Two

Correct me if I'm wrong but 99% of you would have asked yourself, "Who is this man?"...

You see, I wanted to liven up my spirits for the festive season. Decided to post a nice CNY image to add some colour to my blog and so I did a search on Yahoo Images for '2006 Chinese New Year'. Results? 2 images and only 2. One, a sketched doggie which irritatingly I can't seem to load the picture of (arrrghhh! I hate my office PC!) and 2, I present to you Mr. Wilhem Schmid.

Mr. Schmid is based at Erfurt University in Eastern Germany, teaches philosophy, and is also a guest lecturer at the University of Tiflis in Georgia. He has published several articles on life´s challenges and Man´s quest for personal happiness.

Sigh, personal happiness...how appropriate...need I be reminded?! Thank you very much.

Someone told me to do whatever I wanted to do with my life. "It's yours...", she said.

My response? Yeah, RIGHT. The day...

She added, "It's simple. You make your bed and you sleep on it".

Sigh, how true. Hit me right in the face. The 2 'C's. We make our choice and we live with the consequences. Choice & Consequences.

Dickinson wrote that hope is a thing with feathers. As the reign of the Chicken ends, here's to a hopeless doggie year ahead. 2 reasons. One, dogs have no feathers and 2, it is a bad year for Monkeys AGAIN!?! as predicted by many. How unfair! @#^&*(*$% Darn it. Bollocks. Crap. Whatever! I know I know, both are not exactly practical reasons but it's my party and I'll cry if I want to. *blek*

Anyway, have a Happy Doggie New Year people. Cherish the holidays. Rejoice in the varieties of celebration we have in our country that gives us the chance to be free from work.

Cheers. Eat, drink and be merry. *woof woof*

P/S As you can see, my attempts finally paid off.
