Portrait of an ordinary staright man. An intelligent man of many interests and hobbies who uses lateral thinking techniques to improve the human condition. He is not in the zone. However, in his twilight years he transcends to the next level of a corporeal biped being. There are no short cuts in this mortal realm. For the secular world is shallow,pretentious and fleeting that he has never been so high and mighty as to touch the sky above. Let that be his last literary battlefield.

  • Can you believe that the World Wide Web is 25 years old?

    However, the internet was around before then. I remember watching movies about the military, large business organisations and most educational institutions had some sort of computer link with each other. There may have not been a search engine yet but these agencies would send information through a computer link. I do know that emails were first used by Universities in the early 1970s.

    So, can you really believe that the www is 25 years old?

    Did anyone use the web during the first few years of its infancy?

  • Why do certain individuals choose to take illicit substances?

    I have just read the morning news about the death of the actor Philip Seymour Hoffman at the age of 46. Such a shame to lose a great actor and a fellow human being.

    I am curious to know why do some people take drugs. What does it do to the body? How do they know how much to take before an overdose kills them in the end.

    Why do they take illicit substances such as marijuana, LSD, heroin, crystal meth, and other lethal drugs? Are they in pain?

    What exactly is the purpose of taking drugs other than getting high or stoned?

  • Where can I find and buy a jar of German mustard in Australia?

    The local supermarkets don't sell them anymore. I grew up with German mustard and it is the best one with my salads and with Polish salami. I have tried all the others but they don't have that extra taste or bite to it. Dijon and American mustard is a little bland.

    Anyone know where to buy some jars that is reasonably priced in Australia.

    Much appreciated.

  • Have you watched Breaking Bad and Games of Thrones?

    I am currently watching the final season episodes of BB and started watching the first season of Games Of Thrones on the net. So far BB is well acted and written but it always tends to go another direction. That is why keeps the audience hooked. Good solid entertainment.

    However, Games of Thrones is completely different setting and theme which has a plethora of graphic violence and explicit gore to match. I have yet to read the book based on a fantasy style medieval setting mixed with dragons and witchcraft on a realistic level.

    Is it worth watching Games of Thrones 2?

  • Would you vote to make euthanasia legal for people over a certain age group?

    I think the best way to solve the over population growth for the aged and weary who are sick, lonely or had enough of living could choose to be euthanized at the age of fifty or more years.

    This would reduce the massive over population of elderly people, the sick, and for those who have decided to leave this life because of misery,grief and loneliness.

    Also, it could reduce the suicide rate for the middle aged people who have lost the will to live anymore and those that don't have a family.

    I have seen many old aged people who are constantly ill, lonely, lost faith, depressed, and unhappy growing older. Of course I would expect someone to talk them out of it before the actual procedure.

    There should be a group of individuals who can help those who wish to go out with dignity and not be a burden to their family or the government.

    Think of all the money the government will save from less welfare payments and benefits.

  • What is the most eerie type of music,sounds,songs from a movie or tv series?

    That you have heard and enjoyed. I have recently listened to the soundtrack of Shutter Island and it has the most eerie,haunting and disturbing music that I've ever heard. My favourite haunting music is from 2001 A Space Odyssey,Taxi Driver and The Shining.

    There are many pieces of music and sounds I can recall from may movies and tv series but for the life me I can't identify all of them because they're not available on CDs. Or, maybe I am unable to find them.

    Some soundtracks that have been available to purchase or released on CDs do not have the entire musical themes and/or no other sounds. One particular soundtrack I bought years ago had songs selected from popular charts but no damn musical content. I didn't want the songs but the composed musical soundtrack.

    Have you noticed they tend to use some of the same of tunes,songs and other classical compositions too in most movies unnecessarily? It just doesn't work.

  • How do I come out of the wardrobe?

    I'm a wimpy straight man trapped in a macho man's body. What shall I do to become a real ugly fat ordinary man? I do not like it when gays and hot babes flirt or try to get my attention. I hate it. I have tried everything and yet they still annoy me.

    Why can't people leave me alone? I am a middle aged man and even small kids always talk to me. Young teenage girls ask me silly fatherly advice or is it a sexual advance. I'm not interested in their sexual escapades or orientation.

    Hot babes and old bags are the worse kind. They seem to expect me to help them with directions, shopping about fashion ( I know nothing about the trends), invite me for a coffee or an alcoholic drink( Yak!) and chat all day long about trivial matters. No way.

    Even when I look scruffy, unkempt and wear casual clothing I still get dirty looks.

    I have tried to act like a moron, a mentally disturbed idiot and commit solecisms by using fowl language to rid these pests. Even single mothers tend to gravitate towards me too.

    All I want is to be left alone. I enjoy my own company. I need solitude, peace and quiet to do my own work.

  • How do I get rid of all those annoying popups ads on my screen...?

    While I am checking my emails and trying to log on to other important websites. This has really pissed me off during the last few days as I have had my laptop cleaned and I download one software programme when another one comes on the screen.

    This has slowed down my PC. So I have downloaded another one and the same thing occurs.When when I try to exit or click on either no or yes the ad still comes up again and again. Pain in the ass. Sometimes I get suspicious of the ads as seems as thought they deliberately try to grab your attention and/or slow down your PC.

    Is there are software app that can get rid of these cybernetic vultures?

    This has taken me over 20 minutes just to type this up.

  • Is this normal for me or am I the only one who has lost interest going to...?

    I am a middle aged man who has lost interest in going to the cinemas,outdoor events, concerts and anywhere a large crowd looms. Just want to know if it is normal for a person my age group. I would much prefer to go to the local library, shop around for books,DVDs,CDs and chat to a few young ( those over 35 years) women regardless of their appearance. That's about all I do besides my other hobbies and personal interests,

  • Are Usana Vitamins worth the money to purchase?

    I have seen an advertisement on FTA TV where it said Usana Science during the tennis coverage. I did some research on the web and found that they sell vitamins at a very high cost. Is it worth buying and does it actually work?

    What is the difference between Usana vitamins and the average brand name one can buy at any supermarket or local pharmacy?

    Does anyone use their vitamins and do they work?

  • Have you either met or know someone who is so naive,clueless,ignorant,stupid...?

    And will not take any advice,suggestions, give opinions and/or is able to think for themselves.

    No matter what you do to resolve the situation or at least try to reason with that person they still don't understand. Lost the proverbial plot.

    Even if you drew them a picture ,connected the dots, gave some sort of an direct approach, some support they continued to refuse, accept or acknowledge you and the information.

    Yet they seem to know how to withhold information, not care about anyone else, are sly,devious and street smart about going about their own way or business.

    And that everyone is a figment of a corporeal being's imagination and program. That we exist as holograms run by trans dimensional beings on another realm.

    When someone commits suicide they delete their program and reappear as insectoids.
