French onion soup

Because I lack inspiration, I may not write (here) for a while

But, like a genie, I will leave you three things (because magic things come in threes) -

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, a good friend's favorite poem which I have recently re-discovered on my blogging trails

A beautiful, bittersweet Chinese song

A funny and cute Jamaican song introduced to me by my Dudette at work

I am off to seek my light.

Meanwhile, I hope you are happy.

  • I was recently told a genie joke, not sure who, but its kinda cool.

    There were three people stranded on an Island, an American, a French, and a Chinese. They came across a lamp, and out came a genie. The genie promised them three wishes, in which they made in turn. The American went first and he wished he was back in America. His wish was granted, and he was home instantly. The French wished to be back in France, and in a instant, he was back in France. The Chinese however had not desire to return to China, and as he was puzzling over what he should wished out, he said, 'how i wished both of them were back with me,' and in an instance, both the American and French were back on the Island with him. The genie then disappeared.

    Now, both the American and French were fuming mad, with the 'stupid' wish the Chinese had made; but their anger soon subsided as not long after, they came across another lamp and out came a genie who again offer them three wishes. This time round, to prevent the Chinese from making wishes that would bring them both back to the Island, the Chinese was first to make his wish. In his fustration over still being uncertain what he would like, he shouted 'leave me alone', and sure enough, the genie disappeared instantly.

    The three people remained stranded on the island, without further luck on lamps or genies.

  • Here's a more terrible joke based on stereotypes and nationalism instead of genies.

    There was a Russian, an American, a Japanese, and a Korean on a sinking ship. And only one escape boat. So the four had to decide which one among them would get to live.

    "Bah, this nonsense matters little to me. FOR MOTHER RUSSIA!!" The drunk Russian declared, and plunged off the ship. The American, not wanting to be stood up by his rival, immediately yelled "AMERICAAA" and jumped off as well.

    This left the Japanese and the Korean. The Korean glanced at the Japanese and cursed. "Oh, what the hell.

    "FOR KOREA!!!!!"


    And pushed the Japanese off the ship.
