Are you staying true to yourself?

admin — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 14:33:06 +0000

Staying true to yourself: businesses go on about it, mentors at school love nothing more than to lecture you about it, and people in general worry about it. And all that is for a reason. Staying true to yourself is vital, and it applies to everything you have ever done and will ever do.

So, here are a few questions for you to answer. The point is not to make you feel bad about yourself, but to face up to home truths; something that we all need to do from time to time, and a fact of life which must never be neglected! Who knows, maybe it’ll inspire you to change the way you live your life and do things. That surely cannot be a bad thing.

Are you staying true to what you want to do in life? If you hate your job, do something about it

1) Are you staying true to the way you feel about the environment? It’s all very good and well complaining about the current price of heating oil but are you going out of your way to seek an alternative? There are just as many oil suppliers out there as there are suppliers of food, soap and clothing. Be true to yourself by hunting out the deals which make you glow and feel like you are living life the best way for you.

2) Are you staying true to the way you feel about your partner? Relationships run into difficulties, that much is obvious. But that’s no reason to treat your partner badly or go behind their back. Instead, face up to the issue. If you are upset with the way they are treating you, having a quiet word or heart-to-heart can change things for good in the best way imaginable.

3) Are you staying true to your friends? Yes you send a happy birthday message on Facebook, but that isn’t really the same thing as calling round their house or calling them on their phone, is it? No! So change things for good and put a smile on someone’s face. They’ll love you forever for it and you’ll feel infinitely better, too.

4) Are you staying true to what you want to do in life? If you hate your job, do something about it. If you feel like writing that novel you always dreamed of, you know where to begin: type something, type anything. But more importantly than all, stop sitting there waiting for inspiration to strike you down. If it never comes you will be sorry you didn’t just start and see where things might lead you.

Portable CD player love

admin — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 10:56:22 +0000

Between the ages of 16 and 18, I was physically attached to my CD player at all times. The only times I wasn’t attached to it were as I undressed to get in the bath, and sometimes when I woke up in the morning to go to college (the ear-phones would fall out of my ears sometime during the night; I always liked to fall asleep listening to my favourite music). And if I’d have had my way then CD players would have ruled for all time. It did everything I needed a music box to. What I really didn’t want was another invention to come along and wipe this gorgeous thing off the face of the Earth.

But it happened. One day I turned up at college and the atmosphere was….different. Not a portable CD player in sight: instead, they all had mini-discs.

Anyway, it didn’t matter what everyone else did. I knew it was a fad like hybrid cars and rubbish pop-music, so I just kept going. I kept listening to my CD player all the way up until I was about 20.

Then, around that time, things changed. Even I was starting to find lugging various CDs around a bit of a pain. And besides that, the lure of a smaller MP3 player – which never skipped and was loads lighter – was too much to resist.

So that was it. The CD player was relegated to my wardrobe. As I shut the door I almost had a tear in my eye. Thinking about it now, I think I know what I am gonna do next time I head up to my room. Just for old times'sake.

Hands off My TV

admin — Mon, 30 May 2011 11:03:05 +0000

I’m still attached to my old TV and I think it’s a problem. Call it nostalgia. It’s not that I long for the days when I had to get up to change the channel or adjust rabbit ears to achieve the perfect signal. For some reason I am simply drawn to the traditional black box of the television. I guess one reason that I prefer watching TV on the actual television is because it’s one of the few pieces of technology that is actually used for one thing. When I turn on my TV I know I’m only going to watch TV. I may have to choose from hundreds of mostly bland channels, but at least I know I’m not going to be doing price comparisons on ceiling fans, or searching for cheap flights for a trip that I can’t afford, or looking up some obscure condition my hypochondriac tendencies have conjured up. TV is one of the few one-use devices I can turn to and boy do I cling to it. I guess it reminds me of simpler times. You know, when phones only made calls. I’m no luddite, believe me, but I try to keep things simple. Televisions keep things simple for me. So do slide rules, but I have my boundaries. We all have our personal boundaries. So I order all my TV shows on itunes or amazon on demand so I can watch what I want when I want, because that’s a convenience in which I gladly partake. But then I use another gadget to make those videos play on my TV. By doing this I feel like I’m having it both ways – old and new. And I don’t have to chase down Ashton Kutcher’s latest tweets while I’m watching repeats of That 70’s Show. Boundaries.

