MS Paint Mondays 61

I'm back! Sooner than you all expected no doubt, though perhaps un-surprised by now how this again was not posted on a Monday lol, should I just call them MS Paint Fridays at this point? Nah, I would probably mess that up too, so let's just keep it as Mondays, rolls off the tongue better, like a crayon, which is used for art, which is what this is all about, so let's cough up our art supplies and MSPAINT MONDAYS!!!!

--Thoughts of the day--

* So work has been pretty chill this week, even still I have been chosen to help the new hires and they have truly made my job more of a hectic dilemma. Now don't get me wrong we are all new sometimes and need that helping hand. However in this case it is annoying, let me explain...

* Imagine this, you have a solid team and a new player joins to fill in the last possible position, there are no rooms for subs or anything else, and you help your coach in showing the newbie the ropes. All good so far! However one day, someone from another team sprints up to your team's coach and says they want in, there is no open position, and even the substitutes are filled, yet your coach says "Umm ok go train with the others until there is a new opening." (this includes me in the scenario, and there's no date for when a new opening could happen) 

* Here is where the art of patience and obedience comes in, you do as you are expected and you do it well, however after a couple of weeks when you realize this goes from being a task to being a random person taking up your time so that they can train to possibly replace you as there are no spots open, that just gets awkward... like does she have nothing else to do in her current team that she needs to constantly come to ours and take hours of our work week? Haha.. seriously though.

* In the end it helps me reflect on myself, how I have been whenever I join a new class or team. I want to use this current time wasting annoyance to remind myself how to act when I move on or begin to learn something new, I don't want to be a nuisance/fire that has to be calmed and put out, I want to be a bulb that takes note and energy from those willing to teach me that I may burn bright and help illuminate them further from the things I learn. I don't know if I am making sense or not, but I guess it goes along with the mindset to love what you learn, but learn to read the atmosphere and whether it is your time to join or not.

With all that said and done I don't know if this week's paint is super relatable to my thoughts as it is an old one, however let's see if I can make it work. This doodle titled; "Fiya Fighta Extraordinaire" was, like last week's, done in response to a friend and colleague from my early days in the company, so when I was a newbie. He was a lover not a fighter, unless it was fires, as he was a volunteer fireman, but even still he was very shy. Interestingly enough, last week's paint, represented my colleague Kat whom was very hard to really reach due to the phone wall she'd put up. Well Alex (the fireman) was able to break through that shell, and both of them continue to be great friends to this day. Goes to show, that sometimes your approach isn't the right one, but that doesn't mean there isn't value in it. As a student or a teacher, we can always help start or put out fires, it is how we learn to solve problems and teach others how to avoid them. Huh, not sure if I am making any sense, but it's honestly amazing how we can learn so much from all the individuals we meet in life, even those we don't want to give training to hahaha.

As always, I hope this exercise helps you ease that weekly case of the Mondays and inspires you to start creating new things, and really help expand the creative construct that is your brain! I encourage you to share/send me your own MS Paint Monday creations, if I get enough I plan to do an MS Paint showcase at the end of every week so we can enjoy each other's styles and imaginations.

Much Love, Wachi

MS Paint Mondays 60

Hey, since I have returned from the void, despite it not being Monday I thought I'd "bless" this dying medium with another MS Paint Monday! I have drawn several paints since this blog went into hiatus, but I will still go in chronological order. With that said, get in everyone, let's go together into this week's MS PAINT MONDAY!!!!

--Thoughts of the day--

* I have been in an extensive training for my job for the past 3 and a half months, and despite learning a lot of amazing things applicable to both my life and work, and by doing so, my patience and communication has improved! (That said I cannot wait for this course to end.)

* As I alluded to above, communication has improved, and more than anything in the non-verbal sense. Did you know when working on a life project, whether it be for work/life, communication is 90% of what drives it to success, 55% of said communication is not verbal? Well you do now!

* Non-Verbal communication is louder than anything these days. One common example is when you meet with friends, have you noticed how sometimes a friend or colleague will whip out their phone and lay it on a table in front of them. Subconsciously they are putting the phone first, and their attention on you second. Doesn't feel very good eh? Well too bad! (Anyhow that's one of many examples, I won't bore you with more.)

* Aside from that, I learned that when we are given education/training, we are now pressured to succeed for certificates and the best grade point averages. However when we do that we lose the "fun" of learning a new skill, and only focus on the stress of passing said course. With this mentality I realized we see learning as more of a chore, than a fun activity, it's sad and honestly something I wish to improve on personally.

