Politics of religion

So my boss wants to block people from doing a masters that studies representations of masculinity and feminism. It's like a joke.
He also wants to block kids studying queer literature.

These are fields of study in literature. No wonder people feel threatened by lit.

So anyway, we blocked the queer thing. Easy to justify.  Masculinity we blocked coz the kid says he is going to do it on television series.

But the feminist studies of milton's paradise lost. How you gonna block that?
Cant block it coz it offends your religious beliefs!!!!

Egg xactly

I have to write about this.
So this guy in Australia threw an egg at the back of this politician's head coz he was fed up with his racist politics.

A Singapore teenager here made a comment on fb on an article related to this egg  boy's stunt, saying "I'd like to throw an egg at shanmugam". To which a 47 year old said "I'll provide the gg and heres the address of where he does his meet the people session"

Some jokers complained to the police about these two guys and the police investigated them!

1984 is here and now and we are big brother ourselves.

So shanmugam says in fb when he read it he laughed it off.. I so want to believe him. It's too petty to send the law after every joker who says he'd like to crack an egg on you.

And to his post, hisbardent followers said no they shouldn't have said that etc etc. Hes got a mob following here. Silent majority etc. Hes like nayagan. Or godfather. Scary.

Why what why

Some people
Are born meek and mild
And others
Born with fire
In their bellies

If mature plays favourites

If Nature plays favourites
it must be with blue and green.
Why else would air and water
clear as glass
take on sheens and shades
of blue, blue-green
in skies and seas?

Then again, she has moods.
At sunset her skies glow orange red
her seas reflect purple black
but for most of the day
just blue.

Random thoughts on holiday

Haunted by work related nightmares I wake at 4 am to do some work and end the nightmares
Working working
6am
Sudden downpour! Such heavy rain after days of sunshine

Hope it clears so we can go paraw sailing! Or kids will be disappointed. Glad we made the most of our days this far.  Out almost all day since the day we arrived! Three days of the sun the sea and the pool.
Gorgeous.

What happend to all my posts

All my jan posts are gone! Where are they?

Thoughts

You know everyday
We could be dead

Its startling to realise that

People die everyday
when flying on a plane on holiday
When praying in a place of worship

And you realise
It could be you
It could be me

You wonder
Is there a special reason
for your own survival
A purpose to your life

Then you know
No
It could be you
So better be careful
Be thankful
Thank God for every day of our lives
And live well. Kindly happily. Thankfully.

Senseless killings

We live in a depraved world
Depraved depraved world
A madman killed people at a mosque
As if that is not enough
There are people supportive of the madman too
How depraved can you get

Unprovoked attack against innocent people

You wear
a scarf a saree a cap a turban a beard
It offends me
Down you go

For every voice raised in protest
A voice rises in support
For this is the world we live in now
Anything goes

Everything goes
Like a tapestry boring holes in itself
We turn on each other
For boredom

Lighthouse of the orcas

Argentinian movie
Beautiful seascape
Bit predictable characters
Dont go beyond types. Bit too perfect. Like what my friend said the artifice of fiction 
But still nice

Hero villain

Can a man be both a hero and a villain
A rapist and a war hero
A genius and child molester

Yes of course

But we dont want to believe that

Down

Im feeling a little down to be honest
I was supposed to pick up saro. I left so late my dad had picked him up already
I had breakfast at macs and set up credit card and internet banking and all so not a co.plete waste but still

Sometimes I feel I'm on this wheel running running as fast as I can. But I can't keep up. The wheel keeps going whether I'm on it or not.
Not an original metaphor. But I feel it now.
Rat race. Mentally ill rat. Algernon. 

So keep going. Doing what I feel is best. Always have a long list of things left to be done.
Keep running running

The doc tells me to blink
I just want to close my eyes
That tired I am
This race
Cannot be won
Human I am
Yearn for the next
Always
I must

Snec.where you learn patience

What is this life we live
Born.
Make mistakes
Grow old
Die

Why? Been asking since I was 14 or so. Am 40 now.

Life is sometimes an indulgence of the senses.
Life cycles on
Eat. Feel bloated. Dump. Eat again. Cycle on
