It's already February! WHAT?!

WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING WITH MY LIFE?

Well, first of all,

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I know it's been a month plus since but I've been busy, alright. Stop being so needy.

Second of all,
I made a video and a petition that you need to sign ASAP because you love me:



N-th of all,
Bought myself a GoPro's ciplak Cousin's ciplak cousin, the SJ7000.

Which meanssssss... I'm all kitted out for adventuring.
The Legless Adventures!
Episode 1: Sabah bah - Released in April

Podcast?

At this juncture, I want to do EVERYTHING!

Also,
totes taking the 'Moving To France' bit in my head seriously.
Marseille *heart shaped eyes* I WANT TO LIVE IN YOU. For like 2 years or so.
and
AND
I get to learn French by immersion.

I've only been posting ranty angry posts in the last few so here's a happy one!

Updates on The Legless Adventures!

Previously I'd said that The Legless Adventures will start in 2017. I think it's a better idea to have it start in 2016 because I can't hold an idea for too long before it gets rotten haha.

Also, it doesn't matter who I'm travelling with because they will already be assisting me, the trick now is documentation! This is also great because I can use said documentation on my dive trips.

Tangent: Also spur of the moment thought about The Care & Maintenance Of Your Sha... It's really a very hilarious biography. Now that I think of it that way, it'll be easier to figure out how the chapters are going to be. Also to include 'pro-tips' and illustrations.

(Illustration example: comparison chart between average human female and Sha. Average human female muscle anatomy with correct musculature labels and Sha's muscle anatomy with labels on all muscles saying SMA3 except for brain which shows 'sometimes asshole-like' and heart showing 'stone'.)

Anyway, we are now looking at the XiaomiYiCamera because I cbf buying a gopro just to have it get lost. hahahahaha

I really can't complain about the life I have because I have a roof over my head, food on the table, I don't want for needs and my family unit is intact.

BUT that doesn't mean I am obliged to be in a good mood 100% of the time. I'm never in a good mood, I'm just really good at lying to general society. I hate most people and being a nihilist, alive is really just a race to being very, very, VERY dead.

Sorry, kids. When you die, you just die. You're not a special snowflake who was born to be a messiah. You're in my way and you should get a move on quickly. Just be a socially acceptable human being to the best of your ability and try not to murder anyone.

'Why?' is a question I always ask yet nobody has given me an absolute answer.

Let's just say today's main bulk of this post will go into the personal journal and the only other update is a link that's making me quite annoyed. But I'm on the rag so anything and everything is going to make me quite annoyed. Hell, I'm annoyed right now.

Here's the offending link.

http://www.elephantjournal.com/2015/08/to-the-women-who-are-never-the-one/

Now, I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I'm just annoyed that society has, yet again, made it the utmost importance that we all mosey along our lives, expand ridiculous amounts of energy to find 'the one' and pair up. Might I stress that, yes, it is our genetic imperative -- being a part of an evolutionary species -- to procreate. I get that. BUT why make up some mumbo jumbo about there being any one particular person for another one particular person? Bit shit.

Eugh. Also had a really bad meal. What a crap night.

... Alright, everything's been unloaded. Time for some games.

To make your night (or whenever you're reading this) infinitely more entertaining, do google Samurai Crab and Fried Egg Jellyfish.

On a more less amused note:

"Do one new thing every day!"
Okay, sure. But I also have a few things to add that is non negotiable.

I need the activity to be wheelchair friendly.
I need the activity to be mentally stimulating.
I need the activity to be easy to get to.
I need the activity to be available when I am.
Also, I would probably need an entourage.

Yes, life isn't as easy as walking out the door for some of us so be thankful for everything you have and don't be a prick about it.

Also, also, my phone decided to take a swim so I'm now on the hunt for a replacement phone.

I few thoughtful ideas before I away to bed this cool and wet Monday night. But before that, a list of thanks for today:

- Thanks for having an entertaining family.
- Thanks for a great dinner.
- Thanks for great friends, great company.
- Thanks for life.

So I've had a few ideas while going around doing life things today (and maybe some were thought up yesterday) so I'm just going to list them out and then maybe explain them a bit...

If I had a stand-up comedy routine it'll have to be called 'If The Shoe Fits' because it'll offend A LOT of people... But only if the shoe fits. START DATE: I'm not a comedian.

I've been wanting to do a podcast for years but I haven't gotten around to doing it yet because I simply cannot be bothered. I have a few ideas on topics which include cold readings for submitted scripts -- kind of like a radio novella, Smart chats on love, life, politics and money over food and just new music discovery.  START DATE: Soon?

