Leaving Microsoft to Change the World

By John Wood. The full title is long I just wrote the first part. Choose one or the other. For me, when I think about the book it is, "That Room to Read Book" or "John Wood's book.'' It is his first published book.

A thousand words

They say a picture can paint a thousand words but for me there are a lot of things were pictures or the thousand words are just not enough. I would really like it if someday I could see this site for myself.

About

Life is for living.

This blog is where I share my thoughts about things life. This includes books, music, films, everyday things and everything in between.

When I have not forgotten my camera at home I like to take a few photos or be random which you can find at my Tumblr Blog. You can also find me on Facebook and Twitter.

I kind of wanted to come up with a closing catch phrase like 'Keep on living' or 'Live for life'.

In the end I figured it's way too much effort. Life is for living and I'll leave it at that.

The Man I Love

Today I just thought to share the lyrics of this song by Ella Fitzgerald. Sometimes waiting pays off. Right? If you are waiting at the right place? Sometimes........

Haru no Ame (Minami Maki)

I thought to do a special review for a manga I came across. Really sweet, left me laughing so hard and thinking where has all that innocence gone today? Haru no Ame by Minami Maki.

Paperman

This is a short Disney animation. It tells a story about love. Sweet and too short in my opinion would love to see more of them.

Oh Darling do behave!

By Tania Materazzo Rann. I was just browsing a book store on my lunch break looking for a bit of a different read when I came across this one.

What I liked first about it was the statement 'MANNERS - the ultimate fashion accessory' on the front. I agree. I am sure if I asked people what they thought the ultimate accessory was, manners would not be on the list or may be the very last feature. No matter how stunning you look or think you are, lacking in common courtesy distracts from it all. So i decided to give it a go. It looked like a short and fun read.

Black Beauty

A timeless classic. Black Beauty by Anna Sewell. I have read this book over and over.The first being a library copy a green hard cover book ages ago. I thought interesting that it should have a black cover instead. It is written in simple and clear language.

Over the years from when it was originally published in 1877 it has come in many different covers with different kinds of illustrations to it. However the story remains the same. From Black Beauty's point of view it tells of different characters he met both people and animals alike. It tells of the many life lessons he gained from all the experiences and there is a happy ending for him though the same can not be said for some he came across in his life journey.
