I used to be so excited when it comes to birthday (cakes, good food, party, friends, and lots of gifts)... but am not that fond of birthdays nowadays :no: I suppose when your "number" is getting higher -- you are not please to be reminded that the ‘number’ has just increased by 1.

Anyway, today is my birthday and I will take this very day as a day to introspect and a day to try and think of all the positive things I've accomplished this year… still thinking. Still thinking. I know it is not good to constantly focus on the negatives, so today I want to be good to myself!

Well, no cake so far. Gifts? T-shirt, a tenner, a book, and some chocs – bang goes the diet. My dad called at 6pm to say happy birthday... well technically he said ‘hello birthday boy what have you been up to?’ then said my card was there if I want to pick it up. My eldest daughter came around at 5 with her and my youngest daughters’ card and a remote control helicopter :??:. My youngest called when she finished work and said was too knackered to see me but would visit me on Tuesday or Friday, :**:


 
 

More Teenage Morons

by kaimi0achava @ 2008-04-23 - 01:12:27

Has anyone has heard about the six Florida teenagers who lured a 16-year-old girl to a home, where they beat her unconscious, waited for her to regain consciousness, then beat her again for thirty minutes?
They taped it all with the intention of putting it on YouTube.
On the tape it shows the 4 teenage GIRLS, while beating up the girl, demanding to know why she doesn’t like them!!
Err, could this be because they are beating her up?

The girl who was attacked, Victoria Lindsay, lost partial hearing in her left ear and partial sight in her left eye as a result of the attack. Her father said when he first saw her following the attack, he didn’t even recognize her.
The teens arrested and charged in the attack are Cara Murphy, 16; Britney Mayes, 17; Kayla Hassell, 15; Zachary Ashley, 17; Brittini Hardcastle, 17; Mercades Nichols, 17; April Cooper, 14; and Stephen Schumaker, 18. The two boys allegedly stood as lookouts.
The girls showed absolutely no remorse whatsoever when arrested; instead, they were laughing and joking. One was worried about getting out of jail in time for cheerleading practice, and another was worried about a planned trip to the beach. None of them worried about the girl they had attacked, and all of them assumed that nothing would really be done to them.
Imagine their surprise when a judge doubled their bail and ordered them tried as adults on charges of kidnapping (which carries a potential life sentence), battery, and witness tampering (for threatening to attack her again if she reported the crime). Their parents are complaining that they cannot afford the bail.

If they were responsible parents, they wouldn’t bail them out. These girls need, more than anything, a taste of reality.

The parents of the girls are blaming their ‘precious’ daughters behaviour on YouTube, Myspace and, wait for this, the victim! They claim the victim brought it upon herself, because she made some comments on Myspace. UNBELIEVABLE!

These girls did what they did because they wanted to do it, and because they thought they wouldn’t get into serious trouble for it. Why do we always try to blame people’s bad behaviour (understatement) on anything except the perpetrators of these atrocities?

Playing Outside

by kaimi0achava @ 2008-04-20 - 03:15:13

The Government are attempting to encourage parents to allow their young children to play outside without supervision. They argue that a child playing outside increases their social skills and increases their ability to deal with tricky situations. They usually back this up with talk about when they were children and how they stayed out all day from the age of 2 and no harm ever came to them.

We all agree on the benefits of children playing outside but he times they are talking about is usually pre decimalisation. Society and our way of life have changed dramatically since then.

*Question; Why is it illegal to leave a child under 14 in their home unsupervised but is legal to allow a child under 14 to be unsupervised on the streets?

An example of modern times.

I live in a fairly quiet street; the local school is within spitting distance reached via public footpath through the school playing fields.

2 young boys aged 9 and 11 who live in this street wanted to play on their new bikes. Their father said they could ‘play outside’ but only as far as the playing fields.

Within 10 minutes the eldest son rang his father from his mobile in an obvious state of distress saying a group of teenagers had attacked them, throwing sticks at them and threw their bikes into the muddy stream.

He immediately went to them, less than 30 seconds it took. There were about 9 lads and 1 girl aged about 15 standing slightly away from the stream where his 2 lads were pushing their bikes up the river bank towards the path. The group were quiet although one of them said ‘top of the morning to you sir’. Fuck off wanker’ was his reply.

The father wanted to go over the group to ‘remonstrate’ with them but his first concerns were for his sons, they were upset enough without further violence.

