Do you ever wonder why this phrase was even coined?</center>

Well let me tell you why. My last post was 2013. Incredibly so, it was about Miley "freakin'" Cyrus.(I am so doomed). However, that is justified silence between massive attacks of depression and gulping down medication because I am so naive to believe in the promise of Pharell Williams' music that claims I should <i>"clap around if you feel like happiness is the truth..."</i> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As reality would have it, I lost my Mom last April. Most people would believe and claim that if you have lived over eight decades, maybe it's time you moved on to a larger universe. I don't make the rules around here, I just flow with the quintessential definition of mortality.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And to-date I have managed to have wrapped myself once again, with the oddities of life in the fast lane of 'work' and corporate life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I need to breathe. Sometimes going with the flow is just that, going with the flow. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I would like to believe I am capable of stepping back and watching the world and the confusion of everyday living and laughing at the level of increasing stupidity of humanity. And being true to what I believe in, I take to my Blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But we all need time. Time to grieve. Time to rejoice. Time to think. Time to act. We don't give ourselves enough time to do any of these things that are important. We allow time to limit us. Instead of embracing Einstein's theory of relativity, we allow ourselves to become victims of having "not enough time." But we do have enough time. We have a lot of time to complain, to bitch, to bully, to ridicule, to hate, to do just about anything we can imagine and allow ourselves to do. Certainly, there are things we give more time to. We have enough to spare to do sanity checks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I lost my Mom and whilst I will forever miss her, I know that wherever the next dimension is, she is in a happier place where lesser mortals like us only dream about. She could even be with my Dad and that to me is a happier place for her. So I deliberately clocked myself to move on and miss her, instead of grieve her loss.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I decided that maybe it's time to get my silly ass in shape and my grey matter to better use and took to working. So I have given myself enough time to think and act on things that I know well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have been talking to myself lately and losing all the arguments with me. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today, I am giving myself time to do a sanity check. Why should I do that? It's simple. Besides the basic premise that I just want to, it protects me from further harming myself from stupidity that I see happening everyday to people who don't give themselves enough time. There are a few things that are important and that matter to me. And there are a lot of things that are important, but they don't really matter. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sanity check. Done.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is close to 60 days now, post that controversial and much ballyhooed VMA Awards performance of tween icon, Ms. Miley Cyrus.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What's my piece on it? Absolutely nothing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was just having a casual conversation with some girlfriends a couple of days back. And you know how we girls love to talk about anything. Technically, we just love to talk. Sometimes simultaneously and incessantly. And covering expansive breadth and depth in 10 minutes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Until one of the girls quipped, <i>"Did you see Miley Cyrus? What the hell is wrong with her?"</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I could have chosen to ignore that question since I don't give a wet monkey's ass about Miley, but like I said, it was loose talk, y'know.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I responded rather dryly with; <i>"Y'mean besides being the fugly version of Billy Ray?"</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I realized she was referring to the 2013 VMAs (and if you happened to have missed that, you can catch a re-run on Animal Planet,<i> #matingbaboons</i>); I found that our conversation has moved from irrelevant, like comparing a horse's dung to cow's crap; to totally inane: Miley Cyrus.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I took the unpopular stand of saying I did not see anything wrong with her cavorting and twerking onstage, nor did I find her stripped naked and licking irons of any particular import in her latest video aptly titled, "Wrecking Ball". Ergo, the conversation progressed to animated debate.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My point being, unless we will consider ourselves idiotically expecting any better, Miley is a Hollywood by-product. Born within the decade of </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>selfies;</b></i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> social networks that can bully people to commit suicide; a generation that believes they can't be wrong because they know everything; Disney-bred and all that jazz. I mean, if by any lame chance you expected to see an Audrey Hepburn up there, surely you are not of this planet. Seriously? Did you?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It is unfortunate that some parents, mothers included, encouraged their young girls to idolize Disney's "Hannah Montana" and dreamt their babies will grow up to be as rich and possibly as sick as the actor playing it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">There's nothing wrong with the kids, yet there is something completely wrong somewhere in the parenting. It was a Disney TV series role and that's about the beginning and end of it... just a role. Perhaps what the audience is seeing now is the real Miley Cyrus, her artistry, her music, her soul. Yes, it is rather disconcerting bordering on creepy, but Miley Cyrus isn't Hannah Montana.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Of course there is something totally warped about how Miley (whose real name is ironically </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Destiny Hope</b>, har de har har snort snort!) </i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">turned out to be from that little girl growing up in a farm somewhere in Tennessee. You don't see your average 20-year old young lady cloth in nude coloured undies twerking onstage for international viewing, do you? Well if you do see some, it would not be a lot, and probably some of them will even sue you for uploading a private video on YouTube.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Should that fact bother me? Hell, nope. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Is it a good enough reason to Blog about it. Hell yeah! Why? Because it is funny. It's funny how some people (<i>well ne-tizens for instance</i>) reacted that it practically exploded the social media networks. It's not a game changer. It's a simple marketing scheme and people bought it. It is funny how we can all be manipulated to react and respond. B.F. Skinner was right. We are living in the world like lab rats. Come on, life is not all about the cheese.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">At the end of the day, Destiny Hope got what she wanted. The attention she worked hard to get. And she will definitely give you the finger, oh, then again, her tongue. Carry on.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now don't give me that sorry look. There's nothing wrong with me. I just stopped writing. I have not ceased poking or bashing though. I am still at it. The only difference is that I stopped writing a Blog about it. (Along with a hundred others who I don't see in my updates anymore. Where the hell are these guys?)</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I decided 2013 is worth writing about. After all, my generation has lived through almost a dozen predictions (as far as I know through YouTube) of the world coming to an end. For the hopeful Nostradamus wannabes, I bet your sorry asses are back to the drawing board recalculating the Mayan calendar. A big LMFAO to all of you! Like I always said, if I were God, I'd be so frickin' pissed off you are second-guessing my plans. I hate people second guessing me and I am not even a god!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Since so many people have been duped by this fearless forecast, including Hollywood producers who fell in love with the concept of crashing a meteor on the White House with a coloured Actor playing the U.S. President; well, what do you know? Obama is re-elected back in Office and life goes on! And the party goes on ... and on ...</span></center>

