We can talk about anything you want to talk about. I eat healthy, I don't drink or smoke. You must know how to treat a woman. I don't like rude men and you must be respectful at all times. Please be willing to treat I'm not a "Dutch" kinda girl. If you have any questions for me please sent them with the first email and a pic. I can't wait to here from you sexy.

Tuesday

2010-10-08T08:24:00.000-07:00

Glue of Tuesday

The ends always come
Even the weekly Tuesday shows it behind.
Covered by the shadows of the Monday before
Embark the proverbial continuance of a proud beginning
Indifferent, and underrated,
Tuesday holds steadfast as old as time itself.
Unwavering, and undercover,
Tuesday marches onward without question.
Without Tuesday, Monday is just forever.
Without Tuesday, Wednesday is no longer.
So waft on, the glue of Tuesday.
Let the fumes spread, and drown out the stink of Monday.

The day is a good day
The sun is out
No clouds in the sky
There's even good music coming over the pipes

On the the train, but on today
I write a rhyme about the day
I hope it will be good
With much work to get done
A lunch with wings
Mmmmm, what fun!
Cherry coke and buffalo wings
Choice of mac or some greens?
I count my blessings because I know
I make enough to pay my own

As you read my silly rhyme,
I hope you smiled as you pass the time
As the seconds count down to five,
Take a deep breath,
Be glad we are alive.

I hope everyone that is on this email (BCC of course!) will have a good day! ;)

Saturday

Saturday

The day after Friday
To remind us the weekend is in full swing
The day before Sunday
To remind us, ok for another drink.

The day before the final round,
One more on the tee.
The day before the 500.
Once more around, just for speed.

Some partake the Sabeth
While others disco the Stu
Some work the third shift
Just to have some food

From faith to the faithless
From gay to the straight
For the old and the young
And every other way

Gather your thoughts
Take pride in what is you
Saturday is here
I drink, to you.

My Saturday.

Nice Guys, Click Here... - 42 (Alexandria)

2009-12-30T16:07:00.000-08:00

Well, it's the end of 2010 and as I am looking through craigslist, I came across this ad thinking it could be different. Then again, if I posted it here, would it be any different? Otherwise, you wouldn't be reading this now, would you? Ha!

"But if you are a nice guy and you want to meet a very nice girl who is a good cook, great friend and supportive partner then by all means drop me a line." Just be sure you're white.

-- original post --

I am a SWF, 6 feet, auburn hair, blue eyes, looking for a tall SWM.
I am a nice girl who is feeling a little disillusioned about the men I have been meeting.

Oh, I have met some guys and they are nice at first, but then something goes dreadfully wrong.

It seems I meet someone and the first thing they want to do is talk about is sex! They don't want to know what I like to do for fun, where I grew up, what my favorite food is, no, they want to discuss various aspects of sex. I don't lead the conversation to that topic, these guys do it all by themselves.

Either that, or they just want to have sex.

Yeah, classy, huh?

That may be fine for some girls, but I would rather meet someone of substance who is kind, considerate, respectful and courteous.

So, let's explore this...Sex is a great thing. In the appropriate time and place, it is wonderful, beautiful. However, a first date or when we are getting to know each other (online or on the phone) is NOT the appropriate time or place to talk about sex. I have actually had guys open their first email or phone conversations with me by talking about sex (some getting very graphic). When I tell them I am not comfortable discussing that with them at this time, they tell me that sex is "very, very important" and they need to know how "compatible" we are.

I see that as putting the cart before the horse. I want to know the PERSON first. The rest will come in time.

If you are driven by your hormones or think with your p**** then you probably aren't the guy for me. If you think it is absolutely vital that the first conversation we have should be about sex then you probably aren't the guy for me.

If you want something of substance and have evolved beyond the cave man mentality (most of the time anyway) then I would love to talk to you.

I am a SWF, 6 feet tall, auburn hair, blue eyes, HWP, independent, good job, single mom, good head on my shoulders and know what I want.
I would like to meet a SWM, 6 feet or taller (5'10" or so is OK too) with a larger frame (even if you are carrying a few extra pounds, that is fine by me - I seem to be drawn to that body type anyway). However, I really don't have a "type." My priorities in finding someone:

1. Christian
2. Good Character (honest, loyal, kind)
3. Funny
4. Intelligent
5. Tall

So if you are a single white male who possesses these traits, I would like to talk to you.

I am not attaching a photo here. I don't want guys to look at a photo and fire off an email without reading what I have here because if you aren't what I described here the quite frankly you are wasting your time and mine. However, if we exchange an email or two and we like what the other has to say, then send me a photo and I will return the favor.

I just want to meet someone nice. I really am not interested in debating this post. This is how I feel and you will not change my mind. I have an open mind about a lot of things, but I will not compromise my core values and no one is going to force me or intimidate me (I don't get intimidated) into it.

But if you are a nice guy and you want to meet a very nice girl who is a good cook, great friend and supportive partner then by all means drop me a line.

If You're Tall and Funny You May Just Be Perfect - 25 (Alexandria)

Date: 2009-11-05, 11:01PM EST

I could sit here and type out all the things I might want in a guy, but what if I say blond hair and you have brown, but could otherwise be a great match for me, and you move on? So I'll just list a few basic musts

Must be:
• tall (over 6 feet)
• white
• 24-28
• single
• open to a serious relationship
• funny
• fit (you don't need to have a six pack – though that's always a plus – but I'm athletic, fit, and like to keep in shape, and so should you)

I am:
• tall (5'9")
• 130lbs, athletic build

I have:
• light brown hair
• freckles
• a thing for nerdy guys (seriously, if I'm attracted to you and you're a nerd, we may be a perfect match)
• a job I can't tell you much about, or I'd have to kill you ;)

I'm looking for more than just a hook up, more than just chatting online. I'm ready for a serious relationship if it becomes that, but hope that it just starts with good company, good conversation, and a good time.

