Nonfiction Books: Why I Hate Them, Why I Think Every Nonfiction Author Shou
2008-05-08 20:15:00 Why does every single non fiction book include a colon followed by a friggin' paragraph-long subtitle? That ticks me off a lot more than it probably should. It doesn't help that the two biggest offenders, political hit jobs and and self help books, are the two most deplorable genres anyone could ever write about. It's bad enough they're blood-sucking leeches, but do they have to be so obnoxious about it? One of these days someone is going to write "CHAMPION!: The true story of how I overcame adversity, and against all odds, wrote a book with the longest subtitle in history and scored a bunch of chicks and a sweet movie deal, so look for Champion!: The true story of how I overcame adversity, and against all odds, wrote a book with the longest subtitle in history and scored a bunch of chicks and a sweet movie deal in theaters this Summer. If I ever write a nonfiction book, The title will just be something short, followed by a colon. And the entire inside of the book will be th...

However, I am sure there are a few of you who are turning their nose up as we speak. So just hear me out, okay? Lately I have seen lots of recipes out on the net targeting people who hate Brussel Sprouts ? so here I am to give you a few more recipes for your arsenal to welcome the members of the brassica (Brussel sprouts, cauliflower and cabbages) family onto your plate.

Sometimes I add a bit of bacon whe...
Insurance - Love Them, Hate Them
2008-03-07 15:32:00 I've always been a strong believer of insurance. When I was growing up, my father started an insurance policy for me with the intention of letting me continue the policy when I started working. It was an endowment policy so after it matured, I would be able to collect a lump sum.He also took up a policy for himself. He was already 45 years old at that time. He had no chronic disease so the premium was really affordable. It was also an endowment policy which would mature when he was 55. This was inline with his retirement funds coming out. He said it was a force savings as that time he was a hawker and had not contributed to the provident fund.Unfortunately he passed away at age fifty. He was unable to enjoy the maturity of the policy but what I can tell you is, the money really help mommy during that difficult period. I had just started working and and finances was bad so that money really helped us settled down in the interim.So you see how I strongly believe in insurance.Any insu...

WRUP: gotta hate them dinos edition - SendMeRSS
2008-02-01 18:22:00 WRUP: gotta hate them dinos editionFiled under: What are you playing?Let's face it. Nobody likes dinosaurs. Oh sure, you might like the idea of dinosaurs, but when you're face to face with a living, breathing mass of muscle, teeth, and claws, you'll change your tune fast. Case in point, check out the Turok demo on Xbox Live Marketplace. Let's say you fire up the demo and you see a raptor in the distance. "Cool," you think, "it's just like Jurassic Park." Maybe you even think you can be clever and use a flare to direct said raptor to an unsuspecting soldier. Sure enough, that raptor will devour the soldier. "Awesome!" you'll say, that is until the raptor locks eyes with you and decides that the soldier he just ate was merely an appetizer. You, however, will be the main course. Starting to hate dinosaurs now, aren't you? Keep that in mind when we ask you this question: what will you be playing this weekend?Leaderboards:Xbox 360 Fanboy LeaderboardXbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard Mk. ...

Do you like short love affairs? I hate them. I've got all weekend.
2008-01-17 10:05:00 Do you like short love affairs? I hate them. I've got all weekend. --- I've learned that when you plan to get even with someone, you're only letting that person continue to hurt you. I've learned that ignoring the facts do not change the facts. I've learned that the easiest way to grow as a person is to surround yourself with people smarter than you are. I've learned that no one is perfect until you fall in love with them. And I've learned that life is tough, but you can be tougher!