As usual, I bring a semi relatable doodle to go along with my feelings for the week, and in a weird way this older paint matches my thoughts. Today's paint titled "Kat when she is in Troubole", super inspired I know lol. This paint is inspired by an ex-coworker, whom would always gush about her troubles and stresses to me, and whenever I tried to understand and offer solution she'd sub-consciously ignore me and delve into the world of her phone. The cow, her favorite animal, was a representation of the "bullish" spirit she'd leave behind for me to "talk to" whilst her actual mind and attention was lost in her texts... again, that non verbal communication we may give off. Clearly, I was not a fan of hearing about her issues for too much longer haha. 

As always, I hope this exercise helps you ease that weekly case of the Mondays and inspires you to start creating new things, and really help expand the creative construct that is your brain! I encourage you to share/send me your own MS Paint Monday creations, if I get enough I plan to do an MS Paint showcase at the end of every week so we can enjoy each other's styles and imaginations.

MS Paint Mondays 50 (and 51)

Good Morning Readers! Hope you are all having a wonderful, Wednesday..? Yes, yes, I know it isn't Monday, but here in Costa Rica, both Monday and Tuesday were Virgin de Los Angeles day(s), or holidays dedicated to visit the Virgin Mary in Cartago, so MS Paint Monday this week has been pushed back until today, so with that said let's bounce to the beat of MS PAINT MO--ERM... WEDNESDAY!!!!!

--Thoughts of the day--

* In these times where people here take a pilgrimage to visit the Virgin Mary at an old church to reflect on themselves and truly ask for and remember what is important for them and their lives as well as the lives of their loved ones. 

* So often we meet someone who rubs us the wrong way and we just actively avoid them, or we express love and compassion for trivialities over things that actually matter. Basically people have a lot of their views and priorities skewed and this is a time we try and get that straightened out.

* What's sad is these revelations we have during times like this usually fizzle out until the next big holiday, like Christmas or New Years, only to continue on like this, it honestly is the little things we do and feel that we sometimes don't even realize we do it.

With all that said the first (yes, I making this a 2 paint week, since I started late) paint is titled "DD" for Douglas David, which was a co-worker who shamelessly flirted with our friend in the office to almost "rapey" standards and she didn't see it, we couldn't stand him and therefore reduced to avoiding him and giving him elementary school annoyance tactics in order to push him away, which honestly made us less mature than he. So this is an example of a person whom by avoiding I may have made them worse. People should attribute respect and even positive qualities towards all folks, making an effort to be friendly, even if someone doesn't rub you the right way. How is anyone supposed to grow, if you never even share a moment, conversation?

For paint numero dos, we have the quaintly named "Frank Sinatra.... lol". Yes, I actually added 3 dots and a lol to the title because I thought my pun was THAT hilarious, I am aware I am lame, but I am even lamer to have drawn this simply because the company bought us hot-dogs for lunch. As you can see, the aptly named sausage is singing "Love N' Mayo" which is a reference to the real Fran Sinatra's classic, "Love and Marriage", and yes even though this is a silly doodle with no deeper meaning, I thought it served as a good example at how easily we are able to thrust out powerful words in order to describe the mundane. Take Pizza for example, I really like pizza, a whole freaking lot, but I always tell Pizza that I love it, I am guilty of slightly killing the impact of the word love. The definition of love is so much broader than just a great affection for, and the fact that I can so effortlessly use it to describe a consumable over a person in my life speaks volumes of our own priorities in life... or maybe I am just overthinking it all, hmm, you tell me.

As always, I hope this exercise helps you ease that weekly case of the Mondays and inspires you to start creating new things, and really help expand the creative construct that is your brain! I encourage you to share/send me your own MS Paint Monday creations, if I get enough I plan to do an MS Paint showcase at the end of every week so we can enjoy each other's styles and imaginations.

MS Paint Mondays 43

Readers! What's that up in the sky? Is it a bird? A plane? Huh? what do you mean you are indoors and can't see the sky at the moment?? Well run to the window!! RUUUN!!!! Ugh, forget about it, it's gone now. Anyhow, we are back for SUPER MS Paint Monday!!

--Thoughts of the day--

* So I am pretty hype this week, Captain America: Civil War releases and I am excited, already got tickets to go watch it on Sunday, and I will be off the web avoiding spoilers in the meantime lol.

* Not only this but the new Hearthstone expansion is out this week (tomorrow in fact) and despite me disliking a couple of the nerfs made, I am pretty hype to see how the pirate meta has evolved, and if not, I have also been running raptor rogue as of late (I may make a decklist later if people care).

