Life’s little pleasures – Are you dressed Properly for Oct 31st?

Posted by samson on Oct 15, 2007 in Life's little pleasures

There are only two weeks until Halloween, are you prepared? Last week, we talked about kids and trick or treat. Let’s talk about the adults’ version this time around.

Halloween is the only day in western civilization that allows anyone to dress anyway they like. This is the day that anyone might dress themselves in such a manner that wouldn’t be normally accepted by society. For this day, many manufacturers created ‘costumes’ for the males and female. Male costumes are usually super heroes with plastic muscles, and female costumes usually involve short pants or super mini skirts that shows off the legs and extra tight top that shows of her bust. Of course there are always some traditional costumes like Wizard and witches or zombies with multiple legs. However, if you were invited to a Halloween party, you wouldn’t want to be a member of the pack of Zombies, this day only comes around once a year, why not make the most of it and stand out?

Environment and the Human race.

Posted by samson on Oct 15, 2007 in Random Thoughts

In Southern Ontario, we have recorded a record breaking high temperature for Thanks Giving. It is usually around 15 to 20 degrees here in Toronto, but this year, it was near 32 degrees. (all degrees are in Celsius) This recalls a lecture I had back in University from a Geo morphology professor. He was telling us how the earth’s temperature fluctuates between Read more…

Copping with Writer’s block

Posted by samson on Oct 15, 2007 in Make money online

To create a successful blog or website, everyone knows that great content is a requirement. This mean the owner’s writing ability and their ideas are very important. Once a person starts blogging or writing articles on his or her website, they would usually start off with lots of interesting ideas. Once some of those ideas, if not all, are written and posted, the source of those ideas would start to act like a dying well. As the well dries up, the author is slowly experiencing what is known as Writer’s block.

As a Blogger, writer’s block is the worst thing that could happen. Yet, it is a standard part of any writer’s life. If you experienced writer’s block, it would become progressively difficult to write about anything. Eventually, you might simply give up writing. Personally, I attain this level of blockage several times per week. My solution is to rediscover my muse via other means. When I am lost on my blogging path, I would turn to several places online for ideas. First and foremost, Wikipedia. Wikipedia is the world’s free encyclopedia maintained by everyone online. This means you can contribute to this encyclopedia, any errors are removed immediately if found by other users on the Internet. Don’t underestimate the people online, if you were to falsify an entry, it may take a maximum of several seconds after posting for your entry to be removed and IP address banned from editing. Wikipedia is one of my muse for several articles on this site. On this list are the articles on Melvin Franklin and Jean Chretien. Honestly, there are way more information on Wikipedia that anyone can imagine. You can locate history, facts, sometime even mathematical formula on this handy site.

A second source I visit is YouTube. If you read around my site, some of my post actually contain videos linked from YouTube. Sometime I might find a funny video on YouTube or similar sites and just want to share it with the world. That’s one post!

Lastly, visiting your neighbor’s blogs. I maintain an active list of worthwhile blogs on my blogroll. This is actually more for my personal benefit then for my readers, otherwise known as YOU. My blogroll is what I suggest you to read, simply because I find it the site interesting enough for a revisit. So, I visit them myself on a weekly basis to ensure they still deserve a place on my blogroll.

There are always some offline sources. For example, my favorite is the box in my living room known as Television. Browsing for interesting shows or seeing some guy paddling a boat in a sea of cow excretion is really interesting and could easily reignite my ideas or recall my personal muse.
