New Year's Resolution

I'm gonna take it easier on myself ... think less work harder
I'm lucky with the life that I have right now and it could only become better! Time to get over the past and accept what happened can't be changed ... give it a nod and move on.

Not to mention that I'm buying a new kick ass computer xD

it's gonna be a good year

A champion is born

I'm so proud! I really am! Even through all the hardships that she's going through, people who don't believe in her! the internal struggles that she has to go through, the lack of support from the people that loves her, she made it! she proved them all wrong! and came on top victorious!

My little own personal triumph was that the words that I had told her actually made a difference! She listened and knew that I wasn't cynical but true, and She came on top victorious!

So proud!

You meet different types of people as you go on in life, some of them you like, some of them you can't stand, some you appreciate their company, others you can't get enough of and some that are close enough to you that you consider as friends.

However, the rarest breed of people for you to meet are people that INSPIRE you. You could go on a life time without meeting a single person of that sort ... but once you do they greatly influence the way you view your own life and create ways for you to make it better. I was lucky enough to meet several in the most uninspiring of places.

Worst part is, those people don't always know how to inspire themselves, you find yourself helpless now that the tables have turned. They will snap out of it, that much I know for sure.

Use your vocabulary!

Don't ask me why but i notice people's speaking patterns! Even worse, I count! So if someone says "actually" a lot, I'd be counting the times that he/she has said "actually" in a conversation. This weird habit it seems that it annoys the hell out of me without anyone knowing why or even noticing it.

Actually that's the first time you said it today

I don't mean to be the geek that keeps on correcting people; but when someone is telling me a story and it goes like this: so i met this amazing guy and we went to this amazing place and we had an amazing time bla amazing bla! I just fucking flip!!! there are like 10000000 other adjectives that you could use to indicate that you are having a good time! use them for crying out loud! stop torturing me!

Also, some people seem to find certain words "more professional" than others and that becomes their staple! I know a guy that whenever he turns into his 'professional' persona he starts using the word "interesting" to describe EVERY FUCKING THING! I feel as if a little worm starts eating the back of my head and is forcing it's way through my eyelids! NO! IT'S NOT THAT FUCKING INTERESTING! IT'S ACTUALLY AS BORING AS FUCK! And no, it's not really that professional either! I imagine it being said in the most ridiculous of circumstances.

Not really

Broaden your vocabulary! use more adjectives! and stop posing! nobody likes posers! They suck! and they're definitely not interesting!

YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!

Men lose their minds speaking to pretty women

I found a research that actually proves my point! it shows that men who spend even a few minutes in the company of an attractive woman perform less well in tests designed to measure brain function than those who chat to someone they do not find attractive. Guys literally lose their minds in the presence of an attractive woman!

Researchers who carried out the study, published in the Journal of Experimental and Social Psychology, think the reason may be that men use up so much of their brain function or 'cognitive resources' trying to impress beautiful women, they have little left for other tasks.

Women, however, were not affected by chatting to a handsome man. This may be simply because men are programmed by evolution to think more about mating opportunities.

Psychologists at Radboud University in The Netherlands carried out the study after one of them was so struck on impressing an attractive woman he had never met before, that he could not remember his own fucking address when she asked him where he lived.

Well ... I ... Erm ... You're pretty!

To see if other men were affected in the same way, they recruited 40 male heterosexual students. Each one performed a standard memory test then spent seven minutes chatting to male or female members of the research team before repeating the test.

The results showed men were slower and less accurate after trying to impress the women. The more they fancied them, the worse their score. But when the task was repeated with a group of female volunteers, they did not get the same results. Memory scores stayed the same, whether they had chatted to a man or a woman.

Psychologist Dr George Fieldman, a member of the British Psychological Society, said the findings reflect the fact that men are programmed to think about ways to pass on their genes.

'When a man meets a pretty woman, he is what we call 'reproductively focused' aka 'Horny'.
