Hillary Clinton’s expert PR

Hi all,
This was a really cool message forwarded to be by my Journalism professor. Check it out :) Its really funny! Enjoy!

 A professional genealogical researcher discovered that Hillary Clinton’s great-great uncle, Remus Rodham, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. His only known photograph shows him standing on the gallows. On the back of the picture is the inscription: “Remus Rodham: horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885; escaped 1887; robbed the Montana Flyer six times; caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889.”

This was sent to Hillary Clinton. However, her staff of image consultants got their hands on it and decided they could use it for their own purposes: they cropped Remus’s picture and edited it with image processing software so all that’s seen is his face.They then wrote the following biographical sketch:

“Remus Rodham was a well-known cowboy in the Montana Territory in the late 19th century. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to service at a government facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency.

Cool isnt it? I mean, how good do you get! And to think it actually happened!!!! :D

Cheers, and have a great day!

Remember what I said about attitude? Here’s a cool example…

Hey all,
    Do you guys remember what I said about “attitude” a couple of weeks back? (I know you dont, but I live my life believing that my articles are admired and memorised by a big bunch of readers, so dont hurt my ego, please dig up that article using the Search feature, or Digg up that article using digg.com, and continue reading this…)

    Anyway… Once upon a time, uh, I mean, 2 years back, I had a senior. She, yes its a girl(duh!), was a very intelligent, witty, *short* gal whom everyone adored, but also teased due to her *height* which stopped a half inch to five foot ;) I remember her as what we call a “book-worm” or a “studious geek”. Ofcourse, juniors always form extremely puffed up images of seniors which may be entirely untrue (for example, a few of MY juniors keep saying that I’m “cool”).

    While I was browsing through the vast expanses of the internet today, I came across her blog, and she had this interesting post(yes, all this blabber was just an introduction to her post, this IS a PEACE blog - I can’t just say “Here’s a cool post” - I need to find a hidden moral :P ). The post went on to say about those things about herself that she was “definitely proud of“, but the list included her strengths as well as her infirmities. It went on like this -

1.My height
Vertically challenged that i am, i epitomise the fact that ” sweet things definitely come in small packages”

2.My smile
Warm, genuine and worth a million dollars. I manage to show ” 64 teeth in one go”

3.My haircut
The IN thing in fashion world, i spent 120 bucks for a hair cut that makes me” look like hutch puppie’s twin” with my hair open.

4.My Voice
Husky, “sexy” and different. I possess the unique ability to ” sound like a guy over the phone”

5,My music skills
” Would beat norah jones at the grammys”. they said it rite, I ROCK

7.My math
you just can’t beat me at it. Oops!! did i just count six on my fingers??

8.My sense of humour
Goofy, campy and clever. I am the ” queen of PJs”

9.My friends
Wonderful, wise and wacky . My biggest asset and the bestest assortment you can possibly come across.

10.My family
Supportive, caring and the best ever. Love you loads

Footnote:
I know the article is sweet. Told you anything small is.

Toenote:
you gotta know me well to appreciate the article. Sincere heartfelt apologies to all those fans who haven’t met me yet.

Nailnote:
For the ignorant, anything within quotes are utterances by great men and women

    Now thats what I call attitude :). Here’s a person who is ready for the “people ready” world ;). Be proud of whatever you are! Be proud of your strengths! Be proud of your weaknesses as well! Because there is no positive without a negative. Nature loves symmetry. Did scientists ignore electrons because they had a negative charge, and look at only the positive protons? Nope. And now, because they did not ignore electrons, we have an array theories and applications, which makes life a lot more interesting, simpler, and understandable.

