Can it be done?




From now on, if anything goes wrong, if I'm late for anything, or I need an excuse in general, I will blame whatever on global warming.

Is it an American thing to water lawns, or do other people in other countries do it as well? I understand wanting to keep your grass green, but do you really need to go to the extent to get out your hose and spray the grass?

Stop the madness!

World Cup drama

I'm waiting for NZ's first match of the world cup to start. I think everyone who stays up to watch us thrash an easy team are true patriots who deserve as much credit for the win as the players themselves. It takes dedication and stamina to stay up.

So it was a coincidence when I went on wikipedia and saw an article on the coffee bean and tea leaf shop. Two things make this coffee chain stand out from the others such as starbucks. The first is that most of the products are Kosher which is quite commendable. You know that you're not going to be drinking mouse milk, like from the Simpsons. The second thing is that you're allowed to smoke in their shop. I'm not against this because coffee is probably just as bad as smoking and if you don't believe this, then you should try drinking a few cups of coffee a day for a week (or increase your normal daily coffee intake by 3 times) and tell me you still feel as healthy as you did at the start of the week.

So is coffee bad or smoking ok? That's a tough question. They are probably both ok in moderation, like everything else.

On a side note, does anyone have magic mushrooms?

EDIT: I just found out they're a class A(!?) drug in NZ. how sad..

Beauty is a curse?

I watched a 20/20 story last night about how a contestant on the bachelor said her "beauty," was a curse. This is because people automatically hate her for it. Does anyone agree with this?

You might not agree with my opinion but I reckon what she says has merit. Some men get intimidated by hot women (and vice versa), and some average looking women envy and even hate good looking women without getting to know them first (I don't think there is vice versa here..).

This is not good as it means some people will never interact with a certain group of other people when we shouldn't even be grouping people by looks.

Then again, following  this logic, we shouldn't group people by race/religion/any other stereotypical group. We should all be one big happy family on earth, which is our house.

The moral of the story is don't be intimidated by anyone or hate anyone. Love everyone and Live Peacefully. Treat everyone as if they are your brother and sister, which they are (unless they are your partner).

Sorry for the rambling...I'll look on wikipedia next time for something to write about.