I'm from California, born and raised, moved out here a month ago for work. I have a master's degree in physics and I work in aerospace. I love good stand up comedy (Dane Cook is my favorite, so if you think he's a douche bag, that could be a problem). I'm a sucker for romantic comedies, and would love a guy who didn't mind watching an occasional one with me, though I wouldn't force a guy to watch if he'd be miserable and/or bored. I'm a democrat, so if you're a hard-core republican, I'm definitely not the girl for you. I'm not a super girly girl: I don't wear a lot of dresses or skirts (though I do own some); I don't take hours to get ready to go out; I don't own 100 pairs of shoes or spend money on facials and manicures.

So if anything I've said caught your eye, I'd love to hear from you. Please tell me about yourself, and also include a picture or you won't hear back from me (hey, I'm posting mine on the internet, you could at least include yours in your first response to me).

Nothing against fat/non-white person

2009-10-19T14:22:00.000-07:00

So what's wrong with the following ad?

Nice chilly day, I love cold weather! Don't want to stay home all day....... anyone interested in meeting for few drinks. It would be nice to meet up with someone new and chat. SWPM ONLY! you should be fit to average, I have nothing against heavy set people just not attracted to that body type. Age 35 and up. Please attach a PICTURE with your reply.

I wonder which one is a bigger deal breaker? The fat part? or the non-white part? What makes it funny is that this is for a strictly platonic ad.

Pretty, fun, 22 year old girl!! - 22 (nova)

-- original post --

Me: I’ll be 22 in less than a week. Don’t work out ever, and eat constantly, and am neither rail skinny or a pound overweight. I am 5’2”. I am sarcastic a lot, maybe a little bitchy, but most of the time I’m 100% light spirited about it, and am always honest. That being said, I am pretty... too pretty for CL. Long blond hair, tan, big brown eyes, pretty smile- that is white (because HEY! I don’t smoke!!).

I have a pretty fun and easy job right now, I will be finished with my BA in business in about a month or so, and will have to search for a real job.

Why am I resorting to CL? Because I’m not interested in any of the guys I already know, and don’t want to meet anyone at a bar, and am literally lost as to where else to meet them.

OK, who makes the cut? Anyone who is around my age, 22 to 25 AND doesn’t smoke (not because I’m some nut, it just makes me cough) AND doesn’t have any weird tattoos or piercings AND lives somewhere near my area, or is willing to drive.

You can be shy or outgoing, it doesn’t matter, I’m outgoing enough for the both of us.

Oh.. and one more thing. Only white boys need respond. Preferably Irish?? And, could you send a picture? Thanks!!!

Friendzone

2009-02-26T03:12:00.000-08:00

Ahh, the all too familiar topic of the friendzone. There is no denying it. The constant struggle to understand where that line is and when not to cross it. However, a clear example when you know you are in the friendzone is when she tells you "I think I've met someone". If there is ever a time when there is a signal, this is definitely one of those times.

But hey, at least you know she can rely on you when she needs to make that 7am flight out of Dulles. That is what friends are for.

Jessica, from Vienna Metro

2009-02-23T18:50:00.000-08:00

Oops, I did it again.

Well, not really. Not as bad as Britney anyways. On my way tonight, however, I did manage to say hi to a random girl that sat in front of me. She had blond hair that went past her shoulders that flowed like the wind, even though it was strangely cold on the metro. The few times I caught her profile, I was able to catch a glimpse of her long black eye lashes. Usually, I notice that a lot of woman's lashes clump together when they are long, but not this time. Despite their noticeable length, they were very clean, and slightly curled, but not clumpy. Her face, on the other hand did seem like she either spends a lot of time in the sun, or she spends a lot of time at the tanning booth. It looked good, but I don't know how long her skin can put up with that kind of treatment. She had on a black, winter pea-coat that covered her tightly, accented with a pink scarf around her neck. Interestingly enough, and I don't see this too often, she had white pin-striped pants. As she left the metro car and walked onto the platform, her pointy toe heels made the typical heel clicks against the cold hard cement. Over her right shoulder she had a black oversized quilt-like bag with the letter "J" done in gold colored embroider. She stood approximately close to my shoulders and I believe she was probably either a size 2 or 4.

She smelled like freshly baked cookies. I don't know if it was her, or someone else that sat behind me, but it smelled good.

She was about 5 paces in front of me as we left the metro car. Then, another girl came in front of me as we were making our way up the escalator. As we approached the metro gates, she veered to the right, I veered two gates over to the left. As the crowd get mixed up between the gates, I somehow ended up in front of her. I slowed down. Waited. Then I turned around to find her.

There she was. She was fiddling with her metro card. I made my approach.

Like a lost boy at the mall, I lightly tapped her on the shoulders. At first, she probably thought I was just bumping into her when I said "excuse me". Then, I said "excuse me" again and she pulled out her earbuds and looked at me. I wasn't nervous, but at the same time, I wasn't sure what I was doing. I asked her "exucse me, what's your name?"

She said "Jessica." I said to her that I had sat behind her and that I had wanted to ask her what her name was. But there was a guy sitting next to me, so it was a bit weird. I told her "I just wanted to tell you how pretty you looked".

She said to me "that is so nice of you, thank-you". At least I think she said thank-you, but I don't really care. She did definitely say "that is so nice of you" and that was gratitude enough. A totally hot girl. I complimented her, and the world didn't end.

She put back on her earbuds, and we went our separate ways. She went to the right toward the Vienna South Parking Garage as I walked to my ghetto secret parking location.

Maybe I should have done more than just ask her for her name, but hey, I totally asked her for her name and I think that is pretty good. I got her name.