    Philosophers may say, “Look at the positive side”. I don’t. When approached by an adverse situation, I think, “How can I approach this and conquer this? Through its positive effect or negative effect?”. In certain cases, your weaknesses turn into strengths. In certain cases, come to think about it, your negatives turn positives. And like Stephen Hawkings, you might discover that the negatives are absorbed by the good ol’ black hole, leaving only positives (Theory of entropy of Black Holes - explosion of Black Holes)…

    Check :). And yes, I’m checking my post here as well. I have a fat lot more of Biology to complete before my final exam on Wednesday… So caio! Azeera chechi, if you’re reading this, thanks for yet another object to write on :)

P.S: Big news coming tomorrow (If I risk it online…) A sister site to be launched :) Stay tuned :)

Life Cycle of bloggers - dedicated to my blogging pals :)

Hey all,
    I found this really witty post named “Lifecycle of Bloggers” in the Min Jung blog. Its a pretty old post (31/5/2005) but then its worth sharing :) Enjoy…

    I dedicate this to all my blogging pals :)

1. Start reading blogs.

You start out as a lurker and by either having met a blogger or run
across an intriguing and challenging post from someone else’s blog, you
start mulling about in your head for either a forum for response,
challenge, or agreement. You could start by commenting on
other folks blogs first, but you start having a gradually increased
desire for a space of your own. Like when you’re living in your
parent’s basement and the rest of your friends are making weekly trips
to Home Depot and using words like “mulching”. You begin to wonder if
you want to belong.

2. You start a blog.

Maybe at first it’s on blogspot or livejournal. You start writing
about cheese sandwiches. You use your full name and the full names of
your friends that are involved in your occasionally mischievous
exploits. These things satisfy you. Hubris starts taking a more
significant part of your site as you develop your tiny homestead
online. The notion of fleshing out your online personality becomes
important.

3. You become a stats whore.

Daily stats/referrals and meme participation for webrings,
quizlists, personality profiles, and the occasional sepia toned webcam
photo to make you look all “emo” and “sultry” and “sensitive” or at
least a little bit thinner. And definitely like a Kpop music video
still image. You voraciously groom your links list as you build a
posse. The wishlist makes it’s initial appearance and creepy strangers
start sending you gifts when your birthday comes around. You consider
this slightly weird, but hey, then again, you did get that Star Wars Box set that you always wanted. You start memes just for the additional traffic. Perhaps you even start a webgame of sorts.

4. You become really personal on your site as the online and real-life worlds start confusing you.

As you recognize the possibility of being an opinion leader in your
personal circle, people flame you. You occasionally flame back. You cry
about comments that certain people make to provoke you. You bitch about
these things as well. Then you take into consideration that comments
were made by pimply 14 year olds who post jpegs of their warcraft
characters online and realize that these lOZeRs aren’t worth your time.
This gives you an sense of superiority. Haha! you say to yourself. I
have a posse and a blog and you don’t. So fuck off, you lame twat.
Hazzah!

5. You faux “retire” from blogging.

Having temporarily exhausted the emotional reservoir from which your
personal blog has sprung forth, you post about retiring. Or a vacation.
Or a hiatus. Or a sabbatical. You say this will be permanent. Or last a
month.

6. You cave back into blogging in less than 72 hours.

You candy pants blogging crack addict.

7. You decide to “get serious” about blogging.

You seek out “The A-List” of bloggers and start reading more of
them, and news about them, and news about blogging in general. You come
to the conclusion that if you ever hope to join their rank, then you
need to at least register your own domain. After all,
http://candypantsnewbiebloggeraboutcheesesandwhiches.blogspot.com will
not get you linked by Kottke.

8. You have a pseudo flirty im/blogging/flickr flirting relationship with another blogger whom you have never met.

This will likely end badly. Very badly.

9. You decide that you must meet other bloggers.

SXSW seems like a good way to go about it. Or attendance at Fray Day.
Or finding any excuse possible to move to San Francisco. At least a
trip, after all. With a visit to SF, meeting other “celebrity” bloggers
is just as tasty a tourist destination as going to Fisherman’s Wharf.
Or more so. Definitely more so. Your blogroll grows threefold.

10. You take a step back and metablog about blogging and what blogging has done about your blogging.

You become pedantically navelgazingly annoying. For some reason,
your blogger readership eats this shit up. This does not convince you,
however, that you want to do something silly like smoke weed with Marc
Canter. Because even you know that’s a bad idea.

11. See step 5.

Shampoo, rinse, repeat.

