Since Christmas?? Oh my. Do you miss her much? When fl left for week I was going crazy... could not sleep well, nothing really interested me... how do you cope with it?

Yes, the past few days I have been starting to miss her quite a lot. Because of the way we work we do often go for three or four days without seeing each other but a month is a long time. I cope with it by keeping busy. Not a problem at work and not a problem at home if my daughter's home but when I'm home and she's away at school it's not so easy. Coming home on Thursday for a few days though.

Great then and I think it´s always easier when you have kids to spend time with... the most important thing is to not be alone, though one misses the person just as well and keeping yourself busy is great, I often do that too when I´m alone.

And how are the works on house?

LOL oh jeez, i get it alright, just not the mentality behind such a traffic control system I usually don't like to make assumptions about any person, place, or thing based on YouTube videos but

I've been watching driving in Slovakia and i must say....it reminds me so much of the bumper car ride at the carnival when i was a kid

Here in the states you usually just have a solid RED light to indicate to vehicles they may not proceed straight obviously. And as far as making a right turn on that same lane, yield and use caution before proceeding (if a "no right turn on red" sign is posted) unless a green arrow is posted for that right turn lane. But you will never see 2 different colored arrows configured the way it is in Slovakia. I can already see the mayhem for that intersection :| Our system seems a bit more straight forward but then again, we all get accustomed to the given rules of the road around us

Now I don´t really get it... wait.

Maybe I´m blind, but in the picture there are two arrows? I only can see a red light and a green arrow In that case (of two arrows) I can understand your confusion absolutely because something like that I have never seen before... it´s illogical. I´ve seen hearts instead of lights, but that was some smart guy playing around with traffic-lights on Valentine´s day... but two arrows like this?

I thought it was a red light, not an arrow

Very interresting story ! Did you hate the nerves of steel because you wanted to be the one to protect him from things? Or you just thought it was an act and wanted something that seemed more natural? Either way, its good that you got your point across and didn't cry about it, so I guess it was just another step of the learning for you . Even though I guess the not crying was short lived when the friend asked to date him . People are interresting that way I guess. Its probably even harder for some to not go for it in school I guess because the world seems so small whereas if you get out in the world and still date a friends ex right after its even worse because your world and options are then bigger.

I always dreamed about marrying a Jamaican guy, or Asian one... anyone but Slovak, lol. I ended up with my neighbour... I´ve always find this very amusing and ironical. Not that I want to marry anyone now... I fight very strongly against it, but... yes, if fl would want such a thing, I´d agree.

World is huge and small at the same time, and sometimes we have to travel the whole world to find out that everything we really need lives next to us and, either way, we never really know where the life will take us. My friend left to England for new experiences and got married after a year

I know there's not only some, but tons both because of their own admission and the money they spend on it. They spend a lot of money on eye surgeries and skin whitening cream and now even surgeries to make them taller that takes a whole year off of work to recover. That said, being self depricating in the way of looks is viewed differently in their culture, so in my experience the average Asian with low esteem of their looks is still happier and more confident overall than the average person from other cultures with low esteem of their looks. Even though many think they would be happier than they are looking differently, there's still no evidence that other races are any happier themselves. Its kindof complicated since other races don't view low esteem of ones looks as being acceptable I guess. In our own worlds though, we probably know working class people who are happier than most rich people, but still think they'd be happier if they were rich and some even get rich and find out otherwise even. That's not to say they all become miserable, but some just find they just stay the same.

Isn´t it sad that people think that money or looks will make you happy? That being taller, or thiner will change anything? It´s always the same person inside... and that´s what really matters. Actually, is it the only thing that matters, if you ask me. It´s about how you see yourself - and if you see yourself as an ugly person, no operation and no money is ever going to change it. People mostly don´t really know what they want, and never what they really need, but they will die in attempt to get it.

Silly, isn´t it?

Yes, there are many of them . A small percentage because the land is so vast, though if all of them were to go to some small countries they could be a big percentage of the population. Don't get me wrong, I love strong women, I just prefer they look more like women that is.

