Celebrated christmas eve with a potluck dinner at my friends house. I brought red wine and a gift. We all brought gifts to exchange. It was really fun, until the cops came.

Apparently some neighbour complained that we were too noisy, so we turned the music down. The cops came again, this time because they heard cries of help from the house. They thought there was some mass rape thing going on ( some of my friends can be quite noisy ).

Well , a simple situation turned quite complicating because my friend got angry and raised his voice at the cops. Then another friend called 999 to complain about those cops. In the end, an aunt came over to settle things. The cops came in, convinced that no rape was going on ( seriously .. ). Me ?? I was just watching Big Fish on HBO.

Poor cops have to work on Christmas Eve and have to deal with these kind of things. Good to know that they’re watching the neighbourhood though.

Alcohol makes people really noisy.

Merry Christmas , Kwanza ,Winter Solstice and Harvest Festival everyone !!!!

I’ve always passed this church on my way to town. Always wondered how it looked like. I was there yesterday, for my uncle’s service. He looked very peaceful, I wish I would be as peaceful when I go. When I go I want to be cremated. But what kind of ceremony would they give for a free thinker ?

Had a bad day today. I won’t go into details but its just one of those days where nothing goes right. I thought I handled the day quite well thought, until I got the news that my uncle passed away.

You see, the day before yesterday, I had a choice of visiting him in the hospital. Me and my dad thought it wasn’t critical, so we didnt’. We were wrong.

My uncle had a stroke last year, and he wasn’t quite the same. He barely remembered his sister (my mom) let alone remember me. This was the only time I wished he mistakenly calls me Jackson as he always did. I always remembered him for buying KFC whenever me and my brother were at his house.

I felt quite bad that I didn’t visit him at the hospital. I don’t really know how to deal with death, especially of relatives. I’m going to the service tommorow.

What irks me is that my mom is the one who has to call everyone to inform about her brother’s passing. Can’t someone else pass the message ? Can’t they even call ?

Well , another uncle of mine ( from China ) visited recently. My mom said at least he got to see his brother one last time.

I’ll never skip visits again.

RAWWRRRRRRR!!!!!

Ever wondered who was the creator of the universe ? Want to know what Google thinks ? Well lets just Google it :

If you search with the quotes “creator of the universe” it’ll be the first link. If you typed without the quotes, it’ll be about the fifth link.

Guess what Google told me ?

As it turns out, the creator of the universe is none other than a Flying Spaghetti Monster. It is an invisible creature, that created the universe, starting with a mountain , trees and a midget. Here’s a picture:

Of course, this isn’t a real religion. It is a satirical parody religion created to protest a decision by the Kansas Education Board to require the teaching of Intelligent Design ( that is , things are made by a higher being ) as an alternative to biological evolution. It has become somewhat of an Internet Phenomenon.

Question is , why is it at the top of Google’s search list for “creator of the universe” ? Some of you may know how Google works , that they put links at the top by order of popularity. Popularity in this sense means how many pages are linked to that website with the phrase “creator of the universe”. You’d think that most people on the internets would mention some other God right ? Well, looks like they prefer the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Either that or the workers at Google secretly are Pastafarians ( people who worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster ).

Err … all hail the FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER !!!!
