Have you seen clowns who work out, not let any opportunity pass to cross their hands and stick their fist under their biceps to make their muscles appear bigger than they really are (I know one of them 'personally')? Sure you have. And what kind of emotion does that evoke? Do the following words come to mind? Tacky, gaudy, crude, sleazy....... Vulgar?
It doesn't matter what you are gifted with from body to mind to spirit. It's best expressed with subtle sophistication. Have you ever watched a person and come away feeling that he / she probably has no idea how good looking he / she is? Or you have seen this shy person at your religious institution and maybe even conversed with off and on but never realized until after months or even years passed that he / she is an authority on your favorite subject? Or the person who drives a Honda Civic on your way to work is actually a billionaire who owns businesses worldwide and you accidentally discovered it through somebody else? Are you freaking getting the pitchker? No, you're not!!!!!
Isn't there a certain added juice to knowing the real person THIS WAY than being bombarded with the information at the first opportunity - relentlessly - BY THE PERSON HIMSELF?
Oh, what did you say? What if I hide it and people never come to know - ever? First, you freaks have nothing to hide and secondly when you are good it's IMPOSSIBLE for the world to not know it sooner or later. And what do you care? If you do, you are short circuiting the whole freaking operation from the get go because that vibe WILL get out - without your assistance. And it doesn't end there. It WILL impede your progress to your goal.
Bottom freaking line is freaking this: Be secure enough to not be endlessly seeking other people's approval, admiration or whateverfreakingelse. Do what you do best without adding your own noise to the orchestra allowing your talent to milk the most mileage when discovered. Discovered it will - one day.
Translation: Best way to be the No. 1 player in the world is to NOT stress it - for yourself, the fans and the goal.

Did you know that MOST successful people in the world get up early and attribute fresh air, added hours to their day etc. significantly to what they have accomplished?
Although there's a zero chance that any of you freaks will EVER be successful, you can at least earn bragging rights to owing a trait only successful people possess.
There's are so many benefits that you shouldn't even try to rationalize it and bother those two marbles. Just freaking do it. You will NEVER go back - guaranfreakingteed

It’s freaking walking. You see, it’s not how great a certain workout is, or even how effective it is. What matters is whether you can keep it up on a regular basis, even in your golden years. It's the freaking consistency - doing it everyday - that does it - in virtually ANY field. With inflatables you might get a little sore and blistery, but it's still the only option to sustain the 'momentum'.
You can develop a ripped body within a year, but if you cannot freaking keep it up for the rest of your life, what good is it. Heck, it may even be harmful.
I can’t freaking believe how easily people fall for these new gadgets and fads, that fade within a few years if not months.
Walking is the best option. Of course, you can add other forms of exercise depending on your situation, but walking has got to be the foundation.
You can do it anywhere, you don’t need any specialised equipment, it can be done even in your golden years, your travel schedule cannot affect it, and it's a complete workout. Just about 30-40 minutes daily will do it.
I think walking outside in fresh EARLY morning (which some of you haven't seen in your entire freaking life) air, with nature, is most rewarding than the treadmill BS with polluted air from vents blowing stale stuff - or not so stale 'stuff'.
It's of course not for you if you cannot freaking move two hours away to better weather freaking conditions rather than being caged all freaking year. Geeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!

Whether you like it or not, you are representing a whole host of stuff from your country to your city to your neighborhood to your profession to your race to your religion to your parents to your favorite athlete..... Heck you are representative of even your freaking name.
One way is to always keep that in mind, the other is to ALWAYS keep yourself above the fray. You know in ANY of your dealings that past a certain point the discussion, the deal, the transaction...........becomes moot. Nothing is coming out of it except what's least desired by both parties. Recognize it long before you get there and let the person leave the table with sweet taste - irrespective of what's at stake - within reason.
Why do you think I am so careful not to offend anyone with my posts and comments? I am standing up for other basement lunatics - honorably.

