MBB kicks it again

Once again the MBB has shown that it rules. Exactly six months and some days after its creation it makes the Mauritian blogging scene known to common Mauritians by being the subject of a newspaper article on Le Mauricien. This article paves the way for further knowledge on blogging and for people to know better on this rising phenomenon. Bloggers like Morinn, Jevin and KeliAti have been mentioned in the article as well. They have given a clear and simplified explanation on what blogging is.

I salute this event and hope this is just the beginning.

Next is the consideration of blogging as a platform to express serious and important issues and not just a way to make new friends.

A Saturday thought

We live in a crazy country where children lose their lives because of stupid heads of state. I don't know what else to say for this event has had so much impact on me that it has left me speechless. Something has got to be done.

Parmesans

I am dreaming of parmesans. Parmesans everywhere, melting parmesans, parmesans with aubergines, grilled, warm, a little sticky. Oh my God, this is driving me crazy. With this rain I am lazy to go buy something and cook it. I rarely cook but this time if I have a parmesan in front of me, I'll feast on it and cook it and make it become the most delicious meal ever.

A page rank

Following my post where I was ranting about how my life is meaningless and that I should update, I received an almost divine sign that I should keep posting. I am sure now someone up there reads all blogs and knows when to send signs. The sign in question is a Google PR 2. I had completely abandoned my blog without even thinking about it when today a friend asked me to check my Google toolbar and see for myself, which I did and which I could not believe. My blog has nothing, I am not ashamed to say this and if ever I got the page rank because of traffic then I thank the MBB entirely for this, because let us face it, I don't really visit other blogs or forums. My online life is limited to MSN, wikipedia and the MBB forum. I know I am making a big fuss out of this little PR. Try to understand me, this is the kind of little thing that makes me happy. Perhaps this will give me the required energy to go on with that awesome thing called blogging. Amen.

I should update

Since I have created this blog I have realised that I prefer reading what others have to say rather than writing something on my own. Maybe I am too lazy to write. I am so taken up with my uni work that I often forget to update my blog. I admire those who are able to write something everyday, to express themselves or to let others keep track of their lives.

Recently I have been wanting to go away... out, and somewhere very far. On a safari, an expedition. Somewhere far, somewhere perilous and from where I could write and take photographs. This would interest people, they would want to know about my unique life. But for now I just write about my boring life, dreaming of meeting tigers and crocodiles. Maybe somewhere in my dreams I would meet them. Maybe somewhere in my dreams my life would be interesting.

Freedom Fighter

Freedom Fighter

The mouths of envious
Always find another door
While at the gates of paradise they
beat us down some more
But our mission’s set in stone
‘Cause the writing’s on the wall
I’ll scream it from the mountain tops
pride comes before a fall

So many thoughts to share
All this energy to give
Unlike those who hide the truth
I tell it like it is
If the truth will set you free
I feel sorry for your soul
Can’t you hear the ringing ‘cause
for you the bell tolls

I’m just a freedom fighter
No remorse
Raging on in holy war
Soon there’ll come a day
When you’re face to face with me
Face to face with me

Can’t you hear us coming?
People marching all around
Can’t you see we’re coming?
Close your eyes it’s over now
Can’t you hear us coming?
The fight has only just begun
Can’t you see we’re coming?

I’m just a freedom fighter
No remorse
Raging on in holy war
Soon there’ll come a day
When you’re face to face with me
Face to face with me

This song is from the US rock band, Creed found in its album Weathered. I feel so much sadness when I hear this song. I imagine wars, those soldiers who want to return home, who are afraid for their lives but who have no choice but to remain there in the battlefield and save the land and their lives at the same time.

Freedom fighters are here to save us...

The 1-word tag

On MBB's forum everyone is playing the 1 word game and I wanted to create a 1 word tag. I know tags are very notorious in the blogosphere; most people regard tags as being a task. So let give you a task my friends. *evil smile*. The tag will be in the form of a question sheet.

1. What Rocks?
2. What Sucks?
3. What's Awesome?
4. What's lame?

4 question! Only 4! Looks simple isn't it? The answer will have to be only 1 word. You can add a describtion or picture to explain your answer, but the answer itself will have to be 1 word.