12. You decide that as a result of step 10 and having
repeated step 5 more than 3 times in the course of your lifecycle as a
blogger, that you need to sanitize or reinvent your blog.

You purge or hide archive entries and take more note to remove full
names of your friends/crushes/accidentaldrunkenfondels from your site
and links list. Your blog goes back to cheese sandwiches. But this time
your site validates.

13. You either lose your job because of blogging, are
afraid of losing your job for blogging, or join a company that builds
blogging tools.

Either way, your blog either dies a horrible painful death, or
becomes significantly less personal to the degree of trite and
uninteresting compartmentalization or subject matter discretion.

14. You decide to start an anonymous livejournal blog.

Here is where you still talk about your crushes, the he said/she
said crap, and that you really really really really really really
really like Maroon 5. And it’s on your wishlist.

    :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

    Thank you Min Jung!

Attitude is every thing…

Hi all,
    A few months back, I received an email forward from one of the persons I trust the most on this planet. It went on to say the importance of attitude…

An old man lived alone in Minnesota.He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son,who would have helped him, was in prison.The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation:
——————————————
Dear Son,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate to misdoing the garden, because your mother always loved planting time. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot.If you were here, all my troubles would be over.

 I know you would dig the plot, for me if you weren’t in the prison.
Love,
Dad
——————————————

Shortly ,the old man received this telegram:

——————————————
“For Heaven’s sake, Dad, don’t dig up the garden !!That’s where I buried the GUNS!!”
——————————————

At 4 a.m.the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns.
Confused,the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened and asked him what to do next.
His son’s reply was:

——————————————
“Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad It’s the best I could do for you from here.”
——————————————

NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD, IF YOU HAVE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING DEEP FROM YOUR HEART, YOU CAN DO IT,. IT IS THE THOUGHT THAT MATTERS NOT WHERE YOU ARE.

Attitude is Everything……

    Indeed a wise message! Attitude is everything!

    So if a son in jail could dig up his fathers farm, why cant people like you and me help stop war? The answer is, YES WE CAN! Buddha wanted to be enlightened, and he wanted to spread peace, he had the right attitude, and acheived his aim! Gandhiji wanted to stop war, and spread peace, he had the right attitude, and he spread peace over two continents! So if YOU want to spread peace, YOU CAN!

    What provoked me to post about attitude right now, right here, is a bunch of so called “geeks” from a stupid blog. The blog specialized in critisizing other blogs, and calling themselves “supreme” while they were what they were - low down and stinking. Ofcourse, they had a cult with them. The so called cult which calls themselves “geeks” from another universe with the “best blogs on earth” to be a model for other “weaklings”.

    These people happened to visit BlogForPeace, and they were laughing, CORRECTION, laughing at, the site, the organization, the supporters, and the readers of this blog. Why? They say that this is absolute stupidity, and that no one can do anything at all. They said that I’m mad, and that I’m just a fool with another of those “save the world” idiosyncrasies.

    Maybe all that is true, but then what they said about “couldn’t save the world” is absolute bull****! Its all in the attitude. If you believe that you can stop war, you CAN stop war! If you believe that you can create peace, you CAN create peace. Whatever other people say, whatever other people might opinion, its YOUR belief which counts, and finally, it is YOU who WILL make a difference, provided you have the right attitude!

    So believe in yourself, get a proper attitude, and there lies open a limitless ocean of oppurtunities and stakes. Adios dear readers, until next time, keep beleiving…

Postie Patrol is back in action! PART 3!

Hey all,
    The PayPerPost Postie Patrol is back in action, and this time, they hit the streets of Chicago in the freezing cold! Yep, there was Ted Murphy, as usual, and an HP guy named Michael, and they hit upon Robyn Nykaza in a mall for one of the most hilarious postie patrols I’ve ever seen(all three of them ;) ).

