Put your foot down, woman.

High heels are uncomfortable and make walking more difficult. Prolonged use can injure the feet, knees and back. So why do women keep wearing them?
The short answer seems to be that women in heels are more likely to attract favourable notice.

In Sense And Sensibility, Jane Austen describes the character Elinor Dashwood as having a "delicate complexion, regular features, and... remarkably pretty figure".
But Austen describes Elinor's sister, Marianne, as "still handsomer. Her form, though not so correct as her sister's, in having the advantage of height, was more striking".
In addition to making women taller, high heels force the back to arch, pushing the bosom forward and the buttocks rearward, thus accentuating the female form.
"Men like an exaggerated female figure," writes fashion historian Caroline Cox. The problem is that if all women wear high heels, such advantages tend to cancel out.
Height, after all, is a relative phenomenon. It may be advantageous to be taller than others, or at least not to be several inches shorter. But when all wear shoes that make them several inches taller, the relative height distribution is unaffected, so no one appears taller than if all had worn flat heels.
If women could decide collectively what shoes to wear, all might agree to forgo high heels. But because any individual can gain advantage by wearing them, such an agreement might be hard to maintain.
But what breaks my heart is that even destitute women are willing to bury themselves in debt just to keep up with the Kardashians.How silly, don't you think?

You want to make friends, don't you? I think we all do.

The benefits of having friends are bottomless, like you can talk about the concept of friends with benefits without tripidation.Anyway my friends without benefits and I,were talking about that the other day (off course this conversation was inspired by the movie, yes you guessed it, Friends With Benefits, starring Justine Timberlake and Mila Kunis)and we all agree on a single defination of a friend with benefits, so here we go :A friend with benefits is someone you get to have sex with, no strings attached. There’s no expensive dinners, no roses and no being home on time required. It is a mutually beneficial relationship with a friend or acquaintance where you don’t get to take them out on a date, but you do get to call them at 1 a.m. when the bar closes to see if they want to hook up.Now if you want in on that kind of swing, read on and learn,alright?

Unfortunately, old sexual standards ensure that the friends-with-benefits choice isn’t really yours at the end of the day. The woman, as usual, gets to call the shots (assuming you have done your footwork). All you can do is make sure she knows that you’re willing, ready and able. This entails giving straightforward clues as to your wishes and desires to be friends with benefits.The rules of being friends with benefits must be mutually agreeable, because if one of you isn’t getting what you want, the relationship is worthless. If one of you starts to have feelings for the other -- well you can deal with that when and if the time comes, but remember there are many things to consider when approaching a potential friend for benefits.

Here is how the Brother Leader fell.In case you didn't get the memo.See,I'm very thoughtful.

In February 2011, anti-government mass protests sprang up against Gaddafi in Benghazi and other towns of Libya, in the context of the wider Arab Spring.On 18 February demonstrators took control of Benghazi, the second largest city of Libya, with some support from police and military units. In reaction the government sent elite troops, which were resisted by Benghazi's inhabitants and mutineering members of the military.In Benghazi, during the course of four separate protests that took place on 20 February, more than 200 people have died.The New York Times reported that "the crackdown in Libya has proven the bloodiest of the recent government actions."

On March 10, 2011 France became the first nation to recognize the National Transition Council of the anti-government rebels as the sole Representative of Libya. An Élysée source also announced that France plans to send an ambassador to Benghazi. Nations who recognize the Council as the government of Libya may not have to go through the process of obtaining UN security council's approval to establish a "No-fly zone" if the Council requests one, as this could count as a "friendly request".On March 17, 2011 the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 1973 with a 10–0 vote and five abstentions. The resolution sanctioned the establishment a no-fly zone and the use of "all means necessary" to protect civilians within Libya.

Shortly afterwards, Libyan Foreign Minister Moussa Koussa stated that "Libya has decided an immediate ceasefire and an immediate halt to all military operations". However, attacks against insurgent strongholds appear to have continued despite this claim.An effigy of Moammar Gadhafi hangs from a scaffold in Tripoli's Martyrs' Square, Libya. August 29, 2011On March 19, 2011 the first Allied act to secure the no-fly zone began when French military jets entered Libyan airspace on a reconnaissance mission heralding attacks on enemy targets. Allied military action to enforce the ceasefire commenced the same day when a French aircraft opened fire and destroyed a vehicle on the ground. French jets also destroyed five tanks belonging to the Gaddafi regime. The United States and United Kingdom launched attacks on over 20 "integrated air defense systems" using more than 110 Tomahawk cruise missiles during operations Odyssey Dawn and Ellamy.

On June 27, 2011 the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Gaddafi, alleging that Gaddafi had been personally involved in planning and implementing "a policy of widespread and systematic attacks against civilians and demonstrators and dissidents".On 1st July 2011. 1,7 million people assembled in Green Square Tripoli to show defiance against the NATO bombings of Libya.By August 22, 2011 rebel fighters had entered Tripoli and taken Martyrs' Square. Meanwhile, Gaddafi asserted that he was still in Libya and would not concede power to the rebels.

On October 20, 2011 NTC forces captured Sirte, and in the process captured, and killed Muammar Gaddafi in Sirte.

Plato not Pluto.

How often do hear people confusing Plato with Pluto? A lot unless off course we don't run around the same circles. Anyway, I have taken it upon myself to clear up the mix up. Pluto is a planet and Plato is a genius, in my humble opinion. Plato stands with great philosophers like Socrates and Aristotle as one of the pioneers of the intellectual lore, particularly in the West off course. We might have lost him to politics, given the long history of participation in Athenian politics by his family.But he declined to follow suit, frowning on corruption that usually goes hand in glove with politics (Think Julius Malema and the tenderpreneurs of his generation). So Plato came to a conclusion that philosophy,not politics, could cure social ills. At an unknown date before Christ, he founded Athens the Academy, the first permanent institution alloted to philosophical research and teaching. And like me, his travels were far-flung. His literary life is inspiring to young aspiring writers like myself, meaning Plato like Pluto will live forever. And that's about the only similarities between the two. So here is a free advise to them dumb-dumbs: Pick up a book #DontConfuseShit

The Almighty English. The rise or the fall?

Between the splendid reigns of Queen Elizabeth the first and the second, the number of English speakers escalated to innumerable figures. The mother tongue speakers however,contribute a mediocre percentage. People who speak English as second or foreign language are a lot according to fundamental statistics.Now, what accounts for the lamina of these increases. Social networks. Yep, that's right. Together with the modern desire to communicate at a world level over long distances. But what's fascinating is that these so called pull factors are actually reconstructing the English language, it's usage and it's governing rules.So the million dollar question is: What's going to happen to the beloved language in the future? Most likely today's teens won't care less about grammar, I mean these kids are already substituting words with numbers e.g C U L8er.And quite frankly, they don't seem to be bothered with achieve a certain level of fluency let alone enriching their vocabulary.Only handful of them are aware that the word dude has its ancestry in German, and that dude means idiot but still they toss the word around nonchalantly. Don't even get me started with improper use of words like "Like" "Hectic" "Hardcore" . What does the future hold for the main language of books, magazines and the internet? While it adapt and survive?Will it transmute into new languages?

Just a Thought.

I can never get people to understand that poetry is the expression of excited passion, and that there is no such thing as a life of passion any more than a continuous earthquake, or an eternal fever. Besides, who would ever shave themselves in such a state?
