What Race Was Jesus?
There were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Jewish:
1. He went into His Father's business.
2. He lived at home until he was 33.
3. He was sure his Mother was a virgin and his
Mother was sure He was God.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But then there were 3 good arguments that Jesus was Black:
1. He called everyone brother.
2. He liked Gospel.
3. He couldn't get a fair trial.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Italian:
1. He talked with His hands.
2. He had wine with His meals.
3. He used olive oil.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was a
Californian:
1. He never cut His hair.
2. He walked around barefoot all the time.
3. He started a new religion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was an
American Indian:
1. He was at peace with nature.
2. He ate a lot of fish.
3. He talked about the Great Spirit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Irish:
1. He never got married.
2. He was always telling stories.
3. He loved green pastures.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But the most compelling evidence of all - 3 proofs that Jesus was a
woman:
1. He fed a crowd at a moment\'s notice when there was no food.
2. He kept trying to get a message across to a bunch of men who just
didn't get it.
3. And even when He was dead, He had to get up because there was work
to do.
AMEN

Domain names
People spend a lot of time thinking up their children's names. It's just a pity they don't always think as hard about their domain names.
Firstly there is Who Represents?, a database for agencies to the rich and famous:

Halloween Joke
A cabbie picks up a nun. She gets into the cab, and notices that the veryhandsome cab driver won't stop staring at her. She asks him why he isstaring.
He replies: "I have a question to ask you, but I don't want to offend you"She answers, "My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am andhave been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear justabout everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that Iwould find offensive."
"Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me."
She responds, "Well, let's see what we can do about that. #1, you have to besingle and #2, you must be Catholic."
The cab driver is very excited and says, "Yes, I'm single and Catholic!"
"OK" the nun says. "Pull into the next alley." The nun fulfils the cabdriver's fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush. But when theyget back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.
"My dear child," said the nun, why are you crying?"
"Forgive me but I have sinned. I lied and I must confess, I'm married andI'm Jewish."
The nun says, "That's OK. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloweenparty."

Games of Summer 2005
Anyways, this summer there will be many things to do, places to go, relax, party, drink (Karl) etc., including playing games. Summer is usually not so hot for games with the exceptional Blizzard release, Max Payne or Doom3 but this summer seems so different. These are the games that I will be playing, and so should anyone who does:
World of Warcraft: the addict' personal favourite, I am going to reactivate my account once my exams are over. I am in EU so that means I will be playing on EU-Twilight's Hammer Alliance side, fader (Mike) from #3dfx recently switched there from the server Crashridge that was dominated by Spaniards.
Battlefield2 : Absolutely every person must buy this game and play it. Hook yourself up with XFIRE and play! Several people have been eagerly awaiting this game including me. When the first Battlefield 1942 came out I was leading a large clan of about 20 people in tournaments to victory, I was pretty good because I loved playing this game! Battlefield 2 is ideally the same thing with a new theme, modern combat.
Guild Wars: I don't have this yet, but it is on my to get list, get it too. Do not compare it to WoW or you will be hanged:
(02:24)Ciddy: IS GUILD WAR BETTER THAN WORLD OF WARCRAFT?
(02:27)Zenon_: . tempban Ciddy
(02:27)—›kick: (Ciddy) was kicked by (Ameriduh) (You have been banned for 60 seconds.)
I don't watch tv...
Check out this picture from last year, this Canadian contestant was smoking or what not.

Perpendicularexation
I have always looked with vexation upon my birthday, because my education absolutely always and constantly gets in the way of it. It IS supposed to be one day, but you'd like it to be one day that lets you slack off for the rest of the weekend and have some fun. A few years ago I've had exams on my birthday, now it isn't much different except for I have a few days breathing room.
Anyways, having woken up like 30 minutes ago I am still acting like an ape, really tired and yawny. Today is a very special day to me because one year ago I met my angel girl, Lena. It's been one hell of a ride, we don't live in the same countries yet and the Internet has been our focal point of communication with the ocassional trips to Toronto, Tunisia and London. All of that is changing as I plan to move out this summer, for the absolute best. I cannot wait!
Jobs, they suck. I've been casually looking for a part time job before college and didn't have any luck. Now I plan to be working full time after my exams. Seeing as how I am a party qualified accountant I hope my luck changes and I will be happy at least for a few months. Gotta go run errands and study now. Be sure to check out #3dfx on EFNET irc.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II, the Sith Lords
In KOTOR2 you are a Jedi Exile. The game drags on without revealing your true identity..
... bla bla bla. I didn't finish this article neither do I have the time. But I want to make ONE point.
Companies like BioWare should not outsource their games and let other companies ruin a sequel. The first KOTOR was AMAZING but I believe KOTOR2 was a rushed mess, it was great, definately not as good as the first one though. There could have been so much more in this sequel, yet the feeling I get from it is a greyish color just signifying a neutral position, this game is worse than its prequel but just average. Try it if you liked the first one.
I hope BioWare does release a decent sequel soon, KOTOR3 should use a new engine with a few more character emotions, I was sick of seeing the same emotion when a character you talk to twists their head to the right after every other line of speech.

