EVERY GENERATION SHOULD LIVE BETTER THAN THE LAST

I am...

Systematic



Perfectionist, orderly, quiet, reserved, not completely comfortable in social situations, values inner virtues, good listener.

Use what talent you possess.

The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang the very best.

To be cheated on...

Ever think that she might be having an affair?

It is all very probable and a little depressing. I have read in women mags that women have a higher propensity to cheat than men. It is all about the rush and attention of being in a new relationship. She may feel pressured over her guy, and may seek out another stud to lean on as a distraction.



What do you look out for?

1. Your mate is more attentive to your needs than usual. This is due to the guilt feelings experienced by the cheater in the early stages of his or her affair. The attention will diminish as the affair continues.

2. Your mate's behavior is causing a gut feeling in you that something isn't right. If this happens, pay attention to your instincts. Ignoring them means you want to blind yourself to the truth. You know your mate's habits, routines and attitudes better than anybody, so be suspicious when these things change.

3. Your mate becomes very moody. He or she seems very upbeat and excited when leaving you but acts somber and depressed when around you. If your mate is in a long-term affair, he/she will try to keep both relationships running smoothly. Any problems the cheater has in one relationship will spill over into the other relationship as well. This is inevitable.

4. Your mate frequently picks fights with you. Doing this gives him reason to get mad and storm out of the house and thus the opportunity to meet a lover. A cheater may also do this because of mixed emotions he is feeling about betraying you.

5. Your mate lacks self-esteem. This doesn't necessarily mean he will go out and have an affair, but an insecure individual often looks to others for guidance. If an insecure person's needs aren't being met, he might find the desired feelings of security and positive feedback in an affair with someone else.

6. Your mate would rather spend time with friends than be with you.

7. Your mate stops being affectionate.

8. Your mate's behavior is such that your friends begin asking you what's wrong. Close friends and family members often will notice tension or discord between the two of you before you are fully aware of it.



It is time to find some closure on this relationship.





So, what happens next?

Chill...

Listen to music.
Spend time with friends, family.
Throw yourself into work and travel, if you can.

But get to know and like yourself first before diving into another relationship.

Night of My Life

by Damien Leith







Here we are
Shooting stars
Renting time in someone else's space

So unsure
Afraid to fall
I'm standing here
A little scared
But I don't care

'cause this kind of moment
is only on loan, and
I wanna remember the look in your eyes
When it's all over
I want you to know that I was with you, when I
Had the night of my life

The night of my life



So don't let go
You'd never know
Maybe your whole life's about to change

So let's hold on
Until it's gone
Nothing's made to last forever
Who knows whether

This kind of moment
is only on loan, and
Sometimes you don't know until it passes you by
And when it's all over
I want you to know that I was with you, when I
Had the night of my life

Maybe this whole thing comes right down to faith
And every choice that we think that we make
Has put us right here together

Today
Today
Today



'cause this kind of moment
Is only on loan, and
It won't be too long until it leaves us behind
And when it's all over
I want you to know that I was with you, when I
Had the night of my life

The night of my life

The night of my life

Casino Royale

If you ever get the chance, do go and watch the new James Bond film.





After having heard much controversy over the selection of Daniel Craig as the latest super spy, I was surprised that he suited the role very well. There was that incident where he arrived at a premiere, over sea on a speedboat wearing a life jacket. That had apparently upset many fans and was regarded as lame.

Daniel Craig is stylish, arrogant and brutal as the new agent 007. This suits the overall tone of the film, where Bond is very much more of the sadist. A cold-hearted killer with very little sense of empathy and Craig, with his piercing eyes, portrays the role very well. You would not want to be caught in a dark alley with him. He's charming and funny when required and totally convincing in the action sequences.

The movie plays on an updated premise where the dates are in 2006 and not on Cold War paranoia. Craig embarks on James Bond's first mission, where he must stop a banker from winning a casino tournament and using the prize money to fund terrorist activities. This time round, the he story is just much more engaging than previous Bond films. The script is not going to win awards but it's consistently more inventive and intriguing.

The violence is less cartoon~ish and flippant, with every punch, kick and shooting looking like they really hurt. Bond does get bruised and bleeds when hit, even screams when tortured. The film has enough of it's fair share of action, the emphasis is equally on character and storyline and less on gadgets and sheer implausibility. The poker game at the Casino Royale, the film's longest set-piece, is (in my opinion) more gripping and entertaining than any of the car-chases and shoot-outs.

I really liked what the director and screenplay team did with the Bond franchise. They revitalized the series much like what Christopher Nolan did with Batman Begins; giving the character more depth and humanity.

The name's Bond... James Bond.

grr... car got broken into

I am a little pissed off today that my new baby got broken into.

Woke up early today to pick Darren up from the airport. The guy came down to visit his sister; it is her graduation this week. I didn't even notice that the car was broken into until I was driving and cleared my security gates.

My baby was left in the undercover carpark at my apartment complex. The damn fkn thieves must have gotten entry into my complex, and made their way into the carpark. These assholes are professionals. They did not smash the windows or left any marks on the car. They just jacked the lock, utterly destroyed the lock barrels and opened the door.

But I am grateful that they did not grab anything of value. I have donated the damn $10 of loose change to you idiots. Now come back and pay for the cost to get my car repaired.





Lesson learnt...

If a robbery does happen, don't freak out.

If you do happen to come back to a smashed in car, don't be too alarmed. Yes, call the police and your parents, but beyond that there is very little you can do once the theft has already occurred.

Then, tell yourself, "I know that this is something I can get fixed, and no one died, but it is just an inconvenience."
