A Friend Like You

A Friend Like You
A friendship poesy

Everyone should have
a friend like you
You are so much fun to be with
And you are such a good person
You crack me up with laughter
And touch my heart with your kindness
You have a wonderful ability
To know when to offer advice
And when to sit in quiet support
Time after time
You've come to my rescue
And brightened so many
Of my routine days
And time after time
I've realized how fortunate
I am that my life includes you
I really do believe that
Everybody should have a friend like you
But so far it looks like
You are one of a kind!

Not just Imagination

Not just Imagination

This quote is not just a quote about imagination but read it twice so that you realise things inside it.

Imagination has given us the steam engine, the telephone, the talking-machine, and the automobile, for these things had to be dreamed of before they became realities. So I believe that dreams - daydreams, you know, with your eyes wide open and your brain machinery whizzing-are likely to lead to the betterment of the world. The imaginative child will become the imaginative man or woman most apt to invent, and therefore to foster, civilization.

L. Frank Baum (1856-1919)

Sending Postcards From A Plane Crash

I am such a sucker
And I'm always the last to know
My insides are copper,
I'd kill to make them gold
Conversation got me here: another night alone in the city
So make my bed the grave and shovel dirt onto my sheets
 
Every friend we ever had in common
I will sever the tie, sever the tie with you
You can thank your lucky stars,
That everything I wish for will never come true
 
When you go, I will forget everything about you
When you go, I will forget everything about you
 
I have seen sinking ships go down with more grace than you
 
Turn this up I'll tune you out
Another night alone in the city, yeah
Fake it like you matter-that's a lie we can both keep, ohh
 
Every friend we ever had in common
I will sever the tie, sever the tie with you
You can thank your lucky stars,
That everything I wish for will never come true
 
When you go, I will forget everything about you
When you go, I will forget everything about you
 
I will forget (when you go)
I will forget everything about you (when you go)
I will forget everything about you
 
Every friend we ever had in common
I will sever the tie, sever the tie with you
You can thank your lucky stars,
That everything I wish for will never come true
 
I am always amazed at these words and badly I never got a chance to tune to. Whatever I face does not matter nor do the forgotton lady or the crashing of a plane... all that exist is mere fanatic metaphysical theories propounded to hallucinate those so called busy minds. Yes, I agree hectic are days when we call them so ourselves and what else if we realise them to our need and passions.
 
But as these lyrics go, I will never be able to forgot YOU and lucky stars count nothing when the sun is shaded. Finally no dreams, wrt me, are nightmere no onward because I am s shinking ship trying from an end to floar a part.
 
Life's waiting. Chao...

The Love Bug

Summer is here again and for most British animals the warm weather and abundance of food means that this is the best time to create a new life.

Large animals such as birds and mammals begin the process of reproduction during the winter, so that the babies are already growing. But many invertebrates (animals without backbones like insects and snails) are only just emerging from winter hibernation and the race is on to breed before the cold weather arrives again next winter.


It takes two to tango!
The Indian stick insect’s…eggs hatch without needing to be fertilised by a male, but all the offspring are identical to their mother and to each other. It is more usual to have a male and a female mate together before they can reproduce, but this makes life a bit more complicated! The first problem for small creatures in a big world is how to find each other. Then the pair must check that they are the right age, sex and species, or they will be wasting their time. The male may have to do some wooing to persuade the female he is the best choice to fertilise her eggs. For predatory animals, it is important that the male makes the right moves, or he might get eaten by his partner! These problems are solved by courtship. Invertebrates are born already knowing the correct courting behaviour, which can be long and complicated.

Sound of summer
Male dung flies lie in wait by fresh cow-pats where females lay their eggs. Other animals advertise their whereabouts by calling. Male crickets ‘sing’ loudly to attract a mate, by rubbing their wings together, and the chirruping noises are a familiar summer sound. The Chinese kept crickets in cages to hear the singing. Each species has a unique song, which only attracts animals of the same type…Mole crickets have specially designed burrows which amplify their churring sound. Females usually prefer the loudest males, as they are likely to be the biggest and strongest. Of course, there is the danger that another animal will hear the sound and come looking for a tasty meal, not a mate. Luckily, many of these invertebrates are also masters of disguise so are really hard to see.

You smell gorgeous!
Moths use scent to find each other in the dark. Their large antennae can detect irresistible chemical signals, called pheromones, over distances of a mile or more. Some male butterflies have scent scales on their wings which they shower over the female, to encourage her to mate.

