Smarter the phone, dumber the person

"Smarter the phone, dumber the person" That is the statement that a person said when I was boasting about my new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 when I bought it. At that time I did not give that statement much thought, but now I realise that there is some truth to that statement. (I need some cookie points for this :D) I'M NOT SAYING THAT I'M GETTING DUMBER because all of you know that I am an awesome individual ;). But I have to agree that, there is some truth in this statement.

Most of the time we use your phones to navigate through social networks. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram as examples. It's the case with many Asians. I travel regularly to Malaysia and Thailand and they are social network zombies just like Srilankans. BTW I travel to Thailand as a good boy okkkkkkkk.... (just to keep the record straight) most phones advertise themselves with features such as facebook integration and loads of other social networkings features. Have you ever asked yourselves why we have become such zombies and waste our productive time on social networking. Do not get me wrong, we need social networking to communicate with the outside world but we need to strike a balance. That is my opinion.

The biggest worry for me is how smart phones helps you to screw up your grammar. Trust me on this. Yesterday I sent a text message and when the recipient replied saying "what do you mean?" I checked what I typed. I was like what the "duck" did I type. (I try to be as responsible as possible for my under age readers) Auto correct  does not auto correct in my opinion. After yesterday I try my best to type every single sentence and refrain from using auto correct in a desperate attempt to save my writing skills.

If you still think that this post is a utter waste of time (which is not :P)and you think that you could has used the time that took you to read this to play barn buddy on facebook, I want you to do this test. Close your eyes for 2 minutes and try to enjoy all your other senses. It may sound a bit kinky but try out and FEEL the difference. It's the same with your phone. While you are checking out a stupid meme a hot chick with red lipstick might pass you by wearing a bikini. YOU WILL NEVER KNOW. Crazier things have happened.

Just find the balance between you smartphone and life. Your greatest experiences happen when you live your life in the real world, not on your smartphone. I'm trying my best to find that balance.

Random thoughts on a sleepless night

It's just one of those days where you can't sleep. Playing stick cricket of your phone hoping and praying that you would feel sleepy at some point. It ain't working people. Never the less, this sleepless night reminded me that I haven't blogged in a while.

If you people have read my previous posts you would know that these sort of sleepless nights are the catalyst for most of my blogs. Now you understand why I write a lot of bullshit. :D

When  you can't sleep, random thoughts come into your mind. Following are few of throw thoughts that I would like to share.

1) WHY THE HELL CAN'T I GO TO SLEEP? I tried everything.  I changed my sleeping position and I even changed my bloody pillow. Still I can't go to sleep.

2) When am I going to finish my thesis? This has been dragging for ever. I can't make up my mind to sit down and finish it.

3) Who are we going to buy in this transfer window. Arsenal haven't won a trophy for 8 years. It is high time we win something.  To win something we need to buy players. Dearest Arsene Wenger, I'm thinking about who can improve our squad at 1.18 in the morning. Please buy a good player and help me sleep.

NOW COMES THE WEIRD SHIT! ;)

4) Do aliens actually exist? I am a firm believer that they do. I don't want them to come and invade us, but they can always drop by and say 'hello machan' and go. I don't mind :D

5) The thing that I Google the most when I can't sleep is about the Loch Ness monster. I wish to believe that this mythical creature exists. I know!  Aliens and the Loch Ness monster.... Don't blame me.  Blame Discovery channel for putting all this mysterious bullshit inside my head.

So the you go. Those were some of the random stuff which goes inside the great mind of the Guy Wearing Shorts.

Sorry if there are any grammer or spelling issues. I was using my phone rather than my great laptop which has a strange line going through the middle of its display.

I Need To Sleeeeeeeep! I'm gonna give it a shot.

Live Life!

