Touch it ...

...I just heard the single from Busta Rhymes ...I miss the energy of good hip hop. I know I'm past the saggy pants generation, but as the Gen X'r...hip hop was developed ... as I was growing up. None the less, I am sure I could scare some locals in HK, if I was blaring such music from my flat in the Mid-Levels (NYC reference would be Upper West Side, SF reference would be Pacific Heights, London reference would be Sloane Square or Ascot, Surrey for that matter). Point being, the edge is not present in HK life. Crazy people seem to be exported elsewhere. I have not utter WTF? in a long time.

As my Uncle B, quite rightly point out, my posts have decreased and don't reflect as much of what I am thinking and my experience. It could be for a variety of reasons:

1) I'm too busy with Tanja
2) I'm too busy with work
3) Too many people read this blog and look at my pictures on Flickr ... and I'm not sure
everyone should know everything!
4) I spend all my time at reading Sawin.com (shameless plug, for a shameless blogger).
5) I am secret agent and spend all of my time fighting crime.
6) I am at the gym all of the time tuning my temple called my body!
7) I am out drinking (Manhattans, Whiskey and beer) and talking a load of crap
8) I have been out watching the World Cup matches and been waiting for England to bottle it
(they did)
9) I am in : ( select one Kuala Lumpur, Macau, Bangkok, Stuttgart, San Francisco, London, etc)
10) Combine reasons 1, 2, 3, 5 and 9.
11) Ok, really it is just reason number 5.

As of late, I have made a point fo reading (for pleasure). In the last 2 days, I finished of Brass by Helen Walsh ( I think I picked it up inSheffield back in 2004). A bit gritty, but a read none the less.
