I know what you mean about not being able to function when there may be chemistry. If I have no vested interest in a girl, then I feel natural and I'm witty, and I am confident. However, when I think that a girl might like me, I turn into the biggest freak. I analyze everything I do, and everything she says, and I ask, "does this mean something?"

I don't know, I think that the mix of my insecurity and my openness can get me into trouble. Like right now, I'm opening myself up and making myself vulnerable to someone I don't really know. The problem with me is I tire of small talk and superficial conversations about local sports teams.

It says that you like muscle cars in your profile. Any particular favorites? I am more partial to well handleing track cars, but my Dad has always been a big Dodge/ Mopar guy. His 68' Plymouth sport satellite with a 440 runs high 12 sec 1/4 mile on street tires. It's very fast and fun. So I have a lot of respect for muscle cars, and there will always be a soft spot in my heart for them.

Good luck with your dilemma. Here's a good luck piggy. YAY!

i know what you mean about the toque tainting. i finally splurged and bought a new one. i'm also partial to the brimmed ones. my kitty one is a little big for my peehead, but it'll do.

thanks. i hope i feel beter soon too. right now i feel like my head and insides might explode.

so flu shot.... soreness is normal and it'll go away in a few days. can you not physically lift your arm or it just hurts like a fucker when you do? if its the first one, check for swelling and redness in your joints. if you've got both... i'd go see your doctor. fo sho!

It's funny you should mention that about video games. It became an issue between my ex girlfriend and I that, while only part of a larger issue, we never really got past.

This is not to say that I spend exhorbinate (sp?) amounts of time playing video games. In fact, even though I played a lot as a kid, I wouldn't really call myself a "gamer". There is in fact only one game that I really ever play (Halo). There is a long running joke among my friends in referring to the X-BOX as a "Halo-TV adapter.

The draw to play halo comes a lot from my love of science fiction lore, and the HUGE history behind the storyline prevalent in all of Bungies games. Another aspect that has drawn my friends and I to this one game is the community involvement and comraderie surrounding Halo players. It's an excuse for friends to get together and play games and eat snacks and work together/ kill each other. As someone who doesn't drink, dance, or enjoy the bar scene this is a good way for us to get together and have a good time.

Check out www.7hr33.org and read the short wright-up in the "background" section, and I think it'll help you understand. (if in fact you care to understand at all, cause I'm pretty sure that she didn't)

Some people would argue that a video game lacks substance because it isn't real. I think it's important (especially with violent video games) to be able to see that it obviously is not real, but I would argue that a video game can be as real an experience as a book or movie, and perhaps even more so because you can actually control the outcome to a certain degree. Think of it as a visual role playing game (as if that makes me any less of a geek )

On a seperate note, I too hope that the world becomes more accepting towards tattoo's and body art in general. I have long wanted to get a tattoo, but I want it to be something that suits me as a person, and I want to actually design it (otherwise I would feel like I'm stealing) I just haven't been able to come up with the right thing yet.

I had an idea the other day, I think a cool tattoo would be a large black circle on the back of each shoulder, with smaller circles over each elbow, and a black line connecting them together Then, the same behind each knee, then lines again connecting the shoulders to the back to the knees. I'll have to try drawing it on myself someday and check it out. I think I like the minimalism of it though. What do you think?

I'd like to see what you've got for tattoos, It sounds pretty thorough and cool.

Good work. There are way too many people out there like her, and not enough people step up and tell them that they are shitty parents. Myself, I am without a backbone, so I would have just made faces to her behind her back, and think to myself how much I hate her.

The sad truth is that there are a lot of people out there who aren't fit to own a goldfish, let alone mature enough to raise children. It makes me shudder to think of how maladjusted her kids could grow up to be if this is how they percieve relationships to be.

You gotta have a liscence to drive a car, but anyone can raise children.

I think you should organize a town stoning. Where everybody gets together, and bludgeons her with projectile rocks. It'll be a perfect time to get to know your neighbors, have a little fun, and give that hag bitch what she she deserves. You can even have a potluck dinner.

So what I should do, is just work up a good sweat, then head to the bar and hoist up the jukebox? Ok, if you insist.

What kind of lotion have you been using on your tat?

EDIT: I recommend the water based vaseline intensive care without alo vera, to prevent damage to the tat, and also some topical lidocaine to take care of the itching.

I use Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion too but I've always had itching, Maybe that topical lidocaine is the key.

Hey thanks for the compliments. Sounds like you have quite a bit of work done, gonna put pics up sometime?

hey a while ago you said this

ok for the hair growth thing:
1. apple cider vinegar and sage tea rinse for your hair.
2. eat foods rish in Biotin, like brown rice, grren peas, lentials, oats, sunflower seed ( the natural kind) and walnuts.
3. lie upside down for 15 mintues a day and rub your head.
4. do not use unnatural products in your hair.
5. take vitamin B AND C.

i am so happy you got to jam.
good luck on your tests.
i hope i helped with the hair growth thing.


does that also promote new growth or does it just help current hairs grow longer?

Your journal entries kick so much ass. I never know what to say to them, but I like to reread them. And yes, you do know me, I just changed my name.

Yeah, I thought the new identity might surprise some people. I'm thinking about changing it again someday. Then changing my whole profile. After that, I'll remove every body from my friends list, and make wierd post in all of your journals, so you're like, "who the hell is this guy???"

The only problem with that is then I would have no friends .

Here's the link:

I have alot of friends in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver. I think it would be a pretty easy transition for me as a result. I've heard that the health care system is a little messed up though. Not that ours isn't. I like the atmosphere though. People seem a little more laid back.

So you are going to show me around Toronto, right? I need a guide, and someone to remind me when to say "eh" at the ends of sentences.

I think I'll fit in pretty well, except that I'm a bigger Flames fan than I am a Leafs fan. But the Leafs are still cool. I'm NOT giving up my Bruins aparell though!

So what is there to do up there? I've heard Toronto has just about everything.

I can say that I am depressed because of my boredom. I am really severly bored like all the time only when Im playing with my band am I not bored.. and here on SG keeps me pretty not bored too.

depression is not so much fun, but it can be an indulgence, whereas boredom is just not so much fun by definition.

daarrrr my piectures turned out excellent. For thos who were involved, leave a message for me and let me know if it went down errr not.

hey, just thought i'd say hello, hope to chat with you in the future.later. =troy=

I saw you on a group then linked to your page...read it....and you seem like good people...so then I asked for friendship

Ya, I have got not the cable either. In fact, no tv for me whatsoever. I've been trying to quit, and for the most part I don't miss it. I just wish I could get speedvision. (not even all the time, just for the motorcycle races). I occasionally watch at my parents, and so thus, the observations on the degredation of society (ie. reality shoes)

Fahrenheit made me cry a few times too.. but it also made me laugh, feel angry, feel cheated, and feel curious as to what might have acctually gone down. It was a great movie and a fantastic documentary.

Its soo tragic how the urban cities in foreign lands get bombed and burned and we think its okay cuz they are "our enemies"

Farenheit is a great flic. I hate Michael Moore, but he actually did a decent job with that one. Made me feel guilty all over again.

I saw that you cant get into the canada east group..

It took me months to get into it

Question? Did you remove me off your friends list? I know I didn't....Weird.

The Fraternity life in Canada is nothing like on TV. The TV show on MTV isn't a really fraternity. Approx. 75 % of Fraternities are non-hazing, and about 65% are dry houses. We all party, but fraternities are a lot more resonsible then TV portrays.

So how do we party you ask? You will just have to come to next year's FIJI Islander.
