two of a kind
m night shymalan has an interesting take on people. in unbreakable he puts forth a theory that for every individual on this earth, there is an exact opposite. so for every evil black guy out there, there is an honest to god white man to keep the balance. and everyone should make a concerted effort to meet this personality if only to get enlightened on how the other side works...
the concept is quite intriguing, it gives a completely new twist to the tried and tested "opposites attract".
like, i always wonder, are all people in a relationship really at diametrically opposite ends of the spectrum? i for one don't think so. i think two people who come together are arguably more alike at the core than they would like to believe. and i'm referring to relationships that make it here.
which is why one is often caught wondering "what do those two see in each other?" see being the operative word, they are actually seeing things you and i can't and never will see. that's why some of the unlikeliest couples make it while the ones you thought were "made for each other" don't!

worldly wise
ok...so now mans world has decided that there are just too many single women doing the rounds of clubs and bars looking for men who come in presentable packages. and they have stepped in with a TV show that will tell men that shoes, watches,and fingernails are what will find them a companion for life. so naturally, business in parlours, watch outlets, and shoe shops, is booming. and why not?
which brings to mind a thought... what women look for in men is 2 accessories, and one body part--well trimmed and packaged. so what do men look for in women? the reverse? 2 body parts and one accessory? he he. anyone up for "woman's world?"

flick pick
movies i caught up with:
transamerica ***
brillant performance by felicity hoffman. great in desperate housewives, she excels here as the man opting for surgery to become a woman. in true grit and spirit, she delivers a fantastic portrayal of the trauma and suffering transsexuals experience in their quest for a better life in a gender-friendly body. Must watch.
Matador**
Watch this if only to see pierce brosnan deliver a volatile performance as an assassin on the brink of a nervous breakdown. though the film as a whole wasn't spectacular, pierce is completely astonishing...never would have thought there's this much hope for james bond!
syriana*
written by the guy who wrote traffic, one is sorely disappointed by the disparate characters. though it all came together in traffic, coz the plot was so riveting, the sheikhs and their oil in this case, didn't quite have the same impact. george clooney was somewhat Ok, though i don't know why he won a globe, and matt damon was poker faced. should be renamed sorryiana...

why madonna rocks
heard her new single "hung up" the other day and since it has been ages since i have listened to madonna, i didn't quite know how to react to it. pop songs are no more my listening pleasure but this particular one brought back the memories of a red-lipped madonna wearing lace and garters, looking wild, as she gyrated. it also brought back images of college socials in the middle of the day and enthusiastic DJs called chris and ryan falling back on La Isla Bonita to rev up the crowd.
hung up has some great tempo, and you kind of get hooked on to it real quick, even if you are well past the disco stage/age.
i distinctly remember moving to the beat the whole song through, even though i was in the midst of serious work! that's madonna for you.
she may not be able to match J K Rowlings in writing children's books, but she sure can give beyonce a run for the booty...

vodka shots
i read today that circus elephants in russia are being given gallons of vodka to keep warm. now that's an interesting thought. the report did not mention if it went to their heads... what would it be like encountering a pachyderm with a drunk trunk?
see; see
it's no small wonder what J K Rowlings can do with just one tree. it can morph into a monster, it can look angelic, it can turn into a cave, it can exhibit fangs. what makes imagination run this wild?
i find most people around me have stopped reading completely. they are all watching moving pictures. but watching moving pictures does not help you hone your visualization skills.
people who read more are always the ones who visualize better. and being able to form mental pictures effectively helps you in any field of work.
like many people i know cannot get through a gabriel garcia marquez book. they find it tedious, too many words, and too many images to form in the mind. but imagine if you were to spend an hour daily connecting far flung images together.
one hundred years of solitude is one heavy load of imagery, and imagining ants, soldiers, lilies, and gunshots all in a span of 5 minutes is exhausting.
but you kind of get used to it, and are able to rationalize better the next time you are confronted with one of life's tricky problems. that's the power of visualization. it's what today's corporates refer to as the "global picture".
and getting it is what keeps you at the top of the heap. it's also why "well-read" is still used to sum up an interesting personality... or is it "well-googled" now?
