Current mood:  flirty
Open your eyes
She stands right before you
The girl,
the one who desires you
Just open your eyes
Look with your heart
and not your mind
She stands right before you
The girl,
the one who wishes for you
Take her hand
Take her heart
She gives both willingly
Just open your eyes
Look with your heart
and not your mind
She stands before you
The girl,
the one who loves you
Take a chance,
take a risk,
just take her hand
and her heart will follow
Take a chance ,
take a risk
Just take her love........

Now before I begin, this is not something x-rated or adult, it is just what happening around us. Please note that this is "supposed to be" a funny review and I request you to read and enjoy it in the way it is presented.....

There’s too much mental telepathy at work these days.

Imagine how much easier it would be if everyone simply stated what they wanted. Rather than making grand assumptions about other people’s motives, we might actually start getting our needs met.

Lies seem to be the in thing. It has no origin, and has lost its actual source and flavor. Nowadays, a lie is so obvious, something to be made mockery of. It sucks.

Hey, I didn't say that...... Say what ?

Well then it may have been somebody else’s soliloquy, but I feel your anger. This is the usual form of conversation these days

It's become very difficult to function with images nowadays, i.e., on a virtual reality basis.

Now returning to where we started.... the market at present, works on a funny standard, that is a 1,2, and 1,2,0 and a 1,2,3 standard. So basically you got to write down each move [i.e., if you have the time and you are quick on the uptake, by market standards] or else, you are lost!

So, where were we now ?

Now did someone say some-thing ?

Must make an appointment with my psychiatrist!

Now let’s create A as the demand and B as the supply and C as the constant. so that whenever there is a break in communication we can always move over to the other side. In other words, you have to know both sides……….

Oops... ego beckons.... Let’s bathe in it.... or else C cannot control the neurotic....

Now where do the male and female elements fit in such a process ?

NLP or neuro-linguistic-programming should be a lot more organized.... as few understand it

One of the hottest ideas in today’s minds, or let me put it in a better way "the current market mindset" is driven by female masturbation....

Personally, I have nothing against it nor in anybody pleasuring herself, it is just the fact that I don’t own a vibrator store. I could have at least could have made a killing out of this mindset.

Leaving bad investments and dreams aside, if this mindset continues we can definitely expect a lot of ideas to "flow"

The most interesting and humorous aspect is that the female community is going at it with no "hang-ups" let alone, any qualms in discussing same. It is just another "finger in the pie" aspect. Worst case - fingers in different pies, at least from their point of view....

They don’t even need a gynecologist these days

Does this mindset extend to the male species, some of you may ask ?

The male has been at it for centuries.

Unfortunately this turn of mindset has been quite shocking for the member. He for one has never thought of competition from the opposite species. In a way the male member has lost its usual regalia and position and as a result needs some coaxing to even to get in to his previous position, let alone get going...

The jamming is so much that he misinterprets any ideas and as a result he ends up in the man-hole - this for sure isn’t the right path to ecstasy.

It is funny that all this while.... the male species had their fingers in any hole they could find and suddenly, they are out of a job and landing in their own.

Absolutely a drastic thought....

We need a change...

Or else, after the glitter fades, beneath the leather and lace, we're just scared, trying to learn how to love, amid the gaudy after images. And when darkness falls, and we crouch naked and are alone in our slack, aging bodies, snuffling with fear, and snarling at the grinning phantasms of our toilet-flushed dreams, with a fistful of pills to keep us company.

For starters, we could try and think the opposite ... with their members and the male man-hole...

Masturbation apart, let's take on an another issue - to use our ability to laugh.

It is the most powerful thing that we have been given and it is our greatest gift, especially if we can "laugh at ourselves".

When you make fun of what frightens you, you get a mastery over it and gain control.

So go ahead, act silly.

Let yourself act silly and share it.

Laughter is contagious. So, when you’re happy and you’re laughing it rubs off on people as everyone has a sense of humor, although few use it to the maximum

When you throw your head back and laugh, you’re not thinking of anything else.

So, here is an anecdote for the day ....

It's a beautiful spring day and a man and his wife are at the zoo. She's got on a close-fitting, low-cut, summer dress with spaghetti straps. As they walk through the ape exhibit, and pass in front of a very large gorilla, it goes ape.

He jumps up on the bars, he grunts, he pounds his chest. He is obviously excited at the sight of the young lady in the sundress. The husband, noticing the ape’s excitement, suggests that his wife tease the ape.

The husband suggests that she pucker her lips and wiggle her bottom.... She does, and Mr. Gorilla gets even more excited, making noises that would wake the dead...

Then her husband suggests that she let one of the straps of her dress slips down....She does and Mr. Gorilla is about to tear down the bars....

Her husband suggests she lift her dress up her thighs and she does. This about drives Mr. Gorilla crazy....

Then quickly the husband grabs his wife, rips open the door to the cage, flings her inside with the gorilla, slams the door shut and gleefully rubbing his hands together says...... Now, tell him you have a headache................. !!

Laughter is the best thing you can do for your health.