For the launching of the 1-word tag, I apply a ladies first policy and I tag BbZuSh, Morinn, offbeat_chick and KeliAti. Please try to answer this on your blog. It can be fun.

Seven things

I have been tagged by Morinn from something to talk about... I thank her for this tag which is my very first and which would be my participation for MBB's seventh theme of the week which is seven itself.

The tags consists of enumerating seven weird things about me. It is quite easy. Let me begin.

1. I hate meat. I don't like to eat red meat specially. Not even my mother knows that.
2. I have never fallen in love
3. I can't use pencils which have blunt egdes. I need sharp and pointed edges. Always.
4. I invent names or nicknames for my close friends and family.
5. I have weird and irregular sleeping patterns
6. I hate people who are not true to themselves
7. I don't think I am weird in any way.

I pass this tag to anyone who wants to reply to it on his/her blog.

Since I can't let this post end like this, I'll write about the meaning of the number seven to me.

For me, this number means luck. It makes me think of the triple 7 you see in cash machines if ever you have won.
The number seven is also present in many common mystiques, like the seven deadly sins or seven lives.

In numerology seven is the most significant of all the numbers, seven is generally thought of as lucky because there have been so many famous groups of seven or of its multiples: the days of the week, phases of the Moon, notes of the musical scale, colors of the spectrum, the seven original fixed stars, the seven graces, the seven virtues and, from the Bible, seven days of creation, even trumpets, seven plagues, seven seas and many more. Its great mysticism is summed up in the belief that a seventh son will possess enormous magical powers. So the number is regarded as highly spiritual and philosophical. Its people are intuitive, perhaps psychic, and not interested in material wealth. If you are a seven person, you have great associations with water, your planet being Neptune, so you will tend to love travel, especially on the sea. You often have power over others, but must avoid being too introverted Your originality can make you a good writer, poet or painter. The 7th, 16th and 25th are your lucky days, together with any monday. Your best color is green and your stone is moss-agate. The associated tarot card is the Chariot.

I leave you here. With seven thoughts. :D

I am annoyed

I am really annoyed today. I am not trying to be like anteblog but I have seen something today which left me feeling really angry. Why should people copy from some other people? Why can't they be original and innovative? This happened when I visited a forum today and saw that they were copying the layout and structure of another forum in which I am quite active. I was wondering whether those who copy do not feel that they are not being original. Everyone see the forum of MBB original and cool. The contructor there often innovates but I think they should do something to prevent poeple from copying their ideas about the layout. It is just unfair.

Sex and drugs and Rock 'n' roll by Ian Dury and The Blockheads

I totally dig this song! So I thought I would share this with you for the theme of the week from MBB! Enjoy.



Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Is all my brain and body need
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Are very good indeed

Keep your silly ways or throw them out the window
The wisdom of your ways, I've been there and I know
Lots of other ways, what a jolly bad show
If all you ever do is business you don't like

Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Is very good indeed

Every bit of clothing ought to make you pretty
You can cut the clothing, grey is such a pity
I should wear the clothing of Mr. Walter Mitty
See my tailor, he's called Simon, I know it's going to fit

Here's a little piece of advice
You're quite welcome it is free
Don't do nothing that is cut price
You know what that'll make you be
They will try their tricky device
Trap you with the ordinary
Get your teeth into a small slice
The cake of liberty

Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex, drugs, rock, roll
Sex, drugs, rock, roll

Feast for the eye

Enjoy girls. Source: Google image search. ;)

Most promising event in 2008

The most promising event in 2008 for me would be if I win the rocking girl blogger award. While browsing some girl blogs I saw this award and I must say that I have been shocked that most of them who received this award did not rock. I'm not saying that I do. But at least let's be generous and fair and award this to girls who are really into rock and who proclaim it. But to be awarded the rocking girl blogger award I must wait for my blogging colleagues to win this award and to generously pass it over to me. :D

The way is tough but I promise I will post more on rock music and female guitarists in the days to come. Keep rocking. ;)
