Or so I’m told. More and more often these days. I take that to mean that people are under the assumption that I think I’m somehow better than they are. For the record, I don’t. The fact that this rarely happens to me in real life makes me think that the problem is not what I say, but the way that I say it. I enjoy lively debate at the best of times, and never more than with the variety of great minds on JU. Yet lately I have been feeling the effects of speaking my mind without the bene...
It happened again… My Mum has gone away for the week with her husband, and I have the domain all to myself. I moved out of home last November, and there was this pussy I used to see… let’s just name this pussy – Pussy X. Pussy X used to wander in and out of my room as she saw fit… Pussy X knew I would always be there upon return, and kind of took me for granted… Pussy X would come under the covers with me at the start of the night, but whenever I would wake up in the morning Pussy would be...
I recently got a bit hazy in one of my articles and I feel the need to justify myself… I just like Sharks ok – is that a crime? Everyday, I sit idly by, watching people lambaste and criticise the sharks, just for them being lean, mean, advanced predatory machines. Living in Australia, I hear about sharks a lot. Being a beach boy myself, I have encountered Sharks on more than one occasion. My grandma used to live in a quaint little beach town by the name of Cape Patterson – my auntie o...
Individually, Humans as a species have got the wood on the animal kingdom… If a monkey wants to pick a fight with a human, he can pretty much guarantee a career as a lipstick tester for the rest of his meagre life… some monkeys look good in lipstick, but I am sure they would much rather be tomfooling about in the forests!!! One day, humans are going to take it too far, and we will have a war of epic proportions on our hands. Independently, a bunch of lipstick shy monkeys don’t have much ho...
Well… 250 it is… I saw CS guy is up to his 99th, and looking for ideas… When I write about blogging, I am always thinking what I want to achieve out of blogging, have I achieved that? Or am I even close? I have obtained more that I could have hoped for when I wrote this article I am glad as I read through it, that my goals have not changed. The sense of perspective I have developed whilst sharing my thoughts and feelings with you guys is amazing. For the people who have been here from...
America, Australia, England... all countries that have a diverse range of ethnicities. You would be hard pressed to come across an urbanised citizen from any of these nations who does not know at least one person from a minute diversity, hence, these people will all know someone who has suffered from being part of the minority... Racism, prejudice, all negative connotations coming from the other side of the fence... What about the racism and prejudice from the other side of the fence? It m...
Uncertainty is basically a derivative of fear, we fear what we don’t know, and we fear the wrong choices. We fear the difficulty of what we know to be the right choices. How do we know they are the right choices? We have to trust our intuition? How can we be certain that our intuition is trust worthy, when we are conscious of the mistakes we have made in the past? Heart and mind are both strong in their own right, but how do we amalgamate these separate strengths to become the force of ...
As prisoner's of society, we witness greivances as misfrtunes on a daily basis... a broken home, an ignorant acquintance or an offensive blogger. Some people crumble under the pressure, become jaded and closed... un-able to understand perspective or consequences, no consideration for future events, and a hostile train of thought. Some choose to learn from afflictiions, greivances, and carry what they know to everyone else, the ancient Chinese referred to these people as the 'Sage' The Sage...
Blogging is Fun! I have been doing it for half a year now, and I dont see myself quiting anytime soon! As I was driving home from work today, A favorite radio program of mine - Today, Today on Triple J - Link and they mentioned the blogging was for nerds! true that may have been - heck, I am a nerd, albeit with a personality disorder, but If you look at the diversity of the top 10 websites we have here at JU, blogging is fast becomming a phenomenon that everyone can enjoy! Draginol L...
Do not look at the bottom yet, note the numbers before doing it. take this little test! It only takes 2 minutes. Five things are happening at the same time in your home which need your attention... 1- the phone is ringing 2- the baby is crying 3- somebody is knocking at your door 4- you hang out your washing outside and it has started to rain 5- you did not turn off the tap in the kitchen and the water is starting to overflow In what order will you solve these problems...
This article was inspired by a recent Maxim survey of the American woman – brought to my attention by the great pschxx in this article According to Maxim, 80% of the American women (Maxim readers at least) prefer the macho, jealous type of boyfriend… I am no psychology major, however, it has come to my attention that there are many women here on JU, and perhaps they can provide some insight… Some members of our glorious community have put it down to the female love of drama… This is ...
A day without sunshine is like, night. On the other hand, you have different fingers. I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory. 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot. 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name. I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe. Honk if you love peace and quiet. Remember, half the people you know are below average. He who laughs last thinks slowest. Depression is merely anger withou...
I don't know if you have heard the sad news or not but with all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed last week. Larry La Prise, the man who wrote the song "The Hokey Pokey" died peacefully at age 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in...... and then the trouble started. BAM!!!
Remember the book "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus"? Well, here's a prime example offered by an English professor at an American University. "Today we will experiment with a new form of composition called the tandem story. The process is simple. Each person will pair off with the person sitting to his or her immediate right. One of you will then write the first paragraph of a short story. The partner will read the first paragraph and then add another paragraph to the stor...