SARAH
Life Lesson
Carrying on the baseball theme
In Brooklyn, New York, Chush is a school that caters to learning disabled
children. Some children remain in Chush for their entire school career, while
others can be main-streamed into conventional schools. At a Chush
fund-raising dinner, the father of a Chush child delivered a speech that
would never be forgotten by any who attended. After extolling the school and
its dedicated staff, he cried out, “Where is the perfection in my son, Shay?
Everything God does is done with perfection. But my child cannot understand
things as other children do. My child cannot remember facts and figures as
other children do. Where is God’s perfection?
The audience was shocked by the question, pained by the father’s anguish and
stilled by the piercing query. “I believe,” the father answered, “that when
God brings a child like this into the world, the perfection that he seeks is
in the way people react to this child.”
He then told the following story about his son Shay: One afternoon, Shay and his father walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball.
Shay asked, “Do you think they will let me play?”
Shay’s father knew that his son was not at all athletic and that most boys
would not want him on their team. But Shay’s father understood that if his
son was chosen to play it would give him a comfortable sense of belonging.
Shay’s father approached one of the boys in the field and asked if Shay could
play. The boy looked around for
guidance from his team-mates. Getting none, he took matters into to his own
hands and said, “We are losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth
inning. I guess he can be on our team, and we’ll try to put him up to bat in
the ninth inning.”
Shay’s father was ecstatic as Shay smiled broadly. Shay was told to put on a
glove and go out to play short center field. In the bottom of the eighth
inning, Shay’s team
scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the bottom of the ninth
inning, Shay’s team scored again and now with two outs and the bases loaded
with the
potential winning run on base. Shay was scheduled to be up. Would the team
actually let. Shay bat at this juncture and give away their chance to win the
game?
Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that it was all but
impossible because Shay didn’t even know how to hold the bat properly, let
alone hit with it.
However as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher moved a few steps to lob
the ball in softly so Shay should at least be able to make contact. The
first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed. One of Shay’s
team-mates came up to Shay and together they held the bat and faced the
pitcher waiting for the next pitch. The pitcher again took a few steps
forward to toss the ball softly toward Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay and
his teammate swung at the ball and together they hit a slow ground ball to
the pitcher. The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could easily
have thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that
would have ended the game.
Instead, the pitcher took the ball and threw it on a high arc to right field,
far beyond reach of the first baseman. Everyone started yelling, “Shay, run
to first. Run to first.”
Never in his life had Shay run to first. He scampered down the baseline,
wide-eyed and startled. By the time he reached first base, the right fielder
had the ball. He could have thrown the ball to the second baseman who would
tag out Shay, who was still running. But the right fielder understood what
the pitcher’s intentions were, so he threw the ball high and far over the
third baseman’s head. Everyone yelled, “Run to second, run to second.” Shay
ran towards second base as the runners ahead of him delirious circled the
bases towards home. As Shay reached second base, the opposing short stop ran
to him, turned him in the direction of third base and shouted, “Run to
third.” As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams ran behind him
screaming, “Shay run home.”
Shay ran home, stepped on home plate and all 18 boys lifted him on their
shoulders and made him the hero, as he had just hit a “grand slam” and won
the game for his team.
“That day,” said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face,
“those 18 boys reached their level of God’s perfection.”

Eat half papaya after dinner for the next three days. Of course, it would help if you cheap freaks stopped your other usual bad eating, exercising etc. habits, but this is such a strong shot that it can overcome even your own moves against your health.
If you don’t notice a difference, you will be provided a free tour of my basement.
Go to the freaking store, and buy two good size papayas, NOW, for crying out freaking loud. Not convinced? Some freaks have already tried it and have testified to it's effectiveness.

ALWAYS, within reason, take the high road.
Don’t demean and debase yourself to the ones who stoop to any level.
It’s one of the sweetest kind of wins you will ever register, despite losing.
If you have never experienced what I am barking about, don’t even try to pass judgement. You have no freaking idea.

No one will tell you this except a lunatic, so here it is:
After you are done using the bathroom for No. 2, there’s no way you are getting completely clean with just that ceremonial wipe. Don’t believe it? Check your underpants for proof and more. Try wearing white ones to shine light on the subject.
Still need proof? After you are done wiping, flush and then take some tissue dab it in the fresh water from the bowl and wipe it again. There you have it. That and still more is what you carry around every freaking day. No wonder you are always reaching to scratch.
There’s only one solution:
The main purpose of bidet is to wash your private parts gently, effectively and thoroughly after using the toilet e.g.: If it is routine to wash one`s hands after using the toilet, is it even not more logical to wash one`s bottom??? Babies always have their bottoms washed clean, powdered and pampered. The chief purpose of the bidet is to maintain for the user a constant state of cleanliness after each use of the toilet. The bidet should be considered a hygienic necessity rather than a luxury or status symbol. Daily use of the bidet should become as conventional as brushing one`s teeth.

Could it be based on how religious a person is or how many times he / she visits the Church / Mosque / Temple etc? How immaculately well-mannered he is? How gentle and considerate he is in his dealings? How much he gives / volunteers for charity? How good he is at what he does? How long he has been in a basement????????............................
None of that matters - even a tiny bit. If you are using ANY of the above yardsticks you are in for a massive shock.
There are just three proven methods based on the following golden rule: How a person behaves / responds when things don't go his way or when he faces adversity or when people don't agree with him etc. etc.
1. You should have had a business relationship with the person for sometime.
2. You should have lived as his neighbor for sometime.
3. You should have traveled with him for a looooooonnnng journey.
Those three tools should bring what you are looking for on top of the glass for you to make a safe determination. Anything else is all conjecture, biased and irrelevant.

