What’s Going on in the World Around Us“Society is always taken by surprise at any new example of common sense.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am, like, sitting in the café, you know, next to two girls, who use “Like” and “You Know” every other word.
They are, like, surprised, you know, that they are unable to, like, get the job that they want…you know.
And, like, I just don’t understand it. You know.
It’s like employers don’t understand brevity.
I recently had a Skype chat with my friend Lynne about sex and the 3 categories of women.
Lynne is French, resides in London, and she runs a Sex in the City type of blog about being single in the city of London. She mentioned to me that she had not had sex in awhile. She speculated that, at this point in her life, she was dormant. Her femininity was there and ready to be activated but, currently, she had no libido. She joked that she should rename her blog No Sex in The City.
So, I said: “I wonder what category you fall into?”
Michael Lewis Princeton Speech, 2012
Michael Lewis, author of the acclaimed books “Liar’s Poker” and “Moneyball”, delivered the baccalaureate speech at Princeton on June 3rd, 2012 and put forth some interesting theories regarding the role of luck in successful people.
These words have caused quite a stir, most notably among successful people who refuse to acknowledge that luck played quite a role in their successes.
Are you addicted to Facebook?
Ooops, forgive me, what addict knows of their addiction? Well, as expressed in the 12 steps of addiction recovery, the first step is admitting your problem.
Facebook addicts have modified the traditional AA twelve steps recovery program by substituting the word “Alcohol” with “Facebook” as you see in this modified Facebook addiction declaration example below:
If you have ever heard people talking about something called “Molly”, you certainly may wonder “what is Molly?”
I have just returned from the Electric Forest Music Festival where the question was not “what is Molly?” but rather “do you know where I can get some Molly?”
Why would people be asking this at a music festival, you ask. Well, it’s because Molly is a drug and Molly is slang for pure ecstasy, also known as MDMA.
If you would like to know the Best Free People Finder, we have it for you.
Many of us are searching for people finders searches that are free because many of the websites that claim they “totally free people find” in fact do not.
The best free people finder bar none is called ZabaSearch.com. Like Google, ZabaSearch has an incredibly simple interface to use. There are just two simple search boxes on the homepage: “People Search By Name” and “Search by Phone Number”.
There are many different ways to wake up. You can’t control them; they just are.
I liked the way I woke today. Normally, I wouldn’t have liked it because I woke up too early. When you wake up too early, it often means that you did not get enough sleep. Who wants to start a new day without enough sleep the night before?
I saw an average looking woman driving a Porsche the other day. The Porsche was incredible, but the woman driving it remained average.
If the situation was reversed, and I were a woman looking at a man driving a Porsche, the car would remain incredible, but the man driving it might also become better looking.
Why is this? Is the old double-standard coming into play?
There are many intelligent woman I know that would say: “A man does not become any hotter because he drives an awesome car.”
I am going to give you a simple explanation of Spanish Pronouns and when to use “La” vs “Le” vs “Lo” vs “Se”. In fact, it might be too simple so I will also give you resources that make it more complicated.
One of the most difficult things when learning Spanish is understanding the use of pronouns. And, learning these pronouns academically is only part of the battle. The other part is actually understanding native speakers when they string all of these pronouns together.
Are you feeling lucky? There’s a lottery going on right now and you could run out and buy a ticket.
Do you know that today, there are hundreds of people who are going to visit google or other search engines and type in the following: “What are the most lucky mega numbers played?” You might be one of them.
But you might not want to win the lottery today. This sounds silly I know (who would not delight in winning $3,000,000 today?). But experts say that “excessive wealth, particularly for people unaccustomed to it, such as lottery winners, can actually cause unhappiness.” In fact, over 1/3 of lottery winners end up declaring bankruptcy.
Erica DePalo, Teacher of the Year, Accused of Rape
A former “teacher of the year”, Erica DePalo, has been accused of having sex with one of her students. DePalo, who won the New Jersey Teacher of the Year Award, is now faced with charges of first-degree aggravated assault. But, is this assault?
To any mothers out there, this story certainly is offensive. “Someone has violated my little boy,” would certainly be their pervasive sentiment. And, to make matters worse, this teacher is in a trusted position of authority. She has abused this trust and physically assaulted a little boy.
For men, the first question that comes to mind is: “Is she hot?” So, let’s take a look at photos of the teacher, Erica DePalo, to determine just how abused the child was.

I came across a question today that many people ask: “Why were black people called negros?” I am going to research the history of this term, but my guess is that the term comes from the Spanish word for black, which is negro.
It turns out that the term negro actually originated with the Portuguese (whose language is very similar to Spanish). Around 1442, the Portuguese were trying to find a sea-route to India and discovered sub-Saharan Africa in the process. There, they discovered black people and referred to them as negro, their word for the color black.
Should the word “The” be capitalized in a title?
I recently received this email from a visitor: “My company has asked me to write several articles and many contain the word ‘the’ in the title. I haven’t studied grammar in years and I can’t remember whether the word The should be capitalized in the title or not. Help!” Thanks, Barb from Sherman Oaks.
On a recent visit to San Francisco, I learned that a large number of guys do Match.com (as well as Tinder obviously) to get dates.
These are not guys you would consider pathetic or lame but guys who could get dates in the real world. However, they get even more dates on Match.com and the rewards are rather…instantaneous.
On a Wednesday, my friends and I were setting up a round of golf. We called Jim to be the fourth player.
“Jim, can you play on Friday?”, we asked.
“Nope,” he responded, “I’m going out with this girl from Match.” Saturday? “Got a lunch date from Match and then going out with another one Saturday night.” Sunday? “Going on a picnic with a girl from Match.” After the picnic? “Got a dinner date.”
