Not only about Google

I'm sure everybody out there today is either saying, 'Guess who's birthday is today?' or 'Today Google is 14 years old!' And the majority who hears this will answer, 'Only 14 years old?'

All right you kids of the world, who of you are older and cleverer than our young Master/Miss Google today??

Anyway, like I said this post is not all about the egoistic Know-it-All-Google, but the pressure of the 'Naming' ceremony of the poor children of the Internet and their likes.

Here you go, when the world was still peeping at their faces in their respective cradles.

                 Moving on >>>>>

 

See the glow ahead, or is it the happiness so bright that's behind??

My sister brought this, 'moving on' to my attention with startling clarity,
but accepting that and believing in it are two totally different things.
          
 And for you to actually do it? That’s a brand new subject for you.

She said (repeating a conversation she had with a stubborn acquaintance), “first you go to primary school, and then to middle school, high school, university, get married…it’s all moving on ‘unconditionally’, and so….” It’s one of those sentences that don’t have an apt ending. It just says, with raised eyebrows, “Get a real life and stop hanging on to fantasy pasts or ideals”

But can one really break away from those clinging fantasies?  

Truly, truly?

“This is not you…”

When a person says that to you, are they insulting or complimenting you?

The one who this phrase is directed to, prickles, but what does it mean?

If whatever is crowding our minds, troubling our conscience, pressing our wallets, in turn making us lash out at others…as scapegoats…It’s not justified. No way.

But under normal circumstances we wouldn’t pick and jump at any spontaneous annoyances, but some people are like that; jumping at every little provocation, whining, squealing about their day’s troubles, muttering and slamming doors until they get the attention of people around them. What I’m trying to say is ‘that’ behaviour is normal for some super sensitive people.

But get this, these super-sensitive-whiny complainers telling you (relatively calmer people of fewer word and slams) when you’re in a fury or amidst an especially heated rant, “this is not you.”

How do you react?

Family

Family with a capital F.

I'm not talking siblings and parent type family, oh no.
I'm talking, uncles, blasted cousins, aunts that type of crappy Family.

That type of family you spell with the same F as F***.
That type of Family is either a blessing or a curse.
In my case its the latter. You cringe to own them as relations to you.
Rotten luck. Rotten heads. Rotten people.

Its these types of Family that makes one understand quotes like:
'friends are God's apology for relations'

So true.

But the worst part is not admitting that you own this relations,
not even when strangers may step back with frowns when they ask,
'You're the niece of so-and-so?' or 'You're first cousins with them?' and then with raised eyebrows, 'No kidding! we'll be seeing you..' and you'll never see them again.

But when you see the flash of 'something' in your parent's eyes(the parent who owns this relation of course) that closely resembles hurt. Or when us siblings rant about what arseholes said Family is, and then the same parent says, 'He's still my brother you know...' and laugh it off.

But its not a bloody laugh.
Its a pity, that your parent has that excuse for a sibling with such a rotten brain.

So there all you imaginary folks who can sympathize, nod vigorously and rant along with me!

See ya!

Its what I call 'Gripping On'

Why do authors do this with their series?

I  like Morganville series a lot, but take a look at this:
"BLACK DAWN is a staggering #12 in the series, but it’s not the last! In fact, there will be at least 15 novels in the Morganville series, and the next, BITTER BLOOD, is already under construction (and almost done)."

See that?
Once authors make a bang with their books, they don't want to leave their bloody series alone!
I orignally thought this #12 book, Black Dawn was the last in this fabulous series, but NO, it will its now escalating to a whopping 15 books!

I get it, almost most of the mysteries are solved... the machine that keeps Morganville safe, why the vamps chose a town in the sun as apposed to their 'health reasons', the bishop diseas scenario..oh lots got solved, and now what Rachel is bringing in the #13th book?

GHOSTS

Whatever!
Remember Vampire Diaries?
Exactly! That series never ended!
There was the Vampire Diaries four books, and then the Return sereis camo out if I'm not mistaken, and probably the books' still going on now with the Tv series version are also out in books...

Why can't authors just leave their books 'fresh'?
Even if it is ten books, make a blast into the market, and make a dramatic exist, rather than this stale slow never ending death of a promising sereies.
Instead, now they will eventually just wither into oblivion with the rest of 'incapable of ending books!'

Ahh Muhammad Ali!

You gotta love his quotes. Man, he's smart!

Check out my all time favaourites:

“I am America. I am the part you won't recognize. But get
used to me. Black, confident, cocky; my name, not yours;
my religion, not yours; my goals, my own; get used to me.”
― Muhammad Ali

“I Ain't Got No Quarrel With The VietCong...No VietCong Ever Called Me Nigger.”
― Muhammad Ali

“Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn't matter which color does the hating. It's just plain wrong.”
― Muhammad Ali

Blogger Loser

That's what I am.
A blogger Loser. Just look at my last post and its a confirmation.
I am just not cut out for blogging but I'm not quitting just yet.......

To motivate myself.

“To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did”

When Thomas Edison invented the light bulb,

he tried over 2000 experiments before he got it to work.

A young reporter asked him how it felt to fail so many times?

He said, “I never failed once. I invented the light bulb.

It just happened to be a 2000-step process”.

A schoolteacher scolded a boy for not paying attention to his mathematics,

and for not being able to solve simple problems.

She told him that you would not become anybody in life.

The boy was - Albert Einstein

Something to read

I came across this just at the right time.
Isn't this something that just uplifts your spirits?

''Patience with family is love,
Patience with others is respect,
Patience with self is confidence
and Patience with GOD is faith.''

Whoever is the writer of this, I thank you.

Regret is an after thought?

I know, I know.
What do you do when a sibling, an older sibling is royaly mad at you?
The worst part? Its totally your fault!
Ah a predicament right?
Yep. I so did not mean it, but when its your fault,
when you wiped the entire memory of your sister's precious
Blackberry, what on earth will rectify the matter?
Deffinitely not an Adidas T-shirt.
Especially when she writes on her MSN page:
My revenge will not only be sweet but DELICIOUS!
and you know who she's meaning..
Why did I have to fidget???

Family squabbles

What is worse than that? Not living up or down to your siblings?
Or being in no man’s land i.e. between? The odd one out.
I hate it.
And for once I did my utmost by not getting involved although, so many members of my family tried to.

The Book Publishing World

Book Publishers are such great deceivers. Even Liars
They write such inspirational bullshit, about everything in their bloody newsletters, websites or wherever else trying to show them as different to the rest of the publishing world.
But at the end of the day?
They’re all one and the same; a motivated manipulating business that revolves around just like the rest of the world and their stereotypical views.

F.E