Pushing the muddy bikes back home, the youngest asked why they had done that, ‘they said lets have some fun’, replied the eldest, ‘I hate teenagers and I will never be like that when I am one’. He also admitted embarrassedly that he cried when they threw the bike in.

That was the start of the Easter holidays. The boys did not want to go out after that.

Naomi ranting, spitting, Cambell

by kaimi0achava @ 2008-04-03 - 23:13:11

Supermodel Naomi Campbell has been arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer at Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 5 after an argument over her baggage. She is alleged to have spat at the officer over a dispute with airline staff over her luggage. Apparently she thinks that the rules do not apply to her and (apparently) tried to take too many bags with her into the cabin.

This is no the first time that this woman has caused problems at Heathrow or other airports for that matter.

In September she was seen swearing at airline staff in front of dozens of passengers after being told she could not board her flight to New York because she arrived just 11 minutes before take-off.

She also lost her temper in Bogota airport in Columbia in 2005 after bags containing her designer dresses and shoes were mistakenly sent to Houston (Texas). She had just flown in from New York and threatened to get on the next flight out of the country if the problem was not sorted out. Ooh such a threat, they must have been devastated she wanted to leave!

She is very tall, skinny, walks up and down a plank wearing clothes normal people would not be seen dead in, for which she gets paid vast amounts of money. Most women would love would to be able to do that, hey, for that much money I would wear a dress and walk up and down!:oops:

Because of this ‘important’ job, she thinks she is better than the hoi pol•loi thus rules for her do not apply and can be rude and violent. After all what are we going to? Just put her on the front pages and tut. Excuse me while I throw up!>:-(

April 4, 1968 — Martin Luther King assassinated

by kaimi0achava @ 2008-04-03 - 21:56:38


The FBI considered King "the most dangerous Negro leader in the country,” so much so that Then-U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy authorized the wiretapping of King's home and offices in a campaign to ferret out communists. The secret recording campaign failed to prove that King was a communist, but it did provide evidence of the civil rights leader's extramarital affairs.

William C. Sullivan, head of domestic intelligence under Hoover, told a congressional committee that King was subjected to the same tactics used against Soviet agents and, "No holds were barred."

His so called assassin, Ray, was befriended by a mysterious man named Raoul before the murder and, perhaps most strange of all, two of the few black police officers and fire-fighters in Memphis were reassigned from their usual duties near the Lorraine Hotel on the day King was shot there.

Even if you except Ray did pull off an Illinois bank robbery in the months before the murder, his movements after the assassination of getting to Canada, then to England, (where he was caught and extradited) seem beyond what one would expect of a small-time criminal.

Ray at first confessed, then attempted to withdraw the confession and denied firing the murder shot to the end. His denials were later accepted by King's heirs and even former aides like Andrew Young.

Much of this is circumstantial.

Yet just as the twin assassinations of King and RFK marked 1968, five years earlier the Birmingham church bombing, resulting in the deaths of four little girls was followed two months later by the John F. Kennedy assassination.

"If they'll kill a president, I won't live to be 40," King predicted all too accurately.

Four decades after the assignation of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr, so many still ask the question: What if he had lived?

Were King alive today, the preacher in him would have continued speaking out against injustice, poverty, hunger, against violence, against war.

Were King alive today he would likely not have run for president. And probably would have endured more harassment from J. Edgar Hoover.

In the months before his death, King was speaking out against the growing U.S. involvement in Vietnam and was working with other civil rights leaders on a Poor People's Campaign, with a march on Washington scheduled for that May. He was in Memphis that spring day to support striking sanitation workers

Were King alive today, he would most certainly, in my opinion, be speaking out against the Iraq War.

"God didn't call America to engage in a senseless, unjust war," King said of the fighting in Vietnam "And we are criminals in that war. We've committed more war crimes almost than any nation in the world, and I'm going to continue to say it."

Were King alive today would the FBI still considered King "the most dangerous Negro leader in the country,"

How far did they go to stop him?

Manners

by kaimi0achava @ 2008-04-03 - 20:55:15

I saw this Email on a school site. I hope they do not mind me using it. It is from an American about manners in London. In the past Britain has always been known for good manners and politeness. It is a shame that we are so ANGRY and rude today.