<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now let me tell you something serious. If people are so darn scared of the world coming to an end, how come I don't see any tiny bit of remorse from anyone who continuously abuses power or wealth; from rampant, useless massacres of children, drive-by shootings; or child molesters, rapists, women abusers, drug lords, corrupt politicians, "plutonomists" and greedy corporate raiders; and there is no let-up even on </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">destructions of Mother Nature's resources and even senseless desires to expand regional or geographical territories</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">? I can only imagine how wealth and power or drugs can badly cause callousness and fearlessness. It's tragic how the world's general population could only hope for the world to fall apart given the pains and sufferings from the hands of the co-inhabitants of this old planet. Do we have to peg a date when this will happen? Aren't we supposed to already know by sheer common sense, it can be any time now? The world is dying. Do you seriously need the Mayans or Nostradamus to tell you that? Grow up!</span></center>

<br /><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I am not a political critic. In fact, I hate political critics. Except that a sad reality has dawned on me. There seems to be an apparent trend in the traits and qualities of this generation's global leaders. Hmmm.... and particularly Presidents.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have had my fair share of having to be accountable to the King of Darkness, but that's another story. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">History has given the world a wealth of role models and icons of leadership. It is most unfortunate, for us lesser Gentiles, or what they call, "constituents"; that we have to live and suffer under the command of someone who would have been the better version of Alicia Silverstone in her 1995 iconic movie, "Clueless".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The democratic process allows idiots to run for public office. The electoral process allows them to win. What a f----' curse!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MZuPR90RlEo/UBY2LSi3JcI/AAAAAAAACVE/g0hHXY_dhHk/s1600/SBSL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MZuPR90RlEo/UBY2LSi3JcI/AAAAAAAACVE/g0hHXY_dhHk/s1600/SBSL.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Where did we all go wrong?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I choose to hold myself accountable being a legitimate member of a society that disallows killing of another human being and other living species for that matter. Otherwise, I would be a world-renowned serial killer. Yeah, I wouldn't stop at just one leader. However, I also choose to hold myself in a higher moral ground. I would rather suffer temporarily than suffer eternal damnation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Certainly, people who are elected and even appointed to leadership posts, need to embrace the basics and fundamentals of leadership. To choose to behave in whatever manner without caring, just because the post is attributed power; is unacceptable nor is it an excuse to violate all sense of decency and propriety. It is bad enough that some of these leaders are idiots, but to publicly affirm and display idiocy riddled with insensitivity, is definitely a winner (in terms of leading an entire nation to perdition)!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">You see here, it is NOT their fault they are incompetent and </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">inadequate</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">. It IS our fault they got there in the first place. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Our nation embraces Actors/Superstars or pompous soothsayers as leadership icons, with mortifying confidence and belief that perhaps the Marvel Superheroes are real. And that it is possible that these fantasized heroes/ines will perform miracles such as alleviate poverty, eradicate corruption, provide an equitable life in a progressive economy and a peaceful, healthy, well-educated (at the least, well-informed) society.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">When things don't happen (also said as leaders do not deliver) and the status quo moves from bad case scenario to worst, we bow our heads to pray for Divine Intervention. We plead that somehow, sometime, our leaders will make a little difference in the life of an average law-abiding, decent and moral citizen. But instead, natural calamities strike in an almost ominous way to purge the world of filth and mire (ridding the world of morons is mainly gravy). We even dare call these as "acts of God." </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It is ironic that this very country showed the world how a peaceful revolution can actually be a means for transformation; with the same irony, this very country blew her chance for progressive change. "Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose", the more things change, the more they stay the same.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Such a tragedy, c'est la vie!</span></div>

<br />
I was dutifully doing back-reads on Posts I have missed and as part of my sanity check, I always check this Blog out. <a href="http://muppetsforjustice.blogspot.com/2012/07/i-like-big-cuddles-and-i-cannot-lie.html">Muppets for Justice</a> I am not prescribing you follow my lead by stalking this particularly odd Blog; as a matter of fact, don't. <br />
<br />
To begin with, if you do not have the gift of fortitude, a gut laced with titanium, and a blood type boosted with Fluoroantimonic Acid or HSbF6, I suggest stay away from it. Like I said, reading the Addman is a routine sanity check. He makes me feel grounded and home. (pauses to wipe a tear)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But what is this? I digress. His penultimate post spoke about a provocative business proposition on HUGS. Somehow I knew that as a professional hug-ologist myself, I was not alone in this Blogsphere with this competency. That and I thought I would give a little primer on the history and power of hugs.<br />
<br />
<br />
Allow me, please never ever underestimate and befuddle the meanings of hugs. This is very serious business.<br />

Said to be a public display of deep affection claimed by users of this hug. Subscribed by males, generally.</span></li>

This hug has been with the world since the B.C. ages, but used so frequently and broadly that to this date, it still seems to have the same impact and result for what it was designed for. This hug is timeless, ageless and breaks down barriers of status and economic classes. Users of this hug are by and large still using it. As to why? Beats me.

