It’s Not My Fault… Ironically enough I actually had my ass handed to me, during a few rounds of Fruit Ninja, by my rotund friend at Intervention the weekend before last. Personally, I do not own a Kinect. Nothing so far about this peripheral has screamed “must have” for me yet. Fruit Ninja did come close, but I don’t feel that’s reason enough to drop $120+ on the device. I know there’s a lot more excuses people claim for why they lost. 36 of My Favorite Silly, Crazy or Funny Quotes For the Day - MiscFinds4u.com | MiscFinds4u.com Source: Uploaded by user via Princess Source: Uploaded by user via Princess Source: patinastores.com via Princess Source: lesleyvmartinez.tumblr.com via Princess Source: weheartit.com via Irene Source: lgalaviz.blogspot.com via Tammy< Source: imgfave.com via Carla Source: google.com via Sarah Source: weheartit.com via Soraya Source: google.com via Suzanne Source: Uploaded by user via Erin Source: img.izismile.com via Suzanne Source: etsy.com via Glenda Source: wtf.funnyjokesgalore.com via Katie Source: google.com via Flower Source: gorgeoustakethecity.tumblr.com via Laurie Source: stumbleupon.com via Jj Source: thepoke.co.uk via Jessi Source: weheartit.com via Rachel Source: bluntcard.com via Blair Source: google.com via Katie Source: thechive.com via Lauren Source: Uploaded by user via Caleb Source: google.com via Lynn Source: google.com.ph via doinks Source: google.com via Jordan Source: picsthatdontsuck.com via Sabri Source: sooking.me via Sooking.me Source: animalcapshunz.ican hascheezburger.com via Leo Connie

The 48 Laws of Power Background[edit] Greene initially formulated some of the ideas in The 48 Laws of Power while working as a writer in Hollywood and concluding that today's power elite shared similar traits with powerful figures throughout history.[5] In 1995, Greene worked as a writer at Fabrica, an art and media school, and met a book packager named Joost Elffers.[4][8] Greene pitched a book about power to Elffers and six months later, Elffers requested that Greene write a treatment.[4] Although Greene was unhappy in his current job, he was comfortable and saw the time needed to write a proper book proposal as too risky.[10] However, at the time Greene was rereading his favorite biography about Julius Caesar and took inspiration from Caesar's decision to cross the Rubicon River and fight Pompey, thus inciting the Great Roman Civil War.[10] Greene would follow Caesar's example and write the treatment, which later became The 48 Laws of Power.[10] He would note this as the turning point of his life.[10]

Welcome to Adobe GoLive 6 From Los Angeles Times: It's not all about you Chances are, others aren't judging you as harshly as you think, if at all. By Benedict Carey Times Staff Writer January 13, 2003 Oh, things sure took a bad turn. Take a deep breath. A growing body of research shows that far fewer people notice our gaffes than we believe as we pace the floor in private, going over and over the faux pas. Learning to recognize this self-deception can soothe the anxiety that surrounds social interactions. The spotlight effect blinds us in several ways. A pioneer in this field, Tom Gilovich, a psychologist at Cornell, has demonstrated the same exaggerated misperceptions in several situations, such as group discussions about social issues. The findings apply to most of us, of course, but not to everybody -- some people really do live under a microscope, as a chosen way of life. Most of the time a mistake is just a mistake, not a death sentence. Yet we don't expect that same empathy for ourselves.