"I had the great pleasure of recently visiting your country and am dumbfounded by a curious custom I noticed while there. I always said 'please', 'thank you' and I waited my turn. I tried to be very careful when browsing in shops. However, I found that service staff would be quite blunt and I got yelled at on one occasion for looking in a restricted area that was not posted as restricted. This bluntess was quite common. While in England, I was ignored when asking a question, insulted, waws cut in front of while in queues, and otherwise treated in a manner that seemed quite hurtful for me. This is a vast difference than the Southwest US where I am from. People where I am from are very unlikely to yell at a customer even if s/he makes a mistake. Service 'with a smile', even when the customer is wrong, is the norm. "

"I think my worst experiences were in Camden and in the Train Stations. "

New Union Flag

by kaimi0achava @ 2008-04-03 - 01:09:58

I was reading up on how the Union flag of Britain was formed (I am such a trainspotter) and never realised that Wales is not represented on the flag! This is apparently because when the first Union Flag was created in 1606, Wales was already united with England from the 13th century.

This meant that Wales a Principality instead of a Kingdom and as such could not be included. In 1536, under Henry VIII, the Act of Union joined England and Wales officially.

However, Wales has never been conquered not by the Romans and certainly not the English or anyone. Partial invasion took place but possession was never completed because of the geography and terrain, this allowed the native population an ideal base to operate a very effective resistance. Thus there has always been a ’Free Wales’ in some part. A good reference for this is ’Land of my Fathers’ by Gwynfor Evans.

Wales being a principality may be have been acceptable in the 13th century but surely today Wales is accepted as a country within Britain. As such I think it is about time Wales was added to the Union Flag.
What do you think of the following NEW Union flag?

April fools gags

by kaimi0achava @ 2008-04-03 - 00:15:54

April Fools day gags. So many are below par but I managed to find a few that were amusing.

Here we go, in no particular order;

1. Tattoo Your Toddler is "the world's first tattoo studio designed specifically for kids." A complete website was created just for yesterday.

baby tatoo 2007-04-02_155443

2. This was an email received informing us that the government - along with greenpeace - have found a way to cut carbon emissions equivalent to 153,000 aeroplanes. All you do is if everybody holds their breath for 20 seconds beginning at 11am, then less Co2 will be breathed out. I like this because it had a certain logic to it.

3. Google Book Search now supports reproducing the smell of scratch-and-sniff based books. “Using special equipment and tricky JavaScript, we’re now able to capture some of the smells during the scanning process and then embed them in your web browser when you preview these titles in Google Book Search,” their blog says, pointing to several examples.

4. The German Google Watch Blog announced they’ll be shutting down to launch a competitor to Google Street View for Germany. Image samples from Berlin and other locations are provided in the post. Called CityMap, the service has a nice feature of overlaying people’s faces with smileys to better protect their privacy.

5. WikiAnswers was answering a series of ridiculous questions today, like "Why Did The Chicken Cross the Road?

6. If not the best April Fool’s Gag this must have had the most work put into it: IGN.com with the Legend of Zelda Movie Trailer. I would pay to see the film.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI5wGvIbB1I

7. Last but not least. If this is not an April Fools gag then it should be. It must win an award for the most stupid at least.

A very British dinner party.

by kaimi0achava @ 2008-03-31 - 00:28:57

Sitting around chatting over coffee and the usual ‘lists’ topic came up. This time it was the ‘name 6 people you would invite for a dinner party’ list. Although an old list topic it was one that I had not done before. I thought for a good 5 minutes and could not think of 6 people. The only person I could think of was TPT. I was assuming that the guests must still be alive.

I will answer why TPT first, the anti nobility brigade of you should not scoff at my choice on the grounds their upbringing, education or amount of wealth , (snobbishness works both ways). I find her funny and entertaining and believe that she would be a definite asset at a dinner party. But who else could I invite?

MJ was surprised at my lack of imagination and for not including politicians or any female actress that I found attractive e.g. Salma Hayek, Kirsty Alley, Susan Sarandon, Jerry Ryan, Emman Thompson, Cote de Pablo or male actors I liked, for instance Clint Eastwood, Harrison Ford, Richard Dean Anderson, Tommy Lee Jones, Nicholas Cage, John Travolta, Sidney Poitier

Why not the above? Politicians are a species I do not like. With actors it is the characters they play I like and would want to invite, not the actors who play them. Have you listened to any interviews with famous actors? So many are wooden and cannot talk without a script in front of them. If you were to include those no longer with us then yes, I would include the likes of Hepburn, Cary Grant, Monroe, McQueen and the ilk. That fact speaks volumes to me; they had substance and a quality that appears lacking in today’s current crop of stars. Perhaps it is because fame today can be achieved quickly and can also be short lived as those that shot them to fame become bored very easily, forever looking for someone different. Today fame is about fashion, often called the ‘purple cow’.

