My Pick of History

Sometimes going back in time is possible. Here are some pictures you may have seen but have not really thought about it. These are my favourate pick of history.

1. Albert Einstein

Arthur Sasse, March 1951The timeless photo of Albert Einstein sticking out his tongue is familiar to many, but the story behind it is less so. On his birthday party in March, 1951, a journalist asked Albert for a smile, tired of smiling all night, the physicist replied with an eccentric sticking-out of the tongue. He may have had few beers by that point.


2. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer

Metro Goldwyn Mayer
The opening credits to any Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production is synonymous with the roaring lion, everyone has experienced that vintage roar before the film is about to start, becoming a symbol for the MGM brand. It was here in 1928 that they filmed the famous roar, I hope those cameramen are still in one piece


4. Lumberjacks

Humboldt State University
This image is from the 1915-era capturing lumberjacks working amongst the gargantuan redwoods in California when commercial logging was at its very pinnacle.
I don’t think they required a health and safety certificate back then.

5. McDonalds

Atlantic 
I’m not sure they had drive-thru’s at this point, but the first ever McDonalds here in San Bernadino, California, is a site to behold. Who would have guessed how many more of these would pop up all around the world. The site now acts as the McDonald’s #1 Store Museum.

MY JOURNEY INTO ADULTHOOD - Part 1

Image
It has been a pretty busy time of my life in the past years 2016-2021. I was busy with work, trying to find what works for me in this new life. I've been through so many crossroads and choices that I had to make over these few years outside of my comfy parents laps. Here's a bit of reflection over those years (If I can remember correctly). OCTOBER 2016  After I left university, I decided not to go home, but to pursue employment in PNG's most densely populated city of Port Moresby - the city of the filthy rich, the struggling middle-class, thugs and cultural and societal misfits. For me, it was a place to find a decent job. It wasn't too long before I figured it's not as easy as it was presented to us in the comforts of a lecture room. I bet all under-grads had the same dream as I had, thinking we've made it in life going into a University and it should be all downhill from there, getting a good job owning a house a car. Well that is not the case, as soon as you ...

YouTube as a YoutTuber part II

Image
From my last post - I was just starting. I didnt know what to expect from being a beginer, ie 'Brukim bush' as we say in Tok Pisin. Anyways for PNG Fighting Compilation videos obviously cannot work on my channel. I got 2 strikes and have to wait two weeks to upload more videos - sad story for a beginer. Lesson learnt, next time you want to try something new, make sure to ready all the guidlines (Especially Community Guidlines) so you know what you upload does not violate any of them. The idea to criticize memes may not be a good idea since I'd like to build an audience. One thing I found is that, once you know how to post attractive and interesting content, this improves your posts on other social media platforms - so whatever I'm learning from YouTube is excercised on my Facebook Pages and Instagram. Information is key, learn as much as you can so that you can be able to provide to your audience as much information as needed. I've watched a whole lot of v...
