Erm.....Burma
...hard to explain my lack of blogging at the moment!
I'm putting a lot of time and effort into work at the moment so when I get around to sitting at the computer at night I can't really find inspiration to do anything!
And it's not just my blogs that are suffering. I've got content that I need to be working on for a few websites and there are loads of things I need to do around the house.
Not much is likely to happen this week as I'm going to Amsterdam with work for a couple of days so that'll be pretty tiring.
Anyways, today I've added a couple of videos (below) which I felt carried a pretty timely message.
It's hard to look at Jim Carey and not laugh, but that's just it - you can't laugh- the situation in Burma and many other Countries is nuts - yet I bet Bush and friends wouldn't life a finger to help out.
Mind you, a Monty Python skit springs to mind. ...here's the clip!

Bless!
For the last couple of days my son has come through to our bedroom (as usual) and said ever so nicely "morning mummy and daddy. Did you have a nice sleep? I did! I scared all the monster away for you."
He then returned to his usual routine of clambering over one of us and positions himself in the middle and says (To each in turn, but normally starts with me) "oh I love you Daddy, you are a best friend!"

Steam Trek: The Motion Picture!
At first I figured the title might be something naughty, but I did find it under "comedy" (honest!) so figured I was on safe ground.
Anyway, here's a Star Trek parody shot in black & white. Love the soundtrack!

Personal reflection
Whilst walking around city at lunchtime I reflected on my current lot in life.
And, all things considered, it's pretty good right now:-
- I've got a great family around me, both in my own home and in homes not far away too (Mum & Dad live about 2 miles away, and my Bro and his family are 2 minutes walk!)
- My 3.5yr old little son makes me laugh and smile every day
- There's another bundle of joy to look forward to in about 8 weeks time
- I have a really great roomy house in a classy area 30 minutes walk from the City
- And I've got a great job too.
I guess what might've brought this reflection on was passing someone in the street who I used to work with (if the term "work" could be applied to what he did in the office, that is if he could be bothered to turn up....) who had a stinker of an attitude problem.
And that's the difference. Having the right attitude, giving 110% effort , going out of my way to help others rather than being selfish and a continued belief in myself means I can always be proud of what I've achieved in life.

Oh I do love to be beside the seaside...
We went to Great Yarmouth yesterday because little 'un wanted to go to the seaside.
Yarmouth woudn't normally be my choice destination for this activity despite its long mainly sandy beaches, but I'd grown tired of going to the seaside every couple of weeks and standing in the feezing murky sea while he threw stones in to the sea to splash me. So Yarmouth, with it's plethora of amusement arcades and other attractions seemed a good choice.
Chips for lunch is alway a good start (with lashings off ketchup and an unhealthy does of salt and vinegar, of course!) and then we wandered along the beach for a while, built a sand-pile (little 'un didn't want to build sandcastles...)
Then it was off to the arcades to spend a few coins. Finally we ended up in the Pleasure Beach. It's a bit run down but he enjoyed getting soaked whilst watching the log flume. In fact he enjoyed that more than the Haunted House (really tame but scared him enough) and the Fun House (he really was not sure about the moving floorboards and walkways - especially as it was pitch black, so I had to carry him around this "attraction" which didn't help my own struggle to balance!)
The only problem with going to the seaside is the sea air makes me wnnat to sleep.
Of course, on the flip said it almost certainly guarantees a sleeping kid too, which is always appreciated for a hour on a Sunday!

Watch what you say!
The latest in incident that comes under the "watch way you say in front of kids" category....
I left work early today and My Mum had kindly offered to pick me up in exchange for returning my son to me earlier than normal (She looks after him during the week when he's not at nursery or playgroup.)
On the way in she encountered a really bad driver and snapped "get out the way you silly woman!" Now, my Mum is not really the sort for losing her temper, and the little blighter reminded her of her outburst straight away by repeating it, then laughing his head off. Then repeating it and laughing even louder, continually doing so and getting quicker and quicker so that by the time I got picked up he was a gibbering wreck!
Unfortunately I laughed when it was explained to me and this set him off again.
Later in the evening he decided to return to one of my own verbal accidents. "Oh I can't get in this bloomin' car seat, this bloomin' hat won't fit me. I'm gonna throw away this bloomin' car...." Telling him that it was a naughty word didn't really have any affect. Threatening to take away his bloomin' toys if he didn't stop saying it did!!!

Dennis Rommedahl a Baggie?
Another classic blog post (this was posted shortly after the Poing Poing [below] post both in early June 2007)
Dennis Rommedahl a Baggie?
Anyone watching highlights of the football internationals last night may have probably picked up on the fact Dennis Rommedahl celebrated scoring by revealing a t-shirt with the words BOING BOING inked on.
Here is the piccy, do not ask me to translate the article - I have tried using transation tools already!
What a way to announce he is signing for the Brazil of the Midlands!!!
Okay, I have checked the rumour boards and there has been no mention of his impending baggieness, so it might have something to do with popular Danish tune called "BOING" by Nik and Jay. It is pretty catchy!!! Check it out here!

Poing Poing!!
I'f you've ever read my Total Client Marketing blog you may've noticed that I'm going to be switching off an old blog that sits on the Total Client Marketing site.
Well, having had a sentimental read through it I realised that one or two posts would be worth keeping and putting on here (i.e. they fit into the general context of OriginalMaJaTo.)
So, here's the first of them. Any other ones will carry the "classic old blog" label.
POING POING!!
Shouldn't that be BOING BOING!!? Well, yes and no!
If you're not a Baggies fan then you are probably not aware that the famous Boing Boing chant actually started life as a homage to a dodgy Dutch hardcore dance record called Poing by Rotterdam Termination Source.
