WHY?Found this among my tons of email:
TWO FRIENDS WERE WALKING
THROUGH THE DESERT .
DURING SOME POINT OF THE
JOURNEY, THEY HAD AN
ARGUMENT; AND ONE FRIEND
SLAPPED THE OTHER ONE
IN THE FACE
THE ONE WHO GOT SLAPPED
WAS HURT, BUT WITHOUT
SAYING ANYTHING,
WROTE IN THE SAND ,
TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE .
THEY KEPT ON WALKING,
UNTIL THEY FOUND AN OASIS,
WHERE THEY DECIDED
TO TAKE A BATH .
THE ONE WHO HAD BEEN
SLAPPED GOT STUCK IN THE
MIRE AND STARTED DROWNING,
BUT THE FRIEND SAVED HIM.
AFTER HE RECOVERED FROM
THE NEAR DROWNING,
HE WROTE ON A STONE:
'TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SAVED MY LIFE'
THE FRIEND WHO HAD SLAPPED
AND SAVED HIS BEST FRIEND
ASKED HIM, 'AFTER I HURT YOU,
YOU WROTE IN THE SAND AND NOW,
YOU WRITE ON A STONE, WHY?'
THE FRIEND REPLIED
'WHEN SOMEONE HURTS US
WE SHOULD WRITE IT DOWN
IN SAND, WHERE WINDS OF
FORGIVENESS CAN ERASE IT AWAY.
BUT, WHEN SOMEONE DOES
SOMETHING GOOD FOR US,
WE M UST ENGRAVE IT IN STONE
WHERE NO WIND
CAN EVER ERASE IT'
LEARN TO WRITE
YOUR HURTS IN
THE SAND AND TO
CARVE YOUR
BENEFITS IN STONE.
THEY SAY IT TAKES A
MINUTE TO FIND A SPECIAL
PERSON,
AN HOUR TO
APPRECIATE THEM,
A DAY
TO LOVE THEM,
BUT THEN ,
AN ENTIRE LIFE
TO FORGET THEM..
SEND THIS TO
THE PEOPLE YOU'LL NEVER
FORGET.
I JUST DID.
DO NOT VALUE THE THINGS
YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE, BUT VALUE
WHO YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE!
AND IF I HAPPEN TO GET IT BACK,
THEN I KNOW MY PLACE IN YOUR LIFE
'Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.'
A Tavor rifle
A few hundred rounds of 5.56mm bullets
10 of these M68 grenadesI kneel alone upon a hill outside the city
My fingers grip a rounded stone that bears a name
My tears are falling on a letter that I wrote you
The wilted flowers sing the silence of my pain
It's like a picture perfect scene of love
and grief and hate and loss
And it's okay that i still love you
when i kiss her lips
Cause you are dead and she's alive
and it was time that I move on
She doesn't look like you, but she feels like an angel
She holds a broken man, her head upon my chest
I never told her of the letter that I wrote you
It's the only way I had of laying you to rest
It's like a picture perfect scene of love
and grief and hate and loss
And it's okay that i still love you
when i kiss her lips
Cause you are dead and she's alive
and it was time that I move on
The letter fades upon a hill outside the city
Leaned on the headstone of someone I've never met
I know it's wrong that I pretend you're underneath it
But that's the only way I ever will forget
It's an amazing book I tell ya.
We told you about unusual ways to cure aches and pains, but what if it's as simple as letting out a string of expletives? Maybe it'll even cure the #*@#^ pain in the &$@^$ caused by the new comment bugs.

Scientific American's Frederik Joelving writes about a new study that shows "that swearing may serve an important function in relieving pain." Basically, a group of psychiatrists wondered why it is that we seem to react to pain by swearing and conducted an experiment in which they studied the pain tolerances of a group of students who were swearing and a control group who wasn't. The results, as you may have guessed, were positive for the folks with the dirty mouths.
But hang on. Before you take a deep breath and start screaming profanities, keep this in mind:
In extreme cases, the hotline to the brain's emotional system can make swearing harmful, as when road rage escalates into physical violence. But when the hammer slips, some well-chosen swearwords might help dull the pain.
So, beware of overusing this "method" and resort to other pain management solutions when in polite company. (And keep some bandages on hand just in case it fails.)
Do you have methods of dealing with pain that turn heads and prompt parents to cover their children's ears? How about a trick that'll help me deal with the nasty paper cut I inflicted on myself? Let's hear your ideas in the comments. And while you're swearing like a sailor, you can also skip straight to the operator with your dirty mouth.
Well, you heard it here folks. Say FUCK or whatever swear word you got to relieve pain. =D

I think I might've posted this but what the hell anyway. This is kinda the mindset I'm trying to focus on right now along with the others I'm trying
Couldn't agree more. |