After 15 minutes reflection my brain kicked in and suddenly I have too many. The next 5 being; Dawn French and Lenny Henry, Victoria Pendleton. As we had 3 women and 1 guy I thought I had better go with another 2 guys so I opted for Tufnell and Russell Brand although I wanted to include J Ross and Cathy Burke. Can’t I have 8? ‘NO’ I was told, choose! I will stick with my first 6 and keep Jonathan and Cathy in reserve. But then again, what about Rowan Atkinson and... must stop adding more!

It appears to be a very British dinner party I think you would agree.

Ear caught in the boot

by kaimi0achava @ 2008-03-31 - 00:15:01

When at a friends flat her sister called, she has just shut her ear in the boot of the car. :??:They had to open the boot to get her ear unstuck. How on earth? 88|She has small ears too. For the next few minutes we are all miming shutting the boot and moving our heads in such a way as to get your ear caught. It must have been painful, but how did she get her ear caught in the boot? Sorry Melinda, you might be in agony, but that is nothing compared to the agony of mirth we are all feeling now because we are all rolling about laughing. We must be a bunch of sadistic people, laughing at others unfortunate and very painful mishaps. :))

What is in a name

by kaimi0achava @ 2008-03-30 - 23:35:49

In reply to the question Melinda asked as to who is or where does the name Kaimi Achava come from.

The meaning is not 'mind blowing', devious or remotely interesting.

When starting this blog I had written down a few ideas for a name. A close friend picked up the paper and asked what it all meant. I explained what I was doing and that Kaimi was a Hawaiian name which means ‘the seeker’ and Achava was a Hebrew name meaning ‘friendship’.

Her face took on that pained expression one gets when puzzled over something one does not understand. After what seemed like decades of silence, she shook her head and looked at me as if I had just stepped off a spaceship and said ‘you know, you can be really weird at times’.:crazy:

‘Give me the child until 7 and I will show you the man’, attributed to Ignatius Loyola.

by kaimi0achava @ 2008-03-23 - 14:24:45

My secondary school was in Reading, a town I have not revisited since I attended there. The friends I made probably scattered throughout the world, promises of keeping in touch never kept and long forgotten.

Perhaps it’s the passing of time (I am loathed to say when you get older) thoughts on my childhood and youth occur more frequent. Did Paul become a chef? Did Michael become the scientist he wanted? Did Sean manage to stay out of prison? Did Laurie Sanchez make the big time in football? With the World Wide Web we now have more tools at our disposal to find our long lost friends and answers to our questions.

Do we want know? Are we prepared to be confronted with and adult version of someone we used to consider our friend and how would we appear to them? Are we so different from those youths or has life changed us in a way we are not even aware?

A year ago I made contact through emails to a once close friend from the past. Paul Evans had become the chef he wanted and runs his own hotel in Lancashire. After the initial what happened in your life since school I received a link to his hotel web page and a ‘well it was nice catching up with you, hope all goes well for you in the future’. A crushing brush off.

It was then with a certain trepidation that I agreed to meet 2 of my former friends in my old school town of Reading. Would they recognise the once lean and fit youth who always had shoulder length hair? What would we talk about and most importantly, would they be disappointed in what they found?

The venue was a white pub on a corner directly opposite the Station. I recognised Flavio (just) who was hovering outside. His jet black curly hair was now grey, a few lines on his face but other than that was the same. We entered the pub together looking for Dave, Flavio found him first. I did not recognise him at all. This Dave was taller and larger than the Dave I remembered of old.

Hands shaken, history told yet still we talked and talked. The years that had passed since we last met did not matter. We talked about what we had done and what had happened to us as if it was the first day back at school form the holiday break. The boys in my memories became the men I saw in front of me now.

Hours later we went our separate ways on handshakes and promises of keeping in touch. Unlike the promise made all those years ago, this one will be kept.

Driving back thinking of my friends, the phrase ‘Give me the child until 7 and I will show you the man’, attributed to Ignatius Loyola came to mind. Were these men the same ‘boys’ I knew? The answer is yes, they are. Life has changed them yet their character has remained the same but without the childish traits and with a mellowness gained with age. Thinking about Paul, even though he was a very close friend he always had a tendency to single mindedness. Did not go out of his way for others why would I think he would be different with age?

