How do you volunteers do it?

You've got day jobs and other things in your life you've got to contend with, and you still turn up and run the show like you've done Bloggers' Conferences all your lives. Damned good lor!

Next time got international bloggers' conferences, you all have to volunteer again.

I was so excited about the whole thing, I didn’t know what to say to so many peo­ple who came, chat­ted, and went and chat­ted with other bloggers.

Plus I did so lit­tle for the Con­fer­ence, I feel ter­ri­bly guilty. All I did was call Mindef to activate Daryl so I could take over the legal panel's segment, which was the best fun I've had in public in a long time. (Last time was when I had to take a dump on a traffic island in Loyang because there were no toilets to be found. Sorry, bougainvillea cluster, you been browned.)

And what about Robert Goh being outed? Thank you Sun­day Times! Anonyminin­ity is for cow­ards! We are gonna run pho­tographs of press reporters queue­ing to inter­view bloggers!

So hor, since I’m so late (as usual) in writ­ing about Bloggers.SG, I'll stop here now. Dowan peo­ple to call me Chan­nel Newslater.

Now, back to real life in meatspace and its attendant stuff to blog about.

TODAY: Chip off the blog, 20 July 2005

Excerpt:

And, oh, to meet bloggers whose faces we've not known in real life, now that was a treat. Blogger Sarong Party Girl (www.sarongpartygirl.blogspot.com) turned up after the Sunday Times reporters left, which is a pity. Because, if they had stayed on, they might have had the chance to witness that the Sarong Party Girl without her sarong is still pretty much a Party Girl.

P.S. Thank you Serene and Melissa for a fine job in Dig­i­tal Life’s cov­er­age of the Con. Sun­day Times peo­ple, learn from them can?

    It appears the blog­ger con­fer­ence was not as bor­ing as is claimed. Any­how that’s how a bystander would con­clude from the vul­gar­i­ties in this blog:

    I do not think it is ok at all.

    I don’t know, but since when has it become OK to flash parts of your body around? It is right for the teenage girls read­ing blogs to think that flash­ing their breasts can bring them instant fame? Should breasts, the life-giving body parts that babies suckle life of out, be taken as a tools for atten­tion whor­ing, for mak­ing lech­er­ous men look at you?

    It is one thing for a young, and maybe naive girl to behave as if her body is a cheap atten­tion grab­bing tool. Maybe she has not expe­ri­enced life enough, maybe she has not thought this through.

    But it is another for males sur­round­ing the girl to wolf-whistle, to encour­age her to take off more clothes!

    For what? For YOUR OWN FUCKING PLEASURE. For you want to wank to her breasts, you want that nice feel­ing when your own self­ish penis hard­ens. So you can imag­ine her in the dark room of yours, rub­bing your­selves against bol­sters, think­ing of her as a sex object, lips around your mem­ber. Did you treat her as a human with feel­ings, or just an empty vagina for you to plunge your penis into?

    You self­ish bas­tards. If she were your younger sis­ter, or your girl­friend, would you do the same and encour­age her to keep strip­ping for free? Tell me in the face YES, and I accept your excuse that it is for “art”. Art my ass.

    Pigs. Men. I look down on all of you there.

    Why do I not see guys say­ing that her behav­iour is some­thing shame­less and cheap? I would have respected the soli­tary guy that told the facts as clearly as the emperor is naked. It is. It is no glo­ri­ous act to peel off your straps in a room, press your breasts against an attached man, and allow the world to take pho­tos. I do not think it is the right behav­iour, but why isn’t any­one agree­ing with me? What are your breasts, a blonde joke to make everyone’s head swivel to your direction?

    It isn’t art, cer­tainly. It isn’t fun. It isn’t funny either.

    This is just my per­sonal opin­ion. A body is given by, depend­ing on what you believe in, God or your par­ents. It is nur­tured with love, and it totally up to you what you want to do it.

    Do you want to use your flesh for money? Or would you keep it for those who loves you, or you love back? Maybe you like the plea­sure it gives you when you indulge in cer­tain activities…

    But even­tu­ally one thing is clear: If you cheapen your body to that kind of extent, no one will find it valu­able any­more. If that is fine with you, so be it. Play it smart I sup­pose. Many peo­ple are sluts, but why announce it to the world?

    Being ‘com­fort­able’ with your body doesn’t mean you can any­how take off your clothes and shove your breasts into people’s chests in glar­ing pub­lic. YOU are com­fort­able being naked, but that is no rea­son for peel­ing off gar­ments, is it? Oth­ers around may not be com­fort­able. There are women, under­age teens, and even kids run­ning around.

    And yet, peo­ple are applaud­ing. The “lucky” man makes use of this golden photo for more pub­lic­ity, neglect­ing the fact that this might once again go on news­pa­pers and the young girl’s par­ents are unhappy enough as it is. It is sick to me, just sick.

    Nudity is ok in your per­sonal space, you can say peo­ple who see the pho­tos came in them­selves. Nude pho­tos can PASSABLY be called art. But flash­ing… That’s where I draw my line. I think it is crude, taste­less, and not to men­tion a cheap stab at get­ting attention.

    Nice try, but not bom­bas­tic enough: Why not spread your legs, hold them up tightly behind your ears, and let every­one have a clear look at your gen­i­tals? If they want, they also can insert for­eign objects inside. And feel free to blog about it!

    I am not bank­ing on any­thing here — and I am not say­ing what caused me to write this. This is just my two cents worth. I am truly affected and upset by what blogs rep­re­sent nowadays.

    Xiaxue, lighten up! you peo­ple exclaim. No I wouldn’t. I am appalled. I remem­ber when I was work­ing for a make-up counter, this trans­ves­tite with fake D-cup boobs was wear­ing a sheer silk top that her nip­ples showed only too clearly.

    She squeezed her tits in front of June and I, in pub­lic, and announced that they feel itchy. She con­tin­ued doing some obscene actions with her breasts, to get the atten­tion of this guy she liked, who was look­ing on nearby.

    While it was in jest, I found it pretty insult­ing that she (by she I mean him) put the female body parts to such use, which don’t even belong to her in the first place.

    I then told June, only tran­nies will do that to their ‘breasts’, because they don’t know the humil­ity, mod­esty and gra­cious­ness that only comes with years of pro­tect­ing and cov­er­ing a body part that not only feeds your child in future, but has been pro­tected from pry­ing, lewd male eyes for so long.

    I think I may be wrong.

    I would just like to give my teenage female read­ers a few words of advice, that is if you girls care about what I say. Flash­ing your breasts wouldn’t make you a unique, or as so many idiots described, BRAVE (I find it so ludi­crous I almost cried. In the past, brav­ery is when you fight drag­ons. Nowa­days, you just flash a boob and you are so FUCKING brave) per­son. You are just one of the many who tried using that method; you are noth­ing spe­cial. Try some­thing new please.

    I don’t care if I have con­tra­dicted myself N times. I don’t care if I also affect kids to write vul­gar lan­guage from my blog. That is not the issue today. I don’t give a shit whether you say I am jeal­ous, which I am not. I don’t think I’m being mali­cious — it is the act of flash­ing, and more impor­tantly, THE ABSURD APPROVAL SOMETHING AS WRONG AS THAT GETS FROM THE PUBLIC, that I am con­cerned about.

    I shall blog this out and no one can stop me…

    For I, for one, would not like to see my future daugh­ter behav­ing in this manner.

    I do not think it is ok, and I will not advo­cate this behaviour.
