Saturday night anyone?

These days of austerity in the "western" - OECD world, it feels that Saturdays have become "Friday bis" and that Sundays have become pre-Mondays!

How about Saturday nights?

Here's a song about Saturday nights (the good ole ones):

Mind......?

mindboggling or mindblogging?

Suffering for ....

Suffering for a living?

In these austere times: sensualité contre .....

sensualité contre l'austérité * sensualidade contra a austeridade * sensualidad en contra de la austeridad * sensualità contro l'austerità

The 4 tools for good living - happiness

Tools for good living: Logic, philosophy and humor (plus, of course, sex)

Life as a movie

Your life is a "movie", but for a very small audience (you and a small number of your family and friends).

The value of laziness

Is "laziness" the new competitive advantage?

Re-engineering the industrial era

Does the industrial era need re-engineering in terms of separating the pros and the cons and removing the cons?

The Highway or the RN?

Slow down, smell the roses, move on the right lane (left in UK) of the highway or even better, take non-toll - RN ("route nationale" in France) roads.

Do less for more!

Can one have a successful worklife "outside" the "highways" of the job market and the economy? IMO, it is worth trying.

Unless one can play "their game" his/her own way. For more read my poem: The Highway to Success.

What is Love?

What is Love?

Some claim that "Love" is a word that is often used by men to get sex and women to get a commitment, LTR (long term relationship), marriage.

IMO, Love means a platonic feeling a human is supposed to have towards ALL other humans, according to both Jesus Christ and John Lennon as well as many others.

Eros or "being in Love" (as opposed to Love) is the fickle but wonderful emotion between two humans that turns mere sex into a mystical experience called "making love".

Our obsession with certainty?

How much premium do we humans pay for our obsession with certainty?

Certainty is not Nature's way.

Can we embrace uncertainty?

How I define "fair trade"

IMO fair trade is free trade that is coupled with freedom in immigration, goods + services (ie 4 freedoms)

Social Dynamics: Mellowing Out

"When I mellow, I ripe and then I rot"

(Woody Allen's character in "Annie Hall", 1977, 30 years ago)

That was then, what is now, in 2007? Do people get a chance to "mellow out" in these just-in-time, "fast food, fast everything". To deliberate? Is "mellowing out" or "hyperness" the way to live today?
