London Times Obituary of the late Mr. Common Sense - Sunday,  31st March 2008 (This was "forwarded" by someone through email. I am not the author of the text)

 

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: "knowing when to come in out of the rain"; "why the early bird gets the worm"; "life isn't always fair"; and "maybe it was my fault".

 

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

 

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

 

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or a band-aid to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

 

Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

 

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

 

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason.

 

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers: I Know My Rights, I Want It Now, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm A Victim.

 

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A valentine's day cant be better for someone who is not in "love" with anyone, than watching a romantic movie that talks about the feeling that is universal across boundaries, across religions, across hearts, across everything in this world - LOVE.

 

The movie I saw was "P.S: I Love You". It was a very good movie showcasing the true love and affection between a couple. They both make an ideal couple on screen. Here is an outline of the movie (from wikipedia):

 

 

I was really able to feel what the director wanted the audience to feel. I should say he was successful in that. The last letter from Gerry was something that really showcased how good a husband he was. Truly every woman who saw this movie would have wanted to get a life partner like him. When initially Holly used to abuse Gerry for leading an unplanned life, he paid her in full with meticulously planning each and every move to bring Holly out of the utter devastation she has been in post his death. The director could have made the climax of the movie a still more emoting to have put a lasting impression in everyone who saw the movie but has failed to do so. But all in all, this is a really good movie. I would give it a 8 out of 10.
