Noisy Thinking

This comic is dedicated to MIR

Déjà vu or “already seen”; also called paramnesia meaning “near memory”, is the experience of feeling sure that one has experienced a new situation previously (a person feels as though an event has already happened or has repeated itself). The experience of déjà vu is usually accompanied by a convincing sense of familiarity, and also a sense of weirdness. The “previous” experience is most frequently recognized as a dream, although in some cases there is a firm sense that the experience “genuinely happened” in the past.

There are different types of déjà vu: Déjà vécu (already lived), Déjà senti (already felt), and Déjà visité (already visited):

Déjà vécu

Déjà vécu refers to an experience concerning more than just a vision, which is why classifying such “déjà vu” is usually inaccurate. The sense involves a great amount of detail, sensing that everything is just as it was before and a weird knowledge of what is going to be said or happen next.

Déjà senti

This experience specifies something ‘already felt.’ Unlike the indirect precognition of déjà vécu, déjà senti is primarily or even exclusively a mental happening, has no precognitive aspects, and rarely if ever remains in the afflicted person’s memory afterwards.

Déjà visité

This experience is less common and involves a weird knowledge of a new place. The translation is “already visited.” Here one may know his or her way around in a new town or location while at the same time knowing that this should not be possible.

In order to distinguish déjà visité from déjà vécu, it is important to identify the source of the feeling. Déjà vécu is in reference to the temporal occurrences and processes, while déjà visité has more to do with geography and spatial relations.

There are still a lot of questions of how this could happen, but be sure that this is not happening to you only, but everyone is experiencing these phenomena. So if you feel that you have been there or felt this or lived a certain situation, be sure that it is better to know where you stand rather than not knowing it at all .

So lets joke about it with this comic animation:

I have been recently facing a lot of situations that include girls’ stupidity. I am not saying that all girls are stupid at the contrary. But some are really so stupid.

I am not able to describe all the situations that i faced and the annoyance that i am feeling now but i will let “PINK” to sing it for us through an animated video.

HIT IT …

Hairstyles are like stars in the sky;

No one knows exactly how many there are! It may sound funny, but it is actually pretty true. There seems to be a hair style for every type, texture, and color of hair, for every occasion and for every personality including who choose for letting a professional work his/her magic and those who prefer to experiment in their own bathrooms. It is amazing what can be done with hair. It is so versatile to work with and anything that is done to your hair in terms of styling can be undone and even if it may take a few months the significance here is that it is not permanent, which is probably the reason that people experiment so much.
Every one has his/her taste and view of what they would like to look. But some people take it to the extreme. I mean from my humble opinion some are so hideous and weird. And I can’t believe how they would like it.

I have seen several times guys and girls in malls that they have done their hair in bizarre ways that it is so repulsive… at least for me and for my friends. I also found one day that they have done a facebook account and they placed their pictures there. They are actually praising themselves and cheering others.

Well as they say : “everyone has his own taste”.

I displayed some of the following pictures that I found really creepy and you are free to visit their account: the group is called: Hair Zone.
Enjoy…the weirdness. (With respect to everyone)

Before talking to your boss about the necessity of you having a raise, you have to think logically about your situation in your company.

1. Pose a Question to Yourself if You Really Deserve a Raise: Have you succeed in impressing your boss by solving an important and crucial problem for the company? Have you taken on extra job responsibilities or succeeded in bringing in valuable opportunities to your company? Have you met or exceeded your employer’s expectations?
2. Don’t Mix Effort with Achievement: Just because you’ve been working long hours after work and ignoring that precious work-life division, doesn’t mean you automatically earn a raise. Raises are usually based on meeting or exceeding certain objectives, not only on how much you care about a job or how much you feel you’ve sacrificed. You can have all the heart in the world, but if you don’t meet your employer’s targets, it’s not going to result in a raise.
3. Understand Your Boss’ Point of View: It’s vital to comprehend your place in the system of things and your company’s attitude towards staff turn-over, retention and recruitment. Would you be easy to replace with someone who would require a smaller salary? How much of a budget does your superior have to work with when it comes to salaries and operating costs? Does your boss actually have the authority to give you a raise, or will he or she have to justify it to the higher-ups?
4. Do a Salary Comparison: Find out how your present income compares to other employees with similar jobs and same company volume.
5. Account for Your Achievements: It’s nobody’s job but your own to write your office accomplishments. Write down how you’ve met and exceeded your employer’s expectations. Assign numbers to those achievements as often as you can. What have you contributed to your company’s bottom line?
6. Craft a Memo: Now that you have all this proof of your awesomeness and how much you quantifiably deserve a raise, put it all together in a well-crafted, professional presentation to hand it to your boss during negotiations.
7. Settle on a Precise Number: While there’s some debate as to whether you should give your boss a number first or let him or her initiate the money talk, you should definitely have a specific figure in mind.
8. Have Alternatives: If your boss is not in the position to offer you a cash raise, be ready to throw out some alternative means of compensation. Could you work a four-day work week? What about extra vacation time or a performance-based bonus?
9. Give to Get: One of the most successful strategies in getting a raise is essentially asking for a promotion. If you’re willing to expand your responsibilities in return for greater compensation, both you and your boss may come out of the negotiation with something you want.
10. During a Performance Review: The appropriate time to ask for a raise in your workplace may be during your annual or semi-annual performance review, particularly if you know that you are going to receive a good review. If you’re uncertain about how the review will go, hold off on asking for a raise. Instead, use the review as an opportunity to set specific goals with your manager about what might qualify you for a raise the next time around. Read more…

