Word of the Day – Democrating

To Democrat (verb): To argue for no reason, often over trivial points, to appease a strong inner desire to be right.
There’s a big Rules meeting today about how the delegates of Michigan and Florida should be split.
Both campaigns agree on the Florida delegates.
Clinton wants the Michigan delegates split 73-55 Clinton, Obama wants them split 64-64, [...]

Get Out Of My Life

Hero Adage #2: Most people aren’t worth talking to more than 5 times in a lifetime. The vast majority of people I meet don’t have more than a handful of worthwhile conversations in them. After I get these conversations out of them I choose to never talk to them again because I know it will [...]

The Tables Have Turned

One of the best pieces of advice I ever got from anyone was from a guy at a bar whose name I will never know. I was talking about girls and he said to me: “Man, just wait until you turn 23. After that, girls will be everything you ever wanted them to be.” I [...]

Track Of The Day: Put On

This track is absolutely ridiculous. I was thinking it was the best song I’ve heard in a few months until Kanye’s verse which took it to another level. And the next time someone tells you that hip hop is dead, you can remind them that Kanye West is the new Dr. [...]

Boys are Creepy

In a scintillating follow-up to my last post on why girls are boring, I solve the right hand side of the equation. In the title I wrote ‘boys’ instead of ‘men’ or the oft-used ambiguous pseudonym ‘guys’ because being creepy is nothing but being inexperienced. Boys that don’t know how to act inevitably act creepy [...]

Girls are Boring

After approaching a few hundred young women, me and this guy concluded that it was shocking how few interesting things girls actually had to say. I mean, if you’re a girl and you go to a bar to talk to guys (have guys come up and talk to you), for the love of God at [...]

Both Sides of the Peak Oil Debate

I was reading freakonomics today, which is a great blog, and there was an article on the $2.99 gas promotion Chrysler is putting on and the guy made the completely unqualified statement that “There is also every reason to believe that gas prices will be lower in the future than they are now”. He also [...]

I Would Kill Animals To Eat Their Meat

Some hippie vegetarian girl asked me if I would still eat the chicken sandwich I was eating if I had to kill the chicken myself. I thought about it for a second and informed the hippie that not only would I kill the chicken with my bare hands to eat my chicken sandwich, but I [...]

Actors Are Good Looking

The title here isn’t exactly a revelation, I know. But it seems like there’s a lot of core assumptions at work here. I mean, actors and actresses are very attractive people. Many people assume that this is because people like looking at good looking people and like watching what they do. This is undoubtedly a [...]

I Love You: A Translation

Woman to Man: “I want you to only want me”
Man to Woman: “I don’t want anyone else”
Child to Parent: “I want you to pay attention to me”
Parent to Child: “I love you”