Jessica.

So whereever you are tonight Jessica. I thank-you for making me smile.

Just kinda bored at work today, and something dawned on me: I have dated people from all ethnicities, but for some reason I have never had the opportunity to date anyone of Asian descent.

A little about me: attractive 27yo, white, blond, professional female living and working in D.C. Have my stuff together, looking for the same. No kids, but I adore my cats. I like to read, jog, and enjoy good, humorous company. I LOVE to travel. I'm pretty independent and strong-willed, but I am also open to other perspectives and adept at compromise.

Just kind of curious who is out there. Hoping to meet someone attractive, honest, positive, hopefully a bit outdoorsy.

I'm in no hurry, so I'd ideally like to exchange pics and e-mails, have a few phone conversations before meeting.

If this has piqued your interest and you'd like to know more and think we might hit it off, them shoot me an e-mail.

Chinese Restaurant Tables and those who move them

2008-12-08T06:12:00.000-08:00

"People who come into a restaurant, rearrange the tables, eat, leave, and don't put back the tables from where they originally found them."

So that was my observation. Here I was at my usual Chinese take out place. It's cheap, and actually fairly genuine. The menu is mostly americanized but they have a few dishes that is catered to the chinese palette. Pretty good all around.

Here I am minding my business and I noticed this big family of adults and children, roughly 15 or so individuals in the group. They pulled a bunch of tables together so that they could all sit and eat together. No big deal. People do that all the time.

What bugs me the most is that after this group was done eating none of the adults bothered to put the tables back to their original position. How do I know? Well, each table is supposed to be by themselves and not placed next to each other. This group had 4 tables placed next to each other.

This may not seem like a big deal but what happened to common courtesy? If these kids were playing with their toys at home, and when they were done they didn't put them back, what do you think their parents would say? Do you think it is appropriate for you to go to the supermarket push around one of their carts and when you were done just ditched it at by the curb where you parked, not even to at least return the cart to the cart return corral or back to wherever you got the cart in the first place?

Remember VHS? Some of you may not remember that not too long ago when you used to rent movies on VHS it was common courtesy for you to "be kind, please rewind". What happened to those days?

Maybe it is just me but I suppose people are getting lamer by the day. Quit being lame people and pick up after yourselves. Clearly you're not setting a good example for your kids because none of them bothered to do what you should have done in the first place.

Shame on you! Booo!!!

Before I forget

2008-12-04T07:40:00.000-08:00

One strange and ironic thing so far this morning (only because I have somehow forgotten the second thing on my drive to the metro):

1. The lighting of the christmas and the double standard that we take on homelessness in the district of columbia vs the rest of world.

Not that I don't have the christmas spirit, but we spend all this money on a pair of christmas tree (in front of the capitol and near the wite house) celebrating christmas each and every year. In an economic struggle such as the one we are in, is the money really well spent? In the back drop of that, we have homeless people and families wandering around the district, not having a place to sleep, little to no money for food, but forced to see TWO christmas tree lit up like a couple of fire crackers on the Fourth of July. We might as well have a buffet of food and camping supplies all laid out somewhere but put them behind a wall of electrically charged barbed wire fence and taunt them with it as the rest of us watch in joy as each one try to claim their unwinnable prize; like a sadistic robot arm reaching for that cuddly teddy bear, each attempt only 25 cents.

We are suppose to be the symbol of hope for the rest of the world? There are those a stone throw away from the epic center of all this "hopefulness" that can't even afford a warm cup of soup let alone dream that they can make it past this already blistering cold autumn.

Hope?

How about a drum stick? A chicken wing? How about a jacket and a pair of gloves? How about some heat? Don't talk about how the trees are 50% more energy efficient than last year's tree when the money you spend this year is 100% as wasteful as the amount you squandered last year.

As long as the Washington D.C. continue to be the cesspool, we are sending the message and telling the rest of the world that it is ok to have your cake, slice after slice, and not have to share that cake with the people from which it claims to serve.

Rescue Me from my Loneliness - 33 (Arlington)

So you are looking for someone who is open minded. Yet, you are only looking for someone who is "caucasian/middle eastern/european"? I wonder...

-- begin ad --

I just want someone to put an end to this seemingly forever loneliness I've been feeling.
I'm just going to be honest and I'm sorry if this offends anyone.

I want a man to take care of my needs. Don't get me wrong, I am an incredibly accomplished, intelligent, charismatic, lively, compassionate, realistic, beautiful, funny, loving, caring woman. The thing is, I'm wanting to just take a sigh... not have to deal with everything on my own, and just be loved and pampered. Yes, I've had boyfriends and fiances. Very, very long relationships to some very, very brief ones. But that's a moot point.

I want a good man, a gentleman, someone over 6 feet tall, over 38 years old, caucasion/middle eastern/european, who's incredibly intelligent, open-minded, financially stable, extremely loving, understanding of passion, loves to laugh, incredibly kind and sincere, and willing to take me into his arms and take care of me, in every which way possible.

Too much to ask?? Maybe. But what do I have to lose.

Please, if you are going to reply, don't do so with immature, crazy, corny, sexually-related responses. I'm not interested so don't waste your time or mine. Also, don't ask for my picture unless you've already sent yours.

Thanks

Hi. I'm newly single and looking for someone with whom to explore the city and my new freedom. If you can find any situation entertaining, and enjoy everything from seedy bars to fine dining to people-watching at Caps games, we might have some fun together.

About me:
I'm a very attractive, professional woman looking for something more stimulating than a one-night-stand. I live and work in DC and enjoy much of what the city has to offer. I have a post-graduate degree and I speak/write in complete, grammatically correct sentences. I find humor in odd things sometimes. I like activities such as listening to live music, reading, museums, good food, cooking, travel, people-watching.