How to be a Better Husband

1) Take an interest in something your wife is really passionate about.
This can be especially though for guys, because we generally feel that if someone else has interests that differ from ours, they’re morons. It’s not an easy task, and being able to show interest in something that matters to someone you love shows growth- and that’s terrifying. Good, but terrifying. Accomplish this and you’ll make her feel better about herself, and you get better insight into what makes her tick.

2 ) Put the kids to bed.
Once a week give her the night off and put the kids to bed by yourself. Let her take a hot bath, read a book, or check gossip on the Web and forget about the kids. It ranks somewhere between low-end jewelry and a fantasy vacation.

3 ) Learn to apologize.
This is the easiest one, and the hardest one. A marriage is a marathon, and we all fly off the handle too quick or let our temper get the best of us sometimes. When you’re wrong, it’s best to step up and apologize. It’s amazing how fast “I’m sorry” can defuse a stupid argument about something you can’t even remember.

4 ) Thank her for putting up with you.
Every once in a while, just thank her for putting up with you. That’s all you have to say. Don’t launch into a list of your faults. Just thank her, and let her know that you understand that you’re not the easiest person in the world to live with. Read more…

I am a Lebanese Citizen living in Beirut. Due to the current events, I feel saddened by the fact that my country is failing to live in peace and harmony. Lebanon is a beautiful country from its cultural and historical view. All people around the world come to see this country and visit its sites and enjoy their vacations.

The country enjoyed at some times a period of relative calm and prosperity, driven by the tourism, agriculture, and banking sectors of the economy. It is considered the banking capital of the Levant and was widely known as the “Switzerland of the East” due to its financial power. Lebanon also attracted large numbers of tourists to the point that the capital Beirut became widely referred to as the “Paris of Western Asia.”

All this success disappeared with these conflicts, and the lack of security in most of the regions that has created a bad image for Lebanon. But with everything happening, tourists came back every time and enjoyed its beauty.

I pity today the nation that destroys its country, and takes violence for a solution. We have been in war for more than 30 years and we are still facing problems.

I wish my country live in peace and harmony, so we can succeed in the development of our nation and not for destroying it.

I pray for every person who died and for every person who lives.

Please give Peace a Chance - LEBANON

Some of us like to have a pet, such as a cat, a dog, a rabbit or even a hamster. So we find it a pleasure to take care of our new friend, by bathing it, walking it, playing with it and most importantly, FEEDING IT. We find a pleasure in feeding this creature, the best food, the tastiest and the fattest food we can find.

But in some cases our fuzzy pet becomes fat. It becomes fat until it can’t move, until we can’t hold it, until it becomes an overweighted burden animal.

For that if your pet looks pregnant (and you know this isn’t the case), he’s fat. When you rub your hands over your pet’s ribs, the skin should move easily back and forth and you should be able to feel the ribs. If not, your pet is probably overweight.

Luckily, it’s a lot easier to slim down your pets than it is to slim down yourself! After all, pets aren’t concerned with will power. What and when they eat is fully dependent on the impulse of their owner. Furthermore, pets don’t flinch at the idea of exercise. To them, it’s all fun and games! Dogs are always up for a walk or a game of fetch. Cats, on the other hand, can be engaged with toys they can chase (a little cat nip may boost activity, too). The bottom line is this: pets love to move, especially if you’re moving with them.

So let’s see how BIG your pet can get :

Men Are Hard To Please

The problems with GUYS:

If you TREAT him nicely, he says u are IN LOVE with him;
If you Don’t, he says you are PROUD.
If you DRESS Nicely, he says you are trying to LURE him;
If you Don’t, he says you are from KURDISTAN .
If you ARGUE with him, he says you are STUBBORN;
If you keep QUIET, he says you have no BRAINS.
If you are SMARTER than him, he’ll lose FACE;

If you don’t Love him, he tries to POSSESS you;
If you Love him, he will try to LEAVE you. Read more…
