One of these days, I’m gonna become a farmer!

§ April 30th, 2009 § Filed under Uncategorized § No Comments

Back when I was younger, I used to play a computer game that was quite unique. I think it was called “Harvest Moon”, and it was basically a farm simulator. It might not sound like there’s so much fun involved in such concept, but the purpose of the game was to keep track of the usual day-to-day farm activities: milking cows, chopping wood, planting vegetables…. and boy, did I enjoy doing that. I remember playing this game and dreaming how nice it would be to own a real farm and live that simple kind of life – no stress, no worries, just nature and good old manual labor. Can you imagine how thrilling it would be to have your own sun orchard and just go out in the morning and pick up fresh fruit for breakfast?

Well, obviously I no longer entertain dreams of actually owning a farm – especially because I recognize there’s a good chance I couldn’t handle all the hard work. But still, the thought of getting freshly picked fruit still sounds quite interesting; with that in mind I’ve been looking around for a good sun orchard that will make deliveries in the city. Well, but I guess these kind of dealers only sell in bulk, so I have slim chance of getting into business with one of those. Regardless, I was thinking it might be nice to make a little field trip one of these weekends and go find out. Has anyone ever been to an actual real-life orchard, lately?

So, what have you been doing since high school?

Now there’s a tricky question, one that will get many people a little ashamed – or at very least wondering, and it’s also the main question people seem to be interested in when it comes to high school reunions. What have you been doing since highschool? Myself, for the most part I’ve been trying to come back. This is something most teenagers don’t realize, but highschool is quite possibly the most easy going and pleasant period in life. Well, ever since I outgrew that stage in life, I’ve actually been trying to figure out my place in life, going around a bunch of odd jobs and trying to write the great American novel. Yeah, I’m pretty much a procrastinator, but what can I say? I like it that way, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Discount perfume, a pleasant way to activate your sense of smell!

§ April 24th, 2009 § Filed under Uncategorized § No Comments

Of all the human senses, olfact is arguably the most interesting.. and simultaneously the most overrated. There’s so much we can learn about the world around us just by paying attention to the scents and aromas, yet this is something we sometimes fail to notice. Just think about it… have you ever found yourself in deep reminiscence induced by a nice smell? Have you ever felt warm and fuzzy inside just by thinking about a pleasant perfume? I know I have, and this is why I decided to tell you about this website specializing in
Discount Perfumes. Some people seem to think “discount” is the same thing as “cheap”, but I think that’s outright wrong. If you’re not sure, just follow your nose and you’ll know what I’m talking about!

Have you noticed there’s really so much to be thankful for?

§ April 24th, 2009 § Filed under Uncategorized § No Comments

I cannot help but wonder, how the most fortunate among us are oftentimes those who barely notice. Here we are in a constant frenzy looking for someting to keep up entertained and taking our minds off the real world, when as a matter of fact there’s so much we ought to be thankful for! Say for example, the simple fact that we don’t need mobility scooters to get around! Whenever my mind strays into negative patterns, I always go for a walk while focusing this thought: some day I will get old and crippled (unless I die first, of course), and in the meanwhile, there’s much to be thankful for! Such as the simple fact that I can actually go for a walk to take my mind off things.

An alternative to the generic alternative!

§ April 17th, 2009 § Filed under ideas § Tagged , § No Comments

Alright, so let’s get something straight: your health is not a matter of entertainment, and you should never wantonly take medications or otherwise engage reckless usage of pharmaceuticals. However, I personally think you also should keep from wasting your hard-earned cash; so the first thing you should ask your doctor when he prescribes some medicine is whether a generic alternative is available. As you should know, generic pharmaceuticals are pretty much equivalent to their brand name counterparts, except for the substantially lower selling price. Now, when it comes to purchasing a generic medication, you should also know there are certain routes that will provide with even lower prices – and no I don’t mean the black market… erm, not quite so.

You see, there are lots of websites selling no-prescription generic drugs over the Internet, and in my opinion – just as long as you know the drug you’re dealing with and provided you’ve consulted your doctor on which drug to use, purchasing said drug online can actually be an intelligent option. I’ve seen websites where you can Buy Clomid, get some generic Accutane, or maybe find some Propecia Online… and those prices are usually substantially lower than in a offline drugs store. So, just as long as you stick to your doctor’s advice and get your drugs from a reputable dealer, I think going online when it’s time to purchase certain medicines can actually be an intelligent option!

