A godfather’s wisdom

14 03 2008

My godfather (who is also my mom’s uncle) e-mailed my mother the other day. It’s too good not to share:

I have to go cause you know youre getting old when …

  • you feel like the day after the night before … and you have not been anywhere
  • when it takes you longer to rest than to get tired
  • when you proposition a girl … and hopes she says no
  • when you are more interested in your banker than a real beautiful red head; and
  • when you know your way around but you dont feel like going

You know me, i’ve been all over the world and i saw plenty of action in france, in belguin, in amsteradam… i’ve been to every “dam” place did it all. Love you.

Man … what a statement. I hope to look back on life like that some day … if I’m lucky!

Overheard in Singapore…

17 01 2008

I’ve heard a lot of interesting things in while in Singapore and I keep meaning to write them down to share… I’ll try to do better. In the meantime, here are some of the recent goodies:

  • Apparently, this was an honest pick-up line attempt: “I’d like to squeeze your anatomy”
  •  ”… until the cats come home”
  • “The jam was all over the island” … Traffic jam that is.
  • And the best was heard by dad today while walking by a table.
    • Man says to woman, “And do you wear clothes when you do that?!”
    • Woman, “Of course not!”

Heh, must keep my ears open more and my fingers active!