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nah, I do not actually resolve to absolute profanity every nano second that I open my mouth nor do I go out of my way to disrespect or be rude at any recognized belief or value systems and spiritual preferences. But I always had a problem with "figures of authority" so to speak.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The few of you who might know a little bit of me for real, and who may have chanced upon reading some of my earlier posts either on this Blog or my other Blog, <a href="http://privatelegends.blogspot.com/">Almost But Not Quite</a>, you would probably know I was raised by my Dad who served in the army; a soldier; a war veteran. A bugle call and the Taps are just some of the things that are considered "regular" in our household.

Somewhere along the line, I acquired a rather fearless attitude in voicing my mind and my opinions, however stinky-poo they may be and a rather rebellious <i>tendency</i> when it comes to "controls" and regulations.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I believe everyone has the right to question and to hold an opinion and everyone has the right to be listened to and understood. If it does not make any sense, I will say so. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I believe in discipline and a value for order as well as governance. I will never negotiate intelligence and the human capacity for smarts. Rather than embracing a dogma, I am more pragmatic. To my mind, a "title" does not earn you any respect; neither does your "stripes" if you behave by all means, like a douche-bag. Holding a position of power does not give you the power unless I attribute the power to you to control how I think and how I feel. You will always be powerless if I don't believe you to hold any significance to influence my life. A lot of people call this mindset, irreverence. I simply call it a having a mind.</span></div>

<center><div style="text-align: justify;">
... <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'VE JUST FOUND 10,000 WAYS THAT WON'T WORK." A particularly endearing Thomas Edison Quote.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SjrdBINt6r8/T3LTBGRRg9I/AAAAAAAACBM/oG86KBN_vEY/s1600/edison.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SjrdBINt6r8/T3LTBGRRg9I/AAAAAAAACBM/oG86KBN_vEY/s200/edison.jpeg" width="153" /></a><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There's absolutely no use to tell anyone who this dude is. If you don't know Thomas Alva Edison, you must be losing a little spark somewhere. He had very little formal education but he had a persistent curious nature that had led him to discover and invent breakthroughs in science that greatly influences human lives to date. His verbal skills were quite slow as he started talking only until he was almost 4 years of age, but he had an insatiable desire to search for the answers to his highly fertile mind. We would probably categorize him these days as borderline autistic and/or even ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and prescribe some Ritalin. Enable or disable him with drugs until he becomes completely useless and cast him off in society as a total "weirdo". He would live a solitary life, lose all of his friends, his chances for a decent career. Meanwhile, the rest of the world would probably still be living in the dark ages.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Except, back then, his one and true faithful supporter was his mother who believed that somewhere in that rather odd and unusual demeanour lies a brilliant mind.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, just because "Inventors" were typical of the 19th century, what has made humanity so cynical and jaded in the 21st century to throw a judging and suspicious eye on anyone who tries to run against the mainstream and not flow with the norms? What has made society these days isolate the "geniuses" into a sweeping category like "nerds" and "geeks" or even in worst case scenarios, "unfit and unwanted" based on prevailing societal standards? What the hell happened?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am not saying that back in those days there weren't any segregation or discrimination, there were probably worst conditions more than I would know. However, the likes of Edison and other influential people of the early centuries that have become world famous for defying the norms, characteristically withstood the mundane pressure and persevered their causes. The persistence and tenaciousness of Edison in the face of failures and unimaginable heckling has made his name synonymous to the world's best self-taught inventor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Meanwhile, the rest of us humans of the 21st century, gloat and bask in our ascribed limitless knowledge of the universe; whine at the slightest discomfort and inconvenience; mock anyone who stands out against the norm; label people into classes such as failures, idiots, losers, morons or all of the above; completely lose our sense of dignity by believing we are superior above all the garbage we have idolized and icon-ized. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We just lost it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our sense of curiosity; exploration; trying and failing; defying common rules that are generally wrong; standing up for our uniqueness and truly respecting diversity. Believing in something, or someone, or a cause that is far greater than the universe itself. We have succumbed to self-love and a generation that believes that the best world view is from our own individual perspective. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Admit it. we did. Yes we have become more tolerant of gender preferences, religious and even political views; but have we embraced terms that we did not create? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have we stood defiant and persisted on an idea in spite of possible ridicule and standing out from the crowd? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do we respect "brilliance" that is not ours or from our kind? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If it is not in Wikipedia, do we know where to search for answers? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have we accepted that failure is a necessary evil to further stretch ourselves or do we even know what is to "stretch" when everything else we need can be accessed by our fingertips?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have we found 10,000 ways that won't work, or did we even try?</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Achieving greatness in life is so commonplace and tacky. Do you have any idea at all how to aspire to be mediocre? And the challenge of sustainability? Consistent </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">mediocrity? You think it's easy?</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well tell you what, I can share with you a few tricks of the trade, if you are serious about becoming a <b>TRUE LOSER. </b>Let me warn you, if you are not careful, you might just have greatness thrown upon you, it pays to be prepared and cautious, otherwise you might just end up failing and start winning.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><ul><li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>Think Loser</i>. </b>Why even attempt at earning a decent means of living? <b><i>Mooch</i></b>. You will never run out of family or friends that are suckers for parasites like you. Exhaust this resource.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>Sleep In</i>.</b> Come on, why become a worm and be an early riser? As they say, the general rule is, everything important happens before lunch. So wake up one or two hours <b><i>AFTER lunch</i></b>. You don't want to have to catch anything important. Let the distressed strivers take their morning run or walk whilst you snore.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>Be absolutely blameless</i>.</b> If you never step to the plate to take on some responsibility, you will never be at fault. Never say yes to ANY responsibility or even relationships. Relationships require effort, sacrifice, doing things and being inconvenienced, listening to things you don't really want to. So why mess it all up? If you are able to protect yourself this way, then you will never be blamed. Spotless.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>Avoid Failure</i>. </b> The best way to avoid pain, rejection, frustration and failing is<b><i><u> not to try at all</u></i></b>. And if by some odd trick of fate you find yourself on the spot, then <i style="font-weight: bold;">expect to lose. </i>Just surrender early, no pressure. You have managed to avoid tension, angst, self-doubt, the whole blah-blah.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i style="font-weight: bold;">Be obnoxious.</i> If you think this is too lame, then <i style="font-weight: bold;">be rude. </i>A true blue loser has no friends. If you find yourself getting a wee bit attached to anyone at all, sleep with his boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse (if in case they are too young, sleep with any of his parents); and say something really mean to him/her. That way, anyone who even attempts to be close is within arm's length.</span></li>
</ul><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you can stick by these simple rules of Loser-dom, then you are on your way to becoming the best loser you can be!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-G_8P5nilVHY/Tz_kE1LJRyI/AAAAAAAAB8M/VV0oxFJIK1o/s1600/loser1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="261" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-G_8P5nilVHY/Tz_kE1LJRyI/AAAAAAAAB8M/VV0oxFJIK1o/s320/loser1.png" width="320" /></a></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

