A Poem
Vergissmeinnicht
~ Keith Douglas
Three weeks gone and the combatants gone returning over the nightmare ground we found the place again, and found the soldier sprawling in the sun. The frowning barrel of his gun overshadowing. As we came on that day, he hit my tank with one like the entry of a demon. Look. Here in the gunpit spoil the dishonoured picture of his girl who has put: Steffi....

A great new place for clothes. Honorable mention: Trands - curiously the suits from this maker are preferred by both Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. Their stock is up almost 229% after Buffet’s complimentary words. Interesting.

an idea for a blog
Imaginary Votes. This idea struck me. Suffrage is denied to foreign nationals in the U.S., hence imaginary for us. Yet the American politics is so vibrant and so idiosyncratic to simply settle as a spectator. Therefore, IV shall be a blog where non-U.S. citizen authors get to comment on American politics and, when appropriate, cast their individual votes to candidates and resolutions. IV shall be...

Understand why you are starting your own business –Figure out why you want your own business and write it down so that you can stay on track. The happiest people I’ve met are those who not only achieved their goals, but realized they achieved them and then took the time to enjoy their success. Starting your own company is giving everything you have for possibly years on end with no guarantee of...

Theme for my blog
The theme for this is “Litewire.” I need to remember this. I just changed it to another one and I had to look for the theme to change back. Actually, “Free Weekend” is not bad, if the colours are not as horrendous.
