Head of interrogation »
cerno.wordpress.com3 days ago
The head of interrogation is now small and round. A small nose shades a thinning moustache. The eyes are behind glasses tinted to create assumptions of poor vision, ill health and slow reactions. He circulates quietly through the cocktail crowd in the wake of his wife. If you are close enough you might hear an [...]

Hop on the Social Media Bandwagon »
phlayer.blogspot.com4 days ago
A friend spoke to me over the weekend about creating a social media (SM) application like
Facebook as a product for
Sri Lanka. I've been meaning to write about the trend towards creating SM apps and then hoping they'll boom like
Facebook. Unfortunately the harsh truth is that its not going to happen. By 2010
Facebook has managed to pass
MySpace,
Bebo,
Friendster, Orkut, hi5 and everyone else out there. Although the
facts are clear, there are plenty of entrepreneurs creating SM apps that are similar to

Everybody wants a happy ending. Professionals depend on it after a hard day’s work. Families look forward to it after painful events. Sweethearts hope for it after a long night of tears.

No one is born with strength, it is simply something we find as we move on. I know of the woman who found it in the smile of her husband when she was in unbearable pain. I know of the boy who found it in his family’s past when he didn’t know where else to look. [...]

When the thick night approaches, we start to lock our doors. We do it so that those who’ve broken into our hearts before, won’t be able to do it again. So that those who’ve stolen our breath away won’t be able to get to us any longer. So that those who’ve wounded our pride won’t be [...]

Daily Lesson – Silence »

Silence can be a very ugly gesture. It keeps those we love from knowing how we truly feel about them. It leaves room for vicious interpretations. It causes distance between those who were once close. But for some people, silence is the best form of defense. However, these people don’t realize that the longer you stay silent, [...]

Daily Lesson – Rage »

When a mother gets angry at her child, she will punish him without hearing his side of the story. When an employee is enraged by his boss’ behavior, he will attempt to influence others against her without a second thought. When a girl is infuriated over her lover’s coldness, she will think about ending her [...]

Daily Lesson – Logic »
blacklullaby.wordpress.com1 week ago
Logic. It’s a tool used by the usually intelligent to help them understand unusually challenging situations. It’s pasted on to the advice we give our friends. It’s hammered into the happiness we deny ourselves. It’s plugged into our plans for the future and it even helps craft the excuses we make about self destruction. But ever so [...]

Change is not always a bad thing. A change of appearance can sometimes make us feel more desirable. A change of living arrangements can make us feel safer.
