Guess What, my fiends!! I do you big favour and do travel guide to all 16 host cities for 2026 FIFA World cup in USA, Canada, and Mexcico/. All the best sports – Boom! All the best food -bang! All the best comedy and comedians – blop! All th best music – boom bang! All the best writing and writers…
(This analogy I think I got from The Secret Life of Us) Finding someone before your looks go, before a lot of people have already paired up, before you go bald, before it’s too late to have kids is like musical chairs (with often as disastrous results as the one in the pic). Once the music stops (and you’re ugly/everyone’s…
One of the most common regrets of those in the final stages of their life is: ‘I wish I’d lived the life I’d wanted.’ That is, a life based on how you want to live it. Not how society, your family, your friends, your ‘friends’, or anyone else expects you should. In this scene from The Last Kiss, Izzy tries to…
In the Onion Encyclopaedia, or The Book of Known Knowledge, a relationship is defined as: Social bond lasting anywhere from 2 weeks to 70 years, the entirety of which is spent vacillating between thinking one is doing the right thing and thinking that one is making a horrible mistake. Whether you believe in gender stereotypes or not, you may believe…
If you have two ways to live your life, and you wrestle between doing one thing (at the expense of the other), ask yourself these questions… Do I want this? Do others say I should do this? If you answered (in order) yes and yes, then it makes sense to do it. If you answered No and yes, then if…
That thing you’re avoiding doing, that conversation you’re avoiding having, that decision you’re afraid to make… do it. Now. Before you do it, you are chained to fear of it, and fear and paralysis from inaction and the status quo. Be honest with yourself and with the people in your life (even if it leads to a more difficult situation…
Your future is decided by you. It isn’t set. Every day, there are hundreds, or thousands of decisions you make in your own mind of how to deal with things and what they mean to you. But nothing is decided. You may not decide the things that happen out of your control, but you do decide how you see them.…
What’s your relationship to drinking? Do you do it to relax? Or for clarity? Or to treat yourself for doing something well, working hard or doing something physical? (This was Socrates’ approach to it.) I’ve done or do all of the above at some point. But is it possible that in the future they’ll laugh that people, once upon a…
Who am I? What’s Important to me? What do I like? What do I need? Once you take the time to think deeply on these, in as much uncomfortable (and confronting) detail as possible, you’ll make the ‘right’ decision*. The decision that’s the most positive for you, based on who you are right now. *I put right in pretentious air quotes there,…
After making a significant decision where a sacrifice was made, there’s this tendency for some (and I’ve done this too) to focus on what I’ve lost, as opposed to what’s been gained. Before any major (or minor) decision, think about what will be added to your life, not what you’re going to lose. And after you’ve made your choice, focus…
Happiness is a choice. And the same thing goes for whether you decide to focus on your fears and anxieties for the future, things you can’t control, things you don’t have and the negative things in your life OR on the positives in it, what you do control, what you do have and the work you’ve done to become the person you are today. It’s a choice. And it’s…