Bureaucracy
Ok so I am sitting on this wonderful rainy morning here at home in London while trying to do a few things such as order a new Cellphone, look for a job, ask about driving licence inquiries etc., when I realize that the whole of the United Kingdom is built on this annoying system of politics.
I can't stand it. Write us a letter, call us and wait for a few hours in line ... we won't do a damn thing for you!
It really is true, no matter where you go it is always line ups, filling out forms, marketing scams. What is wrong with this world, I think we should just all be able to fight over what's right and if that means pushing the granny infront of the queue out of the way, then be it. I've had enough of wasting precious time to do just ONE little tiny peice of work.
I am waiting for my Credit Check to go through for my new Samsung D500 on Orange ... i've been told it takes time, but not when a whole day is wasted because of their laziness.
Now I am going to go make some tea and eat cookies and I hope that I receive that magic phone call.

The Necropsy of an Astral
So I was tipped by fade from #3dfx that Channel 4 was showing a programme where a group of scientists and a TV Presenter were dissecting a human body. With my intuition guiding me steady, I didn't hesitate to run to the living room and turn on the TV. I was stunned beyond imagination, almost. I am not a squeamish person, ever since seeing Predator at the age of 2 or something I am never sqeamish towards any sort of 'blood and guts' spectacle.
A quite apparantly german man was cutting open with a bunch of play knives, the lungs of a man, the heart of a man and they were teaching the audience about how the body works. This is, in several years one of the most interesting television programmes that I dared to watch on the TV, since I really rarely go near it. I immediately though how well planned out it all was and thought I'd write it down here. Not like I write down crap here that often anyways, once in a while if you make an extraordinary self-finding discovery you want to make note of it somewhere.
SO, I saw the programme and thought "hey good job people, finally something interesting and worth watching in terms of education!" .. "and I really like how it is all set up, with the pictures of the 17th century operating tables where a group of doctors cut open some no good beggar!". The show is called Anatomy for Beginners or something creative like that.
Oh, I also managed to get the hang of eBay! On the weekend I had a little shopping spree, I bought a palm M500 PDA to keep myself organized for just 30 pounds and some other various junk that should arrive here shortly. Soon I think I'll be able to sell stuff I don't really need anymore :)
Uhh yeah, so back to more Curb Your Enthusiasm. I love this show only for reasons I do not comprehend. I just don't get it, Larry keeps putting himself in the most disastrous and god-forsaken situations and I find myself whining to the LCD screen "YOU FUCKING IDIOT! JUST APOLOGIZE AND MOVE ALONG!! GOD!! " But really, it's what a friend called 'Situation Comedy' and dear god the situations are unpleasant to watch sometimes ... not like I am one of those sensitive people in the audience that has the bag of popcorn flying everywhere as I am shouting at the screen with irrelevant comments and remarks.
I am looking for a job, I've been semi-busy with that and it looks like I am waiting for something but I'm not sure why.... soon I will find the right part-time accounting related job.
They say patience is a virtue, and I repeat the phrase too much only because it is so true. I have the patience for nearly everything in the world, most of all my girlfriend but not that rotten laptop of hers that CONSTANTLY has one problem, another problem then a tenth problem with one thing after another, I just can't be bothered with it, you know what I say, get a new one we wanted to play games together anyways to pass the long-distance time
Back to doing ...work... lazy..work.

I'm back
...never really went anywhere!
Well, with the [good] exploits of the past month well behind me, I have adjourned back to London, UK for an entirely new and rather difficult lifestyle. My trip to Toronto went very well, time was of the essence to me and of course, it flew by me faster than a speeding red-neck in a Jeep.
Arriving in London after an accelerated-by-the-tailwind flight AC862 from Toronto on Saturday morning left me in a state of almost permanent jet-lag. I am one of those people that like to go to sleep very late and wake up late consecutively, for no apparent reason, even if I know that when I could go to sleep at an earlier time, waking up earlier it would give me the same amount of time in the day only, I would not get as tired sitting at the computer!
I have engaged a part-time job hunt, proving to be almost completely illustrious. It's difficult to find a job you want here in London, you just have to ... know people :)
I have also bought a new USB headset for use with the greatest program ever, called Skype ( www.skype.com ). Plantronics DSP100, I'll post my opinions later. And with that purchase I bought the THX-certified Logitech Z2300 speakers, something I've been dreaming of for many years now, I'll post pics as soon as I can unpack it ... my camera seemed to have run out of battery life while I wasn't using it. Curious.
