Drugged Animals? - How About Drugged Athletes like Marion Jones? 2007-10-05 22:13:00 Oh Marion
, oh Marion, girl I’m mad at you. Taking them drugs, huh? The temptation was too strong, huh? Do anything to win, huh? Not you...Marion, you took steriods? Shame on you. I’ll tell you this drug taking mess is about to kill me. Mark Mcguire, Barry Bonds and now my darling Marion Jones. She took steriods, she has admitted it. This revelation is so sad. Marion Jones succumbed to that - how does it go? That “win at all cost” mentality, a mindset that assures that a good and honest athlete will go bad and do something demeaning and cheat to win. Marion is the latest top ranked athlete to admit using drugs to enhance her performance. This revelation is another blown to the image of our beloved sports world. We fans have become accustom to hearing that our sports heroes are drug users. Marion Jones is, indeed, a special and very talented athlete, but how much of her talent came from her use of steriods? This is the question we will always want to know and unfortunately, shal Read more:Animals
Learn The Secrets To Using Color In Your Artwork 2007-10-04 18:38:00 The use of color in art can and does add a richness to the artwork. It gives the impression of life, a feeling of life to the artwork. An artist uses color in a variety of ways, he may want to emphasize a central element in a painting by adding a certain hue to that element. For instance, let’s say he is painting a farm scene, in this farm scene he wants the apples in a basket he has painted to be the focal point of the artwork, to make this possible he may choose to make the apples intensely red, in doing this he has used that color in a special way. Here is that painting: ”Red Is Sweet” . Look how I employed the red of the apples - it jumps out at you. I wanted the viewer to be struck with the violent intensity that the color red can give.When you set out to create a color painting, always think of the impact you wish those colors to make. Some colors are called “cool” colors and others “hot”. Cool colors are the blues and greens...color that give us the sensation of co Read more:Color

How To Have More Love 2007-10-04 04:05:00 People wake up everyday wanting to be loved. They wonder why they can’t find the door to true love. Love that won’t fade, love that keeps you warm inside, love that keeps a smile on your face. This kind of love is hard to find and we rarely experience it. The reason being it takes some love to make love, just like it takes gold to make gold. Love feels so good we can’t describe it.. Having once experienced love, you want more, more and more but always it leaves us, leaving only a mere inkling of itself. We often say we love our family, our friends, our dog or cat but more often than not, we are only parroting the word, not really feelng what it implies. Love is the most unique and unfathomable quality in the world. Everybody wants it but nobody gives it. We all need to nurture and hone our ability to receive and attract the love. If this is done properly, the reward will be a happier, more love-filled existence.There are ways to attract the energy of love, and they require nothin
Test Your Brain With These Optical Illusions 2007-09-28 22:09:00 In the world of science we find many unbelievable things. The science called psychology has discovered that our minds can perceive objects in error. We take our optical apparatus for granted; we never analyse the processes by which we see things. Psychologist discovered flaws in our visual area when we view certain designs and shapes. The brain was found to add nonexisting objects to that being observed, thereby providing delusional data. Below, I have provided some images that will startle you; cause you to reexamine the trust we have placed in on our optical facilities. These figures will awaken curiousity about man’s way of seeing his environment. Our brain processes information in quite astonishing ways. The optic nerve, with its synaspes and neurons, relays light impulses to our brain in the most complex and mysterious of manners. In this operation the brain can be fooled and present us with what is termed an “optical illusion” - carefully observe and enjoy these items: Read more:Brain

Improve Your Home With Framed Art! 2007-09-15 14:05:00 Framed art is an effective way to enliven the spaces of your home. It's not like a lighting fixture or a sofa. No, framed art seems to communicate with its viewer in a more emotional way. Art evokes our life experience, the joys and pain of everyday living. An artist transmits his or her thoughts, opinions and perspective on life through paint and pencil, and now, computer. This expression makes framed art a very different element in the interior design scheme. Artwork has the capacity to bond with us in a way that is really unique. On your next art purchase, allow the framed art you’re considering to live in you, to speak to you. Don’t buy works that you can’t relate to. You want the pieces that exude an aura that is harmonious, not only with your home’s walls, but harmonious with your mental make-up. That will ensure that the art will have a long and beneficial influence on your life experience. Always choose what feels good to you.You know what you want, just look inside f Read more:Improve
The SECRET To Life: Real Personal Development and Self-Improvement 2007-09-15 11:46:00 On this blog I have some really fantastic and helpful information. Information that if applied will totally transform your life. As you know I am involved with the betterment of our mental health and well-being. I’ve written numerous posts and articles about personal development and self-improvement.

The Real Truth About Princess Diana's Death 2007-09-09 14:52:00 What do we really know about Lady Diana
’s death? We were told this and that by the media. They finally said that Lady Diana was killed by the careless driving of her driver in an effort to allude the paparozzi. I myself left it at that, but through another source I have found reasons to doubt the foregoing accepted explanation of her death. Was she killed? I have read that Lady Di wrote in letters to close associates - that Prince Charles was out to kill her. Yeah, that one blew me away too. What a diabolical thought that is, this is far more suspenseful than television. Could this be the truth ? The source that told me of this alledged and dreaded plan of the beloved Prince Charles, seems to be a reliable group staffed with serious investigators. They said other things too...Like the tunnel the car crashed in, didn’t have security lights working when the princess’s entourage entered it. I’d never heard that before - could this be true? They put forward the idea that the driver Read more:Truth

