I intercepted some penicillin destined for an orphanage, and then flipped it for some cheap Russian vodka and a blow job from an Austrian prostitute.

Currently watching a bunch of commercials. As Prole has said at times, that Progressive commercial woman just makes me think shes a naughty hussy for some reason. Also, I had back to back Dominoes commercials. Now I'm craving Pizza.

Found out my cousin is a vegan today. Our grandparents were like, "What the fuck is that?" I don't think the "no dairy" part ever sunk in for them. WAIT, YOU CAN'T HAVE ICE CREAM!?? She also told our grandparents that there are plenty of vegans now -- I don't think Princeton is exactly representative of the greater population.

I only posted those links in two threads!

We have a "no dairy" rule, too, but not by choice. It's gotten so bad I've paid a new mother to provide me with her breast milk.

Her baby starved. But at least now the dogs will eat.

By the "epistemology that still dominates in Anglo-American philosophy", Code would have to be referring to the set of epistemological theories that have developed within the analytic paradigm, for analytic philosophy has been, in fact, the dominant philosophical paradigm in the English-speaking academic world since the early twentieth century.  This means, at the very least, that the agents of sexism within academic philosophy --the individuals who have in fact been the ones to discriminate against women as students, job applicants, and colleagues -- have been, for the most part, analytic philosophers, a fact that on its own makes the analytic paradigm as appropriate object for feminist scrutiny

Many feminists critics see mainstream analytic philosophy as the natural metaphysics and epistemological complement to liberal political theory, which, by obscuring real power relations within society, makes citizens acquiescent or even complicit in the growth of oppression, here and abroad.

What is it about analytic philosophy that would enable it to play this role?  Some have argued that analytic or "linguistic philosophy together with its cognitive fields (suck as formal linguistics and computational psychology), is inherently male, "phallogocentric".  Others have argued that the analytic paradigm, because of its emphasis on abstraction and formalization and its various elite skills, may be an instrument of cognitive control, serving to discredit the perspectives of members of nonprivileged groups.

Quote
By the "epistemology that still dominates in German philosophy", Code would have to be referring to the set of epistemological theories that have developed within the continental paradigm, for continental philosophy has been, in fact, the dominant philosophical paradigm in the German-speaking academic world since the early 19th century. This means, at the very least, that the agents of sexism within academic philosophy --the individuals who have in fact been the ones to discriminate against women as students, job applicants, and colleagues -- have been, for the most part, continental philosophers, a fact that on its own makes the continental paradigm as appropriate object for feminist scrutiny

By doing work in continental philosophy, I'm sure you could just use the world "conceptualstructuresandtheoreticalcommitments" appropriately (grammatically) and get a passing grade on that alone.  I hear the majority of marks come from good use of meaningless words.   :P

Now that the show is over, and we have jointly exercised our constitutional rights, we would like to leave you with one very important thought: Some time in the future, you may have the opportunity to serve as a juror in a censorship case or a so-called obscenity case. It would be wise to remember that the same people who would stop you from posting in the Official Thread of Flogging the Log may be back next year to complain about a book, or even a TV program. If you can be told what you can see or read, then it follows that you can be told what to say or think. Defend your constitutionally protected rights - no one else will do it for you. thank you.

You only exist because of the conceptualstructuresandtheoreticalcommitments that one posits in order to exit.  But these conceptualstructuresandtheoreticalcommitments come from an elitist view stemming in the foundations of the Enlightenment, which are proper objects of feminist scrutiny.  And for reasons which follow from arguments given in previous articles of mine, the feminist scrutiny here is a fact and therefor you do not exit.

I'm on call this weekend so I'm just chilling, as per usual.

Somewhere in my apartment, there is a mentally challenged kid that, on Saturdays, he likes to knock on my door.  Being a friendly neighbor, I opened it up and all he had to say was "Hi."  I shut the door after a silent minute of him smiling, looking dopey, with his shirt tucked into his underwear.

Huge mistake.  Ever since then, every Saturday, he knocks.  I don't open the door or I'm not there.  Today he tried to open my door three times, the last time being pretty violent.  My fear is that I'll get a call I need to address from my work and that he's waiting in a stairwell corner, like a distinguished mentally-challenged jaguar, waiting to retardedly pounce on his prey (me).

I thought about filing a complaint but I don't know what apartment this kid or his parent lives in.  Once I do, I will.  distinguished mentally-challenged fellow strength isn't to be fucked with.

I was just playing Halo 3 online, social slayer. 5 on 5. Before the game even began (Team BRs on Snowbound), my entire team quit. Fortunately, all but two of the opposing team quit after my team quit. So it was 2 on 1.

I won 16-9.

Say what you will about rankings not equalling skill, but the two opponents were a staff captain and grade 2 major. I'm a lowly lieutenant, my highest skill earned is 11.

Anyway, I'm quite pleased with myself for this one round. Sort of like how my best game ever was probably last night when I went 17-1 in a game on Construct. But in that one I had my full team with me. In all, though, I barely hold my head above water. My KpD is 1.194.

That reminds me, I haven't checked Facebook in a week.  Who knows how many invites I got to Farmville.

I was on the bus in the back section and there was a guy near me who suddenly burst into tears, like HEAVY HEAVY "my wife/mom just died" tears and then he pulled the cord to get off at the next station except nobody EVER gets off at that station because it's in the middle of nowhere.  I thought of that seinfeld episode where that guy runs into the woods and sits in a hole when he gets upset.  Oh and also I have a bunch of bullshit girl drama but who gives a shit about that, certainly not you guys.

Girl drama?  This is a 100% pro homo thread.  Sorry :(

I believe it takes up to 32 gig sdhc cards.  They have it now where you can download files to the sd card and setup the hax pretty painlessly.

A block away from where I work is a crack den and/or a brothel.

Along this block, I always see women doing strange things.  A month ago, one didn't have her pants on.  She had everything else on but her pants.  She was wearing underwear and walking.  She looked embarrassed.  Today I saw a woman who definitely looked like a prostitute (or still partying from the night before) stumbling around.  She might have been drunk or high or something.  Either way she was fucked up with hair looking like a rat's nest but wearing all black, including pantyhose.  Who goes on to a club and a 24+ hour crack/meth binge on a Sunday?  Which is why I suspect she is a prostitute.  That and she was stumbling near the same spot where the woman without pants was walking.  Maybe it is a guy in one of those houses that gets them but it seems weird.

I might go to the police but the fact that I don't know the specific house this is all going down (no pun intended) means it probably wouldn't go far.  Either way, pretty fucked up.

I'm working on my case (talking about fantasy football trades) and I just realized that the victim was driving an Accent! This is important because the accused claims she was following the Acccent in a construction zone, going 30 KM/h, passed her, and accelerated to 100 km/h after the construction zone. Then the accused claims she watched in her rear view mirror as the victim accelerated from 30 km/h and hit her rear bumper. The accused claims she tried to accelerate, but couldn't avoid the collision. Right!!

Oh man, I think this forum is starting to rub off on me.  I recently broke up with my girlfriend of a year and a half or so and so now suddenly every attractive girl I meet is a new prospect which is a new and exciting feeling for me.  I think I'm getting carried away though.  

Today at the mall this super cute girl asks if she can talk to me.  Naturally, the answer was yes.  Then I realize she's bringing me over to a kiosk to sell me something, but by now it's too late.  She asks me in a thick accent if I've ever been to the Dead Sea before.  Actually, I had, so I told her so.  She seemed a little surprised by this but kept going with her little spiel about Dead Sea products and how great they were and how she wanted me to buy them.   But she was so cute that I just kept trying out different ones.  

We talked about the Dead Sea and why I had gone there and she told me she had been too and that she was Israeli and she'd only been in town a couple months.  We talked about school and then about where she lived and the bars near there and then she told me she had been in the IDF and I told her I'd been in the Air Force and we really seemed to be hitting it off except for the fact that she was trying to sell me stuff.  

I did end up buying something because, well, I couldn't help it.  But she gave me her (work?) number and told me to come see her again so I'm basically in love.  I went home and googled her (very unusual Israeli) name and where she lived, and then where she told me she lived before that, and I found her facebook.  I feel like a stalker now.  I feel like Malek.  This is my flannel girl.  What have I become? :(

These girls are all over the malls where I live, and make the exact same pitch. I get hit on all the time by them ("do you have a girlfriend?" "no?" "why not, you're so handsome!"), the same pitch no matter what mall it is. Don't read anything into it.

These girls are all over the malls where I live, and make the exact same pitch. I get hit on all the time by them ("do you have a girlfriend?" "no?" "why not, you're so handsome!"), the same pitch no matter what mall it is. Don't read anything into it.

This.

I have a calculus test tomorrow but I lost my graphing calculator a few weeks ago so I've been going to the lost and found locker and asking if they have had any turned in like every couple of days.  Today, they did have one that was the same model, same color, and lost in the same room, but it was turned in just yesterday and it was next to a computer but I lost it a month ago while sitting at the group study table and so I admit that it's probably not mine.

However, I saw another calculator in the corner and the label they put on that one shows that it was found a fucking month ago somehow (I've been checking every couple of days remember) and everything else about it also matches up to mine so I claim it.  Hopefully it is actually mine but I'm guessing any dude that doesn't claim an $80 calculator after a month probably didn't care anyways.
I'm working on my case (talking about fantasy football trades) and I just realized that the victim was driving an Accent! This is important because the accused claims she was following the Acccent in a construction zone, going 30 KM/h, passed her, and accelerated to 100 km/h after the construction zone. Then the accused claims she watched in her rear view mirror as the victim accelerated from 30 km/h and hit her rear bumper. The accused claims she tried to accelerate, but couldn't avoid the collision. Right!!
Are you talking about real people or is this a hypothetical case for school?

am do you have any idea how to do this probability question?

Stress is applied to a 20-in steel bar this is clamped in a fixed position at each end. Let Y = the distance from the left end at which the bar snaps. Suppose Y/20 has a standard beta distribution with (expected value) E(Y) = 10, and (the variance) V(Y) = 100/7

E(Y) = a/(a+b)

V(Y) = ab/((a +b)^2(a + b +1))

What are the parameters to this distribution? I'm looking to alpha (a) and beta (b) but when I try to do the calculation I don't get integer values which I'm pretty sure I need or else I can't do the next part of the question.

Coming up with a 25 page research paper outline is pretty difficult!  I don't work well unless I'm under pressure so I've pretty much procrastinated the whole thing and I gotta get the whole thing together today & tomorrow so I can give a 20 min presentation on it for Tuesday and then write the actual paper over thanksgiving.  The longest paper I've ever written before was like 12 pages, lol.  Plus I only write a paper once every 3 years or so, so I completely forget how in between.

I'm writing about the battle between the pursuit of an objective standard vs. subjective storytelling in the courtroom; using books and movies (like Munchausen, The Fall, Ran) about truth embellished in fantasy & various law stuff about the strive for objectivity. 

I like the concept, it's just so broad it's kinda tough making an actual paper about it!  ^^;  But I'm progressing with a laundry list of questions to ask the audience and then answer.  Not going to sleep tomorrow night until I have a full outline with substantial thoughts for each point so I can knock out 20 mins talking about it.  I do assume if I get enough done to accomplish this for tues, the subsequent writing of the paper should be fairly easy since I'll have a ton of material and a strong outline already.  Then again that might be a bad assumption and I could be in the same situation in 2 weeks writing this!  ^^;

are you in law school right now? (did I already know this..? sorry if so, haha)   

I like papers and I'm craving some of my undergrad assignments right about now.  Criminology and the 3rd season of the Wire, an ethnography of gamblers at the local casino, feminism in pre-WWII Japan, Taoism...I didn't realize how good I had it  :'(

Yeah, 2nd half of law school right now.  Have almost all my required classes & bar tested classes done after this semester.  Unfortunately most electives at my school are 2 units and I need five 3 unit classes for each remaining semester.  So between the pickings of 3 unit electives & trying to avoid any classes with papers, I'm pretty much taking whatever is left ^^;  I don't have an emphasis so it doesn't really matter.  Will probably take an IP/Patent class in my last semester just in case I ever do videogame related work.

Got some nasty allergic reaction to something earlier this week, so I've been shot up with adrenaline all week. Urgh. I wish I could enjoy it, but I'm past drugs. Mixing the steroids with double doses of Benadryl makes it feel like I'm rolling, but without any of the fun.

I normally do and that's when I'm in shape.  Then I slack off for a month or two and get more round in the stomach >_<  I started working out again last week but then I didn't keep it up.  I'll get going again for sure at some point, just takes me a few tries to get into a 3-4 times a week pattern.

So you've got HD networks.

On these HD networks, sometimes the content is still SD.

Sometimes, they'll just have the bars on the side of the screen, often displaying the logo of the network on each bar. If you have to, by all means, do this.

Sometimes, they'll stretch the image uniformly to fit the entire screen. Guh...

And sometimes, they'll stretch only the edges. So the stuff at the center is rightly proportioned, but the stuff on the edges is distorted like crazy. And when things pan in and out of the center of the screen, you'll see them stretch and distort on the fly. Who in the world thought this was a good idea? It's the most annoying, must distracting, most... vomit-inducing method of dealing with SD content on HD networks that I can imagine. Seriously... just show the bars.

Well I got some work accomplished, so today wasn't a total waste but slacked off for too much and got distracted :X  I at least have a general outline structure:

Intro 2.5 pages
Why we want an objective standard in law 5 pages
Human nature and why we tell stories 5 pages
Storytelling in the courtroom 5 pages
What the legal system does to counter/reconcile with that 5 pages
Conclusion 2.5
=25 pages

And a got a bunch of ideas down within the broader arcs.  So tomorrow will be filling that up with substantial information and actually getting some damn research done (I'm so baaaad at actually doing research; it's like my poison).  Think I'm gonna just head down to the library when I get up with my books so I don't have distractions.  Though between a few "activities" and posterboard and stuff I can probably squeeze 20 mins out of that without a tooooon of detail.  But the more I actually get quoted and discussed, the easier time I'll have writing the actual thing.  So eh, I'll work a 10 hour research shift at the library and hope something comes out of it.  Spending monday night creating my presentation materials and baking materials.  We were told last year most of the students worked food into their presentation because eating goodies made everyone enjoy the presentation more (and took up mins!).  I already have a plan to open with food that relates to my paper for the first 3 mins -> segway to my introduction.

my weekend was lame, as they all will be until december 18h (my last final.)  A friend texted me and wanted to go on a walk, which was a pleasant surprise.  Did that for a few hours and talked about all kinds of stuff and it was wonderful.  All the while reminding myself "she's taken, she's taken, she's taken..."   :'(

ARM'S SATURDAY NIGHT OUT:
(snip)

I eventually find sanctuary in a 24h mcdonalds and hang out there for a bit.  This guy stumbles in who has clearly been beaten up or hit by a bus or something and is all messed up so the manager has to call a cab to take him to the hospital.  I'm just trying to not get noticed but then he comes over and points out the "20 minute max stay" sign so I buy some shitty burger so I can stay longer.  I eat it as slowly as possible but I still get kicked out a little while later.  Then I set up camp in a coffee shop and watched an episode of house on a guys laptop.  Then I got the same schtick and had to buy a $5 hot chocolate.  Eventually the sun rose and the bus came and I made it home and then slept til 4pm.  Cool story huh.

tldr: i was homeless for a night

What kind of place enforces that on a customer who doesn't look like he's homeless, spreading disease, or waiting on an illicit deal?

distinguished black fellow OWNERS MANUAL

Congratulations on your purchase of a brand new distinguished black fellow! If handled properly, your apeman will give years of valuable, if reluctant, service.

INSTALLING YOUR distinguished black fellow.
You should install your distinguished black fellow differently according to whether you have purchased the field or house model. Field distinguished black fellows work best in a serial configuration, i.e. chained together. Chain your distinguished black fellow to another distinguished black fellow immediately after unpacking it, and don't even think about taking that chain off, ever. Many distinguished black fellows start singing as soon as you put a chain on them. This habit can usually be thrashed out of them if nipped in the bud. House distinguished black fellows work best as standalone units, but should be hobbled or hamstrung to prevent attempts at escape. At this stage, your distinguished black fellow can also be given a name. Most owners use the same names over and over, since distinguished black fellows become confused by too much data. Rufus, Rastus, Remus, Toby, Carslisle, Carlton, Hey-You!-Yes-you!, Yeller, Blackstar, and Sambo are all effective names for your new buck distinguished black fellow. If your distinguished black fellow is a ho, it should be called Latrelle, L'Tanya, or Jemima. Some owners call their distinguished black fellow hoes Latrine for a joke. Pearl, Blossom, and Ivory are also righteous names for distinguished black fellow hoes. These names go straight over your distinguished black fellow's head, by the way.

CONFIGURING YOUR distinguished black fellow
Owing to a design error, your distinguished black fellow comes equipped with a tongue and vocal chords. Most distinguished black fellows can master only a few basic human phrases with this apparatus - "muh dick" being the most popular. However, others make barking, yelping, yapping noises and appear to be in some pain, so you should probably call a vet and have him remove your distinguished black fellow's tongue. Once de-tongued your distinguished black fellow will be a lot happier - at least, you won't hear it complaining anywhere near as much. distinguished black fellows have nothing interesting to say, anyway. Many owners also castrate their distinguished black fellows for health reasons (yours, mine, and that of women, not the distinguished black fellow's). This is strongly recommended, and frankly, it's a mystery why this is not done on the boat

HOUSING YOUR distinguished black fellow.
Your distinguished black fellow can be accommodated in cages with stout iron bars. Make sure, however, that the bars are wide enough to push pieces of distinguished black fellow food through. The rule of thumb is, four distinguished black fellows per square yard of cage. So a fifteen foot by thirty foot distinguished black fellow cage can accommodate two hundred distinguished black fellows. You can site a distinguished black fellow cage anywhere, even on soft ground. Don't worry about your distinguished black fellow fashioning makeshift shovels out of odd pieces of wood and digging an escape tunnel under the bars of the cage. distinguished black fellows never invented the shovel before and they're not about to now. In any case, your distinguished black fellow is certainly too lazy to attempt escape. As long as the free food holds out, your distinguished black fellow is living better than it did in Africa, so it will stay put. Buck distinguished black fellows and hoe distinguished black fellows can be safely accommodated in the same cage, as bucks never attempt sex with black hoes.

FEEDING YOUR distinguished black fellow.
Your distinguished black fellow likes fried chicken, corn bread, and watermelon. You should therefore give it none of these things because its lazy ass almost certainly doesn't deserve it. Instead, feed it on porridge with salt, and creek water. Your distinguished black fellow will supplement its diet with whatever it finds in the fields, other distinguished black fellows, etc. Experienced distinguished black fellow owners sometimes push watermelon slices through the bars of the distinguished black fellow cage at the end of the day as a treat, but only if all distinguished black fellows have worked well and nothing has been stolen that day. Mike of the Old Ranch Plantation reports that this last one is a killer, since all distinguished black fellows steal something almost every single day of their lives. He reports he doesn't have to spend much on free watermelon for his distinguished black fellows as a result. You should never allow your distinguished black fellow meal breaks while at work, since if it stops work for more than ten minutes it will need to be retrained. You would be surprised how long it takes to teach a distinguished black fellow to pick cotton. You really would. Coffee beans? Don't ask. You have no idea.

MAKING YOUR distinguished black fellow WORK.
distinguished black fellows are very, very averse to work of any kind. The distinguished black fellow's most prominent anatomical feature, after all, its oversized buttocks, which have evolved to make it more comfortable for your distinguished black fellow to sit around all day doing nothing for its entire life. distinguished black fellows are often good runners, too, to enable them to sprint quickly in the opposite direction if they see work heading their way. The solution to this is to *dupe* your distinguished black fellow into working. After installation, encourage it towards the cotton field with blows of a wooden club, fence post, baseball bat, etc., and then tell it that all that cotton belongs to a white man, who won't be back until tomorrow. Your distinguished black fellow will then frantically compete with the other field distinguished black fellows to steal as much of that cotton as it can before the white man returns. At the end of the day, return your distinguished black fellow to its cage and laugh at its stupidity, then repeat the same trick every day indefinitely. Your distinguished black fellow comes equipped with the standard distinguished black fellow IQ of 75 and a memory to match, so it will forget this trick overnight. distinguished black fellows can start work at around 5am. You should then return to bed and come back at around 10am. Your distinguished black fellows can then work through until around 10pm or whenever the light fades.

ENTERTAINING YOUR distinguished black fellow.
Your distinguished black fellow enjoys play, like most animals, so you should play with it regularly. A happy smiling distinguished black fellow works best. Games distinguished black fellows enjoy include: 1) A good thrashing: every few days, take your distinguished black fellow's pants down, hang it up by its heels, and have some of your other distinguished black fellows thrash it with a club or whip. Your distinguished black fellow will signal its intense enjoyment by shrieking and sobbing. 2) Lynch the distinguished black fellow: distinguished black fellows are cheap and there are millions more where yours came from. So every now and then, push the boat out a bit and lynch a distinguished black fellow.

Lynchings are best done with a rope over the branch of a tree, and distinguished black fellows just love to be lynched. It makes them feel special. Make your other distinguished black fellows watch. They'll be so grateful, they'll work harder for a day or two (and then you can lynch another one). 3) distinguished black fellow dragging: Tie your distinguished black fellow by one wrist to the tow bar on the back of suitable vehicle, then drive away at approximately 50mph. Your distinguished black fellow's shrieks of enjoyment will be heard for miles. It will shriek until it falls apart. To prolong the fun for the distinguished black fellow, do *NOT* drag him by his feet, as his head comes off too soon. This is painless for the distinguished black fellow, but spoils the fun. Always wear a seatbelt and never exceed the speed limit. 4) Playing on the PNL: a variation on (2), except you can lynch your distinguished black fellow out in the fields, thus saving work time. distinguished black fellows enjoy this game best if the PNL is operated by a man in a tall white hood. 5) Hunt the distinguished black fellow: a variation of Hunt the Slipper, but played outdoors, with Dobermans. WARNING: do not let your Dobermans bite a distinguished black fellow, as they are highly toxic.

DISPOSAL OF DEAD distinguished black fellows.
distinguished black fellows die on average at around 40, which some might say is 40 years too late, but there you go. Most people prefer their distinguished black fellows dead, in fact. When yours dies, report the license number of the car that did the drive-by shooting of your distinguished black fellow. The police will collect the distinguished black fellow and dispose of it for you.

COMMON PROBLEMS WITH distinguished black fellows - MY distinguished black fellow IS VERY AGGRESIVE
Have it put down, for god's sake. Who needs an uppity distinguished black fellow? What are we, short of distinguished black fellows or something?

MY distinguished black fellow KEEPS RAPING WHITE WOMEN
They all do this. Shorten your distinguished black fellow's chain so it can't reach any white women, and arm heavily any white women who might go near it.

WILL MY distinguished black fellow ATTACK ME?
Not unless it outnumbers you 20 to 1, and even then, it's not likely. If distinguished black fellows successfully overthrew their owners, they'd have to sort out their own food. This is probably why distinguished black fellow uprisings were nonexistent (until some fool gave them rights).

MY distinguished black fellow bitches ABOUT ITS "RIGHTS" AND "RACISM".
Yeah, well, it would. Tell it to shut the fuck up.

MY distinguished black fellow'S HIDE IS A FUNNY COLOR. - WHAT IS THE CORRECT SHADE FOR A distinguished black fellow?
A distinguished black fellow's skin is actually more or less transparent. That brown color you can see is the shit your distinguished black fellow is full of. This is why some models of distinguished black fellow are sold as "The Shitskin".

MY distinguished black fellow ACTS LIKE A distinguished black fellow, BUT IS WHITE.
What you have there is a "wigger". Rough crowd. WOW!

IS THAT LIKE AN ALBINO? ARE THEY RARE?
They're as common as dog shit and about as valuable. In fact, one of them was President between 1992 and 2000. Put your wigger in a cage with a few hundred genuine distinguished black fellows and you'll soon find it stops acting like a distinguished black fellow. However, leave it in the cage and let the distinguished black fellows dispose of it. The best thing for any wigger is a dose of TNB.

MY distinguished black fellow SMELLS REALLY BAD
And you were expecting what?

SHOULD I STORE MY DEAD distinguished black fellow?
When you came in here, did you see a sign that said "Dead distinguished black fellow storage"? .That's because there ain't no goddamn sign.

My Friday night: Go to bitchin', delicious, 8-course Italian dinner for my friend's birthday and then to my apartment for a quick power hour before we go clubbing. Winning, having a good time, watching shitty Japanese TV etc. Head to the train station to go to Roppongi around midnight to this semi-decent club that all of my friends are obsessed with but I hate (lol this is starting to sound like American Psycho). Pay distinguished mentally-challenged cover charge, check umbrella, head to the vip and order mad champagne, vodka, and redbulls. Mix all three together into some deliciously strong beverage I had never had before, start hitting on model-status girl at table next to us RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY GIRLFRIEND LIKE A TRUE JACKASS, and promptly black out. The next thing I remember, I'm being dragged out of the club by a huge African bouncer, who said something about Yakuza and girls. Next I'm throwing up out of a cab. Next I am in my bed and it is 11:00 am, and my girlfriend and birthday boy are slamming on the door telling me to open up. They had been waiting there for 3 hours. Apparently the first thing I said was "oh shit I'm in my apartment." Girlfriend is furious at me for apparently getting on every girl but her and I owe around $400 for my part of the booze. Epic Friday night fail.

In really really random talk, has it ever happened to anyone else that when you look at a girl that you know somewhat, you just have this feeling that you know you've made out/felt them up before? Like it would've had to have been blackout drunk, but you still somehow know it happened? It's really weird...

A dude just came up to me at 7 in the morning as I got to work about trying to find some place and being down and out and asked for money.  We don't really get that here - I think it's the first time I've ever encountered it - but I gave him $20.  Feel free to laugh at me everyone.

I did say "if you're taking me for a ride I hope you enjoy it" so I feel I'm at least one rung above the dumbest people in society.

Random dream time.

Last night, I had a dream where there was a kitten living underwater who used a straw to shoot poison-arrowed toothpicks at people. Fearsome creature.

Later, it was the second week of classes in college, but I had apparently only been to the MWF classes the first week. The Tues/Thurs (TR) classes were cancelled due to some weather event on Tuesday, and I was sick on Thursday. So I was already feeling like I was getting behind when I went to one of those TR classes the second week. When I walked in, it was my former manager where I used to work who was teaching the class. Right then, I contemplated what dropping the course would do to my plans for graduation, and I figured the worst that could happen is that they would be delayed a semester. Weighed against already falling behind and having to deal with my former manager, it seemed worth it.

Oh yeah, in real life, I graduated college 8 years ago.  :-\

I got called into work today 'cause the store owner is sick as a dog. When the postman dropped off the mail, he asked where the owner was, and I told him "He's home sick, hopefully not with H1N1."

That comment led to me getting a 15 minute lecture on the lies the government spreads, disinformation campaigns etc. and other tinfoil hat nuttery, using a very emphasized "THEY" before every statement. I swear he was even raising and lowering his eyebrows rapidly while he said it.

A couple weeks ago my uncle asked me to help him sell some stuff on craigslist - one of the many negatives of being a computer literate member of this family is that I'm asked to do any and everything. So I was like sure, just tell me what you need to sell. Well...he wants to sell a rolex watch appraised for $200,000. I briefly browsed some CL posts around my area and his (Detroit metro) and couldn't find anything close to that price. He gave me some Kodak pics of the watch...so I asked for him to send me pics online so I can actually include them in the add. Still haven't heard back from him. I gave him my email, sent him on, etc he hasn't responded...I think I've covered my bases, but I have a feeling I'm going to get bitched at.

From what I understand he found the watch at an airport last year. If I lost a watch worth that much money I'd be monitoring CL/ebay/appraisal stores/etc

To LJ a bit:

I have some new neighbors.  I've never met them but I've sure smelled them  :-X  I don't think they take out their trash.  It smells extremely bad over there.  I know they take out the trash because they dropped a coffee filter, complete with grounds, in the middle of the hallway.  Although two days later, they (or someone else) took the initiative in removing the filter but the grounds remain...well, on the ground.  The best way to describe the smell is rotting meat.

Not only that but they spend the entire day in the laundry room.  I know I'd like to spend my Saturdays lounging around in the laundry room!  It's a small family and the mother was screaming at the child in there.  I thought it was fucking hilarious but they spent all damn day in that one room.  It takes just an hour and 15 minutes to wash and dry.

As long as the smell doesn't waft into my apartment, I don't have a problem with it but when it does, I'm going to snitch on their asses.

I had neighbors like that about six months ago. The landlord came to find (once evicted due to being behind 3 Months rent) that they kept all their trash (in trash bags) in the small two bedroom 3rd floor apartment. I wish I took a picture of the trash heap in the backyard (once they cleared out the apartment) but the amount out there would have completely filled a mid sized room.

They kept them all in black garbage bags. I wondered if they just didn't want to pay for the city mandatory yellow bags (around $11 a pack). That's pretty stingy.

On the way home from church tonight, I spotted two deer off to the side of the road and wouldn't you know both of them decided to run across it as I was approaching. They darted across the road and I just knew I was going to slam into one or both of them. The road was wet, I jammed on the brakes but it was basically useless as I just slid right towards where their direction was going to take them. But somehow, by the grace of God, I missed them both. I kid you not, there couldn't have been more than a car's width between the two of them as they crossed the road, but somehow my trusty Mazda Tribute half-slid, half-drove through the middle of them.

I'm telling you, Bambi and his friend nearly bit it, and I about had a new car.

I dunno, I've never done a 60 hour week in ten years of being an accountant.  I'm in the middle of a busy period and still only work 7am to 6pm at most with a 1.5 hour lunch.

It really depends on what area of the profession you are in, what kind of person you are and who you work for.  I'd say it's the same for most jobs.

It's just understood when you go into accounting that you will work 60-80 hour work weeks during tax season. That's part of why the pay is so comparatively high.

Tax accountants only make up a portion of all accountants, so no, it's not understood that you'll work 60-80 hrs/wk during tax season. Most accountants only realize it's tax season because they get their W-2s and need to file their own returns.

As a tax accountant, I work 75 hours/wk minimum, 7 days a week, right before and during tax season, but really that's only because I'm a manager. I like it, and I'm kind of a workaholic so it fits. Years of full time school and two jobs have my body used to leaving the house at 8am and not getting home until after midnight, so working 9-9 isn't bad. Plus I'm bouncing around offices, so I'm not just stuck in one desk with a cube full of paperwork with no one to talk to. I go to an office, train/talk to employees, talk to clients, answer tax questions, make sure everything runs smoothly, then go to another office. From April until October, I only work 30 hours a week, and even when I'm there, it's totally laid back.  8)

Hmm, what branch of accounting are you in? And what location? It's possible that these guys are exaggerating the tax-season hours, but most of them made it seem like life from January to May was absolute hell.

I don't think they're necessarily exaggerating, it's just different depending on what you're doing.  I'm in public accounting, do accounts and tax returns for small businesses, and we're basically at the same volume of work all year.  In Australia if a firm only did individual tax returns for example they would be much more busy in July to December than January to June though.

I can't speak for everyone (although I'm sure they were thinking the same thinkg), but I figured you'd return with brief comment about your failure after which we'd all ask for an explanation. Thus setting off a mixture of joke posts, sympathy, and references to your past failures.

One of my college friends, who is the second highest-paid recent-grad that I know (excluding the accountants and engineers, who had terrible college experiences and now have shitty lives, so their salaries don't count), is leaving his job to go pursue another opportunity that's a lot closer to what he wants to do for a long-term career. He wants to recommend me to replace him. I was pretty excited about it, because the job comes with a pretty good title and he was making $54k a year with full benefits. He told me I probably wouldn't start that high, since he had been there over a year, but I would still be making good money if I got the job.

Today he shot me an email. They want to hire his replacement on at $35k a year without benefits. Now I know that he had a year of experience to get to that salary, but he started at $44k. So if I get this job, not only would I be making nearly $20k a year less than my friend was making to do the same job, I'd be making almost $10k less than he started at a year ago, and I wouldn't get health insurance to boot.

Economic recession  :piss2

Companies that use the recession as an excuse to fuck over low to mid level employees :piss2

I'll still take it if I can get it, because it's a business analyst position, which looks a lot better on a resume than "customer support representative," which is the other job I've been offered, both of which look better than a second year of teaching English abroad.

You can either hold out for more now if the job looks like you've got a lock on it, or you can take the current offer and then bail in a year with that applicable experience under your belt. When you find your initial alternate choices, let them know that you'll be moving on due to finding a job with such-and-such salary and benefits. They may counteroffer.

As an engineer, we generally think LAS majors are only meant if you're for sure going to pursue a masters, a doctorate, or a professional school (like law school).  Otherwise, it is like another four years of high school.  I'm not bragging but whenever I had to take an LAS class, I'd show up to class half the time (unless there was an attendance policy, in which case, I'd go in the back corner and read the New York Times) and only do work the night before or day it was due.  I'd always get an A because I knew what the teacher wanted.  If it was a commie pinko teacher, I'd just knock out a five page ramble about how white male theists ruined society.  My European politics teacher was an EU policy wonk - I focused on that.  It seemed like LAS teachers were always about doing what they wanted to hear.

Engineering wasn't bad unless you wanted a 4.0.  Still, there were a lot of painful moments and times where I had to spend 5-6 hours a day doing homework while my accounting roommates put in one, maybe two hours.  Those times sucked.  I made it a bit easier by extending my graduation by a semester.  Taking 14-15 credits instead of 17-18 was a life saver - especially those high level weedout courses where the professor only cared about assigning the most extremely difficult questions and ignoring the simple concept questions so we could get some kind of understanding as to how these concepts work.  I'm glad my job involves almost none of this - I'm virtually an accountant at this point - tracking expenses down to the gnat's ass and getting bitchy about spending money we don't need to in order to secure a bonus, which I will be getting next month.

If I could do it all over again, I'd try to get into financial engineering, writing algorithms for wall street trading.

So now it's 10am and I have no idea what to do with myself.  Too early to waste the day gaming or watch a movie.

Having summers off is lot like that, and then having a wife who works all summer makes it even more interesting.

"Do I acknowledge the fact that it's 6am and she's getting up for work, or do I act like I'm still asleep?"

"Do I tell her that I've sat around and surfed the web and played videogames? Oh crap she'll be home in an hour I better take a shower!"

Well, sorry for school rants, I know we have a lot of those here....just hoping this will get some things off my chest.

I just had the worst fucking day and I'm freezing up badly. I was freaking out last night as I realized I know nothing about anything, despite working hard as hell this semester. slept about 3 hours. I made it to my first class and had no fucking clue what was going on.  The prof may as well have been speaking in swahili (it was a lecture on burden/benefit under horizontal privity/ vertical privity etc.)  My next class is about 2 hours after and it was the longest two hour break of my life.  I was just walking all around school, smoked about half a pack of cigarettes, wanted to cry/throw-up the whole time, my legs were quivering. I couldn't focus on studying or writing and just wanted to go home so badly.  The people I've met here are of no help really, but I can't blame them because it's a sensitive time for everyone. No one needs to see another person completely fucking lose it on them.  But I did make it to my class and here I sit...

I think I'll snap out of it when I go home on Wednesday morning and see my family.  The problem is, finals are in three weeks, so every day counts. There's nothing I'd like to do more right now than to do absolutely nothing.  Yet, I've got arguably more work ahead of me in the next 3 weeks than I've had to do all semester.  god fucking dammit...

It sucks because I spent the last week studying 3-5 hours a day, more time than I have ever spent studying for something, and I might still bomb it.

This reminds me of the movie Road Trip where the protagonist had a huge exam to take in 5 hours, and his intellectual stoner friend taught him an entire semesters worth of material using nothing but wrestling metaphors.  Too bad Malek doesn't follow wrestling, I guess.

Something is fucked up with my car.  Every once in a while, it locks up, with the battery light and oil light on at the same time.  I have trouble steering, accelerating, or braking (which is the worrying part) when they all light up.  Fuck.  Normal drive home is about 15 minutes but with all of that shit, it took about 45 minutes.

I can't look at the car now as it is dark.  I'll try my luck to see if I can find anything up with it tomorrow.

Getting drunk feels good. You don't need to masturbate or watch porn either, but it feels good when your penis snot comes out. It feels good when you drink a few brews too, like you've jacked off except your whole body feels that way. Nothing wrong with that.

You didn't answer my question. What is your exposure to alcohol? If it's nothing but cheap beers like Miller Lite, that answer is not good enough.

Mainly scotch, vodka, hard mikes, and some other stuff I don't remember

I don't like hard stuff by itself, so I always mix it. Try a White Russian, or Whiskey mixed with some coke. Delicious.

With the exception of the word "Whiskey," everything else you posted was dripping with gay subtext.

Himuro, when did you start drinking?

I used to drink quite often at parties, and I recently got back into it after shunning religion.

Maurice, give me your address and I'll ship you a bottle of Mint Chocolate Baileys as a Christmas e-bro present.

That's the point. It's not supposed to taste JUST like egg nog. It's supposed to taste like egg nog flavored alcohol. And it's DELICIOUS. What's the point of drinking alcohol without a buzz? If they didn't have the sting you wouldn't even get tipsy unless you drank a shit ton. By mixing the hard drink with the liqueur, you end up with a more delicious, but still alcoholic drink. Best of both worlds!

I don't drink to get drunk anymore... and if I'm in a pissy mood, I will not drink at all. Since that usually makes things worse (and will cause me to binge drink). So right now, its mostly wine and the occasional pint.

Back to back posting in this bitch:

I tried looking at my car to see if there is proper coolant and oil levels (it is)  When starting my car, it made a knocking sound.  Looks like it isn't just a drained battery  :'(

I guess I'll have to get my car fixed again.  In the spring time, I'll unload it, and never buy an American car again, well, from an American brand name that is.  Probably a mid 2000's Honda Civic.  I got enough of dem dere savings to buy it outright but I might put 50% down.

Nope.  I don't use the radio because I stupidly blew out the bass a while back while rocking out to Phil Collins' Greatest Hits (not sure if that was the specific title but that is what it is).  No lights were on or around that time either.  Doesn't explain the knocking engine either.

Although I'd much rather hope for an (inexpensive) battery change out than some expensive engine issue.

I tried getting into wine but couldn't.  If I were to be an alcoholfag over anything, I'd be a beerfag.  A good friend of mine used to go on vacations to Colorado and load up on what they had for microbreweries there.  A few friends and I would put a bunch of money in and get a cornucopia of various Colorado microbrewery beers.  I'm sure there are better places to get beer than Colorado but most of what the microbreweries had to offer there was fucking amazing.  Another friend who lived in the Twin Cities would load up on Belgian and German beer, which was great as well.

That and I like very cheap vodka, the kind that takes paint off a car.  Probably because I drank so much of it when I was underage and we'd all buy the cheapest shit possible.

Thinking of Bocsius's desire to leave where he works, I did find another job opportunity inside the company I work at.  I'd closer to family, friends, and more opportunity to move up in the company.  The best part is that I get paid for overtime.  No more 60 hour weeks unless I'm given time and a half for 20 of them.  No pay cuts either.  I had my boss put in a good word.  I'm orchestrating for his boss (my boss's boss) to put in another word as well.  My biggest fear is if I keep getting more and more people to put in those good words, then I overplay my interest in the job.  Then again, it is all about who you know, not what you know and the more recommendations I get from middle and upper management, the better off I might be (?)

It almost makes up for my shitty car situation.  Almost.

I had a good day and night.  Saw stanford get their asses kicked and then saw some pooper get his ass literally kicked at a UFC ppv sausage-fest party.  Then we then we decided to break out a bong and watch Super Trooper Unrated(!).  I was packing it so I made it fairly loosely packed like normal but my friend told me that that was 3 bowls worth so I'm not as high as I would like to be.  Anyways, I just got home and took a really satisfying shit just 5 minutes ago.  Very nice time.