Srilankans hate Australians

Everyone knows that Srilankans have an undying hatred towards Australians when it comes to cricket. It all started when Sri Lanka toured Australia in 1995. It was the first time Srilankans were put under pressure and were abused. You might remember the sledding (i remember how ausi bowlers sledged kalu, and kalu gave one of the most innocent smiles that u had ever seen) and the Daryl Hire incident. All these incidents solidified the Srilankans to reach the final of the Benson and Hedges series, if I'm not mistaken we made the discovery of our explosive opening pair and it was the platform in which Sri Lanka won the world cup. In my point of view we should thank the Aussies for being so generous! ;)

Gone are the days of Daryl Hair, and his hair. (literally speaking ;)) but what I fail to understand the current hatred towards the Aussies. When you ask some Srilankans about why they hate em, the responses are
* "machan u remember the 1995 tour?" yes obviously I remember it. But come on!! Why do you wont to keep acting like a revengeful woman. Aka "agei wairaya ;)"
* others don't even remember why they even hate them. They just say "I just hate them" You don't remember why you hate Australia but you remember the movie "agei wairaya" how cool is that? :P
* some others say "they sledge machan" news flash : every team sledges. For god sakes even the Zimbabweins sledge. For a matter of fact, we even sledge and give the stare. Don't tell me that you haven't seen Dilhara trying to Stare Down batsmen. Scary stuff. Writing about it sends shivers down my spins. Brrrrrrrrrr :P

Srilankans are known for there hospitality. As the hosts of the T20 world cup, show that we are better than any of them. Thats my point of view. But it's up to u!

Hate Indian cricket! :P

Growing a year older

As many people around the world know, The Guy Wearing Shorts is officially 26 years old today. If you didn't know that, you should go get a life. :P

Mass celebrations have been organized around the world in honor of the birthday of mine. Paris Hilton has organized an around the world celebration with Parties in Tokyo, Bangkok, Ibiza, New York and LA. Ozzy Ozbourne has promised to eat another Bat's head and Mike Tyson is going to byte the ear of a random dude.

I am so moved by these special people who have gone to great lengths to celebrate my birthday.
But I have always been a modest person. Well grounded. I wondered what have I done with my life. I wanted to be an Animal Activist, a guitar Player and so on and so forth. But I couldn't do any of this.
Something that I am really passionate about is Being an Animal Activist!

Being 26 is not that pretty. Its the sorta age that you don't know whether you are young or becoming old. Is it a matter that you have to torture yourself with? I don't think so. Then why am I making such drama about it? I don't know.

As long as you are 26, you can make fun of 27 year olds. keep making fun of them until they feel like punching you on the face. When they are about to punch you on the face, please don't forget to run for your life.

Stay safe! Wear a condom!

Dogs or Beggars?

I went to ODEL yday. No, I didn’t go there to check out the chicks. If I went to the Ward Place one, it would have been to observe the environment, but unfortunately I went to the MC one. Yeah! that small one, which makes you claustrophobic. I bought a “Strays are Cool” wrist band from there. It made me think. 

Yes I tend to think about useless stuff. What can I do? Doctors told that I could not be helped. :D

Who deserves affections? Beggars or Dogs? I don’t know about you, but I think dogs deserve more affection.

You give a biscuit to a stray dog. It would eat the biscuit and wag his tail, and sometimes the dog would even lick you to show their gratitude. Eeya neda.. licking and stuff. :P I  don’t mind them licking as long as they don’t have Rabies. Buhahahahah…

You on the other hand trying to give a lunch packet to a beggar in good faith. They would ask you all sort of questions such as“Athule monawada thiyenne?” “Vegetable da?” “Mata issellath hambawune vegetable, wena mukuth nadda?” These questions make you feel murderous. ( over exaggerating a tad bit ;) )

So you should way the options. Are dogs more human than actual humans? Hmmm… may be they are. Dogs are loyal and faithful. Think about it. You better think about it. Otherwise don’t read my next post. I have enough and more people. I don’t need a disbeliever. :P

Have an awesome day.

Stay safe! Use a condom!

Lame stuff that people say!

I pulled a back muscle coughing. Can you believe it? Just like the players in my favourite football team. They get injured while walking to training, I pull a back muscle due to a sudden cough. I guess now I know while I love Arsenal so much.

I haven't blogged for a awhile, but today I am ready!!!!!! Ok. That sounded pretty lame :D but it is a good start to the topic that I am going to blog about.

We have to except the fact people say lame things. Some people say lame things because they are wired that way,some when a joke goes wrong and he or she tries to salvage something, when they lie and other chooti reasons.

