So I did. Its a story that starts at the ending and the ending begins wit me and you. Do enjoy!<BR/><BR/>The Cure is a journey. A journey called destiny. A destiny filled with romance, love, hate, sorrow, joy, pain and much more. To experience joy is to have experience sorrow, to celebrate a win you must have lost a game or two. I enjoy the rays of sunshine because my face has beaten by the rain. All these emotions come through living out ones destiny. Destiny is not something that happens by chance. It only happens when one makes decisions to chase a dream. When in pursuit of these dreams, your dreams will pursue you. The Cure is a tale of two men unalike other than their common thread to live a purpose filled life. These thin threads commonly known as occurrences connect many pieces of the puzzle called fate. The fate of these two men and the world rest on ones ability to live a purpose fill life that will ultimately affect the destiny of mankind.<BR/><BR/>When taking any journey one must first know the destination in order to chart the route he should take. The destination is where we will start. Imagine a world where no disease can destroy man or a section of mankind, as some believe to be planned events. In order to conceive this one must be willing to remove the limitations of “reality.” Reality is nothing more than ones world that he or she has architected using self-imposed limitations as the mortar to hold it together. Man only uses on average 5% of their brain capacity. Some of our top performers like Einstein used less than 15. Top performing athletes; train hours on end to get their body to do amazing things. The four minute mile once perceived to be un-accomplishable by man, was broken because one man decided it was not impossible. Since that sunny day many men have broken through that wall of impossibilities. The mere existence of rules and records is to spear man’s inter-self to push him and others beyond that point. Pushing past the mental block that ask why, and start asking why not? This competitive nature of man shows its face everywhere. Bath Ruth’s’ records broken by Mark McGuire only lasted a few years to be broken by Barry Bonds. The phenomenon known as Michael Jordan, Air Jordan or simply MJ, birthed such talent of LeBron James and Kobe Bryant who emulate his greatness. The definition of an empire was forever changed by the legendary Roman Empire. The bar of a wealth of a nation is reset time and time again by the world power The United States of America. However un-united we are at times; nobody has yet got on a water craft to sail away from our shores. And however traitorous Our past history is, men made the most of opportunities they were presented with. Destiny, the thin threads created by our decisions, once again has brought the stage of opportunity to prove that we are the greatest nation birthing our greatest resource… our people.<BR/><BR/>Now that we know were we are going we can start at the beginning.<BR/>Posted by Andrew The Asshole at 11:41 PM 20 ASS-Haules Commenting ; <BR/>Labels: Poems/Quotes/StoriesJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09793792829148051260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-91762591606693780662007-06-18T10:22:00.000+10:002007-06-18T10:22:00.000+10:00Now i no why the beautiful Rosemary married VESTNow i no why the beautiful Rosemary married VESTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-24597293715797304472007-06-18T10:21:00.000+10:002007-06-18T10:21:00.000+10:00The type of man who makes a woman’s heart flutter ...The type of man who makes a woman’s heart flutter has a lot to do with whether she was a daddy’s girl, according to a new study. <BR/><BR/>Women who got along well with their dads as kids are attracted to men who resemble their fathers, whereas women who had a bad father-daughter relationship do not. <BR/><BR/>Lynda Boothroyd, a psychologist at Durham University in England, and her colleagues at the University of Wroclaw and the Institute of Anthropology in Poland asked a trained anthropologist to perform facial measurements on the photographs of 15 random men as well as the photographs of the fathers of 49 Polish women participating in the study. <BR/><BR/>The anthropologist calculated 15 key proportions based on how various features—such as the lips, nose, cheekbones and brows—related to each face’s height and width. The researchers also compared the 15 random faces to each of the father’s faces to determine how closely they resembled one another. <BR/><BR/>The women then rated their childhood relationships with their fathers based on how emotionally invested they felt their dads had been in raising them and how much time their fathers had spent with them. The women were split into two groups based on how positively or negatively they rated their relationships. <BR/><BR/>Then the researchers asked the women to rate how attractive they found each of the 15 random male faces.<BR/>The women who had reported positive relationships with their fathers were much more likely to be attracted to men resembling their fathers, the researchers found. On the other hand, women with bad dad relationships did not find men who looked like their fathers appealing. <BR/><BR/>“While previous research has suggested this to be the case, these controlled results show for certain that the quality of a daughter’s relationship with her father has an impact on whom she finds attractive,” Boothroyd said in a prepared statement. “It shows our human brains don't simply build prototypes of the ideal face based on those we see around us, rather they build them based on those to whom we have a strongly positive relationship.” <BR/><BR/>Although no one yet knows for sure why females show these preferences, a woman with a great dad may choose a similar-looking mate in the hopes that he will also be a good father, the researchers wrote. <BR/><BR/>Fatherhood at First Sight: <BR/>Women Can Spot Good Dads By Their facesJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09793792829148051260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-18801068403548470452007-06-18T10:18:00.000+10:002007-06-18T10:18:00.000+10:00Saby 1st & 2nd and now anon who is jim anyway,and ...Saby 1st & 2nd and now anon who is jim anyway,and of course saby as well. <BR/><BR/><BR/>VEST needs help<BR/>he is going nutsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-57431205422024672142007-06-18T10:16:00.000+10:002007-06-18T10:16:00.000+10:00RANDUMB THOUGHTS Here are some other ideas that I ...RANDUMB THOUGHTS <BR/><BR/>Here are some other ideas that I really wanted to explore this week to see what YOU had to say...<BR/><BR/>A.

PANDA'WOE'NIUM<BR/>China is a country where three quarters of the population, 750 Million people, basically live in impoverished, archaic, rural, obscurity. This is not some Monolith that will steamroll over the rest of the world anytime soon and may even disintegrate if democracy ever gets a foothold.<BR/><BR/>http://homoescapeons.blogspot.com/Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09793792829148051260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-77004312400351185192007-06-18T08:43:00.000+10:002007-06-18T08:43:00.000+10:00Like the bans of marriage this is the third bloody...Like the bans of marriage this is the third bloody time the previous comment has cropped up on this blog, Saby 1st & 2nd and now anon who is jim anyway,and of course saby as well.Vesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15390020901033513032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-36747875795529920352007-06-17T23:27:00.000+10:002007-06-17T23:27:00.000+10:00The British Empire is no morebut old timers like V...The British Empire is no more<BR/>but old timers like VEST are still reliving the old glory of the British Raj<BR/><BR/><BR/>Just as convicts were deported to Australia, the drop outs of British society landed in India and gave us Indians a weird sense of etiqutte and dress code and what not<BR/><BR/>these guys were fat slobs and cud not play football<BR/><BR/>so they played cricket (with the natives as runners)<BR/><BR/><BR/>see LAGAN, the hindi movieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-65163022682237781602007-06-17T10:37:00.000+10:002007-06-17T10:37:00.000+10:00Anon; There are many things that have been develop...Anon; There are many things that have been developed in India.<BR/>Crutch crabs, many pox varieties, carnal catarrh, new strains of Aids and the persistence of gut wrenching 'Delhi Belly'.<BR/>The need to develope a vaccine for the masses of India in the hope its success would diminish the sexual activity and promote a lower population by lowering the sperm count within the male testimonials (bollocks).Vesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15390020901033513032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-62338656878361425582007-06-17T08:45:00.000+10:002007-06-17T08:45:00.000+10:00in India we have developed HINGLISHin India we have developed HINGLISHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-20272104180430329202007-06-16T19:56:00.000+10:002007-06-16T19:56:00.000+10:00Gad zooks thou doth hath a brace of comely wenches...Gad zooks thou doth hath a brace of comely wenches adorn the vellum.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-26151356493680305622007-06-16T19:15:00.000+10:002007-06-16T19:15:00.000+10:00jd's rose and Jay: Thanks for your comments.