You:
I find men with classic good looks particularly appealing. Someone with a great sense of humor is a plus as I enjoy smiling and laughing. Physically, I generally find men who are white, over 6' tall, athletic, between 28ish and 38ish, with a great smile of interest. You should be able to speak intelligently about a variety of subjects, be single, and be looking for a casual-at-first "relationship."

If you are interested in finding out more about me, please reply with a recent, clear picture. I'm happy to send one back.

Toni Braxton - I don't want to

2008-07-12T19:59:00.000-07:00

As I was going through one of my external hard drives today, I came across one of my many mp3s from the 90s. As I was going through the collection, I found a copy of Toni Braxton's "I don't want to" and even though the song is over 10 years old, the message is timeless. Take a listen, this song needs no explanation. To the many people out there who are going through a lost love, or simply a broken heart, I dedicate this song to all of us as we share our moment in sorrow together.

Toni Braxton - I don't want to

I really don't feel like talking on the phone.
And I really don't feel like company at home.
Lately I don't want to do the things I used to do.
Baby since I lost you.

And I don't want to sing another love song babe.
I don't want to hum another melody.
I don't want to live my life without you babe yeah.
It's driving me crazy (crazy).

I really don't feel like smiling anymore.
And I haven't had the peace to sleep at all.
Ever since you went away, baby my whole life has changed.
I don't want to love and I don't want to live.

And I don't want to sing another love song babe.
I don't want to hum another melody.
I don't want to live my life without you babe yeah.
It's driving me crazy (crazy).

I don't wanna laugh, I don't wanna play.
I don't wanna talk, I don't have nothing to say.
I don't want to tour, forget the show how can I go on.
Now that you're gone.

And I don't want to sing another love song babe.
I don't want to hum another melody.
I don't want to live my life without you babe yeah.
It's driving me crazy (crazy).

Katy Perry - One Of The Boys

2008-06-22T13:47:00.000-07:00

Now, this is very unusual. A new artist from L.A. named Katy Perry recently released new album by the name "One Of the Boys." I have been listening to the first track which takes after the name of the album (or vice-versa) and I must admit it has a little of a throw-back to the 80s pop, with a side of punk, blended with a good story to tell through the lyrics. I could be wrong, but you can be the judge.

Katy Perry - One Of The Boys

I saw a spider
I didn't scream
Cuz I can belch
The alphabet
Just double dog
Dare me
And I chose
Guitar over ballet
And I take
These suckers down
Because they just
Get in my way
The way
You look at me
Is kinda like
A little sister
Rubbed
By your goodbyes
And it leaves me
Nothing but blisters

(Chorus)
So I don't want to be
One of the boys
One of the guys
Just give me a chance
To prove to you
I'm neither
I just wanna be
One of the girls
Pretty in pearls
Not one of the boys

So over the summer
Something changed
I started reading 17
And shaving my legs
And I study
The litter religously
And I walked
Right into school
And caught you
Drooling over me
Cuz I know
What you know
But now your gonna have
To take a number
It's ok
Maybe one day
But not until I get my
Diamond ring

(Chorus)
Cuz I don't want to be
One of the boys
One of the guys
Just give me a chance
To prove to you
I'm neither
I just wanna be
One of the girls
So pretty in pearl
Not one of the boys

I wanna be a flower
Not a dirty weed
And I wanna smell
Like roses
Not a baseball team
And I swear
Maybe one day
Your gonnna
Wanna make out
Make out, make out
Touch my boob

(Don't wanna be)
Don't want to be
(Don't wanna be)
Don't want to be
(Don't wanna be)

(Chorus)
Cuz I
I don't wanna be one
One
One of the boys
I just wanna be
One of the girs
So pretty in pearls
Not one of the boys

Jeremy Kay - I am alive

2008-06-21T10:28:00.001-07:00

I had a dream the sky was set on fire
and a thousand different colours falling down
in my dream I was so inspired
I think it means a change is coming round
a change is coming round

I could see it all so very clear
looking through the bright eyes of a child
those storms raging all around
I could only see the other side
see the other side

for a while
I don't care what comes tomorrow
I'm alive
and that's all I need today

when I awoke colours began to fade
like a rainbow disappearing before my eyes
but somehow the inspiration still remains
I think it means a new day has arrived
a new day has arrived

for a while
I don't care what comes tomorrow
I'm alive
and that's all I need today

Perils of automated technologies

2008-04-28T06:47:00.001-07:00

To what ends do we give up our autonomy such that we lose ourselves and become nothing more than an entry in database hosted in some datacenter? Have our lives dwindled down to a mere tape backup only to be reused every 30 days at an off-site? Our families, our friends, our daily activities. All captured through the various calendar and scheduling applications, round the clock, 24/7, 365 days year round.

People we have met along the way. Those that we have hurt, left behind, betrayed, or simply lost track. In an instant, all come back through a simple API that allows anyone to mine through your contacts and extract anyone and everyone's email address.

In a blink of an eye, that one-night-stand that you horribly wanted to forget now receives an email on behalf of a third party "cordially invites" them to reconnect. Or the one that you had a horrible falling out with issues left opened, now receives an email asking them that you somehow want to reconnect because they have been searching for you? Who in the world would want to reconnect with someone whom you consider to be on the lowest rung of the evolutionary food chain?

One user name, one password. In a single moment bring back feelings of a lost love.

Our Fashionista-in-Chief

2008-04-20T12:05:00.000-07:00

For those of you that watched the debacle that was the Democratic Debate last night hosted by ABC, one has to wonder what really is important? While we are at it, we should be wondering who is doing the thinking, and what they are thinking? Since these debates are really for the voters, let's look at some of the questions. To be quite honest, I really couldn't stomach all of the debate. The two things that I did recall from last night were the question of Senator Obama's patriotism and the question of capital gains.