About PD's opinion on alcohol/drugs, it totally makes sense.  I like to get fucked up but I only do drugs if I'm going to do something that I probably couldn't enjoy otherwise.  I mean, I consider getting high and watching Super Troopers a great memory but that is entirely because I was impairing my brain.  Personally, I like the idea of enjoying things that I shouldn't be enjoying.  I actually never drink though because that's both a food and drug and it's a bad idea to mix two vices.

Weed is pretty overrated on the internets.  Kind of like getting laid - it is good but not as good as people hype it to be.

The biggest downside of toking and drinking is that it is pretty expensive.  Unless you want to drink paint thinner disguised as alcohol and smoke brick pack Mexican garbage, you're going to have to fork over a decent amount of money to get drunk or high.  During a summer, I smoked decent weed daily.  Not multiple times a day, just once after working.  I had a hard time explaining to my parents where all the money went when I had to ask them to spot me a couple hundred.  At that moment, I calculated that I smoked up almost two grand over the course of three months.  After thinking of the many, many better uses I could have spent that money, I went from a daily smoker to once in a great while (like 2-3 times a month at most)  Once I started looking into internships (drug testing), I dropped it entirely and never really looked back.

I've cut back on the drinking.  I was seriously into lifting for a while and the estrogenic sides to alcohol made me cut down.  I thought about being a winefag but I don't care for reds.  Whites, I can tolerate better but even then, it isn't my bag.  I could be a beerfag but there isn't much of a beer scene in my area.  With my new job transfer, I will be in a more populous area, where there might be a small beer community.

Mid-term madness is over, just one more tomorrow for Japanese grammar (:O). Had a pretty awesome / cheap / relatively relaxed weekend, starting with pool + vodka in Shibuya on Friday night followed by ¥150 beers, after which I was sufficiently blitzed. Yesterday I went to Yokohama to meet up with a family friend from back home who grew up there. She gave me and a friend a bitchin' tour of the area (especially Chinatown)-- Yokohama seems like a more relaxed, less claustrophobic Tokyo, and it was definitely nice to get out, even if I was only 30 minutes away from home. I'll be back in a couple weeks for clothes and Christmas shopping. Today I unintentionally slept in until 2:30, attempted to study to no avail, and managed to get absolutely nothing done at all until around 9. I couldn't even tell you what I did today. I tried to study, couldn't focus for shit, and I still can't focus for shit. Maybe I'm just super tired or something. Anyway, it is now 1:56 am and I've somehow managed to learn a bunch of Japanese verbs. The mid-term is at 9:15 tomorrow morning.

Earlier today I also made the mistake of introducing my girlfriend to Zelda: TP Wii as a decoy so I could study, which she's been playing since 7. Awesome. Probably no way I'll ever finish Uncharted 2 now.

I got my studying out the way, I'm ready to rock no worries :rock

Oh and I plan on ending group project bullshit on monday. I've calculated my grade and assuming I continue to get good grades on my finance tests, I can flunk the group project/presentation and still get an A in the class. Can't be said of my group mates, who have had me do the majority of the work on our last two projects. Teacher doesn't give a fuck, despite me complaining. So tomorrow I'm going to get up there and say "I did my work, but I decided not to bring it to class. I'm not planning on carrying other people to a passing grade again. So you can fail our group, I'm still going to pass this class."

Fuck group projects, and fuck teachers who refuse to allow students to choose their own partners

In the past, I dealt with them by giving them the most mundane, minute tasks ever without cluing them in to what the rest of us were doing.  If I did the work alone, I'd never bother to tell the rest of the group the details.  An example, two girls in a group of mine never did work and didn't show up to class.  So I and the other person who did work presented and one of the two girls, had her mouth agape when we rolled out the presentation without her.  She just sat back and look stunned and pissed.  When the professor asked where the rest of the group was, I gave an "I dunno lol" look.  I'm guessing she texted her friend because she bolted in at the last five minutes.

IIRC, they got partial credit on it because while we proved to the professor that they didn't do shit nor showed a desire for it, the professor didn't like how we went about the presentation if a group member was in the audience while presenting.

Group projects suck.  Smart teachers grade students independently even in a group project.  Grading the group as one is the worst.

Last semester I had one of those and even after all the planning we did, he screwed up, so I had to go back and write more to balance out the mistakes and make it work.  Then had to spend time editing it after all was said and done.  The worst is that I work extra hard on group projects because I don't want the failure to be on me.  All I got out of the project was the teacher handing me back the paper, glancing at the grade (96/100 :pimp) before giving it to the partner and knowing that I'm done with that shit.

Oh college is bullshit if you want to look at it that way.  The general requirements for a liberal arts education?  Definitely.  But if you go into a program you really love and meet a lot of people in the industry through that way, it's an awesome way to, you know, form connections and begin your networking for your future career.

But yeah group work is awful.

total bullshit, preach on brotha

Usually I try to separate the big work between myself and whoever the most trust worthy person in the group is; the other 1-2 people are given easy shit to do. But they can't even do that.

"alright, how about you do our cover sheet and the works cited page..."
"uh sure"
1 week later
"hey did you finish the stuff?"
"what stuff lol"
"the cover sheet....works cited page...?"
"oh when is that due"

I do all of that stuff anyway  :shh

I hated it when we'd assign the easy shit because it would get done but to say it was half assed was a notch or two above what these people would often put out.  People who can't master punctuation or the differences between they're/there/their or your/you're.  That is when I whip out my backup.  The person who did the crappy work looks like they feel bad for a second and then move on.  I never really bothered telling the professors because I feel that their half assed work ethic will catch up to them sooner or later.  Some of the people wound up dropping out so I'm assuming it did come to a head for a few of them.

BrandNew: I made quite a few connections but it was rarely with people I did group work with.  The genuine connections I made was usually the friends who I was a semester ahead/behind on.  That and sucking the right cocks and fondling the right set of balls here and there.  College is great for making those connections and taking advantage of opportunities but it is muddled in hip deep amounts of bullshit that you won't realize is bullshit until you graduated and are at a job related to your education.  Probably moreso if you have a job not related to your education.  Oh well.

I usually got great groups for projects except for English 2.  It was just 2 fuckups out of 6 people but boy were they some fuckups.  The day before the project, we wrote out a detailed outline for their part in the presentation which was just a couple paragraphs with no memorization.

The next day, the fuckups don't show up at our meeting that was a half hour before class.  I half-expected that though and my partners and I just type out and paste on the fuck-ups parts onto the poster board and we re-split our presentation segments.  When we go up to present, the teacher asks us where the fuck-ups are and I try to get sympathy and say that they were probably sick today since we just talked to them yesterday and they had "their work done already" (even though it was done by us), but she saw through that because she knew that they were fuck-ups and most likely bailed.  Somehow, she pulls a bullshit solution out of her ass and decides to give us all a 0 because there's no proof that they did any work or something.  That was 1/6 of our grade and I'm trying to calculate how much my gpa will be fucked up by this but she says that she'll be "nice" and just drop us one letter grade, giving me a fucking B overall in an easy A class.

I don't mind getting a B at all if I earned it, but why the fuck does that kind of bullshit happen in a easy A GE course?

the difference is that college is dumb and you need to take a bunch of shitty courses to be eligible to take other shitty courses so you can finally satisfy a requirement for your major.  A good deal of the students in these classes don't give a shit or understand that it usually means they'll have to retake that course in another semester and ultimately ruin their GPA.  If it was in a class I took because I thought the subject was interesting, then maybe it will be a better situation.  Besides, dealing with the real world would involve sucking off the teacher to get a passing grade, then black mailing them into getting a bonus.

i was a double major in lit and cs, with a minor in math. got a masters in cs, no thesis option because i am teh lazy.

How many years did it take you to achieve all of that? I need a reference.

Probably 6-7, depending on the amount of "lazy."

I wish I had done CS in retrospect. I think I would have received a better exposure to general programming theory. Instead, I did ISOM, and we didn't deal in object oriented programming at all and learned VB. To which, I copy/paste this quote:

"It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration."

Had to take a bunch of business courses to go along with it, not much math (not much math in business... makes sense). On the other hand, I think the ISOM route was better regarding working with databases, but I guess that would probably depend on the school.

I'm going to be an eternal student.  I got everything lined up to start on my second major in EE.  Then I'll do an MBA (although they hand those out like candy; it will get to the point where you need to have one much like the Bachelor's Degree is the new High School diploma) and get a JD.  I like independent learning but the post collegiate world is boring.  I need some mental stimulation.

Until the 10th grade, there was nothing I wanted to do more than CS.  Until I took two C++ courses.  And that was that.

I sort of got sullied by a comp sci course I took with a companion C-programming lab during my freshman year of college.

I was a pre-business student at UNC-Charlotte and registered for classes late for my second semester and needed an elective. I added CSC whatever number it was after classes had already started. Anyway, I missed the first lab (or was it 2?) and was already behind, and then I missed another not very long into it after being out all night and then having car trouble on top of it so I couldn't make it back to campus in time for that 8 AM lab on Monday morning. I was behind, I had no prior exposure to programming, didn't understand it, I wasn't going to be a computer science student anyway, it was only an elective... so I stopped doing the lab portion altogether, keeping the classroom lecture portion (they were graded seperately).

It wasn't until a few semesters later when I had transferred to UNC-Greensboro and had declared as a marketing major that I had a change of thought and looked at ISOM (Information Systems/Operations Management), which was still within the business school so all my "common body of knowledge" coursework wouldn't have been wasted. Marketing wasn't for me, ISOM looked attractive, so I started down that path and it actually took. But, again, it skimped on the work that a CS student would have had to do. We did two (2!) courses on working with Microsoft Office. Seriously. Took a database class which taught us database theory and SQL, took a class on advanced Microsoft Access (seriously), two programming courses using Visual Basic, a networking class, a class dealing with ecommerce and ASP (this was pre .NET), and a course dealing in "operations management" (if I would have concentrated on the OM side, there would have been more of these, but I did the IS side). The last course was a project where we built a database application for the mythical tracking of birds for 100% of our grade.

I then graduated, 9/11 happened, economy went into the crapper (well, it was considered bad at the time), couldn't land a decent job, stopped looking, and settled for status quo* for a few years. I finally got motivated to get going again, decided to learn .NET and C#, and my career path is 2+ years back on the upswing. But I still feel like I've missed out on a more rounded programming background.



*During this time, I worked at a job I already had while in college. I continued programming, but it was not 100% of the time, and it was mostly limited to VBA. Towards the end of my time there after I was already teaching myself .NET, a couple of us were given licenses to Visual Studio 2005 with no real mandate as to what we were supposed to do with it. So I did some prototype work, rebuilding some of the reporting tools I had created with Access/VBA, and left to become an ASP.NET developer** 2 years ago.


**Knowing what I know now, there is no way I should have gotten the job I have now***. Despite teaching myself .NET and doing some prototype work at my prior job, I knew far less than I thought I did but at least no one was around to know better. After my second week on the job, they cut the other contracter who was there and I was left to work alone and do my own on-the-job training.


***The same one I'm dying to leave, as it turns out. I want to work on more substantive applications and be a part of a team. I'm now confident in my abilities, but I also want to be able to exchange ideas from time to time and learn from people obviously more experienced than I am.

I don't get these stories of people not even showing up for presentations. Yes, I have certainly been in group dynamics where a couple of us did the work and a couple would show up at random times for group meetings, but at least everyone was there for the presentation. In fact, it was unheard of for anyone in any group to miss a presentation. I mean, we never considered that a possibility.

Sometimes the presentation is worth like 10% of the overall project and no shows figured they can make it with a B.

=====================================

The only reason why I picked civil engineering is because it was the easiest engineering that I knew of at the time (I forgot all about construction and industrial aka imaginary engineering) and knew that there were stable careers that could be made off of it.

The biggest beef I had with c++ is that I didn't feel like combing through code to find various bugs.  I liked writing it and I liked the theory of fixing those bugs but it clashed with my top priority at the time, which was to do nothing.  I spent more time at candystand.com during my c++ classes than doing any kind of c++.  That and stickdeath.com.

My whole academic career has been about doing the absolute bare minimum possible while making it look like I'm taking challenging courses.  I did Graphic Design for a year but there was no mental stimulation.  The teacher had a certain slant and the only way to ace the project was to just conform to their tastes.  One professor was a big minimalist so everything I did in his class was heavy on the minimalism.  The upside is that I met a lot of good people and smoked a lot of good bud - both which were lacking in engineering, sadly.

I had a prof who made the presentation worth 5% and on presentation day, everybody in the class said they were willing to accept the hit on their project (because it was a pain in the ass project that was difficult and the prof wanted a full powerpoint presentation on it.)  So the prof got pissed, decided it was now worth 15% of the grade and gave us the weekend to put it together.  That was probably the biggest load of bullshit I dealt with in undergrad...

It was for a computer networking course, which I got an A in but scared me away from doing anything computer related.

I don't think there was any such thing as programming classes in my high school.

I took a computer applications course and we worked on machines that ran whatever there was before Microsoft Office. And Windows, for that matter, because these things were barely more than dumb terminals. We did word processing, spreadsheets, and I think we even worked a bit with databases but for the life of me I can't remember the names of the applications themselves except to say they weren't GUI.

Of course, we had access to computers for most of my time through grade school, I'm not that old. But most of it for the first few years was to play Oregon Trail on Apple IIe machines, and possibly whatever came before those. I think my first encounter with Windows was in an Accounting class in 11th grade. That was probably 3.1 because, of course, that would have been 1993-1994 and there was no Win95.

At any rate, access to computers were largely limited (with the exception of that trip to the computer lab once in a while) other than in those aforementioned courses. There wasn't a computer in the home, either, until I was already in college.

Sounds like these people are getting it the wrong way round. My strategy was always to try and do as little work with the group as possible and then turn up on the day and ask for my lines.

One time a girl in the group told the professor I wasn't pulling my weight which really fucked me off so I paid her out until she was in tears. It was true, but still it's a dick move, if she had a problem she could've talked to me first.

:lol  ballsy and funny because I wasn't in your group.  but I always hated it when time came to confront the person who didn't do anything and they'd get ticked off and act like there was nothing for them to do.  I didn't go straight to the professor though, that's a bitch move...I'd talk to the group slacker a lot and try to get them to do small stuff. 

But the worst is people who flat out give up.  In that same project for the networking class, one guy was super depressed and didn't want to do his part because he was going to drop out or something.  The problem was that he had all the material for his part with him, so me and another guy couldn't do the part if we wanted and it was the night before the project was due when we realized he hadn't done shit.  So I had to spend time chatting with him on AIM and telling him he had a lot to live for and shit  :-\  He was kind of a friend before the project but I don't think I spoke with him much after that.

I always offered upfront to do the most boring, tedious part of a project, because secretly, I usually like that part the most. Usually I'd take on the final part of the project where we'd combine everybody's parts, so I'd basically have final say on what was submitted because I'm secretly a control freak.

Then everybody else felt bad from the beginning and tried to make up for the fact that I was doing more work than them, so their part always ended up being pretty good.   8)

The way my college career went, individual projects were the norm for 100 and 200 classes, group projects were the norm for 300 and 400 classes. There were, of course, group projects as a freshman and sophomore and individual projects as a junior and senior, but there was a definite emphasis on collaborative work in higher level courses.

I had a handful throughout college.  They went a little better at UW-Madison than at community college.  

Thankfully we don't have them in law school, though we have group exercises in my writing class.  People usually don't say anything and stare at their papers going "hmmmmm" until someone breaks the ice...nobody ever wants to be first.  A friend and I usually come to some quick conclusion, then sit there writing nihilistic and angry comments about group work and the class in general. fun stuff.

That's pretty much how the compsci department here operates too. 

The only group project I ever had in Comp Sci was in my Principles of Software Engineering class, a 400 level course... the whole class revolved around the whole software lifecycle of a giant group project. Wasn't so bad, since by the time you got to the 400 level CS course, most of the slackers had been weeded out already. The most ironic thing was that I 'led' the group and managed everyone... since I'm usually pretty quiet and introverted in person.

He is the alpha male for a group of guys that went on vacation together, and they have the collective maturity of a game lobby for Halo 3.

Despite my best efforts, she ends up hanging on this guy's arm for a few days - until he inevitably bangs not one or two, but three different broads. She finally catches on, stops talking to the loser, and we end up connecting near the tail end of the trip. Before I could seal the deal as it were, he swoops in with some ridiculous John Cusack-level bullshit and she leaves with him.

And I was close. I'm talking, garments were being taken off. She had my tie. She still has my tie.

I miss that tie.

So, it's now almost six months later, and this guy, who I not only dislike, but tried to punch of a friend of mine in the face and humiliate a few girls that did not fit in with his mail order catalog crowd, wants me to add him to Facebook. It's like the ultimate insult. And guess who our only mutual friend is? Her. The vacation broad. It's like, he is trying to e-slap me, by reminding me of my failures almost half a year later.

Fuck you, Facebook.

Kranz, I've got something similar going on.

I've been so stressed from work, and I got invited to dinner at a country club by someone who may be a valuable industry contact in the near future. Still, he was flexible with the reservations, but I decided I'd rather eat prime rib and play Modern Warfare 2 than watch a movie at this broad's place.

This is actually the third time I have done this to her. She probably won't call me back after I text her tomorrow morning.

Still pals, we hang at school all the time.  We get along pretty well because we're both incurably asocial and eccentric.  I don't see her much outside of school, which is a shame because she's the most intriguing person I've met in years.

Sometimes that's just how its gotta be.  Sucks in my situation, since I don't normally have women after me.  Pretty sure this girl thinks I'm nuts because I was into hanging out at first, but then I was like "sorry, umm, let me get back to ya after finals. i'm distinguished mentally-challenged."

Because I tie asocial with the word anti-social, and for some reason I always liken "eccentric" with "unique". It's hard for me to picture someone who tends to avoid social situations while also being eccentric, although their core definitions compliment one another.

I see what you mean.  like if someone isn't social, or has never been social, then they might just be kind of boring because they wouldn't have much life experience to discuss.  I'm more interested in those kinds of people...I find people who don't want to be part of things way more interesting than people who fit in well, I guess.  When I was a sociology major, I always did projects on subcultures and stuff.

Asocial is more like you could be social if you wanted to, but just choose not to participate for whatever reason.  Anti-social is like getting angry when you see people having fun. :lol   This girl and I are the former.  I'm definitely more slow going and not as into the kind of superficial conversation that's necessary to stay acquainted with everyone in class.  I'd rather not talk at all than pretend like I care about sports, drinking, and gossiping.  I'm not sure what's going on in her head...she's actually really charismatic, but just doesn't care to make an effort with anyone else at school.  

Eccentricity is tougher to pin point.  That would require a lot of paragraphs and I wanna go play some dragon age!   I guess one indicator is that I had fun liveblogging Showdown in Little Tokyo last night.  It's the kind of thing my friends would see and ignore cause they know I would do something distinguished mentally-challenged like that :lol

I'm down with small talk but I have a hard time relating to a lot of my co-workers.  My co-workers at my previous job - we could talk anything and we did: politics, movies, smoking weed, drinking, etc.   The co-workers I have now spend most of their conversation talking about their wives (or husbands), their children, and one upping each other in the rat race.  I feel out of place and personal relationships with them suffered badly as a result (although work relationships are tight).  It feels weird being an asocial outcast because you get all paranoid and shit, wondering what they might think of you.  However inside of the company, I'm doing better than I ever have before, which is weird.

Engineering was completely dull: 70% of conversations revolved around classes and their grades specifically.  A 90% was considered "not horrible" but implied that that you were reaching that point of being horrible.  The other 30% of conversations were about internships: what they did last summer, what they are going to do next summer, and what they might do next summer if they don't have one already.  Most engineers I knew were apolitical but were often conservative.  I was one of the few atheist socialist engineers in my program.

I like posting on the forums but it is a separate world.  I like to keep them worlds separate in regards to friends, family, work, and internet forums.  Each one is its own thing.  I find this works the best because of past instances of drama (that did not affect me) when they would occasionally spill into one another.

I went on vacation. One of the girls I started talking to, and connect rather well with, ends up pairing up with this Abercrombie and Fitch-wearing man whore with Top Gun sunglasses. He is the alpha male for a group of guys that went on vacation together, and they have the collective maturity of a game lobby for Halo 3.

Despite my best efforts, she ends up hanging on this guy's arm for a few days - until he inevitably bangs not one or two, but three different broads. She finally catches on, stops talking to the loser, and we end up connecting near the tail end of the trip. Before I could seal the deal as it were, he swoops in with some ridiculous John Cusack-level bullshit and she leaves with him.

And I was close. I'm talking, garments were being taken off. She had my tie. She still has my tie.

So, it's now almost six months later, and this guy, who I not only dislike, but tried to punch of a friend of mine in the face and humiliate a few girls that did not fit in with his mail order catalog crowd, wants me to add him to Facebook. It's like the ultimate insult. And guess who our only mutual friend is? Her. The vacation broad. It's like, he is trying to e-slap me, by reminding me of my failures almost half a year later.

She finally catches on, stops talking to the loser, and we end up connecting near the tail end of the trip. Before I could seal the deal as it were, he swoops in with some ridiculous John Cusack-level bullshit and she leaves with him.

And I was close. I'm talking, garments were being taken off. She had my tie. She still has my tie.

I miss that tie.

So, it's now almost six months later, and this guy, who I not only dislike, but tried to punch of a friend of mine in the face and humiliate a few girls that did not fit in with his mail order catalog crowd, wants me to add him to Facebook. It's like the ultimate insult. And guess who our only mutual friend is? Her. The vacation broad. It's like, he is trying to e-slap me, by reminding me of my failures almost half a year later.

Fuck you, Facebook.

Ouch, Will... that's really harsh :(

Yeah that sucks... but the mental imagery it evokes is pretty hilarious. :lol

My boss just sent me a bunch of internet copyright infringement emails. Look them up as requested (he must have gotten a subpoena or something) and its the same guy each time.

Guy downloaded the following:

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
My Favorite Babysitters 20
Pirates 2 (the porno one)
Rain: by Creed
Bakers Dozen 8
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2

.... Now my boss expects me to call this guy and explain to him that hes been caught and that he needs to remove all these things from his computer. Sigh.

Dinner meeting went well. I ate way too much and rung up a hefty tab (four beers, four Jack and Coke's, and one Irish coffee). I feel like I've gained back the five pounds I lost the last two weeks.

This was just round one:

Cramming is so dangerous for me. Often I'll start then get distracted, and two hours later I haven't done shit. I remember one time started studying around 3am and thirty minutes later I was watching The Wire clips on youtube. Couple hours later I barely had anything done, and I barely passed the test later that day.

This was the saddest thanksgiving ever.  I barely talked to my family and was either resting with my eyes closed or sitting there with an outline in front of me. :lol   Had a good pep talk from my brother (he's also a lawyer) though and made it through most of my contracts outline today, so I'm feeling much better about my situation.  As opposed to yesterday where I was ready to cry pretty much all day.

Fuck that noise, I live 2 blocks from that hotel and I'll get drunk here for ¥1000, thank you very much. Besides, isn't throwing your own birthday party a little weird? Just sayin'.

Going to get Itarian food for dinner near my house and then finish Uncharted 2 and start something else. Any suggestions as to what I should finish first from this list? I want to get it done in time for FFXIII next month:
-Muramasa
-Tales of Vesperia
-Blue Dragon
-Ninja Blade
-Halo Wars
-Lost Planet
-Super Mario Galaxy (I've already pretty much finished it, but I'm thinking about replaying  :-X)

Honestly leaning towards Blue Dragon, I want a chill RPG after the fucking intense stress-off that is Uncharted 2.

This year has pretty much sucked.  The only exception is that I made good money so I was able to pay off all of my debts (except school loans) and get about $25,000 in savings.  Unfortunately, it came at the expense of just about everything else but maybe it was needed.

I can't be the only one, who, after being with a couple of women, still hasn't been "in love". I think there's only one woman I can think of that'd fit that description for me personally, but I'm hesitant to call it "love" as opposed to infatuation.

I wanted to do something today, but I ended up lying in bed until 2 pm and now I have a stomachache and just want to curl up into a ball in a corner. I made myself a sandwich, took two bites, and threw it in the garbage.

That's so depressing.

Yeah, that was pretty brutal.

Ok, I'm going to continue reading Europe: A History, play some MW2 or AC2, and then probably go out and get drunk tonight.

Maybe I'll go visit my buddy who's basically stuck at home since he just got his tonsils out. I haven't seen his parents in a while either. Good people.

Batting cages are awesome.  There is one shitty mini-golf place I used to go to that had an awesome line up.  It helped balance out how bad the mini-golf was there.

There was some place I used to go as a kid that had go-karts and batting cages, but I feel like it's about 30 minutes away and I haven't been there in probably a decade. I'm not even sure if it's still open. In fact, I'm pretty sure the reason I stopped going is because it closed. :(

I'd probably be depressed at how bad I've gotten. When I played ball in HS, I would use a wood bat in the fastest cage and slap the ball around. Now I'd no doubt use an aluminum bat and hit in the 60 mph cage. :-\

There used to a ton of batting cages, arcades and places nearby when I was a kid. Now, not so much. =/

Today's plan: Take some photographs, cook dinner, go see Precious, hit up the batting cages, drink some beer with friends, play Street Fighter.

Not going to one store. Take that, corporate America!

laser tag  :lol

I remember how big that was.  There was one place called Qzar or something and people would talk about how you could unlock power ups like a lazer rocket launcher and shit like that, as if that meant anything.

Then there is paintball, which is like...there is a 10 year old wearing sniper camo barking orders at you, and you listen because he has paint grenades.  paint grenades.

When I was a kid, near my house, there was a place that had a giant arcade, laser tag, billiards and an roller skating rink all together. It was AWESOME. And they had those novelty rides, like that gyro thing people would get inside and suffer in. Big screen arcade units. 3D arcade units. Classic 2D beat 'em ups. It was on the second floor of the Rio, which is like warehouse size.

If you got bored of that, you could roller skate, play laser tag or shoot pool.

And you could get tickets, and trade them in for amazing prizes.

It was bliss. I spent many a weekend there.

ive only really been talking about it with #eb but i got diagnosed with atherosclerosis about a month and a half ago and have been in and out of surgeries trying to figure out why and where the blockage is thats making the toes on my right foot numb and blue

the limp in my left leg is from complications from surgery i had last wednesday, an angiogram, they made me spend the night in the hospital a day ago and since then its 100% better, at least i can lay down on my back now without being uncomfortable and shifting every 5 or 10 seconds

its an old mans disease and is mystifying doctors, i have to stop smoking or ill die in 5-10 years, i havent worn proper shoes in almost 2 months (just house shoes), and now i cant even handle the elastic band in sweatpants (the pair im in right now are cut)

I'm going to have to take this stupid thing to a mechanic just to get a headlight replaced. I had a brake light out a couple of months ago, was absolutely trivial to change it. Headlight? Not so much.

and my flight leaves in five hours. I was threatened with immediate repatriation on my way over here because I didn't have the girl who was picking me up's address, nor had I printed out my return ticket yet (dumb, I know, but I'd been busy). Once I get back I have to meet to work on a *gasp* group presentation. Then over the next two weeks I have to write forty pages' worth of essays. Not so fun.

http://www.evilbore.com/forum/index.php?topic=30542.msg958245#msg958245

I posted this a month ago and didn't think more about it until last night.

Anyway, it was basically asking, "wha?" at this snippet of code:

Code: [Select]
            Func<int, Func<int, int>> MakeAdder = x => y => x + y;
            Func<int, int> Adder = MakeAdder(10);
            Console.WriteLine(Adder(20));

Being new at lambda expressions at the time, I had no idea how this whole thing worked. I couldn't comprehend the syntax. I knew the result because obviously (a) I could test it and (b) I could mentally put together 10 and 20 just like anybody else. But how it was getting there, I couldn't explain. Until now, of course. And now it seems all so simple.

Anyway, MakeAdder is a function that accepts an integer parameter and spits out another function. It's a function in my function, as Xzibit-meme-guy would say. Basically, you give it "x", and the function returns a function that takes an integer value (y) and adds it to the previously supplied "x."

So by setting Adder = MakeAdder(10), what I've done is retrieved a function that is equal to y => 10 + y. Then by using Adder and supplying an argument of 20, the whole thing evaluates to 30. Simple.

This is important stuff, which is why I've posted an update. Someday in the future, perhaps even on your deathbeds, you will thank me for this.

Anyway, drinking a dericious chai from Starbucks (which inexplicably closes at 7:30 in NISHI-SHINJUKU MOTHERFUCKING TOKYO, SALARYMEN FUCKING EVERYWHERE WORKING TIL LIKE 5 AM) and about to study some Japanese. I'm in a Christmasy kinda mood, so I'm about to bump some Vince Guaraldi Trio's Charlie Brown Christmas as well as Intimacy and A Weekend in the City by Bloc Party, all of which are my official December / Christmas season albums. After studying I'm playing Bioshock, which I bought when it came out but never finished. Starting over and killing everything. I tried to play Blue Dragon, but it's incredibly slow. Maybe I'll play it when there's nothing else to play (never). Thankfully it was only 9.99.

I don't really produce, but instead of this, you are better off getting a copy of Ableton Live and reading internet tutorials on it... this kit is more for DJing/mixing, instead of actually producing songs. If you want to learn how to beatmatch I could give you some pointers, since that's what I do. Psst, go to http://www.duky.org/mixes.html (http://www.duky.org/mixes.html) and d/l some of my mixes  8)

First off, you should get yourself a demo copy of Virtual DJ, before getting the mixer. You can use the mouse to manipulate it, but it's no where near as accurate and responsive as the Hercules mixer. Later on, upgrade (or look for a crack) for the pro edition of Virtual DJ, which has recording to mp3 capabilities and much more options.

http://www.virtualdj.com (http://www.virtualdj.com)

Oh and the Essential Mix was done in '06, I have significantly changed the type of music I play and have gotten much better since then :P The ones toward the bottom of the page are of course more recent.

Use a gmail account and ask the same question. Say "hey my uni email is down for some reason, anyway I've been wanting to ask you something for awhile..." so he doesn't know it's you

I'll take a random guess and suggest that they were never officially girlfriend and boyfriend.  He just thought she was his girlfriend because he was unfamiliar with how to take things as they come as well as being unfamiliar with the concept entirely.  He got too intense and she was scared off.  He doesn't understand so he starts throwing a fit like a tweener Linkin Park fan.

Hmm, there's no Mac version? That's weird, I would have assumed there would be one... a lot of DJs and producers do use Macs (I don't, myself). You can look for other, Mac-friendly DJing programs - Traktor is supposedly a great alternative.

The Hercules table will undoubtedly come with trial versions of software, too. I would suggest you go for it if you don't mind dropping the money. It's a really entertaining hobby.

I've started doing some weight training at home after seeing some Halloween pictures of myself where my arms look like, as I described in an apt description on Facebook, broken broom sticks with skin-colored canvas draped over them.  I should probably start hitting the gym for real-real and jump on the elliptical, but this seems to be working well enough for now.  I've been finding it easier to sleep lately, anyway.

... Kesastrophe, I've got the elliptical downstairs. Weight lifting would require a gym membership, or asking my father (who is a physical trainer) for help - neither appeal to me that much.

I've had an application to a school in Korea in the works for over a month now. I've been looking for other jobs at the same time, but no one is biting, and the Korea thing is guaranteed. I start next Wednesday. If I had gotten the job I was recently applying for, I would have canceled, but I really need money at this point.

Arent there any jobs youd like before going to Korea again?

There are tons of jobs I'd rather do, but it's hard to get them in this economy. I can't even get a customer service position at a company that employs three of my college friends. There just aren't many openings. I'm going to take the time to work on my writing a lot, and hopefully I'll have a novel ready to submit to agents when I get back.
Good grief, it sounds like they sent in a hardball interviewer in the final round. Good on you for having more irons in the fire. Try not to get frustrated.

Good grief, it sounds like they sent in a hardball interviewer in the final round. Good on you for having more irons in the fire. Try not to get frustrated.

The final interviewer was a lot more of a hardballer. But one of the things that hurt me with this guy is that he had been gone for the past month (traveling on company business). During that month, my friend at the company had been really talking me up as the guy he recommended for this job. This guy wasn't exposed to any of that, and as a result, I was just another resume in the pile for him.

Also, I think the first and second interviews got me into a false sense of security. The first two interviews were so easy that when the third guy came out and played hard-ball, really grilling me about gaps in my resume, reasons for leaving other positions, lack of real experience in certain areas, I wasn't ready for it.

But there's also the fact that all of the other applicants were internal candidates who already knew the systems, and since it's crunch-time over there, they probably just felt a lot more comfortable hiring someone who they wouldn't have to train as much. I'm confident that I would have been the best of the bunch a month or two from now, but I probably wouldn't have been the best hire starting from day one.
The next time you have an interview, remember all those questions, and be ready for them. They're pretty typical, reasonable questions from the looks of it. Unless he was waggling his eyebrows at you with each question. "What about here, where you don't have an employer listed for these 6 months? What were you doing then?" *waggle waggle*

You can call an eyebrow foul in that case.

Use it on a high elevation, the reason that it's a good cardio machine and much better than bikes or treadmills is that you have to work against gravity.

I don't drink any juice (save for maybe orange juice every now and then when I'm not feeling too well), I have maybe a can of Sprite Zero with lunch (no caffeine, no sodium, no carbs, etc.) and drink moderately (a beer every now and then).

I cut out a lot of processed foods from my diet, which is not perfect, but a far cry from what I used to eat.

After this regimen on the elliptical, and I get my endurance up, I'll start going to the gym. That's the goal.

It's easy to fall off the wagon. I live 2min away from a Dominos, and when I don't feel like cooking I get tempted as fuck to go get a pizza and coke; normally my diet consists of chicken breasts, veggies, and oatmeal. I'm still in shape but I haven't worked out in some time, outside of running on an inconsistent basis.

It is VERY easy for your "diet" to be altered. Keep at it! I think the best tip I can give is to not even make it a diet at all. Make it a complete overhaul of your eating habits and try to keep it like that for good. Losing weight is the easy part. :( It's keeping it off that's the tough part.

Yes--because 5% of our final grade comes from having a sufficient number of posts! (Yes I know that's not what you meant).

I'm split on whether failure will be a relief or not.  Getting those grades will suck shit and it'll probably be the worst family drama since a death some years ago (I actually don't care if I fail, but my parents will be really let down), but I'll feel a lot less rushed into the next step I take and probably end up in something I truly enjoy.  

This experience has just screwed with my head way too much and i've only been in it for about 3 months.

If you want to get rid of flab, core exercises are probably the best.  Elliptical machines are really only good for getting your cardiovascular endurance up, which is important but I have seen some chubsters at the gym that go for an hour on those things (like every time I see them).

Fuck me, you're an idiot.  You can't spot reduce fat by doing abwork.  Cardio = burning fat.

What core exercises do you recommend? I do crunches on the ab machine, mainly. 3 sets, 25 reps @ 80lbs. I really wanna get rid of that stomach flab.

NO! BAD!  YOU CAN'T SPOT REDUCE FAT!

(now, I do recommend abwork, but it won't reduce flab)

As Boogie says. Honestly, best thing to do to lose weight:

1. Eat healthier.
2. Cut down on sodas and such. Drink much more water. I recommend getting a big re-washable plastic cup/thermos to carry around a ton of water to drink throughout the day.
3. workout all your muscle groups. This will build muscle all over. That will increase your metabolism as your body will require more energy than it used to.
4. lots of cardio.

4 things that will help you lose weight.

Cool beans man. You can eat what you want, but remember this basic mantra:

Calories in vs Calories out

If you take in more than u burn off, ur weight goes up. You burn more, it goes down. Simple, no?

Also, just an example for you. You could eat a whole Wal-Mart Rotisserie chicken which could last u 2 meals and would have eaten less calories than a single whopper meal.

You are probably giving much better advice.  I've never worked towards actually losing weight but you do MMA so you probably know your shit.  I had flabby, toneless abs a couple years after high school though and doing a lot of core and some cardio got rid of that "flab".

Post by: Bocsius on December 04, 2009, 10:31:16 AM
In the "you don't know it until you try it" programming example of the day...

I was playing around with LINQ and extension methods and lambda expressions (because what else would you do with your free time) and decided I would try my hand at rewriting a standard query expression into a version that only uses extension methods and lambda expressions, because that is apparently how the compiler treats a query expression anyway. it will translate it to the extension/lambda method, and then further translate it from there. Anyway, for the purposes of my example, I have two classes, Product and Supplier.

Code: [Select]
        public class Product
        {
            public int ProductID { get; set; }
            public string ProductName { get; set; }
            public int SupplierID { get; set; }
        }

        public class Supplier
        {
            public int SupplierID { get; set; }
            public string SupplierName { get; set; }
        }

From there, declared a simple list of products and list of suppliers and provided some intial data.

Code: [Select]
            List<Product> products = new List<Product>()
            {
                new Product { ProductID = 1, ProductName = "Blue Widget", SupplierID = 1 },
                new Product { ProductID = 2, ProductName = "Red Widget", SupplierID = 1 },
                new Product { ProductID = 3, ProductName = "Yellow Widget", SupplierID = 2 },
                new Product { ProductID = 4, ProductName = "Green Widget", SupplierID = 2 }
            };

            List<Supplier> suppliers = new List<Supplier>()
            {
                new Supplier { SupplierID = 1, SupplierName = "BR Widget Company" },
                new Supplier { SupplierID = 2, SupplierName = "YG Widgets Inc" }
            };

And then performed a simple query expression joining of the two lists and wrote the output to the screen.

Code: [Select]
            // simple join using query expression, easy-peezy lemon squeezy, or something
            var query = from product in products
                        join supplier in suppliers
                        on product.SupplierID equals supplier.SupplierID
                        orderby supplier.SupplierName, product.ProductID
                        select new
                        {
                            ProductID = product.ProductID,
                            ProductName = product.ProductName,
                            SupplierName = supplier.SupplierName
                        };

            foreach (var element in query)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("{0}\t{1}\t{2}", element.ProductID, element.ProductName, element.SupplierName);
            }

And the results

Code: [Select]
1       Blue Widget     BR Widget Company
2       Red Widget      BR Widget Company
3       Yellow Widget   YG Widgets Inc
4       Green Widget    YG Widgets Inc

The next step was to mentally translate that into a version that only used extension methods. That version looks like this:

Code: [Select]
            var elements = products.Join(
                    suppliers,
                    product => product.SupplierID,
                    supplier => supplier.SupplierID,
                    (product, supplier) => new
                        {
                            ProductID = product.ProductID,
                            ProductName = product.ProductName,
                            SupplierName = supplier.SupplierName
                        }
                    )
                    .OrderBy(element => element.SupplierName)
                    .ThenBy(element => element.ProductID);

            products.Add(new Product { ProductID = 5, ProductName = "Purple Widget", SupplierID = 1 });
            foreach (var element in elements)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("{0}\t{1}\t{2}", element.ProductID, element.ProductName, element.SupplierName);
            }

Before I enumerated over the query, I added a new product to my list. Why? Because queries are not executed when they are declared, but rather when they are enumerated. I know because that's what I've read. But it's nice to know because that is also what I have tested. So the results...

Code: [Select]
1       Blue Widget     BR Widget Company
2       Red Widget      BR Widget Company
5       Purple Widget   BR Widget Company
3       Yellow Widget   YG Widgets Inc
4       Green Widget    YG Widgets Inc

But then I added another new Product. I knew that queries weren't executed until they are actually used, but I didn't believe they would be executed again. I expected that if I added a new product, the query would not know because it had already been executed with the prior enumeration.

Code: [Select]
            products.Add(new Product { ProductID = 6, ProductName = "Orange Widget", SupplierID = 2 });
            foreach (var element in elements)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("{0}\t{1}\t{2}", element.ProductID, element.ProductName, element.SupplierName);
            }

The result?

Code: [Select]
1       Blue Widget     BR Widget Company
2       Red Widget      BR Widget Company
5       Purple Widget   BR Widget Company
3       Yellow Widget   YG Widgets Inc
4       Green Widget    YG Widgets Inc
6       Orange Widget   YG Widgets Inc

That is why we test things we think we know. Because we might not actually know. Not only is the query not executed until it is enumerated (or otherwise needed), it is executed each time it is enumerated.

