The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way.

I came across a newspaper insert that talked about the 80/20 rule …which simply states that 80% of results stem from 20% of efforts…perfect. If you think about it from a social perspective, it would mean that 20% of our friends account for 80% of our enjoyment and satisfaction. So, shouldn’t we just spend a lot more time with the group that gives us more satisfaction and enjoyment and a lot less time with the other?!? after all, who would want to be bothered by negative, annoying individuals who have very little else to do or say but complain!?! It would only make sense, right!?

If it weren’t for the last minute, nothing will get done.

Before I have even heard of these extremely wacky ice cream flavors, ice cream was never a favorite of mine. I just don’t like ice cream!any.way…

Used in a wide variety of culinary dishes soy sauce is said to be “the flavor of Japan.” which is great, but for them to make an ice cream out of it…now that’s more than wacky. Soy sauce ice cream was not a simple choice to lead, though, considering it was competing against such flavors as pit viper, Indian curry, miso ramen and salad. And it was hard to choose soy sauce over the Pearl of the Orient — Pearl-flavored ice cream. How do pearls taste like anyway?
Okay, I love all types of sea food, but this is taking it a bit too far. Some of the wacky world of Japanese ice cream include:
Fish Ice Cream (Sanma Aisu) Something must smell fishy about ice cream flavored with saury, a saltwater fish popular in Japan…But there’s no worries about that with this offering from Kimura Shoten as the fishy fumes have been drowned out by liberal doses of brandy. Not the greatest tasting ice cream on earth, though … no kidding!
Squid Ice Cream (Ika Aisu) Not wanting to give octopus ice cream a leg-up, Kimura Shoten used the extra legs available to step forward with Squid Ice Cream. And that’s no squidding. Ewww!
Ox Tongue Ice Cream (Gyutan Aisu) What better to tickle the taste buds than tongues? Though Ox Tongue Ice Cream may not be the first delicacy to come to mind, its taste is nothing to beef about. Are they serious?
