Land Below The WindInborn Nature + Culture = GLBTQ Experience 08 July FAREWELL LETTER FROM A GENIUSFAREWELL LETTER FROM A GENIUS Gabriel Garcia Marquez, famous writer from Colombia, and Nobel Peace prize winner for literature, has retired from public life for reasons of health. He has a form of cancer which is terminal. He has sent a farewell letter to his friends and it has been circulated around the Internet. A GENIUS SAYS GOODBYE FOR GOOD It is recommended reading because it is moving to see how one of the best and most brilliant of writers expresses himself & with sorrow. He says: If God, for a second, forgot what I have become and granted me a little bit more of life, I would use it to the best of my ability. I wouldn't possibly, say everything that is in my mind, but I would be more thoughtful of all I say. I would give merit to things not for what they are worth, but for what they mean to express. I would sleep little, I would dream more, because I know that for every minute that we close our eyes, we waste 60 seconds of light. I would walk while others stop; I would awake while others sleep. If God would give me a little bit more of life, I would dress in a simple manner, I would place myself in front of the sun, leaving not only my body, but my soul naked at its mercy. To all men I would say how mistaken they are when they think that they stop falling in love when they grow old, without knowing that they grow old when they stop falling in love. I would give wings to children, but I would leave it to them to learn how to fly by themselves. To old people I would say that death doesn't arrive when they grow old, but with forgetfulness. I have learned so much with you all, I have learned that everybody wants to live on top of the mountain, without knowing that true happiness is obtained in the journey taken & the form used to reach the top of the hill. I have learned that when a newborn baby holds, with its little hand, his father's finger, it has trapped him for the rest of his life. I have learned that a man has the right and obligation to look down at another man, only when that man needs help to get up from the ground. Say always what you feel, not what you think. If I knew that today is the last time that that I am going to see you asleep, I would hug you with all my strength and I would pray to the Lord to let me be the guardian angel of your soul. If I knew that these are the last moments to see you, I would say "I love you". There is always tomorrow, and life gives us another opportunity to do things right, but in case I am wrong, and today is all that is left to me, I would love to tell you how much I love you & that I will never forget you. Tomorrow is never guaranteed to anyone, young or old. Today could be the last time to see your loved ones, which is why you mustn't wait; do it today, in case tomorrow never arrives. I am sure you will be sorry you wasted the opportunity today to give a smile, a hug, a kiss, and that you were too busy to grant them their last wish. Keep your loved ones near you; tell them in their ears and to their faces how much you need them and love them. Love them and treat them well; take your time to tell them "I am sorry";" forgive me"," please" "thank you", and all those loving words you know. Nobody will know you for your secret thought. Ask the Lord for wisdom and strength to express them. Show your friends and loved ones how important they are to you. Send this letter to those you love. If you don't do it today...tomorrow will be like yesterday, and if you never do it, it doesn't matter, either, the moment to do it is now. For you, With much love, Your Friend, Gabriel Garcia Marquez 21 May Jalan BB Story....A Sikh man is walking along Jalan Bukit Bintang, in Kuala Lumpur one night and a very gorgeous girl catches his eye.

Women: The Secret Of Happy MarriageOnce upon a time a married couple celebrated their 25 th marriage anniversary. They had become famous in the city for not having a single conflict in their period of 25 years. Local newspaper editors had gathered at the occasion to find out the secret of their well known "happy going marriage". Editor: " Sir. It's amazingly unbelievable. How did you make this possible? " Husband recalling his old honeymoon days said: " We had been to Shimla for honeymoon after marriage. Having selected the horse riding finally, we both started the ride on different horses. My horse was pretty okay but the horse on which my wife was riding seemed to be a crazy one. On the way ahead, that horse jumped suddenly, making my wife topple over. Recovering her position from the ground, she patted the horse's back and said " This is your first time ". She again climbed the horse and continued with the ride. After a while, it happened again. This time she again kept calm and said " This is your second time " and continued. When the horse dropped her third time, she silently took out the revolver from the purse and shot the horse dead !! I shouted at my wife: " What did you do you psycho. You killed the poor animal. Are you crazy ?". She gave a silent look and said: " This is your first time!!! ". " Husband: "That's it. We are happily married ever after. " 20 December Interesting......A man feared his wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem. The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss. Here's what you do," said the Doctor, "stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response." That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the den. He says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens." Then in a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?" No response. So the husband moves to closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, "Honey, what's for dinner?" Still no response. Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks, Honey, what's for dinner?" Again he gets no response so, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for dinner?" Again there is no response. So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for dinner?" ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; "James, for the FIFTH time I've said, CHICKEN!" Moral of the story: The problem may not be with the other one as we always think, could be very much within us..! 28 July What is WIFE mean to you?For those who are married !!!

12 March Murphy LawIt is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first. Every solution breeds new problems You can never tell which way the train went by looking at the track. Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence All great discoveries are made by mistake. A meeting is an event at which the minutes are kept and the hours are lost. Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. And scratch where it itches The only perfect science is hind-sight. Work smarder and not harder and be careful of yor speling. When all else fails, read the instructions. Build a system that even a fool can use and only a fool will want to use it. The qualities that most attract a woman to a man are usually the same ones she can't stand years later. Love your neighbor, but don't get caught. Sex is a three-letter word which needs some old-fashioned four-letter words to convey its full meaning. You cannot produce a baby in one month by impregnating nine women. Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. No matter how many times you've had it, if it's offered take it, because it'll never be quite the same again. Sex has no calories. Sex takes up the least amount of time and causes the most amount of trouble. There is no remedy for sex but more sex. Sex appeal is 50% what you've got and 50% what people think you've got. If you have to ask, you're not entitled to know. If you don't like the answer, you shouldn't have asked the question. When working toward the solution of a problem, it always helps if you know the answer. A memorandum is written not to inform the reader but to protect the writer The sum of the intelligence on the planet is a constant; the population is growing. Never argue with a fool. People might not know the difference The only imperfect thing in nature is the human race If it can break, it will, but only after the warranty expires. When someone you greatly admire and respect appears to be thinking deep thoughts, they are probably thinking about lunch. In God we trust; all others pay cash If it jams, force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway There is a solution to every problem; the only difficulty is finding it. 06 March Princess Melt Once upon a time there lived a king. Anything she touched would melt. Question: What was in the prince's pants?