Let's examine the question that I dub now the "Fashionista-in-Chief."

Senator Obama was asked he question why he doesn't wear an American Flag pin. The police wear it. Military service members wear it. President Bush wears it. I think Obama's cousin VP Dick Cheney wears one from time to time. So why doesn't Obama wear one, too? Is it really that hard to pin a little shiny metal on in the morning before he leaves the door? He is American still right? Or is he really a Muslim Manchurian candidate in disguise just waiting for the right moment to enslave us all like the infidels that we are?

"Excuse me Senator, if I may answer this question?" Said the writer.
The writer responds "...The grim fact that $4/gallon of gasoline is upon us. Food prices are sky rocketing through the roof all around the world. Despite our bickering on the existence of global warming or cooling, what is certain is that large amounts of ice caps are melting each year. As more ice melts, sea levels will rise as explained by Archimedes Principle. All that ice that was above the water level, when it melts, it will level out and it will rise. You don't need a graduate degree to know that. Someone that works at McDonalds will know that as they pour more ice tea into your cup, eventually, it will over flow. American citizens are dying each and everyday as we spend one more dollar and one more day in a country that is torn from within and starting a conflict in a region that we culturally do not fully understand and let's be honest, confused. The rich continue to get richer. The poor continue to be poor. The once stable working middle-class are now teetering on verge of financial crisis as the energy costs are trickling into ever facet of American life: from the morning coffee, to the all important job interview. Everything cost money, but more importantly, energy. We need it, we want it, and we just got to have it. And we want it as cheap as possible. So with all these problems in mind, the moderators of ABC sponsored Democratic Debate felt that the Senator Obama's fashion accessory (or in this case lack there of) out-weighed all these issues. But let's not forget, it is very important to present yourself in the best light as possible because when you have money to spend, the last thing you are thinking about is not how much it will cost to fill your H2 Hummer, but how big your tires will be on your H2 Hummer. To be quite honest, when you have money, the only thing you really need to worry about is what not to wear. Clearly, ABC has TLC to thank for that. Let's also remember that a bridge collapsed recently. But that's ok because the H2 Hummer is equipped to go off-road so they will be just fine as they drive right over the crushed Toyota Hybrids."

And what about question to the candidates about Capital Gain? This is very important to the bitter working-class that Senator Obama offended quite harshly just a few weeks ago. People who have lost their jobs and now barely scraping by. Surely these people have a lot to be afraid of because of their ownership in stocks, bonds, precious metals and property to sell that would greatly impact their financial return as the capital gain tax rate is raised. No doubt, we must discuss this important topic that the rest of "bitter Pennsylvania" understand because losing a good job that pays a decent wage is not as important as the financial transaction of selling stocks, bonds, precious metals, and investment properties.

So what did I learn from last night's debate?

Senator Obama appearing on "What not to wear" on TLC would make a great show.
The American middle-class that struggles to pay for $4/gallon gasoline has mch to fear from Senator Barack Obama as he imposes a higher capital gains tax rate. Be careful. The next time you take your precious aluminum cans to the recycling center, Senator Obama is looking to take his 25%-35% cut.

The portability of a BFF

I am not quite sure how to frame the subject of this post, mainly because I have yet obtained all the background information. However, what I have come to realize are the bonds and friendships that exist today are very different those of the previous generation. The so-called friendships of today seem as easily tossed away as the "Made-in-China" electronics we have grown accustomed to over the years. Perhaps I am generalizing because at least from personal experiences, people today make and break these relationships far too quickly and much too often.

Newseum: $20 worth of poor communication

2008-04-11T15:00:00.001-07:00

To whom this may concern at NBC4 (nbc4dc@nbcuni.com),

I am standing in front of the Newseum and have been standing here since 4:30. The museum supposedly closes at 5PM today, but there has not been any communications to the people standing outside (myself included) that they closed early today at 4PM. The management has been unreachable and their PR person was not reachable at her telephone contact. Various indidviduals have came forward to appease the crowd by saying they will try to find a manager. However, it is now almost 6PM and no one has come to adress the crowd.

Just thought I'd send this in.

Update: the crowd feels vindicated by the presence of WTOP. It is interesting how the possibility of voice and expression can raise the spirits of an angry mob. Perhaps it was a good thing that a member of the media came and spoke to the crowd because there was definitely something brewing.

The freedom to express as well as the freedom to capture is something that we use everyday. With the advent of new technology, we push the envelople of these freedoms to new frontiers. The extent to which we can express and how much and of what to capture is something that old media has only began to recognize as a powerful tool. Oh wait, Larry the Manager is coming to meet the mob....

I wonder if Larry knows what he is walking into. And I wonder if I will get myself a free ticket.... Sure would be nice.... :-)

Newseum: poor communication

2008-04-11T14:23:00.000-07:00

Newseum. It is a new museum that opened today here in DC. As I am writing this, I am standing outside its doors along with a large crowd of people who are getting rather frustrated at this so-called "greatest museum.". Several individuals here are from the local media outlets. What makes this interesting is that the museum officially closes at 5PM today. A few minutes ago, an individual came out from the museum and told a few people that doors closed at 4PM. Well, if that is the case, where are the signs? I don't see any signs at all announcing this. The only thing that the people can go on are the writing on the walls that say 5PM.

It is rather interesting to note that this monstrosity of a museum is to demonstrate the greatness of mass communications. Yet, in front of its very own doors, on its opening day, it failed at the most basic of task to deliver a simple message of announcing its early closing.

Luckily, I have the patience of a turtle and I am just standing here. But I find it quite funny that it couldn't even spare a simple sheet of paper to let the people know "Sorry. Closed for the business after 4PM. Come back tomorrow."