Why Women love Pirates.

by kaimi0achava @ 2008-03-15 - 21:08:03

You know the type -- the swaggering, cocky, macho jerk who treats women like they're replaceable, while they're waiting in line to climb into his bed. Men hate these guys, yet women love them.

Ask any single woman on the street what she's looking for in a man and she'll tell you that she wants a nice guy with a sense of humor who will treat her well. But then she'll turn around and fall all over herself trying to get to a Bad Boy who will use and abuse her.what's going on here?Granted, what women say and what they actually do are generally miles apart, but even the usual female self-deceit doesn't seem to cover this one. So let's look first at some of the traits of the typical Bad Boy and see what we can learn from him.

The typical Bad Boy:

is cocky, arrogant
always puts himself first
is inattentive to a woman's needs
does what he wants when he wants to do it, regardless of what anyone else thinks
acts like a loose cannon
struts his masculine sexuality
isn't even remotely a "nice" guy
treats women badly
often uses women for sex

All negative character traits, to say the least. Yet women flock to these creeps in droves. Why? No sane woman would openly choose to be abused, so there must be some other factors operational here. To find the answer, we must examine the positive side of the Bad Boy traits to see what women are really attracted to.

A Bad Boy exudes untamed masculinity, independence and confidence. To women, these traits -- especially confidence -- are an aphrodisiac. The problem is, in the hands of the Bad Boy, confidence becomes selfish arrogance. But women are responding to guys like this on a purely elemental, emotional level.

Just as men are turned on by a woman's femininity, so too do women respond to overt male masculinity -- and the Bad Boy has it in buckets. What's going on here is that she's having a gut reaction to his confidence and male strength, and is blind to anything else.

But after years of research, I have found the one true reason why women love the bad Boys....
Yes folks, it's the tights.

The £7-per-hour jobs locals don't want

by kaimi0achava @ 2008-03-11 - 15:29:20

The £7-per-hour jobs locals don't want

High wages have drawn scores of Eastern Europeans to at least one corner of England. But not everyone welcomes this new workforce even if unemployed locals themselves refuse to do the same jobs.
Half a dozen workers trudge behind a tractor bending down to pick and load the Giant squash. And the only person in the field who's British is the bloke driving the tractor. The rest are all from Eastern Europe.
The crew of Latvians, Lithuanians and a Pole includes a former nurse who's earning four times what she was making in the hospital back home. It's monotonous, physical work with 60-hour weeks, but no-one's complaining - or taking a tea break.

And the local unemployed signing on?

When questioned said;

"No mate I'd prefer to sign-on than do that."

"I don't want to work in like no cornfield."

"I don't want to work with a load of foreigners."

Another lad is picking up his last benefits cheque. He's just got a job after 12 months of searching. "I think because of all the foreigners" he says. "I know people don't like it, but I've never had trouble getting a job before. I've been going for jobs and they've got over 200 people applying for them."

divorce-736573

To have an affair you must have a good memory. All those lies you tell have to be memorised by heart. On the whole, men are not very good at this whereas most women tend to remember the smallest detail told to them.

In this case events caught him out. How must the wife been feeling? At first elation that her husband was alive and then despair at the reason why he was.

How must he have been feeling? Despair and guilt over how stupid he was in having an affair but relief because it saved his life.

Tricky one.

101 things about me

by kaimi0achava @ 2008-03-06 - 03:42:37

I was bored today, not much activity on the blog scene, Lola and I were so bored we ended up doing silly things like 'what animal are you'. So, here are 101 things, don't ask me why the extra 1, there just is. I have save a couple for friends only though.

57 Believe in the idea of communism...
58 Stayed on a Kibbutz, loved the people and the commune way of life. I could definitely move there.
59 Do not understand anyone who is racially prejudiced.
60 Although I am prejudiced against violent people and bigots.
61 I believe a woman can say no at anytime and expect it to be respected (I don’t care if he has got his trousers around his ankles and is sporting an erection).
62 Guys who abuse women or children should be... cannot think any punishment that is suitable enough, at the minimum they should be sterilised.

78 I can’t bare the thought of this life being the end. Life continuing without you, eventually all those who know you go and you might as well not existed. If that’s the case why wait?
79 I believe in love, it is not just hormones, that is lust and the two are different,
80 I don’t think there is ‘that one special person’ out there for us.
81 You can love more than 1 person.
82 You can’t explain why you fall in love with someone, her laugh, her crooked smile she probably hates, it’s not because she fits the media’s standard of what constitutes beautiful.
