IMPORTANCE OF GOOD CLOTHING.

First impressions are apt to be permanent; it is therefore of importance that they should be favourable. The dress of an individual is that circumstance from which you first form your opinion of him. It is even more prominent than manner, It is indeed the only thing which is remarked in a casual encounter, or during the first interview. It, therefore, should be the first care.

What style is to our thoughts, dress is to our persons. It may supply the place of more solid qualities, and without it the most solid are of little avail. Numbers have owed their elevation to their attention to the toilet. Place, fortune, marriage have all been lost by neglecting it.

Your dress should always be consistent with your age and your natural exterior. That which looks outr, on one man, will be agreeable on another. As success in this respect depends almost entirely upon particular circumstances and personal peculiarities, it is impossible to give general directions of much importance. We can only point out the field for study and research; it belongs to each one’s own genius and industry to deduce the results. However ugly you may be, rest assured that there is some style of habiliment which will make you passable.

If, for example, you have a stain upon your cheek which rivals in brilliancy the best Chateau-Margout; or, are afflicted with a nose whose lustre dims the ruby, you may employ such hues of dress, that the eye, instead of being shocked by the strangeness of the defect, will be charmed by the graceful harmony of the colours. Every one cannot indeed be an Adonis, but it is his own fault if he is an Esop.

Almost every defect of face may be concealed by a judicious use and arrangement of hair. Take care, however, that your hair be not of one colour and your whiskers of another; and let your wig be large enough to cover the whole of your red or white hair. It is evident, therefore, that though a man may be ugly, there is no necessity for his being shocking.

* Just a note:
I did not write this, but it has some good points that I thought where worth passing on.

I just love the internet lottery! Look I’m rich….. NOT!!!

Effects of Dehydration ( think thats it)

The effects of dehydration on my ability to form a coherent thought can be devastating. For thous that frequent my blog have noticed that the quality of my writing has diminished in the past few mounts. The reason may be linked to simple water loss or lack of sleep. So lets take a moment to address these two factors.

Dehydration: A few of the symptoms of mild dehydration are loss of the ability to do simple math or communicate clearly

Lack of sleep: Same as above with a bit of disorientation to boot.

Well that just sucks! I get it from both items and that just cant be good. For my friends that don’t know I do most of my writing in the morning from the parking lot at work, if you can call it a parking lot. I will admit that I do like what I do when I have the chance to do it but most of my work day is filled with things that I could live without. I guess that you have to take the bad with the good in any situation.

All I am really asking is that you just bare with me for a while, this working a regular day job is something I haven’t done in a while.

The CL spamers have a new trick, well its new to me. They send you a email that looks harmless enough and than BAM if you reply to it they hit you with tons of Spam.

Let me start from the beginning so as not to look like a spamers myself. I was selling some stuff on CL with a link to my other website, for no other reason than I am notoriously lazy when it comes to posting things, so I post one thing and people look at my other stuff too. Well I have a contact page with email, phone, etc but thats not how they are getting me. They send me an email about what I am advertising that looks like a ligament inquiry and when I replied by the next morning I had five emails from other email address of just junk.

You may think that I would know better but I trust that most people will do whats right. Well thats where I went wrong, as we all know that spamers are not big on doing whats right or proper if they did they wouldn’t be spamers.

Can this plague on the Internet ever be stopped or are they just a blight that must be endured for as long as the net holds together? The way I see it is that it will only stop when it proves to no longer be profitable. Keep that in mind when you actually read some of them thinking that what ever they are selling looks good!

While fueling my Harley at my favorite gas station it occurred to me that I was being cheated. Just take a minute to look at things form a logical view point. If you are getting only 2.5 gallons of gas, I run premium, it is logical to wonder how much of it is really premium. The person before me was purchasing regular so the lines where full of that when I rolled up. So if I get super the first gallon is most likely regular grade. My conclusion is the I just paid super price for regular gas. What a rip off, I have been cheated by how ever much gas was in the lines when I made my purchase.

The amount of cyclist cheated every year is staggering! I can only speak for myself but I would love to have $ .10 of the first gallon of gas form EVERY motorcycle on the road today, I can say that work would be missing me. Just think of it .10 for each scoot running on each day all year long.

Just think of it!

