Looks/Personality Scale: Inverse Relationship

Beauty lies in the beholders eye… we all know that. Yet every time a guy friend asks me if one of my girl friends is hot… I mumble and put forth a lame and awkward reply. If they’re hot… it is easy. But if they’re not… it is awkward. This is how a conversation went between my friend and me.

A: Bruvvvv M’s coming to visit in 10 days!!
K: cool. Is she hot?
A: what does it matter… she’s my friend.
K: yea… but is she hot?
A: She’s really funny! Omg the other day we were talking and-
K: is she hot?
A: she’s really sweet dude… like really really sweet…
K: is she hot?
A: I think she’s pretty… but dude she’s just so sweet
K: it’s a simple question… is she hot?
A: well, she’s…
K: yes or no?
A: just see for yourself!
K walks over to the other guys
K:  “yea she isn’t hot”

Our friends fall into two categories: hot friends and friends with great personality. It’s the best and easiest way to dodge THE question. Except, now everyone knows the secret.

Apart from dodging the question… in my personal opinion, this is rather true. It is very rare that a really hot individual possesses an equally hot personality. These two qualities: general looks and personality, share an inverse relationship. Very few individuals possess both the qualities, at the same level.

I researched, hoping there would be some statistics to back my point, but only found subjective forums and discussions, similar to mine on search engines. However, the fact that other people too think the same way like me… shows there must be some element of accuracy behind my claim?



All I’m saying is, there is ‘Hot and Spicy chicken’ and ‘Sweet and Sour pork’ on the menu, but no dish as ‘Hot and Sweet chicken’ available.

A rare combination; if found, hold on to them as demand is huge and supply is low.

Aunt Jemima me up!

Happy Pancake Day!!!


Pancake Day, also known as Shrove Tuesday, Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras is the day before Lent, period of 40 days when Christians traditionally give up rich foods and luxuries. Since pancakes are cooked with fat, butter and eggs they are thoroughly enjoyed on the last day, 8th March 2011!

It is celebrated worldwide and even though not everyone follows Lent... we all just need an excuse to eat pancakes (Seriously, look at Aunt Jemima's happines... all because she eats pancakes). I read about many different types of celebrations, but by far my favourite is 'Pancake Day Race'. In honour of this day, several contests are held such as flipping, eating and cooking pancakes contest... but the best is the flipping race contest:

Women have to be dressed in a scarf and apron, and have to run the length, flipping their pancake in their pan. How crazy is that! I can't even flip a pancake in my kitchen... forget running around with one, that too with a scarf on my head.

Anyhow, I'm not suggesting to run a race or to observe Lent... all I'm saying is enjoy pancake day!! Cook or head down to flying pan, but do not let pancake day slip by so easy. Here are a list of the best pancake recipes:


Please listen to Banana Pancakes by Jack Johnson while cooking, for the ultimate pancake experience!

Cook, eat and flip away!!

    I know today is International Woman's Day, as well, but I believe everyday is woman's day... we don't need a specific day to celebrate female empowerment. We are a force not to be reckoned with, EVERYDAY. If some of you still feel Woman's Day is very important, please celebrate with a pancake. Unfortunately, not everyday can be pancake day.

    Insane in the Membrane

    Go on, I dare you:
    • At lunch time, sit in parked car w/sunglasses on & point a hair dryer at passing cars to see if they slow down.
    • Write 'For Marijuana' on all check stubs.
    • Order a Diet Water at a restaurant seriously.
    • When money comes out the ATM, scream 'I Won! I Won!'
    • Pick up a box of condoms at the store, go to the counter & ask where the fitting room is.
    • Take a proper shower in a water fountain: loofah, showergel, ducky and all.
    • Everytime someone asks you for something, ask them if they want fries with that.
    • As often as possible, skip rather than walk.
    • Specify that your Drive through order is to go.
    • Go up to a person and speak gibberish, with a straight face... and get annoyed when they don't understand you.
    • Walk and then randomly point at the sky and shout "WWWWAAAAAAHHH" in utter surprise
    • Sing along loudly at the Opera.
    • Interrupt a wedding dramatically and confess to having feelings for the same sex individual.
    • When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot, yelling ‘Run For Your Lives!  They’re Loose!’
    • Tell your children over dinner, ‘Due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go.’
    • Use a light pole on the street as a stripper pole, and show everyone your sexy moves in the middle of the day. 
    "A sane man is simply a better liar than an insane man"... get crazy once in a while.
