry in it's entirety here.

Jingwei
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Jingwei is the name of a character in Chinese mythology. Originally the daughter of the emperor Yandi, she perished at a young age in the East Sea. After her death she chose to assume the shape of a bird in order to exact revenge upon the sea by bringing stones and small twigs from the mountains nearby over the sea in an effort to fill it up. Jingwei even has a short dialogue with the sea where the sea scoffs her, claiming that she wouldn't be able to fill it up even in a million years, whereupon she claims that she will then proceed to take ten million years, even one hundred million years, whatever it takes to fill up the sea so that others would not have to perish as she did.

From this myth comes the Chinese expression "Jingwei filling the sea" meaning a symbol of dogged determination and perseverance in the face of seemingly impossible odds.

Professor Manyuan Long from the University of Chicago named a new Drosophilia gene after Jingwei because it was - like the princess - 'reincarnated' with a new function and a new appearance (structure). Other related genes were named following the legend.

Yes narcissistic blah blah. Tell me something I DON'T know.

tagging posts.

I was tagging up my previous posts up til now when something hit me.

If I tag a post advertising and not life, it feels like I'm not considering advertising part of life, which it clearly is, but if I tag it life as well, then it feels like I'm missing something, If I'm not making sense then yeah, I agree, but somehow it don't feel right yeah?

Maybe I should just remove all the "life" tags since it seems redundant.

But the life tags make it sound like I'm actually having a life outside shit I post here.

Which I clearly do. *ahem*

.....

But if I tag advertising "life" then I'd have to tag everything else life too. Cause it seems to work out logically that way, since everything here is part of life for some sort...


.... I need to find a new definition for life.

The key to failure.

The Key too failure, to me, is thinking too big.

I'm not saying we shouldn't think big, but it works out better if we think small and work our way up in small-sy small-sy steps.

Think big, but keep it in the back of your head.

Think big but start small.

Start small but think big.

Think big and small.

So think small, but set big goals.

Small+small+small=big.

While I'm at it...

This blog is an EXCELLENT resource for creatives. I do not say that lightly. The caps were justifiably used. The previous 2 sentences were worth their time. So is this one and the previous one.

seriously. GO.

I now pronounce you, art director and copywriter.

I've been in the UK for some time now, and have worked with an art director for several months. My view that over here at least, the relationship between an art director and a copywriter is akin to marriage.

for those back home, you might say "what? surely that's abit extreme isn't it?" or "you siao ar?"

well sad to say but that's what it seems like here. for proof of that go over to here.

Did you see the photos? the references? I'm dead sure I'm not the first one to make the connection, but finding a right partner in advertising is alot like hunting for a spouse. They're like your second significant other. Many of the sam rules apply. Should you be happy that in Malaysia it's nowhere in fucking hell near the state it is here?

maybe.

A tinggling sensation tells me that marriages in the UK is the thing that helps secure the quality of ads. Or the incomprehensibility of it all. who knows.

What do you think.
