'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.

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...

Lampard Outclassed the Master: Chelsea dealt Spurs two goals to Nil

Chelsea took the bulling Spurs by the horns: no cautiousness but direct attack. Mourinho was defeated. Chelsea guys didnt come with a respect for the master but they were all brimming to establish dominance which they did. Rudiger was a no-nonsense man, manning the defense. Zouma still un-fooballer-like but always decent.Tomori, your model footballer, tidy through the game. Kovacic was silent but stringing passes. Kante was a beast that made me imagined a combo of him with a De Bruyne in a midfield will be almost unbeatable. While Abraham and Mount were decent, William was the Marshall that Spurs couldnt handle. His every touch weakened the Spurs defense. He got the first goal and converted the other. The game was all blue and Spurs were all kung-fu fighting. Son got a red card. The goalie a yellow. Welcome back to Premier League, Mourinho. --toonday

DECLUTTERING AND DEATH CLEANING:THE LIVING AND THE KINDNESS IN OUR DYING

Living is a quadratic equation with a pre-determined answer (death) yet we keep trying to solve the equation. Year 2017 gave a fair share of answers to many lives. From international, national, to local personalities, lives were lost. To us, at first it appeared a distant reality until someone close to us succumbed to that harsh reality. To the young, it's a distant rumor. To the old, constant topic heavily brooded. If living is an act of dying, how can we then be gracious in dying? I came across this term: death cleaning and alas it's the much needed answer. How we can shroud in our living (dying) the preparatory kindness that can live after us and make neighbors happy? Every breathing being will one day taste death. No amount of science, or achievement, or bitterness or super-humanness can change that. If so, won't we live in all preparation for the constant exit? Death cleaning is a Swedish term that describes a conscious and deliberate preparation for death...
