Sharks In Your Life

The Japanese have always loved fresh fish. But the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades.

So to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther than ever. The farther the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring in the fish. If the return trip took more than a few days, the fish were not fresh. The Japanese did not like the taste.

To solve this problem, fishing companies installed freezers on their boats. They would catch the fish and freeze them at sea. Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer. However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen and they did not like frozen fish.

The frozen fish brought a lower price. So fishing companies installed fish tanks. They would catch the fish and stuff them in the tanks. After a little thrashing around, the fish stopped moving. They were tired and dull, but alive. Unfortunately, the Japanese could still taste the difference. Because the fish did not move for days, they lost their fresh-fish taste.

The Japanese preferred the lively taste of fresh fish, not sluggish fish. So how did Japanese fishing companies solve this problem? How do they get fresh-tasting fish to Japan ? If you were consulting the fish industry, what would you recommend?

How Japanese Fish Stay Fresh:

To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies still put the fish in the tanks. But now they add a small shark to each tank. The shark eats a few fish, but most of the fish arrive in a very lively state. The fish are challenged.

Have you realized that some of us are also living in a pond but most of the time tired & dull, so we need a Shark in our life to keep us awake and moving?

Basically in our lives Sharks are new challenges to keep us active and taste better..... The more intelligent, persistent and competent you are, the more you enjoy a challenge.

If your challenges are the correct size, and if you are steadily conquering those challenges, you are Conqueror.. You think of your challenges and get energized. You are excited to try new solutions. You have fun. You are alive!

Recommendations for us:

1. Instead of avoiding challenges, jump into them. Beat the heck out of them. Enjoy the game. If your challenges are too large or too numerous, do not give up. Failing makes you tired. Instead, reorganize. Find more determination, more knowledge, more help.

2. God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but he did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way.

3. Disappointments are like road bumps, they slow you down a bit but you enjoy the smooth road afterwards.. Don't stay on the bumps too long. Move on!

4. When you feel down because you didn't get what you want, just sit tight and be happy, because God has thought of something better to give you. When something happens to you, good or bad, consider what it means. There's a purpose to life's events, to teach you how to laugh more or not to cry too hard.

5. No one can go back and make a brand new start. But anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending

INSTALLING A HUSBAND

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as

NBA 5.0,
NFL 3.0 and
Golf Clubs 4.1.

Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.

Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed,

Desperate.



DEAR DESPERATE,

First, keep in mind,
Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.

Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme. html and try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update.
If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0or Beer 6.1.
Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta.

Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)

In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0-program .These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend
Cooking 3.0 and
Hot Lingerie 7.7.

Good Luck, Babe!

Only You

When I stop to think,that you wont be there to smile when I wink
I wont be there to see you dressed in all pink
when I blink and you are not there, my hearts gonna sink
I cant sleep, cant eat, cant drink
When I think of you gone
A big part of my lifes all torn
in pieces and Jesus, I must have mixed right for wrong
For you to come, I will be twice as nice
I cannot stand to pay the price
I will do anything to see you come back to me
Dont leave me alone
I am in need of a home and a girl I will live with happily
Together, matter of fact we be, like the fruit from an apple tree
So I will plead for you to come back
Me and you is where the fun is at
We both know that, we love that
We have been there, we have done that
but we both still got a lot left to track

The Lover of my life
Please do not make me cry
The Lover of my life
Please never ever leave me alone
Please stay with me
Lover of my life

Girl you cannot do this to me
Your whole crew is in for me
They try to make you realize
We are both too simply too tight
They kind of know its smooth. right?
From a distance they know our love is like a boom mic
And I would hate to loose my only date to choose
Even Gods creations are all made in twos
So I say we cruise into the way we are supposed to be
girl you know you have gotta flow with me
And so we be the greatest lovers around
We can make a new whole world together
And be loving it now
We can take our love straight to the top
Maintain the same game forever while were making it hot
So do not try to think of breaking up( Guess you already did)
'Cos I can make it up to you
With all the love I stuff for you
In the middle of my thugs and crew
I still plead for you to stay with me (Come back to me)
'Cos Im in love with you

I could stay a whole week
without you no sleep
I figured that is because my thoughts go deep
Thinkin about you
And bringing my heart to the state of mind
Where i know that I am beginning to woo you
Where its my plea to get you right with me
And I will wait for you to come cos you truly fit me
and stay together through the weather like Bob and Whitney
An then we shine like the rims of a silver Bentley
You know I never loved no other like you
To hug a mother might do
It will make me show my hearts broken in two
I will give my life as a token for you
You might not know that I am choked up
But men Im still choking it through
You are my wife to be, my babies' mama to stay
And what you is, is what Id like to see
Come girl give your life to me
And Im a fight for the right to be your only man
and if I gotta fight then I'll fight for free.

When I think about you leaving I find myself grieving
Though it seems deceiving I'm still believing girl you'll stay with me forever
And I'll remain humbly kneeling while your heart is healing
Tear drops revealing the way that I'm feeling girl please stay with me forever

The Countdown-A day closer

I have been getting friends and family, those who care and people of importance, asking me what I want for my birthday. At the top of my list is happiness, but only God can give that. I have thought I should make a wish list( Warning: This posting will be deleted, once my birthday has reached.)

1. Arsenal Jersey( 2nd or 3rd)
2. Any nice footwear(s), mostly flat shoes
3. A wrist watch
4. A new car
5. Nice ties
6. Male Jewelry
7. Body care products
8. Soccer boot
9. Some inspirational books
10. Anything you can think of. I would be very much appreciative of your creativity. The lack of ideas made up this list.

Shoe Size: Size 12
Shirt Size: Medium
Pant size: 33 W, length 36

Please pardon me if this is wrong but I thought it was the best way to answer people asking me for what I want.

The Countdown

As I approach the anniversary of my birth on Sunday, I thought it would be nice to blog every single day leading up to Sunday. Challenges have amassed, obstacles have risen, failures have come, fallen into valleys and had to climb mountains. These things though have made me stronger, as they say,"What won't kill you, will make you stronger." Lessons have been learned and I can look forward to a life guided by the principles learned in childhood, the lessons taught by the many life experiences, and values that have been instilled from hearing the stories of others. Having realized that we are not defined by our thoughts but our actions, I intend to live life inspired by the fact that I want to leave a good trail behind. One to be emulated by many and serve as a model for growth for others. Doing things that you love to do, that gives you joy is very important. Do not be guided by social expectations of you and the true discretion of your instincts. Things Fall Apart, a play I have decided to act and direct, has been a source of joy to me once more. Anyways, this is the beginning of my countdown and the most boring. Further posting will include music, videos, pictures, poetry and so on....
