Nike Shox Chaussures -
09-04-2010, 02:59 AM
Good, smart post. I've done this as well and I have to see it's great in terms of creating brand and ultimately, awareness. I speak about Nike TN Chaussures, which is the investors equivalent of lifestreaming -- using social media tools to add to and plug into the collective Nike TN Requin. I recently launched a book under the same brand. My website, Nike Shox Chaussures, will also ultimately serve as the homebase for other content products using the same content category.

Your mother is French ?
Great, that explains why you could understand and communicate in French ! I really thought that you could "guess" French thanks to your mother tongue ^^ Concerning "D'accord pas d'accord" It really can't be French. Why ? It is TOTALLY grammatically INCORRECT. In English it makes perfect sense to put 2 verbs consecutively. Agree to disagree Kill to live Hide to survive and so on ! BUT It goes against any French grammar lesson to put two nouns as "d'accord" next to each other (d'accord is not a verb. The verb would be "Etre d'accord" which is the "To be" verb) (Well actually "d'accord" is a locution) "Nous sommes d'accord de ne pas être d'accord" would be the correct translation. But, yet, it makes no sense at all. And any French hearing that would make a funny face before going "lmao". Oh and btw, "My mother is French" does not really give me her opinions on this debates ^^

My father is Portuguese and my mother could communicate with him. (she didn't learn any Portuguese at all) Concerning "D'accord pas d'accord", seen people using it (like on the forum I linked) so I just copied the example. A bad one.

You know what ?
I created a thread on a FRENCH Forum about this debate. Pouvez-vous comprendre les langues latines Besides the first reply, no french can communicate in Span/Port/Ital without learning it. No problem for D'accord pas d'accord ^^ Lots of french journalists (with no education) enjoy creating new phrases and such. I believe D'accord pas d'accord is one of them just like "Au jour d'aujourd'hui" .... So lame ^^

JasonTakeshi, you must be a genius... My mother tongues are Berber and Arabic. I also speak English and French to a level where the majority of people that speak to me, say I am fluent! Spanish, and Portuguese are "Latin languages" and have also been influenced by Berber and Arabic (there are hundreds if not thousands of words in each language from Arabic).
So, I have the knowledge of basic Grammar from French. I have the vocabulary from Arabic, French, Berber and even English. With ALL of this, I can't hold a conversation (i.e. communicate)... I can understand a lot of words, a lot of sentences etc, but that is not the same thing as having a conversation. I went to Spain a couple of months ago... I couldn't have a conversation to save my life... Not with Spanish or Catalan which is a lot closer to French. If you really can communicate, have a conversation with ease, then you really are a genius, and I'm jealous! Because I'd love to add Spanish and Portuguese to my CV lol

Did I Actually Wear That?! -

Did I Actually Wear That?!
A Look Back at the Laughable Fashion Trends of the 80s and 90s Its 1985, the Nintendo gaming console has just hit the market, Reaganomics is working on the economic problems of the nation, and people are jamming out to such hits as “We are the World”. The 1980s were a time of exploration, political upheaval and technological marvels…unfortunately, they were also responsible for some seriously dangerous fashion disasters that are still making people cringe in memory and horror today. The first fashion disaster of the 80s that MUST be mentioned are the all famous, all encompassing, all flowing Hammer Pants. The parachute pants were made popular by MC Hammer, a rap star with such great hits as, “U Can’t Touch This”, and “2 Legit 2 Quit” (which he did a few years later due to massive spending and bad business sense). Hammer Pants (Parachute Pants) were pants with large parachute like pant legs that were tight at the waist and ankles. As ‘cool’ as these pants appeared on Mr. Hammer, they were much ‘cooler’ on the teenager who sported Hammer Pants, leather jackets with shoulder pads and lopsided haircuts. We also cannot forget the cheesy white sunglasses to set the whole ensemble off. The next fashion disaster of the 80s that cannot go unmentioned has already been mentioned…the shoulder pads. Shoulder pads were meant to make men and women look broad shouldered, lean and cool. Unfortunately, shoulder pads also made people look neck less, and as if they were constantly shrugging. How cool can you be when you always look so undecided? Luckily, people realized how stupid they looked, and eventually the shoulder pads were cut off and removed from under the shirt of many. When the 1990s came they brought with them terrorist attacks, guerilla warfare, Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky, the Pentium processor, email, Seinfeld, Britney Spears, Doc Martens and the curtained haircut made popular in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Honestly, there weren’t many fashion disasters in the clothing and accessories market, but many people were making up for stupid clothes with stupid hairdos. The Rachel haircut was the ‘ultimate’ look introduced to the public by Jennifer Aniston and her ‘Friends’ character. As cool as she looked sporting her designer locks, not everyone looked as good- you know you know someone who thought they looked good with the Rachel, but in reality they looked like a poodle with an American attitude problem. The curtained haircut sported by Edward Furlong (John Connor) in the Terminator movie was basically a lazy hair cut. With all that hair in his eyes how could he see far enough ahead of himself to get away from the liquid metal killer on his tail? Unfortunately, young men still have an issue with leaving their hair in their eyes, but what hasn’t died in over 10 years will probably be around a little longer (parents, shave your son’s head while he sleeps). The 80s and 90s were hot beds of turmoil, technology, Talking Heads and fashion trends, but we can learn from our mistakes of the past and charge ahead without making the same fashion mistakes that make us look back with nausea.
