I was at my bank today; there was a short line. There was just one lady in front of me, an Asian lady who was trying to exchange yen for dollars. It was obvious she was a little irritated.
She asked the teller, "Why it change? Yesterday, I get two hunat dolla fo yen. Today I only get hunat eighty? Why it change?"
The teller shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fluctuations."
Manny Pacquiao training on the mitts with veteran trainer Freddie Roach. Manny is getting ready for Joshua Clottey for their bout on Saturday, March 13. It will be televised on HBO PPV.
A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat.
A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"
The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way."
I wrote: "Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it."
Both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people that they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.
When life gives you 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle the present with confidence and prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.
The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling.
And even more beautiful is… knowing that you are the reason behind it.

[AWESOME] Shorewood High School Recreates ’500 Days’ Musical Number
One of the most original concept I’ve seen in a long time. Students from Shorewood High School made this SUPER DOOPER AWESOME viral video! They did it in one unbroken take. Oh, and they did it backwards. THIS IS A MUST WATCH!!!
This is a video of his daughter Michela who for several months just can’t get to sleep without waking up every 2 hours. So the dad had enough and decided to help her sleep, but would not recommend this to anyone as it kind of backfired on him. His height is 5″ 10 in. and managed to fit in the crib.
