50 yrs from now who will care?
When you think you are indispensible and think you're so important today, stick your finger
in a bucket of water pull it out and see how big a hole it makes? How important are we to anyone today?
What kind of impact have we made to each other or to the world around us? One generation grows and reaches its zenith then is replaced by another. Sports stars no doubt recognise this alot. Pop stars movie stars even the leaders of the world eventually fade into the mist of forgetfulness.
If you are a nobody a Jane or Joe average the only impact you might make is immediate family and a few friends. Yet, even the smallest contribution could make a difference in someone's life. It boils down since most of us are middle aged and maybe only have about 30 yrs left to shine until
we go gently into that good nite the question is how do we want to spend that time? I know for me writing useless blogs here and offering my two cents is not so rewarding. Perhaps its the audience or the subject matter? How knows? 50 yrs from now assuming I live for another 20 some odd years and if this site is still active or we have not ruined ourselves with nukes it would be interesting to know if all this bs we write will have an impact to teach the generation after us.
Time waits for no one and it matters not how rich or poor smart or stupid we are it catches up to us and we all will be returning to the dust we came from.
Most of our markers like the millions who passed before us since the dawn of time will not have much to say but that we were here. We may not be considered as vain as the pharoahs of Egypt but we often we seek recognition for something.
The key is doing something worthy of recoginition without seeking it. Being humble giving respect
when properly due offering healing and compassion and the love we recieve should be measured by the love we give.
Consider all thought and action reach to the heavens and I would like to believe there are angels
everywhere here on earth and in heaven and even on CS observing and learning and guiding us to our greatest potential. If we want to make an impact 50 yrs from now that may reshape humanity later start impacting now. Make it count today for tomortow is not guaranteed.
We can ask who will care later for today is all we have but do consider what you say or do today will shape the perception of the generation after. How do we want to be remembered by the generation after?

!Cuba!
Commonly called the Archipelago of the Sea of ??the Antilles also known as "The hot land" (Because of its climate), or the Caribbean Sea, all this due to its original geographical position at the entrance to the Gulf of Mexico, which was also dominated "The key to the gulf." Due to its characteristics, it is the largest island in the Greater Antilles. The closest countries are Haiti, the Bahamas, the United States, Jamaica and Mexico.
Its climate surprisingly is the delight of thousands of tourists, especially in Europe as it is a very tropical country. The climate is warm, temperatures vary, this makes people who constantly flee the cold weather find a paradise in Cuba. In addition to its cultural variety which is very qualifying for the human ear. His music is composed of 70 genres, which has made the country "La Isla musical" among these is El Mambo, El Son, El Cha cha chá. These rhythms have touched the hearts of many and have reached the last corner of the Earth. Those who have listened for the first time to the sonar of the mix originated by a tumbadora, the guitar and the bass, that their feet do not stop moving, is an influential music, happy and with a lot of energy. Some tourists have been so shocked that they have gone into learning some instruments like the tumbadora. Is that some tourists only come to Cuba to receive private classes of * Casino or Salsa * which is a very popular dance in Cuba.Cuba is one of the countries with the lowest salaries in Latin America, its large sector within natural resources, are widely controlled by the Government, and most of its economy is directed to Education and Public Health, for this reason Health and Education are free.Cayman Island as many writers have named it by its typology on the map, has two types of coins: The CUP and The CUC.The CUP is the currency that legally identifies the Republic, is what is normally used for legal procedures within the country and some edible products, or miscellaneous that are intended for this type of currency. This is divided into 100 units called cents. The Cuban peso is not useful for certain purchases, nor certain types of products, or procedures on the island or in certain stores unlike the convertible peso (CUC), which has a rate similar to the dollar American. Product to the political problems between the United States and Cuba, the Cuban convertible peso applies a measure against the US dollar at a 1: 1 exchange rate, plus a 10% exchange tax. Also, the bank commission keeps 2%. In short, for each dollar changed, it loses 12% of its value.The CUC or convertible peso is created in order to facilitate currency transactions with a magnificent and unique monetary character. The convertible peso in these moments is the almost main currency for the majorities of procedures of international scope, also it is used in the shopping areas of currencies where food products, clothes, electrical equipment, electronic are acquired. (electronic or electrical equipment can only be found in forex shopping, as well as miscellany of medium quality) something that becomes complicated and difficult for the Cuban people, and besides having extremely low salaries, the pay of state jobs is in CUP (Cuban pesos).
1 CUC = 25 CUP
1 USD = 0.80 cents CUC
1 EUR = 1,367 CUC
The Cuban idiosyncrasy is totally unique, the Cuban is a sociable, hard-working, and enterprising human being.

