How hard is it to follow instructions?

Seriously it seems like it is the hardest thing in the world. You put up signs or have some rules and people just do what they want with no regard for anything. Oh a school zone 20mph...let me go 45 because I can and who cares I am so cool I don't have to do what anyone tells me.

When i was 13 i got run over by a car in a school zone almost tore my left leg off below the knee, the lady was going about 50 mph i was on a bike, yes i get mad when some butt wipe will not go by the rules and i will go out of my way to make their life hell while they are near me. If you're telling me how to do something or how to get somewhere I can follow directions, but if it's just arbitrary "these are the rules because so and so said" I don't pay attention. I could, but I won't. think it all depends on what the "directions" are and who created/established them. If one doesn't respect the source of them, or the reason behind them, then the likliness of them being followed is low.

 It's sort of like following a recipe for a cake.
The recipe calls for 2 tbs of butter - you lend the recipe to a friend. They make the cake but it does not come out very well and they wonder why! Upon questionning I discovered the friend had used margarine instead of butter. But life's like that! Some people just never learn.

15 minutes of fame!

Being a world famous for only fifteen mins!!! Hectic is it not? Andy Warhol said, “In the future everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes” – You can’t choose the 15 minutes but why would you be world famous. “15 minutes of fame (or famous for 15 minutes) is an expression which refers to the fleeting condition of celebrity that grabs into an object of media attention, then passes to some new object as soon as people's attention spans are exhausted. It is often used in reference to figures in the entertainment industry and other areas of popular culture” (Wikipedia).

   Online media has presented numerous possibilities for everyone to be world famous, speaking of twitter, facebook, blogs etc one can be famous. Thanks to the blogs now people can text your name on Google and there comes your name (that makes us celebs for even more than 15 mins).

  Other than that the old traditional media: television, radio and the likes can also make you a world’s celeb for a few minutes. I have been on television (on Your Date With Destiny) more than five minutes I guess and that contributed to my celebrity encounter.

  So I fully agree that everyone in future would be world famous for 15 minutes or more but now I think people can choose when and through which media they can be famous

Happy People!

It’s easy to be negative when talking about people of color, but I try to be as positive as possible. And there’s nothing more positive than understanding other people’s deferences, Last year, Ricky Martin made a splash by (finally) coming out. After that, it seemed like Martin was on a perpetual media blitz, with his magazine covers, his book and TV specials featuring his boyfriend, ex-boyfriend and children.  Watching Martin come out was probably less exciting than watching him hide it for all those years, but seeing a hot Latin man comfortable and at peace with himself is important for all the young gays out there.

While we’re on Martin, can we talk about the lack of a prominent out (by any label) rapper and hip-hop star? We get rumors – but no confirmation. It’s all terribly sad, exhausting and unnecessary. Where is the pioneer? I’m hoping that 2012 will give us at least one or two more people of colour who will come out. Although Travan Free's coming out as bisexual. I’m looking forward to seeing a well-made film about being Asian-American, black and Latino. All in all, though, I’m pumped for 2012. Each year brings exciting new scandals, films, works of art and vibrant personalities

A skill set called leadership.

There seems to be an selection of information out there on leadership. Are they born? Are they made? What skills and qualities do they posses? How to become an effective leader? You could probably read yourself blue on all the theories and explanations of what constitutes great leadership.

People are born leaders, you can teach someone the skills of a leader but you cannot teach someone to be a leader. Leader are not necessary educated people, they are people with the skill to change other people to think the way that they think. Leaders don’t earn money for being leaders, but they earn respect from their followers. They are not necessary selected by someone to be leaders but they have the natural instinct to be in the front of everyone and lead. Not everyone can be a leader, some people are born followers and there’s nothing wrong with being a follower because leaders need followers who will support them. Leaders don’t have to make decision, but they facilitate decision process so that the desirable outcome can be reached. Leaders are people who see everyone’s success as their success, because if one part of the team is not putting its weight than the entire team will suffer.

FLU!

Although I get my flu shot every fall, I still manage to contract at least one nasty bug each winter. The shot reduces my chances of getting influenza up to 90%, but i don't have to stop there. I can significantly improve the odds of staying healthy all winter until spring time by following a few simple rules.

First, I need to know what im up against. In addition to the flu, the average adult suffers anywhere from one to three respiratory illnesses a year, nearly all of them caused by viruses and most of them occurring in the fall and winter. Winter also tends to bring out the kind of bad habits--from overindulging at parties to letting exercise routines slide--that make the body more susceptible to infection.

The reason we get colds in winter isn't directly linked to cold weather, of course. It's that we spend more time indoors with other people and their germs. If you really wanted to make sure you never suffered another cold, you would avoid all contact with other people as well as anything they had ever touched. And you would certainly abandon those ritual handshakes and cheek pecks. Why? Respiratory viruses, including those that cause flu, are highly contagious and can survive for hours on skin, furniture, doorknobs and the like.

To a very special friend

I have been balancing trying to understand the difficulty of feelings I have for you,
Guess this did not help anyhow but hurt me it has enlightened this personality in me that I did not know of a personality which resonates regrets for not knowing I have someone like you. I can’t help but hurt about this whole thing. The hurt I have inside is not an inflicted pain, but a touching pain. The kind of hurt that brings knowledge of the amazing things in my life.
The hurt that can be healed with lots of love, care and tender only someone of your calibre can give, Someone like you is not easy to find, That is why I wish nothing but the best for you, your  friends they always tell me what an awesome friend you are ,But I really have to say It’s hard for me to understand but I am all right. you’ve got a winning style that some people never learn , If you give away a smile then you get two back in return .Then you’ll be all right

Rock journalism

 Rock journalism is people who can’t write interviewing people who can’t talk for people who can’t read”. On the other hand Wikipedia talks about music journalism as a criticism and reportage about music which began in the eighteenth century as comment on what is now thought of as 'classical music'. This aspect of music journalism, today generally classified as music criticism, comprises the study, discussion, evaluation, and interpretation of music and its performance. However, I eventually came up with this opinionated authoritative information about what I think RJ’s is. Though it nearly turned me into one as well, hence the hustles I went through. This took me a couple of hours thinking about this, processing, googling but all I divulge was almost about Frank Zappa’s quotations and comments which basically was no help after all because it is just what it says on the topic. However I think Rock journalism are actually worthless people seeing that they can not do more than two things simultaneously. Zappa said that “most rock journalism is people who can’t write, interviewing people who can not talk, for people who can’t read. These are the people who write for the literate people and look for the relevant information for the right target audience. They know where exactly to find information and how they go about delving the information that they want.
