R.I.P. Profile Originality
|
|
New T-shirt idea: "Over 20,000,000 Bad Profiles Read!" It's no secret how I feel about the "I don't know what to write here" and "Anything you want to know, you'll have to ask" profiles. Complete wastes of time for everyone involved. BUT -- I saw a profile yesterday that was actually quite long. I noticed the length, and I thought "Hmmmm, maybe someone has something to say, something worth reading....?" Nope. What it was, was EVERY SINGLE FREAKING PROFILE CLICHE EVER USED, all tacked together into one big long ultramegacliche. Most people just use 3 or 4 or 5 and let it go at that. But someone actually took the time to compile this huge list of banalities and stick them all together to make one enormous and worthless non-statement, rather than say one thing that might provide a little insight into the actual person behind the compilation. Is there a "Best of Dexy's Midnight Runners" CD? The worst ones are the ones that quite literally say, "rather than come up with something original, I'm just gonna cut-and-paste what another Mingler put in his/her profile!". If you're gonna use a cliche, then fine... but don't go so low as to let the profile-reader KNOW that you're stealing the cliche beforehand! That's beyond weak. And people wonder why online dating has such a stigma attached to it.

I've been called everything from "a dirtbag" to "a piece of ****" by various members of my family when I was growing up.
The worst were my dad's now ex-girlfriends (my parents were divorced a LONG time ago and ol' pop just HAD to feel the need to include my brother and me in their lives) who were the most callous. One even went so far as to do so right in front of my pop, who was so p@ssy-whipped he couldn't even think about coming to his kids' aid back then. |

Yeah- if worst comes to worst, you'll just have to bite the bullet and get the seasonal box-sets of the show. However, since the show hasn't been on for all that long, I don't think you'll go broke trying to get them... you can get all three seasons for around sixty bucks online.
Of course, you'll ALSO have to contend with whether or not the online store at History.com will even have the box-sets in stock- they're the worst when it comes to not having stuff they have advertised as "for sale". I know this is true because I did special effects for a couple of shows that played on the History Channel ("Shootout!", "The Way of the Gun"), and trying to even buy copies of the shows I did stuff on was like pulling teeth. The production companies wouldn't cough up so much as the unedited footage I could use for my demo reel, and the online store only had their most popular shows constantly stocked. |

Who here...

Hates Creed as much as I do? "Creed to come to Jobing.com Arena" "Scott Stap, the voice of Creed" what a bunch of douches! I just can't figure out how Creed even had the airplay they got. They sounded like a wanna-be Stone Temple Pilots back in the nineties. Can't stand Nickelback or Puddle of Mudd, either. |

Dating at work dilemma
|
|
So I made the mistake of dating someone at work, it got serious, we dated for over a year and got pretty involved. To make a long story short, she dumped me. It sucked. I waited a few weeks, thinking she would change her mind, come to her senses, whatever. It never happened. That was a few months ago. In the meantime, I was working closely with this gal I have known for several years, but never thought I had a chance with - a little out of my league if you know what I mean. I have really gotten to know her over the past few months and not only is she beautiful, I have really grown to like her. She has made it very obvious, since she found out I have broken up with the first woman, that she is intersted. Normally, I would have asked her out by now. But if things were to not work out, I might as well quit my job, because she could make my life a living hell. My job is very important to me. I have worked a long time to get into the position I am in with this company. It's simple right? There will be other gorgeous, intelligent, funny, independent women - right? And this folks is why dating someone in your workplace is a definite no-no. Not only will you have to endure the weirdness that would be in dealing with with post-break-up weirdness, but you'd also have to endure the gossip and drama that'd surely come from fellow cubicle-dwellers at the water-cooler. Not only that, but you can also kiss your career goodbye if the ex manages to slip in some not-too-pleasant information about you to a superior or manager. In other words, your name will be "mud" in more ways you can imagine. Sheesh... you'd probably be better off dating and dealing with a stripper... but not by much. |

I thought it might be nice to get some objective opinions since i am here anyway. So why is that? I always get attracted to the wrong guys, the ones that i know i can't get, the ones i know it s wrong to even think about, the ones that i know will be difficult to get due to different reasons. WHy? WHy? At the same time there are really nice guys out there who i know like me and want to do things for me all the time, and the more i know they like me the more not interested i become! What is wrong with me?? People always want what isn't necessarily good for them. If it isn't with booze, it's with food. If it's not with food, it's with drugs or cigarettes. If it's not with drugs or cigarettes, it's with who we date. To quote David Lee Roth (who was talking more about music, but it also applies to the dating scene), "To me... rock music is a lot like dating... I'm constantly surprised by the choices some people out there make.". So here's what you do- make a list of all the traits that attracted you to all your previous ex-boyfriends. Be as specific as you can... list as much as you can, from physical attributes to personality. Everything. Once you've made that list, go about dating the exact opposite. And I'm talking the EXACT opposite, too- zig when the list says "zag", and the rest of it. |

Gangland

Any fans of the show out there? I need some info about a specific episode- season unknown. It was all about the gangs here in Chicago, and they interviewed a former co-worker of mine, Adrian Sandoval. I've been trying to find out which specific episode he's on, so that I don't have to download them all to look, and imdb.com doesn't give much info on the show. Any help will be appreciated. The major gang in Chi-town would be the "Latin Kings"- they've been around since my pop was a teenager back in the mid-sixties. As far as which particular episode spotlighted the gangs of Chicago, you'd have to check with the History Channel's website at History.com. |

And if you have, did you just goto shows? Gamble? If you gambled did you win? Lose? Let me know... Also if you never have been but are planning to go, let me know that as well. I've been there twice- once was on business (I did some smoke and mechanical effects for the announcement of the construction of the Mandalay Bay Hotel back in 1998), and the other was for pleasure. Did very little in the way of gambling, as I'm just not a gambling man. So I spent most of the time casino-hopping and checkin' out the Hoover Dam. That's about it, though. I also spent some time in Reno, Nevada as well- that was also a business-related affair (worked on a movie) and probably did more gambling there than I did in Vegas. I even won a hundred bucks at one point, too. |

I've read on many sites that she has admitted to having both male and female parts. I'm not sure what to make of the whole thing. What do you all think? Yup. She's definitely packin' a schlong.

some will not compete
|
|
-Guys compete for women so many women assume that anyone who doesn't have a girlfriend, must have been loosing the competition, so they must be losers. It's the wrong assumption. There are single guys who don't go into competition even if they would probably easily could have a girlfriend. There are many reasons, but I find the most common reason lately is because they had their priorities laid out and it got messed up by either financial troubles, loosing a home or a job or having a hard time paying the bills. While they wish to have a girlfriend or wife or even a family, their current situation makes them to be passive and even repulsive and even though they try, reality comes in and they back off. It's not because they are evil, but the opposite. They don't want to drag any woman into their current situation. Many will fantasize about having a date or a new girlfriend, that's why they are doing it online. Talking through the internet to someone keeps a safe distance not to become too attached. Just my opinion. And I'm one of those "no competition" types. Too many bad dating experiences mixed in with social and professional obligations keep me from even bothering to go out there and find me some wimmins. |

hi problems with my webcam?
|

First off, make sure you have the drivers for said webcam installed. Most of them will work without drivers installed, but you'd probably be better off loading them in anyway.
Second off, make sure said webcam is configured properly. You'd probably have to into your Control Panel and make sure it's listed in the "Sound and Video" applet. You'll also probably need to make sure that it's listed in your web browser as well if need be. |
