PINK, EUROM vs. RANDOM

PINK, EUROM vs. RANDOM

What is it with the colour pink?
Is it that is rhymes with blink?
Mothers say no,
But daughters are wanting more

Why should you even care?
The only time you see the pink
Is when your friends say no to pink

Are men without a womb
Allowed to mix and be a prune?

Did I loose the plot and braai a chop?


and the source of this silly 'poem'?
- my imagination when I pulled my original off the wall
I was going through an EMOtional blackness and didnt really care for much - guess that's why it is not a poem..

PINK

What is it with the colour pink?
Is it that it rhymes with kink?

Mothers say no to pink
But at the ripe age of four
Daughters are all wearing pink.

Why is it not manly for pink to wear men?
The only time guys see the shrink
Is when their friends say no to pink

Are men without a womb
Allowed to mix red and white?

Pink is not peach or even light-red
Pink is pink to the gender of choice.

I can and have written better poetry - I only gave up as I didnt have the time for writing poetry.....

ancillary

so i got bored of just the facebook staring at me, and decided to fool around and click, click, click..
Nothing was correct. it was all just fake-mocking-trash.

as i look down from this table i'm sitting apon, I scratch my neck and notice the empty globe boxes on the floor.they are fitted to the board that is on the stool where i usually sit - my feet are there, complete with uber long nails...

If you haven't noticed by now, i have three long nails on my right hand - I've been playing banjo and learning the finger style!!
I'll miss my nails when i get hold of finger picks - they are great for scraping plaque off my teeth, picking the stuff out my eyes and scratching my ears...and when i least expect it, I find my forefinger up my nose - aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

I start working FULL time from the 6th of April!!
Now i know it is not good to bring work into the home, but when one has to move mail, the best time to do it is at night when both servers dont have as much strain on themselves.
Lynne-uX or Line-uX, I work with Linux and have to think really hard when trouble shooting clients' problems on Windows machines. I try my best not to talk about what I do, because most people don't understand a word I say. Although, IF you HAVE to know, in a nutshell I do the following:
  • Take calls
    • help people not receiving their mails
    • explain that I cant help with sending mails
    • help/explain domain related things
    • Listen to people...
  • Answer tickets relating to
    • Email
    • FTP
    • Domains
  • Register/Renew/Transfer domains
  • Upload/download websites
  • Create/modify pg/mySQL databases
  • Move things from server A to server B, E or Y
  • Use Jabber to communicate with people in the offices
  • On breaks during the day, I
    • get up and do something else
    • play around on the computer
    • take/make personal calls
    • eat
    • do something on www.eastside.org.za
    • type emails
    • etc...
>> to the left of me is a small speaker with a dud dvd disk on top;
>> a lightstand with a harddrive platter hanging from it, instead of a light or two;
>> a LEAK speaker upon a small table, with two texecom boxes, an artist's pallete, wood, audio connectors, a stiffy and an odd cell phone;
>> an old D&T project - a photo-lab cupboard with a monitor box ontop plus another monitor of the box with a monitor inside and on the top of the box there are random bits of audio cable, an art book, pair of builder's gloves and a red duster;
>> then the wall..but between the two, on the floor there are books from my CTI days and a bunch of random stuff;
>> along the wall there is a dummy body in a box, a white table with electronic projects all over it two old speaker cabinets stacked up against the cupboard/shelves and they are full of lots of stuff including a mirrorball motor;
>> along the shelves and cupboards on the floor there is a box with a hat and some instructions for a sound to light kit that I built. next to this is a mirrorball box with an analogue lighting "console" and a multitude of tools and hardware ontop of it;
the door is open;
>> along the wall to my right is a music robot box that i built when music to light kits actually functioned according to the music and not to some strange variable, two computer skeletons stacked upon each other and an opened psu with a missing fan, a strobe light that looks more like a large old yellow torch, two boxes full of computer/sound stuff, an electronic keyboard with HTML and PHP books, some HD240 earphones and a cd on top of it with music on the stand;
>> in the corner to my right is another LEAK speaker upon a small table, with an old 14" LCD screen on top;
>> between the speaker and the keyboard, on the floor is my computer with none other than UBUNTU 8.04;
>> against the wall, after the corner is an old computer desk with boxes of media, a stack of CD players mounted upon a PSU, tools, a buch of old tapes and my warmth generator - the stereo 35W RMS valve amp;
>> on the floor in the middle of the room, there are lots of things, including a fan, empty boxes, a violin case, C++ books, tobacco (800g), power cables a stool with a light board andmy feet resting upon it, air, a chair and art supplies;
>> watch out for the odd tool on the floor next to the carpet by the doorway...

by the way, i did not mention everything!

DUE TO THE BUTT COMMAND, THIS LINE WILL BE THE LAST

I miss YOFTIG...

Something that I thought was impossible has now become reality.

Being so far from the people that I used to see everyday kinda gets to
me. Sure I have lots of people around me, but they are far from close
brothers. Memories of our brotherhood float around my head while I'm
busy working. People say please which is annoying after hearing no
please for a full year. If you want something other than tea or
choffee to drink, you bring your own or drink water from the water
dispenser in the office. Cups disappear to the kitchen, they dont wait
for you to do something. There's no amp - everyone has earphones on.
There is more freedom for pranks and there's no fear for impacting on
ministry. I dont miss the lack of entertainment or the hot and stuffy
offices, as there is a foos ball table and aircon. I got used to no
dress code and pets in the office. Now there is none of that!!

Ahh, there's more that I miss, but I'm still having as much fun and
they don't jump red lights.....

Here's to the greatest memories of life, FFIG!!!
