September 24th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted by Hiroshi

I happened to talk to a British Guy who lives in Birmingham and he calls his region ‘Black Country’ and the way he talked he said that its a ‘Black Country Style’ accent.

There is bit of a difference in between American English and British English accent. Normally what we hear in English movies mostly is American English style and accent.

Old Age is A Gift

I’ve become my own friend. I don’t chide myself for eating that extra cookie, or for not making my bed. I am entitled to overeat, to be messy, to be extravagant.
