for and since still a dilemma

For and since are commonly used with the present perfect tense.

For

We use for to talk about a period of time.

E.g. "I haven't smoked for weeks."

Since

We use since to talk about a specific point in time, or a time when the action started.

E.g. "I haven't smoked since 2010."

no title (blithely written) (carefree without any pressure)

one question that has been that has been haunting me, puzzling me, nightmarishly harbouring and  mushrooming right under my nose is that i might lose my confidence in english (you know why i didn't used loose and instead lose these two mind boggling words that give jitters to even experts sometimes
 to explain my point loose means not tight like the fitting of this shirt is loose however lose is as if u have lost something or u not currently in possession of it or u have not won sth like i fear i might lose this battle however i still have a chance to win the war )
anyways lets comeback to my fears, i always worry i might not be able to deliver when it is required the most and it has started to show up as well (how i cant share in the moment but yet it has ) i just cant figure out a way to make it bite the dust ( to fall so that your body touches the ground or to fail ) its a hard nut to crack (means its difficult to solve or find a solution ). Perhaps these hollow fears are just making me wary about(or of) my potential or caliber my abilities and sometimes it happens u to have to bite the dust to make others bite it and i know theirs more in me than meets the eye (actual phrase their is more to me than meets the eye  means things are more complicated or things are more inside me hidden that can be seen from eye or at the beginning)
accomplishing what u want is not an easy task sacrifices have to be made perseverance has to be done.
may be the fact that i fear so much and work less is that over these years  i have become a little touchy (one who quickly takes offence or i difficult to handle also called touchy-feely)
the best way out in fact the only way out the one which still might have chance for me to notch a six on the last ball and find a niche among-st the best people or the most profitable corner of a market.
i am no child prodigy but i have been nurtured and certainly and undoubtedly or indubitably and even indisputably sure that i rise from rags to riches and this fact is undisputed . This is not narcissism nor have i written this in vanity(excessive pride) or conceit (false pride) nor shall i proclaim that i am better their is only one thing that i believe regardless of how others do in their life i can do better. I have this deep rotted hunch that i will be what i dream.("thy shall be what thou dream of") this roman line seems to complement my blog (now you might ask why i haven't i used compliment (one with i) its simply because compliment is something that u want to say in praise of sth but complement one with the e is used when sth looks better along something or  with sth like they both seem to complement each other or your shirt seems to complement your coat )

BY THE WAY WHAT DO I MEAN WHEN I SAY
throw on some clothes .
i quickly throw on some clothes to get to office in time.
 i mean wear them very quickly..

difference between disinterested uninterested and not interested
a common goof-ups done by us

Disinterested - having no personal involvement or receiving no personal advantage, and therefore free to act fairly. "Impartial" or "not taking sides". almost like indifferent which means complete lack of interest just because u dont have any vested interest in what is going on ... unbiased 

We are struggling to identify twelve disinterested people for the jury.
(twelve impartial people; i.e., with no personal interest) 

when you have no involvement in or receive no special advantage or good from a situation or event

"All good referees must be disinterested" 

Their close and financially rewarding relationship was sufficient to call into question the independence and disinterest of the directors. 

Uninterested - means not showing any interest. "not interested". bored

"I'm uninterested in books. I'm interested in movies."   

Disinterested means impartial.Uninterested means not interested.
