Rumor has it…
That people either love or hate rumors… Rumor, gossip, blabbermouth, however we want to call it, they are part of our delusive wealthy society and one thing is sure, we cannot avoid them. What else would we do anyway with our spare time?!? Oh yeah! Right! Mind our own business! Anyway recently I was accused…

Could happiness be THAT simple?
Smelly cheese and red wine… Simple but it seems to work for this man. Smiling (I am pretty sure he was smiling) and head up, this old man sat there, enjoying simple things of life. … while miserable wealthy b(w)ankers sat next to him, refusing to show any sign of the satisfaction life gives them.…