The Legless Adventure. Where I, a cameraperson, and one other person will embark on a round-the-world trip to experience travel on a budget as a person with disabilities. An experience with all the hardships of being a PWD. To be published as a Vlog with a sister Blog which features recipes and other secret bonus content. START DATE: April 16 2017-ish.

Sha's 35th Birthday Roast. When I turn 35 I'd like my closest and dearest 10 to go on stage and tell hilarious anecdotes about my life. I want to be made fun of, to be the butt of jokes. And then,after they've had their fun, Imake fun of them. START DATE: 35th Birthday

...
...
... Also, also, when you realise your jokes and references are too highbrow for your friends.
*cries internally*

On Monday, the 26th of July 2015, about a day after a holiday in Bali, I had decided to start changing my habits. Exercise and good sleeping habits were to be implemented. It started with waking up at 7:30AM every day.

It's now been seven days and I'm slowly getting into the habit, albeit becoming a morning person after 28 years of being a late night owl is ridiculous. I wish I was a cat.

"Look at yourselves. Some of you teenagers, students. How do you think I feel and I belong to a generation ahead of you - how do you think I feel to have to tell you, 'We, my generation, sat around like a knot on a wall while the whole world was fighting for its human rights - and you've got to be born into a society where you still have that same fight.' What did we do, who preceded you? I'll tell you what we did. Nothing. And don't you make the same mistake we made..."

-Malcolm X

I like this quote very much. It reminds me to fight. To move. To be brave. To want change. To make change.

Nobody has solutions but everyone's a critic. If I don't start then who will?

I do believe my post on how to retort to people who throw religion upon you is... gone. I don't know how. So here's a re-cap!

Verses in the Quran that you can spurt to shut up holier-than-thou comments:

Numberrrrrrrr 3:

Surah Ghafir, Ayat 20 (40:20)

وَاللَّهُ يَقْضِي بِالْحَقِّ ۖ وَالَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِهِ لَا يَقْضُونَ بِشَيْءٍ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ

And Allah judges with truth, while those they invoke besides Him judge not with anything. Indeed, Allah - He is the Hearing, the Seeing.

Numero 2:

Surah Al-Hujurat, Ayat 11 (49:11)

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا يَسْخَرْ قَوْمٌ مِنْ قَوْمٍ عَسَىٰ أَنْ يَكُونُوا خَيْرًا مِنْهُمْ وَلَا نِسَاءٌ مِنْ نِسَاءٍ عَسَىٰ أَنْ يَكُنَّ خَيْرًا مِنْهُنَّ ۖ وَلَا تَلْمِزُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا بِالْأَلْقَابِ ۖ بِئْسَ الِاسْمُ الْفُسُوقُ بَعْدَ الْإِيمَانِ ۚ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَتُبْ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ

O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them; nor let women ridicule [other] women; perhaps they may be better than them. And do not insult one another and do not call each other by [offensive] nicknames. Wretched is the name of disobedience after [one's] faith. And whoever does not repent - then it is those who are the wrongdoers.

NUUMBER OOOOOONE:

Surah At-Tin, Ayat 8 (95:8)

أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَحْكَمِ الْحَاكِمِينَ

Is not Allah the best of all Judges?

Aaaaaaanyway,

Hello, internetizens, for another dose of... me. Haha.

Apparently an hour of reading your chosen field a day will make you some kind of expert within a few years. I could try it out but what I really need to do is start my investing shtick. Need my monays because monetary/financial freedom means you get a choice. It's really all I ask for.

I guess I should get to reading.

Also,

Evidently, if I am super grumpy and disagreeable, one of three things can be done to rectify this:
1. Feed me food for I am hangry.
2. Let me sleep because I will cut you.
3. I need alone time. Me time. Pyjama time. Leave me be to my own devices until I see fit to resume socialisation.

Hello, hello, hello, internetizens!

I know it's been x amount of time since I wrote but things have moved along quite nicely.

I've turned 28 mid last April, did some jobs, rested a bit (Wished I could rest a bit more) and now I have a job! YEAY TO NO LONGER BEING UNEMPLOYED!

Also, Aubergé, Meersy and my company is now open for freelance business of various types! Predominantly Events and Interior Design.

Now, random facts time. Today is International Towel Day! It's a shame I was having a day in though.

...

A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you — daft as a brush, but very very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitch hiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitch hiker might accidentally have "lost." What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.

Hence a phrase that has passed into hitchhiking slang, as in "Hey, you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is." (Sass: know, be aware of, meet, have sex with; hoopy: really together guy; frood: really amazingly together guy.)

—Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
