Reality Check

Posted by andrei on May 30, 2006

Laying here in the room alone
Mind sorting through thoughts
With a face mask of stone,
It is not good to be alone

The shelter of imagination
As a temporary dome
How long does it take
To lose your safe home

Find what is real before it’s all gone
Grasping to reality with complete desperation
All the while fearing
This word, this thing, this feeling…

Alone

A washing machine is the last thing you’re going to take traveling, right? Well what if you could have the convenience of a fully-operational washing machine without taking up all the space? That’s right, thanks to its unique inflatable design, the Astone Mobile Washer is a washing machine so small you can take it anywhere. Perfect for campervan trips, weekenders, camping or hotel stays, the Mobile Washer weighs just 2 kg, and when inflated, holds 6.5 L of water.

Pieces of Me

Posted by andrei on May 18, 2006

I feel
that
my mind
is about
to explode

As if
my subconscious
parallel
to the
big bang theory

I try
desperately
to keep it
together
but
the pain
inside me
is slowly
breaking me
apart

Women are Impossible to Please???

Posted by andrei on May 11, 2006

A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates.

You may visit the store ONLY ONCE!

There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch… you may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.

On the first floor the sign on the door reads:

Floor 1—These men have jobs and love the Lord.

The second floor sign reads:

Floor 2—These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.

The third floor sign reads:

Floor 3—These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking.

“Wow,” she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:

Floor 4—These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework.

“Oh, mercy me!” she exclaims, “I can hardly stand it!”

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:

Floor 5—These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 6—You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that WOMEN ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!