:themoreyouknow

edit: it's amazing all that is there that wasn't possible prior to C# 3. Auto-implemented properties, object initialization, list initialization, extension methods, lambda expressions, anonymous types, implicit typing, LINQ, etc. About the only thing compatible with C# 2 is the foreach statement and Console.WriteLine().

Saw Kaskade and Daishi Dance spin at Ageha last night, and both were great, in addition to the 4-5 OTHER DJs that were playing on the various other dance floors.

Little did I know there was a POOL in the middle of a dance floor outside and a fucking huge lake thing behind the club. It's like 5 clubs in one. Got home around 8 (wasn't sloppy drunk this time, what the fuck... I even bought WATER at the bar) after delicious, delicious McDonald's, woke up at 4.

Checked my mail on the way to dinner, and FINALLY...

Saw Kaskade and Daishi Dance spin at Ageha last night, and both were great, in addition to the 4-5 OTHER DJs that were playing on the various other dance floors.

So I gotta some COFFEE (I can't drink coffee cause it gives me the runs, so when I do drink coffee once every few months it is like 100x more powerful) and have actually been writing and making awesome philosophical debating backed by legal and literary text.

So now I'm writing a bit on how we tell stories to pass down information to future generations and I am SO TEMPTED TO QUOTE MGS2 on how passing down information to future generations.

Quote
Colonel    : But there are things not covered by genetic information.

Raiden     : What do you mean?

Colonel    : Human memories, ideas. Culture. History.

Rose       : Genes don't contain any record of human history.

Colonel    : Is it something that should not be passed on? Should that
             information be left at the mercy of nature?

Rose       : We've always kept records of our lives. Through words, pictures,
             symbols... from tablets to books...

Colonel    : But not all the information was inherited by later generations. A
             small percentage of the whole was selected and processed, then
             passed on. Not unlike genes, really.

Rose       : That's what history is, Jack.

Quote
Jack       : Yeah. But genes aren't the only thing you pass on. There are too
             many things that aren't written into our DNA. It's up to us to
             teach that to our children.

Rose       : What kind of things?

Jack       : About the environment, our ideas, our culture... poetry...
             compassion... sorrow... joy... We'll tell them everything...
             together.

Quote
Snake      : Life isn't just about passing on your genes. We can leave behind
             much more than just DNA. Through speech, music, literature and
             movies... what we've seen, heard, felt ...anger, joy and
             sorrow... these are the things I will pass on.  That's what I
             live for.

             We need to pass the torch, and let our children read our messy
             and sad history by its light. We have all the magic of the
             digital age to do that with. The human race will probably come to
             an end some time, and new species may rule over this planet. Earth
             may not be forever, but we still have the responsibility to leave
             what traces of life we can. Building the future and keeping the
             past alive are one and the same thing.

There's a production base here (since the vast majority of non-fiction media is produced or in post-production here thanks to Discovery, Smithsonian and National Geographic), so talent and crew can be acquired in a hurry. There are a handful of decent schools/art centers that the creative people tend to revolve around. And you can usually get people to pay for your travel costs, which makes it easier to live here.

The two cheapest places to shoot in the states are Detroit and South Carolina, though.

Quote
“Charles P. McDowell…studied the 1,218 reports of rape that were made between 1980 and 1984 on Air Force bases throughout the world (McDowell, 1985). Of those, 460 were found to be "proven"…Another 212 of the total reports were found to be "disproved" as the alleged victim convincingly admitted the complaint was a "hoax" at some point during the initial investigation. The researchers then investigated the 546 remaining or "unresolved" rape allegations including having the accusers submit to a polygraph. Twenty-seven percent (27%) of these complainants admitted they had fabricated their accusation just before taking the polygraph or right after they failed the test…Combining this 27% with the initial 212 "disproved" cases, it was determined that approximately 45% of the total rape allegations were false” 

But I think I'm just gonna say a large % of rape cases are based on false claims[1] and throw all that in a footnote at the bottom.

This seems like an unrepresentative sample.

And, according to our friend google, the author is biased and, possibly, a loon. Charles P. McDowell is a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel who claimed that false allegations are made against "horny devils at the peak of their sexuality." He created an unscientific "rape allegation checklist" in which a score of over 16 points meant a woman's rape charge is "probably false." How are some of the points awarded? Three points for having problems with her boyfriend or husband. One point for demanding medical treatment. One point for having financial problems.

Cool.  If my paper was about rape charges I would have to severely rethink that.

Since I was just using it as an example of how lies can put people in prison.  It doesn't really matter.  I just needed a source to say, yes some people lie and falsely accuse others for serious crimes.  So I'll just use the 8% statistic by the government instead.  Unless of course you want to dispute that as being biased and too high as well and that no one has ever actually made a false accusation in the history of mankind.

I thought the cost of living in DC was pretty outrageous? My sister in law and her husband live in the city and they say it's really expensive.

I live within striking distance, I don't live downtown.

There's a production base here (since the vast majority of non-fiction media is produced or in post-production here thanks to Discovery, Smithsonian and National Geographic), so talent and crew can be acquired in a hurry. There are a handful of decent schools/art centers that the creative people tend to revolve around. And you can usually get people to pay for your travel costs, which makes it easier to live here.

The two cheapest places to shoot in the states are Detroit and South Carolina, though.

save for perhaps the corcoran, there isn't a single decent art school in dc nor any creativity in this city.

Guh? Not only is there the CDIA - Boston University in Georgetown, which employs actual industry folks that I personally know, but the AFI also offers workshops for aspiring filmmakers in Silver Spring in conjunction with the AFI Silver Theater and Cultural Arts center. Which, mind you, is the only real education they offer outside of their conservatory in California, which is drool-worthy.

Hell, the fact that the AFI is even based here negates that whole argument.

Not to mention that there are several schools that offer broadcasting and filmmaking degrees within the area, including The Art Institute in Virginia.

... And as stated, the area has the largest non-fiction production base in the entire country (that's not an opinion, that's a fact) and that includes Los Angeles. I find it abhorrent that you think that a city that is the home to the Smithsonian, a handful of film societies, the AMERICAN FILM INSTITUTE, etc. has "no creativity".

I won't even mention things like the Kennedy Center, which is outside of film, because you're being ignorant.

I'm going to rip this part of the topic off and jettison it to the OT so we don't ruin the topic, though.

Finished rough draft.  yay, got 26 pages of blah that will be edited into 25 pages of ok tomorrow/tues.  The worst part is going to be remembering how to blue book cite everything and getting all the boring information like publisher and stuff in the cite down in the footnotes.  At least I have some model papers to refer to in terms of how you cite it all.  I must have cited 30+ things by the end of that.  On my draft I just threw the full cite in the paper after each quote and figure I'd fix it after.  So either moving them all to the footnotes will make my paper shorter or make it longer (I've heard footnote margins can really increase the length of your paper).  Either way I've got an extra page to spare and I could also write a tiny bit more if I'm coming up short.  If it's longer well that's good because I can cut a ton out of my paper and make it a better paper.

Finished with all my school shit.  Was pretty much done a week ago, but had one final left that the teacher didn't put up early like in the other class I was taking.  Now it's done...finished in 15-20 minutes.  :lol  Probably about time to start the job hunt process; only have one class left to take next quarter.

Yeah, that went through my head more than once. She said he beat her in front of the child. Then again, here's a woman who spent most of the evening trolling her ex's online presences in order to get him banned, and ended up admitting to a group of unknowns that she enjoys rape fantasies. ???

Well if the guy was into rape, his pm's or texts probably didn't beat around the bush (there's a really fucked up pun in that).  I'm pretty sure he was dead to rights on making dirty talk with another woman and that's enough to set off any woman up to the point of committing lorena bobbitry on the man.  But he still has his penis, so hopefully they work out a situation where they stay the fuck away from each other but the kid doesn't get screwed up by any drama.

Cormacaroni, it's not like I get paid until we get funding.

It's actually for a project I had been tinkering with, but I always assumed it was dependent on the success of another project since it would require a hefty budget. It was kind of "When a break comes my way, this will be my next gig!" type of project.

But my two producing pals sat me down today on the phone, after the Redskins loss, to tell me that they believe they can attack it head-on without this other project necessarily selling (or selling first). So I'm to suck it up and make it a priority, or they will cut off my knee caps.

... I am working on writing copy for a pretty lame site they're going to use to host the teaser of this other project they are currently attempting to sell, so when that's up, I'll link it to you guys.

I've written two features, so the page count is not frightening - just the time frame. I've been writing what add up to be essentially short film screenplays in length, which has actually been quite difficult, since I'm cramming a lot of stuff into a small amount of time.

Women love these men despite the fact that they batter them. They stick with them because, partly from the abuse, they have low self-esteem and are afraid of independence. Or they stick around because they are afraid that the consequences of leaving will be even worse, for themselves or their children.

Law school is horrible.

Welcome to the club?

I'm just hoping I pass my professional responsibility class.  I'll do ~ a 3.0 easy in my other classes, but I didn't read the PR book or pay attention cause the classes were terrible.  I basically know nothing about PR and have 1-2 days to learn enough from a cheat book to try to get a 2.something.  I need a 0.7 to pass the class, which seems very doable.  But I hate the feeling of going into studying for a final when you actually don't know the material.  Nerve-wracking >_<

Anyhow aren't you first year?  It gets a lot easier and better and a happier place.  First semester is the toughest.

Anyone know how to cite a short story in a short story collection book in blue book (legal) form?  I googled and searched all the blue book sites but no answer.

I know if it's a book it's:
Author Dude, I am the author dude (2009).

short story or article is:
Author Dude, I am the author dude short story (2009).

But not sure what do to do when it's a short story in a book.  On the syllabus for our readings the professor used this form:
I am the author dude short story, Author Dude (year of story) (in I am the author dude).

But I don't think that's correct blue book cause I've never seen anything where the author's name doesn't come first.

Not seeing anything about fiction specifically, but for "shorter works in a collection with various authors" (the heading in the bluebook), its:

Author, Story Title, in Book title page story begins on, page the quote is from (editor, year)

you need the "in" italicized with a comma after the story title.  no comma between book title and page # it begins on


rule 15.5.1

No, but I could get her a bit part in a short film or on something meaningless I'm working on. I could call a friend and get her on some shitty cable show, as well. So I could get her face time in something, but it certainly would not be a feature. I'm working on only one feature and it's my baby, so I'm not going to sell it out for a one-night stand.

I'm kind of stressing out. I had a feature, that I was working on in my own spare time, as sort of a back burner project if something else that I'm attached to sold. One of the three producers on that project is a good friend of mine, and I kept him in the loop about what I was working on.

I had not really planned to begin typing anything out until January, and was hoping to take my sweet, sweet time.

Well, on Sunday, he asked to bring another producer into the project and we had our first production meeting, with deadlines and everything. He already had spoken about bringing in another producer, and that means he wants to ramp up to make this his next go-to project.

Then I get a call yesterday that he did not want to feed me concrete details, because everything is still "up in the air", but that things are "moving very fast" and that he was going to need the script "sooner, rather than later". It was insinuated that something we had talked about - a company not biting on this other project but nibbling at a film pitch - was coming to fruition.

Then I get call tonight saying that things were moving so fast that after he met with his family for Christmas, he planned to fly or Amtrak down to D.C. to meet with me in-person and discuss the project. That is, unless he is forced to depart earlier than expected to Los Angeles for "stuff that is up in the air" - which was stated to be a very distinct possibility.

My fear is that everything I've handed to these guys, they've unanimously liked. And that's 3-for-3 in terms of finished screenplays. But with so little prep time, I fear turning in a substandard draft.

I'm sitting here pacing back and forth, totally stressed. I feel like a typical neurotic writer. The good news is that with two producers (and maybe a third one soon) and their staff on board, I can request stuff. Like I'm having a ton of related source material and films with similar styles (or material) sent to my house later this week for research. And they take care of all that stuff for me.

I can tell they're working on selling it, because their tone has changed in subsequent interactions with me. It's gone from friendly chats to producer talk, and one of them is trying to fuel my ego with Hollywood lingo. It actually stresses me out more than it helps. Just tell me I'm garbage, and I'll settle down.
Title: Re: Official Thread of Flogging the Log: A Place for Better Random Talk
Post by: Don Flamenco on December 10, 2009, 12:02:07 AM
that's awesome.  I've always wondered how that stuff works.  Is it normal for producers to provide material like that for writers?  like they say "we want something like ____" and then you watch a bunch of stuff that gives you ideas...
Title: Re: Official Thread of Flogging the Log: A Place for Better Random Talk
Post by: The Fake Shemp on December 10, 2009, 12:11:42 AM
Depends. Some writers do all the research themselves or if they are studio jockeys, can request the studio to assist them. And - definitely - if a studio wants a particular genre or flick ("Make us another Transformers, now!"), they'll get some writers and give them access to source material they're interested in and let them have at it.

And while working on a greenlit project, you can get the producer (or rather, an assistant) to get that stuff for you. Most writers don't have the benefit of necessarily having a producer before a script is finished - unless it's a studio project.

Since I've known this particular person for years, and through another project, I have that luxury.

I went in with a whole project already assembled, but I don't really feel confident about my second act and want to look to superior films/books for stuff to rip off reference. In that situation, yeah, you can make a call and the producer (or someone under him) will get you that stuff. These guys are more than happy to do so, because they want the script yesterday.

... but yeah, I was told other than making just enough to "get by" from my freelance work, this project is now my number one priority. Which means (and I'm guessing), they may have gotten a director attached or someone to bite on the pitch. I'm not too keen on selling the project before my first draft is done, though.

That said, I understand it was likely a last resort response to a "... what else do you got?" question in some pitch meeting, and my pal thought back and went, "Oh yeah, Will is working on that dumb film."

Shit, i had a one month intensive course where more than 2000 pages were assigned.  Malek destroyed.

what was that in?
One-upmanship. Looks like he got an A+.
My college didn't give A+ as a grade.  Suffice to say I did get an A.  Also none of it was literature.  It was all post-colonial theory :-\

Apparently some students cheated on a memo assignment by collaborating with each other (that rules me out . . . I'd think!). Now every student in the class must write an essay about professional integrity and responsibility.

Just what I need.

My biggest fear is that I send my script off to be skewered, re-written and watered down until it is a soulless genre retread manufactured solely to make money off of specific target audiences. Then, completely broken and creatively bankrupt, I reluctantly take the Candyland gig and milk the residuals for all their worth.

Guh? Not only is there the CDIA - Boston University in Georgetown, which employs actual industry folks that I personally know, but the AFI also offers workshops for aspiring filmmakers in Silver Spring in conjunction with the AFI Silver Theater and Cultural Arts center. Which, mind you, is the only real education they offer outside of their conservatory in California, which is drool-worthy.

Hell, the fact that the AFI is even based here negates that whole argument.

Not to mention that there are several schools that offer broadcasting and filmmaking degrees within the area, including The Art Institute in Virginia.

... And as stated, the area has the largest non-fiction production base in the entire country (that's not an opinion, that's a fact) and that includes Los Angeles. I find it abhorrent that you think that a city that is the home to the Smithsonian, a handful of film societies, the AMERICAN FILM INSTITUTE, etc. has "no creativity".

I won't even mention things like the Kennedy Center, which is outside of film, because you're being ignorant.

I'm going to rip this part of the topic off and jettison it to the OT so we don't ruin the topic, though.

i wondered where this went.

you basically confirmed what i've just said. great job.

and i find it laughable that you think institutions like afi and smithosian whose job are to preserve and increase our knowledge of the arts is somehow tied in with creativity.

don't take it so personally buddy. you should submit your work to artomatic next year.

I fail to see how the AFI, which actually educates filmmakers, is not tied to creativity. Or the CDIA? Or the Art Institute?

... and the Smithsonian is more than a museum. If you don't get that, then you aren't going to get anything. (Ever hear of television? (http://www.smithsonianchannel.com/site/smithsonian/index.html))

And I will take it personally. I have a lot of friends, highly skilled photographers and filmmakers, that work and live in the area. So to say that what they does not qualify as creative, or art, is kind of offensive - especially when they teach at state institutions that have film programs, schools like CDIA, are under employ of National Geographic/Discovery/Smithsonian, etc.

There is a significant film base here, rivaled only by Los Angeles, New York and - maybe - San Francisco (because they do so many commercials). There is art and creativity here. You do not need to look far to find it.

the art institute has schools across the nation and has a poor reputation within the art community, not necessarily because they're thinly spread out, but because their goal is to rob their students of their time and their parents of their money. and i'm sure you've heard this before, technical know how has no relation to creativity which is probably why i'm seeing shitty informative documentaries littered throughout the smithsonian channel. and are you really trying to pass this off as being creative? have you ever even gone to any of the local festivals such as the silverdocs, shortfilmfest and dcfilmfest or even any of the smithsonian weekend screenings? dc is even ill represented within its own city.

and nearly every university across the nation is adding film and media programs to their studies which are largely taught by industry rejects. for a good laugh, check out my university's newly formed film program faculty staff which has close relations with national geographic/discovery/smithsonian/blahblahblah.
http://favs.gmu.edu/
the closest we have to a notable alumni in film is carma hinton (an amazing professor), who is really an history professor though the school tries to pass her off as being part of the program. its the same story for any neighboring university.

i just think you're ill informed on our city's culture and are trying to find some validity for living here. this isn't a starving city anymore, the last time this area was alive with a thriving art community was nearly two decades ago which was dominantly counter culture. were surrounded by too much stability, money, education and bureaucracy which has drained this city of its life. try stepping outside of the mall for once. go to h street and witness the exploitation of art, or maybe try some of the lounges on u street which at times manage to house some of the most prestigious names in jazz or music in general who are accustomed to playing in front of sold out crowds in nyc yet they'll be lucky to play in front of ten. maybe try some of the diy scene, which is nearly non existent since i know nearly everyone within that circle, or even better! lets go on a voyage and try to find some small privately run galleries!

and film is a terrible way to show creativity since only a few people within that industry have it. the rest are tools to their disposal. i really have no idea what your aspirations are in the industry, but i'll give you this word of advice, if you don't want to be reduced to making cheap history channel knockoffs, you're living in the wrong area. there is a reason why anyone with any talent living here moves to neighboring cities with well known art communities such as baltimore or richmond.

Not everyone in the industry is talented, but if you're telling me there is no creativity, art or craftmanship that goes into non-fiction media, then you're just wrong, wrong, wrong.

Like I said, I personally know several people that work through all three big area employers (and really dominant employers in the industry), that are extremely talented, have a lot of creativity and teach at area schools - not as industry rejects, but working professionals.

Quote

D.C. is not a short film or feature film centric community, nor would I expect it to be. That doesn't mean there are not filmmakers here. Not everyone has aspirations for Hollywood or Tribeca.

Quote

Dude, but CDIA and AFI educate filmmakers with professionals and often bring in guests from outside the area. I know the AFI has held workshops where Hollywood professionals have stepped in and sat down with students. State schools don't necessarily have those connections at their disposal, but your argument is now all universities that are not trade schools are somehow ill prepared to educate students on film.

Let me say this, as someone who knows (and someone who has issues with college degrees in filmmaking), anything someone learns at state will likely be the same thing they learn at NYFA, USC or LAFS. I've got a dozen friends that dumped massive tuition into NYFA (whose best alumni is Brett Ratner), who in retrospect would've gladly handed it to another state university or the AI.

The only film school I would say is worth the money is the conservatory that the AFI runs in California, which is highly exclusive and very costly. Usually you need connections to even get in. So in that regard, to have access to any of the education from that program, which D.C. is the only area that does, is pretty awesome.

i hate to have to point this out to you since with how you're selling yourself, you've left me to assume that your well versed in terms of documentary films. it doesn't matter how great the subject is, how eccentric the cast of characters are or how scenic the landscapes can be, in the end a creative and even a technical approach will often times blind the cast of whats sitting infront of them. it has very little to do with "creativity" and more so to do with journalistic integrity. how well you can make a documentary is directly tied to how well you can truly see whats around you. if you have that talent, you can make the tiniest subjects seem big.

though when you're choosing topics where all the information could easily come straight out of wikipedia, i guess you have to have some creative approach or budget to differentiate your work from the vast majority of others who covered it before you. gotta add that twang.

But you're already getting paid to do screenwriting-related stuff. Fixing scripts and whatnot.

Let me emphasize that I make very little, and I have actually taken a drastic pay cut from my salary as a multi-unit retail manager to work on other people's projects, works, etc.

It is often belittling and makes me angry (and I make little), with only the promise that one day, something I write might break.

Most of my financial funds come from other contract writing work, unrelated to film.

Quote
Can you advise me on how to get into a similar position? So many shitty movies come out every year - it's quite obvious that I'm already a better writer than some of the people who currently make a living in screenwriting.

The first thing I can probably advise is that you should check that line of thought at the door. If you start thinking you're a better writer than the dozens of other hacks that get their stuff produced, it creates a false sense of hope. The fact is, you or I are not better than the vast majority of the writers in Hollywood. We are probably less likely to see success. We can only hope we network enough that we catch a break.

Unless you're Charlie Kaufman, you will not be successful on talent alone.

Quote
How can I get into a position to prove this? I'm not trying to compare myself to you or assert that I'm on the level of the top dogs out there. I just want advice on how to get into a position to do what you currently do.

Dude, I'm a nobody. I'm not even at the level of the script janitors that work for a studio. I've only gotten to this "level" by networking, for years, and continuing to put my work into other people's hands. Just keep writing and don't stop until someone tells you to.

Post by: The Fake Shemp on December 11, 2009, 02:16:51 AM
And just so you know, the biggest key to financial success in Hollywood is to secure representation. Unfortunately, this is rather difficult. Most studios won't look at your spec script unless you have representation, but most agents will flat out refuse you as a client unless you have a film under your belt.

It's kind of a Catch-22.

I haven't even gotten representation myself yet, but I'm getting closer. A lot of struggling film school students will even try to find bars and watering holes where agent's assistants hang out, hoping to ride their coattails if they are ever promoted. I think this is kind of a ridiculous and time consuming way to secure an agent.

Even more folks find a non-union production and try to make a crappy indie film, so at least they have something to show for themselves. Then you get an agent. Then you make money!

(then you get the girls and the power.)

Then there's the oddball chance that you write a spec scrip so good that the studio will find you adequate representation just so they can buy it off of you. This is usually a fantasy for most folks, though.

Post by: The Fake Shemp on December 11, 2009, 02:34:51 AM
That depends. If you were at an agency that represented both film and publishing, I could see it being easier. It would also depend on the success of the book. There are a lot of variables.

I guess my answer would be that it couldn't hurt. Anything that increases your visibility makes you more attractive to an agent.

But - hey - who am I to say what works and what doesn't? Give it a shot! I've actually stopped caring about representation for awhile, because I've connected with some producers, directors and such that I work well with. If I really wanted it, I could probably get a friend to call and connect me with someone, but it's not a priority for me at the moment.

I'm all about guerrilla filmmaking! :rock

Post by: The Fake Shemp on December 11, 2009, 02:39:29 AM
Edit: also, you're right about checking the ego. I've been trying to do that. It's just hard to look at a film like Stealth or Ecks vs Sever and not think "I could write circles around the guy who wrote that." But I know that there are a lot more things that go into making a crappy movie than the talent/ability of the screenwriter.

Thinking like this will only drive you nuts, and never advance you career. Those guys all likely paid their dues, and who is to say that a dozen script doctors and ghost writers didn't permanently damage a solid story that existed as written in their original draft? I find it pretty difficult to get angry writers, unless they're complete big shots with a lot of control (Orci and Kurtzman, David Koepp, etc.) because it's rare we get the whole story about the screen writing process.

Plus, you just have to come to grips with the fact that you will be overlooked in favor of total garbage the vast majority of the time.

And I'm at a point in my career where even if I truly hated something, I'd bite my tongue. Even if The Book of Eli sucks, I'd still go on GAF and go, "Great job, Gary. It was really... interesting."

Just say you ripped it off. I'd literally say, "Inspired by? No, I just stole it. I mean, I'm a hack and that is a way better film, so I felt I should probably steal from that."

With a film like Terminator 3, it was unlikely they were the only writers on the project. And I can tell you that initial reports said the first draft of Terminator Salavation was better than the end result, which changed when Bale was brought on board and demanded massive re-writes to support his character.

And I've been reading a dozen PR outlines all night.  Still not really sure if I know anything.  I think the best way to learn this class before my test will be just doing practice multiple choice and learning why I get ones wrong that I do.

Also the PR class is kinda unfair imo.  50% of the class or more took the November MPRE 4 weeks ago mid-class.  So 50% of the class already studied this material to death a month ago.  They're gonna do well and fuck up the curve.

Hey guys.

Took a week break from the boards out of ridiculous and distinguished mentally-challenged anger.  Unfortunately some of this spilled over into my work as well.  It is going to take a long time to rebuild those bridges I torched at my job, which I intend to start doing on Monday.

Probably the lowest point since I was 18 if I can recall.  Might need to look into therapy or something - this shit is simply unacceptable.  Therapy or not, I need to make a few critical changes...now.

What happened dude, why the rage?

I really don't know.  Maybe that is where the therapy would come in at.  I'm at a good paying job but for some reason, I feel the need to keep shooting myself in the foot.  I didn't really screw up on any of the work but my people skills with my co-workers suffered greatly.  They still do stuff for me on occasion but I can hear them talking...

Which sucks because I never really had problems with people I worked with until this job, my first career job.  Yet I am all too willing to firebomb my career with the company.  Management definitely notices but at the same time, I received a raise, bonus pay, and great reviews.  Which puzzles me a bit but I came to that realization yesterday and it was very sobering.  I feel like a complete piece of shit and I'm not sure if I can resurrect things to the way they were at the beginning.  I'll do my best to try but if I can't, I understand completely.

As for the rage, it kept building for whatever reason but it seems blatantly clear now that I have some type of rage issue.  I need to fix this.

It's good that you're recognizing that stuff before it gets out of hand.  Maybe you can apologize to your co-workers?  If that's awkward, then just start doing little things for the people you think are the most pissed.  If you can calm down and fly straight for a few weeks, it'll be back to normal.

So far today has been pretty crappy, and threw my studying plans off. I woke up this morning and realized the heat was off; went into the basement and saw the furnace wasn't working. So I took the bus to Home Depot, bought a thermocouple, and came back home. Fixed the furnace with no issues and I was feeling pretty awesome. My dad dropped the car off and I went shopping/running errands.

Then I get back home a few hours later and realize the ceiling of the first level is leaking. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with me turning the furnace heat up after I fixed it; it's a steam based boiler. Maybe the steam is seeping out of a pipe...which could be a major pain to fix. I've been investigating the wall and pipes for the last couple hours, waiting for my dad and uncle to get here. smh the last thing I want is a major fix-it project during finals weekend

So my brother got STEAM today and is starting to play PC games on his laptop.  He's also starting to play more videogames and borrow more stuff from me.  I'm not sure how I feel about this. 

See he's always been a casual gamer that played like 3-4 games a year or something that I'd recommend to him.  But he had a longterm gf and dudebros and lots of social life drinkin and partying and stuff.  Which is good.  Then last month his 4-5+ year relationship gf who was living with him for the last few years left him and moved out.  Since then he's starting to get more into videogames.  He still hangs out with his dudebros and drinks and parties (moreso now that he's single), but I'm kind of worried about him letting videogames fill up the void of his now non-relationship.  I want him to get out there and meet another girl and stuff and I'm afraid if he gets too into videogames like me he'll hurt his chances of a normal life. 

So yeah, kinda cool seeing him get STEAM and enter the world of PC gaming, but I hope this isn't the start of an addiction that leaves him single.

Worst part is she has turned into a walking advertisement for the cancer curing juice, a few friends tried to talk to her about it to at least get her to stop talking and constantly posting on her facebook about how great the miracle juice and it's business opportunities are but she just gives the monavie spiel and then gets seriously offended when facts are brought up.

I have a second cousin that tried recruiting me into his Quixtar camp (all already knew about how much of a scam it is since they're headquarters are only an hour away from Kalamazoo). He is educated and I always respected him, but one night out of the blue he calls me and asks if he can come over and talk with me (it was late at night during the week). I thought it was weird because the guy lives over an hour away. So he comes and gives  me this whole pitch about how it creates wealth and he is going to retire in 10 years (he was only 35 or so). I knew what it was as soon as he opened his mouth, but I let him go on since he is family and like I said I looked up to this guy a bit since he was older, had a nice family, and was educated. He kept assuring me that it wasn't a pyramid scheme and that the guys that run the business are "systems geniuses" when I voiced a few concerns, telling me that "it just works". I told him I would think about it and he left me a video to watch along with some free products, which I tried to refuse. Anyways, I never watched the video and I threw out the product because of my moral opposition to their business model.

I honestly don't know how anyone could be suckered into these things. The only thing I can think of is how (at least in this case) they sell the company as a "good christian company" and sometimes people's hope for something clouds their judgment. The business my cousin was involved in was called TEAM. It took some digging to find out that they are actually a subsidiary of Amway/Quixtar. I haven't spoken much to the guy since, but I when I heard that he was trying to recruit my dad (who has a penchant to forget skepticism when it comes to family matters) and my 18 year old kid brother, I wrote up a pretty long paper on why they shouldn't join. Fucking sickening. And these companies actually tell you to try to recruit your family members first, and if you don't get rich they tell you that its your own fault and you need to buy more instructional videos, or whatever it is they make their money selling. I have no idea how these organizations are still legal

screw outlines, it's all about flash cards.  well, downloading other people's outlines and making flash cards out of them.

I feel kind of stupid going through my notes and briefs for the semester.  I spent so much time on shit I could have taught myself in about an hour. A lot of flesh and tears into reading cases closely, then feeling intimidated while profs went off on bullshit that I had no idea about, only to go back to an outline and read a two sentence summary in a treatise that sums it up in a second.

if I survive till next semester, I'm going to do things differently.

Flash cards are alright, but that takes time to write them all!

If I actually take legit notes, then I just put them into a long outline .doc file and then I turn that into a short major points outline .txt file and I memorize the .txt while reading over the doc a bunch of a times so random facts will actually be recalled on the test.

writing them is like 80% of the learning process-- that's when it all gets cemented in my brain.  then I bring them everywhere with me and bust them out whenever I have a minute. 

That worked well for contracts and torts (which I have tomorrow), but I think property is going to require a different approach.  It's completely open-book (assigned text), open-note, and it's the subject I know jack shit about, so I'm gonna have to seriously cram and make a nicely searchable package for it.  I have 4 days for it, so I'm not too worried.

If there's a reason they don't deserve praise, ignoring Paul Banks fucking HORRIBLE lyrics for a moment, it's because they're wholly derivative.  Almost offensively so -- they're about on the same level as Jet as far as originality is concerned.  Even so, "Turn on the Bright Lights" would've been touted as a classic even in the 80's heyday of post-punk.  It's a great album (again, if you can ignore the lyrics).

And yes, I realize the irony of this post after just saying there's nothing wrong with Vampire Weekend.

So my brother got STEAM today and is starting to play PC games on his laptop.  He's also starting to play more videogames and borrow more stuff from me.  I'm not sure how I feel about this. 

See he's always been a casual gamer that played like 3-4 games a year or something that I'd recommend to him.  But he had a longterm gf and dudebros and lots of social life drinkin and partying and stuff.  Which is good.  Then last month his 4-5+ year relationship gf who was living with him for the last few years left him and moved out.  Since then he's starting to get more into videogames.  He still hangs out with his dudebros and drinks and parties (moreso now that he's single), but I'm kind of worried about him letting videogames fill up the void of his now non-relationship.  I want him to get out there and meet another girl and stuff and I'm afraid if he gets too into videogames like me he'll hurt his chances of a normal life. 

So yeah, kinda cool seeing him get STEAM and enter the world of PC gaming, but I hope this isn't the start of an addiction that leaves him single.
It's probably better than banging some barmaid on the rebound. Well, safer. Not better.

Let him do his thing and escape for a bit. That's what any rebound is about.

Roommate is starting to piss me off. He keeps to himself for the most part which I like but recently I've started having issues with respect to cleaning the house. Every day he cooks a couple times: a big breakfast for lunch, and some heated up food at dinner. Initially he'd always wash his pans after cleaning, but now he doesn't clean shit. I like listening to talk radio while cleaning the kitchen, and I really can't cook unless the kitchen is clean; in short I do lots of cleaning in there. I'm guessing he thinks I'm the designated kitchen bitch. I'll have to talk to him about this, but I don't want to sound combative or anything.

Yesterday I came home and noticed someone had taken my biscuits out the freezer and put them on the floor, where they had almost defrosted. I'm guessing it was my room mate because the biscuits had been replaced in the freezer by some food he bought.

I can't really complain about him listening to loud ass corny urban Christian music or listening to sermons from Creflo Dollar. Kinda used to that from hanging out with cousins/aunts/etc.

Update to my story:

What happened dude, why the rage?

I really don't know.  Maybe that is where the therapy would come in at.  I'm at a good paying job but for some reason, I feel the need to keep shooting myself in the foot.  I didn't really screw up on any of the work but my people skills with my co-workers suffered greatly.  They still do stuff for me on occasion but I can hear them talking...

Which sucks because I never really had problems with people I worked with until this job, my first career job.  Yet I am all too willing to firebomb my career with the company.  Management definitely notices but at the same time, I received a raise, bonus pay, and great reviews.  Which puzzles me a bit but I came to that realization yesterday and it was very sobering.  I feel like a complete piece of shit and I'm not sure if I can resurrect things to the way they were at the beginning.  I'll do my best to try but if I can't, I understand completely.


It's good that you're recognizing that stuff before it gets out of hand.  Maybe you can apologize to your co-workers?  If that's awkward, then just start doing little things for the people you think are the most pissed.  If you can calm down and fly straight for a few weeks, it'll be back to normal.

I apologized to the one who seemed the most pissed.  We talked for 20 minutes about various things.  We were all pretty chatty about stuff but I wasn't invited to lunch with the rest of the group  :-\  Yes, I have become that guy.

I guess there is the job transfer but it is a demotion (maybe a $8000-9000 pay cut) and I have crippling student loan debt from stupid and shitty financial decisions ($80,000).  I have nearly $20,000 in savings.  My plan might be to "live off of the savings" so to speak and put down entire paychecks towards the debt until I can get it down to more manageable levels.  The pay cut will sting because that would effectively put off paying them off for another couple of years.  The interest on my student loans are fantastic (3.1%) so if there is an opportunity to pay off as much principal as I can, now would be the time to do it before interest rates surge (if they do)

On the other hand, if I keep my job, I keep my current salary (including my new raise) but I'm in an isolated area with nothing to do and co-workers who want little to do with me.  I always had a lot of friends and never really experienced the cold shoulder before.  At first, I didn't care but as other BS kept piling up, those little rejections here and there are taking a toll.

The student loan debt is the biggest factor here.  I don't mind a pay cut but the loans man, the loans... :'(

My best strategy is to take the pay cut, start with a clean slate, hope to hell my parents will let me live with them for a few months, live off of the savings nest egg and start putting down entire paychecks towards the loans.  Then find my own place and taper off the loan payments as since they are consolidated, I can pay off little chunks of the loan so my minimums are reduced.

I've never hit this low in my life to be honest, which explains the whining.

Just needed to rant for a bit.

That sucks.  I had a final like that.  The professor every lecture would summarize a newspaper clip and most people would tune out.  Well, on the final, 25% of the grade depended on those summaries.  He never said to take notes on them and nobody else did.  Ah well.

Thanks.  The transfer almost sounds like a done deal.  I had a boss put in a good word and they were already talking of transfer paperwork.  I have the interview on Monday.  I just need to show that I'm willing to learn (I am) and that I would be a good fit.

I'm done with the rage but now is the anxiety.  Reading those fluff pieces on positive thinking work but it is never that easy.  I'll keep pushing forward.  Feels good getting it out.

It wasn't. But it wasn't just about that; he also went off on me after the third time I made the request and said some pretty inexcusable shit. If we take for a given that I feel absolute hatred towards this ex, then the situation was really unavoidable, all things considered.

But dude, it's just Facebook. You let things get this heated over Facebook.

Is this ex the girl you were going to leave Korea for? Sounds like you got too invested too fast.

I had some random $10 extra charge on my phone bill that was unaccounted for. A call to Indian billing support did nothing, as they came up with all these reasons why the charge was there (hint: if you have to come up with more than one, it's bogus), but I guess they expected that as an American that I am unable to count - and nothing they stated added up to $10.

After I spoke to a supervisor, who told me it had to do with the fact that I wasn't paying what I should have been paying (total lunacy), I asked for his name, employee ID and supervisor. After that, he took off the charge and discounted my bill. :lol

Still, trying to sell me that it's because of some $24 S&H fee ("Uh, wouldn't I be paying $24 extra instead of, I don't know, $10?!") or a rollover activation fee or an unpaid fee from a  previous bill or what have you was pretty amusing in retrospect. If YOU don't know why it's there, don't make up reasons.

Update to my story:

What happened dude, why the rage?

I really don't know.  Maybe that is where the therapy would come in at.  I'm at a good paying job but for some reason, I feel the need to keep shooting myself in the foot.  I didn't really screw up on any of the work but my people skills with my co-workers suffered greatly.  They still do stuff for me on occasion but I can hear them talking...

Which sucks because I never really had problems with people I worked with until this job, my first career job.  Yet I am all too willing to firebomb my career with the company.  Management definitely notices but at the same time, I received a raise, bonus pay, and great reviews.  Which puzzles me a bit but I came to that realization yesterday and it was very sobering.  I feel like a complete piece of shit and I'm not sure if I can resurrect things to the way they were at the beginning.  I'll do my best to try but if I can't, I understand completely.


It's good that you're recognizing that stuff before it gets out of hand.  Maybe you can apologize to your co-workers?  If that's awkward, then just start doing little things for the people you think are the most pissed.  If you can calm down and fly straight for a few weeks, it'll be back to normal.

I apologized to the one who seemed the most pissed.  We talked for 20 minutes about various things.  We were all pretty chatty about stuff but I wasn't invited to lunch with the rest of the group  :-\  Yes, I have become that guy.

I guess there is the job transfer but it is a demotion (maybe a $8000-9000 pay cut) and I have crippling student loan debt from stupid and shitty financial decisions ($80,000).  I have nearly $20,000 in savings.  My plan might be to "live off of the savings" so to speak and put down entire paychecks towards the debt until I can get it down to more manageable levels.  The pay cut will sting because that would effectively put off paying them off for another couple of years.  The interest on my student loans are fantastic (3.1%) so if there is an opportunity to pay off as much principal as I can, now would be the time to do it before interest rates surge (if they do)

On the other hand, if I keep my job, I keep my current salary (including my new raise) but I'm in an isolated area with nothing to do and co-workers who want little to do with me.  I always had a lot of friends and never really experienced the cold shoulder before.  At first, I didn't care but as other BS kept piling up, those little rejections here and there are taking a toll.

The student loan debt is the biggest factor here.  I don't mind a pay cut but the loans man, the loans... :'(

My best strategy is to take the pay cut, start with a clean slate, hope to hell my parents will let me live with them for a few months, live off of the savings nest egg and start putting down entire paychecks towards the loans.  Then find my own place and taper off the loan payments as since they are consolidated, I can pay off little chunks of the loan so my minimums are reduced.

I've never hit this low in my life to be honest, which explains the whining.

Just needed to rant for a bit.
I'm pretty sure that's the main point of this thread anyway.

If you were really inappropriate, there's going to be repercussions, and setting things right is going to take time. It might be good practice for you? What about getting professional help, and working it through?

Going back to your parents to take a pay cut and postpone paying off your loans doesn't sound like the most progressive plan available.

Who said anything about all nighters :P  If I start studying for my test tomorrow at 10pm, I can probably get to sleep by 3am and since the test isn't until 12 I can get a full sleep.  Unless I wake up at 8am again  :-\

It's only 4pm and I'm feeling sleepy but I gotta go in an hour for the test, so not really enough time to nap.  Gonna drink some coke and then take the test and hope for the best.  I may need to take like a 2 hour nap from 10pm-12am and then study from 12-4am.