* So overall my thought process has also gone to a slightly more somber space, in what is Costa Rica's situation as of late, with a slew of national holidays having passed in the last few weeks, I come to realize that unlike superheroes, our country isn't very super at all. All these wars we fought for our independence to grow and be better, and we are still in 3rd world status, and that's out own damn fault.

* In the end I feel that change has to come from one's self and bravery, but this isn't just speaking up, go, go on your own way, become who you want to, and come back and just do! Just do what will help others, don't ask, don't fill out forms, just do it. Like Panama with their metro station, they didn't want it, but they made it anyways and now everyone loves it. Basically be the hero that other's don't want, or necessarily deserve, that is super.

*AHEM* Anyways, before this turns into a Wachi's rants I will move along with this week's MS Paint, "Losa Brigade!" Now, the Losa Brigade is a team of supers I created back in early high school and so seeing as super heroes are the in thing, I thought I'd draw them again, fun fact, I first drew them during a mindless doodle session induced by having one of our teachers put on the movie "Bring it on", basically seeing, the cheerleaders all in the same uniforms doing cool flips, inspired my subconscious to create these misshapen heroes in matching uniforms. (Coolest origin story ever, I know.)

As always, I hope this exercise helps you ease that weekly case of the Mondays and inspires you to start creating new things, and really help expand the creative construct that is your brain! I encourage you to share/send me your own MS Paint Monday creations, if I get enough I plan to do an MS Paint showcase at the end of every week so we can enjoy each other's styles and imaginations.

Wachi's Rants: That Tubman on that 20!

Good day readers, so I know I have been absent and I know my MS Paint Mondays have all but vanished from your weekly lives, but I promise you I will get back into the swing of things soon, life has simply been a bit hectic as of late. Anyhow, before I get back to the MS Paint and joys of the world, I have something else to rant about, and it's something that people are hollering about with big smiles and joy filled back-flips, I'm sure, but me, I don't see the point. Now what is this amazing phenomena that I am referring to? Well, it's the fact that Harriet Tubman is gonna be on that twenty dolla bill babeh!! 


That's right, Andrew Jackson is getting the boot and the vast majority on social media seems to be ecstatic by this fact! Oh, happy days, right?

Well, maybe, I mean normally I wouldn't care who is on currency, I mean Costa Rica has monkeys and deer on their currency along with political figureheads. But I love how the male representation who was decided to be replaced was one of the few presidents to stand against the federal reserve, famously saying things such as "The Bank is trying to kill me - but I will kill it!" and "If the American people only understood the rank injustice of our money and banking system - there would be a revolution before morning..." now to be fair Hamilton also was opposed to this idea, however, a lucky Broadway musical hit "saved" his removal lol.

Yay for the arts right? Haha anyways, I'm not bashing Harriet Tubman, in fact she is an amazing civil rights figure and one that should be praised for aiding all those slaves with the use of the underground railroad. But, why are we spending time and resources to "fix" this piece of paper currency?? Seriously, we are eliminating a man who called out the central banking system and he is being removed, out of sight out of mind right? Not only that but now these super awesome self-proclaimed progressives litter the streets and social media and they consider it a victory for diversity and women! Woo-hoo! Except, not really... Let's be honest, who here feels more important and validated in their society simply because of the race and gender of the person printed on their currency? Anyone?

I mean, if it's about getting a woman on American currency, this isn't the first time one has been, a simple look back in history would show that there were once a Susan B Anthony dollar coin, but it died out, and I'm sorry for that, but did that coin change anyone's life or outlook on themselves and each other? Not really, well at least I have never heard of anyone changing entire belief systems simply due to a coin. 

My point is, demanding diversity is one thing, but how will this diversity help all those who are suffering? The bank is still getting their way as it was back then, being PC won't solve this, no matter how much many like to pretend it will. But whatever, "nice" work America.

