Hip Hop Non Stop...



Hip Hop while you read..for my rhyme to not sound cheesy!!

With some money in my pocket,
I took the space rocket…
For a dollar ..I had no change
Shelled out 5 times ..with no E-X-C-H-A-N-G-E
YO  hip hop..It began Y-E-S-T-E-R-DAY.
Can’t wait no more for next Monday..

I took my first hip hop lesson yesterday...and the public transport for the first time in this country!!

Two lessons learned,

1 ) Always carry with you exact change 10 coins-3quarters,1 dime,2nickel and 4 pennies. With this combination you can produce any number between 1-99 cent and won’t end up paying 5 times the cost like I did!

2) Hip hop is the next best thing in the world after cheese!!!

I wanna hip hop non stop ..without full stop!

When 'WRONG" happens....everyone loves to write!!!


Words not their own as their own when they speak,
Entertaining it is to watch them squeak.
A few such goof ups in this post you will see,
 I can laugh out lungs until these happen to me.


"On a more personal note,allow me to express my profound satisfaction regarding the happy coincidence of having two ... Portuguese-speaking countries here today." Oops



In his defense,watch this one..



                                        

Davison failed to convince the Stark County Republican Executive Committee to endorse him for county treasurer after his  jaw-dropping—plea for the party nomination.
By The Way....Davison won more notoriety than most local pols get in a lifetime of service!!! 
: )




Last Laugh!!



Some were incredible I shortlisted two!!!

Speed Thrills!!


Each book I read, I long to complete ,       
With a distracted mind I struggle to compete.
Strenuous it is to my egghead so tender,
To go about reading in the right order.

The longer I take to finish a book the sooner I lose interest.
Therefore,my slow start for 'Need for Speed' begins today with THE 100 by Michael H.Hart; An interesting read that contains biographies of the 100 most influential persons in history,along with the author’s reasons for ranking them in a certain order.

Pages: 550

Timeline: 10 days!

They say, blogging is one of the best ways to form a habit,it keeps you accountable.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating though !! : p

For Shivangi the Bride to be......




                                   In just two weeks for the bride to be;
                                  Skin deep “ beauty” is not meant to be.
                                 Pamper yourself with lotions and steam,
                                Worries and stress are beauty’s other extreme.
                               Juices and fruits instead of chocolates and wine,
                               Beauty sleep is all you need for your skin to shine.
                               The goodness of water you already know,
                              We can’t wait to see the stunning bride glow.


As you happily look forward to all you're dreaming of, may you be blessed with love and happiness forever!!!!

Randomness!!


Nauseous it is,

When time flies in sound sleep,
To wake up and discard the junk heap;
Dishes to wash and laundry to do;
Much ado for just us two.

Nauseous it is,

When, you want to read,
Your eyes shutdown in rapid speed.

Nauseous it is,

When you have nothing to do,
You are buzzed with the question"what do you really want to do?"

When herd mentality makes economic sense!!!


As Birds of a feather we flock together,
And knock of a few dollars for one another.  : )

For a 20 year old" koolio",
Dinner with friends  at a five star ,a blackberry that matches his guitar …
Partying at Enigma with the girls who want perfume and spa…
May now be an affordable indulgence,with group buying sites springing up each day.

Group buying sites operate upon a very simple business model. The websites feature promotions with a predetermined discount and a minimum number of buyers. The limited time period creates a sense of urgency, prompting impulse purchases. All interested buyers must provide their credit card information, but are only charged if the deal goes live. Little money is locked up in working capital because the group buying website either bills the entire amount of the purchase upfront and retains a commission before passing the rest of the payment onto the merchant, or charges a token amount and directs the user to pay the rest at the merchant's site. If the deal does not materialize, the group buying site isn't stuck with any back inventory because the discounted service or item is sourced at the participating business. Buyers receive vouchers for their purchases via e-mail or text message and they have anywhere from one to three months to redeem the offer.


Group buying sites in India and the USA you'll might want to compare,

Nearly a decade ago Marcata a group buying site funded by Microsoft burst onto the scene with these bold words."If you're not part of the we-commerce revolution, you're history!"The  " revolution" began appropriately enough on July 4, 1999 and died an untimely death.


A few back dated news articles on Marcata should make an interesting read!!

Head in the clouds!!


Anything I lay my hands on either breaks or disappears;
With lost and found glories I have survived all these years.
Most promises made are not just broken but forgotten;
Many like me with this blog I wish to enlighten.

Ever since I can remember I have spent most of my time searching for things that had disappeared into oblivion. I attributed such occurrences to black magic and sometimes even Alzimers until ,I bumped into zillions of tips on how to tackle absent mindedness !!

The most fascinating of all was this website for distracted people www.distractedpeople.com .

Being distracted is human and it is good to be human!! ; )

 A few tips to avoid adversity…
  1. Simplify your life. "Don't be overwhelmed by too many things at once, and take tasks one at a time,"
  2. Get proper rest and nutrition so you are in a well-rested frame of mind.
  3. Keep to a schedule. "People who stick to a schedule are less absentminded than people who don't,"
  4. Get plenty of exercise, both physical and mental. "Challenge the brain in new and creative ways throughout life,"
  5. Keep items that you use every day in the same place all the time. "Find a place in your house and consistently put your keys or your eyeglasses there, like on the mantle or on the table by the door,"
  6. Make effective use of cues and reminders, like sticky notes or a calendar. "Most absentminded errors can be overcome by having access to reminders,"
As annoying as absentmindedness can be ,it saves us from remembering all of life’s dull moments as well as setting us free to think in abstract terms. : )
