The mystery of the two batteries supplied with Chinese phones
I've always wondered about why two batteries are supplied with Chinese phones. Even when I looked at the ads in the paper and online, they would always mention 2 batteries supplied as a special feature. I never understood why. Recently I found out but let me start at the top.I recently had my Hong Kong phone (wasn't China until recently) mysteriously die on me. Cause of death is still unknown, all attempts at recovery have failed.R.I.P. J-Max Sexy (this was the name of my phone)So recently, I had to reach into my rather shallow pockets and utilize a budget of Rs. 2500 to purchase a new cell phone. Having become far too accustomed to having mp3 ringtones a

What if today was the worst day of your life?
Would you try to change it? Would you accept it? Would you let it torture you and have the memory haunt you for the rest of your existence that you let the remainder of your life be decided by a single day?All these questions and more arose in my mind when I saw a facebook status update of a person who calls herself an opposite pessimist (she believes in the power of positive thinking).

As I look into the excesses of my mind now not so excessive as it once was because of the constant excess of narcotics, I look back upon life as a whole, continuous, unmovable thing.People want to live. It’s undeniable. The funny thing is that we as humans will more often have mediocre to bad or plain bad days as opposed to mediocre to good or good days. As appealing as all that mediocrity sounds, it begs the question “If every creature tries to avoid pain and having bad days causes mental pain which is a form of pain nonetheless, then what is the point of living?” To get high is pretty good reason but probably not the most socially acceptable or universally fe

Re-opening
The world is filled with losers who try to make other people feel like losers in order to    * Get laid    * Impress women or the opposite sex    * Cover up their own inadequacies    * Use this defense mechanism to deal with something different they encounter and    * Nurse back to health what once was a fading ego.Logic fails me when supposedly straight guys put down other straight guys in front of other straight guys with no women around and when they don't necessarily have low self-esteem. The only other thing I can logically think off is that these guys are closeted
