Hope you read the title in the tune of Beethoven's 5th Symphony.
So, I've never really been such a fan of specific blogs.
You know... like a blog solely dedicated to some topic. Even intellectual stuff has somehow become slightly boring to me after time. I think I'm just a fan of variation. I guess you're supposed to browse something else and then get back to the blog in order to break up the monotony.
Meh.
Anyway, so I think I was introduced to blogging by Cavie. (See http://cah-vie.blogspot.com/ )
I enjoy his ramblings.
However, I realised that so many blogs don't capture the person I know (and am fond of).
[Waits for Cavie to jump back in horror/confusion]
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that I don't like your blog. It's just that you're witty and cheerful in person and then suddenly your blog sounds like you in 50 years. I know those thoughts are part of you too, but that's not ALL you are.
I don't like how everyone's blogs have somehow become a way to express deep and emo shit.
I want more random posts and quick thoughts like I see in Adrian's (http://awesomenessincarn8.blogspot.com) and Sanchia's (http://supersanchia.blogspot.com) blogs.
Simple and yet awesome.
Anyway... just a thought.

Ah, Akinator
This website has given me endless satisfaction and entertainment.
I know it has its merit as a novelty website when you first see it, but I figure it deserves a spot on my blog.
Plus, I might forget it and will see it here and check it out again. Hopefully it stays around.
http://en.akinator.com/
At the risk of spoiling the fun, I'll explain:
It's basically 21 Questions or whatever that generic game is.
You think of a character/person (fictional or real) and it'll ask a series of questions and determine who you're thinking of.
I know there's only a finite combination of answers it needs for a correct answer but I still enjoy it :)
It's quite an awesome source of fun.
Anyway, just thought I'd share it.
(Also, happy one year and eight months to my Verushka. Love, hugs, kisses, sex, marriage, children, etc.)

It's a tie!
So, I have to know. Seriously.
Why does Dilbert's tie stick up like that?
WHY.
I'd understand if it was his shoes or even his pants. It'd make sense.
Is there a wire in his tie?
Is his tie horny?
Perhaps there's a constant upwards-blowing breeze around him?
Maybe his shoes have little fans on them?
MAYBE IT'S HURRICANE SANDY (If you're reading this at another time and don't remember this reference (or if you're me in a couple minutes time), I'll remind you that this hurricane attacked USA in 2012.)
Maybe his tie is alive. Frankentie?
Sigh.
Okay, so I Googled it.
Wikipedia says:
"In nearly every strip, Dilbert's tie is curved upward. While Scott Adams, the creator of the Dilbert comic strip, has offered no definitive explanation for this, he has explained the tie at least as a further example of Dilbert's lack of power over his environment. A second explanation given by Adams in the Dilbert FAQ is that "he is just glad to see you". Adams has also hinted that the tie may be displaying an aversion to him. Additionally, in Seven Years of Highly Defective People, Adams wrote: "Many readers asked me to allow Dilbert to lose his innocence with Liz, so to speak. But I didn't see any way I could do that in a comic strip and get it past the editors. So I developed a secret sign. I told the people who receive the Dilbert newsletter that if Dilbert ever got lucky with Liz, I would draw his normally upturned necktie flat one day."
The flat-necktie strip was printed on August 9, 1994, in which Dogbert suspected that Dilbert had gotten lucky; ironically, the tie was shown flattened after Liz stated she did not believe in fornication (Dogbert wondered if Dilbert, who was acting oddly serene, had discovered religion; Dilbert said he "thought he was Unitarian").[4] In another strip, Dilbert met Antina, an overly masculine female coworker who caused his tie to flatten and point downward,[5] strengthening the idea of the tie being a phallic symbol (Adams himself has said that he does not know what it means). On January 11, 2011, Dilbert was diagnosed with pon farr which caused an irresistible urge to mate. His tie was straight for the next two strips. Sometimes when Dilbert is surprised, scared, or has been beaten up, his tie goes straight. A series once went on about his tie, during which Dogbert attempts to find out. He tries having Ratbert eat one of the ties, theorizes that it has an aversion to him, and eventually gave up after a discussion with the garbageman."
... Well that kinda killed my interest in the tie...
Although I mentally chuckled at the inside joke :)
Clever.
Anyway, that's my pondering for the day.
KTHXBAI