Let's talk about few general lame things that are in common use:

1) "single life rocks with a whole load of x's (roxxxxxxxxxxxxx)"

Most people say this when they don't have a partner. Only a few mean it. When someone asks, "why aren't you going out?" the first thing that comes into your mind is "single life rocks." It is just like "koheda yanne?" "malle pol" scenario. Ok maybe it is not that bad.
But when you can give other reasons such as:
* it's my problem, not yours(the mean answer)
* y? Do you wonna go out with me? ( the pani or the gay answer. Depends on the gender of course)
* I don't feel like it at this moment (the normal answer)
* I have too many options to choose from (another lame answer)
why do you want to give such a crappy answer?

2) "I am waiting for the right person"

How many so called "write persons" will be there? 10? 15?.. Oi, everyone knows that no one katta aragena waits for the right person. At least sane people don't. It's all about trail and error if you ask me. If you don't put yourself out there, you won't find anyone at all.. No sex!... nothing!,,,,,, I repeat nothing.. :P

3) "If you leave me, I will die" (non suicidal)

I am no doctor, but I think this is not realistic. Maybe only if you have a poor heart condition. So don't leave people who have heart conditions without thinking twice.

4) finally!!!! "Manchester United is the best club in the world"

For god sakes, being the most popular club doesn't mean that they are the best club in the world. It only tells you that it is the most marketable club in the world. I have nothing against true Man U fans. But there are some fans that know nothing about Man United history and come and talk crap about Arsenal. People! I don't get hurt. I laugh at you from the inside and may be from the outside too :P I know more about the so called best club in the world than 50% of Man U fans in Sri Lanka.

Ok those are the few lame stuff that I could come up with.

Have an awesome day.

Stay safe! Use a condom!

A lot of Bullshit and a bit about the Underdog

It’s a warm Sunday night. As I was about to go to sleep with my favorite SHORT on (Since I am the guy wearing shorts), a bright light appeared out of nowhere. And a deep voice spoke to me and said, “ Thy son who is named the guy wearing shorts! Please blog tonight and educated the world with your wisdom. “ I raised my eyebrows and thought to myself “damn! The bright light dude wants me to blog something. He rates me so highly that he said please” Awww…. I was touched ;) Since the bright light dude took that much of an effort to convince me to blog, I jumped out of the bed, dug for my laptop which was under a mountain of cloths and crawled under the bed to find the laptop charger. :D After going though all the drama of switching on the computer, I was finally ready to blog.

To tell you the truth, I’m quite aimless tonight. I don’t have a specific topic. I cannot think of a specific title. I haven’t blogged for months. I sound like a whiny ass cry baby, which I’m not. (I am awesome) hehe… I can’t help the fact that my ego gets in the way of my writing. ;) To tell you’ll the truth I had sooo many interesting topics to blog about in my mind. But unfortunately, halfway through I got bored and stopped writing. Okk… why are u listening to this crap? Time to think of a topic.

After lengthy seconds of consideration…….

I finally came up with a topic. Yipeeee……. I am sooo proud of myself.. ;)hehe.. Tonight I’m gonna talk about the Underdog.. No you stupid, it’s not the movie. If I wanted to talk about the movie, I would have told you to rent it from a CD Kade.. :P  

As you may already know, the Rugby World Cup is ongoing. And half of Sri Lanka is supporting the All Blacks. (Whom are the favorites, but every time they screw up.. which I find bloody hilarious) It’s the same thing when it comes to the football world cup. Sri Lankans support Brazil or Argentina. I have to ask my fellow Sri Lankans a simple question. “WHERE IS YOUR SENSE OF IMAGINATION?”

What I think is, we Sri Lankan try to play it safe. I remember when I was doing my O/L’s in 2002 the football world cup was being held. (okkk yes you can calculate my age…. ) every kid in my class supported Brazil. But I thought differently..  I supported Germany, whom were not the favorites. I got bugged, ridiculed ect.. But in the end,  Germany made it to the final. Even though they lost in the final, I gained respect from my peers. They called me Mr. Germany. The teachers called me Oliver Khan (whom was the player of the tournament)  How cool was that? :D

All I can say is dare to be different. If everyone supports Obama, support the other dude. Being different makes you get noticed. This is great advice to guys. When you are different, girls find you interesting. It is a great conversation starter. You can go places with it. You can thank me later.. I accept expensive gifts, so feel free.. ;)

Do not make obvious choices and make your life boring. Take a chance, support an underdog.Go to gym,  Take a shower. Use lifebuoy soap, feed the dogs… Ohhhh my bad.. Going off track :P

 Do something different for a change. Don’t be boring.

Live life!!!