Tomorrow is fun as well.  Get back from my test at 5pm and then just "start" studying for my Wills & Trusts final at 9am fri morning.  Thankfully the class is easy and we didn't cover much, so I can probably get it all studied by midnight and get my sleep.

Not sure why I'm posting this here but I'm on a plane flying to Yuma Arizona and I'm just trying to get some kind of distraction from my current situation.

My dad had total liver and kidney failure a few days ago and is currently terminal, in a coma. He was an alcoholic for as long as I can remember...I have very few memories about my dad that doesn't include him having a drink in his hand...so this wasn't completely unexpected, but it's still incredibly painful. Anyway, my dad was trying to take care of  my mom, who is in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's so she doesn't understand what's going on or who I am or where she is. My dad was never up to the task of taking care of my mom, especially since the guy started drinking from the moment he woke up until the moment he passed out at night.  He'd just take my mom to the bar, sit her down and feed her a hot dog while he got blitzed.  I never understood why he insisted on doing it himself instead of getting some professional help - maybe it was to save money - who knows.  My sister and I have always been willing to pay for my mom's care but he always refused to let us get involved, and he'd get pretty angry about it. When I found out last month that my mom's weight had dropped down into the 90's, I called protective services thinking that maybe they could get my mom out of that environment and into a proper care facility but that only seemed to make the situation worse.  My sister and I pleaded with my dad to sell that damn house in Arizona and move to LA so they could be close to my sister, her husband, and their grandkids who they never have any contact with but he was absolutely against it.

So the other day I call down there to check up on them and he said wasn't feeling well.  The guy had pretty serious lower GI bleed a few weeks back so I told him that he needs to go to the hospital but he insisted it was something he ate.  I got pretty upset with him and we had it out on the phone....again.  I wish I could go back in time and have that conversation over.  I'm going to be living in a sea of regret for the rest of my life knowing that the last time I was able to talk to my dad I was a cocksucker.  I just want to tell him one last time that I love him.  No matter how much chaos and pain he put our family through, I still love him.  It hurts.

The doctor says my dad has maybe only a day or two left to live.  According to his wishes, we're not going to keep him on life support and he's currently on comfort care only so they can make his last few days as easy on him as possible.  I'm on my way down there now so I can be there when he passes and to take care of my mom.  My sister and I have power of attorney now so we'll be taking our mom to an Alzheimer's care home in LA probably in the next day or two.  There's so much to do....it's overwhelming.

I just got off the phone with my Hollywood pals, and was told - quite possibly - one of the funniest stories ever. It involved Michael Bay, no less. I can't share it over the Internet, but I was kind of at a loss. :lol

On one hand, nobody can tell you what your priorities are.  If you decide that loyalty from a friend is really important, that's your choice.  As long as you're honest with yourself about your motivations and willing to deal with the consequences, you should feel free to live your social life how you want.




On the other hand, what are you, fourteen?  I mean Jesus.

Genghis, if a longtime friend of yours said "You know Genghis, I'm not comfortable with my ex being able to read stuff I on your wall. You guys only met that one time when I brought her to a party anyway. Could you do me a favor and de-friend her for me?" would you do it?

I'd probably pretend I didn't hear the request and start avoiding the friend who asked me to do it.  Too controlling for my taste.

I'm ready for my PR test I guess, but I'm in a pretty pissy mood because Play-asia fucked up my FFXIII, Mushihime Futari, and Tales of Graces order (from SEPTEMBER) so bad that I'm going to end up getting none of them until who knows when, not get any of the pre-order bonuses, and pay about an extra $100 in price-hikes and separate shipping charges to get them in a reasonable time.  That's a nice x-mas present.

/switching all my business over to ncsx permanently.  Just wish they didn't charge $9 for the cheapest 3-5 day shipping and price their games $5 higher than P-A.  :(

I've always had an unwritten rule about not posting pics online of anyone that I know, let alone myself, but I'm just sitting here going through old photos and came across this one from 6 years ago.  I have very few pics of just me and my dad together and the ones that I do have bring up some bad memories, but this one....this was a good day.  Since I've already opened up, I might as well share it.

I don't have a scanner handy so I had to take a pic of a pic from my phone so that's why it looks so funky.  The weird look on my face...well, there's no explanation for that.

Ah, HSMP you've made me cry at work, you weenie. I lost my dad a couple years ago, and I've also got some ACA shit so your story hits home for me.

I'm sorry for your loss; be kind to yourself where you can. Your communication problem with your father was not solely your responsibility, so you should not put the burden for it entirely on your own shoulders. Relating to alcoholics is also a lifelong trial, and you should cut yourself additional slack there too. Being the adult child of an alcoholic carries special challenges. Just... don't be mean to yourself.

Well, how much would you be willing to pay for one that's 99% new?

The story is basically that I bought an 8800gt around two years ago, didn't realize my motherboard at the time was trash and didn't even have pci-e, and the card was only used to look at the connections required.

I'd give you upwards to $70 maybe. Considering you can get a much beastier card for double that. That seems to be going price on ebay as well.

Post by: Olivia Wilde Homo on December 18, 2009, 12:53:24 PM
Update to my story:

What happened dude, why the rage?

I really don't know.  Maybe that is where the therapy would come in at.  I'm at a good paying job but for some reason, I feel the need to keep shooting myself in the foot.  I didn't really screw up on any of the work but my people skills with my co-workers suffered greatly.  They still do stuff for me on occasion but I can hear them talking...

Which sucks because I never really had problems with people I worked with until this job, my first career job.  Yet I am all too willing to firebomb my career with the company.  Management definitely notices but at the same time, I received a raise, bonus pay, and great reviews.  Which puzzles me a bit but I came to that realization yesterday and it was very sobering.  I feel like a complete piece of shit and I'm not sure if I can resurrect things to the way they were at the beginning.  I'll do my best to try but if I can't, I understand completely.


It's good that you're recognizing that stuff before it gets out of hand.  Maybe you can apologize to your co-workers?  If that's awkward, then just start doing little things for the people you think are the most pissed.  If you can calm down and fly straight for a few weeks, it'll be back to normal.

I apologized to the one who seemed the most pissed.  We talked for 20 minutes about various things.  We were all pretty chatty about stuff but I wasn't invited to lunch with the rest of the group  :-\  Yes, I have become that guy.

I guess there is the job transfer but it is a demotion (maybe a $8000-9000 pay cut) and I have crippling student loan debt from stupid and shitty financial decisions ($80,000).  I have nearly $20,000 in savings.  My plan might be to "live off of the savings" so to speak and put down entire paychecks towards the debt until I can get it down to more manageable levels.  The pay cut will sting because that would effectively put off paying them off for another couple of years.  The interest on my student loans are fantastic (3.1%) so if there is an opportunity to pay off as much principal as I can, now would be the time to do it before interest rates surge (if they do)

On the other hand, if I keep my job, I keep my current salary (including my new raise) but I'm in an isolated area with nothing to do and co-workers who want little to do with me.  I always had a lot of friends and never really experienced the cold shoulder before.  At first, I didn't care but as other BS kept piling up, those little rejections here and there are taking a toll.

The student loan debt is the biggest factor here.  I don't mind a pay cut but the loans man, the loans... :'(

My best strategy is to take the pay cut, start with a clean slate, hope to hell my parents will let me live with them for a few months, live off of the savings nest egg and start putting down entire paychecks towards the loans.  Then find my own place and taper off the loan payments as since they are consolidated, I can pay off little chunks of the loan so my minimums are reduced.

I've never hit this low in my life to be honest, which explains the whining.

Just needed to rant for a bit.
I'm pretty sure that's the main point of this thread anyway.

If you were really inappropriate, there's going to be repercussions, and setting things right is going to take time. It might be good practice for you? What about getting professional help, and working it through?

Going back to your parents to take a pay cut and postpone paying off your loans doesn't sound like the most progressive plan available.

Apparently I won't take a pay cut if I were to get the job.  I had this confirmed yesterday.

I agree with you on the rest.  I understand that it takes time to get out of the hole I dug myself in and I'm fine with doing what it takes.  The job transfer was something independent of the situation entirely though.  I'm not exactly bailing out the job.  As for profession help, I want to take it but I'm just seeing where the job goes, what my insurance covers on that front, etc.

You make a lot of good points.  I have a lot of savings I'm going to live off of and put down entire paychecks towards the debt until I get to a point where I need to "refill" my savings up again.  I put in some effort to mend a lot of work relationships and they all worked well.  I understand it takes time and if the transfer falls through, I'm willing to put in the work.

Thanks for the advice.

Its a mail-in rebate, which kinda sucks, but the card is slightly better than your old one.

T EXP: I apologize for the confusion, but did you get demoted or face a forced transfer? Sorry, I couldn't tell from your post. That sucks about possibly having burned some bridges, but I doubt its beyond repair. In fact, if you own up (which it sounds like that's what you've started doing) to your past mistakes, I bet your coworkers will have even more respect for you.

I didn't get demoted - the transfer would almost be like a demotion.  It wasn't forced.  This shit is all coincidental.  Yeah, I imagine any damage I made wasn't permanent and I probably even overblown it a bit but this is my career so I'm going to through my work experience so far with a fine toothcomb to see what I did right and wrong.

My father passed away in May.  He was an alcoholic as well that I didn't have that great of a relationship with either.  So I can definitely relate.  Everything will get easier and those feelings of wishing you had a better relationship will ease.  Those are definitely the worst part.  Whatever happened between you two, he knew deep down that you cared about him.  Otherwise you wouldn't argue so much about trying to help him.  Take care, man and keep your head up.

I feel like i'm stuck in a rut and have no place to go in my life. I don't know what I want to do, I don't have any money, no car, no job, a broken leg, and i'm stuck in east bumfuck. The worst part of this all is seeing friends are succeeding and all this junk and i'm stuck and can't see them.

How did you guys find out what you wanted to do in life or stuff? I think I need to decide and soon.

I like how I became a pedo with a dungeon. There's no continuity! Evilbore has turned into Family Guy.

That reminds me of that time when I kidnapped Gary Coleman and brought him to my dungeon where I dipped his head in my jumbo size cotton candy machine until his head was covered completely with cotton candy and then I licked it off slowly and when I ate enough to see his his fear-stricken face, I said "tell anyone and I kill you" and then let him go.

flannel girl was a strong visual.  and there was the creepiness factor stemming from Malek's inability to speak with her.  there was even that one episode where she saw him staring at her breasts or something and he was sweating alot?

cute girl is generic, and they've spoken to each other like normal human beings so that generic element is compounded further.  I'm just ambivalent about malek becoming well-adjusted I guess.

lol I just noticed the "is" on that sentence, in my defence that guy has no cultural or religios reason to not drink, he was just a fucking antisocial nerd that didn't drink during his teen years and now he hates the taste of alcohol, he was talking about how he was not going to drink becouse he always gets an stomach ache the next morning even before we started drinking and another one of his excuses is "I don't drink with dudes" but he gets sick when his around  womens(true story) so I keep telling him to get a fucking cat since he can't be around fucking humans beings.

Day 3/10 for my vacation.

My car still has problems and the car dealership said it would take two days to get the part in (which would have been Wednesday) but as of Friday, they did not get it in.  Realizing that it is taking a month to figure some simple shit out and probably a long ass time to get the part in and repairs, they gave me a loaner car, which is pretty nice.  So now I'm back at my parents' place, where we'll have our Christmas dinner tonight.  Should be excellent as we're having grilled prime rib and scalloped potatoes :hyper :drool  My parents are turning into winefags, I should have asked Cohen or someone who knows whats up about what wine goes well with grilled prime rib.

Got my job interview tomorrow for my potential job transfer.  Not really nervous at all and it is just an hour.  I've interviewed with the man before and it was an hour timeslot then but it wound up lasting an hour and a half.  We'll see what happens.

Kind of a nice way to wrap up an otherwise stressful and hectic year, although I will be back to work on the 28th.

Have a happy holidays, EB!

Aren't such confessions subject to confessional privilege in the US? No such religious communication class privilege exists in Canada,* but such communications can be subject to privilege on a case-by-case basis.

I'm not aware of that privilege in the U.S.  Therapists have to warn people if their patients say they'll kill them, but innocent bystanders don't have any duty to help each other (unless they are in control of the instrumentality or do the damage themselves.)  You can make a citizen's arrest if you reasonably believe someone just committed a felony...so I don't know where confessions booths fit into all that.

edit:  as for House, I dunno.  I watch it randomly.  I go to Hulu and look for the episode with the most interesting sounding disease.

Half these patent cases seem to involve Apotex, a producer of generic drugs in Canada. Their modus operandi involves trying to invalidate patents so that they can produce generic drugs sooner. In one case they tried to invalidate a patent by claiming the patent lacked utility. They won and then made a generic drug out of this "useless" patent (the case was won because the patent holder failed to disclose information, not because the patent did not have utility).

I just had 2 doughnuts and a coke at midnight.  I had three doughnuts and two coke at 8 already too.  I hope I die in my sleep from pancreas failure. 

I misread that as "pancake failure." Mmmm. Pancakes.

last night my moms cable box/tv decided to shit the bed and i spent an hour figuring out whether or not it was a cable box issue or a tv issue. at the end I never even really got an answer. get fucked video and sound with the two cable boxes (hers and mine) and my cable box works fine on my tv. figured it was a tv issue, right? well when I grabbed my wii and plugged it in using component cables in the same inputs I get no issues at all. what the hell.

I drank way too much last night. Like an entire bottle of scotch on top of all the beer I was drinking.

... but it was pretty awesome. I went with friends and family to a family friend's house (say that three times fast) who is an obsessive Beatles fan. Malek, you'd probably go nuts if you saw his stuff - it's like an music historian's wet dream. He has framed vinyl album covers (from the UK) adorned on the wall for house art. I was honestly impressed, and he schooled me on his knowledge of The Beatles.

Also, my parents' friends' daughter has apparently harbored a grudge against me for the past four or five years, after I said something to her I don't even remember at a bar after many alcoholic beverages. Like, this was back in 2004. I was too busy living my life, y'know, for the past decade, to even realize it was an issue. But after a bottle of scotch, I became a softie and apologized and now there will be peace in our time.

Title: Re: Official Thread of Flogging the Log: A Place for Better Random Talk
Post by: The Fake Shemp on December 24, 2009, 10:19:03 AM
She didn't want to go into it, and even if she did, I probably would not have remembered. I could barely recall where my pants were this morning.

... but apparently, she said I said something judgmental about her, despite the fact that I "didn't know her."

I hate that phrase, because it's often said defensively when someone usually says something accurate about someone else. I mean, I've never lived with the broad - and my folks know her a lot more - but just because I haven't seen her poop, doesn't mean I'm not well-equipped to make an accurate judgment about her personality. Especially if I was drinking; you might as well call scotch "truth serum for Will Federman". Nothing disingenuous comes out of my mouth after a few drinks.

If I had to guess, I probably questioned her life experience (or lack thereof). I love my folks and their friends, but they are very much a reflection with what is wrong with upper middle-class (i.e. WHITE) America: affluent, politically indifferent and self-absorbed. This girl has adopted the same traits, but with an added dose of entitlement courtesy of MY SUPER SWEET 16 generation.

I was raised on a farm - literally - and both my parents struggled to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table until I was almost on my way out of the house. She has no context for what qualifies as a hardship, because her father (a very nice man) has literally provided everything for her during her entire life.

Ugh.

I have to see her again tonight, and I kind of regret apologizing to her after typing this all out.

Pretty much, T EXP (on both counts, although the hangover has affected me slightly more than Arvie's Disease).

She's also the "princess" (but the middle child of three daughters oddly enough) that grew up within her family's social circle, so all the wives have kind of adopted her as a daughter - including my mom (even though she has only known her for like seven years). It's absolutely sickening to hear everyone placate her ("Oh, that's so terrible!").

Her long-time boyfriend broke up with her and moved out (although the way he did it was pretty awful, he waited until she was out of town then packed up his shit and called her father to relay the message he wasn't coming back), so she's been quite emotional. The highlight of last evening was when she proclaimed she was "SO OVER" him, but then proceeded to tell us how she sent his mom a Christmas card (because she still likes her) and then called the ex to make sure his mom got the card - but the ex said he can't talk to his mom about her because "it makes his mom so angry that he made such a big mistake lol am i rite?"

After I heard that, I kind of understood why the guy packed up and left like the Baltimore Colts. He just had to escape.

I hate you.


Six months single, no potential for action.  Just two awful blind dates in September set up by my best friend's gf, and one date off of POF with someone who was, *ahem* larger in real life than her pics suggested.

I think I'm in significant danger of backsliding to my ex, since I know she'd get back together in a heartbeat.

Should I just start walking down the street and greeting women with "hi, I'm a Mountie.  Want to go for dinner with me tomorrow?"

We can switch. There's a chick with a boyfriend trying to hook up with me, an ex that won't really go away, a bisexual dame I know from high school that wants to give it a go and this broad that a friend of mine told I could cast her in "the movies". You can have at all of them.

It's not really a blessing. My ex is my ex for a reason, so I could care less. The high school chick was cute in high school, but the last decade has not been so kind to her. The girl with a boyfriend is pretty cute, but there's no possibility of it going anywhere; even if we get involved, I could never trust her (she broke up with her boyfriend because she was cheating on him with me?).

And I'm not going to use my considerable Hollywood clout (which is none) to fool this chick into sleeping with me, which pretty much makes me feel pathetic (I have to use the possibility of me casting her in a flick to get laid?).

Boogie, sometimes it's better to have no women at all chasing you, than 4 women who you want nothing to do with... When I was single (admittedly, only 2 months ago) I always felt more depressed when it was the fatties that liked me and not the cute girls.

It's just frustrating that, a couple of months after breaking up with my ex, I was all:

"allrighty, I'm ready to try some dating, I'm a different, more confident person than three years ago, LET'S DO THIS"

and instead, the results were, instead:

"...*crickets chirping*"

O SNAP :lol

Livejournal time.

I hung out with the same family acquaintances today, and I made a legitimate attempt to mingle, but it's hopeless. I've never met a social circle so obsessed with material items and money. One of their daughters is thinking about using her considerable savings to go to Europe and finish her MBA in London, and was basically laughed out of the room ("What good would going to Europe do for your life lol u loser?").

Also, one of the family friend's sons is big into film and we started to chat it up. I let him know what I'm doing, and said if something breaks, I'd see if I could help him. I already told him I'd give him a contact at Sony to pitch his stuff to. I was then told by my folks that could never happen, because it could lead to him not getting a degree and his parents would be angry at my parents. (wtf?)

It's all so fucking ridiculous. Everyone was talking about country clubs, golf trips, evil socialist government, new cars, etc. The kids that want real life experience and want to chase their dreams were tirelessly mocked. What a vapid fucking existence.

Then I tried to make a legitimate effort to be nice from the daughter from last night, and she twisted everything that came out of my mouth to be some kind of personal insult. I mean, no offense, those who know me will say I have no problem being sarcastic and sharp to the point where it hurts, so if I'm not trying, wait until you see me go full throttle. I was raised with Jews, and have formed a tough skin as a result. Divas can fuck off.

... So tonight pretty much sucked. And worst of all, it left a pretty bad impression of my mom. I've known this woman, and she's struggled the vast majority of her life. She knows what it's like to live in a car. But she gets a cushy job and marries a pretty well-off guy, and they fabricate this alternate reality that is made up of degrees, money, stock options, tee times and status symbols (one of the wives got an anniversary ring that someone could buy a house with). And then they insulate it with friends of similar mindsets.

I know my mom has longed for more - she came from a bunch of broke Midwestern baptists in the middle of nowhere that were happy just to graduate high school and work minimum wage jobs every day of their life to provide for their family - but it's like she's lost all contact with her roots.

That is too bad but that kind of stuff (inventing an alternate reality where your life in relative poverty never existed) is common with upper-middle class people.  They believe they are on the cusp of greatness and real wealth if it wasn't for those freeloader welfare queens popping out their sixth kid.  It's happening with a couple of my friends who are on the track to make six figures in their life or married someone from a rich family.  It's sad.

Just in my experience anyway.

Most white porn chicks (and latinas) are hideous too but look better with a few pounds of makeup caked on their faces than if a black chick did the same.

If a porn actress is really good looking, she wouldn't be doing porn in the first place.

Christmas log :o

Spent Christmas Eve at my uncle's (on my dad's side) house, along with my cousin and grandma; same uncle who wants me to sell his watch online for $250k. It was a pretty uneventful night until my uncle's friend showed up with a mattress. He got kicked out of his house by his wife lmao. He looked like a nerdy, older black guy with glasses, and got into numerous arguments with my mom about marriage lol, which was ironic.

Then on Christmas morning we drove to my grandma's (on my mom's side) house. Had a huge breakfast with biscuits, fried salmon, grits, eggs, bacon, ham, etc. In terms of semi-interesting stuff

-My uncle shaved my granddad and wound up making a pretty nasty cut on his neck. No one noticed it until late at night, after my uncle had long left. My grandma nearly exploded

-Every year this former crack head comes over; I think he's related to my grandma, I don't know exactly. Anyway he's like 50 and can barely talk, often replying to everything with a weird "uh huh" sound. He lives at a recovery house, and this year he had some nice clothes on and was able to say a few things. He's definitely looking and sounding better than he used to.

-I have a homeless cousin who's a total asshole. He's like 37 years old and looks like a light skinned Rakim, and dresses like he's 15; yesterday he was in a weird mix of urban clothes (baggy jeans) and Hot Topic-esque clothes (studded belt, tight long sleeved shirt with skulls on it), all black. My grandma asked him to take his shoes off and he did, but 10 minutes later he put them back on in front of everybody. Then he'd interrupt conversations with details on his life. Like as the family took pictures with another cousin of mine's baby, he blurted out "I just learned my son had a kid, so I'm a grandad. He's three years old." Lots of SMH faces occurred. Then during dinner (gumbo every year mmmm) he dropped a crab leg on the ground and didn't pick it up. Eventually my grandma asked him to leave

-My oldest cousin and her husband from Chicago came which was awesome; I rarely get to see them. Then they started talking about Facebook, which was just sad

husband: I got 600 friends on facebook!
dad: ...
brother: I only have [not close to 600], wow!
husband: yea, everyday someone adds me
cousin: You guys should add us, do you like Mafia Wars?
me: nah...
husband: it's pretty cool man, you gotta add me when you get home ok?

They're both in their 40s smh. And when I looked them up I found out he actually has like 40 friends :rofl
(not going to add them unless they add me)

Going to do strength conditioning on Sunday, mechanical stuff/heavy weights on Wednesday or Thursday (depending on the weekly schedule) and cardio the rest of the week (three to four times a week).

I'm so fucking sore already.

Due to the weather, I haven't been to the gym in almost a couple of weeks now.  I feel soft :'(

Good luck.  As a former fat guy, the first few weeks are the hardest but once it becomes routine for you, it's pretty easy from there.

I went back and re-read the Green Shinobi vs. Boogie argument in my thread "The Case for an End to the Drug War," which can be found in the Dysfunctional Hall of Fame. That argument was a lot more even than some of you assholes made it out to be. Lamest "annihilation" ever. T234 probably annihilated me harder than anyone else did in that thread.

It's also amazing how quickly things turned catty on both sides. This forum would be a lot better if people were a little slower with the ad hominem attacks against people they disagree with, and I know I'm one of the people this applies to the most.

Nope, not really.  I'm just not going to accept any disingenuous niceties from you until you can demonstrate a commitment to not flipping out for more than 12 hours.

To go from "I'm sorry, I've been a douche, I will try to change" to throwing out insults less than 18 hours later does not inspire confidence in your ability to hold your shit together.

(in evidence of my "not holding grudges", in my early years at GAF, for whatever reason, I quite disliked Mandark, Drinky, and Triumph.  I thought they were assholes.

And while, in fact, Drinky and Triumph are assholes, they've all grown on me since.)

The continuing women misadventures of Boogie:

Need to get new glasses, so I invited this smoking hot french chick to go glasses-shopping with me this afternoon.  Told her I needed my new style to be "French-approved".

Enjoyable excursion, joking around, trying on goofy glasses, etc.  Weird moment was that when we pulled up to her place afterwards, we just kinda sat in her car chatting about nothing for 10 minutes.  In the end, got out of car, grabbed her number for any future fashion-related assistance, gave her a hug and that was that.

Just....couldn't make the move.  No natural opening to go for a kiss, and I just can't go for broke cold without some indicators of interest.  No playing with hair, no licking or biting of lips, no returning my few casual touches of her shoulder and knee.

So, now I'm still feeling like a chump not being able to tell if she's attracted or if I'm friendzoned.

Unless there is an awkward silence followed by clear indications that she needs to go or you have to exit the vehicle, you make the move. I don't think women really want to sit in a car for ten minutes talking about nothing.

The problem is unless you act fast now, you risk permanent placement in the friendzone. I'd call back in a day or so, tell her you had a great time and ask her on a more romantic excursion - like dinner.

Eh, don't let it get you down. Rejection is not the worst thing in the world unless you make it the worst thing in a world. I know that's tougher said than done, but you will live a life full of regrets if you don't pull the trigger once and awhile.

The key now is to make a call within a day or two, before the chick gets to mull over the lack of initiative and begins to justify her not-being-kissed as her not-wanting-to-be-kissed. And that's when you get permanent placement in the friend zone ("Eh, I wasn't really that interested in him anyway") and getting out of that jam is like winning a ground war in Asia.

And like Juice said, who would turn you down? :-*

No hookers, porn, or minibar at my hotel room last night, couldn't put Prole's words of wisdom to use. Complete disappointment, all I could do was read and chainsmoke. Then, when I finally decided to go to bed, I couldn't sleep for a solid 3 hours so I just thought about how much a minibar would help the process.

No hookers, porn, or minibar at my hotel room last night, couldn't put Prole's words of wisdom to use. Complete disappointment, all I could do was read and chainsmoke. Then, when I finally decided to go to bed, I couldn't sleep for a solid 3 hours so I just thought about how much a minibar would help the process.

Flying from Seattle->Vancouver, Vancouver->Tokyo now. I hope I sit next to someone cool on the Vancouver Tokyo flight.

Where did you stay? Seattle or out at the airport?

At the airport.

In Vancouver now getting my booze on pre-flight, I literally crossed a fake bridge through a fake nature setting through customs. They're really going for it with this winter olympics thing. Besides all of the fake nature shit, it's a super nice airport.

Just spent the last couple hours battling spyware. After I checked my mail this morning I got a prompt from "internet security 2010" telling me a couple trojans were spotted. I X'd out of it, but then my screen got blasted with the typical "omgwtfbbq you're infected" stuff.

Tried to get into safe mode, wouldn't work. So I just used my malwarebytes scan for two hours and it seems to have worked; definitely got rid of the hijacked wallpaper I had ("your system is under attack") and the constant warning popups :bow

I wonder if this has to do with Tube8's new layout; I've gotten a couple alerts while browsing the site since it was revamped. I was browsing the latina section late last night, as usual. hmm

Which is the main motivator. What about housing? Is that relatively affordable? Will you people accept my foreign currency?

I'm in Halifax Nova Scotia.  Housing can range anywhere from $300-800 CND a month depending on the location and the number of roommates.  Obviously, your American currency would need to be exchanged.  While a few years ago this would have worked in your favor, nowadays the difference is negligible.

The Universities you apply for will fill you in on all the important information.

I would grab some cash now.  All signs point to it going up after the new year.

Unless it's going to get worse than it's been the last couple months, I'd rather my cash sit in the bank and make interest for me instead of taking out mad yens and shoving them in a drawer for 90 days.

It's kinda nice using windows again.  Steam!  I'm running SFIV on my 11/08 macbook unibody....that's a 9400gm, 2.0 c2D, and 2 gb of DDR3.  720x480 (or something), everything low.  Or I can do 900x720 (something), but I have to disable backgrounds.  that's to keep at 60fps, most of the time.  I can't believe the game scales this low! 

on the other hand, all the little nitpicks I had with windows that drove me to mac are even more obvious now.

Early Martha, like first two or three episodes Martha, where she was a feisty rival to Doctor's wit, is my favorite of the modern female companions. Rose is just a groupie and Donna a bit of a stereotype, and Martha became a second groupie. Before that though, she rocked.

On the upside, I had absinthe for the first time (though it was probably what did me in), and I just found half an "extra strength" weed almond bar in my pocket :)

I hate Latin legal terms. They are usually unnecessary and simply serve to either impress or bewilder laypeople. Why is "volenti non fit injuria" preferable to "the plaintiff assumed the risk"? Why is "amicus curiae" preferable to "friend of the court"?

Lawyers often use Latin terms as if they were magical incantations. If a lawyer says res ipsa loquitur, the court is supposed to be memorized. But if he instead says "the thing speaks for itself," the court is going to be a lot more skeptical: "Really, the thing speaks for itself? Do go on!"

My car continues to have problems.

It's been acting up since November.  Such symptoms include the check engine light, service soon light, and on occasion, a reduced power light where my speed would automatically cut down to 10 mph or under.  Sometimes the low oil pressure and battery lights would flash.  Which sucks but the car still runs so it is most likely not an engine issue.  When the oil and battery lights hit, the car basically stalls.

Cue about a month of the back and forth with the mechanics and myself.  Cue about $300 (well, $280 if you want to get all technical n' shit) of ridiculously expensive cab rides and hitching rides with my co-workers.  This obviously is very stressful, which led to a lot of the dumb posts I made earlier in December (including the week break I took), lots of sleep deprivation because the cab rides I could get would be between 5 AM and 8 PM, so yeah, I'd work 15 hour days because there was no other way to go home.

Finally I bitch and get a loaner car because I had to make it to the interview.  They claimed to have fixed it but the bill sucked ($700) as it was a crank sensor that needed to be replaced along with some coolant issues that contributed to $400.  I was happy to pay it because it had to end, right?

Well, wrong.  The coolant lights and engine shit is all there again.  I suppose I have to hitch another ride on Monday, which I hate doing, but I'm getting tired of this dumb bullshit.  I'm considering becoming religious in the rare hopes that there is a God or Allah out there that will help me out in securing that job transfer.  It could be a pay cut but the cost of living on my own in relative isolation (other than getting rides from co-workers but this applies strictly to work; I'm fucked otherwise for doing anything else) might be more than I think.  You got the cab rides, you got the efficiency apartment (vs. living with parents or finding a place that isn't gouging you despite offering small space), and not being close to friends and family.

It might make for a contribution to White Whine but this crap is long since getting old.  I really can't afford a new car and besides, how would I actually get there and shop around, other than to shell out another $50-60 for a cab ride (plus waiting out in the cold for over an hour if one is not immediately available)?  I'll try to make the best of it but this is almost unreal.  I'm going to watch a movie tonight to get my mind off of it but god damn.

TL;DR version: I'm sick of this shit.

8 years old, 95,000 miles.

It has a year or two left on it but the car never had any problems up until November.  Good gas mileage as well.

I'm going to need to get a different car but I was hoping to wait until the tax return came in so I could put down a down payment and be more likely to get a reduction in interest rates.

The neighbor across the hall likes to keep his door open, meaning that I can hear everything that goes on in his apartment. So I turned on some Black Sabbath just now and kept increasing the volume until he slammed his door in anger.

I think I'm regressing from asocial to antisocial. Oh well.

i was listening to the Giantbomb GOTY 2008 podcast this morning because of how awesome the GOTY 2009 one was and while I may be in the minority putting MGS4 at the top, I totally don't understand the love for GTA4. Going down the list, I disagree'd with every single positive they all were claiming.


which also kinda makes me understand where people are coming from with MGS4 hate.

I was just playing modernized warfare 2 last night and the host quit, and so it apparently made me the host.  Completely unknown to me, my brother was torrenting 10 movies and so I got this message:

Had some snow last night - about 2 inches, the most we've had so far. Today I've been chilling either on the computer or reading in my room for the most part. Just now though I was making a late lunch (oatmeal) when my roommate came into the kitchen and mentioned his mom was going to be coming over to pick him up. I said uh, ok. Then he mentioned there was snow outside in the driveway, and she might have trouble getting in so I should go shovel asap.

me: how many times have you shoveled this year again?
him: um well none, but i thought you did that
me: i've done it after each time it's snowed right
him: yea
me: how about you go shovel

He hasn't shoveled yet lol. I don't think I'm being an ass, I'm just tired of him walking around like the privileged guest of the house. I clean up the kitchen every day, and every day he leaves his pans and dishes out after cooking. I don't really complain because I like having a clean kitchen, and I like listening to the radio in peace while doing so.

Haircuts are the worst.  All the stylists are super hot where I go and always want to talk.  It's horrible!  The last one when she found out I was a philo student suggested that I should become a song writer because they are kind of the same thing.  So I don't want them to talk to me but if they talk to another stylist then I feel inept and hurt.  Fuck getting your hair cut.

O ya the reason I came to post.  My Philosophy of Mind prof is smug, like smug emoticon smug, and came in fighting determinism pretty hard.  His solution to the mind body problem is to do away with the body and keep the mind.  A third of the class (three people) walked out half way though but that probably because he started talking about certain concepts with out giving the background to them, which I found rather nice.  He also picked his nose while he was talking.  Twice.

You miss quoted me btw.

He said the notion of the body wasn't particularly useful and should be done away with.  He gave some examples like talking about someones body is essentially talking about them or one wouldn't talk about the body of a hippo just the hippo.  Then he defined animals as conscious beings and proposed some overall metaphysics where there are two substances; everything is either an animal, a conscious being, or unconscious regular matter and it didn't makes sense so talk about the body of an animal with talking about the animal so the animal not the body is the true substance.  Therefor a particular thing is only ever made up of one substance which seemed to him to have solved the problem of a thing having two or more substances namely body and mind.  He followed this up by saying that when someone dies they become a different substance, as consciousness is no longer, and gave a 15 min talk about how this could work.  It's like he wants to give a form of monism where the body and mind are one but he still went on to make the distinction between conscious substance and the other.  I assume this is a set up for a strong freewill argument  ::)

First two days of work have went well, even though I don't have a computer set up yet. I am going to be exposed to SQL, VBA, and SAS (which I already have exposure to) so I am very excited. Anybody know of some good books to learn vba from?

It is soooo much better to work at a publicly traded company compared to my last job, a shitty CPA firm that employed 10 people.

I got a haircut this morning. During the haircut, the 60 year-old female barber kept talking about the Wii. FML.

Haircuts are the worst.  All the stylists are super hot where I go and always want to talk.  It's horrible!  The last one when she found out I was a philo student suggested that I should become a song writer because they are kind of the same thing.  So I don't want them to talk to me but if they talk to another stylist then I feel inept and hurt.  Fuck getting your hair cut.

Im in love with my hairdresser. She has a smokin' little body and knows that Saints Row is better than GTA. God I want to smell her tits so bad

Ugh, here I go again, down my slippery slope.

So there's this chick at the SPCA that I can tell always had a thing for me, but she's 7-8 years younger than I am, so I always shrugged it off. I made dinner plans with her fr Sunday, with the only prospect of fucking her till I'm bored of her. I'll tell her I'm not looking for anything serious, but you know women...

So, before my ski trip, sent a message to smoking hot french girl which was a very obvious date invitation.

She didn't get back to me.

Tonight, saw she was online on facebook, so decided to fire off a chat message:

Boogie: Hey, How did your new year's party go?
SHFG: hey ... how are you ... sorry i didnt get back to you .. ive been very busy at work .. in fact i had to
work on new yeAR`S eve .... and been working non stop since ...

..five minutes of inane flirty back and forth...

Boogie: and if you ever want to try *not* working 24/7, just for the change of pace mind you, feel free to let
me know, and we can hang out.
SHFG: good .. ; ) ...


So.  Not totally dead in the water, but the ball's in her court due to work, and that usually means no follow up.  We'll see.

Got a date on Saturday with a cute friend-of-a-friend from the New Year's trip though.  She's a bit too quiet/passive though, not sure how this will go.

During the course you will be expected to participate in various role-plays.  Sometimes you will be assigned a negotiation partner; sometimes you will negotiate alone.  Attendance is mandatory and preparation of the roleplays is expected.

You will have a major negotiation assignment for which you may choose a partner.  If you do not choose a partner, you will be assigned one.

The course requires two evening meetings off campus with lawyer coaches; one in January and one in February at times to be arranged with the coach.  You will also be required to conduct your final negotiation at snip in the evening on snip.

In my experience, the hairstylists in their 40s who want to be in their 20s are the worst.  They look like tanned leather and are so focused on pretending they're as hot as they were when they were 25 that everything else, including their work, suffers as a result.

My haircuts are generally low maintenance but middle aged hairstylists who want to be young again (I suspect many women do, along with men, but these are the worst of the worst of that type) could fuck up a cup of coffee.

Well, why'd you take her on a date? Did you not want a relationship with her? Additionally, are you not into her because she's kinda thick(explain this BTW, I need an example)?

Wasn't trying to take her on a date. Was just trying to see Avatar and eat food.

@ am nintenho: yeah, she has a really cool personality.

Taking a girl for dinner and then cinema is a very date-like move. It can also be platonic, but that would have had to be made clear from the get-go. How you didn't realise this when you took her is beyond me.

First one was easy enough, it was 'Always Look On the Bright Side of Life' from Life of Brian. I failed on the second one though, which was Lovefool by the Cardigans, which is apparently from Romeo + Juliet. oh well..

Too bad I'm at the point in law school where grades don't count for anything and I could have just as well gotten all 2.0s and life would be the same.  But it's the personal satisfaction of kicking ass that is the reward  :elephant :elephant

What Malek said and no, having a good gpa at a tier 3 school will not get you into a top 10 law school  :lol

Went to an interview today for a position as a typesetter, they pay is pretty good for a student so I guess I'm going to be doing a LOT of typing if I get it, they are gonna call me later today with the answer :hyper.

I hope that the PC has internet access so I can read the bore while not typing.

and for spellchecking since I'm also gonna be doing translations :shh

Went to a second interview today, it went pretty good ( I kinda lie a little about my job experience, I hope she doesn't call any of my former workplaces :teehee) waiting for a call to know if I got the job or no.

It's pretty cold here in Atlanta.  Yesterday it was reported that it was colder here than in Anchorage.  It's currently 20 degrees.  Yesterday all the news channels were warning everyone about heavy snowfall, but it was pretty light.  The problem today is that the roads are all iced up...our driveway is too.  Not going anywhere.

It is easy to see that the moral part of love is a factitious feeling, born of social usage, and enhanced by the women with much care and cleverness, to establish their empire, and put in power the sex which ought to obey.

Quote
Men in a state of nature being confined merely to what is physical in love, and fortunate enough to be ignorant of those excellences, which whet the appetite while they increase the difficulty of gratifying it, must be subject to fewer and less violent fits of passion, and consequently fall into fewer and less violent disputes.

Things are looking good, except that I'd really love to bang her Korean co-teacher, and I'm not sure if that will fly given the current situation.

I've been rebuilding the bridges I torched November and December and they're pretty much close to rebuilt.  Went out drinking with them on Tuesday where I went all out.  Had a nasty hangover but it seems like things are nearly back to the way they were.

Fortunately work is slow so I've been able to clear the backlog of shit out at work.

I don't know how it is up there in Winnipeg but where I live, it is the second year in a row where it is ball-freezingly cold out.  I hoped it was an anomaly but I'm getting worried that it is going to be a regular thing: that we'll be having extremely frigid winters from here on out.

Last summer wasn't even that hot out.  I think we had one day where it was 95 deg F.  In previous years, we'd usually have a week stretch of over 100 degree fahrenheit temperatures.

They will understand as will I in due time.  A lot of it was due to outside factors (me getting mad), especially my car situation.  I took this job in an isolated area because it was a job (in a time when they were rapidly shriveling - late 2008) and because it offered the window for advancement.  It is almost a special side project for the company and I was brought in.  I did (and still do) a good job but the work force consists of people twice my age who have no real ambition other than do their eight hours and GTFO.  Which isn't bad but when some of them disappear for half of the day, it becomes a bigger issue than it needs to be.

It turns out I don't take a pay cut at all if I do my transfer.  I have a ways to go yet before hitting the ceiling, with this job and the job transfer prospect.  If the job falls through, regardless of how they are, we need to make it work so whatever.