I find the rules of engagement rather skewed towards the other gender. As I recall, they even made a book and movie out of "He's Not Just That Into You" and probably even killed it.</span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well it's about time someone from the other side of the planet wrote something truthfully (or close enough) to spell this out, in the most simple terms as possible for easy read and hopefully, understanding.</span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know, it's being ambitious. </span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Arguably, our <i>exceptional</i> species find it difficult to decide amongst things or people that we actually <b>LIKE</b>. However, when we <b><i>DON'T</i></b> like, it's pretty much written on the walls in bold letters. Even a crocodile can take the hint. Unfortunately, some guys just don't get it. Either that or they are absolutely disturbed, totally damaged or with criminal intentions.</span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A Restraining Order can be issued on extreme cases, for the few creeps who are fiercely tenacious, bordering on stalking. If in any case you have not been served a TRO, this does not mean you have hope either.</span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's a list of a few simple and honest indicators:</span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. <i> <u>She avoids all points of contacts</u>. </i></b></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You call her. Her phone directs you to voice mail all the time. You leave a message but she never calls back. </span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You try through the Net, but she could have changed her name (probably even Status) on Facebook, Twitter, Google and tumblr or everything else in between. If she keeps her name, your <u>Friend Request</u> will be pending till kingdom come. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's impossible for her to update her twits and be playing games on fb if she was offline, right?</span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You don't need to check her Phone Directory to see for yourself the name she has assigned for you. It would be plainly spelled out as any of these: </span><i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Weirdo; Scumbag; Crap Face; Dick the Douche; Joe Creepo; </i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">to name a few. </span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If she likes you, she'll call back. If you send her a text, she'll reply. </span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If she does and all you get is: </span><i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>"Oh yeah, it's you, lol</b>." </i></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Honestly? </span><b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"lol, yeah"</b><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> is technically translated to: "</span><b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">NO, I don't like you."</b><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Some of us are really just too nice to break it into, </span><i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"why are you calling me? I don't want you to." </i></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></center><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wqDlCyTJ1K8/Typ8DqrpXXI/AAAAAAAAB5s/AhGe38xkIMw/s1600/stop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wqDlCyTJ1K8/Typ8DqrpXXI/AAAAAAAAB5s/AhGe38xkIMw/s1600/stop.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">2. <i><u>She tries to be subtle and polite</u>.</i></b><br />
<center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i><br />
</i></b></span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you asked her out and she does not say outright, "Hell, no" <i>BUT</i> she keeps on rescheduling, cancelling or giving excuses about having to check her calendar - nah, she's absolutely cold. You see, we have our priorities, and for things we consider important, <i><u>we MAKE time</u></i>. </span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You have to at least be more important than a foot scrub. Or are you still buying her excuse that her pooch or cat is sick every Thursday and Friday night, every single week? </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Get a life.</span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>3. <i><u>She plays Hopscotch. With You</u>.</i></b></span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She is avoiding all types of <b><i>physical contact</i></b> at all costs. We have our personal space and we only allow people into that space that we choose. </span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