A little while ago, communicating with a LAN not so far away...
Conversation with Sean:
------------------------
Sean: dude, a pretty girl just sat next to the computer next to me, i was searching for star wars wallpapers at the time, she left soon after. she didn't seem so pretty after that.
me: She went from Leia to Jabba in 1.6 seconds.
Sean: lol. the force was not with her
she wasn't gonna feel my force. :P
me: Star Wars? She doesn't give a sith.
Sean: it wasnt the wallpapers she was looking for.
me: Once she saw the Star Wars wallpapers, she was Qui GONE.
Sean: she felt as if she was in alderaan places.
me: LOL
She left you to park off, Solo.
Sean: she just ewok up and left.
Sean: it was a pretty darth situation after that
she was just another c3p Ho
me: LOL at the ewok one.
Maybe she thought you were a little too tall to be a Stormtrooper.
Sean: lolololol
Sean: i was a lil Hoth under the collar though
me: LOL
Sean: my hyperdrive didn't need fixing when she was around.
me: Lucky she just left though. If she was really bad, she could have sprayed you with Mace... Windu.
Sean: that would've been some Grievous bodily harm.
me: :D
Was trying to think of a way to use that.
Sean: lol, i got nothing now. can't think.
me: Maybe she only goes for guys that have a tattoo...ine...
Sean: i can't even try, coz there is none.
lol
me: She was like Obi Wan KeNObi
Sean: she walked out the door and left it aJAR JAR.
me: Maybe it's because you weren't wearing a Tie.
Sean: lol. And i pictured us eating coruscants in paris too
me: SHE SENSED A DISTURBANCE IN THE FORCE (How did we not think of that one?)
Sean: lol, it's the obvious ones that elude us.
me: Did she walk out normally? Or did she leave while dancing Gungan Style?
Sean: she seemed a lil Fett though.
me: Maybe she didn't think your lightsaber was long enough?
me: Maybe she thought you were The PhanTOM Menace.
Sean: LOL, nah, i think i just underestimated her power to resist me.
me: Maybe it's because she said I and you said RRRRRRRRRRRR
*hi
Sean: maybe it's coz of the food i had in my mouth at the time, it was a bit Chewie.
me: Caveshen: Do or do not make jokes, there is no try.
I pasted the convo to him.
Sean: Lololol
me: :/ can't think of anything else.
Sean: yeah, i think we've exhausted it. there's only so much star wars in my head.
me: I find our lack of jokes disturbing
Sean: me sa think so too.
==========
Conversation with Caveshen (after pasting most of the conversation with Sean):
----------
Caveshen: ROFLCOPTER.
This is one of those I wish I was there moments.
EPIC.
me: We're both stuck for jokes now.
Caveshen: Lololol, it was fucking funny though.
So no harm done. :D
No need for FORCE it.
*to.
-____-
me: LOL FIRST JOKE AND THERE'S A TYPO
Caveshen: Do or do not make jokes, there is no try.

Hmm... Makes Sense
So, this random thought was in my head recently:
Which of the five senses is your strongest?
I'm sure, most people will say sight or hearing.
I considered it for a while and thought I'd go with smell.
Explanation:
I'm a pretty messed up guy sometimes. I could probably watch someone get beheaded or watch someone throw up or defecate in public and, yes, I'd be sorta disturbed, but I'm sure I'd be okay until I smelt it.
Yeah, the smell would be the thing that gets to me most.
Horrible images?
Well, spoiler alert: I might say a few horrible things in my blog. I'm pretty open.
Anyway, point is, that's why I'd say smell is the dealbreaker for me.
I welcome comments and opinions about which sense is strongest with you (preferably with explanations of why you'd choose that sense).
3...2...1... GO.

Phuza Thursday
No, really, guys. My workplace actually has a Phuza Thursday.
Thursday is Pub Night. Free drinks after work.
WHAAAAT?!
That's right.
I might have forgotten to mention this earlier.
Also, we're in the process of moving to a bigger and better building across the road, so while the construction's going on, I had to be inducted so I'm now allowed to enter the new site before it's completed.
Did that yesterday.
Will soon have to say bye to my desk that I only recently acquired. :(
Okay, back to learning about networking on Dimension Data's online courses.

Actually working and stuff
Sup, people.
As the title implies, I have actually been doing stuff here at work.
It may not take up 100% of your time, but it tires you out quite a bit.
It's pretty cool though.
Feel a little more important. Sense of accomplishment. Smell like a man at the end of the day. Etc.
Totally lost some weight too.
SHUT UP, I DID, OKAY!
Hi, Verushka :)
She was at the beach with me this weekend, guys. We had fun.
We walked a lot and that also contributed to my weight-loss.
Anyway lunchtime is just about up so back to work.
LATERZ.
