Folding socks

I was folding socks to put away. Or 'pairing' my clean laundry, to store in my draw. I can't believe how I bore you to tears! Hehehe. Pathetic it may sound, but this process bought me joy! It can be, in doing the most mundane activities, that I actually find myself happy. I was able to realise that I was using both hands to do such. I had learnt to do this task with the predominant use of just one hand. It hurt me, psychologically, to need to be taught to use two. I resisted, learnt a special technique, but this week I found myself  unknowingly using both hands. When I realised, I stopped, shocked! It amused how happy I was, folding socks!

Armstrong was the biggest and best cheat. We must applaud. It was a mighty, invincible complex scheme of cheating. It succeeded. Those who slant him now must admit to have fallen for his lie (they now feel cheated). I never did fall for it, but there was little choice but to accept his conquest.

Below is a section from an email in which I try to argue for designing with the use of black on white text! The use of a white background is so good.

'I know it is the common colour, but it’s because it is best (and white is not a colour). White is a lack of anything, therefore the contrasts of the subjects (colours) with the background are at a maximum. Humans actually read the contrast, not the subjects. Some are clean contrasts, others are harsh. Clarity and cleanliness are maximised.'

I think that I have been successful.
