The Flaccid Mind

A beautiful wound

“It was necessary to have a scar in this life that would be carried with you, and would prepare you, for the next. It is called a beautiful wound.”

I was thinking of some words or phrases to be inked on my useless body. End up reading on Latin quotes, Hebrew and Sanskrit texts.. and oogling at hot chicks photos

Some of the photos and quotes that I found..

“Send blessings upon the works of our hands” in Hebrew I do not mind working my hands there either

Equilibrium (Er.. nice photo heh? )

To the stars through adversity in Latin

Angelina Jolie’s Pali incantation tattoo is written in the Khmer language.

Closer look

For the girls, nah!! Script from Psalm 144: 1 - A Psalm of David. Blessed be the Lord, my rock.

I wonder if Bahasa Melayu or any ethnic language in Malaysia is popular enough to be inked on the body. So far I yet to see anybody do that haha! Imagine walking around seeing “Tak Melayu hilang di dunia!’ Opss.. in Malaysia, Melayu = Islam so tattoo is forbidden for them. Still we as Malaysians, those do not have any religious restriction can do it. Let me see, what are the famous quotes in Bahasa Melayu that I can remember:

Saya pantang dicabar! - 4th Prime Minister of Malaysia

Jangan hisap dada! - Samyvellu (He meant dadah - drug )

Kami bukan along, kami cuma nak tolong - I saw one funny advertisement on tv

Macam-macam ada! - Infamous Astro tagline.

Or maybe we can have some in Hokkien??

Ee chiak lu, lu pun um chai - Lim Keng Yaik

Eh, this is supposed to be a serious entry!!!! Totally butchered, end up a post on stupid quotes haha! Pardon me for the distractions

Back to serious topic Some other Latin quotes..

Omnia mea mecum porto - All that is mine, I carry with me.

Cogito ergo sum - I think, Therefore I am

Nosce te ipsum - Know thyself.

Sit vis vobiscum - May the Force be with you. (I love this lol!!!)

Alis grave nil - Nothing is heavy to those who have wings

Ad astra per aspera means - To the stars, through difficulties

Semper ad meliora — Always towards better things

Luctor et emergo — I struggle and emerge

Verba volant, scripta manent - Words fly away, writings remain

Veritas lux mea - Truth is my light

ps: Probably should just get ‘Carpe scrotum’ - Seize/grab life by the balls!

Panic! @ the Blog

Noktah Hitam is revamping his blog theme. I am thinking to do the same too, but I have lousy IT skills so forget about it muahahahaha! Sticking too long to one theme is kinda boring. I love this Black and White theme very much. Simple and neat and customizable really, just me not so good in doing it without messing the whole layout . I am thinking to put up a banner for this blog, see if I know my way around the codes

I edited my old banner* using Paint.

I was shocked yesterday when I cannot access my blog in the evening. At first, I thought the server was down again (damn it! ) so I check Cibol’s and Melbie’s blog because they are using the same hosting provider as mine. Their blogs were accessible! Then I tried to log in the Wordpress admin page and was greeted with a message - ‘The database is outdated. Please update bla bla bla’. Cheebuy! I just upgraded my Wordpress to the latest version last week, damn I must did something wrong during the installation? So I googled here and there, pm-ed few friends.. went to the Cpanel to check the codings (I tak paham sangat pun..) and I messaged Noktah Hitam on Gmail. He was not around to reply at that time, so I continue to do what shits I also had no idea at that time.

Then maybe because of divine intervention, I could access the main page again! Hurray!! Finally!! Wait… I couldn’t access any of the blog entries. I could see only the main page, but when I clicked on the entries, I received another stupid message ‘Page not found bla bla bla’. I keep on trying and clicking like a mad man. Imagine the frustration.. it is like a boxer trying to scratch his itchy balls but he cannot.

End of the story, when I was about to give up (I was thinking, fark it! Just start from scratch again lah! I still have the backup for some entries. ) suddenly all went back to normal. Relieved!! Noktah Hitam replied me in Google Chat then asking what was wrong but I said nothing wrong, everything is good now.

Conclusion :

1. I still have no idea what happened.

2. I still have no idea what I did or did not to solve it.

Moral of the story :

1. Do backup of your blog.

2. Do backup of your blog.

3. Do not panic. Wait for few hours, go watch movie, oogle at chicks, grab a coffee what ever then come back and check again. Most of the time this thing happens due to crappyshittysmellyrottenfuckup server problems.

ps: sorry, emoticons overdosed, couldn’t resist.

*old banner done by Lola.