It's quite interesting how we acquire this irrational fear of certain things. Whether it is a function of a childhood trauma, an early on experience that predisposes an individual to this type of behaviour, as an outcome of aberrant upbringing, damaging experiences or environment. Simply put, it is just a little something that isn't so right.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I suffer from acrophobia - yes, fear of heights.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_y3uFGoyPlE/TwqT4NG7osI/AAAAAAAABzQ/4zvdIHZplns/s1600/tightrope.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_y3uFGoyPlE/TwqT4NG7osI/AAAAAAAABzQ/4zvdIHZplns/s200/tightrope.jpg" width="186" /></a><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Don't let me get started on this one, talking about it makes me totally nauseous. I was told by my therapist, when under hypnosis as he facilitated my regression; that back when I was barely a year old, I hung from the banister with one hand, when I tried crawling down the flight of stairs in the house where we used to live. For a brief moment of my daredevil stunt, I looked down. Perhaps like all babies in the crawling age, there was no fear then, but the <b><i>visual</i></b> of the distance between where I was suspended and down the stairs, must have gotten stuck in my neurons somewhere. Yeah, curses! To-date, I still dread having to look down from any elevated place. I imagine myself falling and breaking my frickin' neck. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I yet have to zip-line, to once and for all, deal and confront this fear. A full bottle of Jack chased down with half a bottle of Tequila, would not be a bad idea to encourage me from pushing myself to be up for the challenge. <i>(Damn it, now my fingers are sweaty with the thought!)</i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But what I have found most curious above all, is the proliferation of fears that have been uncovered and explored fairly recent in our centuries-old world. I am talking about extremely unique fears and phobias, I find it rather disturbing that my own phobia of heights is considered commonplace, an all-time classic, compared to the the "new age" phobias.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now why would I want to ruin your festive season to be merry? Well because there are things that you may need to watch out for. I have yet to see this season celebrated with minimalism, it seems when the Christmas holidays come in, people tend to go on Maximum Overdrive. (thanks to Stephen King). And yes, the weather outside is absolutely "frightful"! Unless you have missed the holiday shopping bizarre sales!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh, so you missed that? Well I hope you are not amongst the few who expect that the season to be merry is also the time to put on your most comical smile and pretend that you are indeed a nice person, when deep within your core, you are reeking with contempt and arrogance. Pfft! People, get real.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Often we feel compelled to be happy because everyone expects us to be. When you feel the exact opposite, do you ask yourself,<b> </b></span><i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>"what the hell is wrong with me?"</b></i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. Honestly, the fact is, the Holidays can be the most stressful period of the year and for a whole lot of people in this world, the saddest time. <b><i>"<u>Holiday Blues</u>"</i></b> are real. Period. Sometimes, the season tends to bring memories, some unpleasant ones, of loved ones lost. A little compassion for those who relapse into grieving should be extended. Some people we know just need to heal, some take a longer time, a few bounce back quickly, and several more, stay scarred.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CJvu1NM7aLU/TvG2jPP3rjI/AAAAAAAABuU/-emBr_eyZ50/s1600/holiday-blues-300x300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CJvu1NM7aLU/TvG2jPP3rjI/AAAAAAAABuU/-emBr_eyZ50/s200/holiday-blues-300x300.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Plus, not only is it the season of <i>EXPENSES OVERLOAD</i>, it is also the season of <b><i><u>RESPONSIBILITIES OVERLOAD</u>!</i> </b>Crazy kids, obligatory parties directly related to obligatory gifts, house guests, menu planning and cooking, decorations, cleaning, money pressures, etc. etc. Look, maybe if you don't really want to, then don't. One of the worst things I have seen, is planning to be perfect this season, and if things do not go as planned, is blaming yourself for the failure, or worse, blaming others! If the economy and politics is disappointing and the government is such a let-down, why expect a perfect holiday?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You'll be surprised how happier you will be to choose only to do what you want to do and not feel obliged to have to do it. Trust me. I said NO to overdecorating this year, after all, I made a mess out of last year's "blinkers'" and I yet have to admit I haven't untangled the mess. Yeah, boo!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of my all-time favourites, "<i style="font-weight: bold;"><u>going broke for the sake of happiness</u>." </i>Why should you yield to the pressure of spending beyond your means and accumulating large credit card balances? What is the point of buying expensive presents and losing track of actual expenses because of merry making? Even Santa Claus (if you believe there's one) has cut down on his reindeer headcount, and if he has to fly, he chooses the budget fare.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And just because, the season is a good reason to get together with family, do you really have to <i style="font-weight: bold;">"<u>open up unresolved family conflicts</u>?" </i>Oh this one just takes the cake. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's bad enough that they are all around, but you just can't help yourself, right? There's nothing more delicious than watching Old Divas in a cat-fight, or have an entire clan drive off in the middle of the holiday dinner with their kids in tow, some throwing tantrums as they haven't opened up their presents. There's nothing close to the fun and amusement one can get watching parents treating their adult children as kids, and kids completely ignoring parents' screams and yelps as they completely go hyperactive after tons of sugar overload! Ah, the whole thing is so seductive it's so boring if you are one of the few families I know without any dysfunction! Booyah! And I haven't even started on dessert, the wild gossip whispered around about who is doing what, with whom. and who is the latest to join the single parent's club or who has finally "come out"? I just love family <i>get-togethers</i> during the holidays. It puts Jersey Shore, Gossip Girls, True Blood and the Kardashians in one show!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love holidays because every season enriches me as a person. That or it makes me laugh myself to tears until I pee in my pants. Maybe I should sound a little helpful so a few reminders wouldn't hurt this post.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><ol><li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Watch out for the burning Christmas Tree!

