Nothing good happens online after 1am. And since Webroot believes in protecting you in every aspect of your life, including your social media, there is the Social Media Sobriety Test. Put an end to the embarrassment that follows regrettable, late night posts with 3 easy steps. http://ping.fm/PvHpD
Have you ever been left?
I know it’s hard to leave, but it’s nothing like being left.
It’s like you’re playing third base and the pitcher picks up the ball and goes home. Like you’re the quarterback, waiting for a hike, but there’s no ball.
You’re ready to give it your all, you’re still in the game, but there is no game.
The game's off when you're at your peak, at your height, at your crescendo.
When the battle breaks against you and the crowd forgets to cheer,
When the Anvil Chorus echoes with the essence of a jeer;
When the knockers start their panning in the knocker’s nimble way,
With a rap for all your errors and a josh upon your play.
There is one quick answer ready that will nail them on the wing;
There is one reply forthcoming that will wipe away the sting;
There is one elastic come-back that will hold them, as it should,
Make good.
No matter where you finish in the mix-up or the row,
There are those among the rabble who will pan you anyhow;
But the entry who is sticking and delivering the stuff,
Can listen to the yapping as he giggles up his cuff;
The loafer has no come-back and the quitter no reply,
When the Anvil Chorus echoes, as it will, against the sky;
But there’s one quick answer ready that will wrap them in a hood,
Make good.

in these last 5 years.. even i though i did not ask u out outright..
i have worked hard to prepare myself for you.
i labored and made myself awesome
at my age.. i have managed to distinguish myself from the other 20 year old lemmings out there
i dont know what kept me back from asking u out while in college
maybe becoz u were the queen bee..
maybe becoz i have this weird idea that 'i shud be "prepared" for my girl'.
i was preparing
i didnt wan to go on living with out every really trying to do what i wanted to do
thus
i prepped
did a lot of things
hustled
bustled
travelled
topped rooms
topped college
got a red-carpet-arrival job
changed things
changed the world
purged myself of all cultural programming
changed...
and then thus
i asked you out in rainy july
i really dont know what was the trigger
except the fact that i felt that i was done preparing
now comes the 'ask'
and i was late
didnt even have an inkling of your situation
you seem to be a good secret keeper
since then
you are my own personal brand of heroin
my own personal brand of ecstasy
got high on you
tried to talk
tried to let u know m not the same
i have made myself awesome
tried to meet
on a special day
but u seem to be happy with your possessions
u dont seem to be the same one i knew
in our first talk u said u are confused about stuff
i thought
hmm.. here's a partner for the journey
but things didnt move on
u didnt see the change
maybe u are happy
maybe u want me to go on alone
and be awesome alone
if that is so
then say it to my face
i am not bright enough to pick up girly hints
after time
the drug subsided
i saw that u had changed
not the one i knew
in ur mars-venus book
there is this line
'a woman never forgets the men she could have had.. a man never forgets the woman he could not have'
Messiahs are often brought down by their own people.
Gandhi fought for Hindu-Muslim unity; was killed by a Hindu in the process.
Steve Jobs was thrown out by John Sculley, who was actually smitten by his charisma.
Jesus too..
The dialogue in the movie The Dark Knight - You die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain - does come true in many cases.
You would work hard for your people, they'll make you God.
You continue working hard for them, and soon a point comes where they get suffocated by either your omnipotency or under the weight of your good deeds.
Steve Jobs and his team sure did a great job of getting out the iPad.. And what a wonderful price point.
However, there are some things that the iPad v1.0 lack. As with the original iPod and the iPhone 2G, the most desirable features will surely show up in iPad v2.0
Shortcomings of the iPad:
-- No camera. Thus no way to video chat using Fring. And why hasnt Apple bundled its own iChat and Photobooth with the iPad.
-- No multitasking. Maybe we would have to jailbreak the iPad again to use the Backgrounder.
-- iPhone control. Somehow, I want to be able to make calls from my iPad through my iPhone. Somehow..
-- Support for the Mac OS X apps. Sure the App Store apps are fun. But I think that they are just that - fun. I want to be able to do serious work on the iPad. It would be the only device I would carry to my office.
-- Bluetooth headset support. Just picture this situation where you want to voice chat with a friend over Fring. Would you hold up the iPad up to your lips (as if sipping from a plate) ??
