Puke from my mouth

It has been a while. Are we forgotten? the souls ask me... No my friend, I love you and you are always with me.

So why has this blog been standing still for the last month? Just another may fly kissing life and dies like milions other have died.
Before i answer that, an upcomming story has to been told.

My biggest enemy is i can't keep the concentration. I simply can't keep the focus. Maybe its the envoirment, my trashed up apartment or my messy life.

But now this chapter is over and another one begins. I am leaving Denmark and my new home will be Thailand.

I'll keep in touch with you

5 killer Techniques to improve your Social skills instantly

When you meet a new person, the first 20 seconds are crucial for the future destiny between the two of you. Love at first sight? It is all about the first impression. Could your first appearance be better?

Naturally we all want to leave our new acquaintances with a positive impression of us. Therefore it is a good idea to be aware of how you can improve these essential seconds. From my dayjob as a coach for sales trainees and from my studies of human behavior I have gathered 5 tricks and advices that can improve your first impression.


The “Be positive” character
Attitude is everything. This might sound like an old cliché, but never the less it can be used as a powerful tool. For me this means to get into the “positive character”. Engage yourself into this character. Fake it till you make it, and get into the zone. If you are open minded and positive to new inputs, people will see you as confident.

Meeting an old friend
Here is a powerful tool: When you meet a new person, imagine you are meeting an old friend. When you are smiling and happy to see them, it helps you to get into the right mindset. Caring and interested. “How are you my good old friend? I am so happy to see you!” The warm feelings you project, will make you sparkle with positive energy.

Body language
Because there are so many aspects of the body language, it could be an article for itself. Instead I will concentrate on some of the key point of do’s and don’ts

• Crossing your arms shouts insecurity
  Be aware of this. If you don’t know where to put your hands, simply place them on your hips as this signalize an open body language.
  
• Move slowly and confident, like you are moving in water.
  This is a great trick, which signalize control and makes you look like the owner of the room. Do you remember John Travolta as Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction? The way he moves when he and Mia Wallace enters the Jack Rabbit's Slim.


(Im sorry for the dubbed language, but you catch the drift of what i mean with moving slowly)


• Turn your palms upwards for honesty.
  
  When you are talking to other persons, keep in mind your hands are turning upwars. This is a sign of honesty, you have nothing to hide.

Your first words
Keep in mind, that the first 20 words you say are the first anchoring about you in other peoples mind. Therefore these words must be positive and confident. I often keep my first 20 words pre programmed for the situation, something like “Hi my name is Chris, you must be Darren? I’m glad you are here, I have been looking forward to meet you”

Smile
And not that simulated smile. Instead practice on making your whole face smiling. Think about a situation with your friends where you are having a great time. Work it out in front of the mirror, to get perfect your “smiley face”

This was my 5 tricks for improving your social skills at the first impression. As time rolls you are the only person who can improve it, so i really hope you take notes of this until next time you meet a new person.

Fly The Copter

Why is it, that some things are just addicting? The first kiss, the first click, the first rushing fix that leads to next. If you know what im talking about keep reading.

This feeling of "I need one more try" has started a craze among office employees around the world, which at some places has lead to banning of hompages and in one known case even a dismissal note.

The trend of this simple, yet so refined, game can at some levels be compared to a new yoyo trend. Everybody is doing it. Everybody wants to be the Copter Stud. At my work the Copter Stud's record is 3220, and believe me, he is leaping the benefits.

If you digged the arcarde slutmachines you will recognize the awesome fullfiment of burning time and chasing the record, that this game gives you.

You can try the game right below. But I must warn you: The game is highly addictive and can cause losing sense of time.

Singing sensation: Angels For Ever

"Angels For Ever" is the name of this singing sensation.

After an appearance in the danish version of X Factor, the two danish twins Rene and Michael have become celebrities in most of Scandinavia due to their odd appearance and unique synchronic singing.



The twins have become the center of attention for a whole nation with their unique syncrone singing, standing towards each other like a picutre in the mirror.

They both suffer from ADHD and talks freely about it.

Though 'Angels For Ever' were eliminated from X factor, their appearance has already earned them a huge fan crowd, and are touring denmark every weekend singing in night clubs.
