Licence to kill

Am I allowed to buy life insurance on someone else's life and also own a licence to kill him? Right. Then why am I allowed to buy a credit default swap (a form of unregulated insurance) on a company whose bonds I own that will pay me shit loads more money if the company goes bust than if I sell the bonds in the market for a profit? If you can't have your pie and eat it too when it comes to someone's life, why allow it when it comes to their money? It's lethal and deadly. Not even the Mafia could collect life insurance on someone else's life, so why are we still discussing allowing the practice on Wall Street?

Why taking a shit is an intellectual process

You know how some people spend more time in their lifetime reading books in the loo than in a library or study room. Those who spend a lifetime studying in libraries don't give a shit about conducting an intellectual activity anywhere else but the library. Those who spend more time reading books in the loo give way too much shit about conducting their intellectual activity anywhere butt the library. Taking a crap becomes one with the intellectual process. When they don't flush right away, that's trying to retain as much as possible in their memory before it all gets flushed any way...:P:P:P

Sex matters

Women often find themselves stuck with the following dilemma. Should I tell my boyfriend I am not happy with our sex life or hold back to avoid hurting his feelings? I want to ask men. What do you think of women who tell their boyfriends they haven't been good enough in bed only after they break up? Would you rather hear it from her directly or find out through gossip from others, in which case you can deny it's true, bitch on your ex and blame it on her?

Twitterend

That will happen the day twitter allows users to text longer messages. Currently the limit is at 140 characters. Groups of little birds lift the whale out of the water. That's fun to imagine but you got to remember that whales only live underwater. Use larger birds to take the whale out on a longer ride and soon the whale will twitterend. What do you think makes twitter so popular? Sms-short messages or the fact that so many people use it?

Just checkin

Is there anyone who claims they Never had a friend of the opposite sex that, at one time or another, they thought, "should I just sleep with him/her or not?"

Anyone who claims Never, they don't exist :)

Go to this website and surprise your friends with a magic trick. This is not new, but I'm sharing the trick and the explanation for those who haven't seen it or tried it. It's smart. Definitely worth a few seconds to try it.

What you will see when you go to the page is this: you are at the Google homepage, and you casually ask someone to watch the Google logo. Then, you move two of your fingers to completely cover the "o"s in the Google logo. When you remove your fingers, to much surprise, the letters "o" will be missing from the logo. Now you ask your friend to move her fingers over the missing "o"s. After your friend removes the fingers, the logo will be complete again!

The trick here? It's not really the Google homepage you and your friend are looking at, it's a fake page. And when you click on the page, the letters of the logo will disappear after five seconds. Clicking again will make them reappear after five more seconds. So when you move your fingers to cover the Google logo, simply click anywhere on the page, and wait a bit before you remove your fingers...and when your friend covers the letters, you click again. (A third click, by the way, will change the page to an actual Google homepage so you can perform searches to "prove" the page is real :)

Greece declares Buckruptcy!

I feel so depressed.

The Prime Minister announced early elections two years after he had announced early elections citing "Major crisis" then, citing "MAJOR crisis" now.

What so depresses me is that the emphasis in our leader's minds is in capitalizing major than in overcoming our collective crisis.

Elections might prove the best course of action to avoid worse later. But we will only know that after the result of the elections, won't we?

Some people might be feeling elated or relieved. Probably those who see themselves coming into power.

But I'm not feeling happy at all about how our Prime Minister declared my country's sense of buckruptcy. Real Bankruptcy on the horizon folks!

One thing in particular that saddened me was realizing once again that our political world governs everything in relation to what others have done worse, not in relation to their dreams for a better outcome.

They are definitely worse than us so that makes us so much better. Just like that. Vote for us!

If only Einstein had lived in Greece, he would have come up with the theory of relativity at a much younger age. The theory's spirit would have been so obvious to him and would have assured him about the universe too.

That's infinitely certain.

Since in Greece everything is infinitely uncertain, however, I work very hard to eliminate "relative thinking" from my system for the sake of healthy personal growth. It's not that I don't like my relatives or that I want to get rid of them, although getting rid of some of them would be nice.

It's their worst-habit superlatives I can't stand. It hasn't been easy to unplug those even though they never entrenched inside in any grave depth. So I've done it.

And the result has been wonderful. I'm on a path of healthy and rewarding growth when people around me seem confused and lost in theirs.

Yet I can see how those Goddamn bad habits still govern the thinking process of most Greeks around me. Feels like a leech sucking the blood out in remarkable piecemeal fashion. Appetizers first, tzatziki, garlic and a big fat greek salad next, taking us through to the main corpse and then to the Attica desert.

Leaders and followers we all dine alike in our pretty little minds. Everyone is allowed to check out any time we want but we never live for the exit. No will. That's why. It's all about here and now.

Do you still hope this time's here and now will deal a decisive blow to the Greek beast? Keep Walker.

Since no one else seems to be offering Dope or any hope to pin that last drop of dope on, I'll keep drooling on.

I don't know who to vote and I don't care who I will end up voting for in the end. I don't care about people, their names or their faces anymore. Thinking about it makes me sick. Sicking it further, well I don't think I deserve that.

Karamanlis and Papandreou. Same names for so many years. My grandparents voted for them and then they made sure the dealers stayed the same. So that I don't have to bother memorizing any new names. Thanks Grands. Whenever I look for my dope, the same dupes bring it to me.

The ship's sinking everyone. There's only one thought of solace that calms my panic.

Unlike the Atlantic, our warm Mediterranean waters offer hope that those who are good swimmers can make it to the shore alive.

No one will freeze and not everyone will drown, a lot more will be saved.

Captain! (that's what I call him when he gets horny......ideas)...My captain!! Put the old, the sick and the dying on life boats and let the sexy, young and the restless swim to the shore.

"Don't hold Kate!", Leonardo good-boy. That's an order. Throw her into the Greek sharks and shave yourselves onto rocky Mykonos where you can make love all day.

I'm ready for love baby. Greek-style!

Hot, sexy and pro-pleasurist. Full of dope and hope for the future. YeS!

The dope of the matter is, the buck stops with me. And that makes me feel so much better already! :)