<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fireplace fire. Yeah, this can suck big time.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pets getting ill, humans too. Over feeding. Or overeating. Same outcomes.</span></li>

And definitely not because there is no good in the hearts of men.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope I am wrong because I want to be wrong. I never thought of myself as an incurable optimist.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

There is value in being able to differentiate what you are dealing with and how to deal with these creeps. More often than not, we all fall into one of these categories, some by choice, some by circumstances, others, by sheer genetics.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

</i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have you ever been so mad you choke at your own mouth fluids, your vision blurs and your acid reflux starts to taste sweet? </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ANGER can be emotionally exhausting, physically draining and sometimes when you snap, can be humiliating and embarrassing. (It can also really make you look fugly!)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I understand that there are people who come across your peaceful life that you would like to choke the life out of. Trust me, I have met more than enough. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have a friend who keeps a <b>MUST KILL (Hit) LIST </b>and she has had this list with her since she was 8 years old. The fact that there may be something severely wrong with the psyche of my friend is another matter,but her HIT LIST can likewise be seen as therapeutic. She has mastered the craft of detailing how she will execute these murders someday.</span><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now back to what I really wanted to say. Why get mad? Get even!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I seriously think there's nothing wrong with mapping out your vengeful carefully thought out plan of action instead of wasting your energy quietly seething and biting your tongue.</span><br />

<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Walk a few paces behind the bastard in the Office, and spray Lysol on everything he/she touches.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When your boss/office mate goes to your work station to speak to you, clamp both your hands on your ears, and sing: "lalalalalala .." to the tune of the Batman theme. Or abruptly wear a <b>"protection mask" </b>when you face him.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">Fill in every coupon, online form etc you can find that is likely to result in junk mail.

You can choose his or her Home address or Office address. Either way, it will be fun.</span></span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">Scatter bird seed all over his/her car from hood to bonnet (works very well in an Open Parking Space). Let the birds do their thing.</span></span></li>

<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When your house mate is on holidays, put a couple of watering pails or large mouth plastic bottles filled with water in his/her clothes cabinet. Add generous handfuls of fast growing grass seeds. Happily and peacefully wait for their return.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Install a Password on the phone. Feign ignorance when confronted.</span></li>

Order as many </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">arrangements as you can with silly and foolish messages. Make sure you are not around on Delivery Dates.</span></li>

<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Talk to friends of friends. Make sure the news will get to him at some point. Sadly point out his incompetence in bed as the reason why your relationship ended. If you're feeling a little creative, Blog about it. Post the Blog link on your Facebook and Twitter. Respect his privacy by using only his initials.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Post your picture looking extremely happy with your current squeeze. If he has deleted you in his Friends on FB, mail him a copy of the picture</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If your ex is making a road trip with his current girl, you can choose any of the following options:</span></li>
</ol><div><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Call local law enforcement and make an anonymous tip that the person is trafficking drugs and these are hidden very well in the car.

</ul></div></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of course it is is easy to say <i>"Move on with your life and be happy" </i>but without a doubt, it is much more exhilarating to exact anguish to people who have brought you such.</span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<center><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">DEINDIVIDUATION is a concept in social psychology that pertains to loosening of social norms in groups. In another language, it simply refers to the psychological account and explanation of the apparent transformation of rational individuals into an unruly group or crowd. It is more descriptive of "group think" and "collective behaviour" of the lynch crowd, mindless hooligans or the violent rioters. And the obvious question is <b>"What turns ordinary people into mob monsters?"</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-c282_syEAr0/TkOLnflDLCI/AAAAAAAABOA/BZEb6qoQgo8/s1600/144661-london-riots.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="203" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-c282_syEAr0/TkOLnflDLCI/AAAAAAAABOA/BZEb6qoQgo8/s320/144661-london-riots.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are numerous instances when a group of ordinary people suddenly turn into an angry mob and albeit the limited research on the study of this psychological phenomenon, we watch in shock when on an average day, with your regular crowd, something "snaps" then suddenly, hell freezes over.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I reckon it's really simple to understand. I personally have <b>three (3) reasons</b> why it is so easy to lose oneself and become part of a larger whole. I mean, come on, this is no different from the behaviour of mass hysteria watching a "rock concert", is it?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whilst social psychologists argues that <b>deindividuation</b> is NOT a loss of individual identity but a shift or transition into a social identity, I reckon otherwise. Of course I am taking the advocate's stance, because this mindset makes it easier for me to digest the atrocities that is happening in the world.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4YxoNoXRxKE/TkOPQw1Fc8I/AAAAAAAABOE/X7Fw_2mKaqM/s1600/mobile+mob.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="182" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4YxoNoXRxKE/TkOPQw1Fc8I/AAAAAAAABOE/X7Fw_2mKaqM/s320/mobile+mob.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well firstly, the seduction of <b>NO RESPONSIBILITY. </b>I am not solely accountable on how I behave when I am in a crowd. I can fully submerge myself in the group norm, lose all of my self-restraints and inhibitions, become a senseless puppet of whoever is taking the lead, and act in the most barbaric or heroic manner. I don't really have to rattle off countless historical evidences to prove this point, do I?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A very strong second argument is of course, <b>ANONYMITY.</b> "There is refuge in numbers." My own personal identity is fused into the group's identity or the "cause." It is not my face, but the face of the crowd that you see. I am just but one of the mob. When we are opposed, we strike back. We are stronger as a collective unit. We have "it in us" to face daunting barriers raised by people in authority. We are "fearless." Even animals uphold this principle, so why can't humans?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Being in a mob, gives me a sense of <b>POWER. </b>What I may not be able to do alone, I totally can, when everybody else behaves and acts in the same way I do. Any sense of power, wrongly attributed or otherwise, is a very strong push for any individual to go over the edge and risk everything in total abandon. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The complete mix of Power, Anonymity and Absence of Responsibility and Accountability is way too suggestive and irresistible. This is particularly true for idiots or even individuals with weak egos, who don't draw from the strength of their rational mind and ego to choose a better way than to act with a mindless mob. Most times, people don't realize they are shifting from their own individuality into a group norm, until they are way too late, and deeply submerged in the process.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LXC46WQnDFw/TkOU0pvAhxI/AAAAAAAABOI/Ll3H-gol-GI/s1600/protestg20PA_450x300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LXC46WQnDFw/TkOU0pvAhxI/AAAAAAAABOI/Ll3H-gol-GI/s320/protestg20PA_450x300.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is a very sad reality, that we choose to behave like savages, become faceless and nameless and allow ourselves to be become beasts. There is no amount of poverty or injustice that can justify decent individuals to act like common criminals and street thugs. The last time I checked, Human Beings still hold the highest tier in the Food Chain and Ecological Pyramid. But when I look at what is going on in the world, we behave no better than an irrational carnivore, a creature, an animal, a predator.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

