'The Way You Dress is the Way You will be Addressed'


Basically, this truism refers to people meeting for the first time. Human minds try at first acquaintance to situate friends to a particular stratum in their perceived society through apparel, speech, gaiety, smell and other noticeable features before further familiarity will unravel those assumptions wrong or right. 

But really, does a 'gallas' hair-cut make the person a 'yahoo-boy'? Does wearing 'jalamia' with beard make some one holy? Infidelity is not in mini-skirts and fidelity may not necessarily reside in macro either,  but the errant and frequent visitation to the temple they guide. Thus, when those assumptions are wrong, we say "appearance can be misleading" whereas (in fact) it's our prejudiced mind that is myopic in judging.

At a time we are accidentally right, another truism comes to mind: your speech not only appearance is your acute advert or portent disservice. Anyway, for a person that understands that life is a service, you will position yourself for how you want to be perceived and addressed. Not everyone will have a chance, after that first acquaintance, to interact further. You may have only one appearance to convince or confuse that person for life. Therefore armed with the psychology of perception, attraction and people's rigid myopic-ness, I do rather dress the way I want to be addressed.

The shortfall:  the encumbrance: the lacuna is that our minds judge based on our 5ive senses. Look good, smell nice, feel good, taste nice, sound appealing, you will be a good sale. Same goes for any kind of market.

Weekend of the Champs and Cramps

Champs do the winning and the cramps give us whining. Champs get the points and the cramps the pains. Liverpool started the weekend like a proper champ that they are. Sallah like the coming festival stood out in the game with two solid goals. The champ of the encounter, Bournemouth burned Chelsea with a lone goal. Is Lampard's ride changing fortune? No winning is permanent, obviously. Manchester United was saved by Greenwood. While one youngster was instrumental to his team's performance, another one ( Moise Kean) that entered as a sub was later subbed off because he looked knackered. Champs and Cramps. Be and the Wannabes! Talking of the Champs and Cramps, Gunners were gunned down. Decimated beyond reparation in the first half. De Bruyne ricocheting shot couldn't be stopped resulting into the first goal and Sterling stellar placement was also conceded, second goal. The third was still De Bruyne ruining the Gunners with a curvy shot that beat the defenders wi...

Brentford Beat Blundering Gunner Two Goal To Nil

  The start of EPL came with Arteta still unable to  fumble out of his not-too-convincing career in Arsenal. Brentford came roaring from relegation to beat Arsenal who dream of getting to top four this season. But like their pre-season, a miscarriage of dreams, they fell a goal behind to Brentford through Canos super strike. From that moment forward, Brentford became the Bully, created more chances and Arsenal passed sideways as if the goal post was at the corner flag. Anyways, White white-out on the field, the presence of 50 million bargain wasn't felt. Mari was too casual for a defender. Tierney will soon burn out. Chambers tried his chambers-efforts. Upfront Balogun was starved of direct passes. Pepe will never pepper any defender except when he is in luck. The dude cannot be consistent except he sees a man-manager. Smith is a ball-smith but combined with Xhaka sideways and momentary slip & sleep off, Smith Rowe just rowing to a fruitless breeze. Martinelli needs to man...

Liverpool Laundered Chelsea 2-0

  Lampard's League of Assassins became the victim and were turned into whiff when they met King Klopp's Coven of Wizards. Mane mane-handled them, scoring a brace. Klopp's magic wand turned Timo Werner to Timo Waster. Havertz became Harvard without a degree. Kante could not count any goal. Kepa also was no keeper. Chelsea became ChelShit: as all turned messy.  The game actually started as if Chelsea would be in control for a longer time. Werner squandered two good chances, though his movements were always threatening.  But the real story unveiled after 40+ minutes into the game. Mane got Christensen to foul him. Red card for CB.  The game became only Liverpool's. Magic Mane later got the first goal and also the second which was gifted by Kepa unkempt pass. Jorginho kept jogging but not creating. Zouma tried his best and Tomori as sub was not timorous but the scoreline wasnt palatable.  Lampard has a lot to fix. But he has another league o...