Do You Believe In Angels? 2007-09-07 03:18:00 Have any of you ever thought that maybe there are angels, and that we humans may have contact with heavenly beings? Do you believe that we mortals are being guided through our earthly journey by helpers of a different sort? There are lots of people who swear that we do have celestial assistants. There are plenty of folks who believe they have been guided, protected and assisted by heavenly forces. Why do they say such things? Are they deluding themselves? Is this an attempt to get attention, to impress others? Or are these people simply telling the true? Most of us dismiss these people and their tales as lies or delusion. Most everybody takes stories of contact with angels as fiction; something reserved only for children.But think about this: haven’t you had an experience that completely bewildered your mind - leaving you totally dumbfounded, not wanting to believe the event occured? I’m sure you have, everyone has. These are the times that leave us open for consideration of other Read more:Angels
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHEAL JACKSON! - We Want More 2007-08-30 18:46:00 “Man in the Mirror”, well, Micheal may see himself in the mirror, but ever since he stepped into the music business, many others have seen him looking back at them too, when they look into the mirror. Forever there have been entertainers(?) seeing themselves as Micheal Jackson. They try to sing like him; they try to dance like him; they try to look like him. Mario, Genuine, Usher, Omarion, Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, Neo - all try to be Micheal Jackson. But these guys are only among the current entertainers imitating Micheal, in the past there were others. Micheal Jackson is not only the “King of Pop”, he’s the king of influence: he influences other artists. Micheal has made more millionaires than the old “Gold Rush” of California. He his brought many a singer out of poverty. Imitating him can be your pass to a life of wealth, this is a fact that is being proven constantly. Don’t believe it? Turn on your radio, listen closely, sooner or later you will hear someon

Jordin Sparks Signs With Jive!! 2007-08-24 22:46:00 Jordin Sparks
just signed with Jive Records. Well, that’s the goal: get on American Idol, get seen and get a record contract. Mission complete. Jordin now you get to do what you always wanted to do: sing for a living. What she has accomplished is what every single contestant on that show dreams about. Don’t hate me Jordin, but I can do without your singing - but that face is to die for. So, you do have some value - pretty faces come a dime a dozen only in the modeling and entertainment business. You are a nice, attractive-looking female, so even if your singing isn’t all that - that face makes up for it to an extent. Value is value.Jive, Epic, MCA and all the other record companies look at the money first - musical skills second. Their prime objective is to sell records anyway they can, and good looks fit right in to their marketing strategy. Miss Sparks certainly has the look thing going, and that may be enough to propel her into superstardom. As I write this article, I see her
Survey Sites are Scam Sites 2007-08-21 23:54:00 The only people making money doing surveys, are the people offering them: the survey sites themselves and those who get paid when you use their site to find survey sites. The loser is always you - the uninformed survey-taker. I have personally taken surveys only to get scammed and receive no money. There are people out there recruiting for the survey sites - beware, they’re part of the scam. These recruiters know you’ll make close to nothing participating in their scam; but they want your money or the money they will make from referring you, so be warned. Surveys are the best way to really know the public’s opinion on products. But finding a legit website that offers genuine surveys, along with compensation for your time, is like finding the needle in the haystack. There is just too much money to be made in abusing the public’s trust. These evil survey sites care nothing for you and me and treat us like game for the hunt. The scam survey outfits could care less about providing Read more:Sites
American Idol: The Search for Talent Begins 2007-08-18 23:12:00 Well, well, their having auditions, American
Idol, that is. The team - Paula, Simon and the rest - are at it again, looking forward to a new season. What new spectacle will they present to the world next? What untalented specimens will they usher onto the national stage - make that world stage - this time. Their holding auditions throughout the country and I haven’t even thought of trying out. Why? Do I not feel I could be chosen? No, that isn’t it. I just don’t see myself associated with a show that showcases theatrics instead of musical talent, something I possess in abundance.American Idol
is for those singers bordering on comedy and illusion. It’s for people who are under the illusion that they are real singers. It is obvious to me that these contestants don’t really hear themselves. How else could a person put themselves before a world audience and make a fool of themselves. Can’t they hear themselves? Can’t they see the true angle of American Idol: humiliation and c Read more:Search

Google is sending visitors to my blog 2007-08-11 00:11:00 Google is starting to gain my favor. The big giant is beginning to warm to my blog - finally I have been accepted as a friend. I’ve been rejoicing over my new stats now that the gaint is sending me visitors. As I have often said, you must work with Google, no matter what other methods you use - Google will always be a necessary ally in your website marketing plan. It is simply too powerful to live without. My point has always been that we as site owners should always try and lessen Google’s control over or our internet existence, I have never said that we should live without it. That is a wonderful idea, but one that is in reality a dream, Web 2.0, backlinks and the rest ofthe techniques available for promotion of websites are powerful, but most of us aren’t skilled enough in these methods to produce results that can rival what we get from the search engines - esp. Google, the king of search engines. So, use the other site promotion techniques, but always remember to try and get Read more:Google

Method For Change”Here it is again, that scary and gruesome holiday we call “Halloween”. Yeah, here comes the ghosts, the vampires, the monsters, and all the negative vibes that come along with this last day in October. This being the case, I propose a plan of action - my “Halloween Method For Change” - a method that uses the negative theme and frightfulness of this holiday as a helpful tool in our day-to-day lives. It will turn Halloween into a positve force for personal development, instead of just an entertaining event. Turning A Negative Holiday Into A Positive EventAs we know and love, Halloween is about dressing up in scary costumes and faces and receiving gifts(candy for kids and gifts for adults). I propose that we can utilize the negative faces, dress and horrific nature of this occassion as a catalyst for creating a more positive and less intimidating and fearful existence. How can this be done? Read On. The Method: Using Read more:Fears