Oh, imagine such a city I call that a nightmare of a guy

If you both don't mind me butting into your discussion

From my own experience, I believe it boils down to one thing. Wealth. If you are a Asian man with light colored skin it means you spend most of your waking hours indoors and out the sun. Therefore meaning you must have a job in the city and work in a building. Jobs like these are renowned to be far more well paid then anything else. For example agriculture work, which is hard labour and poorly paid. The difference between light skinned colored people and dark skinned is vast, in terms of the way that they are treated. The light skinned asians are far more respected and hold a much higher status as they represent the country well. You see while western civilization is in a economic crisis. The east is making leaps and bounds (well for their standards) So representation to them is key in order to progress.

The women are forever dressing themselves up and covering their body (how they do it in such searing heat is beyond me) They do this in the hope to make themselves more attractive to wealthy Asian men and get themselves out of poverty. I am not suggesting that darker skinned girls are unattractive. However a wealthy businessman wouldn't want to be seen with a darker skinned girl as it damages his status.

Also if you're fat man, you are seen as more attractive as it suggest you can afford good food and lots of it. Basically totally reveres to over here

Which reminds me of a particular hotel manager treating me far much better then any other customer. Extra food was always placed on my plate. Forever flirting with me, saying "I like you Harry, then running off giggling" and always served me first

When she found out that i stayed the night with this girl, she always asked if we were "just friends" it was sweet at first but it soon wore off and she hated the girl i stayed the night with

Anyways, my point is she was clearly trying to win my affection in the hope that i would provide her with a better life and all that jazz

Now you can see the amazing difference here - nowadays people tend to get more and more bronze and the cult of the "sun kissed body and skin" is tending to rise higher and higher.

Ironical?

And even more...

It seems to me as time goes on, a wider range of beauty is accepted more openly. On top of that, with the internet people are able to see people from places they've never been. I have some Asian friends and know some, but they're only 5% of the population here and I haven't been to any of those countries at least that I can remember but I've heard a lot of people like me saying their opinion changed through seeing actresses and models that they never knew there were so many Asian beauties. Of course, I never really thought one group was better than the other anyway, but I'm still amazed to see the beauties in places I visit as well as that people show me. I guess if anything would be the answer for them, it would be that. It may not happen over night, but we'll see .

I hope you´re right, Joe and talking about this... fashion is hated by many because of it´s "obvious worthless representing of ideals" but take into consideration the fact that it is fashion as well which brings these various kinds of beauty, isn´t it?

Step by step, and very slowly, yes, but it is.

Thought the Red Dwarf fans here would like to know that, according to Robert Llewellyn's Red Dwarf blog, they have now finished recording the new series.

We have made 6 new half hour episodes known as Red Dwarf X. It will be broadcast on Dave in the UK from some as yet unconfirmed date in September or October this year. It will be released in many dozens of other new and old media formats globally after that date (but before Christmas) DVD, Blu Ray, Netflix, iTunes blah de blah.

It is, I think I can say without prejudice, classic Red Dwarf, much closer to series 4,5 and 6 than anything else we’ve done since. We used very little CGI (some special effects enhanced by GCI wibbly wobbliness) but we do use a lot of model shots and they look ‘freakin’ awesome’ as young American chaps are known to say.

The full blog is here.

YAY! Thank you Tran

These are adorable

Auan, a seven-year-old female cat, licks the body of Jeena, a three-year-old male mouse, at a farmer’s house in the central province of Phichit, 450 km (281 miles) north of Bangkok on August 7, 2002. The animals owners say Auan found Jeena three years ago and has been his playmate and protector, including warding off dogs, since then.

No I am thinking i might have to move back to London, Which actually i wouldn't mind doing anyway lots of friends up there. To be honest there isn't much going for me down where i live now. Since i was away all my friends have moved on and doing their own thing. New Jobs, Houses, Babies, Cities....Everything has changed. One of my mates has even decided to change her sexual prefrences thats how much things have changed Which let me tell you was a huge shock So the group that i was in has kinda disappeared. Which was bound to happen but just wish it didn't happen while i was away, <_< cuz it's been quite a shock coming back. whereas for the others it has been a gradual change. Doesn't seem wired to them.

It's taken me a little while to get use to the new situation.