So, the old saying that 'laughter is the best medicine' definitely appears to be true.

So, go ahead and just appreciate the importance of laughter

A lot of people get down to try and "make money from blogging" only to give it up down the line. I have listed 9 of the "blogging mistakes" that they should avoid and try not falling into the trap.

Not Updating Your Blog

You set up a blog and is all excited about it. For a few days, you get down to do a furry of posts and the excitement may extend to even a few weeks. And then, kaput, it is all over. The numbers of posts reduce and gradually the blog is totally forgotten.


PLEASE remember, don't ever fall into this trap. You can even hire a person to write the blog posts for you. Just remember that nothing kills a blog faster than the lack of updates. So, once again, I request you to maintain a blog “posting frequency” and stick to it. You will thank me for it later. Try and maintain one post per day or try allocating half an hour for your blog per day. A blog that is not updated regularly is as good as a dead blog and do you want that to happen to you ?

Blogging Only For Money

A lot of people have asked me quite often whether they could "make money from blogging"; and the answer to that question is YES !! But I have also told them that it is possible for anyone, to "make money from blogs". But the reality is that, most people who write blogs exclusively to make money really DON'T make a lot of money.

Now why is that ??

Some of the many reasons for this is because blogging is an organized, disciplined and ongoing process and fresh content is always necessary and no sooner people forego this due to other commitments, they lose out. This is one of the reason why more that 80% if not 90% of the bloggers don't "make money from blogging". Also don't think when people tell you that blogging only for money is bad. It is just that you expect results too soon and you invariably cave in and forget about it. You do this daily bit and suddenly you will be shocked to receive this check and will be thinking whether this was due to your efforts.

So, go ahead enjoy it - think of it as a part time hobby. There is also no harm if you lose your spontaneity - just have a back-up blogger or writer ready to write those posts for you.


Proofread, Proofread And Proofread

Always proofread your post prior to posting it. What I mean to say, all of us make mistakes while typing. The proof of this is the number of mistakes that you tend to make while chatting with a friend (and you take it for granted your friend on the other side understands your mistakes).

But in a blog post, you cannot overlook this mistake, you have to proofread it atleast twice, before posting it. If you write something at night, just save it and read it twice in the morning before posting. You will notice the difference.

Ofcourse, recently, there have been a number of blogs that have wantonly come out with posts that contain mistakes - but they can afford to do so. This is because, this is their USP (unique selling proposition). In other words, they are writing for their friends. Their friends tend to understand their slangs and mistakes better than correct perfect sentences. In other words, it is slang what sells.  But this can be applied to only a small percentage of people (generally the younger generation). Besides, you also need to have a large reader base or friend base


Be Personal

This is another important aspect that you have got to remember. Writing for a blog and writing an article are two distinct styles. Blogging is more personal. It is as if you are having a conversation with a virtual partner and not providing advise to a class or lecturing a room of students on a topic. While your knowledge of the topic would be appreciated, you lose out on the personal side – so write for your readers

But another mistake, don’t get too personal – control your language, no f’s and sh*t and other lose slang – whatever said, people respect you more without it.

I hope you get the point with regard to blogging being more personal


Respond To Comments

Responding to comments is what brings back readers to you. Successful bloggers always interact with their readers and they try and establish a link or a connection with their readers. Once you establish a connection with your readers, they will often drop by your blog to check what you have written recently. Very important


Be Original

Again, if you find some interesting topic in some other source, say a blog or a website link – give them credit. It gives your blog a lit more value.

You don’t need a small post to ruin your reputation.

You may have not realized and could have got carried away by the source – but sometimes the feedbacks could be nasty. So try and be original. In fact, people would most probably be only happy to have their topic copied, if proper credit was given to them. Say, an additional link.


Writing For The Searching Engines Instead Of People

People get carried away by key phrases, tags, keyword density, making sure that it is Google friendly and the rest of the jazz. But what they tend to forget is that it is people who would be reading their post and not search engines.

Now I am not saying that you don’t have to be worried about SEO and keyword densities, but your first priority should always be your readers. When you proofread your post for the post for the second time, check for the keywords and their positioning and basic optimization, i.e., opening, end and the middle should be optimized well with the main keyword. That’s more than sufficient.


Not Being Passionate About Your Topic

Successful bloggers are always passionate about their topic and they also maintain a high blog posting frequency. Now if you have ten blogs and you say that you are passionate about all of them – how are you able to maintain your blog posting frequency ?

Practically impossible !

So one or two blogs max with a decent degree of passion will get you more distance than 10 blogs with no passion or a zero posting frequency !


Try Giving Your Readers The RSS Facility

Now, I am not certain that this would increase your reader-base, but do it – it has helped me. Generally, people in the same line prefer to interact with each other, share ideas and help each other and the RSS facility is a big help

Lastly, for those with intentions on "how to earn money on the internet" or on "how to make money from blogging" try and get my Freelancing And Blogging Handbook

It could help you get your act sorted and organised sooner than you think... So let’s get down and begin to "make money from blogging
