Lights, Camera, Action

My plans kind of took a detour today. And I have to say, I really hate it when people waste my time. People have to realize that time is precious because it’s priceless. So I ended up going to see the movie The Rookie. It was a pretty sweet movie. There were a lot of [...]



Blah.. blah.. blah…

I’ve been perusing a few message boards lately. And I ran across a forum for one of the television shows I watch regardly. It’s amazing how fanatical some of these people are. Seriously, they seem to be so engrossed in dissecting future episodes. I’m starting to wonder where they get this information. And exactly, where [...]



Breathe

Inhale.. Exhale.. Something that we take for granted. I was on the train heading to gym this morning, and I felt like I couldn’t really breathe. I think the fact a bunch of human beings packed into a train like sardines, really didn’t help. So when I got out of the station, I took a [...]



Tube Time

So last night, I sat around the tv to watch the Oscars. It was a bit boring, so I started channel flipping. Unfortunately, there was nothing on except for Fear Factor. And I wasn’t really in the mood for that. The funniest moment at the Oscars was when Reese Witherspoon asked her husband Ryan Phillippe [...]



Life Lessons

By urbanblitz • Mar 25th, 2002 • Category: Rant & Rave

As many of us do, we start to ponder our life existence in our mid-20’s. Would we consider that soul searching or a mid-life crisis in our 20s. Seriously, do I really know what life is about. Is it finding oneself… or achieving success. The definition of success is yet another double edge meaning. Is [...]



Round 2

By urbanblitz • Mar 21st, 2002 • Category: Rant & Rave

Today, I went on another round of interviews with two more temp agencies.
Agency # 1
I got there around 11 am. Surprisingly I was not subjected to the barrage of test. Instead, I only got tested on my MS word skills. And I was out of agency by 11:30 am.
Intermission
Since, I got out of Agency # [...]



Warped

By urbanblitz • Mar 21st, 2002 • Category: Arts & Entertainment

The movie Requiem for a Dream is so mind bending and warped. It reminds me a bit of Stanley Kubricks film Clockwork Orange. The camera angles Darren Aronofsky used was just amazing. Instead of centering the movie around the character, he focused on their addiction. It’s a great movie because so thought provoking.
It makes you [...]



Novelty

By urbanblitz • Mar 20th, 2002 • Category: Rant & Rave

Remember, when you were little and you had your nose pressed up against the window gazing at the must have toy. Okay, maybe I didn’t have my nose pressed to the window. But I was always trying to pull myself up to see the must have toy. And I remember tugging my my mum’s coat, [...]



Restrictions.. restrictions

By urbanblitz • Mar 19th, 2002 • Category: Rant & Rave

A friend of mine, sent me an email to tell me about how her company is implementing new office policies.
Here is a list of restrictions and prohibited actions:
Instant Messaging
Personal email
Personal phone calls
Specific websites are blocked (i.e. hotmail)

I can understand why these policies are in place. Apparently, in my friend’s situation, her supervisor is enforcing these [...]



More Junk

By urbanblitz • Mar 19th, 2002 • Category: Daily Musing

For those of you who know me personally, you know I have been on an endless crusade to clean my room. Of course, being such a pack rat, I’ve been better at accumulating junk. So these days, I found that it’s much more beneficial for me to toss all my junk up on ebay. As [...]