I am trying hard NOT to. But I feel I am being compelled.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I feel like Fashion Fail Blogging!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I just recently had dinner with my friends in some posh restaurant. We couldn't help but notice a thousand and one misses and fails (much to our evil enjoyment) in the wardrobe category of your average street fashion. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What can absolutely go wrong with the all-powerful <b>"Little Black/Mini Dress"</b> womankind wears for those nights when </span><b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"we mean <strike>risky</strike> serious business?"</b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The goddesses wore them, so why shouldn't we?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My reckless theory is that, the LBMD (Little Black/Mini Dress) does not mix well with the following: <b>plain</b> <b>stupidity; extra large SUVs; poor social graces and alcohol intoxication (not necessarily in this order).</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Jlv7xhcS1DA/TjBVRC5hz0I/AAAAAAAABJg/GM1ZpF0k_TA/s1600/frame1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Jlv7xhcS1DA/TjBVRC5hz0I/AAAAAAAABJg/GM1ZpF0k_TA/s320/frame1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, maybe it's just me, but the safest to wear for an all-occasion, when you don't want to make a fashion faux pas and choose to stay classy and safe; is to wear the mighty fail-safe Little Black Dress. Donned with the proper accessories and drop-dead gorgeous shoes, how can anyone miss the goal and go wrong?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Alas, it gets so wrong. Just wrong, this insight totally moves me to tears. It makes me want to declare war on women who think with their nail polish and left good graces entirely to the ethereal Princess Grace of Monaco (God bless her soul). How dare you half-wits?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let me educate you. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Primarily on the subject of <b>undergarments. </b>If you feel that your undies leave "visible pantie lines", at the very least, wear a pantyhose. Unless of course, you are in the business of "flashing."</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know it feels liberating to be au naturel, but on every occasion that you attend, do you feel you are obligated to go <b>"commando"</b>? Give me a break! If some creep comes up to you , grinning and drooling like an imbecile about to get laid, trust me, he peeked.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Additional basic reminders, since 70% of your body is made up of water, it is likely that you sweat, plus even under air-conditioning, we all do (<strike>as a matter of fact, even when you swim dahlin'!</strike>).</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes, "sweat" are those dew-like liquid that comes out from your body's largest organ called the skin, that has pores and sweat glands. They were called "sweat" or perspiration before, last I checked, they are still called sweat until now. Nothing much has changed in the human physiology even if you have been lipo-suctioned or tummy-tucked.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Silky, sheer clothing apparel tends to stick to your skin when you're sweaty. Having said this, watch out for an <b>up-skirt wedgie.</b> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The formula is simple: Without a pantyhose + bare sweaty skin = up-skirt wedgie.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">An up-skirt wedgie is just one among the many <b>up-skirt mishaps.</b> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">An <b>up-skirt mishap</b> would range from the accidental flashing, to the "skirt is hot dang too short" it displays your uterus when you get off from a car, a stool, or a high seat, when you climb the stairs; or to the plain clueless and stupid, your hemline getting caught by a belt, a garter or any waistband. The last up-skirt mishap allows strangers to watch your buns for a few minutes before someone courageous (or exhausted from too much laughing) tells you that your buns are publicly exposed. Need a visual aid? Here, feast your eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MJrBb-4Au08/TjBdPgtW86I/AAAAAAAABJk/j_ogSNTn0EM/s1600/frame2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MJrBb-4Au08/TjBdPgtW86I/AAAAAAAABJk/j_ogSNTn0EM/s320/frame2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Its ridiculous why some of us, and I am not saying all of us, want so badly to be treated with respect and admired for our intelligence and smarts, when we behave this way. If these women can't even get their wardrobe right out in public (as a qualifying distinction), how can demi-goddesses like the few of us keep fighting for our kind, when some women love to sit on their brains? Damn. It's really tiresome.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I personally will forever keep the sanctity of the Little Black Dress to heart and make it a personal crusade not to become a Fashion Victim. I hold a few favourites and they are absolute knock-outs matched with a south sea pearl choker, red shoes (or black), black tights, and a little black purse. More importantly, when I mean serious, or risky business, I am fully "armed." Or haven't you heard of the Art of Seduction?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

