What are your bad habits?

THE TAPESCRIPT

What are your bad habits? I think everyone has bad habits. Not everyone agrees on what bad habits are. Some smokers don’t think smoking is a bad habit. Young people don’t think listening to loud music on the train is a bad habit. In Japan, slurping your noodles is a sign that you enjoy your food, but making a noise while eating in England is not good. Have you ever tried to break your bad habits? I have quit smoking and have stopped leaving things laying around the house. I wish other people would stop their bad habits. I get annoyed when people are late for meetings or talk loudly on their phones in public. I also think many motorists need to think about their driving habits. Perhaps I should point out their bad habits.

I LOST HOPE AND THOUGHT THAT WE’LL GET DIVORCED SOON…BUT THEN I DECIDED TO ACT ON IT- BRAD PITT WRITES A SWEET LOVE LETTER TO ANGELINA JOLIE

“My wife got sick. She was constantly nervous because of problems at work, personal life, her failures and problems with children.

She has lost 30 pounds and weighed about 90 pounds in her 35 years. She got very skinny, and was constantly crying. She was not a happy woman. She had suffered from continuing headaches, heart pain and jammed nerves in her back and ribs.

She did not sleep well, falling asleep only in the morning and got tired very quickly during the day. Our relationship was on the verge of break up.

Her beauty was leaving her somewhere, she had bags under her eyes, she was poking her head, and stopped taking care of herself. She refused to shoot the films and rejected any role.

I lost hope and thought that we’ll get divorced soon…But then I decided to act on it.
After all I’ve got the most beautiful woman on the earth.

She is the idol of more than half of men and women on earth, and I was the one allowed to fall asleep next to her and to hug her shoulders.

I began to pamper her with flowers, kisses and compliments. I surprised her and pleased her every minute. I gave her lots of gifts and lived just for her. I spoke in public only about her. I incorporated all themes in her direction. I praised her in front of her own and our mutual friends.

You won’t believe it, but she blossomed. She became even better than before. She gained weight, was no longer nervous and she loved me even more than ever. I had no clue that she CAN love that much. And then I realized one thing: The woman is the reflection of her man. If you love her to the point of madness, she will become it.“

(Story Time ) Magic Ice-Cream III (31-03-2006)

Into the World's People

Magic Ice-Cream III (31-03-2006)

Bill thought hard and decided to pretend that he left for school extra early. So he hid his backpack and clothes as best as he could. Without his hands, it was very difficult, but he managed to stuff it under his bed with his sports equipment.

"There, that'll do for now. I hope mom doesn't get suspicious." Bill thought to himself. From outside, he could hear her walking towards his room. In a flash, Bill hid himself behind the closet. A minute later, his mom opened his door and said, "Bill, where are you?" After scanning the room and not finding him, "Hmm...he must have left early for school." With a last glance, she left the room.

When the coast was clear, Bill emerged from the closet. "Phew! That was close. Now how do I get myself out of this mess?" Bill furrowed his non-existent pig eyebrows and thought, and thought and thought... But he couldn't think of any solution whatsoever. Unless he could undo the magic, there seemed no way out. But how? He was no magician!

Bill started feeling terribly and big tears started rolling down his cheeks. On the floor, he detected a stain of ice-cream from yesterday's incident. "If only I didn't eat the ice-cream," he scolded himself. He realized what a fool he had been. "I promise to never overeat ice-cream no matter how good it looks." Bill swore from the bottom of his heart.
Suddenly as soon as he said those words, his little pig tail started shrinking, and his hands and feet started appearing. He couldn't believe his eyes! Bill magically transformed back into his mousy hair and freckled face! "Wow! How did that happen? Is it because I promised to never eat too much ice-cream again?" Bill couldn't hold back his excitement and gave a loud "Yippee!!!"

Bill's happy shouts soon had his mother checking on the raucous. "Bill! I thought you had already left for school! What are you still doing home?" She questioned him with a surprised look. Bill was taken aback and at a loss for words. "Umm...well...you see," Bill's mom crossed her arms and began to look very angry. "As punishment for being late to school, there will be no ice-cream for two weeks, young man!" To her great surprise, Bill just nodded without putting up a fight like he usually did. "Ok, mom. whatever you say. As a matter of fact, even after the two weeks is over, you can give me ice-cream only twice a week like you wanted." Now it was his mom's turn to be at a loss for words. But what was she to say? It was great news! After that day, Bill's trip to the dentist changed from almost always to almost never.