Light of my life
Fireflies are beetles which use luminous patches on their body to find each other at night. Males fly around flashing the light at the tip of their abdomen. Each species has a specific pattern of flashes, like a Morse code. The wingless females reply from a branch. Some predatory glow-worms mimic female fireflies to lure the males and eat them. Sadly, fireflies also suffer from human disturbance. Nowadays street and car lamps cause light pollution through the night. This confuses and distracts the males, so sometimes they are not able to find females and fail to breed.

Variety is the spice of life
Two-spot ladybirds emerge from hibernation in May. Females are attracted by colour and pattern. Where the red ladybirds are more common, females prefer to choose black males to mate with, but in places where there are a lot of black types, the females prefer the red ones!

Choose your partner, do-si-do
A male scorpion does not get too close to his partner’s stinging tail. He holds the female’s pincers with his own and dances around with her, until he finds a good site to place a packet of sperm (a spermatophore). He drags the female over the spermatophore so that she picks it up by her genital opening. Once his mission is complete, the male runs away as quickly as possible.

Court or get caught
A male praying mantis has to be careful to avoid being eaten whilst mating. For the larger female, an extra meal is useful to nourish her eggs and give them a new start in life. The male usually approaches carefully from behind, then leaps onto her back, away from her forelegs. Fortunately, not many are ever eaten if they are careful.

The black widow spider gets her name because of the habit of eating the tiny males. But this is a very rare event which usually only happens to old or slow males. A male spider vibrates her web as he approaches so the female recognises him as a suitor, not as prey. If she has already mated, she may give signals to warn him she is not interested in his amorous advances. It would be best for the male if he understands that no definitely means No!

Adult male red-kneed spiders normally only have a year in which to mate before they die, so they try to find as many females as possible. The male taps his middle legs in a special rhythm on the ground when he gets near the female. When he gets really close he pushes her fangs away and uses his pedipalps (a pair of modified legs) to place sperm into the female’s abdomen, before rushing away. Although he is at risk of being eaten, the female also has to be careful as the mating position makes her vulnerable to attack. The correct courting behaviour reassures her that she is not in danger.

Line thru the Blood

 

Yester morning, I woke up to find myself somebody dragging me off the blood line. “Thank you, very much for saving me”- my heart was murmuring but was there any one to receive and reply those angel spirits. I was perplexed but affirmed. In case I knew the no real existence how can my mind be crawling just for a protagonist saying, “Every problem has a solution” when he was trying to get acknowledged for what he did. The latest picture that was aired last afternoon was tickling me with no prospect future. Total vacant, total evanescent and total hapless.

To be written later

Lord's Army

A friend was in front of me coming out of church one day, and the preacher was standing at the door as he always is to shake hands. He grabbed my friend by the hand and pulled him aside. 
The Pastor said to him, "You need to join the Army of the Lord!" 
My friend replied, "I'm already in the Army of the Lord, Pastor." 
Pastor questioned, "How come I don't see you except at Christmas and Easter?" 

He whispered back, "I'm in the secret service."

Evolution and Natural Selection:

Evolution and Natural Selection:

The ideologiest of evolution were considered those great Greek philosophers. Aristotle speculated ‘more perfect types not only followed less perfect ones but actually had developed from them’. First complete theory on this matter came from Lamarch as he went as – modifications due to environment, if constant and lasting, would be inherited and produced a new type. This had no evidence but gave working hypothesis to others to work on.

Malthus proposed- the english people were increasing rapidly, the human race tends to run-out its means of subststance unless the redundant individuals are eleminated. Darwin’s favorable variations were preserved and unfavorable oned destroyed, resulting to formation of new species. The origin of Species, survival of existence or the survival value or natural selection are all dedicated to Mr Darwin.

Weismann after Darwin in 1890 studied somatic and germ cells in body. Somatic cells reproduce cells like themselves whilst germ cells give germ cells of a new individual plus many types of cells.

Germ cells descend from germ cells in apure line of germplasm but somatic cells trace their origin to germ cells. From this point of view, the body of each individual is an unimportant by-product of his parents’ germ cells. The body dies, leaving no offspring, but the germ plasms show an unbroken continuity. The products of the germ cells are likely to be affected by the changes in the body. This was the Weismann’s explanation of the apparent non-inheritance of acquired characters.

