I was the winner of a contest at work, my prize was a dvd of "Alice in Wonderland" I've never seen the new one yet.
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
And another one gone and another one gone another one BITES THE DUST !! Portugal go home,Spain rocks again ;D

I had mind blowing sex last night
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
^^^ f-ck you!
I'm pretty pumped for my date tomorrow night. This chick is SUCH a babe, it will be a massive coup if I can score her. My best mate (who I met her through) reckons he's had at least 200 orgasms over her. He is gunning for me as well.
Is it burnin'? Well, f-ck, now you're learnin'.
Some of you will probably think "Pfft, big deal, lilwaaaaaaang" but I've mastered the art of selective hearing.
I've always wondered exactly how in the hell to 'ignore' something. When I was little, I thought that meant to conceal the embarrasment/pain/anger, because it seemed impossible to pretend not to hear something or to force oneself not to hear. I've learned that it's easier to recognize insults as power grabs, though. If you see an insult as reaching for power over your feelings, to get you to feel a certain way or do something, or to act on your emotions, and you can recognize this on the spot, it will make you chuckle. It's cute; a helpless person resorting to offensive verbal behavior.
People are always saying nasty things to each other, always hurling insults about like a bunch of turd-slinging monkeys, and they think everything deserves their criticism.
It seems like the stupidest, strangest, most illogical response, but the best thing to do, really, is be really nice, and the less said the better. And if you respond with a nice happy smile on your face, you'll leave them with nothing else to say (Even though you'll probably want to leave them at the bottom of a sewer or something)
Eventually they see that their efforts are futile and give up. Sometimes, if you up with it long enough, they will eventually start being nice to you! I know, I know, it seems like a kindergarten lesson, but I've always thought it was better to come up with snazzy comebacks, but what a waste of time that is. And how far in life do comebacks get anyone? Not much further than insults, I'd say.
Edit: Never mind.
I enjoyed hard pretzels dipped in cream cheese. It's delicious! Try it.

Occasionally I have to deal with some very nasty people, but that doesn't happen often. It's the criticisms that I have to deal with that really drive me insane - about my long hair, about my habits and lifestyle, etc.
More power to ya. I don't think recognition of ones own behaviors or reactions to others is ever a bad thing.

Yeah, it's kind of like chess, and ignoring someone's insults is like taking a bishop or a queen after a stupid move.
I know, sorry for the nerdy reference.