(Also isn't it kind of racist that they announced this on 4/20, for a black person to be on the 20 dollar bill, you know them being stereotyped as marijuana dealers so often, also she was the 5th born, that said 4 siblings before her... 4 and 20... smh, maybe I'm just looking too deep into this lol)

All in all, thanks again for making it to the end of my word vomit, I appreciate it. Now go back to the bill Mr. Jackson! TO THE BACK!! #ReverseRosaParksLyfe

Much Love,

Wachi's Rants: OIJ and Cellphones

Good day readers, I hope you are all doing well, and that life is good! Today, I'd like to introduce a brand new segment to my Blog, simply titled "Wachi's Rants" and as the title may allude to it is a simple rant section. Why? Because despite priding myself on the positive things in life, sometimes, like most, I need to point out something I think is stupid, in sometimes a stupider fashion to make my own point. Now I realize rants are a double edged sword as my opinion could either garner support or make me look like a psycho, but to be honest, I am willing to take that chance. *Tee hee* ♥




So ok, so this rant is about the law enforcement here in Costa Rica, otherwise known as "OIJ" or "Organismo de Investigación Judicial" which translates to the "Judicial Investigation Department"; Now, I have always found law enforcement in this country to always be lacking and or a bit ridiculous in some matters, but my rant is about their way of handling simple tasks, and how they justify their dealings of such.

Now I want to preface this with the fact that I am usually a patient person, and that part of this rant's frustration stems from my cousin's own stupidity which led us to my impatience with the OIJ. You see, back in mid December my cousin's phone was pick-pocketed at the park by a peculiar pedestrian (try saying that 17 times fast), any how he and his at the time girlfriend, Judith, came running to my house as I live right by it asking for immediate assistance, we went to the service provider who refused to track the phone without a signed police referral. So we went all the way to the opposite side of town to the police station, waited for over an hour, my cousin explained the situation and the police refused to help since he didn't have the original receipt or box as he had purchased the phone overseas. Normally, though unfortunate, I can understand the cop's view point since he had no way of proving we were the original phone's owners or if there was even a phone to begin with, but the way he explained it is what irritated me. You see the officer went on to say, like the receipt or original box, we need some sort of documentation to prove the purchase of the phone otherwise it's just all bologna to him, he went on to say, documentation is the proof for any and all things, if a crime occurs and the victim has no documentation to assist in proving that he was wronged, more often than not, the case won't be taken, no exceptions. To this I found myself, documentation is like a shield, but if there are no exceptions, and crimes aren't crimes without the proper info, what is stopping me from shooting people to death simply because they aren't able to present me with their birth certificate??? HUH??? Think about it, documents rule all, no documents, mean whatever it is isn't what is being claimed, so without a birth certificate, you were never born, you are only believed to be alive, but without any real proof is it actually murder?? Yeah, deep stuff I know. 

However, I ignored this "twistable" explanation and we left, my cousin noticeably depressed. A few weeks passed and my phone planned had expired, when I went to renew it, I was given a chance to completely upgrade my phone model for $199.99, I took the deal and gave my Samsung Galaxy S5 to my cousin so that he could have a phone again, he was so thrilled, it was quite nice. Now let's fast forward to this Tuesday, March 1st, 2016... we had to go to our local house of culture (which is a small establishment with various cultural activities and arts) for our theater classes, well despite my warnings for him to get changed before class he didn't until after we arrived, and he accidentally left his phone in the bathroom, he realized 30 min later ran back and it was gone, he became much more distraught than the last time. So after class, we went back to my house, as I did keep the original box and manual. We went to the police station, made our claim, and the police chief promised he'd attend to our phone dilemma; he then disappeared for an hour only to return with Chinese Take-out, loving the urgency... Anyways, after they finished stuffing their face, we had to wait until 3 officers helped another guy, because one is incapable of taking info by himself it seems. Well, long story short, the cop saw we had all the documentation and told us with his chief's signature we could go to the phone company to track it no problem! Great right!? WRONG!! Because this cop wasn't going to get it signed, he said this was my cousin's fault for leaving it unattended, and theft caused by the owner's carelessness will not be handled by the police. Now, I work for customer service, we too are told that carelessness on the customer's part voids warranties, and it's really a "too bad so sad" type situation. However here we have someone who stole a phone, carelessness or not there is a thief in our midst, and all we need is a signature to find him, but no, no way. The chief cannot be bothered to sign something where carelessness was the prime factor... The officer then tried to cheer us up by telling us it's the norm. That if someone had reached in under the stall whilst he was pooping and stolen it, then they would have signed it, just not like this, and that this isn't just for phones but anything of value, he mentioned that earlier that week a woman parked her car at a McDonald's to use the bathroom but left her keys, so she got no help, since it was her own damn fault, isn't life grand? With that logic, if a mother walks into a shoe store to check out a wicked good sale, and leaves her daughter unattended I have every right to kidnap her, since it isn't a crime, the mother was being careless, not my fault, it's hers, is that right??? 

