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.

Feel free to suggest your own ideas and experiences in comments below.

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.

Depressed women are having more sex

(Photo: AP)

Sex is the wonder tonic for a lot of things – evidently also for depressions. The feeling of safety it brings is why depressed women are having more sex

It's not the lack of sex that causes women's depressions. New studies show, that depressed women are more active on the sheets than their healthy sisters of the female sex.

The Daily mail writes that Women with mild to moderate depressions are up to 3 times more active, whether they are in a relationship or not. The researchers behind the test are pleased with the result, as they state that sex can be a form of self treatment, if not a cure, for depressions.

Sex brings safety
It shows that women in relationships seek sex, when they are depressed. The intimacy brings them safety.

“When people are depressed, they feel more insecure in their relationship and are doubting their partner, because they feel useless and unwanted” - Says Sabura Allen who is behind the study.

“When they are having sex, they get this intimacy and safety which is needed to feel loved” She says.

Singles are the most active
As the women in relationships single women are reaching for sex when they are depressed.

They have numerous more affairs than their healthy single girlfriends.

Whether sex is the medicine for depressions are still not known.

How to Smalltalk

We all know the uncomfortable situation: You just met a new person and as the silent tension rise so does the question “what should we talk about?”

Through my years in the sales business I have gathered a couple of simple techniques to Smalltalk, which help to build instant rapport and comfort with any person you just met. This may seem a bit superficial, but hey - is'nt that what smalltalk is all about?


6 Easy Techniques to Smalltalk

1. Topics to talk about
First thing first. When you start a conversation with a person you’ve just met it is important to start off with easy and non touchy topics. Politics, Religion, Sexual orientation and so on are no goes. Instead use soft subjects that are easy for almost anyone to talk about.

Examples:
· Interests
· Holiday
· Work

2. Closed questions
Closed questions are characterized by limited possibilities of answers. It does not take a lot from the other person to reply, which makes it easy for the conversation to get flowing.

Examples:
“Are you having a great day?” (YES/NO)
“Are you going on holiday this summer?” (YES / NO)
“Where do you come from?” (Sweden)

With these questions the ball is passed back to you and you are naturally expected to serve the next question. Furthermore closed questions work as activators for deeper questions later in the conversation and are naturally followed by open questions.

3. Open questions
Open questions oblige your conversationalist to answer in a longer sentence, and often require the person to think about the answer. This kind of question is great for building comfort, and makes the conversation seem more natural.

Open questions are often made off the reply the other person just gave you on a closed question:

Examples:
“What makes it great?”
“Where are you going on holiday?”
“What brings you here?”

4. Listening sounds
When we are having a Smalltalk conversation it is important to seem interested in what the other person is telling you about. This technique is powerful, and you probably already do it without thinking about it. Listening sounds are small sounds or words you say when the other person talks.

Examples:
“Aha”, “I see”, “Wow”, “Really?”, “is that so?”, “Wow, that’s a lot” - You catch the drift.

Listening sounds signalize that you are interested in what the other person says, and motivate them to keep on going.

5. Duplicating
This is a simple, yet very powerful technique for keeping the other person talking.
Duplicating is easy: Simply duplicate a word or phrase in the talker’s sentence as a question. You can keep the conversation going for a long time just by using this simple technique, and the other person will think you are a great listener.


Example:
Her “This summer I am going to Italy, to visit my family”
You “Wow nice… Family in Italy?”
Her “Yeah, part of my family lives in Italy, and this summer my has invited all the family having to celebrate his birthday in his home city Toscana”
You “I see. Toscana?”
Her “Yeah it’s a beautiful city in Italy known for their great food”


6. Mirroring
We all seem to like the persons that we have something in common with. Therefore always try to mirror your common interests.

Example:

“Wow, you love Italian food, me too! What’s your favorite?”
Hello my new best friend :)

Now this is just my version. Critics and suggestions are more than welcome.

Stay froggen in

Here it is: The most expensive corn flake in the world

(Photo: AP)

Eating corn flakes can be lucrative. That is what two american sisters discovered, finding a cornflake that looked like the state of Illionois.

The sisters later put it up for auction on ebay which ended this friday on a staggering price of 1350$ The winner of the auction is a man from Texas that plans to open a small museum.

"We are starting a collection of pop culture and american objects" the happy auction winner states.

UPDATE from Tibet: 'Blood and Fire' as China tightens grip

As the tension rises China and spreads to other areas, China sends more troups into Lhasa, to tighten the grip on the tibetan demonstrants. At least 80 trucks with para military policemen were seen entering the capital today. It's reported that more than 4000 policemen are in the area.

China announced the surrender of 105 demonstrants involved in last week's violent protests in Lhasa.

Pictures from within:

PROOF: The Chinese Monk Slaugther House

China tries to deny shootings against Tibetan demonstrants, but new shocking pictures reveal another and much more horrifying truth.

With the Olympic Games in Beijiing only 5 months away, China is struggling to keep their credibility to the world regarding the crisis with Tibet. Chinese authority blames the riot on the Tibetan spirutal leader Dalai Lama as an attempt to break away from china.

While the international press is denied acces to Tibet, these pictures show another story from within the walls. Omni Frog is following the story.

Freedom of the media in this olympic year?

The Omni Frog is croaking the uncut reality in the spirit of freedom of speech, so naturally you can find the cartoons here! If you wan’t to see the truth that started it all?
