Ok, I admit this was a perfect time to get a photo of Fiona, well without really getting her ‘live’… heh…
Â
One thing I don’t understand is - why do people get the idea that they can become like Fiona? She’s already got a great figure (mind you, my girlfriend agrees with me). Did you ever notice […]
I heard a quote off the radio. It said the happiest person in the world will also always have sad moments, and the saddest person in the world will also always have happy moments. The irony then is that many people who are supposedly ‘pursuing’ happiness as a destination in their life probably will find […]
I was surprised that Thaksin actually annnounced he’d dropped his post as Prime Minister of Thailand. In my (somewhat less political) opinion, if someone thinks they can do a better job, I’d let them do. Opposition party members who think they are up to it should really go the distance to prove their worth. But […]
I noticed myself after teaching students, that some teachers actually resort to labeling those who are unmanageable. They say they are ‘hopeless’ or ‘recalcitrant’. In any case, I discovered whenever we are at wits end, we end up labeling. If you are in a situation where there are overwhelming odds, you label and justify. It’s […]
Giving up is really a sign of weakness, or is it? I’ve seen situations where people bow under pressure to do the things that they normally wouldn’t do. This is about being cornered and having nowhere left to go. It’s a tremendous force that even Sun Tzu, the great general, talked about in the Art […]
Why bother. That’s the attitude I have met up with on occasion. In fact, I know many people who wake up to the world of “why botherâ€. They describe their lives as “okâ€, “fineâ€, “all rightâ€, but never really have the pizzazz for life, the enthusiasm.
I suspect a number of things. First of all, these […]
Everybody just knows that there are problems everywhere in the world, right? I mean, I probably have as many problems as you have, it’s just that they are different. Here’s what most people do when they have problems, and I think they are wrong.
Take it out on someone else.
Muck around in the problem.
Get Walled-In on […]
Arrogance stems from many factors. One of the things that people dislike and are turned off by is a person’s look that appears to be arrogant. I suppose I can’t explain it when I say that there really are some people who have the airs of an arrogant person, even though they feel they aren’t. […]
Will we die?
Yes, all of us will.
But I think some people are not aware of their own mortality, sometimes me included. I find that the eternal irony of life just beckons - are we just a figment of it’s imagination after we leave this place. I find myself having to conform to other people’s wishes […]

Hey Stuart,
 Even better to see your reply! I would like to add or agree:
Definitions are but a means of communication in this world, at least
that’s my perceptions. So yah, when I say everything stems from
beliefs, I mean […]