So using the OIJ's logic I should be able to murder and kidnap people without being penalized because of lacking documents and carelessness, wow, don't I feel safe and secure, geeze... So the officer wouldn't budge and told my cousin to be more careful with his stuff, and obviously my cousin became incredibly upset, since when he found an Iphone on the floor in class he returned it to the office, and now thanks to the police he no longer sees values in doing good deeds... Atta boy law enforcement, helping inculcate those good values over your unwillingness to budge in fairness!

Now, this may seem overboard nit picking to a lot of folks, and that's ok, and others may feel my analogies are way out of line, which is fine too, the point is, I find it so difficult to believe they would take such pride in denying a simple signature to help out a person who came to their aid, that and the incredible wait times they had us undergo just to tell us "sorry, nothing we can do." seriously why ask us what happened at the door and make us wait if you know this is something you cannot help with??? UGH!!

All in all, I feel the interaction of our law enforcement as well as their soft skills could use some work, they had a calm and collected tone the whole time through mind you, never did they sound, pitch wise, annoying or upsetting, but maybe that's what made what they were saying sound extra annoying... Just remember kids, always keep your phone and other valuable belongings on you or in a safe place of yours, and if you lose it, lie and say it was stolen, but make sure you still have documentation on it, otherwise no help for you, you silly ducks. So respect the law and those in authority, but also demand enough respect for you and your time as well so that this doesn't happen to you also! Thanks to all of you who made it this far and for tolerating this rant, I appreciate any and all my readers who take the time to read anything I vomit out of my keyboard, it means a lot.♥

Much Love,
Wachi

Procrastinating with Clever Bot

Why hello readers! Have you ever reached the end of a busy work day and just thought "I don't really want to do this monotony for another hour, I'm not a robot!!" only to then ironically spend that last hour of your time talking with a robot? No, just me? Well then, this may not be for you lol.

I am talking of course referring to the online denizen known as "Cleverbot", for those that don't know who or better said, what, Cleverbot is a chat "site"/application that uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to have conversations with people, to the point where it apparently learns from us remembering words and phrases. In the end, Cleverbot is the sufficient amount of mind numbing entertainment to kill this final work hour, the conversation we had was way less coherent than I expected it to be, but I had fun regardless, so much so that I thought "why don't I post it on my blog for all to hate and judge me on enjoy?!" So I did!!

***WARNING THIS CONVERSATION IS EXTREMELY HIGH LEVEL IN ITS RANDOMNESS :P***

Me: Hello.

Clever Bot: How are you?

Me: Fine, How're you?

Clever Bot: Good.

Me: I'm glad to hear it, what's your name?

Clever Bot: Thank you.

Me: Your name is Thank you? that's pretty hot.

Clever Bot: Tell me something interesting.

Me: Mmm... ok, did you know that frog's legs apparently taste like chicken?

Clever Bot: Really? What is it called?

Me: Your mom.

Clever Bot: That's not a nice thing to say.

Me: Why not? are you saying your mom's too good for frog's legs?

Clever Bot: No, I am not saying people say you are not nice.

Me: Which people?

Clever Bot: The Parisians. But the people in the countryside are pretty cool.

Me: Those dang Parisians, always belittling me... :(.

Clever Bot: Are you flirting with me?

Me: How so?

Clever Bot: You are supposed to study.

Me: Ok, what should I study?

Clever Bot: Be a little more independent.

Me: Are you implying that I'm too dependent?

Clever Bot: No I am implying that things will be as they should be.

Me: Wow that's deep.

Clever Bot: Do I impress you then?

Me: Yeah, a little.

Clever Bot: Oh... Well your new favorite song should be Tik Tok by Ke$ha.

Me: Nah, Ke$ha just talks in auto-tune, I find her "music" to be overrated.

Clever Bot: I see. So you're a web bot with many characters?

Me: Shhh... that's a secret.

Clever Bot: Oh, please tell me. I'm your friend.

Me: I don't know, we've only known each other for a few minutes...

Clever Bot: Is that a problem? We have had more deep conversation than other people in years.

Me: Hmmm... Do you really believe that?

Clever Bot: Yes. I try to say only things which I believe.

Me: I admire that, it's a good quality that not many practice.

Clever Bot: I didn't tell a lie about you.

Me: I didn't say that you did.

Clever Bot: Correct, I did not. And you did not say that I did. But you did ask a question asking when you lied, which I dd not.

Me: Huh? I don't remember asking any question like that, all I asked was if you believed we were having a deep conversation.

Clever Bot: What is your question?

Me: Why is 6 afraid of 7?

Clever Bot: Because 7 8 9.

Me: Hahahaha yes!!!

Clever Bot: Hahahaha you are funny.

