Manolo Responds

manolo_stats.jpg

The stats spike after the Manolo article. All this stuff is available via the stats link above. Weekends are always crap cause you buggers aren’t in the office. The average return visitors are about 25.


This is for all the people who should be working, and are instead downloading this crap and porn on your office computers. 90-95% of this site’s traffic is US/Canadian, but with the flamewar between me and Morquendi and the Manolo debacle there are like 40 Sri Lankan return visitors. I don’t know how I feel about this as I am now shitting where I eat, but whatevs.

Blogging has an tendency to really piss people off. The best example is www.dooce.com where hilarious entries like Reasons The Asian Database Administrator is So Fucking Annoying and PowerPoint Me To The Nearest Sledgehammer got the author unceremoniously shitcanned. Getting fired for blogging is called getting ‘dooced’ in her honor.

Another funny example was Washingtonienne. She working for Senator Mike DeWine and having butt-sex with prominent Washington chiefs of staff for money. For example:

I just took a long lunch with F and made a quick $400. When I returned to the office, I heard that my boss was asking about my whereabouts. Loser.

She got dooced after Wonkette linked to her. I think she got a book deal out of it. Anyways, nobody can fire me, but I’ll still try not to piss anyone off.

To close off the Manolo debacle, here’s a comment she left. She’s a great sport and we’re friends now. I’ve added my opinions in italics.

Right. I feel I should say something. Make indi feel better about it and put a few things straight.

I asked indi to come over because he happened to be in J’s car when I asked the others. It seemed impolite not to. I didn’t think he’d turn up, but I didn’t mind that he did… he seemed nice enough.

fk that, she liked me

Can’t remember touching his ass, but I wouldn’t put it past me. I do that sort of thing. asses are nice.

I called him an arrogant twerp because he was being exactly that.

I’d spent the last 3 months mostly out of the country and I was going away again for 6. It was meant to be a good night with good friends, good booze and silly conversation and it would have been exactly that if not for Indi. He kept wanting to talk about politics and colonialism and real things that really mean something. I’ve been there, done that and I’d much prefer a good story about a penguin and a small coconut. These damned aspiring intellectuals always under-rate the value of absolute nonsense. I just wanted him to shut up and hopefully leave the party.

Instead he stayed and did the dishes.

I did one dish. I am tired of my one redeeming quality being a lie

Strange reaction to abuse, but it did make me feel really guilty the next day.

We’ve been in touch since. Alternating between nastiness and apologies for nastiness. I’m being really petty, but this guy pretty much takes all the shit I give him and likes me more for it. It’s worth studying.

We hung out last night and I think we’ve made our peace. I think I’ll do the decent thing and leave him alone now. I think I’ve made up for fucking with his head. He really isn’t so bad… once you get past the uppity-ness and the insecurities. And the intensity and the touchiness. And the obvious desire to bone anything in sight. But he gave us something new to talk about for a day or two. Thanks.

apparently all the ‘girls’ think I’m arrogant now. As much as this helps me out, I don’t think it’s true

Oh and Tabu, piss off and die you bastard. I’ve known you since we were 9 and perhaps what you say is true, but jesus men, at least pretend to stick up for me. Oh and he was bending over backwards from the start, its just not to sort of thing he’d blog about.

That quote actually wasn’t Tabu, it was someone posing as Tabu. And no I was not.

Note: I was looking through the stats some more and I saw some of the ‘Came From’ links. These are my favorite Google searches that lead to this site:

effects of porn on girlfriends

places for fucking sri lanka (number 1)

I can add this to the keywords I accumulated in Montreal, like

hookers st laurent

Who are you people?

Diarie of a London Call-girl : http://www.belledejour-uk.blogspot.com for when we all tire of hearing about a certain feisty pair of spiked heels tripping around.

I was just reading that site and it’s pretty funny. My favorite quote is,

“So now we have to talk about services.” She pronounced the word like it had twelve vowels: suuuuuuuurvices. “Have you done A-levels?”

A-levels? Well, yes, but that was years ago. Besides, I was under no impression that academic fluency was a prereq for the job. “A-levels?”

“You know,” her voice dropped to a whisper, “Anal.” I’m quite sure the waitress didn’t need to refill my coffee right at that moment.

“Oh, right. Yes, I can do that. Provided I haven’t been out for a curry the night before.” We laughed.

She kinda stopped posting since the book deal, but the archives are interesting.

google searches are amazing – i always wonder what people expected to find by typing such stupid things. the last few funny ones to my blog were “my baby is a chutia” “can’t stop staring at sister’s ass” and “boob madness”. and my all time favorite classic: “my sixteen year old loves to wear diapers”.

scary.

Sarath Fonseka And Minority Politics

I started off not really liking General Sarath Fonseka, him being part of the aggressive war effort. I didn’t support the war (largely cause I thought it would fail), and I thought Gotabhaya Rajapaksa and Fonseka were gleefully stomping everything. Fonseka even came out and said “I strongly believe that this country belongs to the Sinhalese but there are minority communities and we treat them like our people,” in 2008 (National Post). Then when he ran for President in 2010, he won mainly in minority areas. Which shows you how things can change.

General Sarath Fonseka Out Soon?

General Sarath Fonseka was arrested on a bunch of trumped up charges, but mainly for daring to threaten Mahinda in a Presidential election. Despite his poor health, Fonseka was arrested in February 2010 and sentence to three years. Word on the street now, however, is that he’ll be released soon. Like any day now. President Mahinda Rajapaksa has told the Hindu so, so it looks like the General will be out soon. Without his title, a proper house or much shot at power, but out still.

The iPlayboy App. For The Articles

I’ve been testing a lot of apps. A very interesting one is iPlayboy, from Playboy magazine. It’s bad porn but a good magazine, especially since you can read issues from its cultural heyday – the Mad Men era of the 60s.

Reading Comics Again (Marvel Comics App)

I’m going to get back to blogging. I buy a shitload of stuff on my iPad. Not that I like spending money, and the exchange rate terrifies me, but it’s just so easy, and so good. For example, I’ve been reading comics again. Spiderman, and Carnage. Except this time Spiderman is friends with Iron Man, and Carnage has boobs. Amazing. I’ve realized, however, that Marvel never ends stories. They are all cliff-hangers. Sequels are the business model. They’re such assholes money machines.