Oh well. I guess the little heat didn't help cool the crowd because there sure are some angry folks here. There is an old lady that is crying out "We want justice."

Windows XP on a diet

2008-01-07T21:26:00.000-08:00

Like the rest of America, Windows XP is no different. It's bloated, fat, encumbered, and slow. Why? Just like half its citizens, Americans love to eat. Windows XP is no different. It loves software and it loves to install them and loves to run them. Most are unnecessary and for most users they serve no purpose but to make them feel they got the most bang for their buck.

However, there is some sanity in this fatty world of computing. I present to you my Windows XP. But not just any Windows XP, but Windows XP on diet. In fact, this is actually stock Windows XP with no Service Packs. Neither Service Pack 1 or 2 is installed.

An operating system that was released in 2001, this work horse has yet shown any signs of fatigue. No active anti-virus, but an active version of PeerGuardian2 running. I could go on and on but pictures speaks louder than words.

What you see here is no photoshop. Just the truth, whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Taken with your trusty PrintScr and pasted directly to Microsoft Paint.

Enjoy.

Oh, and did I mention that I go from shutdown, POST, reboot, and login all under 40 seconds?

Citizens for oil

2007-12-28T19:49:00.001-08:00

Well, my apartment currently has no power. Actually, it has some power, but just enough to power a few light bulbs but nothing else. Thankfully, with the usage of my two Verizon Wireless Blackberries (thanks RIM), a Verizon Wireless Kyocera AirCard, a spare Nextel cell phone, a Verizon land line, I am still able to piece together a very ghetto network. Of course, it also helps that I have spare batteries to go with my Blackberry so I can blog away!

So as I lie nestled comfortably under two layers of comforters, I can't help but to wonder, is this what the folks in those "Citizen's for Energy" commercials do? Typically, the humming sounds of my UPS and computers would fill the ambient noise in my room. But tonight, the only sounds I hear are the rain drops crashing aginst my window.

Drip, drip, drip. Oh yes, also the sounds of little blackberry keyboard ticking away at my finger tips. But this is hardly drowning out the rain that I hear coming from the outside.

Back to my simulated "rest of America without heat" experience...

Is this what they do? Day in and day out? Luckily, I was able to wash my face with some warm water that was still in our water heater as well as brush my teeth. But for these folks that have to fend for themselves, is this what the America is about - just getting by? If these people have nothing for heat, and we as a country have no means to provide heat for our own people, just what kind of "inalienable rights" do we have exactly?

Sure, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is good. But if you can't stay warm, it is quite clear to see that you would have a pretty hard time to pursue something when you are frozen to the bone.

We as a nation pour billions upon billons of dollars (whose monetary value is going down the crapper) to defend our country from those who believe that our way of life is pretty fucked up. We have kick ass guns, kick ass vehicles, and a ton a nuclear weapons that can blow any nation off the face of the earth.

Yet, our very own citizens that we claim so dearly in our propaganda that needs defending can barely fight mother nature against her harsh cold winter nights. One look at the streets of DC and strip away the concrete buildings, you would find the same desolation and despair as the streets of Baghdad - homelessness, poverty, crime, violence, disease, and malnutrition. I mean seriously, would you drink the water coming out of the tap in DC?

Oh shit. Power is back on. Guess someone wanted to put the kybosh on my rant. The lights are on and the heater just kicked in. I guess Joe for oil came through once again and I have Venezuela to thank for that. Well, actually it probably is Dominion Power, but I won't tell if you won't tell.

Just something to think about the next time you flip on the light switch or adjust that thermostat on that heater of yours. Which by the way, is made in China.

American Foreign Policy

2007-10-01T23:13:00.001-07:00

One look at the news and one can easily tell that the United States foreign policy is exactly that - foreign. With a capital F for fuck you.

We are currently planning an air strike against a nation that we fear because of their nuclear possibilities.
We do nothing for the country of Myanmar because they have no economic gain for the United States.

These three things - what does that say about United States as a nation?

Democry is paved on the backs of those who can drill the most oil.
Peaceful demonstrations are just that - demonstrations of futility.
Despite what our leaders say of "not living in fear", we fight those individuals whom we fear.

It is in that exact paradigm of "not living in fear" we have lend a hand in the "war on terror" by telling our own so-called enemies to live not in fear. To rise up against us, and fight against us. It is in our exact policy that when we fight, we are not simply fighting those who are against us, but we are fighting ourselves because it was we that have forgotten the true path of the warrior:

"...to perceive and prevent a potential conflict or danger, or to control such a conflict to the extent that no one is hurt, and this by overcoming the real enemy within."
- David Cherubim

While we mourn the loss of american lives, let us not forget peaceful monks whom gave their lives for the people of a nation who is not rich in oil, but rich in the human spirit to live in harmony and in peace.

Having a life

2007-09-27T07:29:00.001-07:00

Between the emails, the work, the commute, sleeping, activities with friends, and not to mention the chores to be done at home... where does one find time for his/her self?

What is the difference between having a life and living one?

Typical phone conversation on the WMATA

2007-09-24T06:44:00.000-07:00

"Hello?"

"Hello? It's me."

"Hey, how are you doing?"

"Can I call you back? I'm on the metro."

"Hello? You're breaking up."

"Can I call you back? Hello? Hello??"

"I am on the metro!"

*call disconnects*

If people know that the calls are going to be disconnected while they are on the metro, what is the purpose of picking up the call in the first place?

James Blunt - Same Mistake

2007-09-22T09:17:00.000-07:00

So while I'm turning in my sheets
And once again, I cannot sleep
Walk out the door and up the street
Look at the stars beneath my feet
Remember rights that I did wrong
So here I go

Hello, hello

There is no place I cannot go
My mind is muddy but
My heart is heavy, does it show
I lose the track that loses me
So here I go

oo oooooo ooo ooo oo oooo...

