I am a cusp between Messi & Rooney – Messi not in mad skills but in midget height – Rooney not in machismo but in ugliness. Born with no deformities but a Gift – thought Xenophobia was a gift – hated doctors & nurses instantaneously – But soon realized I hated All Mankind with equal vengeance – A bloody Misanthrope – Futbal came to my rescue & became my soulmate – It was like Calvin & Hobbes – In spirit & uselessness.

I was mind-blowingly pathetic in academics – had no friends – A fact misanthropic lunatic can’t complain but cherish – But the levels of my human phobia were so high that I turned a legendary almost gay; team sport like futbal into a narcissistic loner (Read: Loser). I played against a mute brick wall.

I got married to a quadruple divorced rich lady – whom no one wanted to touch. We made love (Yikes) & had quadruplets (Karma) – I got bored & filed for divorce – I got it; as judge adjudged her to be boring at par with Dalai Lama.

I got thick suitcases of money in settlement for alimony. I didn’t have friends, had family but didn’t like, didn’t have greed, didn’t know what to do with all the stashed cash. I mean there is a limit to the numbers futbals one can buy.  This was June 2009.

A year later, came Now – June 2010 – I bought a full à la carte package for the World Cup 2010 in the former apartheid stricken South Africa.

On the Airport Cape Town, I bumped into the French National Squad (looked more African) & officials – Bonjour Monsieur – Someone said to me, who was trying to build rapport as my dark complexion made me look home-grown – I ignored in my patent arrogance – Who was the star here by the way –

Italians were on the same flight – I was pampering myself with Business Class on Alimony-money – That rhymes like Jingle Bell Jingle All the Way. Excuse my humor-less-humor -

German octopus sat on the seat next to mine (because I despised human company) – He whispered to me – (No one knows this until I make this revelation) – “Both French & Italians will get the boot in the premier round. French will bicker within & Italian-Stallion will bite dust” those were his divine words. 

By now Paul is too famous – the number of assassination threats is a record already. Rumor has it that Israel’s infamous Hit Squad has been loaned by Argentine Mafia to take-out Paul. Al Qaeda has offered protection; in return they ask Paul’s help in taming The Iron Man – Al Qaeda actually believes Iron Man is real – Holy Cow

The video of the game between Uruguay & France became a smash hit with Insomnia Patients – Initial response has been spectacular – we could be on the verge of a major scientific/sport break-through. 

English drew with 12 men Yanks – Robert Green was Man-Of-Match for USA. Speculation is that Green secured a 7 figure deal with a butter/margarine giant in USA after the showcase of his naturally buttery fingers.

Indians leaped in Joy as German babies over-ran the sledging nemesis World Champion (Cricket of course) Aussie Socceroos. Oz media blamed Home-Sickness & trashy African Beer – Aussies sorely missed Fosters’ Long Necks. Red Carded Cahill & Kewell put their dis-appointment in best words when they spoke in Tandem with an African Beer in one hand – “F%$#ing oath – Where’s the Froth” 

Forlan’s brace sealed South Africa’s fate – I ran out of air but didn’t stop blowing my special edition Vuvuzela (all on Ali-money) – Vuvuzela has come to the rescue of long-suffering sissy husbands from their evil incessantly blabbering Fat wives. 

Lampard scored but assistant referee’s mind was elsewhere trying to score. English were shown where they belonged, in History & soon Argentine bubble was burst by the German Infants who showed no teething troubles.

Maradona’s dream of streaking across Buenos Aires was shattered. He wasn’t truly worried about Argentina winning; He just wanted the Argentine people to see his waxed hard buttocks.

Paraguayans were buoyed by Sleep with One & All offer by some depraved lass. Spaniards weren’t choking anymore (No hidden meanings) – Paraguay went down without scoring (literally too) & watching her Nude on paper was the minor consolation.

Suarez brought back the fond memories of Cheating & Getting Away – He became the Hand of God Volume 2 – This One Saves (against – Maradona’s Hand of God Volume 1 – This One Scores)

Another Diego (Forlan) became the Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar of Uruguay & cruised an otherwise mediocre ship before watching it sink under the wrath of Oranje Ocean led by sailor Robben.

German just borns were spanked about by the Spain’s First Ever Non Choking Squad. Paul had asked for black commando security cover before the Final Whistle. In Rishikesh; India, a temple of Paul Octopus Baba was already underway.

The Grande Finale felt like American Football League Final. Dutch tried hard to cover their inferiority with barbarity. Eventually, Ineista Scored & I jumped in Joy only to fall back on my seat to realize I resided in the middle of Oranje Gangsters. But I wasn’t scared – I was ecstatic – I had overcome the human phobia – I was happy for someone – I was happy for the Best Team who deserved the Cup – It was forever due & it was about time to state the cliché.

South Africa showed that even if their Home-grown teams suck, They have heart & they have the acumen, their organization of the Cup was matchless. World Cup Twenty-Ten opened many doors & showed the mighty can fall if they lack the Three-C’s Concord (French), Courage (Italians) & Conviction (England).

