I AM THE SHIT!

Ohi, cazzo, ritrovarsi buttato fuori dai sogni non è mai bello.
A volte ti ci vogliono MESI, coddio, per riprenderti.
E in questi mesi, vivi proprio dimmerda. Ma non c’è un cazzo da fare, se non soffrire come un cane.
Che poi alla fine, sinceramente, da quanto soffri ti fai schifo da solo. Dici: “è mai possibile vivere [...]

Harry Winston is making some interesting moves in the diamond area. WWD reports on the fact that Aber Diamond Corp., the mining company that owns Harry Winston is officially being renamed to Harry Winston Diamond Corp. What makes this interesting to jewelry industry watchers is that the firm has a 40 percent interest in the Diavik Diamond Mine in Lac de Gras in Canada's Northwest Territories which produces 10 percent of the world's diamonds. Those diamonds are sold to Winston and other suppliers. Now that Aber is officially Harry Winston, every diamond that comes out of the mine becomes a Harry Winston diamond, tying those stones to one of the most recognizable names in the jewelry world. This is just another layer to the trend we recently mentioned in which branding the stone has become as important as branding the jewelry itself.One interesting fact from the piece is that most of the diamonds that come from the Diavik mine are long and linear, so the company still has to outsource

By: Michael RabinoviciGreat Speakers: Winston Churchill, my Aunt Milda, and You.In a recent study of people's ten greatest fears, public speaking ranked first, ahead of financial ruin and even death. But remember what one great speaker said about the only thing to fear being fear itself? It's true. Whether you're saying a few words at a dinner party or giving a speech at the United Nations, the same rules apply. While our Speaking Tips are not all obvious, they're all very simple. Taken together, they can help nearly anyone give a great speech. WHO'S OUT THERE? The single most important factor in giving a speech, no matter what the occasion, is this: Know your audience! If you don't know whom you're speaking to, then you run the risk of saying something inappropriate. So tailor your material accordingly. Your audience will determine what you say, how you say it, and the tone that you use when speaking. Don't doubt us on this one. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE Don't expect that

“Perhaps it is better to be irresponsible and right than to be responsible and wrong.”
Winston Churchill (1874 – 1965) British prime minister and winner of the Nobel Prize in literature
Overtime people have forgotten that The Flintstones, while animated, was not directed towards children. Rather, it was the first primetime animated series for adult (take that Homer Simpson).
Way back when, it was also acceptable to have cigarette ads on TV endoresed by popular TV characters. So this animated Flintstones ad for Winston cigarettes really isn’t a surprise in that regard.
However, in today’s uber-PC-must-protect-children-from-all-harm-no-matter-what-you-will-have-no-fun world, this would be quite the shock. That’s why Barney only gets to steal Fred’s breakfast cereal now. Stealing food is a much better message to send the children.

Well, I guess with all the PC-madness consuming Britain, it was going to happen sooner or later: they're taking school lessons about the man who may have been the last sane leader they ever had and deleting them from their school curriculum (via Michelle Malkin):FURY erupted last night after Sir Winston Churchill was axed from school history lessons.Britain’s cigar-chomping World War Two PM — famed for his two-finger victory salute — was removed from a list of figures secondary school children must learn about.Instead they will be taught about “relevant” issues such as global warming and drug dangers. Churchill’s grandson, Tory MP Nicholas Soames, branded the move “total madness.”The decision to axe Churchill is part of a major shake-up aimed at dragging the national curriculum into the 21st century, it was claimed last night.But the plan — hatched by advisers — angered schools secretary Ed Balls, who vowed to probe ALL the changes to the curriculum.The proposals w

A full, matching set. In hardback. In good condition. Each costing a grand total of one dollar. Yes, that's right, I bought the set for a whopping $6.I'm giddy!
