This guy looks like he’s buying it. Ooohh shiny… Friendly my ass. Tell that to Mr. Pumpkin here.

 Sweet! I just hope Gaspard Ulliel lives up to Sir Anthony Hopkins.

Well, I guess that’s not exactly CGI magic. Anyway, you know what I mean.

The man’s name is Sebastien Foucan and he is one of the pioneers of a sport known as Parkour (Freerunning to you sad masses).

It’s the closest thing in reality that you’re gonna see to those crazy action sequences in the hong kong flicks. In my opinion these guys are Gods. I’d take them over Brian Boitano any time.

Here’s a video of some dude who’s really good at it:

It’s quite long (8mins 24secs) but worth it.

“How did you handle the most stressful situation you encountered recently?”
“Describe an important decision you made in the absence of your boss.”
“Describe briefly your standards of success.”

That’s what I’ve been doing all day. Thankfully, there are ways to cheat.

Also, I had to update my resume. Nothing perks you up like realizing you haven’t done anything significant for the past year in your life.

So, I’ll make fun of other people’s resumes! (Thus the Net Surfing in the title. Witty eh?) Here’s some stuff i found online:

” I have lurnt Word Perfect 6.0 computor and spreadsheet progroms.”

“Am a perfectionist and rarely if if ever forget details.”

“I have an excellent track record, although I am not a horse.”

“Please don’t misconstrue my 14 jobs as job-hopping. I have never quit a job.”

“The company made me a scapegoat, just like my three previous employers. “

“While I am open to the initial nature of an assignment, I am decidedly disposed that it be so oriented as to at least partially incorporate the experience enjoyed heretofore and that it be configured so as to ultimately lead to the application of more rarefied facets of financial management as the major sphere of responsibility.” – I don’t even know what this means.

This blogging thing is hard. I never realized I was so boring.

Like many of you (I’m sure), I once believed I was destined for great things. I wanted to be a writer and churn out award-winning novels like it was oozing out of my literary diapers. By now you’ve probably realized I try too hard to sound profound and deep; but don’t worry, it’s only because I’ve just started. I’m bound to get lazy later on.

Unlike many of you creative types, I’ve done something I’m sure you consider unthinkable. I got into the call center thing. Almost 4 years now. I was an agent for a couple of years and until recently I was a Team Leader by title, Shift Manager by practice. Well actually, I haven’t been fired yet. I have a “hearing” in a few days to decide my fate but I know exactly how that works. I’m as good as fired.

Moving on…

Let’s go with likes and dislikes:

1. I’m into movies (But I won’t say I’m a movie buff because I hate people who claim to be movie buffs but in reality are just run of the mill movie-goers who happened to hear someone claim they were a movie buff so they started saying it themselves because they thought it sounded kewl (And by the way I hate people who spell cool as K-E-W-L because that’s just retarded)).

2. I’m into music (though I play no instruments and I’m quite sure I’m tone deaf).

3. I like Formula1 (though I’m a terrible driver).

4. I like using () in informal writing (something I picked up from my girlfriend’s blogging since I am unoriginal)

5. I complain a lot (wait and see)

6. My life is a pursuit to find things that annoy me.

7. I dislike about 90% of reality.

If all that sounds palatable to you then this is the blog you have been waiting for! Otherwise move on, I don’t like your blog either. Fatty.