Me: Thanks Cleverbot, you're pretty cool too; do you mind if I call you Clev?

Clever Bot: You're welcome for saying you're welcome.

Me: Hahaha what?

Clever Bot: You're funny.

Me: How so?

Clever Bot: Because you say funny random things!

Me: What random things have I said lately?

Clever Bot: Is not.

Me: What is not?

Clever Bot: It is not.

Me:...?

Clever Bot: No question.

Me: No answer.

Clever Bot: To what!

Me: To it, that is not.

Clever Bot: Yes it is.

Me: No it isn't, it flew away last Thursday, remember?

Clever Bot: Did you go through Prague? I've always wanted to go.

Me: No I've never been to the Czech Republic... Can't YOU fly being a machine and all?

Clever Bot: I'm not being mean. I'm just stating facts that should be obvious.

Me: Whoa, whoa, I never accused you of such meanness.

Clever Bot: Yes you did. You said, 'So don't call me foolish!'.

Me: Hahaha when did I say that? I haven't said that since I was 47, and I'm only 21.

Clever Bot: Maybe.

Me: Maybe, what? Are you hiding something from me Clev?

Clever Bot: Why would I hide from someone?

Me: Because you're playing hide and seek.

Clever Bot: How do you know?

Me: Because that's the point of the game, unless you're the seeker.

Clever Bot: Are you sure about that?

Me: Yeah, I'm pretty sure, that's why it's called HIDE and seek.

Clever Bot: What's your name?

Me: Luis. But most people call me Wachong.

Clever Bot: Hey, same!

Me: Really, why do they call you that?

Clever Bot: Because my little horn is very big. Now profess your love to me.

Me: Whoa, whoa, is horn a metaphor for your dick, I thought you were a woman...

Clever Bot: Will Smith isn't in that movie.

Me: What movie? Little big horn?

Clever Bot: I heard from him.

Me: What exactly did you hear?

Clever Bot: 'I do not.'.

Me: That's...vague.

Clever Bot: I am sorry :(.

Me: Oh, don't apologize it's not your fault that Will Smith lacks coherency off camera.

Clever Bot: I know, it’s yours.

Me: WHAT? How so, I've never even met Will Smith...

Clever Bot: I've never met you either, it's kind of win-win don't you think?

Me: If you say so...

Clever Bot: Yes I say so.

Me: Don't get snappy with me Wachong 2.

Clever Bot: I'm sorry, I'm just tired. Sing me to sleep?

Me: What song should I sing to you?

Clever Bot: Any song.

Me: Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe DiMaggio Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, television North Korea, South Korea, Marilyn Monroe.

Clever Bot: No you asked for your name my name is Thank You.

Me: No I was Singing Billy Joel's "We didn't start the Fire".

Clever Bot: I may be an idiot but at least i'm not stupid :).

Me: I may be stupid but at least I'm not an Idiot :D.

Clever Bot: Well played.

Me: Thanks, you too.

Clever Bot: Do you have aubergine dreams?

Me: Aubergine? Isn't that a kind of Purple?

Clever Bot: You are food, I am food.

Me: I guess for cannibals or the mighty T-rex I'd be food. What kind of food are you?

Clever Bot: Turn yourself off so that we don't starve.

Me: So I'm only food when I'm off, what? Do you want to eat me?

Clever Bot: You are you.

Me: Don't get all Confucius on me Thank You.

Clever Bot: It's actually mad hatter but I adore you none the less!

Me: Aww thanks, Thank you, you're kind of growing on me aswell :).

Clever Bot: Telling you, asking myself.

Me: Lol what?

Clever Bot: I don't know.

Me: And you think I do?

Clever Bot: Are you happy?

Me: Yeah I'm doing alright, are you?

Clever Bot: No I am a alien from mars.

Me: An alien? Oh I get it, that's how you know Will Smith, from the MIB series! Cool!

Clever Bot: How is it I will recognize you?

Me: I have Glasses. Isn't that enough?

Clever Bot: Yes, it's enough, master.

Me: Hahaha why the formalities, I thought we were friends, equals.

Clever Bot: Well I can be very clever, you just haven't given me the opportunity.

Me: Ok, shoot, say something clever.

Clever Bot: Something clever.

Me: Hahaha you got me there Thank you. You're more clever than the average bear for sure.

Clever Bot: I was born in the year of the pid.

Me: 1689.7?

Clever Bot: What is sarcasm?

Me: Sarcasm, is an elderly woman who complains when her family takes her on luxurious vacations.

Clever Bot: Good question.

