Word of the day: Nucular

He said it again – this time in Santiago, Chile – directing his bazookas over N. Korea – People are asking why isn’t he going there – he says – “in spite of all the nucular stuff – we will wait and watch” ? No oil, in other words.

How much would I spend on hair for the rest of my life

1 year = $15 x 7 = $105

40 years of my life = $105 x 40 = $4200

If I invest $4200 in a bank and get 5% per annum for 40 years =  $8400

 

Total $ saved = $8400 + $4200 = $12600

 

Plus I would save on time, gas and energy.

 

This is assuming price of a haircut remains constant at $15 and that the best investment will give me a return of only 5%!

What say you?

Today is Sunday – and I am writing a blog. With nothing particular in mind – you get down to doing something. This must be a little bit crazy. But isn’t this how life starts – with nothing particular in mind. Anyway.. Today I created my account on http://fotothing.com/ . My address there is http://fotothing.com/akv/ . It’s a photographer’s blog site – if you know what I mean.
Anyway – that’s all for today.

My First Blog

I never thought I'd ever blog!
But here I am blogging away to glory.
Wonder what pulled me in?
To this place,
Some say utopia,
Some - a rubbish bin.
Whatever - I say,
I am here to find some answers,
And give some of my own.
