Worlds could be clouds We, the space between vapors Transient as wind Mere wraiths And yet We are the lightening The power of impermanence The heat of the sun in a breath In a lifetime Over in a flash     Possibly related posts: (automatically generated)Impermanence of Being (an Ode to Keats)Hang

With such a high divorce rate in our country, there are a staggering number of middle-aged men and women searching in the populace for a mate again. Whether married or single, there’s also increasing pressure to look youthful and attractive in order to get ahead in the workplace.

Have you ever longed for fairer, brighter skin? Strange isn\’t it? How some very fair ladies feel they look sickly and bask in the sun for a so called healthy tan.

Uh, so is this cat bad or what? Michael Phelps is back here chillin’ and evidently has passed the torch to a Bolt of lightening. Usain Bolt and his Jamaican teammates ran a 37.10 relay–which is 30 hundredths of a second off the world record the US set in 1992.