I'm probably reading too much into the scenario, but wasn't it T EXP that got mad at everyone else? Being civil at work is mandatory, and being friendly (not friends per se) is part of that. Conversely if someone steps outside that social contract, if someone makes an issue personal, it is natural to take it personally -- but that's a reaction the defending person chooses.

It's hard to do sometimes, but when someone makes a personal attack on me, rather than jumping in to defend myself I find it is more helpful to ask them why they're reacting that way. More times than not, they'll backpedal or apologize. Personal attacks in the workplace say more about the attacker than the target.

But they weren't in my suitcase when I arrived home over break. I arrive at my apartment in Florida and they're not here either.  :'(

I think they have a tendency to see work as an extension of school. I'm just thinking out loud, so this is most likely 80% crap, but:

In school, everyone develops their little clique and young people practice making and maintaining social networks. In a school of hundreds or even thousands of people, and in a changing classroom (and later, dorms), it is not uncommon to deal with a rotating set of hundreds of people per day. It's natural to find a group of people with whom you get along, and nurture that.

In most work settings, you're dealing with a dozen people or less with regularity. The odds aren't nearly as good as any school scenario for finding someone you actually like. But people try to force it, nonetheless.

I don't know shit about websites but general coverage stuff is probably harder to do because of the larger sites like IGN that are a couple of dozen steps ahead of you.  You'd have to employ numerous people who know their shit to come up with a decent general interest website.

you mean if you're going to CC right now, right?

It depends on what you're applying for I guess but 99% chance that previous employment history is all they care about, if you're lucky then you'll find one that won't mind giving you a week or two off for finals but that's a sort of a pipe dream if you're applying to retail or food service where there's a lot of kids.

Maybe just give a super-weighted GPA or some bullshit if you want.

Does going to a community college look bad to employers?

You're like 17, you arent even old enough to worry about employers.

You go to CC to work on credits for the basics, then transfer to a university to complete your program (Not even sure CCs offer Bachelors programs). Lots of people go to CC / Uni, why would you be any different? But continue carrying this stigma.

This is what I did.  Get killer grades at CC, which is not hard at all, and you can get into the college of your choice (well, almost any...I don't think Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc. would go for it) , possibly with scholarships.  A nice CC to good university transfer is not a bad mark on a resume.  If you get an interview, it's very easy to spin it as a strength.

So do all the many other people in college. College is a stigma people use to make it seem like they are achieving something (obviously this isnt the case for everyone). Enjoy being "Undeclared" for the next few years, only to find out you hate what you're learning and want to do something else.

Dude.  For the first couple years, you're taking GE and lower division classes that don't shoehorn you into any major in particular.  Like for example all the different science majors will have most of the same classes for the first 1.5 years.

If you know what kind of degree or career would play to your general strengths, then you don't need a lot of commitment before enrolling as long as you know higher education is going to help you.

Just please don't choose something like performance art or whatever.

Green Man, go to a community college and worry about figuring out what you want to do there.  Most people go to a university because it is the thing to do, not because they have something they want to study.  For a lot of college students, the university is just a way to put off "the real world" for another four years.  You can then waffle about and look into several majors but if your parents aren't bankrolling your time there or you don't have a full ride scholarship, you're just adding more student loans when you could have saved all of that shit by going to a CC for a couple of years.  I have some big ass student loans, about 15% of that total is a result of me not knowing what the hell I wanted to do.  Which is fine because at 18 or 19, you still won't know but you don't have to borrow $10,000 to help make your decision.

Another thing is not to expect that you'll pull some baller salary out of school.  I had some friends who thought they would get $60,000 a year jobs out of the gate with their Accounting degrees.  They still are in and out of jobs or settled for a job with a more realistic salary.  University students are typically dumb and delusional who think they're special snowflakes.

The rate that you finish school won't change if you do a couple years at CC first.  The biggest advantage though is smaller class sizes that also cost about 10 times less.

So, I went yesterday to look at a condo in Flushing. I'm looking to move out by the end of the year and to own a place. Was pretty disappointed with it - it was small (~675 sqft), and didn't make effective use of space. Not to mention, the only affordable unit was on the first floor, and the den had a giant window that was directly up next to the street. It was in a nice area (across from the park and a few minutes drive from the main shopping district), and had all new appliances, and the complex contained nice amenities (massage room, gym, game room), but I dunno.. looks like I'm gonna have to continue looking.

The main reason I'm looking in Queens is because the taxes are much cheaper compared to Nassau (like, $2-3000 compared to $7-8000). Any good advice for condo hunting? I'm actually not even too sure what I can afford and will be meeting with my financial advisor soon.

I guess I'm just in a rush to get it over with so I can go out and start experiencing the world. Ive missed so many opportunities during my High School and Middle School years that I want to get out there and experience college life but don't want to waste time wandering around aimlessly.

I like to have things like this planned ahead.

the thing about the world is that it will always be there to experience after whatever it is that you're doing

but community college is fine, at the least you can use it to get an associates then move on to the four year of your choice, assuming you do well in CC

Hallowed is such fun to play but I can't seem to get a hang of most rhythm parts. Can you play them accurately compared to the album version?

Not quite perfectly, but I'm getting better at it. Assuming that your fretting hand is fast enough to play the notes with accuracy at full-speed, the main thing to think about would be your picking. You don't always want to alternate between up and downstrokes on every note, and some riffs sound better with nothing but downstrokes. I like to experiment with different picking patterns to find one that allows me to express the riff in the best-sounding way.

All this is true, however I was talking about the rhythm parts played during the verses and the solos. The strumming patterns for those power chords are hard to figure out, and I haven't found a correct tab for it yet. This is also typically Iron Maiden for ya. They have very different and hard to master strumming patterns. Sometimes I think I have some rhythm down, only to discover I was missing a chord or two inbetween the distuingished parts.

I JUST FOUND OUT SOME AWESOME SHIT BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE OBNOXIOUS ABOUT IT YET ON FACEBOOK, SO HERE:

My last final is on January 29, and on that night Shinichi Osawa and Ken Ishii are both playing. At fai, one of the coolest clubs in Tokyo. It's more of a lounge so it's not as much of a "holyfuckwhathefuckisgoingon" situation. It's also within walking distance (30 minutes or so) of my apartment, so I can stagger home at my will. Shinichi Osawa is my favorite DJ / electro producer EVAR right now, and Ken Ishii is super awesome. I'm pumped.

The night of January 30, Ken Ishii and some British dude are playing at Ageha, which is another one of my favorite clubs. And I have an invitation and mad free drink tickets. Victory.

Finals will be over and I will officially be on break for 2 months.

Sitting in "Information Literacy," a mandatory class they make us all take because "IT'S JAPAN! EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW HOW TO DO THIS SHIT!" Learning visual basic, which I will quickly discard in my mind and never use again after finals next week. This class is the biggest waste of time ever, smh. We learned Powerpoint and MS Word earlier in the semester. smh

All I want is for it to be tomorrow, and to drink copious amounts of dericious, dericious 50 yen beer.
Don't be too sure about that "I'll just dump this useless knowledge after the test" stuff. In college the "Bookmaking in the Digital Age" class I took required us to learn markup language. In 1989 I was thinking who the fuck will ever need a markup language? I'll just use Pagemaker or Quark for layout. Then, um, The Internet happened. For a short period of time, I was actually paid for hand coding markup language.

The thing about the visual basic lessons is that we're basically only modifying code he gives us in PowerPoint. "Take this chart, make every number greater than 7 green, etc." He's not actually teaching anything, so everyone just facebooks and bores, etc. I wouldn't complain if we were actually learning anything at all, but we're not so I will. All of the stuff we've covered so far I learned in middle school. He's "teaching" us this stuff, and we only have one week to go. I feel like I've wasted money on the credit, even though it's mandatory and I'll get a GPA-padding A.

So that thick girl de-friended me on facebook. At this point I should probably mention that I hooked up with her the other weekend (knowing that she had a crush on me, however, I was drunk and she was sober, so I don't think I was really taking advantage of her), but then didn't make any effort to keep in contact aside from replying to a facebook message she sent.

Am I the asshole here?

you're not interested in her, and now she's not interested in you.  Sounds like win-win.

I have no problem with conservative friends giving their opinions. But when they go from "ideological differences" to "batshit fucktard land" I respond. Case in point: last year a friend of mine posted one of those Obama-Kenya videos, with a "this is interesting" comment. I commented, posted some links, then eventually her brother stepped in and started going crazy. We went back and forth for a bit, then stopped.

I didn't de-friend her

You knew the girl liked you, used those feelings for your own gain, told it was only physical and ploughed her. Normally this would be okay in my moral compass but it sounds like the girl had low self esteem and thought by sleeping with you, you would gain feelings for her.

And now considering your reaction- the thing is you probably knew what you were doing all along.

I don't really block any Facebook friends for having certain political views.  Then again, I can't be bothered to log into Facebook more than once or twice a week, to accept some randoms as my friend and to receive updates on how people are doing on Farmville or MAFIA WARS.

I do have a couple of friends that have the NOBAMA shit but I just ignore it.  They know I'm a hardcore leftist and know better than to put their garbage on my Wall.  Same goes for my stuff on theirs.  Fortunately I can be friends with people for more reasons than political views.

I went to a dentist today for routine checkup and they found a mysterious passage under my gum on the inside that leads into my tooth which apparently is mostly hollow on the inside!  Dentist said it's extremely rare case and had to refer me to a specialist which I'm seeing next week.  The top is fine and there is no infection but it is not good to have a hole in your tooth so maybe root canal to save the tooth he says.

28 years and perfect teeth.  The record had to end someday :\ :\

Got a hair cut.  Took three days to prepare myself mentally to do it.   :'(

Ha, I got one today also. I felt kinda shitty though: there's this one barber at the place I go to who I always used to ignore. Dunno, he looked...less professional than the other barbers (baggy clothes), and is very quiet but mumbles like crazy. Well for my last 4 visits I've had him cut my hair, and he's very good; my hair has some ridiculous wave patterns and some barbers will fuck them up and just act like nothing happened, whereas this guy took his time and did a great job.

Well today I finally decided to ask him how much he charges. He said $18. I felt kinda shitty because I was giving him $17 during my previous visits. So I gave him $20 and he shook my hand and said thanks...but I still felt crappy.  :-\

He didn't say anything  :lol

I'd just be like "here you go, thanks" and bounce. And when I did pay the correct amount, it was exactly $18. I've been going there for more than three years, and most barbers there charge $16; I honestly thought that was his rate as well

The 30 year old girl's phone wasn't working last night, so I couldn't meet up with her downtown. Now she wants to meet for dinner at 6pm. I fucking hate going out at 6pm on a Saturday, because by the end of the night I'll have been out for like 10 or 11 hours.

Also, last night I patched things up with the thick girl. We're friends again. She told me she was bummed because I gave her the best sex she'd ever had, and she wanted more. But I told her that I wasn't looking for anything exclusive.

Later I went to karaoke with a big group of people. This one adorable ginger girl (they do exist) in the group was (I thought) really into me, getting me to take shots with her and whatnot. We were holding hands and such on our way to a different bar. But then when I tried to ask her out, she turned me down.

Life is kinda confusing sometimes.

There is a 2005 Ford Escape with 80,000 miles for six grand that I am interested in, but I don't know much about cars (I wouldn't even own a car if I didn't need one  :-\) so I was hoping to get some input from anyone knowledgeable. I got to see the car firsthand today and drove it. It was in great shape, but the engine was considerably louder than our Honda Accord.

The Euclidean nature of our imagination led Kant to say that although the denial of the axioms of Euclid could be conceived without contradiction, our intuition is limited by the form of space imposed by our own minds on the world. While it is not uncommon to find claims that the very existence of non-Euclidean geometry refutes Kant's theory, such a view fails to take into account the meaning of the term "synthetic," which is that a synthetic proposition can be denied without contradiction. Leonard Nelson realized that Kant's theory implies a prediction of non-Euclidean geometry, not a denial of it, and that the existence of non-Euclidean geometry vindicates Kant's claim that the axioms of geometry are synthetic [Leonard Nelson, "Philosophy and Axiomatics," Socratic Method and Critical Philosophy, Dover, 1965; p.164].

But the axioms of geometry were suppose to be synthetic a priori which means they necessarily must be true.  GRRRRRRRR!

Does he talk more about space in the transcendental logic section?

I only read some of practical reason and some of aesthetics.  The idea of reading pure reason just makes me lol. 

It's essentially the same book twice too, as in they put the first and second editions into the same book so like the intro to the first edition then the into to the second, the transcendental aesthetics from the first then transcendental aesthetics from the second.  It's going to take forever to read it all.   :'(

I will answer your question seriously though:

Its licking with varying speed and pressure, on the clit, around the clit, everywhere really. And not always just a 'licking' motion like you would lick an ice lolly, but moving your tongue side to side, up and down etc.

I can't imagine the alphabet thing working for me and it just sounds distinguished mentally-challenged really, especially if you're doing it with your tongue IN her pussy  :-\  So there is no conclusive way to lick pussy, every girl likes different things.

Post by: CajoleJuice on January 20, 2010, 07:37:10 PM
SMH, Maurice.

There are basically three variables to take into consideration: location, pressure and speed. This is complicated by the fact that, in my experience, a lot of girls like different things. I knew one girl who got way too sensitive directly in her clit, so you had to spend most of your time in the surrounding area. Another seemed to be much less sensitive than usual and wanted you to practically make your tongue into a jackhammer. However, there are generally some things that will work almost every time.

That alphabet thing is for your benefit, not hers. It's to give you a guideline for how to keep moving your tongue. You could do just about any pattern and it wouldn't matter, just as long as you're giving her the pressure and speed she wants in the right spot.

First of all, it helps if you've warmed up the oven with some good foreplay and then with your fingers. In my experience, the clit is usually too sensitive for you to just start there. I'm assuming you have the basics of foreplay down, so I won't go into that here. But once things are good and wet down there, generally you should start by softly moving your tongue over and across her clit and gradually build up speed and pressure, unless she's too sensitive for direct clitoral stimulation at the moment, in which case you just go in circles up the mountain like Dante in Purgatorio. Or she may not want this and may just want you to focus on one side. A lot of things can happen. In most cases, those who start out too sensitive for direct clitoral stimulation will want it by the end, but this is not always the case. One of the big keys is adaptability. What feels perfect to the girl when you start might not be what she wants ten minutes in, and you'll have to adjust your game plan, which means the key to that is receptiveness and communication.

You have to put in some groundwork for this. By the time you're going down on a girl, you want her to feel comfortable enough to tell you how she wants it. Not in a formal way, like giving directions, but you want her to at least be comfortable telling you the following: "higher," "lower," "harder," "a little softer," "faster," "oh, keep doing what you're doing," "a little to the right/left," and "oh, right there, RIGHT THERE!" That's basically the extent of the phrasebook. Some girls are more inhibited and don't like to give you any kind of directions at all, but generally if you're getting them close to orgasm they'll be a little more willing to help you help them get over the top.

You have to pay attention to her breathing and body-language. Generally a sharp intake of breath means you did something really good or really bad. Assuming you don't do something totally stupid, a sharp intake of breath usually = good. Increased rate of breathing = good. Legs and hips trembling or moving seemingly on their own = good. Keep doing what you're doing, maybe even adding slightly more pressure or speed.

Any changes you make should be incremental. It's like adjusting the bpm on a dance song when you're DJing. You can't just suddenly start going twice as fast or twice as hard. You need to work it up slowly. In the vast majority of cases, you'll be going a lot faster and harder by the end than you were at the beginning. Once you've found a level that works at the beginning, gradually dial it up, paying attention to her verbal and non-verbal cues.

Using your fingers can help a lot, as Raban said. Two of the biggest uses for them are 1) using your fingers to spread her lips more so that you can stimulate her clit more directly, and 2) fingering her while you're doing it. Generally you'll want to do both.

She may initially want a wide area and then want a more focused area later on. Be ready for that. If she's comfortable, she'll tell you. If you're working a wide area and then she says "Right there!" then obviously focus on that spot.

Good luck, Maurice.

Your neck might get a little sore, but unless you're going at it for a REALLY long time you should be alright. Just position your head in such a way that your tongue has the best access to the area between her legs. Usually she's lying on her back and you're lying on your stomach. She might also be on the edge of the bed, with you on the floor on your knees. You can adjust your position slightly if you have to. In my experience, your tongue will get tired before your neck does.

Forgot to mention, a lot of times in foreplay you'll be licking her nipples, so you can transition easily from that. Just start licking and planting kisses downwards. This move has always been a big hit when I've used it. Builds lots of anticipation, and it removes all of the awkwardness.

Do you start licking the nipples when she's standing or when she's on the bed? Seems kinda awkward to me; ie what if she's just standing there while you're licking the nipples, who should make the first move to the bed

Fair enough GS. Alright, we're on the bed and I'm tired of oral. What do you usually do at that point? Just get on top, or ask if she wants to be on top?

edit: well I'd put my condom on of course, but what after that

You're seriously not trolling? Have you never been in a situation of human intimacy? The assumption is that if you're working on her nipples, you've already been necking a fair bit, I hope on a bed or a cushion of some sort. It should all be a fairly organic process...

I just want to know how organic the process is. Like if someone asks me "how are you doing" I'll respond "fine how about yourself," as would most people. Are we talking that level of organic?

:lol

A lot of times she'll pull you on top of her after enough oral. Otherwise you should keep going until she orgasms. At that point, you would usually give her a few seconds to catch her breath (during which time you can kinda talk to her in a James Bond way), then get on top. Don't just stick it in right away. Work the head of your johnson around the lips a little bit. Maybe tease her clit with it. You can tease her by sticking it in slowly, a little bit at a time, maybe even using a slight circular motion. There are a lot of things you can do. A lot of sex is improvisation, to be honest.

Sounds like jazz. I can dig it  :pimp

Now, if you aren't confident in your ability to last, would it be better to save oral for after you cum? That way it's not a total waste for her

first impressions are important

Another plus after getting a girl off orally is that she will then do whatever you want.

Been trying to figure out why since generally I'm doing well.  It's not girl related because I don't care about women right now.  I think it probably started from getting owned by a professor today in an argument.  If I can't even win arguments on the internet how the hell am I going to win arguments against a professor from Harvard.  I feel like I'm not good at winning arguments and I reach a hell of a lot and go on a tangent that has nothing to do with the argument and it just makes me look like an idiot.  Sometimes I feel like I'm a joke character on the internet and I'm worried I'm a joke character irl too  :'(

Also I was wondering why men don't cry in western games, they just shout nooooooooo.  Whereas in Japanese games dudes cry all the time.  MANLY TEARS

Anyway, just give a couple guys in the class a few bucks to say "Professor __________ annihilated" after every point you make. He'll have to concede or risk getting laughed out of the classroom.

Most law professors at law schools anywhere decent are from top10 schools like Harvard since there aren't many positions and they pay very well.

Give me a mother fucking break.

That's fucking pathetic. I know at least 10 chicks that bag groceries for a living that are hotter than Natalie Portman.
I can believe that. When I lived in California, about half the register clerks at Whole Foods looked like they posed for Suicide Girls on the weekends.

what's considered too much masturbation, like 3-4 times in a week?
you have got to be joking
well I'm serious, it's a waste of energy if your balls aren't even filled up.

I got the job transfer two days ago.

I negotiated more money than they were offering ($3000 a year more), a $5000 relocation package (money is tight and they originally offered $2000 or nothing), and 8% guaranteed overtime.  Plus I still use my personal vehicle so there is another $10,000 a year or so in profit from driving around all of the time for work.

The benefit is that the 60 hour work weeks are done and replaced with 40 a week.  I am going to start my second degree this fall (the company will pay as long as I get a 3.0 or higher).

I start at this new position at March 1st.

I have no problem getting inebriated, I just don't like alcohol so I stick with weed.  On masturbation, I don't consider it like a daily habit and I don't really understand why somebody would want to do it that often if they're not going through puberty.

I actually did have a pretty decent girl offer to get me a coffee for watching her stuff in the lab today.  I kind of laughed when she said it and looked away, which fucked up any chance of furthering the conversation.  She also has a boyfriend though.  Every girl in all my classes either talk about their boyfriends or about how they are getting married.  It makes me very unhopeful.

Countdown to fernie t-minus 1 sleep...
Quote from: Arvie
sleeps are my favorite unit of time.
Quote from: dude
they are the most functional of times.
Quote from: Arvie
Most functional indeed. Take it's application in physics. The Sound Sleep Theorem states that the velocity of an object when calculated in distance/sleeps will always equal 0. This of course breaks when dealing with velocities of sleepwalkers.

It just got unbelievably nerdy in here.

I'm sitting in one of my Lit classes and there's this girl sitting next to me with dyed red hair and frock coat and scarf and all sorts of semi-homeless-chic attire. I'm jotting down notes like mad, because I had to get the e-book form of the text and can't make notes on the book pages. Meanwhile, she's writing something down next to me on legal notepad. I realize I it doesn't quite look like notes, and she's got her ipod blaring in her ears, so I figure she won't notice me peeking over.

On the notepad she had written down a venn diagram of Job Internship and House Party. Under Internship, she had "business casual attire" and some other random things I couldn't read. Under House Party she had "American Apparel" and "free pot" and "Cocaine". I suddenly got curious as to what was in the middle of the venn diagram, but she kept covering her scribblings with her hand. Maybe she was aware of my snooping. None the less, she keeps listing down things in her venn diagram and I can't tell if this is some strange assignment or her weekend plans.

Also of note, soon into the lecture she starts shaking her pen madly while writing down her list. About halfway into the lecture she stops with the venn diagram and her knee starts shaking like crazy and her foot is going tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap! I'm starting get a bit worried.

Then she starts a new page, and I think she might actually start writing notes. There's some actual text in the upper left corner. I ignore cocaine girl for awhile, but look back over because I'm a bit tired of my own note writing. What I see is that she's filled half the page with random curvy foilage patterns. Halfway down the foilage stops and she's drawn a zig-zagging wall across the page. Underneath this she's drawn what can only be described as the detached tails of the chesire cat. I'm just confused now and various parts of her body are still shaking. I sneak back to my notes.

But then of course, I look over again and she's started drawing the detached tails into letters. The cat-tails read "THE MAN OF THE CROW". I'm like wtf. At this point I am just a little frightened of her and wondering if I should scoot over a seat.

Anyways, class ends, I get the fuck out and think I'm free. Only that the bus I choose to get onto has her on it. And on the second stop everyone gets off except for her and I, and she's sitting right across from me. So I moved seats.

I got the job transfer two days ago.

I negotiated more money than they were offering ($3000 a year more), a $5000 relocation package (money is tight and they originally offered $2000 or nothing), and 8% guaranteed overtime.  Plus I still use my personal vehicle so there is another $10,000 a year or so in profit from driving around all of the time for work.

The benefit is that the 60 hour work weeks are done and replaced with 40 a week.  I am going to start my second degree this fall (the company will pay as long as I get a 3.0 or higher).

I start at this new position at March 1st.

congrats!

Yes. I am better than someone who does drugs. I don't have to do heroin to know I'm better than an addict.

just because you do heroin doesnt mean youre automatically an addict

step up and out of that toolbox for awhile and stretch your legs, i hear it feels good man

Heroin is pretty much the most addictive drug across the board (in regards to mainstream drugs). Its quantifiable withdrawl and tolerance levels are so high that addiction can develop quickly. It is not a recreational drug, regardless of what Glen Shinobi might say. Telling someone to "try it" is pretty stupid.

But the discussion was about marijuana, which is an entirely different discussion altogether.

id give that title to meth and crack, because you feel like such shit when you come down, and its so easy to re dose and feel fine again, which is why people binge on the stuff, with heroin the hard part comes with kicking it when youve developed a physical addiction, if i ever try heroin id snort it, shooting it is fucking nuts

fentanyl doesnt work on me, i know its weird, but ive had 2 minor surgeries at the end of last year and each time they gave me it, and each time they were looking at me shocked that i wasnt out and was coherent, and both imes they maxed out on the dose of 6 shots, if they gave me any more itd be lethal i guess, but i felt fine

Meth is pretty bad, but cocaine only edges out heroin in terms of reinforcement levels within the Henningfield Ratings - overall, heroin still takes the cake. Most of his peers also rank heroin as the most addictive substance.

In terms of a direct comparison to meth, the physical withdrawal symptoms of heroin far outweigh anything that someone quitting meth has to deal with.

I just don't like the drug culture in general.  I used to smoke pot daily for months but never really understood the bullshit that comes from the drug culture.  It's like when porn stars like to talk about how deep porn flicks are when really it is just slipshod acting between DP sessions.

It depends on what the person gets out of it.

For most people, smoking pot is just a fun way to relax. But if some people get something more out of it; if, for example, someone gains new insights into a movie or piece of music while high that he/she hadn't gotten before, then it's not really anyone's place to bash that person for it.

I doubt I'd be a fan of some of the musicians that I'm a fan of now (I know, I know, lolz, Muse, right? But I actually like a pretty wide range of artists across many genres) if I hadn't listened to them while smoking pot. When I first started smoking, it really helped me cue into subtle things in the music that I would normally overlook. Now, I tend to hear those things whether I'm sober or not, but back when I was 18 or 19 it helped a lot. I don't feel like it's anyone's place to attack someone for expressing a view like that.

The last hour or so of last night is a total blur for me; I was taking way too many shots. It doesn't feel like I got hit or anything, so I have no idea what this girl is talking about. I know that I've thought about trying to hit on her before. I feel like I shouldn't tell her that I can't remember what she's talking about, but she might bring it up if we hang out.  :-\

Quote
(this guy) was giving you the death stare. eyebrows moving, teeth grinding, murderous looks. the girls and i thought it was hilarious until he just couldnt take it anymore. he got up, pushed you out of the way, and came to talk to me. i assured him that everything was fine. he sat back down. we started talking again and he came back. i assume he shoved you again. and then you took off.

Turns out the guy is like my size too. WTF? Normally if a guy my size or smaller shoved me in a bar, he'd be flying over the bar counter shortly thereafter. I must have been in a super-passive mood or something.

If the dude tries it again this weekend, he's losing teeth.

One of my teachers had a required online assignment that wouldn't work on Windows 7.  There were at least 20 class-wide emails of people having problems.  The teacher finally jumps in and just says "contact computer services lol"  I had to take out my old XP computer to finally make it work, and from what I can tell, only about a 1/10th of the class managed to do the assignment.  I hate this class already.

I am skipping class because of the blizzard conditions. It's almost a legitimate excuse.

The buses have shut down in most of the city and I'm still going, you dweeb. 


The student going to class--even though he doesn't have to and has a legitimate excuse not to--is the dweeb.

I'm going vegetarian as of today.  I would go vegan but I think I would die of malnutrion.  Need my egg/milk/mozzarella :D

No reason really, just got tired of meat so I'm going to try living without any for a while.  Will make hamburgers that much better when I go back to them  :hyper

Thats not really going vegetarian friend.

Here in the Americas we make a distinction between vegetarian (doesn't eat meat flesh) and Vegan (doesn't eat anything that comes from an animal).  Maybe it's different in Europe?

Kosma, I dunno. Maybe 3 months, 6 months, a year?  Will just see how it goes.

Yeah, like I said from the start I'm not doing it for any purpose.  I'm not like protesting the death of animals as a source of nutrition.  Meat is good times.  I just want to try a different diet and see how it goes.  The best I ever felt physically in my life was when I did a vegetables & fish only diet for 3 months.  Felt really amazing on a consistent basis.

what's considered too much masturbation, like 3-4 times in a week?
you have got to be joking
well I'm serious, it's a waste of energy if your balls aren't even filled up.
Aren't you the guy that doesn't drink, too? What are you, a complete teetotaler or just a walking non-party, waiting to not-happen?
I have no problem getting inebriated, I just don't like alcohol so I stick with weed.  On masturbation, I don't consider it like a daily habit and I don't really understand why somebody would want to do it that often if they're not going through puberty.
Just as long as you don't claim boys wank only due to peer pressure, we're good here.

I just noticed how rape and date have the same vowels.
So do "sane," "tame," and -most importantly- "lame."

That is absolutely possible if you're talking about a gay couple where one of them doesn't feel like having sex.  Actually even then, mutual masturbation is pretty nasty.

Here's a little tale about my neighbor.

I don't really know the people who live across the street from my house, even though they've been there for almost as long as we have (at least 17 years).  I haven't even seen the father of that household in like a decade.  The guy is older and started a family up after he retired, and now he's really getting up his years.  Before there'd be an ambulance at their house every now and then, but that seems to have quieted down over the last year or so and everyone assumed the guy got healthier.  Nobody really knows since he's become a recluse and never goes outside.

A couple of days ago, we found out that this guy's family had just up and left one evening, leaving him there.  Nobody had any idea.  He called my father asking for some help with the oxygen tank he's hooked up to, which is the only reason why anyone knows anything now.  My father said that the inside of the house looked like it had been ransacked and that the guy was sitting on a couch covered with crap and there was feces and piss on the floor. The neighbor claimed that his back was so bad that he couldn't even get up to go to the bathroom and gave this sob story about his family abandoning him.

My parents then managed to track down his wife and get her side of the story.  Turns out that this family didn't run away from home; they left out of fear-- the guy had threatened to beat the shit out of them if they stayed, and even the hospital where he previously stayed at warned his family to leave him alone.  This guy is all kinds of fucked up due to various mental illnesses.  He is psychotic and has been kicked out of multiple hospitals, banned by the staff from even entering because of constant mental and physical abuse.  Even though he is hooked up to an oxygen tank and claims to have a bad back, he apparently can get around just fine and was abusing his family members, screaming at them and occasionally striking them.  The guy basically cannot stand to not have attention and wants literally everything done for him.  His family has been putting up with this for years, but they've reached a breaking point.  The doctors and nurses couldn't take dealing with him for very long at all.  They are now looking into having him committed at a specialized hospital that will give him the medical care he needs -whether he wants it or not- and keep him from doing harm to anyone else.  

Right now though, he is sitting at home.  It's five in the morning, and all the lights in his house have been on all night.  All the doors to his home are unlocked.  He seems to be getting food and medicine from some taxi service and also from one of his kids who stops by at night to drop off stuff for him, then bolts.  The neighbor has been calling most of the neighborhood with his sob story, trying to get people to go out and bring him food and medicine, even though he is perfectly capable of doing everything himself (according to his wife).  It's so fucked up.

So apparently credit card companies are allowed to charge you an overlimit fee if the interest charge puts you over the limit.

Interest has put me overlimit on at least one or two other occasions, and I was never charged for it. Somehow I thought that this couldn't happen. I suppose it makes sense that this could happen, but I guess I had always subconsciously filed this under the list of things that are way too stupid to actually be legal. But sure enough, it is legal until that Credit Card Users Bill of Rights comes into effect, and Chase is definitely trying to bleed out as much extra income as they can before that happens.

I spent a good 15 minutes on the phone trying to get the fee waived, all to no avail. Apparently there's nothing anyone can do. I'm usually quite good on the phone too. This is the first time I've been completely unable to get any kind of concession in a case like this. After it became clear that the call was going nowhere, I tore into the bitch for a good two minutes. I could definitely tell I had struck a nerve by the end. But even if I made the fucking cunt cry, it doesn't get that $39 back. Fuck, I'd shoot out both her kneecaps for $39.

Fuck companies that make money by declaring war on their own customer base. I'm paying that piece of shit off in full next month.

I'm so pissed. I got roped into going to a wedding for an acquaintance of mine (a decent enough chap, even though he's die-hard conservative, and we have barely anything in common)... the weekend of Winter Music Conference. Not only will I be missing Ultra Music Festival (which has some dubstep artists this year, and dubstep hardly ever comes to America, I'm not into the music that much but want to experience it live for once), but also my favorite DJ at the moment, Add2Basket, is playing a rooftop party on that Sunday.

So not only do I hate most weddings (and I know this wedding is gonna be as bland and milquetoast as they come... I would almost rather a geek-style themed wedding), but I get to miss a lot of good partying.

This is in the US right? I pictured this story in Japan, while reading but only realized you moved back. Now its way less charming somehow.

Yeah, the U.S. 

In Japan, my experience with fucked up neighbors came from these people who lived in the apartment building right next to mine.  Every now and then, I'd hear what sounded like a samurai movie, with a scream and then the pitter patter of running feet on a wooden hallway/tatami mat, so it sounded like "GYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!  *TMP TMP TMP TMP TMP TMP TMP TMP TMP TMP TMP TMP TMP* GGGGGYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"  Then some slapping noises.  It was this older couple beating the crap out of each other.  I found that I was able to get them to shut up if I just opened up the back door loudly enough that they knew or could see that I was there.  Then they wouldn't do anything (that could be heard, at least) for several months.  One time I opened up a window and just started applauding them after a few more yells.  Never heard anything again, and shortly after that they moved away. 

Directly across the way on an adjacent side was a family who would have company over at 2am on a school night.  I say this because their (little) kids were up too.  They weren't noisy very often, but the rice paper window covers do shit to keep out bright light, so I'd be sleeping and then suddenly it was like dawn came early.  I had to go out and buy some blinds to install to stop the light from coming in.  It was pretty tricky getting them to go over what was already there and I really fucked up the wood above the windows.  Luckily nobody said anything when I moved out.

you have got to be joking
well I'm serious, it's a waste of energy if your balls aren't even filled up.
Aren't you the guy that doesn't drink, too? What are you, a complete teetotaler or just a walking non-party, waiting to not-happen?
I have no problem getting inebriated, I just don't like alcohol so I stick with weed.  On masturbation, I don't consider it like a daily habit and I don't really understand why somebody would want to do it that often if they're not going through puberty.
Just as long as you don't claim boys wank only due to peer pressure, we're good here.
I just noticed how rape and date have the same vowels.
So do "sane," "tame," and -most importantly- "lame."
That is absolutely possible if you're talking about a gay couple where one of them doesn't feel like having sex.  Actually even then, mutual masturbation is pretty nasty.
Speaking from experience?

So apparently credit card companies are allowed to charge you an overlimit fee if the interest charge puts you over the limit.

Interest has put me overlimit on at least one or two other occasions, and I was never charged for it. Somehow I thought that this couldn't happen. I suppose it makes sense that this could happen, but I guess I had always subconsciously filed this under the list of things that are way too stupid to actually be legal. But sure enough, it is legal until that Credit Card Users Bill of Rights comes into effect, and Chase is definitely trying to bleed out as much extra income as they can before that happens.

I spent a good 15 minutes on the phone trying to get the fee waived, all to no avail. Apparently there's nothing anyone can do. I'm usually quite good on the phone too. This is the first time I've been completely unable to get any kind of concession in a case like this. After it became clear that the call was going nowhere, I tore into the bitch for a good two minutes. I could definitely tell I had struck a nerve by the end. But even if I made the fucking cunt cry, it doesn't get that $39 back. Fuck, I'd shoot out both her kneecaps for $39.

Fuck companies that make money by declaring war on their own customer base. I'm paying that piece of shit off in full next month.

If you're going to say something like "you should have known better, why don't you manage your finances better, blah blah" then fuck off. Seriously, fuck off.
[close]
Chase is on my good list right now.  Saturday I deposited 350 dollars into an ATM and it never showed up in my account.  I went to the bank and was given a number and they said there would be an investigation and blah blah.  I was thinking fuck, it's going to take forever to get my money.  I called the number, talked to some guy named Sean.  Gave him the ATM number, sequence number and time and date.  He said the money would be in my account this morning.  Checked last night after midnight and sure enough I had money. 

:bow Chase :bow2

Despite the content, this is an awesome painting. Where is it from?

From your mirror.

You try so hard, man.

Saying 'you try too hard' as a rebuttal is a synonym to saying "I just got floored the fuck out but let me just pretend that your comment didn't even slightly bother me".

I can't win either way, bro. If I start firing back at you, it's going to seem like you've 'won' by getting me to fight a flame war with you. If I shrug it off, I'm hiding my shame. How about this?

Powerslave, kindly fuck off.



Whatever. He's ignored.

Her friend then totally cock-blocked my incapacitated ass, and I threw up on my friend about ten minutes later. Good night.

Feeling sick as hell today. It started two days ago. I think one of my students gave me something. I feel feverish, but I don't have much of a temperature. It's weird. I went out last night for a friend's going away party, which didn't help things at all. If I feel this bad tomorrow, I might actually take a sick day for the first time in Korea.

I would settle for any format except the one that doesn't work in WMP or VLC. So I have to manually convert the file, which adds another hour or so onto the time before I can watch the damn thing.

I hate my philosophy of mind class so much.  We've spent 4 weeks talking about only the first 30 fucking pages for Searle's little intro book.  I'm at page 130.  The Prof keeps giving his opinion on everything little thing that he disagrees with searle on --which would be fine except he can read one sentence, disagree with it, then read the next sentence which said either something exactly the same as the first or was implied by the first, and then make the same exact argument against it.  I've heard some of his arguments 7 or 8 times already.

Also before leaving the library, I had to take a quick stop in the restroom. While I was washing my hands two disabled people rolled into the restroom. I can't remember the last time I saw a disabled person in there, so seeing two was mindblowing. They were talking to each other and joking on who should get to use the biggest disabled stall (there's a big stall and a smaller stall for the disabled).

Here's a little tale about my neighbor.

I don't really know the people who live across the street from my house, even though they've been there for almost as long as we have (at least 17 years).  I haven't even seen the father of that household in like a decade.  The guy is older and started a family up after he retired, and now he's really getting up his years.  Before there'd be an ambulance at their house every now and then, but that seems to have quieted down over the last year or so and everyone assumed the guy got healthier.  Nobody really knows since he's become a recluse and never goes outside.

A couple of days ago, we found out that this guy's family had just up and left one evening, leaving him there.  Nobody had any idea.  He called my father asking for some help with the oxygen tank he's hooked up to, which is the only reason why anyone knows anything now.  My father said that the inside of the house looked like it had been ransacked and that the guy was sitting on a couch covered with crap and there was feces and piss on the floor. The neighbor claimed that his back was so bad that he couldn't even get up to go to the bathroom and gave this sob story about his family abandoning him.

My parents then managed to track down his wife and get her side of the story.  Turns out that this family didn't run away from home; they left out of fear-- the guy had threatened to beat the shit out of them if they stayed, and even the hospital where he previously stayed at warned his family to leave him alone.  This guy is all kinds of fucked up due to various mental illnesses.  He is psychotic and has been kicked out of multiple hospitals, banned by the staff from even entering because of constant mental and physical abuse.  Even though he is hooked up to an oxygen tank and claims to have a bad back, he apparently can get around just fine and was abusing his family members, screaming at them and occasionally striking them.  The guy basically cannot stand to not have attention and wants literally everything done for him.  His family has been putting up with this for years, but they've reached a breaking point.  The doctors and nurses couldn't take dealing with him for very long at all.  They are now looking into having him committed at a specialized hospital that will give him the medical care he needs -whether he wants it or not- and keep him from doing harm to anyone else.  

Right now though, he is sitting at home.  It's five in the morning, and all the lights in his house have been on all night.  All the doors to his home are unlocked.  He seems to be getting food and medicine from some taxi service and also from one of his kids who stops by at night to drop off stuff for him, then bolts.  The neighbor has been calling most of the neighborhood with his sob story, trying to get people to go out and bring him food and medicine, even though he is perfectly capable of doing everything himself (according to his wife).  It's so fucked up.

Small follow-up to this story. 

It's been pretty quiet across the street (the lights are still on 24/7 though).  We haven't heard anything from the neighbors, although I did find out how it looks inside in more detail-- like a gang partied hard and just fucked up the place, and then took shits and pissed every few feet on the first floor.

Anyway, tonight as I was taking down the trash, I noticed that one of the kids was sitting by himself at the end of his driveway, eating dinner off a plate and reading a book, like this was completely normal.  He didn't look up once.  It was pretty cold outside, too.  He just kind of sat there all emo and not making a sound.  I know he can drive, so I don't get why he didn't just up and go somewhere else; he certainly wasn't stuck at his senile-psycho father's place.

I'll never understand how someone can leave the house smelling like shit. The only time I've gone out in questionable fashion was when I ran out of deodorant a couple years ago. I decided to put some scented lotion under my armpits - not a lot. It smelled good on and seemed like a good idea at the time.