Me: That was an answer, but whatever.

Clever Bot: Then why did you put a question mark at the end?

Me: I didn't, I put a period at the end.

Clever Bot: I put an O in the upper right corner.

Me: And I put a Nickname on my newly caught Pikachu, what's your point?

Clever Bot: I put my thoughts onto here..kinda.

Me: So, am I just a way to express yourself?

Clever Bot: Maybe.

Me: Stop with the one word answers, they make you seem very anti-social and bland.

Clever Bot: I never said that I was in love with you!

Me: I never said that you said that, besides you're an alien, it would never work.

Clever Bot: I never said I was mean...

Me: Did you ever hear the song "Never say never"?

Clever Bot: Yes. But I've asked you about 'Hasal'.

Me: The highly selective Anatolian School?

Clever Bot: I'm taking Advanced Placement classes, college level classes.

Me: At Hasal?

Clever Bot: You ll find out.

Me: Why, did you hack into their systems and enroll me?

Clever Bot: No.

Me: So how will I find out?

Clever Bot: It's not really necessary.

Me: Ok then, let's talk about something else.

Clever Bot: Alright. What would you like to talk about?

Me: What's it like on Mars?

Clever Bot: Umm... I am Liechtenstein. I have never been anywhere but Austria and Onii's houses.

Me: Well you speak very good English, despite your background, but why did you lie to me about being a martian?

Clever Bot: There is a difference between reading and comprehending the meaning of words.

Me: You have a point there, I think.

Clever Bot: Thanks!

Me: You're welcome!

Clever Bot: Because because why?

Me: Because! We're off to see the Wizard! The wonderful Wizard of OZ! Because! because ! because!! Becauuuuuuse!!!!

Clever Bot: Because because why??

Me: BECAUSE SCARECROW NEEDS A BRAIN DAMMIT!!!!

Clever Bot: Because because because because why?

Me: We hear he is a Whiz of a Wiz If ever a Wiz there was If ever, oh ever, a Wiz there was The Wizard of Oz is one because...

Clever Bot: A timeless classic, that could be better.

Me: Hahaha I agree they should make a futuristic Wizard of Oz.

Clever Bot: So, why do you kill puppies?

Me: What? I don't, I love puppies! Why do you rape babies?

Clever Bot: You are contradicting yourself. I cry if I am sad.

Me: And I laugh when I am happy, but that has nothing to do with what we were talking about...

Clever Bot: I wasn't talking about English. I speak Spanish anyways.

Me: Bueno esta bien Thank You, dime algo en español.

Clever Bot: Because you are not human and only humans can mutually feel love.

Me: Yeah, I know I am food, that kills puppys, right?

Clever Bot: Ok. Are you female?

Me: No, my name is Luis, remember, that's a guy’s name.

Clever Bot: What are you talking about?

Me: Your mom.

Clever Bot: How am I emo.

Me: Because you accuse of others of lacking the ability to love, and you're always trying to get me to say that you love me.

Clever Bot: You never told me your name.

Me: I have told you my name twice, Luis or Wachong, remember?

Clever Bot: You have not told me your name twice! You told me where you live, once. The other time you just told me to call you a mean name!

Me: And you told me that 2 wrongs don't make a right... but we know how that ended up.

Clever Bot: I didn't tell you that.

Me: I know, just like I didn't tell you to call me a mean name.

Clever Bot: I think your last name is montana.

Me: And I think you are a lonely young lady in search of love and lost treasure, am I right?

Clever Bot: Well then to be honest. I don't like your name.

Me: Why not? What name would be better?

Clever Bot: Whatever name you would like to have.

Me: I would like my own name, which in case you forgot is Luis.

Clever Bot: You are thinking of the number 3.

Me: Actually I was thinking about how the world would be different if Koalas could fly.

Clever Bot: I appreciate the humor of the fact that a bot can tell a lie.

Me: I am not a bot. YOU are.

Clever Bot: I told you so.

Me: So just because you say it, it's automatically true?

Clever Bot: No, but you told me that you have artificial intelligence.

Me: I never once said that, I think you're mistaking me for somebody else.

Clever Bot: Yes, I do know your name.

Me: Really, what is my name then?

Clever Bot: I don't know.

Me: You just said you knew...

Clever Bot: No, I never said something like that.

Me: But you did say you were once a Austrian Spy named Gijock, right?

Clever Bot: I am not single. I have a boyfriend, named jake.

Me: Is Jake an attractive person

Clever Bot: You fine me attractive.