I am no more a Misanthrope – All credit to Futbal – To Sports – Sport has no religion – It is like Super-Glue – It binds us all, even those who have nothing in common – It makes us realize that we’re infact ONE –

Brazil 2014 – I am Coming – With my Quadruplets sans Fat Wife & the Paraguayan depraved lass – & yet again on Ali-money

Gone were the days when companies and agencies were concerned about the privacy of their users, nowadays everyone seems to be in haste to capaitalise on whatever comes their way to sell in the market. In the recent coverages of The Wall Street Journal is reporting on Facebook, MySpace Confront Privacy Loophole and Mashable’s recent article on Facebook and Others Caught Sending User Data to Advertisers, it is clearly shown that most social media websites along with websites that have enormous traffic don’t seem to comply with users’ privacy. Indeed a great cause of concern for every one of us.

Let’s fight together against these “big” and “fat” fishes by raising our voice.

What do you think about these recent issues raised against these so called “social media” websites?

I would love to hear from all of you

It says, “With Google owning 72% of the US search market I often wonder who Google thinks of as its competitors. Whilst Bing’s relaunch provided an improved search engine over MSN Live, I wonder whether it’s actually proving better than Google. I still Google rather than Bing!

So if not a rival search engine, who might Google think of as competition? I believe the answer to that question is YOU.”

No doubt, it is a great post with so many common things with the importance of putting special emphasis on common sense (but the biggest problem is that common sense has become highly ‘uncommon’ these days..ha). Particularly I like the statement “questioning the ROI of Social Media is akin to questioning the ROI of putting on your pants in the morning (you just have to do it)…so true

If you are anything like me you like to know how things work – and, website design is no exception. So, I went to college and learnt how to design a website and how to write html etc. In fact, I thoroughly enjoyed the course and learnt lots of things about how my website works. Most of all, however, I learned enough to realize that, despite that year at college –albeit part-time – what I knew about websites was enough to cover a postage stamp!

Yes, I could write a website but would my website ever be good enough to draw the customers in? I don’t think so! I learnt all about meta-tags and keywords; how to incorporate layers; and how to adjust color scales. The trouble is, from that course I learnt enough to realize that, for a really good website, I needed to leave it to the professionals to do.

I can honestly say that I know enough to tell the Website Designers exactly what I want but, through the knowledge I gained at college, I wouldn’t dream of leaving my precious website to a generic template and the little I have learned. Added to which, I also learnt enough to realize that I didn’t even like doing it!

So, what are the pros and cons of using web templates to design a website? Naturally, when first starting out, money is often in short supply and hiring a professional to provide you with your first website will be expensive. You can purchase quite good templates that are more affordable than hiring a professional Web Designer – only you can decide whether that is likely to be false economy.

After all, your website is likely to be the first impressions your customer is likely to get of you: you can never get another first impression! Another advantage that immediately springs to mind is that you can easily gain access to your website control panel to make any changes you want without having to wait for your professional Web Designer to be free.

Personally, though, I have found it is easier to leave it to somebody else to deal with my website design – somebody whom I can trust to provide me with a professional site – than to purchase a professional-looking web template that I have to put together myself. To me, the argument is professional as opposed to professional-looking. Website design is incredibly important, both in terms of aesthetics and ease of use.

So, for my money, which would I choose – a web template and design my own web site, or choose a professional and pay for their services? I think it really goes without saying – my website has to make me money so I would choose to use the expertise of a professional Web Designer who knows what they are doing and who can provide me with a website that does exactly what I want it to do – bring me customers and for potential customers to gain a first impression of professionalism and efficiency.

Blogs, or to be more precise, Weblogs can be used to make money from your website: a good, well-written blog can keep visitors rooted to your website long enough for some of the actual content of your site to filter through to them. In fact, they could become so absorbed in what you have written in your blog that they return again and again – just to keep up-to-date with the latest activities you are writing about in your blog. A blog, used to advantage can make all the difference to your personal website.

Your blog doesn’t even need to be specifically relevant to your website: I used to write a blog just to blow off steam over various current affairs. One of the blogs I wrote really got certain quarters hot under the collar. So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of including a blog in your website?

Basically, a blog is a narrative that you can add to your website in its original, unedited format – grammatical and spelling mistakes et al!

Advantages of Including a Blog

If you are writing a blog yourself, you will know how easy it is to update the information. This can only be an advantage to the business owner who needs to disseminate information about the business as quickly as possible. Many blogs, due to their informal nature, do tend to be quite far-reaching and often get talked about informally. This is an amazing advantage for the owner of a business.

Lucrative traffic can be driven to your website by dropping a few links into your blog. Human nature being what it is, if people see a link there, they just have to find out where it goes and what it says:  one of my most lucrative links that I used on my blogs was just a little button that said ‘Do Not Press’. Of course, everybody simply had to press it [which is what I wanted them to do]!

Disadvantages of Including a Blog

Unreal expectations of visitors can have a devastating effect on you, as the website owner, if your visitors are expecting a frequent update of your business blog. If you are running a business there are invariably other calls on your valuable time and, fitting a daily blog into your busy day may end up as quite a burden unless you outsource your blog and let somebody else take care of it for you.

You need to be more careful about what you have to say in your blog than you would if you were writing a personal blog. Because you are the face of the business your visitors will be hanging onto your every word so you do need to be careful about the tone of your blog and make sure your comments are not unwittingly misconstrued.

While there are many disadvantages of writing a business-related blog is in letting your pen run away with you and to give away too much information. The best advice I can give on this particular spot is ‘cover your back: don’t give away anything that could be turned to your disadvantage’. In other words, be careful what you write.
