Venus und Mars – eine Philosphie

Allgemein

Diesen hoch philosphischen Text bekam ich neulich aus der Schweiz:

„I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.

FOR EXAMPLE:

One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, ‚I don’t feel like it, I just want you to hold me.‘

I said, ‚WHAT??!! What was that?!‘

So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear…

‚You’re just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man.‘

She responded to my puzzled look by saying, ‚Can’t you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?‘

Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.

The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn’t decide which one to take, so I told her we’d just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said, ‚Let’s get a pair for each outfit.‘

We went on to the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you… she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn’t even know how to play tennis.

I think I threw her for a loop when I said, ‚That’s fine, honey.‘ She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation, she finally said, ‚I think this is all dear, let’s go to the cashier.‘

I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, ‚No honey, I don’t feel like it.‘

Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled, ‚WHAT?‘

I then said, ‚Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You’re just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman.‘

And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, ‚Why can’t you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?‘

Apparently I’m not having sex tonight either….but at least that bitch knows I’m smarter than her. „

Weltwasserwoche

„85 Prozent der Städte lassen Abwässer ungeklärt ab

Dringender Handlungsbedarf besteht nach Ansicht von Wasserexperten bei der Entfernung gefährlicher chemischer Substanzen aus städtischen Abwässern. Eine Studie des International Water Management Institutes IWMI hat gezeigt, dass in 85 Prozent der Städte Abwässer ohne vorherige Behandlung abgelassen werden. Dramatisches Detail am Rand ist die Tatsache, dass viele Nutzpflanzen mit Abwässern bewässert werden. In 80 Prozent der 53 untersuchten Städte wurden Abwässer für die Pflanzenzucht verwendet.

Die jüngste IWMI-Studie wurde bei der derzeit in Stockholm stattfindenden Weltwasserwoche präsentiert.“

Wenn die Pflanzen zu 85% Abwasser zu trinken kriegen, frag ich mich was den teilweise so die Menschen zu trinken bekommen … .

Ubuntu vs. Leopard

Allgemein

Neuerdings versuche ich gerade zu testen ob ich auf Ubuntu umsteigen kann ohne viel „Luxus“ im OS einbüssen zu müssen, abgesehen von Photoshop, Final Cut und so weiter. Da kann leider Linux überhaupt nicht mithalten.

Aber so der „normale“ Computer Alltag sollte doch mit Ubuntu lösbar sein, Programmierarbeiten sind natürlich auch kein Problem unter Ubuntu, aber Design und so …. .

Nun denn, mal schauen wie es mir gehen wird. Und mir scheint ich bin da gar nicht so alleine, es gibt einige Seiten wo vom Umstieg von Windows auf Linux / Mac OS X auf Linux gebloggt wird.
