i am JPQZ a.k.a. neuroticism

i can not quite remember when this personal craze began... All i remember was that i was visiting this site: just click more often than normal middle of last year. Not that i only discovered this play with words and letters lately because i did, in one form or another, rearrange letters/words/phrases to make new thoughts/words/sentences in the past--- probably as early as high school. But of course, i did not look much into it other the pun being fun.

So anyway, here i am a bit older, a bit wiser and now a bit more interested in this anagramming thing. So much so that i spent (wasted) a lot of office hours anagramming anything and everything that crosses my eyes. So so much so that me and a friend even had an anagramming contest (See earlier entry this week)... By the first month of this anagramming hobby, i came upon another site, the anagrammy.com forums. This was a good and bad thing. The latter because i realized how amateurish my efforts were compared to these word-geniuses. Suddenly, what i did was really just for the fun and heck of it even as the real "anagrammers" showed me what real anagramming is all about. But still, it's an addictive thing and it's all good that i realize that i am real bad at this (Compared to 'em pro's...) In the spirit of fun, and in the spirit of anagramming i continue doing it for leisure and at times incorporating it in my writing. Doble entendres and subliminal messages, and this writer feels right at home, thanks to such thing called anagramming.

Without further ado here are some of random anagrams from past word files. Credit to Enteng and Che for helping me out on some.

The places:
Boni Barranaca ~ Barbarian con!
Mandaluyong ~ A man, ungodly! ~ A god, unmanly!
Philippines ~ i ship nipple.

The vices:
San Mig Strong Ice = stones grimacing
San Mig Light ~ might lasing
Red Horse Beer = err... sobered, eh?
Cigarettes and alcohol = Collect a soaring death!

Others:
Jesus Christ = Just's riches
Sports Desk = Dork's pests
My Chemical Romance ~ m' comical archenemy
Snow Patrol ~ O! Worst Plan!
Princess of Disguise = Professing Suicides

And my favorite, the names (of friends):
Fielnino Casano = a facile son = an online fiasco = O! Life is a cannon
David Emmanuel Alano = A lead animal unmoved!
Reynaldo Canlas = Don's arcane ally ~ 's clean and ro
Christian Castillo ~ is local antichrist!
Che Sereno = Scene Hero
James Patrick Quizon = Major Pain, Quick Zest! = Quick Pain, Major Zest! = JPQZ a.k.a. neuroticism

On a final note... i wanted to anagram a certain name of a certain person. But i was warned earlier by a certain old man that mentioning her (or at least referring...) in this spot of a blog (at times, after we chat for five minutes i "report" it on my blog though i never named names and i won't do that ever my dear... and that, probably, just probably i can't tell you upfront some of the things so i just write it here...) could probably hurt my chances of those five-minute chats ever happening again.

And so, i won't anagram your name. i'll just keep it to myself just to keep those five-minute chats. Heck, i'd even delete this entire thing if that means dinner with you. i won't do that, no dear ally, i won't.

Foe Outworn ~ Two One Four

A fun, yet stupid competition--- the phrase an easy anagram of a stupid (yet fun) competition--- that's the title for a blog entry of my friend, who takes the saying "life is a game" way too seriously. Too serious that the word "game" for him is replaceable with the word "competition" thus, that "life is a competition." So much competitive bones that i had to make an anagram of the 90's Rivermaya song, 214...

Sure, it was me who was either late (or absent) for work (or school) because i was down, 0-2 in our little Playstation2 NBA Live battles (Hey, a best-of-five wouldn't hurt, right?) Sure, i may have requested another round of beer or two during the drinking sprees because no one is freaking drunk yet (Come to think of it, at these times everyone's competitive spirit is just at an all-time high) just to prove that, well, no one is freaking drunk yet which is the same as proving nothing. Sure, i bet on sports, friendly and not-so-friendly wagers , losing half the time and winning some of it.

Sure, sure i may be a bit passionate about arguing how i don't believe in competition. i hate it, despise it. i don't think human beings are made that way. When challenged to a duel, a man just lie down and play dead. When summoned to a fight, a man just run and go far, far away.

(And about this time an officemate challenges me to a Fight Night, PSP network battle. Excuse me, i have to get this one.)

And oh, click on the link above and read my friend's post--- the anagrammed piece he made is posted there and was made to go up against my piece (Posted image above) Basically, it's an anagrammed lyrics of our favorite bands songs. i hated doing that too--- anagramming lyrics just for competition? Gahd.