Darwin’s causin Francis Galton in 1869 studed mental qualities during which Darwin’s propoganda was welcomed by public but not by breeders and horticulturalists. Inheritance of ability is certain- Galton propounded that the chance of the son of a judge showing great ability was about 500 times as high as that of a man taken at random.

Angel Kiss...

Someone who cares about you
thought you could use
some angel kisses.
Angel kisses have the power to
make you feel better and give you hope.
Just one angel kiss will make
your troubles disappear,
and you'll suddenly have the motivation
you need to complete a difficult task.
Run your cursor over the angels
to receive your angel kiss.
and you'll feel a sense of
warmth and happiness
that will last the whole day.
Even if it's rainy outside,
nothing but sunshine will
come your way.

Desperate Life and none the others

What Real-Life Desperate Housewives Really Want for Valentine’s Day


Forget the Roses and Chocolates

Have you ever asked your wife, “What did you do all day?” only to be greeted by seething anger as she scrapes baby spit-up off her shirt? Or have you wondered why she seems jealous that you “get to” drive alone to work, while she listens to “Elmo’s Low-Down Showdown” in a mini-van full of screaming pre-schoolers?

Author and stay-at-home mom Jen Singer, whose award-winning web site MommaSaid.net reaches thousands of mothers worldwide, can explain: “If the only way you could get a moment’s peace at your job were to hide in the bathroom – while someone knocked on the door – you’d understand why your wife seems so frazzled.”

What do today’s at-home moms really want? Singer, whose new book, 14 Hours ‘Til Bedtime: A Stay-at-Home Mom’s Life in 27 Funny Little Stories provides the real deal about today’s housewives, says:

1. Sleep: If sleep is the new sex, then at-home moms – who have both the day AND the night shift – probably think of sleep every five minutes. Singer’s gift tip: Give her homemade coupons for a full night of uninterrupted sleep.

Time off for good behavior: In a 24/7 job with no vacation days or sick days, sometimes Mommy needs to wander the mall alone, mumbling to herself. Singer’s gift tip: Give her an entire day off, from breakfast through the kids’ bedtime, to visit a spa, lunch with friends or see movies that aren’t animated.

Recognition: Everybody needs a pat on the back, but we don’t get a performance review. Heck, we don’t even get a “Good job, Singer!” Singer’s gift tip: Give her a holiday bonus: money to spend on just herself along with a homemade certificate of recognition.

Her own space: She shares everything from her mini-van to her lunch to her computer with her kids. Singer’s gift tip: Make a Mom-Only Zone, the one spot in the house where kids are not allowed to park their toy cars or share with Mom.

A night out, sans kids: You simply can’t have a quiet, romantic dinner at home when someone is shouting your name from the potty. Singer’s gift tip: Take her out, alone, to a restaurant that doesn’t provide crayons for coloring on the tablecloth. And yes, flowers are always a nice touch, too.

14 Hours ‘Til Bedtime (Wyatt-MacKenzie) is available online and at bookstores for $12.95. Jen Singer is the creator of www.MommaSaid.net, the Housewife AwardsTM and Please Take My Children to Work Day, held annually in June. She lives in Kinnelon, NJ, with her husband, two sons and a cat who is slowly ruining the sliding screen door.

Age and common humdrum

 Hello  ,-

Age permitting, I have had, eaten or smoken or that's everythings tested and in most cases being social is not just good.

Your perspective or viewing of life may be different [excuse me! think it is not so total diff] from that of mine or Joe Bloggs.

You might need right, I need humanity;
You might desire hunger, I desire brotherhood;
You might want change, of course! I want simulation;
You might be lookin' for someone, I might be for as me.

I am needing you my friend, please be with me. I don't request you to be mine. Mind it! Because Love has the power to create and the power to destroy.

Life's ... a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more.
Shakespeare

Hey! You
If one day I feel like crying...
call me..
I don't promise you that ..
I'ii make you laugh.
-But I can cry with you.

If one day you want to run away
Don't be afraid to call me..
I don't promise to ask you to stop
-But I can with run you.

If one day you don't want to listen anybody
Give me a call..
I promise you to be very quiet.......

It is difficult to access the range and quality of human emotions those with evergreen smiling faces may have worm-like griefs gnawing at their existence and a dull idiotic looking person may be blissfully happy.

Life is a strange humdrum affair where every moments of peace snatched should probably be gratefully acknowledged.

Humdrum blog!!!