And so I sent some men to fight,
And one came back at dead of night,
said "Have you seen my enemy?"
said "he looked just like me"
So I set out to cut myself
And here I go

oo oooooo ooo ooo oo oooo...

I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice,
Give me reason, but don't give me choice,
Cos I'll just make the same mistake again,

oo oooooo ooo ooo oo oooo...

And maybe someday we will meet
And maybe talk and not just speak
Don't buy the promises 'cause
There are no promises I keep,
and my reflection troubles me
so here I go

oo oooooo ooo ooo oo oooo...

I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice,
Give me reason, but don't give me choice,
Cos I'll just make the same mistake (REPEAT) again

oo oooooo ooo ooo oo oooo...

So while I'm turning in my sheets

And once again, I cannot sleep

Walk out the door and up the street

Look at the stars

Look at the stars, falling down,

And I wonder where, did I go wrong.

Don't be sad

2007-09-16T20:55:00.000-07:00

Don't be sad.
Be glad.
Be happy.
Don't be sappy.
Don't settle.
Don't fret.
You're still young.
Plenty of sass.
One part sweetness.
Two part sour.
It only takes a smile.
To make me come over.

For you.

The power of twenty-two dollars

2007-08-04T10:40:00.001-07:00

So what can you buy with twenty-two dollars? I am standing at the corner of West Franklin and Adams here in downtown Richmond. I am talking to a friend of mine on gtalk and a man approached me, telling me about his broken down truck with tools and what not. He was willing to have me hold his tools for collateral just so he can borrow a few dollars to get his truck towed and repaired. He was short twenty-two dollars from the collection that he had gathered.

Luckily I had a few spare bucks and I gave him the remaining amount that he desperately needed.

The question now is, did I just get conned? Or was this truly an individual that needed the money? Well, I would like to believe that this 47 year young hard working african american man is a decent man and just needed a little help.

He had asked me for a business card so that he could pay me back, but of course, I am all out of my business card - as if I would carry them in the first place. LOL. I told him that he could make a donation on behalf of the Department of Health and Human Services.

He said thank-you many times over and quickly left for his broken down truck.

I hope Mr Williams was able to put the money to a good use.

Doh!!!

I need a hot guy who can keep up - 26

2007-07-31T20:05:00.000-07:00

By no means am I unattractive, but it does seem like I am attracted to the wrong guys. I like bad boys, I love tattoos, I like playing the game, b/c it is a game. I just can't find the guy to keep my interest long enough. I am not sure what I am looking for, but I like going out and staying. I hate public affection, but I love what goes on behind closed doors. My girlfriend once started responding to ads for me b/c she says I am too picky, so send me a pic and see if I return one. I do have a taste though, so if you are overweight, not white, younger than 26 or older than 36, have children, or are in a relationship please don't respond. Oh and if you have a motorcycle, you already have my heart

A new definition of stealing

2007-07-17T06:32:00.001-07:00

As I was reading my previous post, an idea came to me : What would happen if someone stole your parking ticket?

Is it against the law to steal someone else's parking ticket?

Scenario:

You patrol the city streets. As you walk through the streets, you look for vehicles that has been cited with parking tickets. You could continue on your marry way, or like the sick bastard that you are, steal their parking ticket and the driver of the vehicle will never know. In cities with strict parking violation enforcements, ie booting or towing, how many tickets could be stolen before it made an impact on the system? Who is to say, the city doesn't do that now?

Individuals could steal a ticket just as fast as they give them out. Swoop, and off it goes. "The wind took it." Impound the vehicle, and mandatory back payment on the tickets, and court fees, and a lot of wasted time and effort. All this mayhem could be yours if you only stole every single parking ticket that you see.

Prank? Criminal violation? I don't know.... But it sure does sound pretty wicked that's for sure....

Parking your life away

2007-07-17T06:22:00.001-07:00

So as I sit my ass away at Vienna Metro I get to thinking how many tickets they are going to write this morning for all the people that have illegally parked here because in the Metro's almighty wisdom, they eliminated the over flow parking outside of the South Garage.

Nice!!

What is interesting is that the ticket for the parking violation is $40 while the monthly parking pass for the reserved spot (good until 10am) are $45/month. Keep in mind, this does not include the mandatory $3.75 that one must pay per entry of the gate. LOL.

You and your costly ways WMATA (www.wmata.com)!!!!!

Hahahaha!!! Sounds like someone just got another ticket because their alarm went off. LOL. Tooo funny :-)

Oh man......I just thought of this sick idea.....

But it shall be in the next post ....

The short little girl on the orange line

2007-07-02T05:56:00.001-07:00

Separated by two panes of translucent glass, I can't help but to look in your direction as the Orange Line slowly work its way into the city.

I wonder where you are headed to... I would walk up to you and ask you your name but I am stuck next to a guy and a bunch of morning commuters.

For now I will just have to look at you through these translucent glass and say have a great Monday morning, wherever you're headed to...

Looking for romance and a lot more - 23

2007-07-02T04:01:00.000-07:00

I've been searching the personals for a couple days. I've been afraid to post one because there are a lot of creepy people out there. Yet, the only way to get exactly what I want is to throw it out there, and see what happens.

So here it goes:
I'm going to be really picky because I have a lot to offer, and I'm sick of wasting my time with immature assholes who don't know how to treat a woman. If you didn't already guess, I went from one horrible relationship to another rocky one that lasted too long. So if you are looking for just sex or anything sexual, move on. This post isn't for you.

