Especially this part is funny:<br /><br /><blockquote>Asking too much questions and waiting immediate answers<br /><br />That's another big problem. Anybody surfing the net is distributing her time accross more than one window. Apart from that, we have also daily routines like standing up, going to kitchen, taking a coffee and coming back in front of the computer. These take time. So, when you ask a stupid question and wait for an immediate answer, that's just waste of time. You claim that you want to know more about this woman but in fact you just need affection. You seek affection in immediate answers to your silly questions. That's desperate. Instead, keep cool and wait. Do something else.</blockquote><br /><br />And this part here is soooo right:<br /><br /><blockquote>Putting your appearance forth instead of your mind and soul<br /><br />That's another big problem. Women are not as much attached to physical beauty as men are. Emphasize your knowledge, passion, credibility. Your look is not as important as you think. Who our are and your mind and your soul is more important. Your pleasure may be dependent on your eyes but ours is not the same. Our pleasure not depends on what we see but what we hear. So, talk nicely and meaningful.</blockquote><br /><br />link: <a href="http://epiphahu.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-get-intimate-with-women-on-web.html">How to get intimate with women on the web?</a><br /><br />And thank you for your link Ahu!Thomas Crownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17452388705786050782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22429475.post-50576609706022211662008-10-15T14:02:00.000-07:002008-10-15T14:07:14.428-07:00Bearklektor's face and body paintings set on FlickrThere is a nice set of <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/9199473@N06/sets/72157600585083232/">body and face paintings</a> on Flickr from Bearklektor.<br /><br />Here are a couple of them:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz-87bq2nHBHOGiMPrRQ9ix3NvwHSFPLiUWjlqfobPFT3iehdgHDlqt8vvJmZoX1zJlX7gGhoKnSJwYKEaX6tAxLHDIsIO1MlxoXb1Q_f8rnh6ALz47Yza1JEj9kw03-h1GKBQDA/s1600-h/1477804205_811cfb3655.jpg"><img style="display:block;

This is so re-freshening. Since it is September, there is no wild sun and no wild heat. Everything is calm and it is very relaxing. It isn't cold either. But it is very windy.<br /><br />Maybe I can make my own photos here, instead of wandering all around Flickr like mad.</p>Thomas Crownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17452388705786050782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22429475.post-65373028505342530512008-09-14T05:13:00.000-07:002008-09-14T08:17:56.456-07:00Questions questionsWell, a friend of mine who recently visited my blog asked me about why I do not continue on my posts with my ongoing therapy and depression. I decided to share my answer.<br /><br />At the time I have started blogging, I was in a therapy and it didn't went really well. I had to find my own way to cure my depression and I did that, at least to a certain degree. However now I believe more in dynamic type of psychotherapy instead of cognitive therapy. Anyway, that's a technical issue.<br /><br />What I do instead is to concentrate on beautiful imagery. Some of you may noticed that I primarily blog about photos around Mediterranean (my famous Mediterranean love) and body paints. Although body paint pictures in my blog draw more attention in comparison to photos of sea and sun around Mediterranean, I love them more :)<br /><br />Anyway, for those of you who were curious about the same thing, that's my brief answer.<br /><br />By the way, if there is anything you want to ask in private, just use e-mail. It's on my profile page.Thomas Crownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17452388705786050782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22429475.post-28186024895283929342008-09-08T15:25:00.001-07:002008-09-08T15:25:40.930-07:00Garden In Monaco<style type="text/css">.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }</style><div class="flickr-frame"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pilou/139321396/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/56/139321396_22eb11b86e.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /></a><br /> <span class="flickr-caption"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pilou/139321396/">Garden In Monaco</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/pilou/">Philippe Sainte-Laudy</a>.</span></div> <p class="flickr-yourcomment"> While my Mediterranean love continues, I am now looking at HDR photography over on Flickr. I have to confess that I don't like the idea at all. The photograph you see above is an HDR photo. I don't really have too much information on this technology but I simply don't like it.<br /><br />The above photo is a nice example of HDR. Not every HDR photo is that nice though. I am not against photo manipulations. However it just takes the beauty of the nature and the truth out of a photo.<br /><br />What truth, you may ask. I mean the truth we share through our naked eyes and that truth is reflected on photography. Anyway, I respect the hard work of technology but... that's it.</p>Thomas Crownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17452388705786050782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22429475.post-40469383837480250332008-08-14T22:55:00.000-07:002008-08-14T22:58:25.343-07:00Banned commercial<div title="http://embed.break.com/NTUzOTY5" style="border: 1px solid rgb(223, 223, 223); background: transparent url(chrome://flashblock/content/flashplay.png) no-repeat scroll center center; overflow: hidden; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; min-width: 32px ! important; min-height: 32px ! important; width: 464px; height: 392px; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; -moz-box-sizing: border-box;"></div><br /><br />(via <a href="http://moodr.blogspot.com/2008/08/extramarital-affair-ad-gets-axed.html">moodr</a>)Thomas Crownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17452388705786050782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22429475.post-31506633000001513622008-08-01T15:08:00.001-07:002008-08-01T15:08:12.326-07:00Body Art<style type="text/css">.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }</style><div class="flickr-frame"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ernestpoletaev/2509102509/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2158/2509102509_50889ca5ae.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /></a><br /> <span class="flickr-caption"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ernestpoletaev/2509102509/">BodyArt</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/ernestpoletaev/">Ernest Poletaev</a>.</span></div> <p class="flickr-yourcomment"> </p>Thomas Crownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17452388705786050782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22429475.post-3784891468402397142008-07-24T10:11:00.000-07:002008-12-14T10:55:14.438-08:00A step by step creation of a painting<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3rxteVTpzzG98O95wK8MZuzh-MNnZSz5kuSgg1cQaMVYKW4CvlPzSC9MwE1p63UNdyABQ18Z2aAwMfjfLQFEaoNoRi4JWTzXI8VqseIFYX3lhPn9pBJPs_GIiu9Bk43Ew5_B8Ng/s1600-h/final.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3rxteVTpzzG98O95wK8MZuzh-MNnZSz5kuSgg1cQaMVYKW4CvlPzSC9MwE1p63UNdyABQ18Z2aAwMfjfLQFEaoNoRi4JWTzXI8VqseIFYX3lhPn9pBJPs_GIiu9Bk43Ew5_B8Ng/s400/final.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226629563484109554" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.hifructose.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=141">See how Chris Ryniak presents his creative process</a>.Thomas Crownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17452388705786050782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22429475.post-41242344545900458512008-07-24T06:40:00.001-07:002008-07-24T06:40:02.082-07:00Crete<style type="text/css">.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }</style><div class="flickr-frame"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/markop/959497015/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1204/959497015_816e52c3f4.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /></a><br /> <span class="flickr-caption"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/markop/959497015/">Leaving</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/markop/">macropoulos</a>.</span></div> <p class="flickr-yourcomment"> So this time, it is Crete.