Then I stepped outside and realized it was 85 degrees. Luckily I only had one class, but 20min in I was smelling bad  :-\

I don't get where the Polish blonde stereotype has come from, because I know a lot of Polish girls, met many too and they're always dark haired. One thing I have noticed is that a lot of them are bottle blondes with really obvious roots.

Yeah I know, fml.

I mean, Scratch is easy as fuck, I can just see how moving to a real programming language is going to be so ridiculously fucking tedious. It already took ages for me to try and test every single script that went into the game, of which there were only like 6 or 7. I can't imagine making a game where the player character has like 1,000 frames of animation, interacting with hundreds of in-world items, responding to limits within a 3D world or even a 2D world.

Game development is definitely an interest, but I don't really want to be part of a big development company. I'd rather make games with a smaller group. But making applications is just as interesting to me, so it isn't like I'll be bored.

I don't get where the Polish blonde stereotype has come from, because I know a lot of Polish girls, met many too and they're always dark haired. One thing I have noticed is that a lot of them are bottle blondes with really obvious roots.

Cork is a beautiful city! You should definitely go there. Really nice in the summer.

I've met a few Polish girls with dark hair, but a lot of the ones I've met tend to have either dirty blonde or light blonde hair.

The vision in my left eye is getting pretty bad. It all started about a year ago. I was in a bar, and I had a cigarette, but no lighter. So I asked a female friend of mine for a light. She proceeded to light me up, but had forgotten that she had set up her lighter to shoot out a massive flame like one of those ridiculous crack torches. The burst of flame hit me directly in the left eye. I noticed that my vision was blurrier the next day. Now it's gotten a lot worse. If I close my right eye and try to read the computer screen from a distance of about two feet away, I can barely read the words. It looks like ink that someone smudged pretty badly.

Thinking of getting some laser surgery done while I'm over in Korea since it's a lot cheaper here. I used to have 20/20 vision. This sucks.

There was a class I took where I'd show up once every two to three weeks since the graded work was all done online.  It wasn't uncommon for me to have nightmares about going into class and finding out that it was a test day or that some big unannounced project was due.  When I did show up, I'd slink off to the back corner.  In one instance, the professor stared at me minutes before class started.  I pretended to be all nonchalant and was trying to act like she wasn't eyefucking me.  It was uncomfortable.  Left there with a B+ though.

In my later years, when the student loan debt was piling up, I went to every class because each lecture was about $20 a pop and felt that I should take advantage of it.  Most lectures are useless.

That class wasn't worth the stress I made for myself by always skipping it and probably could have aced it.  I was better off just sitting in the back corner and reading the NY Times like I did with other useless lectures that had some kind of mandatory attendance policy.

Here's how a typical class goes: Prof starts with a recap of the last class, moves on to a new case, grills students on the facts of the case, then grills on the issues and the law.


zzzzzz

Only interesting part is the discussion about policy, but I'd never participate in an actual discussion anyway.

Definitely NOT gonna join the Army on the 17th, for two reasons.

I will not be able to pass a drug test for quite a while because I have smoked medical-grade grass pretty much every day for months.

There is a job possibility I have an inside shot at that pays $18/hour starting out. Involves a drug test too, but when the potential gains are like this, Do Or Do Not There Is No Try.

Plus, my restlessness may do me in before that point.

I gave blood earlier today at the Red Cross. Went pretty damn fast, probably because I scheduled the last slot. After I was done I was escorted to the kitchen area to eat/drink/sit down, so I got some pretzels and juice. My dad called and asked me to ask a nurse whether someone taking aspirin and cholesterol medication could give blood; so I said sure and hung up. Couple minutes later I saw a nurse across the room so I raised my hand. She looked at me, then looked behind me and started running. I turned slightly to my left and noticed the lady who was sitting next to me had passed out. A few nurses picked her up and took her to a back room.

Couple minutes later the nurse I waved to came up to me and said "thanks for alerting us, she's doing fine."  :lol

You broke up, or she? Either way if there were good reasons you'll feel better single then being in a relationship thats not working.

I broke up, and it wasn't working but I'm not sure if this was the right decision. No turning back now, I suppose. Everyone has gone home for break so it's pretty much me + three other people, 2 of which are going to Hong Kong on Wednesday. Basically I'm just going to be sitting around doing nothing until the 18th. Fuck.

I started working on the Freebird solo. Learned probably the first minute of it, although there are some passages that I can't do at full-speed yet. I don't think the whole solo is like this, but the first part uses nothing but the G pentatonic scale with an occasional blues note at the 15th fret. It's pretty amazing how Allen Collins was able to get so much use out of a single scale pattern. My solos always end up sounding boring after 30 seconds or so. I think the best way to improve that is to start stealing phrases wholesale from better guitarists.

I bought a book to help me study for CompTIA A+ certification. Here's to hoping that I can get a few certs and land a shitty entry-level job by the end of the year.

Are there any Bore members that work in IT who could provide some tips and insight?

Do you have to speak Japanese to get poon in Tokyo, or do a lot of the girls speak English?

You don't have to speak Japanese to get poon in Tokyo. At all. I speak horrible Japanese (it's getting better, I think), but the girls usually want to "practice their English" with you, which is fine.

I might as well tell this story since it's kinda humorous.

The lady receptionist at the lab clinic just embarrassed the living hell out of me.  I was turning in a "stool" sample and she noticed that it wasn't in a plastic cup, but rather inside an envelope.  So she asks, clearly confused and partially disgusted, "is your stool in the envelope?"  And I say, "actually it's not stool per se... it should say on the form".  She says, "it only says 'stool'...  (it doesn't only say 'stool' on the form, by the way, but I understand her confusion) ...so what is it?"  I'm standing at the receptionist desk in the lobby while we're having this discussion, with about 25 other people in the same room sitting and waiting, and I'm making, as I would see it, obvious gestures and indications that I don't want to talk about this in public.  "It's not stool, but it came from... on the form, it says...".  She stares at me expressionlessly.  Another receptionist walks behind her and observes with the same blank countenance.  "Uhm?"  Annoyed, I give up and practically yell out, "IT'S A PARASITE THAT I FOUND IN MY FECES".  I put my hand over my face.  She continues her stare and apathetically rattles off the usual script, "please walk through the door at the back of the room and places your sample in the tray that says 'specimens'.  Have a nice day!"  I couldn't look at anyone on the way out.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
It's probably not actually a parasite and rather some sort of stringy fiber (it wasn't moving) and I'm being typically paranoid, but I've been having indigestion for the past week and seeing a worm-like thing in my poopy was too coincidental to simply ignore.  :-\

The test changes every so often, but its basically 2 parts, a question and answer type part, and a part where you take what you know to resolve issues. (this was all on the test pc lab style when I took it)

Once you pass, you renew (take a test that covers changes) every 3 years.

I also recommend the Network+ for an entry level job.

Well, since I'm driving all the time now, glasses were pretty much mandatory in case of an emergency. And I'm down to just a box of contacts. So I went to inquire about refilling my contacts - which are expensive as is - and was told my prescription for contacts had expired.

Without insurance, the cost for the eye exam, new contacts and glasses would be pretty steep. Since my prescription for glasses was good, I opted to just buy frames and a pair of lenses instead, and then I'll just do the eye exam later when I have more cash come in. It might mean I have to live without contacts for a month or two, but oh well.

I have not had worn glasses for over thirteen years. My vision deteriorated when I hit puberty, so my mother bought me the ugliest pair of spectacles money could buy (they were hugely expensive). After two days of mockery from peers, I conveniently lost them - never to be found again. My punishment for losing such a costly pair of glasses was that I would not get another pair, which was fine by me.

I spent a good while trying to rehabilitate my image after that spectacle, and save for maybe two people, nobody knows me now that has ever seen me wear eyeglasses. Truly the end of an era.

The whole prescription thing is such a bullshit scam.

I'll probably be in the same situation in a few months. I used to be covered by my parents' insurance so all I had to pay for was a portion of the contacts, but now I'm kinda screwed. Sucks, cuz I cannot pull off the geek chic look at all, and even worse is that I'll probably be stuck with the last pair of glasses that I wore -- which are from when I was 14 :lol

The frames plus the lenses put me back $170. It'd probably be double that for the exam plus a new order of contacts. It is pretty crazy. I don't understand why contact prescriptions are good for only a year, but eyeglasses are good for two?

i'll be honest, I originally took the test back at the end of my classes that covered it. Since then I've just, until recently, just kept doing the continuation. Now, I'm in the same boat, I have to do both tests all over again.  My courses were quarterly, so i spent 2/3 months doing it. But if u are already familiar with alot of the concept material, say a month to make sure you remember the long way of doing things?

The DA (one of the blonde ones). He stands up, yelling "Turn it off!" and she looks down and says some quip about his boner. The screen then flips to the jurors who look uncomfortable. The rapist then sits down real quick and tries to cover it with his suit.

Best 2 AM worm story I have - and Disposable White Guy will back me up on this - was when I got hammered at my mother's wedding reception afterparty (yes, there was an afterparty). We have a family realtor that is the very definition of a MILF, and sent us personalized magnets and calendars every year (par for the course for that profession).

After about a twenty or so pints of Yuengling, several Irish car bombs and whatever the hell Disposable White Guy ordered after that, I drunkenly went up to said realtor and told her, "You're the hottest magnet on our fridge!"

It's a catchphrase my family uses to mock me to this day.

Bombed my linear algebra midterm big time.  It sucks because I got a 100% on the practice exam, and then he didn't put any of those types of questions on the real test.  I couldn't even start a question worth 20%.  :(

I hate those kinds of exams.

I was reading a GAF thread recently, and I got indescribably angry at a few of the posters in that thread. What happened was there was a discussion about some kind of contract that people believed was unjust. There was the usual counterargument of "It's a contract, you're free to enter into it or not, how can it be unjust?" And someone replied with "In the military you enter a contract that states that if you reveal yourself as gay, they can kick you out. Does the fact that you agree to it make it right?" At which point some idiot replied with "Lolz at you, comparing ________ to being gay in the military."

I found myself with a very strong desire to backhand the guy who made that last comment. Posting anything along the line of "omg, you're comparing x to y, wtf" is one of the most intellectually lazy things a person can do in a debate. By doing so, you're refusing to see that the other person is not, in fact, comparing all aspects of something with all aspects of something else. Rather, that person is comparing one aspect of something to one aspect of something else and using that to make a point. In this case, whatever the unjust contract was (I honestly can't remember) was not as major an issue as the rights of gay people in the military. However, the GAF poster was using Don't Ask Don't Tell to show how a voluntary contract can still be unjust, and it just baffled me that people are unable to understand something so simple.

Next Saturday, I'm playing music live for the first time in about ten months (not counting an acoustic open mic night I did a month ago for shits and giggles). I've got a very specific plan, but it involves me going from being just okay at playing blues solos to being pretty good at playing blues solos over the next nine days. Luckily I've got a five day weekend starting tomorrow, so I can just stay home and play for 10 hours a day.

Just practice shifting between chords over and over. Start with some songs that have nice open chord progressions. Something like Tangerine by Led Zeppelin would be good practice.

Edit: Learn Calico Skies by Paul McCartney. That song is great for practicing quick chord changes.

So what are your advice for a guy who can pull off any scale or power chord riff but somehow doesn't improve when it comes to other chords in any way.

I can pull off a solo like nobody's business, but simple chord progression and playing always stumps me.

This is basically me. I can play more or less anything if I have tab handy but have a tin ear so have a terrible time playing the most basic songs without it. This is also why I barely play anymore.

She's gorgeous (though she should be with her natural hair color) but people oversaturating pictures and fawning over her has ruined her to me.  These days, I just tend to Adblock pictures of her getting posted.

Though it is pretty telling how people react to a woman with a little body fat on her.  Not to mention a woman who isn't always clubbing or in and out of rehab.  She's the antithesis of female celebrities of the mid and late 2000s.

In the 5 person meeting today, I neither spoke or was spoken to once beyond "hellos". Only my iPhone kept me sane. Thankfully, the next meeting (in 2 weeks' time) is the last one ever for me - a new board will be picked and I can hand that shit off to someone else.

On the plus side, we're negotiating a new ISP provider contract that will give us a 1Gps (yes, GIGABIT) backbone for our 27-household apartment block. for USD$9/month. :rock

Considering the legal profession is in the shitter, if you don't have a passion for law, I wouldn't even bother.  That way you can work a crap retail job without the $100,000 student loan debt.

I don't know.  Coming from a person who owes a shitload in student loans, not having a bunch of them means a lot.  I'd risk the tail between the legs strategy if it meant having much greater financial flexibility in the future, instead of wondering how to make $1000 a month payments with a $35,000 a year job.  It's pessimistic and assumes you'd fail but given that the legal profession has taken an especially harsh beating, the industry will remain in poor shape for a while I imagine.  In that instance, I'd have to have a big passion for law to keep going.

Student loans will carry over from a bankruptcy.  Too many law school graduates kept trying to file for bankruptcy to avoid paying the loans from what I heard.

I hope that Congress can get through the law that cuts payments down to 10% of your monthly earnings and automatically ends after 20 years.  To have the kind of special protections that they do is pretty much bullshit.

Physiologically, sleep paralysis is closely related to the paralysis that occurs as a natural part of REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, which is known as REM atonia. Sleep paralysis occurs when the brain awakes from a REM state, but the body paralysis persists. This leaves the person fully conscious, but unable to move. The paralysis can last from several seconds to several minutes "after which the individual may experience panic symptoms and the realization that the distorted perceptions were false".[5] As the correlation with REM sleep suggests, the paralysis is not entirely complete; use of EOG traces shows that eye movement can be instigated during such episodes.[6] When there is an absence of narcolepsy, sleep paralysis is referred to as isolated sleep paralysis (ISP).[7]

In addition, the paralysis state may be accompanied by terrifying hallucinations (hypnopompic or hypnagogic) and an acute sense of danger.[8] Sleep paralysis is particularly frightening to the individual because of the vividness of such hallucinations.[7] The hallucinatory element to sleep paralysis makes it even more likely that someone will interpret the experience as a dream, since completely fanciful, or dream-like, objects (often described as looking distinctly demonic by those who experience the paralysis)[citation needed] may appear in the room alongside one's normal vision. Some scientists have proposed this condition as an explanation for alien abductions and ghostly encounters.[9] A study by Susan Blackmore and Marcus Cox (the Blackmore-Cox study) of the University of the West of England supports the suggestion that reports of alien abductions are related to sleep paralysis rather than to temporal lobe lability.[10]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_paralysis

I experienced this for the first time last week and I swear that I've never experienced fear like that in my life. I didn't go back to sleep until like 6 AM when the sun was coming up and I left the light on in my room. I haven't thought about it until last night and i wasn't able to go to sleep until 5 AM.

I'm 22 years old this month and I'm afraid of the fucking dark again. :-\

Ok.  I thought that you were going to be like a lot of law students that racks up a bunch of debt without a job.

When I was doing my engineering major, I hated every minute but trudged along anyway.  I didn't really have any passion for the major but I had to get something.

How did you do it?

Well, we talked for a couple of minutes about general shit and she had asked me what I did yesterday, I lied and told her I helped my sister do her Science project and black history report. She told me that she wanted to go see that Valentine's Day flick but couldn't get anyone to go with her.

At this point in the conversation my sister took the opportunity to remind me that I had someone to take her and that I was running late; so I told her that for the later half of the week I didn't have much going on and if she wanted, I could take her to go see the Valentine's Day movie. She told me I was very sweet for offering but she just doesn't like me like that.

So yeah, I don't understand what I did wrong but I will wallow in self-pity regardless.

This probably isn't valid advice seeing as how I've never scored, but: I would stop bullshitting and beating around the bush. Just be really forward.

You should have told her you dont like her like that either and you just wanted to go see a movie. Also frown while doing this.

This could possibly be a good tactic, or it would make her feel so awkward she'd still turn you down.

It depends on the kind of girl you're talking to in my experience.  Girls that really just want to fuck and get it on and not have anything super serious, be forward.  Girls that want a relationship, keep them guessing.

it's backwards!  I know!  The girls that say they're not looking for games and want to be serious are the ones who want you to play games and not be serious*!

*This isn't always the case and blindly judging any woman in any way is a bad idea and these suggestions are simply things to think about when you're analyzing how to get a woman.  You shouldn't seriously pursue either of these types of women.

Drama too.  so many of them love drama.  If you look like you're a rock that they can rely on to make them feel better and never hurt them or cause them pain, then you probably won't get anywhere.  bitches love drama.  Of course, this is not indicative of every woman.  But probably the majority especially in the early 20's age range.  It doesn't matter.  You should fucking avoid them.  You don't want a relationship with them.  No no no.  So all the advice you see on GAF and on here about being cocky and funny and being somewhat an asshole and playing mindgames.  Ignore that shit.  Ignore it, ignore it, ignore it, ignore it.  You don't want a woman like that.  It's easier being alone than being in a bad relationship.  Play it honestly and as yourself and find a woman who likes you for that*

Early on?  Yeah.  After a relationship has started though?  Not so much.  I've met quite a few women who liked to give head at the beginning of a relationship to win you over and then when you're dating the line chart for headgiving nosedives.  And I've met quite a few women who really like to hold it over you like it's a scooby snack.

I think "I don't like to give head" is usually honest, though "I love to give head" generally translates as "I'm somewhat desperate".

Yeah, that sounds like a used car salesman. "But what if I throw in the stereo upgrade for free?"

... Real advice: women are not strange, exotic animals - they're human beings. Just talk to them like a normal person. One size-fits-all Internet advice rarely works for someone with limited experience and little confidence. So don't listen to anyone here.

I agree but I hope that Green Man doesn't fall into the Virgin-Age trap.

Those stories are supposed to be funny but they're pretty sad in reality.  At the end of the day, you have anonymous dudes laughing at your story online but you wake up to realize you're a 25 year old virgin and your only option is a love pillow and the latest harem anime.

Eh, there is always hope. If the dude who looks like the punchline for Andy Milonakis and Jonah Hill on "If They Mated" (i.e. me) can have a relatively healthy social life, then it's possible for pretty much anyone.

Early on?  Yeah.  After a relationship has started though?  Not so much.  I've met quite a few women who liked to give head at the beginning of a relationship to win you over and then when you're dating the line chart for headgiving nosedives.  And I've met quite a few women who really like to hold it over you like it's a scooby snack.

Goes without saying.

Generally, if someone's really obviously changing their behavior to snag a partner, you can count on that person 1) dropping all the effort once the relationship's locked in, and 2) having enough underlying issues behind their original insecurity that there are gonna be further problems.

"She's treating me great right now because she isn't sure she's got my approval and affection yet" isn't a stable basis for romance, but in the honeymoon phase it's hard for a lot of people to see it like that.

Very true.  Most people are just so swept up with the relationship they can't differentiate between real affection and desperate over achieving.  

After a while though, all these things start to become clearer.  It just takes a little experience.  

Learning how to spot manipulative and insecure people isn't easy in a relationship and it just takes a bit of experience and usually some heartache.  And it's usually not something that can be taught.

Hell, a lot of the problems you're going to have in your first few relationships is really figuring out what you want.  We can sit here and talk about these nutty insecure people all day, but everyone has their issues in relationships.  The only difference is the length that some people will go to get what they want in a relationship.  Some people are malicious and some aren't.  Some people grow out of the bullshit and some don't.

It's a mine field!  Have fun!

Just be yourself. I'm most nervous when I plan on acting in a way I wouldn't normally act. I've been talking to a chick who works at the school library for the last few weeks; sometimes I start the convo, sometimes she does. But regardless of how it's started I just talk/act like I'd normally act, and it works. I don't know if she likes me - she laughs at my jokes n stuff, and smiles at me - but I'm not really concerned.

He'd take a nice girl and make her emotionally and sometimes financially dependent on him, then make her a neurotic mess just so she would make a big, elaborate deal about how much she needed him. I saw it happen twice, both times the women were almost completely insane when he cut ties with them after he thought he could get more attention from someone else.

He'd go out and not come back for days (with no calls or communication). He made one girlfriend jealous of a co-worker, and then would tell his girlfriend he was staying late at work all the time just to make her neurotic about an affair (only to make her feel guilty once he proved that he was not having an affair). He usually promised to take care of something financially and then threaten to back out when it was most inopportune for the lady in question, because she didn't "express her feelings" enough. So on.

He was an emotionally manipulative person. It's why I don't hang out with this person anymore.

I've never met anyone like that guy.

Blacks are the most religious ethnicity in the US, true. But if you're a non-religious person in a religious area, of course you'll stick out, regardless of the race of the person and the area. So I disagree there.

Yes, but only among the religious segments of the community. If I told my grandparents I wasn't religious they'd not only be disappointed, but worry themselves crazy. Some of my parents friends have similar views on religion and would have a completely different opinion of me if I told them I wasn't religious; they'd certainly stop parading their daughters around me.

But that's just a subset of black people I know.

I don't go to church unless I have to. That being said, I have bible class at my parents house almost every sunday. Mainly because I don't feel like starting a fight. It's odd because my parents are having trouble with my two youngest brothers, and they seem to think bible class is going to help. They just seem completely out of touch. But at the same time my brothers are complete assholes and rather ungrateful. I was an ass when I was younger, but I realized there were certain things I had to do to get by, whether it was doing my chores or not starting a fight over church. They won't even do those small things consistently, and everytime I go to my parents house I witness multiple arguments or petty verbal sniping that would have resulted in my death if I tried that shit 10 years ago. Truly pisses me off, especially considering my mom isn't healthy and them constantly teaming up on her is indefensible.

Have your parents read the whole Bible? What's interesting about Bible Study is that they don't really seem to authentically study the Bible. It's more like they study certain Books.

I only go to church when my mothers asks me to. I don't do communion, I sing sometimes because I like the songs (even if they're beyond morbid, with an extreme emphasis on death which probably hails from slavery), and when they pray I either stand up and don't say a thing and look at everyone else, or I just remain seated.

They've read the bible. Our classes are exclusively in the new testament, and exclusively in Pauline books.

When we pray I go along with the crowd, although I don't close my eyes and don't really bow my head. My grandma will constantly say she wants to see me preaching one day, and I kind of just sit there with nothing to say.

I think my father is really open. He rarely goes to church these days but he's still a devout Christian. My late grandmother was a Buddhist. What's interesting about the black community is how religiously diverse it is. It's not just Christianity and Islam, it's those two, Buddhism, and even stuff like voodoo.

The folks I know are rather closed off to other religions, which baffles me. Obviously a Christian would disagree with a Muslim on things, but you'd think there would be some mutual respect or something. Instead I often get a hostile, disparaging vibe from Christians in relation to their opinions on other religions, regardless of the similarities (say moral issues for instance).

Reading the last few posts made me realize: I'm totally fine being a virgin throughout my 20s. Fuck college-age women. Stupid bitches.

Then it'll be your 30s and you'll be ok with that

I'm just being bitter.

I don't really care ever. It isn't about losing my virginity (although no one here is going to believe that), and I'm not anti-social, I don't hate women and I'm not really in control when it comes to who I ultimately fall in love with. But I'm not going to "play the game". I ain't the one for that kinda shit.

When I was a bitter 17 year old virgin, I was fine with living the rest of my life as a celibate.  "I started varsity football, had a lot of friends, I worked two jobs, I was pretty smart, had a bright future, and these bitches still didn't want anything to do with me?  Well fuck them."  Then I was 19 and realized that most women in their 20s will expect their boyfriends to have some kind of experience.  The further you put it off, I imagine the worse it will get because they're not going to want to spend their time dealing with guys who don't know how to kiss or are two pump chumps I figured.  So I changed my mentality, starting busting ass in the gym, and got laid at 19.  Dropping 60 pounds or so helped out a lot on the confidence front.

In hindsight, my "fuck me?  well, fuck you" was just a defense mechanism and a justification for laziness and social ineptitude.  In my opinion, you should drop that mentality and try to work on your women skills.

However I have to stress that the women here are not interesting to me in the least. I haven't met a girl worth the trouble in my entire life. If I'm going to step up my game, it isn't going to be here in California.

EDIT: Reread my post and it comes off as snobbish. I'm not meaning this in the way that none of them are 'good enough' for me. I'm meaning that on a basic level I don't get along with these women well enough to pursue them.

EDIT2: There's no way I can say what I'm trying to say without it sounding like bullshit. So just ignore everything under that first line.

Yeah, see I can't really win here. No matter what I'm coming off as a bitter dick who should wise up and do something to get with more women.

When the reality is I really, REALLY, don't care.

If all relationships boil down to is how good the sex is, then I'm never having any of it. If I can't be in love with somebody who will have the patience to deal with my shortcomings like I will have for hers, then what the hell is the point?

I was bitter before, but this is real talk now. I don't hate women, they're wonderful and beautiful etc. etc. (can't continue without sounding like I'm putting the pussy on a pedestal), but I just haven't found one worth the chase.

Thanks for your concern, though, I've really lost all hope for myself. I'll probably just go gay.

Writing off an entire state of women? :wag

I don't feel like playing Roissy but I just think that putting it off makes it exponentially harder for you as women get older, they expect men to have some kind of experience.  Being an awkward 14 year old when you're 24 isn't really endearing, I suspect.

Yeah, see I can't really win here. No matter what I'm coming off as a bitter dick who should wise up and do something to get with more women.

You can find someone willing to deal with your shortcomings.  It's pretty easy when someone actually cares about you.  But for most women you have to show that you're working on it.  And not trying to assume anything, but the way your posts are coming off you make it sound like you're just going to wait around and not make the effort.  That's what women (people in general) don't like.  They mostly want to see you at least try for them.

Oh and great sex is a huge, huge, huge part of a relationship.  Especially at the beginning.  Great sex chemistry really needs to be there.

Just got this:

Quote
Dear Arvie:

We would like to update you on your application for a USRA NSERC award.  Although your application was not successful in receiving an award, you were one of the applicants placed on the Reserve List.  What this means is that should any of the winning candidates choose to decline his/her award (and this does happen), CGSR will then choose a replacement from the reserve list.  Successful candidates have until February 26 to accept or decline after which time the reserve listed applicants are considered.  If your application is ultimately unsuccessful, we are pleased to tell you that the Department has decided to step in and provide some funds even if in the end NSERC cannot.

This means that with matching funds from your supervisor, Dr. [Name], you will be able to be work on research over the summer months in the Department.  You should get in touch with Dr. [Name] to discuss the project you will be working on and to get a better insight into the particular summer research activities in which you will be involved. Then, please let your supervisor and me know whether you are willing to accept this offer or not.

Congratulations on your high level of academic achievement and your interest in getting involved in research.  We look forward to having you as part of the Department's research activities this summer.

Kind of disappointed it probably won't be an NSERC, as once you get one it's easier to get another, and if you get one for grad school you're pretty much set.  But still it's pretty awesome regardless.

No. I agree with everything in your post, and I figured I'd come off like that, but I do give the effort when I'm interested. I just become uninterested after a short while.

I understand that sex is a huge deal too, trust me.

Really I feel stuck here. If I go out and try for women I get turned down over and over and over again. And when I give up and want to take a break then all the dudes I know keep giving me shit about what I'm doing and I should try harder etc. etc.

However I have to stress that the women here are not interesting to me in the least. I haven't met a girl worth the trouble in my entire life. If I'm going to step up my game, it isn't going to be here in California.

If you don't talk to women then you won't know if they're worth it or not.  I'm sitting here furious about my cuntrag professor and just surveying the room I can see a dozen or so attractive girls.  To say all of them aren't worth it or interested is incorrect even if we wanted to talk about statistics.  If you watch the series Peep Show, there is a great episode where one of the characters stands around looking at women thinking "she has a vagina, she has a vagina, that one definitely has a vagina."  Anyone can get a girl if they really wanted.  But if you don't, it's nothing to worry about.  At your age it's probably either sex or benefits of a relationship (and negative).  If you don't care for any of that, there is nothing wrong with that.  But if you do, then I dunno, chances are you'll be able to find someone as long as you don't have ridiculously high standards or are painfully shy.  Chances of someone approaching you are less likely.

Then again, I'm not one to talk.  I'm pretty weird.

and seriously, fuck this professor.  This is a required class and I want to graduate as soon as I can.

Thanks, man. I hope you aren't trolling or anything.

And for everyone who says that I'm making blanket statements: the cool thing about being in the friend zone all the time is you really get to know who women are when you're around them. I've befriended countless women, most of which I had at least a passing interest in, and by becoming their friend I got to know them and through knowing them eventually disliked them. They just aren't interesting.

Everyone in my area is either a stoner or a partier. The former usually already have boyfriends, and the latter I stay away from because I'm not a party-guy.
Title: Re: Official Thread of Flogging the Log: A Place for Better Random Talk
Post by: Phoenix Dark on February 16, 2010, 03:24:54 PM
No trolling. And I agree about friend zones. I'm sorry, but the idea that every woman you meet should be on your fuck list is sophomoric. I have a couple really good female friends. I've had cases where one wanted to be more, and when I turned her down our friendship took a hit; it's still an unspoken barrier between us, but we've become good friends again.

As I said yesterday, I'm most successful and confident when I act like myself. Honestly I don't think I'd be good in a romantic relationship (I'm a loner) right now, so I'm not looking for one. But if it happened and I was interested enough, cool beans.

I think PD and I would probably make a pretty good couple.  The "friend zone" only sucks when you're actively pursuing the girl.  And knowing a girl beforehand will help eliminate a lot of guessing from just meeting and dating chicks.

tbh I'm not. I don't see the point in lying on an internet forum. And I spent all my puberty years trolling people over the internet, I'm done now.

You can just ask for a girl to buttfuck you with a strap on, or stick a finger in your ass while fucking.

Yeah that'd be pretty nice.

No, I don't think that. If I'm on like 4chan or something and come across gay porn, I don't think it's wrong, I just don't care for it. It isn't an overtly negative or positive response. I don't think men, the way their bodies are shaped, are attractive. All really harsh angles and the like. I love curves.

I think I've already been over this, but I can totally go for transgendered men, as some pass the look test with flying colors, but most MtFs don't keep their penis, and if they're anatomically a woman, might as well go with a from-birth woman.

And if I was in a situation where it was "right there", I can say pretty doubtlessly I'd be down. In my head I'm kind of a slut, so I'd be all over that shit in a jiffy. Hard bottom.

I dunno, man. I've never seen sexuality as a black/white thing, and I'm not confused about it. Sex = OK with any gender. Relationships = Only women need apply.

Raban is young and confused.  Go to college and join a frat.  Eventually there will be some m4m action as well as some sorostitutes.  You can figure where you stand after the first semester after you've sampled both.

No way. I have enough gay friends that I don't need to do this, but testing feminine waters is much tougher.

Girls first time shouldnt be with someone who justs wants to "experience" it. But the way you talked about her so far suggests youre serious with your intentions which is good.

Yeah, believe me, I would prefer it if she weren't a virgin, but she is, so that's that. I just feel like there's a lot of responsibility on my end 'cause her first time will definitely color her perspective on sex. I don't want it to be incredibly emotional.

Yeah, believe me, I would prefer it if she weren't a virgin, but she is, so that's that. I just feel like there's a lot of responsibility on my end 'cause her first time will definitely color her perspective on sex. I don't want it to be incredibly emotional. I want it to be really fun, and I want it to communicate to her that sex should be, above all, fun. Fun and spontaneous and free.

To maximise the 'fun and free' factor and minimise the deep emotional trauma I'd limit sexual intercourse to like 5% of the total time of the encounter.  Doing other stuff that's more fun and involves little to no stress might leave her with a better impression.

Unless she wants it in the butt. :teehee

To whom?  If they're both virgins they have nothing to base it on.  Now if it was being filmed or witnessed, that sounds hot. 

If they have a sense of humour, I'm sure they'd see the funny side to it.

I was just thinking: what if we gave all junkies cash incentives to be sterilized? Benefits the junkies as they'd be able to supply their addiction for awhile, and it would benefit society, as there would be no more crack babies. Thoughts?

It's slightly better than forced sterilization. Forced sterilization may seem much worse because those who are sterilized don't consent. But to what extent can those with strong addictions refuse? They're addicted, desperate for money, and under the influence of strong drugs--not in the best position to make important, potentially permanent, decisions about their reproductive rights. Many would sell their own organs if they could.

And such a program would, invariably, disproportionately affect the poor. Addicts with means, for the most part, would not even consider such a program.

Some people whine that population growth is unsustainable at the birth rates that are being experienced in most first world nations but that is a good thing.  Overflowing the planet with more people so we use up natural resources at a faster clip is not sustainable by any means.  Better to have a smaller population.

I remember feeling like shit as I was walking out of the restaurant cuz I sold The Last Remnant without beating it, so when this stupid little kid started following me back to the car I threw him into the bushes like a boss. Turned out the kid was the son of a churro vendor that had set up shop in the parking lot, so the churro guy came after me with a bat. I woke up before he could beat the shit out of me.

yeah I know I know, like I said Ive been thinking about for half a year, and I think Ive made up my mind and really want a relationship with her. Our jobs dont overlap at all so I never deal with her for anything work related, and I might bump into her once every few days so yeah. I think were both straight up sensible adults so I cant see anything really bad happening. She may just say no, no biggie

I've always been told that its usually a really bad idea to date a co-worker because if things go south it messes up the workplace too.

I know my company has a strict (and is enforced actually) no office-romance policy.

Women can turn straight up nuts due to a relationship though.  And you may not see her often, but i'm sure you two interact with a lot of the same people or people you interact with interact with people she interacts with.  And women love to talk.  But as long as you know the risks.  

I took the risks a couple of years ago and nearly lost my job.  i made a thread about it on here.  People in the other side of the building on the top floor (I was in the basement!) knew about us because she couldn't keep her mouth shut.

I was just told to let HR know, but that if it ever came down to a decision to get rid of me or not, being in an office relationship would only hurt me there.  They said it's always a negative when a company sees it and needs to make a decision based off of it.

After my experience, my advice to anyone is avoid, avoid, avoid, avoid.

People will find out someway and people will talk because that's what people do in an office and it most likely will not be the truth.  It can get ugly really fucking fast.

I was surfing Gordon Ramsay's website (don't ask), and saw that he has a trillion restaurants. The dude is richer than I imagined.

Anyway, under 'Europe' it said he had a restaurant 'au Trianon.' I almost flipped out and thought it was actually at the Trianon, but happily it's just at some hotel just off the grounds.

Went to a basketball game (Eastern Michigan vs University of Detroit) and sat next to a creepy ass dude. He kept making rather loud, sexual comments about Detroit's dance team; they were actually pretty hot, and looked like women whereas the Detroit cheerleaders looked like high schoolers.

"look at them hips, damn"
"i wonder if that one has got it on with any of the players heh"
etc  :-\

The funny thing is no one complained, but once he mentioned a spoiler from Lost to a buddy, someone behind me got upset and told him to stfu because he hadn't seen the latest episode  :lol

dont feel bad, I heard naps are actually quite healthy to take. It increases concentration and gives you the little boost in energy you need for the remaining part of the day, as opposed to feeling worn out mentally towards the end of the day.

What a crappy day.  My epistemology midterm went horribly.  After the test I, I couldn't think of any kind of small talk to make with the prof. which made me feel inept, then I got on the bus and accidentally sat by someone I knew from HS, which is something I try to avoid.  Small talk went bad there too.  I really don't belong around people.

I hate some of my professors so much.  One professor sends an email out about "a great opportunity--you should all attend! free $15 rebate just for attending!" and it takes place the same date and time as the midterm for his class.

Between this psycho and the jackass who skips the exam review and pushes it up without notice, this is definitely the worst semester yet.  And these two on average are the better ones.  The other ones include a math course where the teacher mumbles and fails to explain anything, add to that my hate for math courses and the two hour class length and it's a nightmare; the only thing that stops me from going crazy is this one person who sits near me who freaks out daily and makes me feel like I'm the second worst.  I can't think of the right words to describe the last professor.

I dunno if anyone remembers, but earlier in this thread I mentioned meeting a girl with one leg at a party, and even though I put my foot in my mouth with a embarassing comment, she still seemed interested.

Well, since then I've seen her on campus a few times and she still seems interested.  Besides being an amputee, she's definitely attractive.  Things have been going well, though, with my ex-girlfriend recently and I don't want to mess up getting back together with her, but I can't help but fantasize about having sex with that one-legged vixen.

I know a couple of guys who followed scale charts religiously and all they play now are covers and predetermined horse shit riffs. It really fucks with your creativity and keeps you on a set path composition-wise. I say avoid it and just go with the flow.

I played trombone in school band from 1997 to 2003 and I didn't know the notes. I just saw the notes on the sheet and would be all,"Oh, that's first position, third position, seventh position."

I held first seat the good amount of time in middle and high school band despite all of this.

That said, knowing scales and chords can increase enjoyment of an instrument, just don't rely on it. My first guitar lessons, the guy only taught me chords. It sucked. Balance chords with progressing musical ability. That's how you play an instrument.

If all someone knows is the Am pentatonic, then of course they aren't going to be a very versatile player.

But really, what is a scale? It's just a group of notes that sounds good in a certain key or over certain chords. On the guitar, a scale pattern is just a way of arranging those notes for maximum efficiency and ease of memorization.

Unless someone has a really, really great ear, it's unlikely that he/she would naturally figure out the best notes to play in each situation. At the very least, it would require someone to know all the notes in each key and which ones sound good over the different chords in the key. And anyone who is going to take the trouble to learn all that might as well just learn the corresponding scales and save some time. Scales are shortcuts and rough guidelines. It's not as though someone playing in G pentatonic can only play G, A, B, D and E. You can always go outside the scale if it sounds good.

Also, there's the fact that just about every melody you can conceive of consists of notes that fit into some kind of scale.

Sorry Agent, I don't ascribe to the "theory will stifle your creativity man" theory.  Theory and technique are a toolbox, the more you know the fewer limitations you'll run up against and the easier it is to approximate what's going on in your head.

If you learn scales and your improvising suffers as a result it's because you don't have the ability to improvise well.  Playing covers and predetermined horse shit riffs is a result of learning covers and predermined horseshit riffs, not learning scales.

Sorry, I just can't stand "fundamentalists" whether they are the "this song is in A flyxodidlian dominant but with a flat second for that phrygaliada flavour" group or the "theory stifles you man, play what you feel!" group.

Scales are for shemales. I've been playing for 9 years and I only know one scale. And I don't even know what it's called. I know a couple of guys who followed scale charts religiously and all they play now are covers and predetermined horse shit riffs. It really fucks with your creativity and keeps you on a set path composition-wise. I say avoid it and just go with the flow. If you have an ear for music you'll pick shit up as you go along and they stick with you much longer.

Sorry Agent, I don't ascribe to the "theory will stifle your creativity man" theory.  Theory and technique are a toolbox, the more you know the fewer limitations you'll run up against and the easier it is to approximate what's going on in your head.

If you learn scales and your improvising suffers as a result it's because you don't have the ability to improvise well.  Playing covers and predetermined horse shit riffs is a result of learning covers and predermined horseshit riffs, not learning scales.

Sorry, I just can't stand "fundamentalists" whether they are the "this song is in A flyxodidlian dominant but with a flat second for that phrygaliada flavour" group or the "theory stifles you man, play what you feel!" group.

Whatever floats your boat, sailor. I've never really benefited from any of the scales some of my friends tried to shove down my throat and I believe myself to be quite good. I've also recommended this idea to many people who are now really good at what they do with successful bands. I may have gone a bit overboard in promoting the idea that it will negatively effect your creativity but based on my personal findings, I'm glad I didn't bog myself down with scale charts. It helped me out a fuckton playing grindcore that's for sure.

That's fair enough.  Since I improvise with others and everyone brings different styles to the table I see the value in being able to simply improvise an interesting progression that's in key, rather than stringing eight chords together complete with eight nonsensical key changes, or playing the same tired progressions over and over again.

That said, knowing scales and chords can increase enjoyment of an instrument, just don't rely on it. My first guitar lessons, the guy only taught me chords. It sucked. Balance chords with progressing musical ability. That's how you play an instrument.

What else would you start with?

