Interplanetary greeting
December 14th, 2006
Hi everybody. This is Martian. I’ve been given the colossal task of guest-blogging for Su Ann. I’m not even going to pretend that I can fill the role of titillating your senses the way she does so I’m going to very perfunctorily entertain you with fillers that invite totally obvious comparisons of how my blogs suck big time compared to those of the Luscious Pink Goddess. I also have the tendency to wander off into long sentences. So bear with me.
First some history of why I’m a Martian. And why Hong Kong is dangerously close to stripping the 2nd rock of its planetary status after Pluto, which I hasten to respond: every discipline has a ritual that’s totally anal in nature. Sorry Pluto, you have to clear the neighbourhood around your orbit. Take the Japanese Tea Ceremony. I browsed through Paulo Coelho’s essay collection on that subject who expressed the view that if daily routine stuff like drinking tea were done in a ritualistic way, we would enjoy our life a lot more. Okayyy, I’m really really looking forward to brushing my teeth tomorrow. Anal everybody, you gotta be it. I think Su Ann’s has this shower ritual that lasts for hours, but that’s a story for another day. Anyway, back to the question. Why am I a Martian?
Consider the picture below. Compare it to previous pics you’ve seen of me, do I look like him? Do I have a green helmet on my head that tries to pass off a broom as that furry thing on a centurion’s helmet? Do I match a red tee, green skirt and red tights with white sneakers? Do I do that on other days than Wednesdays? Do I wear white gloves? Am I always pissed off? Do I have all that angst that I pented up as a teen when I was really nice and smiley? Do I have a self-imposed anger management policy on myself? That thing that they ask you to do..count from one to ten, take a deep breath, does it really work? Yes, it does. Is my name Marvin?

Hmm, interesting. Here’s a question for you, if one’s daily routines were done in a ritualistic way, would have have the time, or energy to contemplate how joyful their life has become, when compared to a non-ritualistic approach? And if they don’t have the time to contemplate the amount of enjoyment that a ritualistic approach has bought them, it is really a more enjoying or even desired life? Alright, I know what your think; your thinking “Hey buddy, you said question as in ONE question, but you asked two…what’s up with that?” to which I”ll answer “Actually, I have asked three questions and answered one.”

jay: my philosophy is as bad as my math.
adrian: thanks! that makes up for choosing pic B over pic A.
bulat: the best medicine

tze: really?!! i’m dying to see that- must’ve been a super-manja 10yo pinkpau.
ria: you are very, very perceptive.
9. Az1 | December 15th, 2006 at 2:17 pm
Good job on the post. Pink: found yourself a co-blogger? Both of you are good. But pink’s posts are “cuter” in a way.
10. Kz | December 15th, 2006 at 3:18 pm
to tze: no la, zen is another guy with good taste for a name.
since he used it first in this comment box, so i had to stick with my msn nick.
hmmm, dunno what to comment. oh ya, guest blog more!

14. kristof | December 16th, 2006 at 1:50 am
Somehow, you didn’t really answer the question on why Hong Kong is Mars and you’re a Martian
15. martian | December 16th, 2006 at 2:35 am
az: what! i wanna be cute too.
kz:: do u know, in scrabble zen is not a legal word. it’s true. but in life, we all want our zen moments.
forever: short sentences suck.
otherzen: no apologies needed. girl zens are always a welcome thing.
tze: gaaa it’s a deal!
kristof: hk is mars coz i’m a martian. why i’m a martian, i’m still looking for an answer. maybe the zen people can provide enlightenment.

Martian is cute. :D
Yeay Martian.
17. Sze | December 18th, 2006 at 1:14 am
physical resemblances notwithstanding, does martian not refer to your tangential wanderings of stream of consciousness that seem to leap intergalactic distances?
18. martian | December 19th, 2006 at 2:26 am
sze: no…it just means i have a bad hair day
19. crazymedicstudent | December 28th, 2006 at 7:17 pm
