The title of the blog is written based on a quote of Benjamin Franklin who was a writer, a philosopher, a scientist, a politician, a patriot, a Founding Father, an inventor, and publisher.

The title is self-explanatory somehow, and gives you the idea of what the theme of this blog is about. Yes. The topic is about “procrastination”.

Learning homophones with wolves

about homophones by homophobe

I love you so much.
Please never doubt this is true.
But I'm having such
A hard time with you.
You want me to tell, 
But there are reasons why I must stay quiet.
It puts me through hell
That I live with this secret.
I know it makes you feel like I don't care,
But I promise that's not true.
I love you, but I do not dare
To tell mom and dad about you.

IDEA OF HAPPINESS: 

Idea of happiness depends upon what a person has at the very specific moment.  A person may think that without wealth there would be no happiness, so he would try to get more and more wealth.  But if he be contended and have satisfaction with what he has, there is happiness in it.

These are some comebacks retorted by some iconic characters throughout the history. As you probably know, a comeback is a quick reply to a critical remark:

Admirer: Herr Mozart, I'm thinking of writing symphonies. Can you give me any suggestions as to how to get started?

Mozart: A symphony is a very complex musical form. Perhaps you should begin with some simple lieder and work your way up to a symphony.

Admirer: But Herr Mozart, you were writing symphonies when you were 8 years old.

Mozart: Yes, bu

This blog post is dedicated to a 'troublemaker' comma that is kind of controversial (and I love controversial topics!)

Who doesn't wanna learn some grammar on weekends?! Noone!, right? :D
So this is me coming right in time, one more time.   Let's go!

Other boys were playing football in the yard but I was in my room engaged in my favourite pastime. I just couldn’t stop doing it! Soon it became my mania: I started doing it at night, under the blanket, so that my parents wouldn’t catch me doing it. But my father noticed it. He said that he had the same addiction and
