Words from MySpace - Oh James!

Bond: Moneypenny, what gives?
Moneypenny: Me, given an ounce of encouragement! You never take me to dinner looking like this James. You never take me to dinner period.
Bond: I would you know, only M would have me court-marshalled for "illegal use of government property".
Moneypenny: Flattery will get you nowhere, but don't stop trying!

Words from MySpace - Going to the bathroom in style

A clean public toilets been said to bring more customers. I even heard about one place who renovated their female bathrooms in order to get more female visitors - and if the females come then the boys will too.

Anyway I will now present my list of toilets worth visiting in Stockholm.

1. The Kho Phangan toilet:
Very innovative with glow-in-the-dark-stuff and/or mosaic between the rooms made out of dark beer bottles.
2. The Thai Lemongrass toilet:
Where it's pink (chabby chic) and it smells really fresh and nice.
3. The Judit & Bertil toilet:
Like your toilet away from home, you can pick up a magazine on your way in, read comics on the wall and freshen up afterwards with creams and other things at your disposal.
4. The Tegnérs Gömställe toilet:
It's weird with it's old-school style, like a dry toilet somewhere on the country side, but still it's not.

Words from MySpace - Ding-ding!

We talked about idealism, confinement, conformity, social structure and power. Living according to your beleifs or surrendering to the sometimes harsh reality.

It's interesting - as you get to know people you learn new things about yourself. Just as that poem (see bellow).
I sometimes defend my actions - when I "bend" the rules by; at least I know that I'm violating them. Most of the time I know the right way to act, but sometimes I choose to act in an other way. Just to stir the pot, amuse myself or to acknowledge the rule at hand (because I find it stupid). Doesn't mean I'm really right or wrong. As a friend says - Always remeber that there are all kinds. (which is one of the insightful things ever to come out of his mouth.)

In sociology there's a theory about systems (social) as school, work etc. That the first thing people do when the find themselfs part of such - they learn all what's right and allowed, second, they learn how to bend the rules.

I think you are drawn to those people who in some ways share traits in yourself that you like, just as you can't stand people who obtain your bad ways. (aren't they just obnocious?)

And that's John Donne was right on target, however a bit cheasy when he wrote:

No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manner of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.

That's why things like Britney makes me feel embarrassed too.

Words from MySpace - he caterpillar does all the work but the butterfly gets all the publicity

"How does one become a butterfly?" she asked.

"You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar."
