Poems For ReviewRe: The Linda-Bashiru Story by Seun(mod): 6:16pm On Aug 17, 2006
Thanks for the encouragement, guys. Writing is not the easiest thing for me, but if you really love the story that much, I'll definitely complete it. I'm basically looking for a way to build a business out of fiction.

f.chick, I'm so sorry for the delay.

Dating And Meet-up ZoneRe: Can You Date Someone You Consider Unattractive? by Seun(mod): 2:54pm On Aug 17, 2006
when men talk about a pretty or beautiful babe or lady, they are making her a sex object.
That statement is 100% false. Beauty is something that goes beyond sexual attraction. Some cars are beautiful while others are ugly. Some computer desktops are beautiful while others are ugly. To humans.

Think about this: a girl might be called beautiful simply because she has a face that is pleasant to look at. What does the face have to do with sex? Almost nothing. It's not about sex, it's about aesthetics, proportion!

If you listen to players talking about girls, you'll here them say things like, "that girl looks so fine but she's a dissapointment in bed" or "you might think this mistress of mine is ugly, but compared to my wife she's a goddess in bed". Doesn't this show that, even in the mind of a male player, there's a big difference between beauty and sex?

The fact is that sex is part of a relationship, and so is beauty - though it's separate. If you're going to have sex with a lady, it's natural to want her to be good at it. If you're going to spend the rest of your life gazing at one woman's face every morning, you'll want that face to be a beautiful one. It's only natural.

You cannot separate the 'heart' of a person from superficial qualities such as beauty. A beautiful woman's beauty is part of her. A sexy woman's sex appeal is part of her. (A rich man's wealth is part of him too!)

So going back to the question, I can't seriously date someone I consider physically unattractive. But I think I can have such a person as a good friend. It's only natural; I'm being realistic here. wink

Go and create your own job if you are not satisfied with what current employers are offering!

Nobody owes anybody a job. It's your duty to make yourself useful to others so they can pay you.

BusinessRe: Small Computer Accessories Business by Seun(mod): 10:42am On Aug 16, 2006
You should contact all the business centers, schools, etc in your area that use computers. Tell them that you can supply them with consumables and such at a moment's notice. Drop your card with them so they can call you instantly when they need a new ink cartridge, writable CD, etc. Then buy these items and keep them at home!

The idea is that instead of sending somene to Computer Village they'll call you and you'll deliver instantly. I've seen someone running this kind of business profitably in Abeokuta, and he sells even motherboards.

CareerWhy You Should Never Get A Job by Seun(mod): 10:01am On Aug 16, 2006
1. It’s the stupidest way you can possibly generate income, because you only get paid when you’re working.

2. The problem with getting experience from a job is that you usually just repeat the same limited experience over and over.

3. Getting a job is like enrolling in a human domestication program. You learn how to be a good pet.

4. Employee income is the most heavily taxed there is.

5. Many employees believe getting a job is the safest and most secure way to support themselves. Morons.

6. When you run into an idiot in the corporate world, you have to turn around and say, “Sorry, boss.”

7. When you want to increase your income, do you have to sit up and beg your master for more money?

8. An inbred social life.

9. Loss of freedom.

10. Becoming a coward.

So says Steve Pavlina, who has been self-employed for more than a decade:
http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2006/07/10-reasons-you-should-never-get-a-job/

I don't agree with some of his reasons. Do you?

- I selected the black part of my eye in quick black mode.
- I used the color balance feature to make it yellowish.
- Then I selected the white circle in the middle of my eye.
- I used edit -> free transform tool to stretch it vertically.

Art, Graphics & VideoSlitted Eyes With Photoshop by Seun(mod): 2:29am On Aug 16, 2006
Here's a picture I created by coloring my eyes yellow and creating slits. I intend to use this technique for a super-hero character whose powers involve being possessed by a snake or something like that.

Is it convincing? Do you find it easy to believe that there's a snake behind these eyes?

BusinessRe: Small Computer Accessories Business by Seun(mod): 8:08pm On Aug 15, 2006
You need to start with consumables like:
- Toner and Ink cartridges and refill kits.
- Recordable and Rewritable CDs and DVDs.

You should also stock PC parts that often need replacement:
- Hard disks.
- CD-ROM and DVD Drives.
- Keyboards.
- Mice (or is it mouses? grin)

Finally, you should get PC accessories used to upgrade systems:
- SDRAM and DDRAM memory modules.
- PC Speakers and headsets.

That's what I think you need for a small scale computer accessory business.

Poems For ReviewRe: The Linda-Bashiru Story by Seun(mod): 5:11am On Aug 15, 2006
As Tunde’s car began to move, Linda savored the cold breeze inside it. Then she picked up her phone and Tunde’s business card as if to record his number. Seconds later, Tunde’s phone began to ring, yet the caller kept dropping the call immediately he picked it.

Tunde: Not again. Someone is flashing me with an unknown number.

Linda: Why don’t you call the person back?

Tunde: Good idea.

Tunde called the number in question and Linda’s phone began to ring. She picked the call.

Tunde: Hello?

Linda: Hello, I would like to speak with Tunde Phillips.

Tunde smiled halfway and threw a questioning look at Linda. She smiled back and continued with the call.

Tunde: Yes, this is Tunde speaking.

Linda: Really? My name is Linda Bella, and I’m your biggest fan.

Tunde: (grinning) Is that so?

Linda: Yes! And I happen to know everything about you. I know about your family in the UN, your love for engineering, your management of the Phillips Industries Engineering Group even as a student. I know your height, your weight, your favorite color. I even know about 6-pack you carry on your tummy. I know about your plan to further your studies at the UN next year. You’re practically a celebrity, you know.

Tunde: Interesting. You seem to think you know everything about me.

Linda: That’s because I know everything about you. See, I even know the names of all your celebrity girlfriends, although I wish they’d just disappear so I can take their place!

Tunde: Really? That’s serious, isn’t it?

Driver: Sir, we’ve reached the Café.

Tunde: Oops, it seems we’ll have to cut this short. Can we meet tomorrow at 6pm, Central Plaza? I’d love to tell you some things you don’t know. And later, I’d like to show you some pleasurable secrets. (wink)

Linda: I don’t know … let me check my hectic schedule.

Linda aimed her lips at Tunde’s cheek and gave him a light kiss.

Linda: It’s a date then. See you around.

Linda stepped out of Tunde’s car and walked towards the Café, while Tunde’s car zoomed off.

Jokes EtcAudio Message: 'A Reason To Sow' by Seun(mod): 1:49am On Aug 15, 2006
Listen to this hilarous comedy of translation:
https://www.nairaland.com/img/areasontosow.cp.mp3

And the bible says, "Isaac sowed in the land" | Bibeli si so wipe, "Isaaci si so si ile naa"

But you need a good reason to sow | Sugbon o nilo idi to dara lati so

Produced by the Covenant University drama group. Yoruba speakers will understand the humor.
If you don't understand Yoruba, just replace every instance of 'reason' with 'bottom' and 'sow' with 'fart'.
'Reason' sounds like 'bottom' in Yoruba, and 'fart' in Yoruba sounds like the English 'sow'.

My favorite Naruto character is Orochimaru. He's smart, fully dedicated to his cause, powerful, and shows respect to those more powerful than him. Besides, the way he vomits snakes, extends his neck, and changes bodies during battle is so cool. He has an answer to any jutsu you throw at him, and he knows to run away when he's beaten.
