Roommate strikes again!

Ok, so a month or 2 ago I posted a video of my roommate using my computer and was talking about how he keeps using my stuff, taking things and leaving it in his room; basically not understanding the concept of sharing (receive AND give).

So about 2 weeks ago I came back from work and was going to check my downloads to see if they had finished. Going into my folder, the top 3 downloads had weird names of "slkjfkljfdjfdsjfkslfdsffd.wmv", I thought maybe I had a virus or somehow I had downloaded something along with my original download. The only way to find out what it is was to open it.

The media player loaded and after about 10 seconds I was greeted with a disgusting image; one guy sucking another one off! I closed the player and instantly thought, roommates been using my shit again but just to be sure I would check the internet history. The history turned out to be clear but then I dug deeper and opened the temp internet files; lo and behold, there it was. Scrolling down, the only website I saw was "buffgayboys.com" and the time was 13:00 onwards. I was fuming at this point, so I told him to never use my computer again and never to enter my room ever again.

I haven't really seen him or heard of him since; he sits quietly in his room I suspect. Problem is the bastard still owes me money, so I have to keep asking him for it. But Today when I came home, I found a little note on stove from Grant reading:

"Look Patrick,

this kitchen need a clean, not just the work surfaces but the fridge, floor and oven to.

Your not living by yourself! So show some respect and leave the kitchen clean + tidy. Alright!"

Now I don't have a problem with cleaning things up but seriously who writes a stupid note like that? And the arrogant tone he's trying to put on "Look Patrick" and "Alright!", all you have to do is ask, problem is he doesn't know how to ask. I laughed when I read "so show some respect..", what the fuck does he know about respect? He uses all my crap without asking me, this guy is a complete dumbass. So I turned the paper over and began my reply:

"Dear Grant,

Perhaps you should learn the meaning of 'respect' before you start preaching it i.e. going in my room day after day, using my computer, taking my weights, taking my dvd player etc. ASK BEFORE YOU TAKE SOMEONE ELSE'S SHIT!

I cleaned the kitchen, now will you pay the bills?

Regards,
Patrick


P.S. You got this piece of paper from my room, didn't you?"

I have yet to hear from him.

Armi Ja Danni - Surreal Music (old school)

A finnish friend of mine gave me this a while ago, I couldn't stop watching it and couldn't stop laughing at the great choreography and amazing lyrics. "Oh you're absolutely fine! Your lips they taste of wine.."

Watch the guy doing the weird arm movement in the beginning as well, what were they thinking? I can't tell if it's the 80s or early 90s, its out of this world anyways! Perkele!

Joost aka The Venice Project

From the creators of Kazaa & Skype now comes their newest venture Joost. Joost is a new program that aims to bring free television to computers using P2P technology (the same technology used in Kazaa & Skype). Joost seems to be competing with other video services such as youtube, where Joost will have a searchable database of videos. They are also in talks with major movie companies to be able to show movies and tv shows on their service.

The service is currently in beta-testing and has not disclosed a launch date yet. Here are some pics from the software. Visit Joost for more information and to sign up for the beta-testing.

This job could be done by a four year old

A tribute to anyone who has ever used the london underground. The video is at the bottom.

"Some people might like to get a train to work
Or drive in in a Beamer or a merc,
Some guys like to travel in by bus,
But I can't be bothered with the fuss today
I'm going to take my bike,
Coz once again the Tube's on strike.
The greedy bastards want extra pay
for sitting on their arse all day
even though they earn 30K .
So I'm standing here in the pouring rain,
Where the fuck's my fucking train?"

Question of the Day?

I'm sure we all remember Aladin, the arab man who rubbed a lamp and found himself a Genie that would grant him 3 wishes. And surely once most people got thinking, his wishes were pretty dumb, the most obvious thing would be to wish for more wishes. But lets put aside being annoying & asking for more wishes; if you had one wish only, what would it be?

So I remember giving much thought to it over the years. What does one want if one can have anything? Sure we all wouldnt mind a billion, or a trillion dollars but why wish for the money and not the capability of creating the money? But money is pretty boring to wish for anyways, we can come by it one way or another, so what would be the next thing? A superpower would be neat right? Flying is pretty cool, but who doesnt want to fly and again we have several things to fly with now, so that answer is pretty much redundant too.

Then I came up with the best thing to wish for; it just makes so much sense. The ability to stop time. If you could stop time, you could travel anywhere and do anything. You could make a billion just by going over to your bank, walking past the frozen bodies and unload a small amount into a handy $-marked bag, and skip away, pulling the managers pants down while you go out.

But if you think through it how much better your life would be if you could stop time. One of the first things that came to my mind was that every time I had to get up to Uni and didnt because I wanted to sleep, tadaa problem solved. Thats just thinking small though, there would be so many other things. Now if you would add to that power of stopping time, the power to also let other people enjoy the stopped time i.e. if you held their hand they would be unfrozen too.

Then I started getting confused though, I started thinking through it too much and started wondering what would happen to objects such as cars, planes etc. would they also be frozen? and if so, did that mean i could not go for a joyride because the gas would not flow in the pistons. I think you'd be pretty ticked off if you found you wished for stopping time and you couldn't do anything. I guess what Aladin needed back then was a lawyer to set up terms & conditions so that everything went to plan.

We can expand on this wish as well. Instead of only being able to stop time, why not control time. But that just gets you into a lot of trouble if I've learned anything from movies such as Click. At the end of the day you're not gonna get that wish, so dream on buddy!

Let me know what you would wish for?