Do you want to come to Cuba and know its culture?

Whats your favorite part of Christmas?
As the hustle and bustle of the festive season approaches, I ve noticed alot of friends , and family have different parts of the season they enjoy. I know friends who enjoy giving to the less fortunate, and I have some friends who enjoy the family gatherings. And we all know someone who couldn t be bothered getting into the Christmas spirit,
Myself I enjoy seeing people ,whether it be out shopping , or chatting with a neighbor in good spirits,
And oh yes I am rather fond of the christmas baking, and who doesn t love the look in the eye of a little one, when Santa Claus is mentioned
Whats your favorite part of the Christmas season,

Fair taxation.
Y'all know, we see some folks who like to toss around the terms like racist, or fascist or homophobe---often without justification, and even without understanding the full meaning of such terms. Such behavior gives chronically insecure types a warm and fuzzy feeling of moral superiority over others they consider knuckle dragging dummies. And so it is with their views of the payment of taxes by the wealthy. Again, often with little data, we hear such and such a tax plan only benefits the wealthy, or that the rich don't pay their share. Interesting, the pols who say these things themselves usually came to the government jobs with money, and the 180 or so large pay they get, not to mention the best health care and pensions none of us could dream of, don't hurt. But here's the surprising fact. While the lowest 50% of wage earners pay almost NO federal tax, the top 1% (that's one percent, folks) of income groups pay a ful 28% of federal taxation confiscatory dollars. Look it up. VKH-Aa.
A Bad Start
When I saw the mess on the pavement I sighed. It is garbage day and my brother-in-law took the dustbin out when he went to work this morning. The bin was on its side and the contents were strewn over the place; luckily mostly in smaller plastic shopping bags, but they were all torn and some of the contents were spilled out.
Among others, a larger bin liner that was filled with old clothes that I had discarded during the week. Most were pulled out through the gaping hole in the side. Bloody dogs, I muttered as I started collecting the clothes.
“I hope you plan to clean up this mess when you’re done,” the voice said behind me. She had a terrible accent. I once met an English couple who spoke like that. They came from Yorkshire. I was pissed off and she did not improve my mood. I ignored her while I carried on with my menial task.
“My friend told me to look out for you vagrants raiding the dustbins and making a mess.” I still kept quiet, hoping she would go away. She disappointed me. “You South-Africans are very messy. I’m from England.”
“Yorkshire?” I asked, but more like a statement than a question.
“Yes, how did you know?” I almost told her I’m psychic but checked myself just in time. It would just have opened another topic for discussion.
“An educated guess”, I said while I righted the dustbin and started putting the bags back in the bin. For the first time I looked at her and wondered why she mistook me for a homeless person.
She was a rather plain Jane and in my slightly faded blue jeans, blue & white striped golf shirt and blue Nikes, I was certainly better dressed than her. My hair was neat; I only had it trimmed yesterday and I was cleanly shaved. Maybe I wore too much blue to her liking. I wondered if she would approve of my red underpants as I opened the gate to go back inside.
“Hey, where are you going?” she asked.
“I live here, do you mind?”
“Is it your house?”
No”, I said. At least that part was true. “The house belongs to an eccentric millionaire and I’m looking after it while he is abroad.”
“They say these eccentric millionaires are very stingy and they dress shabbily. Does he pay you to look after his house?”
“No, but he said that I may wear his clothes while he’s not here.” I don’t even feel guilty about all the lies. My brother-in-law is not a millionaire, he is not abroad and his clothes will be much too large for me.
She stared at me for a few seconds, probably trying to figure if I was serious. “You know, sarcasm won’t get you anywhere”, she said.
“True, but then I was not going anywhere. I’m not dressed for it.”
“Oh!! You are such an a**hole!” she said as she wheeled around on the one heel and sauntered across the road. Only then I noticed what a sexy a** she has. As she entered the granny flat across the road I realized that she was my neighbor's new tenant. Not a good start at all.
