All Good Things Must Come to an End

...but since this blog isn't one of them, I'm just temporarily putting this thing in some sort of cryogenic suspended animation mode until such a time when life will actually let me do some writing again.

Meanwhile, you may follow my day to day adventures on Plurk, Multiply, Facebook, and from your mom.

Random junk off my trunk!: Pedestrain Crossing

ballsofsteel — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 18:00:00 +0000

Typo errors are quite common in non-English speaking cities like the one where I'm at. But not even big-ass signs like these are safe from trivial errors and my nitpicking.

Did the signage creator guys even think about double-checking the arrangement of the letters before plastering them on to the huge board in the KFC drive-thru? Here are a few things this sign brings to mind:

There's an invisible rail track for trains in KFC.
This is a lane for crossing trains.

Train drivers love Colonel Sander's eleven herbs and spices chicken and there's a separate drive-thru track for them.

You know what might be cooler than that? Actual trains on the street ordering food in drive-thrus. Yowza. Trains rule.

Mike Villar: Badassery Personified

ballsofsteel — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 22:08:00 +0000

The word "badass" is tossed around far too liberally in the blogosphere these days. Close your eyes for a second and think of the ballsiest bloggers who have made names online in the last couple of years. Well, there's the obnoxious Maddox, the mysterious cofibean, and the infamous Mike Villar. These guys have caused some stir in the blogging scene, made tons of people's blood boil in terrible wrath and made the general Internet public ROFL with their flagrant badassery. But if ever I'd choose one who I shall hold in high regard for all eternity for his motherfuckery, it will be no less than that goddamn Mike Villar!

I mean, what does Mikey have that these other dicks don't? The guts to piss off the general public while NOT HIDING BEHIND SOME STUPID PSEUDONYM! That's right, he blogs about how minute his weewee hose is, how stupid his jobs are, or how much money he spent on his former girlfriend #69, using his real name for all his friends, family members, and bosses to read! The only way he can be badassier is if he use the word "Fucking" as his middle name. Oh, wait a minute -- he already does!

If you were able to follow the AOF series down to its spin-offs, then you should know how much hate mails and death threats he had to make fun of all for the sake of your entertainment (and probably the chance to hook up with chicks who find his self-deprecating jokes and immaculate grammar^TM cute)! He's like the Jesus Christ of online humor.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!

So there it is. Without a doubt, I'm giving my vote for this year's Philippine Blog Award’s Bloggers’ Choice to The Rising Internet Superstar, The Man Blog Slave Driver, His Royal Doucheness -- Mike "Fucking" Villar.

These guys had absolutely nothing to do with my decision:

Lauren’s Vote For Mike Villar
Pau’s Vote For Mikey
Baddie’s I Believe In Mike Villar
Fritz’s My Vote Goes To Mike Villar
Euri’s Philippine Web Awards 2008
Helga Votes for Mike
Jepoy Votes for Mike
Madz for Mikey!
Liz’s vote
Ozy’s Why Mike Should Win
Marcus declares that he votes for Mike “Fucking” Villar
Noelle wants Mike to be a REAL Internet Star and get rid of “Rising”

And these guys can also make me wear panties over my head for a handsome amount of money:

Ten Things I should NOT do during Ramadan

ballsofsteel — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 00:00:00 +0000

So it's Ramadan. That very special occasion for our Islamic brothers who fast from dawn until sunset for an entire month as an act of self-purification. Since this is my first time to experience such an event (and a hardcore one -- much, much hardcore than the Ramadan in Manila), I thought it would be good to take some time out of my busy schedule to think about what I should NOT do during this season if I plan to, you know, keep my head on top of these shoulders.

1. Smoke through my eye socket.

2. Eat soft and juicy meat buns.

Mundane things that suck: People on YM who threaten to skin you alive if you dare disturb them

ballsofsteel — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 14:07:00 +0000

If you think about it, most of today's denizens (me included) are desk jockeys who prefer to keep the lines of communication open to friends even when they're in the office. And what better way to stay in touch online and in real-time than to sign in to your trusty Yahoo! Messenger so you're friends can buzz you anytime. Right?

So what's the deal with some people who sign in to YM, leave a very harsh status message (read: threat) to virtually kill you if you even try to buzz them, then let their friends know they are online by staying "visible" to everyone?

Random junk off my um, trunk!: Twitter

ballsofsteel — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 15:04:00 +0000

I was scouring my hard drive for some nice pictures for a new post when I stumbled upon this twitter convo thread screenshot (it was between me and that Cockmandu fella) . And to think it was in the same folder as nude women pictures. Good tiems!

Mundane things that suck: A Neighbor putting a password in what used to be your free wi-fi connection

ballsofsteel — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 14:07:00 +0000

I recently moved to a new apartment and the first thing I did once all my stuff were settled was to crack open my laptop, and basked in all the wireless signals my laptop could snort. Unfortunately, no thanks to this guy who wrote this crap, all of said wireless connections were password-protected. All, except one.

And that glorious unsecured wireless signal was called Afrain. Sweet, sweet Afrain.