Picture this:
You do the best you can at your job (yeah, right). You follow all company policy and are known to be an outstanding employee.
Ethically you are on the ball, rarely straying away from the moral code your Creator has provided. You are person with principles.
You make sure your partner gets all he/she is due from you. You bend over backwards to make the person happy.
Are you freaking getting the picture?
Now, as of today, you freaking freaks are doing all of the above out of fear or selfish motives. You don’t want to get fired, you don’t want to burn in Hell and you want to make sure you get everything you want from your partner in return etc. etc.
Give this BS a try and turn your stressful, miserable life around:
Do it PURELY out of LOVE. Make every action of yours from today onwards, emanate from love. Make love your guiding force in everything you do. Confused?
What I mean is this: Do the best you can at your job, because you love your work. Remember my famous principle? “Do what you love, love what you do”. Not because you are scared of getting fired or whatever else.
Follow the ten commandments or whatever else because you love your Creator not because you are scared of going to hell.
Pamper your partner not because you want something in return, but because you love the person unconditionally.
All that doesn’t mean you will never get fired, go to Hell or get dumped. But when you are guided by this principle, it doesn’t matter what happens, you are ALWAYS the winner.
That love you give, will come back to you many times over, sooner than later.
But more importantly it will remove the basic component in your make up that makes you miserable and distraught. It will raise you high above the petty annoyances of life to inject calmness and tranquility instantly.
Try it. What have you got to lose? All you lazy freaks are not going anywhere anyway currently.

Here is an excerpt from a book ‘Body for Life’ I read recently.
“Picture this: For the first time in a long time, or perhaps the first time ever, all aspects of your life are coming together. You’ve successfully transformed your patterns of action, and you’re moving forward in the direction of your goals.
You’re well on your way to a new and better life. You feel unstoppable until… the ‘unexpected’ happens. Adversity strikes. Something goes wrong. You’re blindsided by a bad hit.
These hits can come from any direction. It might be an injury. It might be the loss of your job or a failed business venture, an illness, the end of a relationship, or worst of all, a personal tragedy.
The fact is, adversity hits us all, and not just ‘once in a blue moon’. No one is exempt. When trouble, in whatever form, strikes, it can bring your progress to a screeching halt. It can destroy your momentum, cripple your self-confidence, and send you into a tailspin – a situation where one thing after another, after another just doesn’t go your way.
There is no training system, supplement, or ‘miracle pill’ that can make you immune to adversity. But does that mean there’s nothing you can do about it?
Yes and no.
You can’t always prevent ill fortune, especially due to forces and circumstances beyond your control. But what you can do is expect adversity as an inevitable part of life. In fact, you must expect trouble in order to properly deal with it. Remember, it’s not a matter of if it comes your way; it’s a matter of when and how severely it strikes your life.
We must all accept that ill fortune is an inevitable part of life, and it is because of, not in spite of, misfortune that we grow. You see, our character will never be fully tested until things are not going our way. Those who have the courage to succeed in spite of adversity become an inspiration. They contribute value to the lives of others. They make a difference.
Whenever you reach that point, immediately ask yourself, ‘What can I do to turn this negative into a positive? How can I make this work for merather than against me?’
When you approach obstacles this way, you will experience an immediate boost in energy and confidence. By practicing this skill – by learning how to transform obstacles into advantages – by attacking challenges head on – you will not only continue to move forward, you will gain the inner strength to deal with anything life brings your way.
When you look at misfortune that way, you will realize misfortune is a bridge, not a barricade, to greater achievements. It can represent the opening of doors, not the closing of them. When adversity strikes, don’t let it stop you. Promise yourself in advance you will transform that negative into a positive. That’s not just the right way to handle it, it’s the only way”.

-Resolve to set a day and time each week to either call or write to them. Make a list of things you will talk about with emphasis on listening instead of unloading on your own stupid problems.
-Take them out for dinner and movies or just plain drive at least once a month, instead of being cheap and crazy to wait for ONE day in a year.
-Buy and arrange for them to watch their favorite old movies on the best electronic equipment you can provide – at home.
-Get them a pet, if they don’t have one now with consideration to how much they can take care of somebody else. Go for a parrot or a bird in case of mobility issues.
Pet therapy is proven to help people cope with their problems.
-Buy them the top of the line mattress. That will be the best investment you will ever make of your cheap money.
-Never frown or be rude to them, irrespective of ANYTHING. Be kind to them in words and deeds.
Remember you are alive and thriving today largely due to them. They did the best they could to make you happy and healthy. Now it’s your turn to repay that debt. Don’t be cheap and stupid.
-Never EVER ask them for financial help NO MATTER what you are going through. Have some balls to deal with your stuff on your own without burdening your folks financially and emotionally.
-Provide all you can financially if they are in need. Remember the money you have today is really theirs. Why? Just visit my basement after 11:00 pm any night and I will explain it in a manner you will never forget.
-Include them in your prayers EVERYDAY BEFORE you ask for your own cheap stuff.
-Set an example for your own kids by putting your parents ahead of your own needs.
-Show immense respect and gratitude every moment you are with them. You will reap rewards you never can imagine today.
JUST FREAKING DO IT.
