22nd June 2012 The Things People Do ...!

I am not sure how much fame or fortune people are awarded for being the first to achieve all sorts of incredible things, most are quite interesting, amazing, entertaining but many others are, to me, plain silly, like the the challenge of most hamburgers or hard-boiled eggs one can consume in the least minutes; some would even go as far as risking their health and even lives. At the end, only they themselves can really know whether or not it had been worthwhile. The ones who lost their lives in the attempt couldn't even know that.

22nd June 2012 My Passion & Woody Allen's Brain

Every now & then somebody would ask me what's my greatest passion in life, not so highbrow as idealistic, but daily actions. At one or two occasions I answered " High quality & well prepared food is my 2nd greatest passion; the 1st one I am not telling." As expected, people always urged me to say what my first one was, no response to the 2nd as if they haven't heard that part at all. Getting no answer from me they usually offered all sorts of their own conjectures.

Today I read about Woody Allen's view that " The vocation of politicians is to make each solution a problem.", and his opinion of his own talent : " My brain is my 2nd favourite organ". None of the dozens of reporters & photographers present at the press conference asked what his most favourite organ was.

His declaration brought out loud & understanding laughter, mine a few winks & puzzled question marks. None of these is of any significance nor importance. Just voicing my disorderly passing thoughts.
