The Female Species
Women are very complicated, and i sometimes wonder if we do it on purpose or if we just cant help it.
We are completely different from men. We cant except compliments the way they do.E.g “Rob you look great.” Rob: “Thanks.” On the other side: “Cindy, you look great.” Cindy: “I do? Must be the lighting”
Men are self confident because they grow up identifying with superheroes. Women have bad self-images because they grow up identifying with Barbie
When a woman tries on clothing from her closet that feels tight, she will assume she has gained weight. When man tries something from his closet that feels tight, he will assume the clothing has shrunk.
Women take clothing much more seriously than men. I've never seen a man walk into a party and say "Oh, my God, I'm so embarrassed; get me out of here. There's another man wearing a black tuxedo"
Men forget everything; women remember everything.
It seems as if we are from completely different worlds, we are completely opposite, but then again opposites attract...

Speechless
Delivering a powerful speech is difficult enough, but then you have to deal with the nerves, the critics and self doubt.
I have to deliver a speech tomorrow and I'm more nervous than I've ever been. People try and give you advice and tips, but its not working for me. They say that i should only do things that are going to positively influence my speech and being nervous is not one of those things.
I'm second tomorrow, which is sort of a advantage because after that i can sit back and relax, its also a disadvantage because i can only measure myself against one person before its my turn.
I have to say to all those people; Barack Obama, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela who stand up and deliver a powerful speech thousands of people, good job. You really have to believe in what you are saying to deliver a speech as powerful as these individuals.
As D.L Lawrence once said; "The mind is a wonderful thing. It starts working the minute you're born and never stops working until you get up to speak in public."

Farwell To the King of Pop
Although it was a tearful ceremony, some might think that the family was over reacting or looking for media attention.
Michael's Father, Joe Jackson, seemed untouched, even uninvolved in the ceremony, whereas his mother, was so overcome with grief that she had to be helped to the car. Michaels' brother complained that the media helicopter that hovered over them, disturbed the burial.
Lets not for get that it is the media who helped Michaels' career, it is the media who helped get his records sold and it is the media who helped get him out of debt after his death.
Michael's death has earned him so much money that he is now officially out of debt, and still there is still so many of his possessions up for sale. Michael's famous white glove is currently selling for a whopping $49000.00.
All, I'm trying to say is that the Jackson family used Michael's death to their advantage, they milked it for everything that it was worth, they did this his whole life and now they did it again in his death.

Not Another One
Well we are in a recession, and they do say that multiple strikes is a sign that a country is in a recession. A friend of mine had a very interesting view on how to strengthen the economy, she said if we spend more money it will somehow strengthen the economy. I don't know about that, because most people don't have the money to spend, so they are going to get into debt just to help the economy, i don't know how many people are willing to do that!!
Anyway,hope there are o more strikes, because i don't think the economy or I could survive another one.

I agree with Aaron completley, I just dont think that everybody can do it.