Ladies appear in all various sizes and shapes just like recruitment software is good for different personality types. The four kinds of common physiques consist of pear physique, apple physique, rectangle physique and hourglass physique. These four types of styles need specific style ideas that will end up being complementing for each physique. Look below to discover the style ideas for different entire body kinds.

For a lady who is categorized into the group of apple physique, she must put on clothing that will get rid of the increased exposure of her waistline and reduce the physical appearance of her wide shoulder blades. She can also pull the interest to her lower limbs by putting on shorter dresses that are tunic style.

A female who has a triangle or pear shaped physique however, can pull the emphasis to her top. To produce a much better balanced top and lower entire body, select broader neck types of clothing combined with darker bottoms. An optical illusion of slimmer looking lower limbs can be achieved by putting on boot-cut denims.

Cancer Tattoos for Girls

admin — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 17:06:21 +0000

Recently I went horseback riding and I really enjoyed it. The owner of the stable was there telling us about his business and how difficult it is to find good horses, trainers, horse insurance, and finding ways to grow the business. On our way home we stopped at a tattoo shop and I wanted to get a Cancer tattoo. Why? Because I am a cancerian and because I believe that tattoos are considered as one of the best ways to express your personality. It’s a good way to let the world notice your existence and identity.

Cancer is represented by two symbols only The Cancer glyph and the Crab. Bo th these signs can be found in various tattoo designs and they are getting very popular these days.

Many girls like to place the crab on their lower backs, above the ankles, shoulder blades and the side of their navels. It is available in various sizes and shapes and the tattoo is inked in various color combination. You can go for the real crab or choose something different like ethnic design.

The glyph tattoo looks like a 9 and a 6 or you can think of two lowercase ‘b'letters. The design is quite simple and it looks attractive on girls. Girls also include wings, flowers or cancer ribbons with it.

The final design of these tattoos depends on the wearer. It can represent their nature or personality. Before choosing any tattoo, you should know that it’s very hard to get rid of it once you ink the tattoo.

Beat That Spider Freakage!

admin — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 22:33:04 +0000

For as long as I can remember, and well before I can remember, I have been terrified of spiders. The ones which always do my head in the most are the ones with the fangs…you know the ones: black, big bodied, long legs that taper at the ends. And they run in a way which is somehow more thoughtful than smaller spiders. It’s almost as if they know your fear and are making rational decisions on how to assault it next…

But last Wednesday, I decided I had had enough of being beaten by spider freakage. I wanted to banish it once and for all. To do this I would have to at least touch a spider. I did ponder picking one up, but then I quickly decided against it.

And so I had to first find a spider. Don’t ask me why, but it was really hard to find one. This only panicked me more…if the spiders knew that I was coming after them, how clever could they be when working as a collective?

I did find one in the end. It crept out from under the radiator, offering itself up. I tried to think about other things, boring things, stuff like worldwide roaming plans etc, and then I reached out and touched it and felt my heart stop.

Then, something magic happened. It started again! The spider retreated, I drew my hand back and savoured the feeling of touching a spider and not vomiting.

That was a good day.

Down The Shed

admin — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 12:03:05 +0000

One thing I love about coming home to my old family abode is going down the shed. Going down the shed is sort of magical for me. It’s still got a lot of my old stuff in it from when I was a kid – bike parts, old remote-control car bits and bobs, kites – and opening that door is like seeing who I was all those years ago. Every time I go down there I get a pleasant surprise. I find something I haven’t seen in twenty years, or something else which for the life of me I can never remember using (probably because I never did use it; which brings on a massive guilt-trip, but still…).

Fortunately for me the she is a relatively spider-free zone. People think of sheds being inhabited by thousands of spiders, hiding in the shadows, but in my experience it’s not like that. The shed is way too cold for them, that’s why they make the massive epic journey down the garden path and into the house.

Among the many things down the shed is an old projector my Grandparents gave me when I was younger. The thing was a death-trap – it heated up to an unbearable temperature in a matter of minutes – but I got it out the other day and ran some slides through it, feeling the thing about to explode next to me, watching the colours morph and change on the white wall in my old bedroom.

Independence is great – you can buy a global sim for your mobile when you want, and you don’t have to rely on your Dad for pocket money – but there’s just something about living at home close to the shed that I miss. I think you know what I mean?
