Tattoo Evolution

So it's with some trepidation that I share this one thought that comes to mind when I look at a 3D tattoo. Evolution!! What if it could be made to animate on your skin? :)

RATE YOUR EMOTIONAL WELLBEING

Organisations use IQ tests and other like tests as a means to assess candidates' suitability for a job. Why don't social matchmaking services use this technique to rate a person's emotional wellbeing and their suitability for a healthy relationship. It can be an option and if the other person is hesitant to take the test, that could already be an indication that they have something to hide. The other person who wants to find out doesn't have to be an expert in the field either, as they can just be given a summary on whether this person is reliable, genuine and suited to their needs. Current matchmaking tests, I assume, just judge suitability by comparing interests, hobbies etc. Better to have a more in-depth psychological analysis to determine true compatibility.

Marry in Heaven

Sort of. Since for most people Heaven is imagined as a place to be found somewhere up in the sky, I suggest we solemnly pause and give some thought to the idea of organizing wedding ceremonies up in the sky. Skydiving priests, a nicely decorated plane with large windows and a few weeks of skydiving training for the couple and guests to replace months of wed planning on the ground. Before the vows are given and the couple's ready to kiss, the door opens and everyone goes out the door. When the priest says, 'And now I pronounce you husband and wife', the parachute opens and the groom may kiss the bride all the way to the ground...

Untitled = Default Title

Generally, an untitled work is the result of a conscious choice by the artist or creator not to apply a title. If the artist is sincere about the choice of leaving the work without a title, then the title should be left blank. Filling it up with the word 'Untitled' makes it titled. If you leave it blank, can't I see there is no title? Why do you have to explain it to me? Just a thought!

Athens metro cheat

If you've been to Athens and used the metro you must have noticed that entry to the station requires ticket validation but unlike London or New York where entry requires the opening of gates to pass through, there is no such thing in Athens. The ticket is valid for 1.5 hours and the price is same for all destinations which makes the ticket transferable. If you see a ticket left around on the validation machine, it's probably because someone left it there to be used by someone else. Next time you're in Athens and use the metro, check to see if there is a ticket on the validation machine before buying a new one.

The measure of wealth

Measure wealth not by the things you have but by the things you have for which you would not take money.

So how wealthy are you today?

Sweet and Salty

Food without salt is hopelessly boring. Life without sweetness is life without pleasure. To eat something sweet and salty is a complicated taste sensation. I believe that at the apex of all culinary sophistication lies the tasty conundrum of a sweet and salty life...

FindExcuse.com

Why isn't there a website where you can get excuses for all sorts of situations you can find yourself into? Sometimes you only have a few minutes to think of a good one to say and can't get your friends on the phone. The excuses must be ranked according to how well they work.

If you were a bachelor which type would you be?

1. A selfish, undeserving guy who has cheated some woman out of a divorce.

2. A person who doesn't have to leave a party just when he starts to have a good time.

3. A man who missed the opportunity to make a woman miserable.

Remind yourself of this joke when...

As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Herman, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on 280 Interstate. Please be careful!"

"It's not just one car," said Herman. "It's hundreds of them!"

China's Umbrella

When I think of China's rise, I think of the umbrella metaphor. The Chinese never ask for reassurance that they are a global power. They know they are or they know they will get there. How that will happen is fascinating to me. My sense is that China sees the United States as an umbrella under which they will rise peacefully but some day they will fold the umbrella down and step forth as number one. Can we imagine a world where the Chinese are clearly number one?

What's your impression of Obama's beliefs on war?

My impression is that Obama doesn't believe in war and wants to stir the world in that direction. That's not to say he doesn't believe in the use of force to go after terrorists in Pakistan. From his speeches and interviews, however, I rarely get the impression that in the back of his mind he seriously contemplates an attack on Iran or North Korea as the right policy, even if forced into that situation. Excluding another direct attack on America, I have the feeling Obama might be the first President to end his term(s) without presiding over a war.

Michael Were You OK?

We'll miss you although your work stays forever. Annie's OK Michael. Were you OK Michael? Every time I watch your videos I wonder whether you were truly happy in your life when you were not dancing. We loved your dancing genius. Forever, Michael!

LOVE DETECTOR TEST

How many people actually marry for genuine love and not for other reasons?
Imagine if everyone had to sit a love detector test, which, like a lie detector test, would be wired up to a machine and asked questions about their true intentions in marriage and find out whether their goals are conflicting. If one or both of the couple scores less than 80%, they have to then sit through mandatory couple counselling sessions to sort out their differences and work out whether each person has the ability to fulfill the other person's needs.

Some common examples of reasons people seek marriage other than love:
- Money/Lifestyle/Status
- "I want a baby!!!"
- "I'm getting old"
- "I can't do better so I'll have to settle for him/her"
- "I want someone to make me happy (because I don't know how to be happy otherwise!")
- All of the above

Then there's the most common one that many mistake for genuine love (the kind that makes for a long-term fulfilling marriage). This is the endorphin-charged "head in the clouds" in love feeling, which is just a temporary state. People who thrive on this buzz are the serial brides and grooms, who the moment they find this feeling, feel the desire to rush down the aisle of marriage.

Store images on a globe

Maybe this is already available... but...I think it would be really cool to have a computer program that stores all your images on a big globe that you can zoom into, just like on Google maps.

what the web says about you

the first keyword to use on google alerts should be your name, be notified when someone writes anything about you anywhere on the web or uses your name without your permission on a blog or other site.

Your cell phone can repell mosquitos

That's right, I just heard about a software that you install on your cell phone and supposingly repels mosquitos within 2m range of the phone. Do you really believe these things work or smart people who thought of these ideas first figured out a way to make millions why you with your phone are testing to see if it really works? For sure the marketing works!

That's why I never complain...

I never do it. I hate it. It's lowlife, anathema, excrement and abomination. It makes me sick and puke. I Really don't like it. Complaining sucks. It gets on my nerves. It's for losers and I'm not one of them. I am Sooo good at not complaining. Enough! :D:D:D

Sometimes I just like to bitch

I hate when I complain about my job, and someone says, "Why don't you look for something else?" I don't want to look for something else. I want to stay in my comfort zone and bitch about this job. And anyway, the economy.
