Why is every man compelled to solving his own plumbing issues?

Yeah, well… I must be honest, here. Even though I see myself as a modern kind of guy, sometimes I still find myself trapped within old-fashioned reasonings. For example, I’ve been putting off calling plumber Alexandria for a couple of weeks now, because in my head, a real man is supposed to be able to handle is plumbing affairs. Lol, and no, I don’t mean that in a dirty way either… I’m really talking about an annoying dripping faucet that annoys me to no end, each and every night. And each morning I almost make up my mind to call the plumber, but each afternoon I end up convincing myself I could fix that faucet on my own.

Well, and I might indeed be able to handle this situation myself… the problem is that I never really seem to get enough spare time to deal with that problem. So I think I’ll be doing the sensible thing, and pushing myself to get the help of a professional who can effectively fix those plumbing issues once and for all! This is something most women won’t understand (the manly urge handle house problems on my own), but right now I don’t want to get understood – I just want that annoying dripping sound to stop.

Life can be scary; better to rely on Exceptional Practice!

Sometimes, it’s almost as if we think we’re immortal, the way we live reckless lives and fail to enjoy the good things, the good people surrounding us. That is until something scary such as heart disease and periodontal or cancer or something like that eventually sprouts, as if a reminder that we might as well have enjoyed the good times. But when such thing happens, it’s usually to late, anyway… right? With that in mind, I think it’s a good idea to check up with the Centers for Dental Medicine.

No news, here: life can be utterly scary… or rather the prospect that life will eventually expire. Although all in all, I suppose it’s just a matter of perspective. You see, I was reading this list of celebrities who died in 2009 (it’s much too long and much too depressing, so I think I won’t even post it here), and I noticed most of them died either of a heart attack or cancer – most notably lung cancer. I don’t know why, but this realization scared me deeply and felt somehow like a wake-up call. I’m not some kind of celebrity – that’s granted, but the way I handle myself, sometimes I feel as though I’m a prime candidate for such kind of diseases, and that’s really depressing.

Well, on the other hand, I have no plans to become hypochondriac anytime soon, so I guess I’m better off choosing a hands-on approach. I ought to get routine check-ups on a regular basis, and it’s about time to start looking after my health, exercising more and such. Even more important, I’ll try to keep in mind it’s best to enjoy life while it lasts. Because it certainly will not last forever!

Generational Equity: common sense or common scam?

This is probably one of the things I find most annoying in our modern world: there are just too many scam artists posing as good people. This is a terrible thing because those snake oil parasites who pray on the good will of people are directly responsible for the waves of apathy that permeate us all. I mean, we would all love to trust each other unboundfully, right? But all the while, it would be unrealistic to assume that all people are trustworthy.

Well, I’m bringing this up because I’ve been reading about the so-called generational equity… which in theory sounds like a good principle, deep-rooted in common sense. But after reading some web pages about this concept, I started finding several others which claimed it’s actually a scam, and to put a long story short I’m now quite confuse and disgruntled. So, if anyone out there can provide some enlightenment on this issue, please speak your minds out freely using the comments box. That would be much appreciated!
