Mother Fucking Waste of Time

Well to all those who has been following my blog, you might notice that it has been awhile since my last post. Well a few things has been keeping busy. Allow me to fill you in.

1. I have been busy touching up some photos so this one guy who wants to do an exhibition in a museum. At first I agreed cause I thought it was like 10-20 photos only. Well guess what! I was wrong. Total was 187 photos. It was more but a few of them was like unusable. Now, if it was photos of things I'm interested in then it may be not so boring, unfortunately.... it was for stone age tools and stuff like that. Well it was boring as hell. Further more my date line was suddenly shorten. Talk about stress. People don't seem to understand that artistic work cannot be rush! Well I have to say that on the last few pictures I took a few short-cuts. Hope fully they will not notice it.

The items are of Arabic heritage, and mostly dates back to pre-Islam era. One of the items that I found interesting was a stone object that was call the Idol. This was the object of worship from the time before Islam. I can never imagine how it looks like till now. Below I've included the Idol and a few other pictures that I found interesting.

Nice Animal Skull

Stone Balls That Was Used Against Invading Armies (WMD?)

Arrow Head

More Arrow Head

Cave Man Weapon

2. Now I did mention earlier that I bought the game 300 for my PSP right. Well either I'm lousy at it or it is a fuck up game. I am stuck! Well I give it another 3 tries and then I will look for somebody to take it off my hand. Anyone wants a pre-owned 300?

PS: to t0pk0p.... lately you have great post.

Places I Want to Visit In This Lifetime Part 1



This planet that we call home has many wonderful and beautiful places, too numerous to list them all. So if you had the chance to visit just a few where would you want to go For me as a Buddhist I would say that these would have to be the top of my list.

1. Bodh Gaya- The place where Buddha Shakyamuni attained enlightenment. It is also known as the Vijra Seat and the spiritual center of the world. The main temple is well over 2500 years old. Seeing this place would be of great significance to anybody. Imagine the history that this place would contain.

2. Lumbini Park- This is the park where Siddhartha Gautama was born. It is situated in Nepal. This is where our Buddha was born.

3. Swayambhunath Stupa located in Kathmandu Nepal. This Stupa is one of the most holiest sites in Nepal and for Buddhist as far back as the 5th century. For some reason I can't stop thinking of this place after since seeing a picture of it.

4. Rumtek Monastery- Located in Sikkim,India. This is important for me because I follow the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism and Rumtek is the current seat for the Kagyu order and also the Black Hat Lama. Ah the thought of just meditating there and chanting some mantras in Rumtek is just enchanting.

5. Benares or Modern Vanarasi- Lord Buddha in his lifetime visited this holy city which lies along the river Ganges many times. Till today this city is still a great city surviving since before the times of Lord Buddha.


life along this holy river and city revolves around many religious ceremonies
