I think I speak for all the men in this world when I say, I have no idea what women want. This is mainly down to the fact that women themselves are not clear about what they want. This is most evident when it comes down to their choice and taste in men. They are so flippant and change their minds at the drop of a hat. Women want a sweet guy, yet if a guy ends up being ‘too’ sweet, it’s seen as too safe and boring. Women want a bad boy, a man with a rebellious streak. What they don’t want... Read Full Story

Art treads finely on the border between genius and stupidity. One's concept of a masterpiece could be another's perception of absolute garbage. Art epitomizes the age old virtue, 'beauty is in the eyes of the beholder'. A hideous painting to me, could be a beautiful and serene feeling captured on canvas to you. Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Picasso and Monet are revered as some of the greatest artists in history. The 'Mona Lisa' is widely heard of, yet some may just see it as a portrait of an ugly...

The question asked most throughout your early years in life, most certainly has to be “what do you want to be?” As a kid you may be swayed by the toys you have to follow a particular path. That fireman helmet encourages you to be a fireman, your sheriff badge may lead you into wanting to be a policeman. Your fake stethoscope may convince you that you want to be a doctor. It would be interesting to note how many actually become what they always wanted to be. Usually the wild ambitions from... Read Full Story

Doesn't food taste bland sometimes? I believe so! Since I was a little boy I have always had to accompany my meals with some type of sauce, be it ketchup, relish, worcester or sweet and sour sauce.

Ketchup is my pick of them all, I have it alongside my chips, burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, basically anything and everything. It is not unusual for me to have solely bread with ketchup. I even have tomatoe ketchup with... Read Full Story

We all find ourselves constantly yearning for more and more. People aren't satisfied for long, it is always short-lived. Today you want 'A', once obtained, tomorrow you want 'B'. You won't be grateful for what you already possess, you always want more, you want what someone else has, no one is happy with what they got. Regardless of the fact you may have more than someone else, you will incessantly pursue more. A millionaire of today aims to be a billionaire of tomorrow. This want never end... Read Full Story

Hair is something we all have, some more than others. As an Asian, I believe we drew the short end of the stick. It's like God thought it would be comical to see our race resemble a shag rug. For them scientists out there, it would appear we probably have a stronger relation to chimps then others. Even the Asian women are hairy, were it not for beauty salons it would be a difficult task telling the males from the females! Light skinned women can bleach their facial hair to hide its existence... Read Full Story
