Two Frogs In a Hole

There were two frogs leaping around in a swamp. Suddenly they fell in a very deep hole. All the frogs gathered and told them that its impossible to get out of this mud-filled hole and that they have to give up.

The first frog tried to jump and jump but he never make it, the rest of the frogs outside the hole kept making him down.

Eventually he gave up and died.

The second frog however keep on jumping and jumping trying to reach the surface, despite the discouragement of the rest of the frog. He finally made it.

The rest of the frogs were amazed and told him why didn't you listen and give up like the other frog? Then he explained that he was deaf. He thought that they were encouraging him to get out. That's why he kept on trying.

Testimonial

"There is honestly no one I can think of that would be better to play Murdock or Hamlet. I'm not just blowing smoke up your ass because I'm your friend either, I seriously mean it. You would be fantastic in either one of those roles. I really hope you get them."

Double Standard

The term double standard, coined in 1912,[1] refers to any set of principles containing different provisions for one group of people than for another, typically without a good reason for having said difference.[2] A double standard may take the form of an instance in which certain applications (often of a word or phrase) are perceived as acceptable to be used by one group of people, but are considered unacceptable—taboo—when used by another group.

A double standard, thus, can be described as a sort of biased, morally unfair suspension (toward a certain group) of the principle that all are equal in their freedoms. Such double standards are seen as unjustified because they violate a basic maxim of modern legal jurisprudence: that all parties should stand equal before the law.

REVIEW of the KoFF: "Fearless balls out, fuck you type of performance...authentic...real."

My British friend, Guy, who I met through his famous YouTube channel TheMainMeal, which features his patented, one of a kind Tourette's Karaoke performances,  paid me the ultimate compliment today.

He wants me to link my video to one of his videos. I copied his message telling me why under this video. My performance starts at 2:08.

Hi Erik


My reason for suggesting you link your video to mine, is because what I see in that video is a fearless, balls out, fuck you type of performance, I love it, its what I am about, To me the modern age is saturated with fake, plastic people, everyone thinks they are star and acts like they are already a star, replete with thoroughly offensive ego. You are real, your performance is real, the world needs reality, I don;t mean the crap thats passes for reality tv, I mean totally authentic real people who have flaws, are happy to wear them and just don't give a fuck.

You have my total respect for putting yourself out there..


take care friend
Guy

We are real people with flaws. We are happy to wear them. And we don't give a fuck.

Knots

If a man falls in the woods and no one sees him.
When he comes back into town
How can we be sure that anyone will believe him?
