The “I’m Better Than You” Syndrome
Have you ever had someone look down on you? Someone who only talks to you or stands your presence because it’s their job? I’m sure you have. You don’t have to admit it. Have you ever considered yourself better than other people? Of course you did. It’s human nature. Did you act like it? Like [...]

Sin City
Las Vegas, NV, the ultimate destination. Where you can drink, smoke and walk on the sidewalk at the same time without law inforcement being all over you. The “Sin City” where people come to let their wildest side loose and to have what they call fun while blowing away hard earned cash. As dreamy as [...]

The Recession – helping our kids to think
weird article on how the recession is actually helping the kids of today get more creative: http://www.toydirectory.com/MONTHLY/article.asp?id=3570 So, in other words the recession will have smarter kids as a side effect.

Airports… the hotels of the recession
Now that the recession is kicking in [or that's what the media is constantly telling us effectively contributing to the mass panic] one of the best thing you can do is travel for cheap prices and see things you couldn’t afford to see before [or at least that's what I hear].