    They briefed Robyn, and her family, they got into a cab, and they hit dirt! Lol. Or rather, they hit the streets of Chicago on a hunt which seemed a never ever one… :) And what was at stake? An HP camera+video gear, and an HP Photo printer! And ofcourse, $1000!!! Watch -

    How was it dudes and gals? What was your personal favourite part? My favourite was where Ted stripped off his slacks to reveal a pair of shorts, and posed like a crazy punk, while Robyn took his pic ;) Hey Ted, you sure dont look the age you actually are :D And ofcourse, while Robyn took a stranger’s autograph, Ted says “Caatfiiish” and does an on the spot catfish with a glass door ;)

    Boy oh Boy, wouldnt I LOVE to participate in a PPP Postie Patrol like this one! One of THE most HILARIOUS! Robyn, congrats… Ted, keep it up… :)

    Oh, by the way, this post was sponsered by HP(as if I wouldn’t post it anyway if it werent sponsered ;) ) Ofcourse, as we all know HP is one of the pioneers in Digital Photo Printing. Their digicams are cool, so are their printers…

A politcally correct greeting…

Hello all,
    I was browsing through the pages of YFMA Community (the hosting-provider of BlogForPeace) when I saw a member named Steve who decided to publish a politically correct seasons greeting.

    I know, its a bit too late for a Merry Christmas, and a bit too early for a Happy New Year, but then the post is quite hilarious, and here it is :)

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes
for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress,
non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice
holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the
religious persuasion or secular practices of your choice, with respect
for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others or
their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. 

I
also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and
medically uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar
year 2007, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of
other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make Britain
great. This is not to imply that Britain is necessarily greater than
any other country. 

These wishes are sent without regard to
the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or
sexual preference or orientation of the recipient. 

By accepting these greetings you are agreeing to the following terms:   

This
greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely
transferable with no alteration to the original greeting without the
express written permission of the issuer. It implies no promise by the
wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for herself or himself
or others, and is void where prohibited by law and is revocable at the
sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as
expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of
one year or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting,
whichever comes first. All warranties, either written or implied, are
limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the
sole discretion of the wisher.

    Lol :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
    Read the entire conversation HERE.
    Cheers, and a happy new year ;)

HUMOUR : 25 superb Analogies by students!

Hey all,
    I found this while I was browsing a few of my most favourite blogs ;) Its a great joke - by students. These were quotes by students all over the world, collected and passed on via email forwards :) Enjoy them :)

1. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a ThighMaster.

2. His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.

3. He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like
a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one
of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country
speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar
eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.

4. She grew on him like she was a colony of E. Coli, and he was room-temperature Canadian beef.

5. She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.

6. Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.

7. He was as tall as a six-foot, three-inch tree.

8. The revelation that his marriage of 30 years had disintegrated
because of his wife’s infidelity came as a rude shock, like a surcharge
at a formerly surcharge-free ATM machine.

9. The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn’t.

10. McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.

11. From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an
eerie, surreal quality, like when you’re on vacation in another city
and Jeopardy comes on at 7:00 p.m. instead of 7:30.

12. Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze.

13. The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.

14. Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced
across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one
having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from
Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.

15. They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences that resembled Nancy Kerrigan’s teeth.

16. John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.

17. He fell for her like his heart was a mob informant, and she was the East River.

18. Even in his last years, Granddad had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long it had rusted shut.

19. Shots rang out, as shots are wont to do.

20. The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work.

21. The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while.

22. He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck,
either, but a real duck that was actually lame, maybe from stepping on
a land mine or something.

23. The ballerina rose gracefully en Pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.

24. It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with power tools.

25. He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a garbage truck backing up.

    Howwwzaaat? :D And the BlogForPeace award for the best quote goes to -

23. The ballerina rose gracefully en Pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.

    :D Laughter is always good for health… Laugh, and the world laughs with you… Cry, and you cry alone…

Definition of blog…

Hey all,
    As I was haunting the PPP boards today, I came across this quite hilarious definition of what is a “blog”…. Enjoy :)

 Oh, blog is easy. It’s where wanna be journalists with no ethics hawk their spammy spew.

    Wasn’t that great! I had quite a laugh over it :) The great insane poster is Cass… Who claims herself to be Cass, Mom of 8 and knitter :) Lol… If you’re interested in knitting stuff, check out her blog at www.cassknits.com .