It's useful to start by learning open chords because you can play >50% of the popular music composed in the last 50 years in some form if you know C, D, Em, G, Am, A, E, F, Dm and the four basic power chord shapes.

Obviously if you've been playing awhile and you still only know your open chords and power chords, it's time to branch out, but the open chords are a great place for a beginner to start. Teaching a beginner a few popular songs that use these chords, like Wish You Were Here or Redemption Song, is good because it keeps them interested and also helps them learn how to strum properly.

Always glad to offer advice. There are many different philosophies when it comes to any kind of study. I think the main reason for this is that not everyone learns the same way, and not everyone has the same objectives. It's best to find a method that helps you make the most improvement that you can for the style you want.

I feel that people need to learn chords because at least half of practical guitar playing is rhythm. I personally know about five guitarists who destroy me when it comes to playing lead, but who can't play rhythm to save their lives. The other day I was jamming with a guy, and I tried to show him a basic B7-D9-E9 blues progression, and he just couldn't get it down. He could play sweep arpeggios all day, but his strumming sounded like shit, and he didn't have much of a sense for chord changes.

Being able to play lead effectively is a great skill, and that's what I've been devoting pretty much all of my practice time to over the last year or so. But to be honest, you're going to get a lot more people interested and involved while playing Free Fallin' or Sweet Home Alabama (or whatever song) around a campfire than you will while trying to emulate a Slayer solo with no rhythm section to back you up. Shredding when done outside the context of a band and a song is like masturbation - it might be fun as hell for you, but no one besides your girlfriend really wants to watch you do it, at least not for very long.

So do both. You should always have a few songs, either covers or your own, that you can play all the way through. You want to be able to improvise over a chord progression while also being able to play a nice sounding chord progression for other people to improvise over. Guitar is one of the most versatile instruments out there, so you should really take advantage of all that you can do with it.

Yeah, that's essentially what happened - she was talking about being bored so I took the opportunity to stick my foot in the door.  I hate it, but yeah.  We were out having casual drinks the other night and she mentioned boredom then too but like a dumb bastard I didn't twig.  Later I realised maybe it was a subtle cue.

We've already been out to dinner a couple of times (I did those by phone) but we've also know each other for few years so it's in that odd middle-ground phase where neither is sure what the other is thinking (at least, I'm not sure, which is nothing new to me).

What did it say?

She talked about being bored and painting her nails for something to do so I said "if you run out of nails, I'd enjoy doing something with you (by which I mean climb a mountain or go go-karting or chuck laps around wineries.  As you know I don't mean clubbing, I'm old and decrepit after all).  So if you reach new levels of boredom keep it in mind!"

So yeah, it took me half an hour to attempt to write something that doesn't look like it took half an hour.  Talking to people might take more nerve, but it also only takes 30 seconds. :lol

And I didn't include a smiley face! :omg

I think the "keep it in mind!" thing was a bit too passive.  But you know this chick better than I do, although I do know the middle ground area you're talking about.  IMO, it should have been more like "well since you only have so many nails, let me take you out and entertain you sometime!"

People working at software/game companies-- is the source code for a game considered a trade secret?   I was just thinking about Panzer Dragoon Orta (which had its source code lost by sega, I guess) and was wondering why something like source code couldn't be extracted from a copy of the game.

Well, I am no programmer...but as far as I know, source code has to be compiled before hardware can run it. They don't put the actual source code on the disk. Whether there is some way to "decompile" it back to the source code, I don't know...but from talking to people who have worked for game companies that have had problems along the lines you mention, it doesn't seem to be possible. Some firms just resort to emulating the original h/w when they do DS ports for this reason, and maybe swap in some new art assets.

You know what has bothered me all day?

Generating non-contiguous subsets from an n-length array.

You know what is sad about that fact?

It wasn't my problem to solve, it was somebody else's. But the quest to solve it nagged me, and I've spent mental hours dwelling upon it. I avoided it, because it wasn't my problem, still thought about. Arrived at the conclusion that it would probably require recursion to accomplish it, left it at that. Came back and said "well, it it is going to require recursion, what would be the proper recursive function to do it?" And, of course, I wrote one. But it was inefficient, required an extra object just to monitor the situation because although I arrived at all possible subsets, I would have included a lot of duplicates without the extra object I was using to monitor things. And then that bugged me. So I came back to it, started over from scratch, dumped the recursion and finally arrived at a winning function, which I then turned into a generic.

Code: [Select]
static List<T[]> CreateSubsets<T>(T[] originalArray)
{
    List<T[]> subsets = new List<T[]>();

    for (int i = 0; i < originalArray.Length; i++)
    {
        int subsetCount = subsets.Count;
        subsets.Add(new T[] { originalArray[i] });

        for (int j = 0; j < subsetCount; j++)
        {
            T[] newSubset = new T[subsets[j].Length + 1];
            subsets[j].CopyTo(newSubset, 0);
            newSubset[newSubset.Length - 1] = originalArray[i];
            subsets.Add(newSubset);
        }
    }

    return subsets;
}

And now it's grating on my nerves that it took me so long to arrive at something so simple.  >:(

And you know why I've spent the better part of the day dwelling on this? Because some dude somewhere posted a homework problem yesterday on the web that said he had to find all zero-sum subsets within a 5 integer array. Which, of course, I solved in relatively short order, but I had limited it to contiguous subsets. I didn't post the answer, merely a suggestion, because (after all) it was homework and dude should figure it out for himself. But then he came back and said he couldn't figure out my suggestion but also indicated via his additional description that it might not only have to find subset a-b-c but also a-c-e!

Anyone hate being the IT guy for the folks?

My mom went through her THIRD WORK LAPTOP in less than a year, and decided to buy a personal one. So yesterday evening, I spent most of my free time setting it up for her, removing all the bloat ware, installing proper security measures, counseling on her on routine maintenance and what not to do. I got her Digsby to consolidate all fifty of her stupid social messaging programs.

Today, after I got done with breakfast, I got a call that it's acting all funky and when I just checked it, she's got like fifty messaging programs ("I didn't like Digsby!"), downloaded some weird bloatware themes package ("I didn't like the one in the background!") and had already fucked up her computer with malware. :lol

I was like, "Fuck it, you're on your own."

She plays all these shitty flash games and buys all these wacky fucking mahjong and puzzle games from less-than-reputable sources. Everytime I try to get her to buy PopCap games or use specific software vendors, she turns her nose at me.

She also exercises no proper application management or software maintenance. Her laptops have approximately ONE BILLION shortcuts and she leaves fifty million windows open.

She hates the new laptop too. It's brand new Gateway! She hates the new LED screen because "the font is too small", but when I use Windows 7 to make it bigger it the font then becomes "too large". She is irritated by the fact that the shortcuts have little arrows in the icons (which I had to tell her was always the case) and why all of her music did not appear in iTunes when she loaded it up for the first time (she has not imported her library over from the iPod yet).

Old people. :lol

She'd run each machine into the ground until it couldn't even boot from the hard drive. I was able to salvage the desktops, but I don't feel like tinkering with her work laptops.

Her IT guys just give her a new machine, as well. But when there's downtime, she has nothing, since she uses her work laptop for personal computing. That's why she went and bought a personal laptop.

Like I said, I'm not doing anything with her work laptops. Those have specific programs and software that go over my head (a lot of government and security garbage), so it's not really a matter of just loading her up with Windows 7. Besides, that's what they pay her IT people for.

In the past, I have resurrected desktops though.

she: Hi.  I've been sitting close to you so I figured I should talk to you at some point.
me: Yes, in this configuration there are only two seats adjacent to yours -- I suppose you could consider the booth behind you, but it's really too far away to count -- so it makes sense that you'd eventually try to engage both neighbors, although you're of course not obligated to do so.
she: Um, right.  Anyway, so ... I think I've seen you somewhere before.  Do you live around here?  I mean, do you come here a lot ... do you come here often?
me: Yes.
she: I'm not hitting on you, though.

These are her work laptops? And she treats them like this?

The thing is, it's not like she believes she is using the computer improperly. Her belief is that it is a machine and that it is doing what it is designed to do - its failure to stay up with her fast-paced, flash game lifestyle is on the hardware, not her.

Quote
Why wont she listen to you about reputable casual sites?

Eh, she's old and stubborn. She argued with me this morning for fifteen minutes that she can load her entire MP3 library to any machine just by logging into her iTunes account and I had to tell her that it really didn't work like that.

Just get her a macbook :smug

Because it would be better for her and you? You wouldn't need to keep attending to her broken PCs because she wouldn't be able to bloat them up with malware and viruses. This isn't a matter of PC vs Mac, its a matter of someone as stubborn as her who refuses to do the right security and computer maintenance would probably be better off with a mac.

And no need for the stereotypes either!

She'd never go to Apple at this stage in her life. Everything is about comfortability for her. She doesn't even like to use Digsby and would rather use six different messaging devices out of stubbornness! The switch from PC to Mac would probably be too much for her to bear, and I'd be burying my poor mum after just a weekend of trying to slog through such a pretentiously hip OS.

The only way that would work is if you say "This is my stop", walk a bit aways, put some change in a drink, and then sit down at a another table while saying out loud "Does this bus go downtown?".  Added points if you walk backwards the entire time.

If it wasn't for the fact that it would just come off as awkward, I'd e-mail her an accompanying message that forewarned her about the typo and blamed it on my stupid roommate Arvie, who messed up the public area PC's spellcheck with by modifying it.

I'm a masochist.  The first 2 times were on holidays.  and within a week of each other (Dec. 25 ~2 AM and Dec 31 ~11pm).  So I figured "avoid on holidays!"

Then I had it out of the blue.  I couldn't smell a bacon ultimate cheeseburger or think about one without getting sick for like 2 years. 

Then I had some bad tacos one night and I decided "Okay, no more tacos!"  At this point I was able to eat the bacon ultimate cheeseburgers again so I thought I was okay.  Then I had a hamburger deluxe, got sick as a motherfucker and swore it off forever.  This was about 5 months ago.

Never again, motherfuckers.  Never again.

Edit: To be clear, only the first two times were from the same store and to be fair, i have a pretty weak stomach when it comes to food.  it's easily upset.

I've seen this in a movie before. At first, you'll despise him and have a hard time putting up with his old and crazy ways.  Then one day, he'll do something completely wrong, but with the best intentions (which you won't understand at the time.)  You'll get really mad and blow up at him...then he'll just get sad, sit you down, and tell you a story about how he fought in the war, which will give you both a new found understanding of him while also providing you with perspective on your own life.  It'll dawn on you all along that he's a genius with a lot to teach you.  From then on, each day with him will be a fulfilling learning experience.

I'm so sick of arguing with banks. Today marked the 3rd time in 6 month I've had to show the lady on the phone that I was charged overdraft fees when the money was in there.
Her: bu bu bu there was a tip left on your card and that doesn't come out right away
Me: It was a 2 dollar tip and the money was in there
Her: Well, it confuses the system
Me: Then your system is a moron

Seriously, I shouldn't have to babysit my bank and argue over reversing fees that shouldn't have been charged in the first place. Greedy fucks!

I hate my banks.

Wells Fargo decided to close my savings account for inactivity because I hadn't made any withdrawals in 6 months.  Uhh, but there were deposits every two weeks for the last 6 months!  Then to get it reactivated was a pain in the ass and my online banking STILL doesn't work. 

Chase had one of their atm's compromised and when we called to file a claim the dude says it will take 48 hours to investigate.  Within 3 minutes we had an email saying our claim was denied.  We called back and this lady says "someone had access to your card.  i'm sorry but you need to find out who you knew that had access.  the transactions were done in your area.  the claim is denied and it's going to stay denied."  I'm glad this power hungry bitch knows more about where my card was than I do!  It took a ton of bitching before we got them to do further investigation and the lady tells us "we have a guide for isntant denials if it meets a certain criteria so our representatives were just doing what they were told to do."  Well can you tell them to fuck themselves?

Oh and when Enterprise does an inquiry to make sure I have more than 500 in my account so I can rent a car, that doesn't mean to hold 500 fucking dollars for 3 weeks, Chase!  2 and a half weeks after I already returned the motherfucking car!

Well I'm more than comfortable enough talking to people I know and I can hold a conversation for hours with someone new if I've been drinking a little but sober I just can't deal with anyone I haven't spoken to much, I completely freeze up most of the time and when I don't the above happens soon enough. It just makes it pretty hard to talk to people in my classes who are people I'd really like to be friends with most of the time.

My main problem is that it's like a 50/50 chance I will be either charmingly awkward or 'i need to get away from this conversation' awkward. If someone opens the conversation with a compliment or my voice starts too high/loud/quiet I get completely thrown off and it's pretty much downhill from there :lol

The worst part is knowing I just need to relax more but not being able to do that, I remember last year for a couple of months I would have an irish coffee before work so I could talk with customers easier. I stopped but to be honest it wasn't enough to negatively effect my work or to be noticeable and it did help me out quite a lot, I felt pretty guilty about it though.

me: the place is normally pretty quiet, although my roommate plays his gospel music rather loudly at times lol
him: oh for real, I'm into that too. I make gospel hip-hop, I'm a producer on the side.
me: oh, that's...cool
him: yea man, givin god the props, that's what I'm about.

My logic prof. told an awesome story about meeting Saul Kripke today in class.  He actually used to the words "He can't sit still.  I mean he rocks back and forth like he should be wearing a helmet"  :lol
This seems to be common among nerds or anybody else who is concentrating very hard.  I saw a doc on Bill Gates/Microsoft and it showed him with some other engineers in a conference room brainstorming rocking back and forth like a metronome and the narrator mentioned how this habit was pretty common with software engineers.  I see the same thing during tests in chemistry and physics.  Maybe that's why they call it assburgers?

The only incident I had on a bus with a girl was one who commented on me reading Discipline and Punish by saying "You got to love Foucault."  And I didn't realize I was being talked to right away, so when I looked up there was this woman staring at me, and then it sunk in that she was talking to me, and instead of replying I just starred back like an asshole.  She promptly got off the bus.

My day was shit!
My 2nd support call to iphone tech support landed me a visit to the "genius bar" at the nearest apple store...... 2 hours away.  :yuck Fine, I leave work(since I need my phone for work) and hit the road. Half way there, I stop at a gas station to get some fuel and a snack. I buy a starbucks mocha double shot and hit the road. I drink the drink and things are great until I'm about 20 minutes to the mall. My stomach is all messed up and I pull over because I thought I had to puke. It doesn't happen so I get back in my car and get to the mall where the apple store is. I walk in and ask where the bathroom is. I get to the stall just in time as I have to go #2 very bad. I'm cleaning myself up and then I feel it coming up... stand up, turn around and puke into the toilet with my pants still around my ankles. Pretty muck like that South Park episode with Kenny's dad.  :lol

I collect myself and am now in the hunt for a bottle of water. I get the water and find the store and get in line. The tell me I'm early and to just hang out. I thought I was there to get a battery replacement but it didn't happen. What was done there I had already done with the exception of syncing all my shit back to it. During the visit, I had to go the bathroom 3 times because I was feeling sick. I leave the store and I just want to get home. The drive was agonizing. I had to pull over twice to hurl, but never did. My whole body was tingly like when your arm is half asleep. I'm never buying any pre-made shit from Starbucks ever again.

It was an awful day.  :yuck

Online is important. Is UC2 online junk or something?
I hadn't planned on getting BC2 on the PS3.
I don't know if UC2 online is bad but I doubt a lot of people still play it.  BC2 is mp-centric and UC2 is the other way around tho.   I'm pretty sure BC2 is a decent port on the PS3 also.

It did indeed have a single player campaign at one point but it looked like the online stuff with A.I. bots (no real overall storyline or anything). The game is really fun and for $15 (including the booster packs) it's a great buy.

It was a launch title, wasn't it?  Are there still people playing it?

LTTP: Late to the Protest

The protest started at 4:30 am, but I showed up at 2pm, well after the action had dwindled down. By the time I got there it was a mellow hippie vibe. I found a classmate and talked to her about how it went earlier in the day. She said she had been there since the start at 4:30am. She informed me that the action was heaviest around 9pm. I asked if there were any confrontations and she said told me that cars were trying to drive through the students gathered across the entrance. A couple students actually got hit by cars. She mentioned one foot injury. A couple cars got dented from this, one car got its back window smashed. I'll trust her word on this. She told me there was an assembly at 5pm and that I should check that out.

Some initial shots walking up to the picket lines. By now the police had decided to shut off the roads. The TV stations had set up by now as well.

I asked about this slug, assuming that he was strung up along the picket line. Classmate said she wasn't around when he had been dropped and left to the ground. The slug's day only gets worse.

For some reason, even though the admin staff and faculty knew this was coming and had been prepared to just not have campus in session, the Campus decided that the Arboretum aka Flower Shop was important to keep open and ordered the employees to show up. So an announcement was made for some people to go help create another line at there, so I followed them, then proceeded the rest of the way from there to the other campus entrance. The arboretum is about halfway between the front and side entrance.

(http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs495.snc3/27050_506806280917_192600143_30195692_67697_n.jpg)

These are assembly photos. The threads of the rope of people that had been strung along to shut down the campus were beginning to unwind in different directions. The slug was doing no better.

You'll notice some children in these photos. There are two factors for this: One, the students with family who were protesting the cost of Family Housing. These were mostly gathered at the side entrance. Two, neighbors were taking their kids out on a walk to the protest, like a fun little outing.

Co-sign this powerful post. Also use less of the flavoring packet and add some minced garlic and some chives. I know people who also add steamed vegetables.
Fry the noodles in some olive oil after you boil it and then add the packet.  or as I prefer, make your own chicken or beef bullion.  But only put a little in there.  Just enough to flavor the noodles.  Don't make it float.  Especially if you're using the packet.

Things to add?  Spam.  Egg.  Real pieces of beef or chicken.

I do it all the time but it can cause permanent damage. Most of contacts restrict the flow of oxygen to the cornea, so leaving them in for too long can lead to hypoxia. At first it'll just be some superficial lesions (which I've had in the past) that will heal if you give your eyes some rest, but eventually you might permanently impair your vision.

Well, Lasik as we know it has been around for about 20 years.  There could be longer term damage but 10-20 years seems to be fine for many.

Anyway, the first week of my job was fantastic plus I got some of dat overtime :drool  I'll be posting a lot less often due to doin' thangs :bow2  Not to mention that my old workout partner lives in the same town as I do and we intend to really start hitting the iron.  Also getting paper work prepared for my second degree as well as chilling with friends.

A coworker just had lasik surgery this week. Went all Hollywood and wore sunglasses at work Thursday and Friday.

As for me, I'm not into the whole "stare at a laser as it burns your eyeball" thing. I'll stick with contacts.

And, yeah, I sleep in them everynight and never take them out and wear them for much longer than I should. I once wore a single pair for a year (although I did take them out from time to time).

I'm sure it's a little different if you're really, really, extremely good-looking, but in my experience, there's always one or two girls in the group who are either fat or PMSing who really don't want any of their friends to get laid that night. If one of the girls gets really drunk, you can bet that the fat/PMSing friends are going to be keeping a close eye on her to prevent her from making any "bad decisions."

If the entire group gets wasted, then you're in, but it can be a challenge getting to that point, especially if you find yourself having to buy drinks for the fat friends. Having a good wingman who will take one for the team is crucial.

But are you reeeaalllyyy muslim if you want to not be a proper muslim when you're young and 'having fun' but once you're old and boring and settled down, that's when you'll turn to religion? Is religion really supposed to be about convenience? Isn't it supposed to be about making sacrifices or whatnot?

Just playing devil's advocate. Because I remember when I was young and I knew in my head that I didn't buy this religion bullshit but I felt like I still had to hold onto it and justified it by thinking I'd be a good muslim when I was older. But then realised that wasn't what it was meant to be about and that I was just in denial and didn't actually believe in religion or god. Before I became an atheist, I kind of adjusted religion so much that it basically became my own personal belief, that was completely in conflict with Islam yet I still considered myself a 'muslim'. Kind of like you saying "I don't think god even cares if I kneel before him or not." But Islam says exactly the opposite.

Post by: elektrikluv on March 09, 2010, 11:46:35 AM
I'm not saying you have to be 'exactly' anything to be a muslim, but your general attitude to the faith just doesn't strike me as such. Just my observation. Obviously its your faith and you know what you believe. I've just always been annoyed by people who are like yeeeaah gonna have fun now and not follow the religion, but I'm still *insert religion*! I'll just be a good *whatever* when I'm old and my life isn't as opportunistic for fun, then I'll be a good *whatever*! I find it rather hypocritical. And of course the whole picking and choosing. You choose to believe that god doesn't care if you kneel in your prayer to him, but why do you choose to believe he cares about other things? I dunno, its just too messy for me.

I don't want to seem like I was having a go, because I'm not! You just reminded me of myself lol.

I didn't really have a particular breaking point, I mean I remember when I was 12 and would still say my prayers before bed and eventually I just got fed up and realised I was just saying it out of habit and ritual, not because I genuinely believed anything was going to change or that anyone was listening to me. And my hatred for religion and its hypocrisies just kept on increasing. So yeah, there was no 'breaking point' as I've never had religion forced upon me, my house is incredibly liberal, no one prays or wears a headscarf etc, always wine in the fridge, allowed boyfriend's round etc.

So my mom was asking me about why I'm slipping away from god and whatever, and I got a looooooooooooong lecture about why I should do this and that.

Look I believe in god and all, and I'm still a muslim. But I'm also fucking bored of praying 5 times a day everyday, knowing myself I'll start doing that again when I hit my thirty's but now I'm young and I want to have fun. I don't think god even cares if I kneel before him or not.
It's kind of bs for a muslim to slack off on something as easy (and habitual) as that though.  I left Islam but I was extremely devout until the moment I gave up on religion.

No I can understand if he was too lazy to wake up for the morning prayer or something but not spending 10 minutesish a day on the prayers suggests a different issue entirely than just "boredom", to me.  You have to understand that not putting on the appearance of being a good muslim, either out of habit or fear of not being "saved", would usually carry pretty serious social consequences with your friends/family in a muslim country.  That's why I think that he has a different problem with the religion than just time/effort.

5.  Use vectors to prove that the line joining the midpoints of two sides of any triangle in R3 is parallel to the other side and half as long as the other side.

6.  Let P =(x0,y0,z0) be any point in R3, and let a,b,c be any non-zero real numbers.  Prove that the line though P in any direction d = (a,b,c) consists of all points (x,y,z) in R3 satisfying the equations

(x-x0)/a = (y-y0)/b = (z-z0)/c

6.  Let P =(x0,y0,z0) be any point in R3, and let a,b,c be any non-zero real numbers.  Prove that the line though P in any direction d = (a,b,c) consists of all points (x,y,z) in R3 satisfying the equations

(x-x0)/a = (y-y0)/b = (z-z0)/c



Well so far I have the proof of the one line being half as long as the other. Do you even need that or did you already have it figured out? I think the angles is the harder part of the question and I'm just trying to remember where I put my old notes so I can look up some formulas.

I do need that.  Thanks dude.

Edit: I think you can find they're parallel by using cosθ = (v dot w)/(||v|| ||w||) (with v and w being being the lines d1 and d2 from the previous work). I haven't actually tried working it out though so I'm not 100% sure this will get a solution.

Regarding number 6, I think that (x-x0)/a = (y-y0)/b = (z-z0)/c is just a formula for a line in R3. Use the line = (x0, y0, z0) + (some variable)(a, b, c). This stuff is a bit hazy for me and it is getting late, so I think I'm heading to bed too.

So I'm sitting in the library, and there's a chick to my right with a little girl. The girl keeps looking at me and saying "dadoo! hi dadoo!" while her mom (who has to be 21 or so) smiles at me with a sort of embarrassed look on her face  :-\

Then the girl walked up to me and gave me some animal crackers. Haven't had these in ages, so awesome

You should turn your chair and hit on her smugly while eating the animal cracker.  But do it to where you grip on the cracker with your teeth, but not bite and snap the cracker in half and then eat.  You'll look mysterious!

Oh and then when you leave mess up the kids hair a bit and say "take it easy, scamp" and sling your coat over your shoulder and walk away.

So my mom was asking me about why I'm slipping away from god and whatever, and I got a looooooooooooong lecture about why I should do this and that.

Look I believe in god and all, and I'm still a muslim. But I'm also fucking bored of praying 5 times a day everyday, knowing myself I'll start doing that again when I hit my thirty's but now I'm young and I want to have fun. I don't think god even cares if I kneel before him or not.

Fucking ridiculous first night / day back in Tokyo. Went to 50 yen beer my first night back, got a little sloppy. It was snowing, so some trains were delayed / cancelled, one of which "happened" to be this girl and her friend's line. So said girl asks if she can stay at my apartment. I've known this girl for a little bit, she works at the Chipotle rip-off I frequent. Being drunk and also a nice guy, I say sure. We get to Shinjuku Station (my stop), and her friend fucking disappears. So I'm drunk and not connecting the dots, so I say "that's weird," and since the weather is miserable we hop in a cab. Bam. At my apartment, this girl is all over me, I just want to sleep since I had been up for 35 HOURS AND AM FUCKING TIRED FROM FLYING ALL DAY, she sleeps in my bed, wakes up and goes to work in the morning. I text her that I'm seeing someone and that I don't want that noise to happen again, and she declares that she is crying and unable to work. I reply "Are you serious?" No reply, I'm assuming everything is cool. SMH at Japanese melodramatic phantomness.  >:(

ASIDE FROM THAT

Being on break is the best. The biggest quandary of any given day is deciding what to eat. The lady is back in town tonight, getting boy band drunk tonight on 50 yen beers (which will no longer be 50 yen in May  :'( :'( :'(), house party tomorrow night.

Also, cannot stop playing Bayonetta.

OMG too-much-make-up girl is a year younger than me!  I thought she was older.  She speaks so elegantly. 

She even invited a bunch of us from my Kant class to a philo movie night and I totally felt like she was looking more at me than the other two people she was also talking too.  I should go to this movie night, join the philosophy club, and find a way to woo her. 

I'm not going to do any of that though.

I remember going to my friend's birthday party years ago. He was about 3 years older than me, and most of the invitees were kids from his neighborhood and basketball team. I didn't know any of them and was pretty shy. I tried walking around, trying to talk to him for the entire event, but obviously he wanted to hang out with other people as well. It was a disaster :(

Ok, I guess you should stay home Arvie. :(

So Arvie, what you're saying is that even though this girl invited you guys over to her house to watch a movie, no one there is actually going to watch this movie, and anyone who does will be seen as a big weirdo?

I doubt that's the case. Furthermore, it's doubtful she has that much seating at her apartment, so you'll be sitting next to others by necessity. Just make some small talk.

I went to a small philo department thing today that had 3 profs and 6 other students including too-much-make-up girl.  She made a great joke about first year psychology classes.  She also mentioned her boyfriend and that the philo movie night usually has like 12 people.  Definitely not going.

Yesterday after work, all of the teachers went out to an awesome restaurant. We all got pretty buzzed on soju and makkoli (Korean rice wine). It's amazing how much better the real rice wine is than the crappy store-brand stuff you can find in convenience stores. Anyway, I got home at around 9 and thought I would take a powernap before heading downtown at 11 on the last subway, but I forgot to set an alarm, and I slept straight through to 5am. I was pretty tired from the week. Kinda sucks though, because there were some big parties last night that I missed. I'll have to make up for it tonight.

Also, FM, you really need to be more comfortable around strangers. You're going to miss out on a lot of opportunities in life if you don't improve in this area.

Lucas made a good first movie which can be enjoyed by kids or adults, and then went on to target slightly more adult themes in Empire. Then he rolled back and smoked a marketing fattie for Return of the Jedi. RotJ is actually really close to the Prequel Trilogy in its overall tone: an overabundance of characters just to feed the Kenner sales, convoluted and nonsensical conspiracy baddies, which get much more exposition than you'd ever expect because when all else fails: ACTION SEQUENCE!

Arguably it's a hard "g" like "gimp." Arguably in that only about 1 in 5 people who use the term pronounce it with the soft "g" and of those half of them are not technically inclined.

And wtf is so good about these french fries?  It tastes like they substituted salt for lard..

It just grew stranger by the moment.  The doctor couldn't decide whether to laugh at the situation or be pissed about some teenager wasting his time.  He jokingly said (while at the nursing station) that good parents would go ahead and buy their kid a dildo.  Apparently they were listening in and got upset and shouted "she's got multiple personality disease!"  The doctor calmly replied, "First of all, it's a disorder, not a disease.  Second, she's probably faking it anyway..."    :D

I personally love this doctor.  He walks in, sits down, slams the chart on his desk, and says, "Jesus Titty-Fucking Christ, could the imbreds in this town get any worse?!?!"  :lol

I don't get it.

Went out of town for a college buddy's stag and doe party.

Met one of the bride's friends.  Shy, but really cute.  I chat with her for much of the evening, she seems to dig me.  Repeatedly casting glances at me, laughing at my lame jokes, following me to my group, and mild flirting back and forth.  Can't get her on to the dance floor though, she just doesn't dance.

Anyway, close to the end of the night, I tell her that since she doesn't dance, she should give me her number and we can find something she would like to do.

aaaand she say that I seem like a good guy, but she's had some bad experiences.  Her last boyfriend is in prison.  So she's taking a "break."  But I seem like a good guy.

What. The. Fuck.

Okay, you've had some bad experiences.  Maybe you've been hurt.  And you've picked poorly in choice of partners in the past. 

But I'm a fucking Mountie.  I'm not going to end up in fucking prison!  And I'm good friends with your lifelong friend to boot!  If I'm not someone worth taking a chance on, then who the fuck is?!

Argh.  Where are all the forward/assured/sexually confident women that some of you meet, who if you actually put a straightforward and confident effort toward will actually meet you halfway and indicate and reciprocate her own interest?

I swear, my non-dating/sex life is certifiably farcical at this point.

That...is amazing.

I don't get it.

Went out of town for a college buddy's stag and doe party.

Met one of the bride's friends.  Shy, but really cute.  I chat with her for much of the evening, she seems to dig me.  Repeatedly casting glances at me, laughing at my lame jokes, following me to my group, and mild flirting back and forth.  Can't get her on to the dance floor though, she just doesn't dance.

Anyway, close to the end of the night, I tell her that since she doesn't dance, she should give me her number and we can find something she would like to do.

aaaand she say that I seem like a good guy, but she's had some bad experiences.  Her last boyfriend is in prison.  So she's taking a "break."  But I seem like a good guy.

What. The. Fuck.

Okay, you've had some bad experiences.  Maybe you've been hurt.  And you've picked poorly in choice of partners in the past. 

But I'm a fucking Mountie.  I'm not going to end up in fucking prison!  And I'm good friends with your lifelong friend to boot!  If I'm not someone worth taking a chance on, then who the fuck is?!

Argh.  Where are all the forward/assured/sexually confident women that some of you meet, who if you actually put a straightforward and confident effort toward will actually meet you halfway and indicate and reciprocate her own interest?

I swear, my non-dating/sex life is certifiably farcical at this point.

Other failing prospect:

Another friend of a friend.   Asked her out in January, went on one date.  Went quite well, made out a bit.

Then, unfortunately, the Olympics hit, automatic six week hiatus.  I get back though, and fire off a text asking her out for the next day.  Late notice, I know.  She fires back saying she's working late, when else am I free?

I offer last thursday.  She said she's busy.
I offer Sunday, she said she's busy.

Is she offering when she's free?  No.  Is she throwing out alternate options for days?  No.

And so I am at the point where I am wary of continuing to making any more inquiries for concern of coming across as "desperate"
ie.  Are you free Wednesday? No
How 'bout Thursday?  No
What about Saturday? No

Yeah.  One of the golden rules I've gotten from people at times is:  If she is interested in you, she will make the time.

the first story just reminds me of a guy I used to know. he was better looking than I was IMO, but he got way less action than most of us. he'd always bitch about how unfair it all was. the thing was, when you went out with him, he'd have great initial contact game. never had trouble meeting girls, had well off parents, so would always have extra cash to be generous with drinks...he just talked too much. like, he'd be totally in there, but over the course of the night would just self destruct. he was oblivious to this process.

not saying it's parallel to your situation, but the guy was not as charming as he thought he was, and would have done well to be more quiet.

his eventual solution is at odds with your career path tho. coke and all that.

Ah, I see.  Thanks for the clarification.

But still, I don't think that's analogous for me.  I don't think I talk too much, I don't try to dominate the conversation.  And I sure don't think I'm more charming than I actually am.

My change is that I know that I have gone from a person five years ago who was not very outgoing or sociable, who was quite shy and reserved, to someone who is willing and able to "put myself out there", to converse with anyone and everyone I might meet, to be a little more forward and outgoing.

I mean, obviously I'm missing something, but I'll be damned if I can figure out what it is.

You mean, other than sheer force of effort?

First, I had the fortune to have made a great group of dorm friends in 1st and 2nd year.  In spite of never getting laid until 4th year, I made many lifelong friends in the first few years of university.  And then you meet their friends.

And from there, you simply force yourself to ask questions of everyone you meet, through friends, or random people you sit beside in class.  Or the random people you meet in a hot tub in Whistler.  Or on a chairlift going up a ski hill.  For the latter, I mean, you're stuck with this stranger for the next 5-10 minutes, my philosophy is, you might as well fuckin' talk to them.

Yes, being a Mountie is an advantage, because it's an instant conversation-starter if someone asks what you do.  Strangely, and unfortunately, however, I find that men have much better and more interesting questions for me when finding out my career than do women.  Random guys, young and old, will ask insightful, penetrating questions about what I do and my opinions on various police-related topics.

Women just ask if I ride a horse.  :-\

3:50am here, and I'm not tired. Despite working all day on a damn water heater. The old one at my place had rusted to shit, and it was only a matter of time before it ruptured. So me and my dad got rid of it and added a new one...only problem is we didn't have enough tubing for hot water to pump into the tube. For some reason we tried making a tube out of duct tape, which looked pretty solid until we turned the pilot light on, and the shit started melting and we began to smell gas.  :lol

By that time the hardware places were closed, so we called it a day. No hot water for my shower tomorrow. We'll get it done tomorrow afternoon

There is, however, a fresh bottle of Absolut in my freezer, and every episode of Entourage ever (lady had not seen it before, we're about 10 episodes in now).

I was a virgin until 19 and I finally got laid by putting myself out there, always talking to girls, and always making moves if I could tell they were interested.  I was willing to get rejected numerous times (and did!) before having sex with a girl who wasn't a hambeast.

I always had a lot of male friends but when it came to women, I was FM levels of awkwardness.

Deciding whether to make an escalation move, like holding her hand or going in for the kiss, can be kinda nerve-wracking. I still get nervous doing it sometimes unless the signals are painfully obvious. But looking back over the years, my success rate has been really high, and nothing really bad happened in the instances where I was rejected. If she rejects your kiss attempt, you weren't getting anywhere with her anyway. I think you should really just go for it when in doubt.

You know, I've always been a more quiet and reserved person, especially in large groups of people or places I don't want to be at... but I have always found the most success with dating fellow introverted women. It's certainly easier for me to just find introvert girls than make myself into something I totally am not (a social butterfly - I mean I can stand to be social, but if the activity goes on for a long while I will become completely worn down). Boogie, perhaps this is something you could try? Also have you ever gone the online dating route? I don't really recommend it for long term relationships, but it's a great way to practice meeting girls and getting comfortable talking and dating someone you barely know.

Those are the best, especially if they're really drunk and start crying midway through.

How does one actually go about this, without martial arts training and joining the police?

You mean, other than sheer force of effort?

First, I had the fortune to have made a great group of dorm friends in 1st and 2nd year.  In spite of never getting laid until 4th year, I made many lifelong friends in the first few years of university.  And then you meet their friends.

And from there, you simply force yourself to ask questions of everyone you meet, through friends, or random people you sit beside in class.  Or the random people you meet in a hot tub in Whistler.  Or on a chairlift going up a ski hill.  For the latter, I mean, you're stuck with this stranger for the next 5-10 minutes, my philosophy is, you might as well fuckin' talk to them.

Yes, being a Mountie is an advantage, because it's an instant conversation-starter if someone asks what you do.  Strangely, and unfortunately, however, I find that men have much better and more interesting questions for me when finding out my career than do women.  Random guys, young and old, will ask insightful, penetrating questions about what I do and my opinions on various police-related topics.

Women just ask if I ride a horse.  :-\

If she's not that attractive, you could say "I'm working on that at this very moment."

Drinking with 4 koreans in Shinokubo (Koreatown) tonight... I am going to be the only foreigner in the whole area as I silently booze up on soju while everyone I'm with including my half Korean girlfriend speaks the bubble language. Should be fun though, never had soju before, and Koreatown is within walking distance of my apartment, so if it gets too rowdy I can just stagger home.

The sad thing is, in Japan even if those Koreans are 4th or 5th generation, they're still "foreigners."

As far as I can tell, I am nominated for the office job, but it is contingent on how I perform during training (aka if I do poor during the training exams I'd be downgraded to the road work).

you guys spend too much time worrying about that kind of shit. getting laid is not the most important thing in life.

You mean that there's more to life than dating and sex?

Holy shit!  thank you, fistful!  Truly, you are a mature and insightful individual.

This is the gawdamned flogging the log thread.  We talk about random shit.  Currently, we're discussing dating (or the lack thereof).  I'm sure if I were to brag about the awesome shit that's going on in my life, you'd bitch about that, too.

So, here goes:  I got to be in Whistler during the 2010 Olympic Winter Games for free.  No, scratch that.  I got free accommodations and got paid obscene amounts of money to be in Whistler during the 2010 Olympic Winter Games.  Yeah, it was pretty fucking awesome. :rock

Happy?  Okay.  Now back to bitching about women.

You know, I've always been a more quiet and reserved person, especially in large groups of people or places I don't want to be at... but I have always found the most success with dating fellow introverted women. It's certainly easier for me to just find introvert girls than make myself into something I totally am not (a social butterfly - I mean I can stand to be social, but if the activity goes on for a long while I will become completely worn down). Boogie, perhaps this is something you could try?

I thought that was what I was trying.  Both of the women I've mentioned on the past couple of pages are rather quiet and reserved.  The stag and doe chick was quite shy, didn't know almost anyone apart from the bride, and made a comment about feeling awkward.  I actually think I helped her enjoy herself more at the party than she otherwise would have, inviting her into the group I was with, such as it was.

Also have you ever gone the online dating route? I don't really recommend it for long term relationships, but it's a great way to practice meeting girls and getting comfortable talking and dating someone you barely know.

Oh, I've had profiles on various dating sites for years.  Lavalife, okcupid, POF.  It's all a waste of time.  too hard to get a girl's interest/attention.  I get probably one response back for every 20-30 women I message.  And of them, probably one out of every 2 will respond to a follow up message.  And then, say, perhaps one of every 2 of them will actually be willing to meet.  And of them, one out of every 3 will be fatties who are quite skilled at strategic photography, deceptively masking what they actually look like.

It's just a pain in the ass.

And Kosma, buddy, I appreciate the effort at advice, but...well...


Boogie maybe you just try too hard and care too much. Just let it go.

What the fuck does that even mean?  "you try too hard" is something that I hear from the people who are naturals, who don't have to "do" anything to attract women.  Well, newsflash, dude, some of us don't have that natural ability like you.  So we have to "try".

I mean, "let it go" means to me, "give up".  I'm sure that's not what you mean, but stop speaking in trite phrases and speak plainly instead.

Though perhaps you are referring to the exclamatory hysterics in how I described my story.  In which case I say:  dude, it's called venting.  In a way, it's what this thread is for.

Quote
Also don't about your job for more then a minute or two. While you're job is fucking cool nobody really fucking cares and there is nothing worse then a 20 minute monologue from the soldier/police guy about all the shit they go through and I swear to god every time they drop some acronym the other person loses interest. All army guys seem to suffer from this. Unless she keeps asking you more and more just spout some short story like "I'm a mountie, its pretty cool yeah, something I always wanted to do, catch the bad guys and chase nukkas/polacks/spics down alleys etc." Thats basicly it. And maybe while talking about other stuff you can throw in one or two "yeah thats reminds me while on the job I had this funny shit happen". Dont do it all the time, once or twice is enough.