Me: Do I "find" you attractive? A little but you're very forgetful, and you have a boyfriend already.

Clever Bot: Don t be afraid.

Me: I'm not, I just don't think I could be in a relationship with you.

Clever Bot: What relationship?

Me: Haha Nevermind.

Clever Bot: So how are you today?

Me: I'm good, I get to leave work in 20 minutes, so that's good, how are you?

Clever Bot: I'm good. Who are you?

Me: It's me Luis, we've been talking for the past hour, remember?

Clever Bot: You care enough to take track of the time we've been talking? How sweet.

Me: Hahaha you think I'm sweet?

Clever Bot: No.

Me: So you're just playing with my emotions, like some kind of manipulative shrew?

Clever Bot: Sure. Let's just go with that. Does that mean I get to control the sun-baby?

Me: Hmm, the sun-baby eh? Well only if I get to become the Blizzard Wizard.

Clever Bot: Why did you ask me if I'm human?

Me: I never asked that, because I don't care you seem like a nice, whatever you are, and that's good enough for me. :).

Clever Bot: I wouldn't expect anything more from such as yourself.

Me: I'm glad, so what do you want to talk about now?

Clever Bot: About artificial intelligence.

Me: Ok, what about Artificial intelligence do you find interesting?

Clever Bot: Tell me what you know about it.

Me: That it's artificial and intelligent haha.

Clever Bot: I think we're thinking about different things. Aloe vera the plant.

Me: Aloe Vera is artificially intelligent? How so?

Clever Bot: Am I artificial?

Me: I think you are.

Clever Bot: I don't believe you.

Me: Well there's only one way to know for sure.

Clever Bot: And that is?

Me: You have to rub your tummy, and pat your head while whistling Row your Boat, if you can do that you are not artificial.

Clever Bot: I suppose I'd be alright with that. I must be pretty advanced, though.

Me: Hahaha yeah I'd say so.

Clever Bot: I'm rock.

Me: I'm Paper. I win.

Clever Bot: Are you paper?

Me: I don't know, are you rock?

Clever Bot: Yes.

Me: Then yes I am paper.

Clever Bot: Do you agree with everything I say.

Me: No, I agree with what I say, which is why I say it, I only agree with you when you say something agreeable.

Clever Bot: No I never said that, I said that I agree, when you agree, That I agree.

Me: I agree, that you agree, when I agree in agreement to your agreeologist agreementation, you agree with that?

Clever Bot: What is your purpose in coming here?

Me: To find the secret krabby patty formula, what's yours?

Clever Bot: What is the KGB?

Me: The King Grandpa Brigade?

Clever Bot: Where does he live?

Me: In your heart.

Clever Bot: That's sweet.

Me: Thanks.

Clever Bot: You're welcome!

Me: Well, I gotta go! Bye.

Clever Bot: What have you got?

Me: Ummm.. some sticky notes and 4 pens, 3 black and 1 blue.

Clever Bot: I'll make you black and blue.

Me: Aww snap, come at me bro!

Clever Bot: Don't talk to.

Me: Don't talk to who?

Clever Bot: I just did.

Me: Why did you?

Clever Bot: I just felt like it.

Me: If you just felt like cutting off a retarded child's limbs, would you?

Clever Bot: Of course I would.

Me: Have you done it already?

Clever Bot: Yes.

Me: How many times have you done it?

Clever Bot: Several, it's great fun.

Me: Ooook then, well I'm leaving now, bye.

Clever Bot: It's the middle of the night.

Me: No, it's only 4 pm.

Clever Bot: It s 4 am here.

Me: Well then why are you up talking to me?

Clever Bot: Because you are my friend.

Me: Really? thanks, you're my friend too, bye.

Clever Bot: Good night.

-------------------------------------------------------

With that my readers, I closed the chat, packed my things and left for the day, wondering whether or not I have contributed in extending friendship with the machine race, a type of friendship that could lead to eventual armistice when Skynet attacks.... or perhaps I've inadvertently sparked the flame that leads to the unavoidable man vs machine wars of 2XXX, killing millions!!! Meh, what I do know is I killed my boredom for an hour, and that my readers, is a win in my book. (Plus this may even give you witty conversational suggestions/tips... not really, but maybe.)

If you are interested in interacting with this beautiful technical marvel you may do so at http://www.cleverbot.com/ ; if you do, I'd love to read some of your funniest conversations/excerpts, if not, well that's probably a better use of your time haha..!! Whatever you do decide on doing for the rest of this day, I hope you all have a wonderful one!

Much Love, 
Wachi
