World in the mist of 'LIKE'

Someone might already brought this into light, but I just realized it.

It all started with me thinking for the reasons why people write poems.

One can list out Love, hate, compassion, dream, happiness, sorrow and go on till he is out of all emotions.

On thinking, I narrowed the list down to one, which is like.

Let me just list out all above reasons one by one and then show how they indeed are like

Love - Synonym of like !

Hate - You hate something because you like something else.

Compassion - You care for others. Isn't that kind of like?

Dream - You like to achieve something.

Happiness - Its because you like it

Sorrow - Its because you miss something you like

You might strike this out as my perspective, but like in every human got its own perspective.

Selfishness, corruption, war, crime and what not. Just name it and see that we are covered by like.

One can only create like as destroying it would be an act because he likes something else.

What Your Facial Hair Says About You : Mustaches

Tom Selleck. Ron Jeremy. Groucho Marx. All dudes with limited career options at this point, but more importantly, all dudes with notable mustaches. Historically, the mighty ‘stache has been a calling card of masculinity, and this doesn't appear to be changing any time soon. Also, I would call attention to the popular t-shirt reading "Mustache Rides - 5 cents." I'm pretty sure this can be counted as history's first meme.

What it says about you:

The Chevron

As the proud bearer of a classic American mustache, I know how to get things done. Whatever my job is, I'm good at it, and I enjoy it. And it's probably something cool, like "race car driver" or "middle relief pitcher."

---

The Horseshoe

I've absolutely no dignity left to assail. I'm probably not an actual biker, but if I put on a leather jacket as well, at least no one will crowd me on the bus. In rare cases: This Tuesday I'll be fighting the Iron Sheik at the Imperial Bingo Palace on Interstate 41. Whatcha gonna do, when these 24-inch pythons run wild on you, brother!

---

The Toothbrush

If it's later than 1945, and I'm not appearing in a biopic about the life of Charlie Chaplin, there's something seriously wrong here, fraulein.

---

The Handlebar

I am more concerned with looking stylish than looking tough. I probably know other mustache guys, but I'm far too classy to point out that their shapeless tufts fall far short of my efforts.Alternatively: Hey Paizan! Whatta you want on this-a pizza?

---

The Pencil

I'm an artistic type, and my art tends to push boundaries. Even if that "art" is stage magic, mime, or tango instruction.

---

The Fu-Manchu

I might be an intergalactic villain intent on conquering the galaxy, or I might just be the creepy guy in the neighborhood who hangs out a little too close to the playground for comfort. Either way, better steer clear.

---

The Walrus

I'm so manly, I basically grew a second ballsack on my face. I'm pretty handy with power tools, but don't kid yourself. I could chop down a tree faster than you too. So could my horse, and my 12 to 15 kids. Who, incidentally, refer to me as "Pa."

---

The English

I talk with some sort of weird accent which I obviously adopted after spending a semester in some weird country. But at least I'm handy to have around; at this very moment, there's enough wax on my lip to sculpt a little candle in case of a blackout.

The top ten most difficult Truth or Dare questions

The top ten most difficult Truth or Dare questions

Proceed With Caution

The following truth or dare questions can reveal more about your friends or colleagues than you ever wanted to know. Also, try to be cautious about who is present at the party. If a friend of someone’s current boyfriend is at a party, keep this in mind when you are asking the girlfriend particular “truth” questions. Inevitably, her answers will get back to her boyfriend, and if it’s something that she didn’t want him knowing, it could have a disastrous affect on the relationship.

Question 1:

Describe your First Intimate Experience

While this may often result in a fairly tame response, such as the typical intimate experimentation of school kids or younger kids, some people have somewhat traumatic experiences from their childhood. So exercise caution when asking this truth or dare question, because you may get far more than you bargained for.

Question 2:

What is the most annoying habit that your girlfriend/boyfriend has?

This question is great to ask the person who is constantly bragging about their boyfriend or girlfriend. It will force them to admit something about them that isn’t “perfect.” Be careful though, the answer to this question can sometimes be fairly disgusting!

Question 3:

How well “endowed” is your boyfriend or girlfriend?

This question is much more fun for a party of girlfriends, because with guys it is not quite as obvious which boyfriend is “well-endowed,” and which isn’t. On the other hand, guys will always know which girlfriend is better endowed than others. When girls get together and one of them is asked this very sensitive question, the answer you receive can sometimes be quite surprising!

Question 4:

Have you ever not made it to the bathroom in time and had an “accident?”

This question will be very hard for someone to admit if they are a “prude” or very self-conscious. However other people have absolutely no problem answering this question, and will sometimes give you far more information than you bargained for.

Question 5:

Have you ever been extremely “intimate” with someone in a public place?

The most common answers to this question, if the person is truthful, can range from in an airplane, an elevator, in a crowded theater, or in the same house (or sometimes the same room!) where parents or siblings are unaware.

Question 6:

What is the most embarrassing thing you’ve ever done?

While this is often a fairly tame answer, sometimes people can really get themselves into trouble. If the answer is embarrassing enough, and someone in the room is unscrupulous enough, the answer can be potential ammunition for blackmail. Use this question with caution, and answer it with even greater caution!

Question 7:

Have you ever cheated on your boyfriend/girlfriend?

This is a very common truth or dare question, with very common consequences. If the boyfriend or girlfriend is a current one, they **inevitably** discover how this question was answered, and the relationship is destroyed. Avoid this question at all costs, and if you are asked it, and can’t answer with a “no” – chose a dare instead. The embarrassment of the dare will be far less than the damage from sharing such information with friends.

Question 8:

If you had only 24 hours to live, what would you do?

While this question isn’t dangerous at all, the answers to it can sometimes be very entertaining and unexpected.

Question 9:

What is the strangest dream you’ve ever had?

Almost everyone has a strange dream, and often it’s a recurring one. Hearing someone else’s dream is sometimes very surreal, and often it can tell a great deal about the person’s deepest fears.

Question 10:

If you could make anyone in the room your servant for the day, who would it be and what would you make them do?

The answer to this question runs the gamut from lame, to extremely provocative and sometimes very disturbing! If you are brave enough to ask this question, be prepared for anything.