First, please be 24-27 years of age. White, single and yes, male. Please be over 5'9 because I'm tired of not being able to wear heels. And I look really good in heels. Thin, slender, or athletic build. Drug free, smoke free. If not, I won't even consider you.

Please be mature, at least somewhat. I can be a big goof sometimes, but I can also be mature when needed. Please do not live with your parents. Rent/own your own place. Preferably have your own car. Have a job. Please be out of college, at least undergrad. If you are getting a graduate degree, I applaud you as I am trying to go to law school soon. As long as you can have an adult relationship and handle your classes, I'm fine with it. Yes, I'm looking for an adult relationship, possibly long-term if we click.

Normal things: please be smart, funny, cute, sweet and romantic. I'm a hopeless romantic who would like a guy to plan a night out every once in awhile. Something with candlelight and dancing. If you can dance, BIG plus for you. Big gestures are always good, but the sweet little things count with me just as much. Please know how to treat a lady. I don't want to have to train you to open a door for me. Give me some hope that men aren't dogs that need to be trained. I had to train the last two guys, and I'm burnt out.

With that said, if you can dance (mentioned earlier), sing, play the piano, guitar or even the violin, those are big pluses. These are not required as I would be cutting out ALOT of guys. Hey, I believe everyone can sing if given a little will. If you have a love of music, where you can listen to a song and just get carried away with it, that's a plus. It can take you away to another place and change the way you feel and how your day is going.

Please be confident, but not egotistical (yes I cut out about half of you...ha). I don't need your insecurities constantly messing up the relationship.

In return, you'll get a committed (very hard to find these days) woman who is smart, funny, college-educated, has a job with decent pay. I have my own place. I'm drug free, smoke free. I used to dance, and would love to get back into it. I'm not tone deaf, but I'm no American Idol. I would like a challenge as I can challenge you. If you can win my heart, I will enjoy all your imperfections as if they were mine. I'm always right, and when I'm wrong, I'm still right and can laugh at my mistakes. Haha. I can be very devoted to you as well as sweet. I also like to do romantic things to make you feel special. I want you to know I'm thinking of you just as much as you are thinking of me. Am I girly and like girly things: yes. Do I enjoy a good action movie: yes and have probably seen more than you. Do I enjoy going to bars/clubs: every once in awhile. I'm a dinner/movie girl. But my favorite thing is to probably curl up on the couch and watch a movie.

Why Craig's List you ask me: Because it's hard for me to find good guys who don't just like me because I'm pretty. I want to make a connection to know that the guy isn't just staying with me because he'll never get anything better. Because it's DC, and it's hard to meet people. Because guys seem to only want one thing when you meet them in a bar. I'm just not into that.

So if you are still reading: I'm 5'7" white 23 year-old female. Fair complexion. Brown hair, brown eyes. thin and slender. Can I run a marathon: no. Can I run: yes. If you like junk in the trunk, I'm not your girl. Think petite. And yes, I can be gorgeous. I choose to think of myself as a real person though, down to earth, laid back, ready to move my life to the next step. To stop waiting.

So we'll see what happens. Please send a picture. I know this sounds superficial, but I'm trying to weed out all the psychos. If you send me something where you don't have your clothes on, I will spam your ass, and possibly report you (and your gross picture) to the proper authorities.

Please be kind. I'm going to bed, and hopefully, I'll wake up with the perfect guy if there is such a thing. Have a great night. Thanks for reading.

*takes a breath...here we go*

I don't capitalize

2007-07-01T20:53:00.001-07:00

I don't capitalize
I don't rationalize
I don't familiarize
I don't patronize

I won't lie
I don't fry
I can't mime
I will pine

So what shall I write,
That will earn me a prize.
Surely this rhyme.
won't be suffice.

But at least I can dream.
Even it's for a next time.

Never drink and blog with a blackberry

2007-06-30T16:52:00.000-07:00

Wow. Never drink and blog at the same time, especially when you don't drink a lot and still have to stare down the tiny little screen on a moving vehicle that we all call the WMATA Metro Car.

I went back and read some of the stuff that I wrote and I have to say....I must have been crazy tired.

Maybe I'll blog some more later. For now...it's time for some dindin!

U Street and the girl that sent me home

2007-06-29T21:54:00.001-07:00

I could talk about how it all started but why don't I just start from the very end and work my way back. Actually, it isn't that important to work my way back completely but just the good parts will suffice.

"I'm sorry but I have to send you home."

Can't say that I have heard that one before but I guess it was only time that I will hear some new things. At least she didn't give me the cold shoulder but I guess that is better than nothing.

Interesting woman to say the least. A smoker, yet I could not tell that she smoked. Kind of a flirt! Considering that her 34d's were wrapped by 34c bras. LOL. It also didn't help that she wore a low cut and very revealing t-shirt...hahahah.

Our conversations were going well and I don't think we had any awkward pauses. I believe that she was having a good time. Then out of the blue she told me "I think you should kiss me."

At this point I was floored. The last time a girl asked me to kiss her, which was never...and here it is on a random Friday night.... A girl that I had just me, decided to meet face to face, and now is sitting across from me and TELLING me to kiss her.

Needless to say when she said that she was sorry for having to send me home. I felt kind of bad.

But not so bad though. Maybe I was tired and I didn't care really. Though not so much that I was discarded like a contestant that didn't get a rose....but just disappointed that she had wanted me to go home... But had to repeat it over and over. Yet even between her many requests to go home she had kissed me several times on my face and neck.

How does one respond to that?

She wants me to leave - yet she wants to kiss me....

If there was a time I could use a Venutian library of women behaior, right now would the perfact time.

So what's one to do?

Take it one day at a time, continue my little blog entries, and who knows.... May I'll
earn my first million when I have displayed enough ads

LOL.

Well, I am super tired, on the metro, AND still have to drive. Fun fun fun!!!