 I started in business in better times and this is my first real bout with this economy. All the rule have changed and I will admit that I have been a slow learner, but I am learning. Not so many years ago some of us in the same industry worked together, to some extent, to deal with all the problems running a business brings. Everything from inventory issues, to shipping. Now all the rule have changed to the point where it is truly cutthroat and you don’t dare show any sign of weakness or your “friend” will put a knife in your back and then push you off the cliff. I now keep my supplier, distributors, and customers very quiet. When I would normally ask for help, now I am alone and I just don’t understand why things have to be that way.

I had a great idea for a product usage in an untapped market. Well, I let it slip what I was thinking and now I am being squeezed out of that market. That really hurts to have someone you trust do that to you! Is this really where things are going for the human race? You see, I don’t see this as a business short coming but rather as the human race falling short of its true potential. When we all work together just think about all the great things that have been accomplished. It has been said that no man is an island, but that is the way we are heading.

This is a sad day my friends when I am forced to admit that we, the human race, it failing due to our inability to work together for the common good. As my wife has pointed out to me, business has always been that way. And that one persons idea, quickly becomes many peoples idea. I guess that is why there is a patent office, although it doesn’t apply to this case.

Note: I know this sounds like a sour grapes scenario, but I believe if we’re all going to make it out to see the other end, working together is the best solution.

Building trust in life

You can find lots of articles on Building Trust in Business or websites, but what about building trust in life? Well trust in life is often overlooked and I do mean the trust between one person for another. This kind of trust has to be earned with deeds, actions and words. I personally am one of thous people that will trust you until you prove that you can’t be trusted. Ya ok, so everyone makes a mistake from time to time but if you lie to me or mislead me I will NEVER forget it. This is a flaw on my part, but what are you going to do thats just the way it is!

Example: Half truth- I’m going to the store for some milk. Translated to I’m going to get some milk on the way back from my friend house where I will be staying for two hours.

Example: Stretching the truth- You will only receive one or two emails a month from our website. Translates to We are going to sell your email address to every spammer we can and then we will send you so much junk mail that you better close your mail account before we flood it.

Example: Vague Truth- I will do my best to get it done. Translates to I will try and if it happens to accidentally get done than it’s all the better.

I try to earn and keep the trust of the people around me with words and deeds but this is often overlooked by others, that I do know. The above examples are but a few of the things that we deal with every day, but think little about. In my opinion we, as human animals, should devote more time to building trust and less time thinking about what others think about us. Next time you are listing to a friend or coworker tell a story, just think about how much of it is really true and how that makes you feel like you have been lied to!

I will always do me best to only email you on occasion when it;s important!

There is a lot of talk a bout the state of the environment and some are doing something about it. But I just have to ask it there half hearted efforts are for the good of the planet or just an attempt to keep up with the PC (Politically Correct ) people. It just amazes me that there are those that put up a few solar panels and cry at the top of there lungs about how they are going to save the environment single handed but they wont give up their SUV. Yes that’s right they drive around with one person in the car choking down gas like its their right just because they recycle or something.

Before I get into a rant, I would like to say that YES, I do drive a 4 wheel drive pick up, but very seldom is it just me,it’s all I have. I do recycle, but not as much as I should, I am trying to do what I can with what I have. The key here is that you would never know that I do anything because I’m quiet about it. I guess that as long as people are doing something that’s all the really matters, but can they keep their mouths shut about it. I get so tired of any one that has an attitude of superiority, especially if it something of such importance.

Nothing pisses me off faster than posers of any kind, I see a lot of them when I ride my scooter ( motor cycle ) you know the type, they ride only when the weather is between 70 – 80 degrees with dry pavement and they call them selves bikers. Well I have some news for you I ride all year long and I’m not a biker!

I guess what I’m trying to say is Posers beware I see you and I know who you are.

The fastest way to get me fired up is to sit and whine about how bad the economy is. What a load of crap! Ya things are bad but bitching about it just makes things worse, cant you see that? Lets do some simple math, just stay with me for a few minutes.

1. You sniffle to 7 people

2. 7 people whine to 7 people each

3. each of them bitch to 7 other people

4. In turn they cry to 7 sheeple

5. In this one day bitch fest you have infected 2401 people with your bad views of the economy and in fact you just influenced the economy in a small way.

The economy is in the simplest terms is driven by the consumers and how they vote with there dollars. Just look what you have done with your bad vibes all in one day! YOU just screwed up the economy of a country in one day.

My advice to you is to keep your mouth SHUT! Most people are really sheep people (sheeple) they will blindly follow anyone that is easy to follow, giving up is always the easiest thing to do.