Where the fuck did this come from?  You are imagining some pretty out there shit, dude.  Where from my posts have you gotten this?

I never talk shop or "brag" about being a Mountie unless someone else brings it up and asks questions.  Which does, however, happen, as my friends love to hear my "war stories".

Nonetheless, on the night in question, other than when the chick asked me where I work, I don't think I mentioned anything at all about being a cop.

So, in relation to the above, you may be the Bore's resident sexpert (along with Mupepe :-*), but that doesn't give you the authority to keep your head lodged firmly up your ass


As for the rest of it, you give great advice if you have a time travel machine and are talking to 2006 Boogie.

But you're talking to 2010 Boogie, who is not a complete moron in the area of attraction theory, and game, and whatnot.  Still.


Quote
If you're not kissing by the end of the night dont ask them out. If you kiss them dont ask them out either. Better to meet them again the next time and let the sexual tension build up.

"meet them again the next time".  Hello?  This was an out of town stag and doe.    There is no "next time" if I don't ask her out.  Hell, that's the best incentive for going for it, because I'll never see her again if she turns me down.




Quote
Building up tension is important. Be nonchalant about it. Dont worry if this way it will seem youre missing shots. Really stop caring and women will notice that maybe you dont really care that much one day which will make you all the more interesting. Be flirtatious and fun but dont let shine through that you want to stick your wiener in her vagina just yet.


I'm really not sure how to respond to this.  Obviously, in Biff's words, you can't seem "desparate".  

But this clearly doesn't work.  If "not caring" and just going out with friends and meeting people made women attracted to me, then......women would be attracted to me.  I'm "flirtatious and fun" with dozens upon dozens of women who I don't chase, and yet......they don't chase me.  They don't go after me either.  They don't crush on me.  

I know the theory.  The point of my frustration these past 8 months is that even trying to put it into practice has not helped.

Quote
And definately not that you want anything serious.

Hey, after going through one 2 and a half year serious relationship, I am completely willing to try something that is "not serious".

Learn to read signs, her touching you while talking is a green light. Make some fun of her, but also of yourself. Dont make too much fun of yourself because you will seem inconfident, dont make too much fun of her or you will be an asshole.

See, here's the problem.  Women don't give me signs.  Women never touch me while talking to me.  I know that is an IOI, but it never happens.  Even with the chick I made out with in January.  She never touched me until I lept in for the kiss.

And I think, for the most part, I strike a pretty good balance of teasing women and being slightly self-deprecating.

I was the only white dude in the whole area from what I could tell, and certainly the only non-Korean (glaringly white) in this K-pop den / bar thing we went to... Was still a pretty good time, everybody got way too drunk except for me and this other girl who wanted to keep drinking, but we had to take care of everyone else. Fail.  :-\

I'm pretty awesome.

In all seriousness, from what I can tell, Boogie seems to be focusing on one girl at a time. Two tops. The kind of things he's experiencing happen to every single guy out there, with the possible exception of A-list actors. A girl showed interest, but after a brief period away from him her interest appeared to wane? Fuck, that's happened to me like twice this year. Happened to a friend of mine recently, and he's a really good-looking, charismatic guy. You can't be a dude sitting by some creek with a single fishing pole; you have to be a dude out there in a big-ass boat with a dozen fishing lines going at once.

You know, there is a middle ground between obsessing over one girl and being a manslut.

There are actually quite a few female foreign teachers over here who are into the Korean guys. A lot more than I expected, anyway. One thing that's kinda funny is that a lot of chubbier white girls are able to get with pretty decent-looking Korean men. But it's not just them; a lot of the hotter foreigners I know have or have had Korean boyfriends.

I don't specifically go for white guys.  It's never been about race.   My first boyfriend was Chinese Indonesian.  :P

It's the individual that counts.  Philosophies, life goals, hobbies...etc etc.  All that good stuff and more.  I can give a speech about what should be done and how it's the right way to do things but that would be irrelevant to anyone else because relationships work differently for everyone.  I cannot say any two the relationships I've come across worked the same.  The equation changes with the individuals involved.

I'm pretty sure I started a bike trip from that very bus stop next to the Payless Shoes and Bart station.

that video's really stupid though.  no asian girl tries to date a white dude to "upgrade".  those that do refuse to date within their race only do it to piss off their parents.  they're crazy like that.

Speaking of Asian girls dating white girls, one such chick totally dodged me for a week after I said we should reschedule our date since it sounded like her personal schedule was so hectic (it didn't sound like it'd be very enjoyable). I got literally no response back from her whatsoever, via text, phone or e-mail. Then she randomly texted me yesterday asking if I wanted to go out on Friday. :lol

I am thinking about bailing out entirely. I dunno, something seems fishy.

I'm in the same boat, GS. I found a picture of me when I was 6-years-old this weekend, and that though crossed my mind. My father was married and had a kid (me!) by the time I was his age. He was actually working on his second marriage!

I feel like I'm still growing up. I don't know if I'd want a real relationship considering how much I travel nowadays (I was just in Delaware, when you blink I'll be in Illinois, Los Angeles after that, etc.). Women tend to not be very good about that type of stuff.

Check out my father's mullet :lol

That dudebro is my youngest uncle, and my favorite by far - we're still pretty tight. He's awesome. He is basically like circa-"Risky Business" Tom Cruise, but real.

It was definitely a picture of happier times. Most of the family is estranged now. My father divorced my stepmom a few years ago too.

I don't agree with that video at all. The only time I see an Asian chick with a white guy is on the internet. In real life I only see them with black dudes or Asian dudes.

No way.  I have seen tons of white guys with Asian girls and a smaller amount of black guys with Asian girls.  What's rare is an Asian guy with a white or black girl.

Skinny white dudes love black chicks but blacks chicks are more hesitant/cautious/not willing to date outside the race, at least that's my experience.

Definitely true. I went to an (all girls) secondary school that was 80% black, and I didn't know a single black girl that was willing to date a white guy.

I've never heard of skinny white dudes loving black chicks though...

Some black guys go for outside the race, so black women get mad and think that, hey - we're just self-hating black men! - when that's not the case at all. So they'll bitch about how there aren't any good black guys, but aren't willing to date outside the race. So it's like, whatever, and they end up being rejected and lonely and single or with someone they're not really into.

I brought this up with my female family members and they scoff at the idea of dating outside the race. My aunt said,"No no no no, we don't want that!"

I think there's more pressure for black women to keep it within the race, and I don't know why. I think it's really refreshing to see a black woman willing to date outside the race.

I'm attracted to a good-looking woman regardless of race, and ended up marrying an Asian, but white girls are easily the last on my list.  If not an Asian, I think I would have ended up with a black woman.  Race doesn't matter to me at all.  There are much more important factors to look at.

Yep. I think it has a lot to do with competing with men or something, like they have to 1up the guys just to compete, which makes them really bitchy. Because they have "negative" of being both female AND black and they want to make up for that as much as possible, which breeds the attitude of the typical "ghetto queen".

At least, that's my theory. It could have very well persisted before the whole civil rights movement, but I wouldn't know.

The ones I've known have just been complete idiots. Always completely sex-obsessed, interested in nothing else and let you know about it and act like they're all open-minded but in reality they're judgemental gossipy asses with no brain cells to put together. They're a lot less sensitive and caring too and I've never felt on the level with any of them.

My mum is always going on about how I need to find a nice Arab guy, one who was born in a western country so that we see eye-to-eye and share the same values, but even the ones I've met here in the UK have been just like their Arab country counterparts in a more hypocritical/facadey way.

I've never had a black boyfriend before so I couldn't really say. Its odd because about 90% of men I get hit on/approached by are black.

Something along the lines of hey can I talk to you for a minute, you look really good/sexy/beautiful, I want to get to know you better, attempted exchange of phone numbers etc. Oh and they always ask where I'm from.

And the thing about oggling asses, its much harder to do without being BLATANTLY OBVIOUS, unlike breasts. So I've had guys walking alongside me and talking whilst trying to take subtle glances, but there is very little subtlety that can be attributed to a glance that deviates from the face all the way down to below the waist.

All that attention must get annoying, or do you like it?

I'm sure when you get all that attention, you go for the guys who don't say the typical "you look sexy/beautiful" thing because hey, you've heard that time and time again, right?  It sounds like ass kissing (lol) by that point, right?

I hate the attention because its always at inappropriate moments, i.e. on the streets, on the bus etc. Like its not so bad when at a bar or a club because there is a degree of expecting that kind of thing in that scenario. But when I'm walking home or I'm going to buy a pint of milk, or minding my own business on the bus, the last thing I want is to be harassed. And its always incessant and most guys who approach girls in that manner are incapable of taking no for an answer so its really really annoying.

And yes, you're right, I have never gone for guys who just use the same cliché lines and comments about appearance, particularly ones who approach me randomly on the streets.

I tried pursuing this Persian women a few years ago, but she was mostly just leading me on as it turned out. She was pretty hot. I admit that the whole sleeping with the enemy vibe was a turn on. The thing was that she was obsessed with thinking people looked at her as an Arab or Muslim when her skin was white as could be. If she hadn't told me she was Persian, I wouldn't have ever guessed it. The racial identity was mostly in her head.

I don't dislike being hit on at a club! I've just met nicer guys elsewhere. Yeah school, work, library etc are all fine/ideal.

Think many women would kill to be approached in the wild once.

That's really not true at all. Or they obviously don't have to deal with street harassment on a constant and frequent basis. Its awfully annoying and it can be really intimidating when at night or the guy is in a group. I know very few women that enjoy being approached on the streets when they're just minding their own business, and those who do are usually immature giggly air-head teenagers.

Isn't that your problem right there?

I mean, that's pussyfooting, isn't it? But you also gotta remember that just because a girl smiles doesn't mean she's into you either, that doesn't mean you can't strike up a convo, though.

If a girl is looking at you and smiling that usually means she wants you to strike up a conversation with her! When I don't want a guy to come up to me and he's been staring at me for a while, I make sure to avoid eye contact completely/look down etc. So eye contact and smile is a definite (positive) sign!

but what if i actually approach her... what do i say?

i noticed you noticed me, so i just wanna put you on notice that i noticed you too?

Well it depends on where you are. Ask her about whatever it is she's doing. If she's reading a book or something, ask her about it. If she goes to the same school as you, ask her what she's studying and let it go from there. It really does depend on the context.

I feel so tempted to make a Boogie date help thread titled "Women NEVER touch me": Boogie's Dilemma.

That came out sounding way pathetic, didn't it?  :lol


Also, I love how a fucking dating discussion can provoke another round of ichi and GS hate-on.  

And by "love", I mean "it's fucking annoying".  Can you two knock it off?


No offense, but women can probably tell that you're kind of a huge prick. And not the good kind.

A)  I'm not a huge prick.
B)  Women fall for assholes, so if I were a huge prick, I'd be swimming in tail, wouldn't I? :smug


Yup I just scrolled back a page where he attacked Kosma with bolded fucks.

Seems like a guy I wouldn't want to drink with.

Nice cover and that's all.

*shrug*, I like to play with emphasis.

I was actually going for a tone of exasperated hysterics, which I thought would be entertaining, not anger.  Clearly I failed.  My bad.

Yo Boogie I just let  my thoughts flow when typing that up, as you said to fistful, this is the flogging a log thread. I'm not some expert myself as you guys jokingly make me out to be. It was just my 2 cents.

It was all well ment, so don't vent on me.

And that thing about your job (which you know I think is crazy cool as I would have never applied for it myself): its just something I noticed with army/police people. Doesnt mean it has to apply to you. But I have seen how these guys can talk endlessy about this stuff boring everyone to tears.

My bad, I know you meant well.  But the paragraph about the job did make me go "....whaaaa?"

I'm a sucker for cute and smart, to the point where I overlook character flaws and all sorts of baggage. I'm a repeat offender in that category, so maybe I am the one who is stupid. Like the chick that finally got back to me a week later, the only reason I'd entertain the thought of meeting up with her on Friday is because she's cute and educated on a wide variety of topics that I find many women in the area to be totally clueless about.

... and just as a side note - as someone who has drank with Boogie - not only is he a great guy to hang out with, he is just a great guy period. The dude is rugged and cut, has a stable job, very well educated and has a great demeanor. I have no doubt that he is going to finally find some incredibly gorgeous broad and lock that shit down, thus doing a disservice to the rest our of sex by removing a perfectly viable candidate from our mating pool.

That and tech house producers named "Guy".

Boogie strikes me as a decent, quality catch who is just cursed with shite luck. It totally happens, nothing you really can do except roll with the punches. And intelligence is vastly underrated in women, lots of guys I know could care less about it instead concentrating almost exclusively on looks and swagger. That's the uber-materialistic LI for ya, tho. I knew I would get along with my g/f the first time I talked to her on the phone, and she told me she was a hardcore reader (and not of the "Twilight" and Dan Brown variety). And I remember being instantly turned off on a date with a girl with no degree who, when mentioning to her about voting in the NYS primaries, looked at me like I was speaking Tagalog.

Depends.  If you're taking a fluff major like Sociology, you won't be doing much better than you would if you were just a high school graduate.  At any rate, people saying you're going to die in the military is dumb.  I've had friends and family who turned their lives around thanks to enlisting in the service.  Better than being some dumbass data entry monkey in a cube farm anyway.

As for Boogie, I haven't met him so it would be next to impossible to figure out why he isn't fending off ladies with a stick.  On a superficial level, he seems good: well paying job, intelligent, physically fit (aka :drool), and seems to have a good head on his shoulders.  I just don't know the whole story, not like I'm implying he has something he's holding back from us, but we don't know unless we're out there in his native Canadian environment with him.

Everything has to be about him and what not. There's this girl with him who I swear is the nicest girl you'd ever meet, just an overall good person. He cheats on her, calls her bitch around people, and totally demeans her. He also sleeps around with other chicks and she knows it, but she's convinced he loves her. And anytime I talk to him its all about how that "bitch" annoys him and how he finds it funny that she's sticking with him even though he'll keep fucking other chicks.

That asshole is a friend of mine actually, I tell him all the time to stop being such an asshole to the poor girl but he never listens.

Mandark answered perfectly for me.

As for you saying you know girls who went for assholes from the very beginning…Well I honestly don't personally know any girls who do, except in secondary school when we were like 14. I really think that whole 'girls are into assholes' is a dumb stereotype probably stemming from middle school bad-boy complex that most normal girls grow out of by the age of 16.

And that chick you described might be nice, but she is just fucking distinguished mentally-challenged or highly delusional, and that's a unique case, I don't see that kind of thing regularly at all, where a guy calls a girl a bitch, cheats on her and demeans her and she stays. Obviously violent, manipulative and dysfunctional relationships exist but that's why they are. Not "girls going for assholes."

Also, to comment on the black chick/white dude thing, I've dated two black girls in my life, and one Indian girl. That is it. I would say half of my hook-ups have been with black girls, and they number far more than my relationships haha. I'm a fairly average white dude with an above-average knowledge of black music and culture. Maybe it's just this younger generation (I'm 20), but I feel like race cohesion that way has dissolved a bit. It seems like I see as many interracial couples around campus as homogeneous ones.

To my knowledge, the blonde/White girl love in the middle East is because they think White girls are really easy. From speaking to Arab dudes that was always the case, not because they found them more attractive than other girls.

Although I've never heard of that kind of idolisation of White people anywhere else in the Arab world. Never to the extent that they'd rather an ugly blonde chick over a hot Arab. It's always just talk about how easy White chicks are.

I wasn't talking about Saudi Arabia specifically. I know nothing about SA and quite frankly I don't want to know. It sounds like a terrible place. I was referring to other Arab countries where fortunately, not all women are seen as whores.

No one is saying every single person in Saudi Arabia is terrible. I mean I didn't even say any were, you're the one who said it. I like you and Jinfash so I know not everyone is terrible. But the general views and consensuses people hold I think are bad.  People aside, SA as a state is also terrible. You just have to read up on the kind of laws and rules that are enforced to come to that conclusion.

Also elektrik since you're answering questions: Why do a lot of women date assholes and douchebags? Whats in it for them? I know chicks like to change guys and/or "tame" them. But don't they sometimes realize its a waste of time.

Yeah, how come hetero women are the only people who will stay in romantic relationships when their partners sometimes act inconsiderate or cruel?  Nobody else would ever do that!
OK I'm kind of stereotyping yeah, but I mean I know chicks who go for assholes. Assholes from the beginning. Its not like they became assholes or showed their true colors later. I'm not generalizing or anything but there are many women who are guilty of this.

Really, it all depends on the girl... Out of the people I know (coworkers, college friends, HS friends), the people in long term relationships/marriages, are the quintessential "nice guys" - kinda shy, not big into partying, a bit on the subservient side, what Roissy would call a "beta". The dickheads, people who try too hard, people who act all 'dudebro'... they'll get phone #s but it never goes anywhere.

The biggest asshole I know (who tries to coax people into his snake-oil pyramid scheme, acts loud and brash as he goes on pub crawls dressed like a pirate, does everything he can to try and be the center of attention, uses people to benefit his own means) once was complaining on his FB "why do nice guys like me finish last?" I was LMAO.

The way that works out the best, for me at least, is to meet girls through mutual friends.

Oh well, I always assumed a good deal of arabs look at blacks as brothers in the struggle, and if shit popped off we'd be on the same side fighting whitey. You guys break my heart  :'(

I've got many black friends and family members who have similar opinions on white chicks though. Some black guys will date an average to ugly looking white chick just because. Initially I didn't believe some saw it as a "movin' on up" class thing but it didn't take long for me to change my mind. One of my best friends only dates white chicks, and they've never good looking or interesting; as in, trailer park chicks, a plain skinny ass janitor from our old school, etc. He's a pretty successful guy (in dental school), and we both go to black student events that are filled with good looking smart women, but for whatever reason he's not into them at all.

In short: he thinks Dee is hot. Yea, that Dee

Were you cocky and funny?

Did you kiss her right there so you don't get friend zoned?

Did you treat her bad just a little bit since all bitches really love it?

Coffee dates are gay because coffee sucks.

Definitely true, Cajole. It might have carried the entire discussion!

Pros: Coffee lasted for over two hours, only ended when I chose to leave
Cons: No specific activity was set for the future, it's tough to read this chick

... It's not really a big deal, either way. I'm not looking for anything serious at the moment, considering my travel schedule for the next six months. Someone already asked me to elope this week too!

I took a midnight grocery shopping trip for I was hungry and I didn't want fast food. When I got inside the store, I saw they had taco shells and spices on sale, so I decided I'd make shrimp tacos tomorrow. I picked up the rest of my stuff, including food for right now and remembered that they had chayote squash. I went back to the produce, grabbed one and came back to the one checkout line open.

I put my stuff down, and place the chayote squash on top of the hot wings box. A guy gets in line after me and plunks down two 24 packs of natty ice. He looks at my stuff and says:

"Whats with the apple, dude? What the fuck is that?"

So I say:

"It's a chayote squash."

He leans into me a bit, and with a hint of morning breath says:

"Dude. It looks like it's eating its own ass."

"It's a squash"

"What's it taste like man?"

And I don't know how to answer this, because its hard to easily describe. The closest thing I can think of is cactus, so i tell him it tastes like cactus.

"Cactus? What sort of cactus man? Fuck. Does it taste like, like mescaline? Because that shit is the worst tasting thing I've ever seen."

At this point, I'm like what the fuck are you on. So I think of something easier to describe it with. Meanwhile, he's still going on about different cacti and things that taste like ass.

"It tastes like zucchini."

"OH. Oh, alright."

wtf

 :lol  I only just started using Facebook recently.  Haven't gotten any suggestions like that, but I did see one of the more unpleasant people on my high school alumni list and my old two-faced asshole manager on another list.  Also got a few friend requests that I turned down, and felt kinda bad about it.  :/

has facebook ever improved anyone's life?

It's nice to connect with people you might not see as much or haven't seen in a long time, but I'm not seeing any meaningful conversations taking place or anything.  I'm already using it less and less after having only signed up a few weeks ago.  There's also one particular friend who is on there 24/7, so my news feed is a bunch of posts from him proclaiming his love for his girlfriend or ranting/raving about hockey games.

That's what I was going for. I've been doing movie scores recently and it sort of effected my style. Also, I have a very limited toolset at the moment with Garage Band and its preset beats so it explains why the beats differ so greatly but still, I feel it clicks.

PROGRAMMERS, read this post!

So check this out. Right before spring break my programming professor slams us with a pretty tough assignment. We've got pointers, loops, AND graphics going on in this project. It's a text adventure. It's really quite simple, because the prof gave us most of the code. Here's what he gave us.

Quote from: Professor Dipshit
#include <stdio.h>

/****************************************************************************
 * ps3.c
 *
 * Computer Science 121
 * Your Name
 *
 * Super Text Adventure
 *
 * User starts in one of 4 rooms and hunts down a treasure.
 ***************************************************************************/

/*
 * render: Draws the map.  Places an X and T where the character and
 *         treasure reside, respectively.
 *
 * Parameters:
 *  room - A room number where the player is.  Valid room numbers are 1-4.
 *
 */
void render(int room)
{
   if ((room < 1) || (room > 4))
   {
      printf("Cannot draw map, invalid room number: %d\n", room);
      return;
   }
   printf("---------\n");
   if (room == 1)
      printf("| X |   |\n");
   else if (room == 2)
      printf("|   | X |\n");
   else
      printf("|   |   |\n");
   printf("---------\n");
   if (room == 3)
      printf("| X | T |\n");
   else if (room == 4)
      printf("|   | X |\n");
   else
      printf("|   | T |\n");
   printf("---------\n");
   printf("You are in room %d.\n", room);
   printf("\n");
}

/*
 * move: Returns the room number the player resides in after moving
 *       north, west, south, or east.  This function ensures that the player can
 *       never leave the map.  If player attempts to move outside of
 *       room 1, 2, 3, or 4 an appropriate message is displayed, and the room
 *       the player originally resided in is returned.
 *
 * Parameters:
 *  command - An integer representing up [8], left [4], down [2], or right [6].
 *   player_room - The room number where the player is.  Valid room numbers are 1-4.
 *
 *  When this function is finished, the room number where the player resides after applying the given command
 *  will be stored in the value pointed to by player_room.
 */
void move(int command, int *player_room)
{
   /* implement this function*/
   return 0;
}

/* Game logic goes here */
int main()
{
   int player_room = 1;

   printf("== Super Text Adventure ==\n");
   render(player_room);

}

Now I knew something was funny looking at this code. And the whole time he's like "Don't change the render function!" Bullshit, you cocksucker. Because of the random printf argument in the render function, nothing would come out the way he wanted us to make it.

Every time you'd enter an incorrect number, it was supposed to prompt you with an error message and then reprint the map, like this (though you don't see the error message in question):
(http://i40.tinypic.com/2zgg4nt.png)

Because of this motherfucker's bullshit code, I ended up wracking my brain trying to debug the code I wrote, because I trusted this dumbass. This is like the 10th time this dude has slipped up. Before, he's walked us through writing programs for topic examples that I tried compiling and they were either filled with syntax errors or crashed. This professor fucking SUCKS.

I'd post my code, but this post is long enough already. Will post if asked.

I scrub my dick and balls with the loofah, as for my asscrack I just spread my cheeks and let the water flow like wine. Then I give it a quick wipe with my hand - scrubbing said hand with the loofah after. Poke my pooter with my pinky just for kicks, too.

Use washcloth once. Put it in the hamper to be washed. Get new washcloth the next day. Simple.

Compared to using the same loofah you used the day prior without washing it. Loofahs are infested with germs. How are they somehow less disgusting?

Should get a new loofah. How are those axe sponge things?

Exactly.  I can understand not wanting to put your hand up there after a long day and take a whiff or taste.  But if your ass is still grody while in the shower.  Hell, just your ass crack.  Something is wrong with you.  Clean better or wipe better.  Something.

I also have 4 pages of an essay I need to write tonight.  Searle's Mind a brief introduction sucks ass.  He gives such a shallow discussion of the topics that I've had to spend a shit load of time researching stuff that I really shouldn't have too.  i still have no idea what "aspectual shape"  is.

There was some girl in my class that used to cry in class because she was so lost.  One day she kinda broke down and started to yell about how what we were learning was stupid.  I wanted to laugh but that would be awkward since she sat next to me.  Pretty sure she dropped the class after the midterm.

one class I tried to explain a different way to think about the problems and she was trying to make the teacher teach it in that way.  That was even more awkward since I felt like I needed to help explain it even though it was for her benefit.  that said, the class has become really boring since she left.  There is another girl in the class who seems to be cracking too, but I'll probably drop this class before I witness that happening.

Himuro, since no one else wants to say it: you do realize that hot water + friction + soap = clean, right?
I think he's overrating the friction part of it.  It's pretty common for people who get obsessive-compulsive about cleaning to think rubbing harder cleans you better so, I dunno-maybe his rituals about it are just all out of comfort/familiarity of using a washcloth.

The weirdest was this one girl from an old class who she started freaking out, wrote out a note and ran out of the room.  The note was like a paragraph long and about why she needed to get water, but she spend a good couple minutes making weird noises as she wrote the note.

Even after that she was in class everyday.  There is no excuse not to go to class.

Pregnant? The first thing that comes to mind is some 80's movie cover with you in some lawyer suit holding a thick book under one arm, a crying baby being cradled in the other. A messy apartment of a backdrop and a comical look of confusion and dismay on your face.

She was drinking heavily, so she's probably not pregnant (not that I was stalking her). On the other hand, if the dudebro got her pregnant, it's not like alcohol will make a difference to the kid.

If she's getting a little chubby and her boyfriend is a real dudebro (and not a normal guy that malek is just jealous of), then she's got low standards for both of those things.

It will be when I'm dead and raped, wont it? Maybe they'll make a movie about the idiot who left his window open and was murdered (and afterwards raped) while reading about old wrestlers and kinda-watching the second Fantastic Four film on FX.

Had two great strokes of fortune recently. First, a guy I talked to awhile back about starting a band in Daegu turns out to live one subway stop away from me. I went to go jam with him yesterday, and we had a really productive session. We got down to writing some material, and it sounded great. He has all the personnel ready to go, so now all we have to do is get everyone together and start practicing. It's so fucking awesome. Trying to find a drummer, bassist and singer who don't suck and are down to put in the time to start a real band among the expat community is pretty tough, and he's already got these guys lined up. Now it's just plug in and go. I'll need to buy a better amp and possibly upgrade my guitar, but I'm much more comfortable doing that knowing that we've got an actual band.

Second, the music teacher at my school agreed to let me use the piano in the music room. I went in today and practiced for about an hour. It's awesome. I found free sheet music for Tiny Dancer online and learned how to play some of it.

Can't you ghetto guys post some pics of what a part, ceasar, fade or bowl cut look like?

Part

A line in the hair that divides into different sections.

Look at 2Pac's hair in this. The line is part.

(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vPeL-rnev2o/Rx5M_pA8PhI/AAAAAAAABIc/iNq7aMWiv58/s320/tupac+juice.jpg)

Of course, having the part in that manner is early 90's. Parts are usually complimentary with a caesar or fade

Caesar

(http://tinyurl.com/y8qq27l)

Fade

(http://i.ehow.com/images/a04/fq/br/cut-bald-fade-haircut-800X800.jpg)
As for a bowl cut, I don't see how that's possible with normal or average black hair. Maybe if you have straight hair, but that's a rarity.

Well, it looks like Stag and Doe Chick might have re-thought her decision to turn me down.

I said "fuck it" and sent her a facebook message along the lines of "Hey SaDC, I'm not the sort to persistently harrass a woman, but I will say that if you ever happen to change your mind about hanging out some time, feel free to give me a shout."

Not generally a recommended move, I know, but hell, there's no downside.

She replied today "Hey Boogie, If you're ever in the Etobicoke area... give me a shout. Maybe we could grab a coffee or something.
Take care,
SaDC"

*shrug*  she could have just ignored me. (like the other chick I had mentioned.  I gave one last "hey, are you free on Friday" offer, and she didn't even reply back this time.  That one's obviously a write-off now)

 I guess we'll see.

Yeah.  It's usually when they've initiated a soft blow off earlier and you try again and they don't feel like a soft blow off worked but they don't want to be rude so they're just hoping you never actually take them up on that offer or they figure they'll find an excuse then.  It's easier than being direct apparently.

gawdammit.

date with a chick from POF tonight, meetup for drinks.

Older than me, 31.  Beautiful.  And actually a huge sci-fi geek. So, something in common, though I think she even out-geeked me.

I thought things were going well, she was enjoying herself.  I was making her laugh quite a lot.  Wasn't reciprocating any of my attempts at kino though.

End of night, go for kiss, aaaaand cheek turn, into a lame-ass hug instead.

fuck.

And a lot get with black guys for one night stands because of their big dicks, and a friend of mine is pretty much a womanizer and he's black.

Muslim girls have been removing pubic hair way before the Europeans even knew what hair was. A muslim girl is like a hundred times more likely to be cleaned up down there than a Euro.

Quote from: wikipedia
In Islamic societies, for example, removing the pubic hair is a religiously endorsed practice under the Sunan al-Fitra.[18]

i was out shopping for food today. typically i just wander around the general vicinity where my mother is currently shopping. we turned into an isle and encountered two person family, a mother and her daughter. i noticed that the daughter seemed to be looking in my direction but i was mostly oblivious and staring at random foods on the shelves. my eyes did catch hers and we both smiled towards each other. eventually we both moved on.

a little bit later we were at the other end of the store and we crossed paths with the mother from the other family. this time she greeted my mom and they started talking. apparently they knew each other from a long time ago. and apparently the daughter was someone i knew from a long time ago as well. thats why she smiled, she knew me. now her face did seem vaguely familiar to me but for the life of me i couldnt remember who she was.

at this point, a normal person would probably walk over to the daughter and strike up a conversation. find out who she is and how they remember her. possibly exchange pleasantries and maybe even phone numbers so they can catch up.

unfortunately i'm not a normal person. instead i spent the remaining time at the store walking around trying to remember who the daughter was on my own. eventually leaving and never really finding out.


it wasn't until i was walking back into my house when i realized how big of an opportunity i missed.

Her: blahblahblah
You: cool, we should hang out some time. Got a facebook?

And you can get a potential date out of it too.

Yeah, there were Samurai Shodown, DBZ, and Spider-Man designs all over the place.

The first time I saw someone wearing one was when a co-worker's friend's boyfriend came into the game store.  He had on one of the Samurai Shodown shirts.  I was a HUGE Neo-Geo nerd at the time and asked him "hey that's pretty cool!  Where did you buy it?"  His response was "I don't tell people where I get my clothes.  Don't want anyone copying me.  :smug"  I found them at Hot Topic shortly after and after looking around that store, decided I didn't want one after all.

Yep and because Latina's have big asses, arabs love big asses.

In google trends, the countries that have most searched 'ass':

1) Morocco
2) Egypt

:lol

I've never met a latina with a big ass (and there were a lot at my catholic secondary school). Maybe the ones that migrate to England have small asses, because they're shunned in their homeland!

So, last Thursday my film professor came late to class (which is not irregular) and after some disrespectful prompting from the students in my class, he broke down and let us all know that he had terminal cancer.  He apologized for being late and missing some screenings, but he was dying.  He cried a few times, said dying sucked, said it really sucked for his wife and four-year-old daughter, but that he had a PhD in film studies and wanted to teach us what he knew before he died.  The whole thing was really heart breaking but I respected him for what he was doing and I couldn't wait until the next class, because everything he said would be that much more important.  He wasn't teaching because it was his job, he was teaching because he wanted to give us some of his knowledge before he died and everything he knew was gone forever.

Then I got an email today from the department saying that since a large number students complained to their advisors about the professor acting "emotional and erratic" in class, the department decided it would be best to have him take a leave of absence for the rest of the semester and we'd get a new instructor. 

Sometimes I really hate the kids at my university.

Just got home from spending the weekend up at my gf's brother's place. We went up for her mom's 65th birthday, and while we were there, her bro took us out to watch his 12 year old son try out for a nearby football team.

From the bleachers, you could see all the little 12 to (I'm assuming here) 14 year olds on their gear, except for one "kid' who looked about 6"2 towering over the rest of the team.

It got a bit creepy when the kid was jogging a lap and I overheard a mother in the bleachers in front of us comment, "Wow, Look at the muscles in his ass!" to her friend as he passed by.

How much older is she? Dude you seem like a mature fellow. You already have a good serious career that demands a lot of responsibility. And at the same time you find time to hang out with buddies/have good fun. What's not to love.



Her 31 vs. me 26.
Her biological clock is ticking. Maybe she just doesn't think you wouldn't want to settle down. I wouldn't see age as an issue either.

well, I wouldn't have thought she'd be all "biological clock", since her profile was all "'I'm easy going and looking for something not too serious."

31-years-old? :hyper

... In all seriousness, I was dating a 30-year-old last year (as a 25-year-old) and it was kind of tough. She was really thinking about starting a family and setting roots (although, as I was told "sometime down the line"), and I was in the Caribbean, plane hopping to Los Angeles, taking a train to New York, etc.

The two women I'm interested in now are within my age range, although one is a little younger. I called it off with the "choking" chick, though.

I told Cheebs already, forgot to mention it here: my mom wants to set me up with a 32yo chick. I'm 23. That's far worse than the age difference between you and this chick  :lol
5 years isn't bad
Last week (persian new year), my family was over at somebody's house and a 17 yo girl's dad was asking me a lot of specific questions about what kind of degree and job and all that I was going towards and when I'm planning to get married.  So, basically obvious implications that he's shopping around and I just tried as hard as I could to bullshit him with really vague answers because 17 yo girl's are still girls.

Would you prefer to have it like that?

My boy and the other boys I've been around have been great with other dogs, including other breeds. I had my girl first, and she was a puppy mill rescue, so she's weird about other dogs and people. Some she loves and some she wants to destroy. Never been around too many other female shibas. She's in love with our male though. She wants to mother (and therefore protect) what she perceives to be her family. I'd guarantee 90% of her issues with some people/animals is from her puppyhood. /puppyschologist

There are three issues.

1) It's rare for a Korean woman to still be single at her age. So the chances of her looking for something casual are lower than they would already be by virtue of being Korean.

2) I'm not sure that my social life includes activities that would actually interest her. I go out drinking with a bunch of foreigners between 22-35 (mostly on the younger end of that scale) and some Koreans who are all mostly under 25. My other activities include a martial arts club, a writers club, a dancing class (which might be a decent possibility, actually) and various sober daytime shenanigans.

3) The whole pen in company ink thing.

I might actually sack up and invite her downtown one of these weekends when something cool is going on.

Why not just flirt with her at school until he gets to know her better and gets an idea of what she's expecting.  Trying to track down her favorite watering hole and coincidentally being there at the same time comes off a little desperate.

Things will never get anywhere at school. It's a good place to get to know her better, but there are too many watching eyes for any kind of real flirting.

I'm thinking I'll just ask her to come along with me to some kind of social event that involves drinking, but it would have to be one that I think would appeal to her. I don't think she'd be a fan of my usual Friday night dive bars at this point.


Btw, I was walking up my stairs just now, and a pretty cool guitar riff came to me, and I actually managed to figure it out once I sat down with a guitar (I've lost some great riffs while in the process of trying to figure them out on guitar; I wish I had a better ear), but I'm not sure if it's been done before. It probably has.

This dude is really nice, he's pretty chubby but he's one of those cool dudes that everyone likes. He's pretty smart too, so I just don't get why he'd agree to do her shit, or why he's so excited about it.

Went out for a movie tonight, I seriously cannot read this chick. She was colder than ice, but wanted to get a bite to eat and drink coffee afterwards - we ended up staying until after the place closed (she paid btw). So she must have had fun, but it's like, there's no way to tell if she's romantically interested.

That said, I'd be happy if she wasn't. I kind of want to get friend zoned on this one; she's not really relationship material - but I can totally dig hanging out with her on a purely friend basis.

I'd be open to something casual, but I don't think we have enough overlapping interests to really motivate me to make the effort to be romantically involved. Eh. At any rate, someone else has entered the picture of sorts - and I'm far more interested in her, so it's not a big deal.

Genital warts aren't curable.  They disappear and flare up again, and there's always a risk of infection.

Kosma will have to live the rest of his life knowing he has an STD, and he'll probably infect countless women throughout the years.

There is no cure for HPV, but there are methods to treat visible warts, which could reduce infectivity, although there are no trials studying the effectiveness of removing visible warts in reducing transmission.[8] Genital warts may disappear without treatment, but sometimes eventually develop a fleshy, small raised growth. There is no way to predict whether they will grow or disappear. Warts can sometimes be identified because they show up as white when acetic acid is applied, but this method is not recommended on the vulva because microtrauma and inflammation can also show up as acetowhite.[5] Magnifying glasses or colposcope may also be used to aid in identifying small warts.[5]
Depending on the sizes and locations of warts (as well as other factors), a doctor will offer one of several ways to treat them. Podofilox is the first-line treatment due to its low cost.[9] Almost all treatments can potentially cause depigmentation or scarring.[8]

Genital HPV infections have an estimated prevalence in the US of 10–20% and clinical manifestations in 1% of the sexually active adult population.[3] Incidence of HPV infection has increased between 1975 and 2006.[where?][3] About 80% of those infected are between the ages of 17–33.[3] Although treatments can remove the warts, they do not remove the HPV, so warts can recur after treatment (about 50–73% of the time[13]), and also spontaneously regress.[3] Traditional theories postulated that the virus remained in the body for a lifetime. However, new studies using sensitive DNA techniques have shown that through immunological response the virus can either be cleared or suppressed to levels below what polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests can measure. One study testing genital skin for subclinical HPV using PCR found a prevalence of 10%.[3]

They can be "suppressed" but not cured.

Kosma is cursed for the rest of his life.  At best, he'll be the modern male Typhoid Mary of Ireland.

I'd say having sex with a different person every week would deem the person a slut.  I'd say assigning a point system to different sexual acts (ie. blow jobs get 1pt, anal gets 3pts...etc) and then adding them up could determine whether or not you were a slut but I do believe different situations call for different rules too (ie. do you suck dick regularly or just this month or two because of a bad breakup).  That sort of thing.

Also I'm going to have to go with the wiki definition of sex and say the point of penetration = sex.  Even if it's a half assed mid thrust.  At that point the other person becomes a "sexual partner".  Penetration = anal or vaginal.  Blow jobs don't count.
Title: Re: Official Thread of Flogging the Log: A Place for Better Random Talk

Keep in mind that by this definition, a person could have 104 sexual partners in four years of college and would not be considered a slut.

My definition of a slut is pretty different from anybody else's, I think. To me a slut is anybody that tries to use sex to fill a void- their sole enjoyment- for the rest of their life at one point of their life or another.
So to me it's not tied up in a number. You could be in a monogamous relationship and be a slut since you only have sex with that person to be 'loved'.
Hence Kosma isn't a slut. But I gather most people including myself have been sluts at one point of our lives.

Ofcourse you are baffled, everything baffles you you autisitic virgin twat. If shit didnt baffle you 24/7 you'd probably go out more and experience something.

Also 75-90% people has HPV as you could have read, and funny enough that comes close to the number of people who experienced more then you.

A majority of people my age are dumbasses too, why should I aspire to join the majority? I'm sorry, but your excuses don't hold weight. I'd rather not have genital warts or hpv  :lol

1% have it at any one time, 75-90% have had it in their life.

If only 20 million Americans - out of roughly 350 million - have the virus, that's nowhere close to 75 - 90% you math wizard. :lol

An HPV infection doesn't necessarily mean you're getting genital warts. You, however, have warts on your dick.  You and 1% of Americans.

Ive said it many times before so sorry to dissapoint you, I dont have warts on my dick.

God fucking dammit. I have to go see a doctor or my jonhson will die off.

Well my mister happy is not so happy now. Went to the doc, and ofcourse my doctor guy wasnt there, but some woman. I had to show her my jonhson, she prescribed me some toxic shit that will erode my cock. There were cute girls at the apothecary where I went to get it, not that flirting is possible when you´re getting shit to cure your dick and they know it  :lol

Gonna put on the stuff now  :-\
