"Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood."

Men confuse the hell out of me. One in particular really confuses me. Lets talk in general though. They send mixed messages. They backtrack. They lie. Their feelings are particularly difficult to understand, so in my search to understand men, yes ladies I am attempting the impossible . I came across this list of secrets, hehe! Should be interesting.... ( These secrets were written by a man, obviously, so don't think I am getting confused by my own sex...waffle, read on...) Sec...

Things seem to hit home alot more when they are exactly that, close to home. Which is a shame. Because it shouldn't, this war has killed alot of people, but it never quite touches you till you see people crying, and hurting, and actually seeing the lives these statistics touch, hearing the words of Ken Bigley's family, the British hostage held by Iraqi kidnappers was nothing less than heartbreaking. Last night the kidnappers declared that unless their demands were met, there is a chance in...

Me and my mobile phone have a love/hate relationship. I love the fact that I can get in touch with people anytime I want, and I hate the fact other people can get in touch with me whenever they want. It's useful, and I would be lost without it, but people bother me! You can switch it off, of course, but them messages are still there waiting for you when you switch it on again. Now some people abuse the right they have to get in touch with me all the time, and mither me at every opportunit...

Arranged marriage is a concept I never really got my head around. I went to a school that had alot of different ethnic groups there. It was also an all girls school. I remember there was Indian girls there, who weren't really interested in work, didn't really care about the usual girly stuff, like how they looked, what the boys thought. Because? They were having an arranged marriage, their life was already set out for them. They didn't have to worry to much, put faith in their parents, ...

Blacklisting I think is a great concept. It allows people to choose who has a say on their blog. It allows them to write things that are close to their heart, yet they don't have to put up with people who are rude, or argue for the sake of it, or say things that aren't relevant to the thread at all. Their blog, is exactly that. Theirs. Because it is their for people to read, people think that gives them some kind of right over it. It really doesn't. That is what your blog is for. Ther...

My life is turning its self upside down and I feel like I have very little control over it. That's what bothers me the most. No control. I hate to think that I am not at the steering wheel, controling what direction I go in. When you make decisions that your heart isn't in, you go into auto-pilot. Like you want to do these things, but you don't actually want to live through doing them. So you somehow turn yourself off and just carry on through life till your head allows you to follow yo...

I had sex education at school ,and it was generally a class I didn't take much notice of. It wasn't like I would have an exam in it, or be tested. So away from the daily grind of Maths and English, it was somewhat of a lighthearted lesson, and that's how it should be dealt with. We also treated it in a juvenile way. Because sex is seen as such a taboo subject, and one that shouldn't be discussed, we generally don't. Especially at that awkward school age. Even the teachers were uncomfort...

I remember my last day of primary school, and we had this assembly where the headteacher discussed with us about how we were going onto new things, and this was just the start, rather than the end. He also said there were two kinds of people in this world. Those that made changes, and those that went with the flow. Those that would stand up for their beliefs, and those that would keep their heads down, and continue the daily grind. I made a vow that day, that I would not be one of these p...

The day is not far off that I am going to be afraid to sneeze in public. I may sneeze in the wrong direction, this may cause someone huge trauma, mental and emotional problems, and then my ass goes to court, they sue the hell out of me, and we all go off and lead our sued filled lives. Am I getting over the top? I really wish I was. Unfortunately this is big business. No longer do we as a general public have to suffer in silence. We can sue for just about anything, whether they be physi...

To be human, means that we have alot of negative aspects of out personality to deal with, along with the good stuff. We are not perfect. Perfection is in the eye of the beholder anyway, well that's beauty but same difference. What is perfect to me, might not be perfect to you. For example I was discussing my perfect date with my friend. Her pefect date, was all romance and roses, which would just make me want to vomit, and sneeze. My perfect date, was going to watch a football match and...

You're having a bad day. A very bad day. You woke up this morning feeling happy. You hopped out of bed, and then it started. You hit your foot getting out of bed, as you're still in half asleep mode. There was no toothpaste. You spill your breakfast down your clean shirt. You argue with your partner before you leave the house. You miss your bus. You are late for work. You have more work that you can cope with. You spend hours on a project, and find out you have to completely re-do ...