Want to make a Flapping Bird Origami?

I’ve always wanted to learn how to build one of these Origami birds, ever since I watched the first season of Prison Break. So today I happened to come across this video, and I decided I’d give it a try and learn something new. Well, turns out it was actually pretty easy! I’m very proud of myself about learning this, so I’ll probably spend the rest of the day bragging around. So before I got started doing my thing, I figured it would be nice to share the video with some of my faithful readers. Enjoy!

The world we live in is such a wonderful place, right? Human engine has fueled a number of creations that make it ever more interesting (at least for us humans), but still I would argue that – generally speaking – the simplest inventions are also the most useful and amazing. Sure, computers are interesting and all that, but if you think about it, all technology pales in comparison with something as simple as a chair. Can you imagine a world ripe with computers but lacking in chairs? That would just be cruel! How would people manage to spend so much time in front of their computers without a place to sit down? Obviously they wouldn’t, and moreover without chairs, there’s a good chance our civilization would never have reached the contemporary stage of development! Have you ever considered this?

Hum… before I get side-tracked in one of my customary rants, maybe I should point out the station where I joined this train of reasoning, so you don’t assume I’m merely talking crazy. You see, I don’t quite recall how I got there, but just then I was lost in comtemplatin of this online store dealing with folding chairs and folding tables, and I was thinking… such an ingenious little thing, the concept of folding furniture. But then again, the concept of furniture is quite mind-boggling if you wrap your mind around it. In my opinion, it’s the little things that we take for granted – that’s where the real strokes of genius can be found, from whence everything else ultimately unfolds. Just as writing this post right now, even as I sit upon… a chair (although it’s not folding, but I trust you get the point): being alive is really a wonderful thing… just as long as we let it be!

Within the fast-paced contemporary days we live by, quite often we barely have time to look around and really see the beauty in the surrounding world. That’s actually a shame, because there are small wonders waiting to be discovered just about everywhere. If you’d like to see a good example of what I’m talking about, I’m sure the following video will just do the trick. Kinda makes you think that we ought to wind out get relaxed more often, doesn’t it?

Why MCSE will drastically boost your resume!

§ April 7th, 2009 § Filed under ideas § Tagged , § No Comments

In these modern fast paced technological days we live by, diversity is an asset. If you expect to be taken serious in your line of work, you must keep learning new things and investing in your formation. Needless to say, computer systems should be a major focus of your professional tools. It’s getting increasingly important to know your way around computers, and that’s just why I’m think to get into this MCSE training course. There are two reasons I’m planning on doing so: because this certification will strenghen my resume, and simply because I’m confident it will become genuinely useful in a possible number of settings.

Becoming a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer means that you’re well capable of coming up with business solutions and networks based on Microsoft Windows; in other words, that means you’ll be qualified to deal with unexpected problems in your office’s computer networks, so THAT means you’ll be ahead of the game, compared to most of your co-workers. MCSE CBT is more than just an item that looks good in your resume; it’s an important professional and personal tool that will make you become more proficient in handling computer networks… and I don’t have to stress why that’s important, right?

A fine day to fly away? Destination: Croatian Islands!

§ April 7th, 2009 § Filed under ideas § Tagged , , § No Comments

I don’t know about you, but I’m all for multitasking and furthermore I’m a big fan of killing several birds with a single stone’s throw. So when I get faced with the prospect of spending vacations in an island AND doing so at quite a reasonable price AND staying far from the overcrowded/overhyped mainstream tourstic destinations AND get to know a wonderful new region in our lovely green earth, well… that’s pretty much the kind of vacation escapade I usually prefer.

The reason why I’m bringing this up is because I’ve recently become enamored with the idea of travelling to the wonderful and somewhat elusive Croatian Islands that populate the adriatic sea. There’s a good chance you’ve never heard of such islands, but just so you know there are almost 1200 such islands… and it looks to me like some of those are brilliant touristic destinations which are getting increasingly popular.

So, to make a long story short I’d like to invite you to get to know such exotic Eastern European resorts as the Island of Hvar, Island of Korcula or the Island of Solta – these are just some of the most popular destinations in that region of the globe. If you’re interested in traveling to a place that’s both wonderful and inexpensive, this might just be what you’ve been looking for; if you don’t believe me here’s a nice sampler:
