Spoiler alert: do not continue reading if you plan to watch the movie.
Here we go:
I hope you enjoyed this list. It is far from being complete. Please write me your comments below.

Today, I was at the park walking. I ran into a guy trying to recruit people to save the planet from global warming. I stopped and chatted with him.
He was not paying attention to the discussion all the time, for example when chatting he would look behind me and shout to the people that are passing by. Anyway, he told me that once he had a spiritual experience. To make a long story short, he told me he went to heaven, other galaxies and came back here because he wanted to be back.
He started to describe one planet he found, where he said it resembles earth but only much more peaceful and technologically advanced. There are talking trees there, animals talk and everything is harmonious and peaceful. There is no killing on that planet.
Later he told me, that he also witnessed the end of our world here on earth. Everything will be burning, and only the good people will be saved.

Dear readers, I shared this story with you because it tells us something about the human mind’s imagination and its recalling ability. Remember, not every person that goes to heavens and comes back, or gets to talk to God gets the attention of Oprah Winfrey or the main stream media. While many have profited from claims like that, many others have been labeled as crazy people.
It is ironic how we choose who we want to believe and who we don’t want to believe, right? In my previous post, “Jesus Sells“, I gave an example of how claims of supernatural nature can make you good profit.
Today I received these funny words of wisdom through a chain email. They are funny and insightful, enjoy!
Number 9 – Death is the number 1 killer in the world.
Number 8 – Life is sexually transmitted.
Number 7 – Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
Number 6 – Men have two emotions: hungry and horny, and they can’t tell them apart. If you see a gleam in his eyes, make him a sandwich.
Number 5 – Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the Internet and they won’t bother you for weeks, months, maybe years.
Number 4 – Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing.
Number 3 – All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
Number 2 – In the 60’s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird, and people take Prozac to make it normal.
Number 1 – Life is like a jar of jalapeno peppers. What you do today might burn your ass tomorrow.
And, as someone recently said to me: Don’t worry about old age; it doesn’t last that long.

Hello readers,
In this blog post, I share with you a PUA (PickUp Artist) technique that I learned many years ago (around 2005). It is about an opener or a way to break the ice and talk to girls in coffeeshops especially if you are a shy guy.
The “Who lies more” opener is called an indirect opener and said to be originated by Style, author of “The Game” book.
I got to use this opener as soon as I read about it. Basically, all you have to do is find a girl or group of girls you want to approach and ask her or them:
Excuse ladies, my friends and I were chatting the other day and were wondering about something. I want to ask you: Who do you think lies more? Girls or Boys?
This opener will not get you in trouble, but nonetheless, be ready to hear some unexpected or cold replies. Here are some replies I got from some of the girls I approached in coffeeshops:
What a weird question, are you doing some sort of statistics!?
Or:
Well, I don’t know, sorry can’t help you answer this one.
Or simply cutting the conversation short and answering me coldly:
Men
For me, after some field tests, it appears that you should have more openers and try to guess which opener to chose before approaching a girl.
Or you know what? Just be natural, smile and say “Hi” 🙂
Today I received the following diagram, because the Christian believers entered the lent period, a period of spiritual fasting.
[skip to the meat (pun intended)]
About the Lent period, I quote from officeholidays.com:
The season of Lent is regarded as a time for when Christians should clean up their spiritual house, coming to terms with their lives and rededicating themselves to a more holy and righteous way of living.
and about “Clean Monday”
This first day of Great Lent is called “Clean Monday” because Christians should begin the holy season with “clean hearts and good intentions.
Now let’s cut to the action!. Continue reading “The 4 types of Spiritual Fasting”
Hello,
Today I am going to share with you a story about life, work and happiness.
One day, John was walking in the street and he saw Mike, the neighborhood guy that sits around and relaxes all day long.
- John then told Mike: Mike, I see you here everyday sitting and doing nothing. Why not get some chewing gum and put them next to you?
- Mike: what for?
- John: Like this, people will stop by an buy from you so you can make some money.
- Mike: and then what?
- John: with that extra money, you can then not only display chewing gum but also some chocolate and potato chips
- Mike: and then what?
- John: with enough money from that you can open a small kiosk and sell more stuff and beverages
- Mike: and then what?
- John: you can then open a small grocery store and make more money
- Mike: and then what?
- John: from that small grocery store, you can expand to have a bigger shop
- Mike: and then what?
- John: you can then aim for a supermarket
- Mike: and then what?
- John: you can then buy a house and let the business run itself
- Mike: and then what?
- John: you can then sit in your house, relax and worry about nothing
- Mike: But John, I am already doing that! Can’t you see I am sitting here and relaxing everyday!

And so my friends, often times we keep participating in the rat race, always aiming for more when the simple things are often times already within our reach.
Hello readers,
Today I share with you a joke that my Dad told me a long time ago.
Enjoy!
One day, in an art gallery exhibit, a visitor stopped in front of this drawing: Continue reading “My master art piece: An epic battle in a moonless night”
I think I could turn and live with animals,
they are so placid and self-contain’d,
I stand and look at them long and long.They do not sweat and whine about their condition,
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins,
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God,
Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things,
Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago,
Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth.So they show their relations to me and I accept them,
They bring me tokens of myself, they evince them plainly in their possession.I wonder where they get those tokens,
Did I pass that way huge times ago and negligently drop them?Myself moving forward then and now and forever,
Gathering and showing more always and with velocity,
Infinite and omnigenous, and the like of these among them,
Not too exclusive toward the reachers of my remembrancers,
Picking out here one that I love, and now go with him on brotherly terms.A gigantic beauty of a stallion, fresh and responsive to my caresses,
Head high in the forehead, wide between the ears,
Limbs glossy and supple, tail dusting the ground,
Eyes full of sparkling wickedness, ears finely cut, flexibly moving.His nostrils dilate as my heels embrace him,
His well-built limbs tremble with pleasure as we race around and return.I but use you a minute, then I resign you, stallion,
Why do I need your paces when I myself out-gallop them?
Even as I stand or sit passing faster than you.
By Walt Whitman from Song of Myself
These days religion has become a conduit used to sell products and attract people.
I can think of some recent cases where it was obvious that Jesus was a launching point to fame and riches: Continue reading “Jesus sells”
Hello Readers,
This year was riddled by lots of ups and downs. Year after year I am learning to accept what life has to offer and how to be more patient and optimistic.
It seems that everything, no matter how bad it looks, is there to teach me a lesson. Life seems to always remind of this nice story.
These are the worthwhile things I accomplished this year: Continue reading “Good bye 2014, Hello 2015”
Dear American Women,
I am sorry you were born as females in the west. Because of the toxic culture you’ve been marinated in you will never fully appreciate just how fortunate you are to have been afforded the privileged lives you enjoy. None of this is your fault, of course. Whether you like it or not, third-wave feminism is to blame and it has quite literally stolen any chance you have for true happiness as a woman.
From an early age you will be told that you are princesses and deserve the best of everything simply because you were born with vaginas. There is some truth to this, but not for the reason you’ve been raised to believe.
You see, you could be princesses and eventually even someone’s queen worthy of the utmost respect. The truth is, you are more valuable than men from a reproductive standpoint. But before you pump your fists, those titles and the respect that comes with them are ones you must earn. This takes time, temperance, and discipline.
Hello,
I don’t watch TV but I came to learn about Phil Robertson when I was traveling to Anchorage/Alaska from Seattle during the labor’s day weekend (in 2014). When the plane landed in Anchorage airport, people were swarming around two bearded men. My friend and I were wondering: “Who are these people?”
When I asked who they were, I learned that these guys (Phil and Jase) where from the Robertson family and that they have their TV show “The Duck Dynasty” on A&E.
I did my research about Phil and I was happy to learn that he’s into spirituality and a moral way of life. I was intrigued and wanted to know more about Phil’s point of view of life and morality so I bought his book “unPHILtered: The Way I See It”.

In this article, we will be covering important aspects and facets as to why a low-carb diet is considered, nowadays, a much more healthy diet that promotes weight loss, energetic life and most importantly a long-term healthy life.
We will introduce the concept of glycemic index, different hormones roles, and finish by citing different low-carb diets.
The misconception is that we’ve always thought that a calorie is just a calorie and we only gain weight by eating food items that are high in calories, such as fat. Continue reading “Why the low-carbohydrates diet?”
I was raised in a Christian household. My parents taught me to abstain from meat each Friday. After I broke free from the religious institutions and starting looking for truth everywhere and in various ‘holy’ books, I stopped being rigid about any spiritual practice.
The Truth is not exclusive to any religion
Instead of fasting and abstaining from eating meat, I decided to juice fast on certain Fridays for health and spiritual reasons. I speak a lot about the fasting topic and its benefits in my “Introduction to Fasting” article.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, OCD in short, is a mental illness that causes people to have unwanted thoughts and to repeat a certain pattern of behavior over and over again.
Sometimes it is compared to a mental hiccup, where the ill person have an involuntary urge to do a certain action.
In OCD’s terms, the unwanted thoughts, images, feelings that occur over and over are known as “Obsessions” whereas the act of doing a certain action in order to dismiss a certain obsession is coined as “Compulsions”.
OCD is not a mental disease caused by the individual him/herself (for example due to weak personality or will power), instead it is a physical/medical brain disorder that causes problems in processing the information.
Though the person with OCD knows that his obsessions or compulsions make no sense, s/he, most of the times cannot control his/her urges to stop the thoughts. Continue reading “Obsessive Compulsive Disorder – In Brief”