I hope that move to London will help. Maybe you can find a good job there too? Is London a place where you were born?

Yeah, born and raised. Spent the first 20 years of my life there. Miss the buzz of London, so it would be good to go back

And even more...

You mean bronzer as in the make up girls wear? - Because don't even get me started on british girl's and there excessive use of make up Seriously at times they wear so much makeup, that it feels like having a cake thrown at our face while kissing them Not my style at all. Don't like girls who feel the need to sexualize themselves that much in order feel attractive around men. I'll always go for the girl who has least amount of make up and can feel confident enough to go out more covered then not

Wew, Good pictures of Freja for once!!!! Also, she has stated in recent interviews that her career has been winding down recently.

Hey girl is it the blog you were talking about in another thread? It looks pretty much like a fashion/style blog really.... then again, I've only looked through first 2 pages. Btw if it's on vogue platform... was it started for her?? Was she asked to blog or it's on vogue platform and not some typical blogging one because she's a model?

I always dreamed about marrying a Jamaican guy, or Asian one... anyone but Slovak, lol. I ended up with my neighbour... I´ve always find this very amusing and ironical. Not that I want to marry anyone now... I fight very strongly against it, but... yes, if fl would want such a thing, I´d agree.

Good points wise you are .

Silly, isn´t it?

Yeah, it is. It makes it funny to think of when I was a kid I would wish I was someone else whereas now there's no one else I'd want to be but me and everyone should feel the same.

Oh, imagine such a city I call that a nightmare of a guy

LOL yeah, but it might be a good place to visit if massages are cheap as a result I guess . There's some pics I want to show you some time too of different levels of female 'fitness' as I'm curious to see which you think is the best stopping point or the ideal limit that is.

welcome hun, anytime

any plans for weekend?

Yeah, born and raised. Spent the first 20 years of my life there. Miss the buzz of London, so it would be good to go back

Why did you move?

You mean bronzer as in the make up girls wear? - Because don't even get me started on british girl's and there excessive use of make up Seriously at times they wear so much makeup, that it feels like having a cake thrown at our face while kissing them Not my style at all. Don't like girls who feel the need to sexualize themselves that much in order feel attractive around men. I'll always go for the girl who has least amount of make up and can feel confident enough to go out more covered then not

Agree with you I feel somehow happy when I see such girls - wearing minimal or no make up at all, and clothes that scream "I have a personality" rather than "I want to make sex with anyone" or "I bought this because it´s so IN and everyone wears it" I like natural, kinda original style of dressing, comfortable yet beautiful. Girls that are, as you said, confident enough to wear whar they like (instead of what is liked or preffered) and to wear their own face

I also thought the huge amont of tanning that is so "IN" nowadays - in contrast with our white skin discussion we had.

Wew, Good pictures of Freja for once!!!! Also, she has stated in recent interviews that her career has been winding down recently.

Those are really beautiful, I love to see this side of Freja

Btw if it's on vogue platform... was it started for her?? Was she asked to blog or it's on vogue platform and not some typical blogging one because she's a model?

Yes, it´s it! But aside from it being full of her pics with clothes and styling, she also gives plenty information on her work and places she stays in. And she interacts with her fans too. Which is fine

As for the start of it... I really don´t know, but I have a vague memory of someone saying that they asked her to blog there... hm I need to find more info on this one.

Good points wise you are .

I´m just so cool and wise yeah!

Yeah, it is. It makes it funny to think of when I was a kid I would wish I was someone else whereas now there's no one else I'd want to be but me and everyone should feel the same.

Agree. I was the same when kid - there were plenty of people I wanted to look like or be (mostly book characters, lol) but now... I feel like I am the book character and wouldn´t change with anyone in this universe (and others). When someone asks me who would I like to look like, I´m like - ME! not that I´m perfect - actually I´m far from that - but with time, I´m being more and more confident with my body and personality and I love that.

LOL yeah, but it might be a good place to visit if massages are cheap as a result I guess . There's some pics I want to show you some time too of different levels of female 'fitness' as I'm curious to see which you think is the best stopping point or the ideal limit that is.

Show them! Wanna see

And I´m glad that you always find something good in even evil things
