Theres
one thing my diary has none of, and that's a
general theme/style.
Some entries are in formal, perfect (as they can be, at least) English, while others are as if i spoke
singlish, gibberish and 1337 all blended together like some camouflaged marine in a blender, or fruits in a jungle background (hmm... was it the other way around?).
Some entries are absolutely
crude, distasteful and will only serve to hastily scare away all potential commentors (please comment! I crave attention and recognition, hence the occasionally outrageous articles).
Others are on philosophy, poetry and all things
sophisticated. Sigh. I need some form of coherence, some underlying wirework within this whole blog. Sigh. I need to stop sighing, it apparently reduces your life span.
Anyway, here's a small titbit about the blog. There are small ever-changing nuances within the confines of the page. If you happen to chance upon one, post and I'll give you the reward of satisfaction, a very coveted prize indeed. Back to the main topic:
ManlinessMany issues have been confusing me much about the state of manliness these few days. Volleyball? Peeing from the bottom leg of one side of your bermudas as opposed to the zip or from the top? Singing falsetto? Which are the very undesirable girly-wurly cases and which are the absolute "
rather mannish" peeves?
Personally, volleyball = modo gay. Its a sport after all; Its fun; All guys who play it in TV advertisements and Baywatch (euugh) have tanned, buff bods. However, it's also a female-dominated activity (more eye-candy, huh?); very embarrassing when you say you're in volleyball main team; has very minimal exercise compared to soccer, etc. Sigh. The conflictions within this case gives it a modo gay rating. 'modo' being short for 'moderately', ICUDK. 'FYI' being short for 'for your information', ICUDK. 'ICUDK' being short for 'in case you didn't know'.
Peeing from the corner of your pants at urinals, now that's sick. Absolutely. No debate here. I mean, why are we degenerating into gross dogs by urinating this way? There is no recompense for people who claim its to prevent the spray into your pants. I'd rather have that any day, than to go and act like a kindergartner. This one gets a mondo gay rating.
Falsetto Singing is very rocking. I was a former soprano before puberty knocked over the vase of my voice and broke it to pieces. Very very gay if someone next to you does it though. What self-respecting man would go and devolve into a female? (heh jk). However, lots of money is involved in super 'settos, currently dominating the airwaves. Stars like the Darkness, JT, MJ, Usher are following the trend of falsetto screeching, and are laughing their girly asses to the bank. I sing very high - falsetto at church occasionally, preferring it to the monotone droning of the people around me. I need distinction, I need outstanding-ness. Was commended by some small kid for operato-ing 'I Simply Live for You' earlier. Still dodn't know how to take that comment O.o
Anyway, I do number 1 and 3 of those things, so i guess im an average of modo-gay. Thankfully not mondo-gay siah... Only one 'n' away.