I immediately choked up again as Brianna's story never fails to make me sob and cry unashamedly.</span></center><center><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you have never heard of this little angel's tragic and sad life, you can read up a very short synopsis of this indescribable, heinous story of the evil of mankind with this link:</span></center><center><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <a href="http://rightinaleftworld.blogspot.com/2009/08/brianna-lopez-abused-in-life-caged-in.html">Right In a Left World</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. </span></center><center><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a couple of days, Brianna would have been a lovely 9 year-old girl. Except the world was just too wrong for her, too cruel. I have yet to know of a baby so unloved; was never hugged or touched gently, that God decided to take her spirit right back because she did not deserve this world. She deserves so much better than what we gave her. </span></center><center><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Abused, beaten, bitten and raped as a baby, she did not stand a chance. If your heart is weak, I will spare you of the gory, appalling and disgusting details. </span></center><center><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But remember Brianna. </span></center><center><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Remember how cruel and evil we are as creatures. Not humans. Just creatures. </span></center><center><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Try to remember her and recognize your own darkness. </span></center><center><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Because only then will you know that you can embrace the light.</span></center><center><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To the little angel that passed through the cruel hands of man, Brianna, you deserve to be free.</span></center><center><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

Leaving <b>so much mess</b> and not even enough decency to clean up their own. (I am sure they aren't this messy when they're in their own home, or are they?)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh sometimes, <b>the guests bring their kids</b>. You know, those little creatures that throw a chewed bubble gum on your hair then when it gets stuck, they laugh like possessed banshees? Imagine house guests that travel with kids between the age range of 3 - 11 years old? My Mom said they are family so I should try to be nice. (She must be kidding. I'd rather deny any blood affinity with those monsters.) </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The <b>guests' kids fighting, crying and screaming</b>. I could barely say, "Aww, that's cute!" (This is not your house and I would love to call 911 to report "host battery and abuse!")</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Did they say <b>3 days or 3 weeks</b>? (That's it, I am staying in a hotel)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Look, honestly, I am a good person and I am generally warm and loving. However there is another type of house guests - <b>visiting family</b>. If I have been <b>driving around everyday for a week</b> to fulfil the silly bunch of widowed Aunties and Unmarried older cousins I call, <b><strike>Old</strike> Swingles', </b> dream fantasy shopping and salon sprees; (with my Mom in tow so I can't say NO), I can only take on so much. I believe over-exposure to stupid banters, PMS cat-fights, Hollywood gossip, political impasse', back-stabbing stories and blame putting on "who passed gas again in an air-conditioned SUV" can be hazardous for any one's health. It could even be carcinogenic.</span></li>
</ul><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mpmKXxEtwX4/Thium04iKKI/AAAAAAAABDU/QJSUApXNXUU/s1600/gaaah_small_117236973.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mpmKXxEtwX4/Thium04iKKI/AAAAAAAABDU/QJSUApXNXUU/s200/gaaah_small_117236973.jpg" width="170" /></a></span></div><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You know what the worst part is, when <b>the house guests can't decide where to go</b>. My Aunts for instance will say, "Wherever and whatever is fine" and you take the liberty of choosing an activity like a rabid event manager. The moment you get to the place of your choice, they start with endless "editorials" and rather insulting "quips". (I think the crime is called multiple counts of murder, so I stay calm and composed while I quietly suffer from acid reflux.)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sometimes however, guests can be pretty generous and they are <b>travel ready to spend</b>. I love those Aunts and Uncles. I never turn down an offer when they want to foot the bill for petrol or dining and shopping for souvenirs. There are a few who play the <b>"endless" shuffle</b> with you as to who got his credit card first. I play this shuffle very well. I leave my entire wallet at home, I put my Driver's License in the pocket of my jeans, and pretend I am an honest-to-goodness chauffeur. Hah! Sue me. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't mind the "personal chauffeur" role, but I hate <b>"clingy" guests</b>. ("Of course we've been here twice, because the third time around, you are going on your own!")</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Conversations with <b>jet-lagged</b> people? I don't. I give them a small pocket book on Word Puzzles and Anagrams or Soduku. And I go on my peaceful life.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fine, so <b>they can't sleep</b>. But how long do I have to put up with the raucous? iPods don't drown them when what I really need is some peaceful sleep.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Phone bills</b>. Maybe I should set the standard rates including calls made from my mobile phone, what do you think?</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Messing with my pets</b>. They are my pets and I love them. (If you touch them again and dream that you can mess with their heads, I will have to introduce you to my little friend - said in the typical Pacino drawl)</span></li>
