Before You Vote
America is supposed to be a free country. Freedom is what our
country was founded upon. I am very troubled by people, especially
politicians, whose agenda is to take away the freedoms many have worked
so hard to attain. I also have a big issue with the so-called "moral"
people, specifically religious zealots who claim to be good and pure and
who claim to do "god's work," while denying others' freedoms.
As we all know, there is an election coming up in a few months, and we have a very big decision to make about who we choose to run our country. I am not especially pleased at what Obama has done in his three-and-a-half years as President. I think he might have done more to get us out of the gigantic hole that George W. got us into. But I am truly fearful of what will happen if Romney is elected.
Romney has stated he will repeal Roe v. Wade, which means abortion will be illegal in this country. ALL ABORTION. While many people, especially Catholics, might think this is a good thing, it isn't. Making abortion illegal does not change the nature of humans. People still have sex, and sometimes unplanned pregnancy will occur. It's always been this way. Throughout history, women have gotten pregnant out of wedlock, or in a marriage but unable to care for a child. Whether it be through marriage, promiscuity, rape or incest, unplanned pregnancy happens. It is a fact of human nature. How many of us alive today are a product of unplanned pregnancy? Or an older sibling is? I was certainly unplanned. How many of us do not know someone who was the result of an unplanned pregnancy? And for you religious people, Jesus was unplanned.
The thing is, abortions will happen. If abortion is proclaimed illegal, women will die in an attempt to obtain one. In the past, desperate women would go to so-called back room "doctors" to get illegal abortions. I remember seeing a documentary where a woman was heartbroken over the death of her sister, because the sister had died during an illegal abortion. I can still see the photograph in my mind, as clear as if it were yesterday, of a woman, nude, in an unnatural position, on her face and knees, where she had been in position for the abortion, something went wrong, and she died and was later discovered in that position. I just looked it up. The woman's name was Gerri Santoro, and I'll include a link to the page with her photograph. I won't post the photo itself, because it is quite disturbing. If abortion becomes illegal, deaths like Ms. Santoro's will happen again. But next time, it might not be a stranger in a motel room. It might be your sister or your daughter. Before taking the drastic step to end legal abortions, you absolutely MUST consider what will happen to desperate women all across America.

Taking away the right of a woman to choose what happens to her own body is ludicrous. If men carried pregnancies, there would never be a question of abortion, because men write most of the laws in this country. As a woman, it angers me to think some small-minded people wish to take away my right to do anything! Of course we need laws in this country, but laws should move a society forward, toward understanding and tolerance, rather than moving people apart for their differences.
Romney also states he will repeal the law that forces insurance companies to pay for birth control. So he wants to take away a woman's right to birth control, then if she gets pregnant, she'll be forced to give birth to a child she didn't want in the first place? What's next? Take away women's right to vote? We've just lost 92 years of progress in one fell swoop! Women already make eighty cents to the one dollar that a man makes, for the same job. And we have to fight harder to achieve it (no matter how smart we are), and we often have to put up with men who belittle us, slap us on the fanny, make us get the coffee, etc.
Did you know that most insurance companies will pay for Viagra for a man (or my favorite, the Pos-T-Vac: See previous post about that one), so that he can get an erection, but they fight not to provide birth control for women? How absurd is that? Make sure you get your woman knocked up, y'all!
Repeal Roe v. Wade and take away the birth control requirement: Create illegal abortions, maimed or murdered women, unwanted children, abused children, in a world that is already so overpopulated, it's about to burst at the seams!
If you are Catholic or otherwise religious, and are opposed to abortion or birth control, don't have an abortion or use birth control, but please don't try to force your personal views on every other woman in America. Please don't try to force us to follow your religious teachings. We have our own minds and morals and we must be allowed to choose our own correct paths. Think how you would feel to be forced to do something against your will. It's akin to the rape of our freedoms. Please don't take away the freedoms we've worked so hard to achieve. Please.
I realize, in all likelihood, I will not have changed many minds, but I hope, above all else, that I've given you something to seriously think about before you mark your ballot.
Please be good to each other and please embrace our differences. What a boring world it would be without all the colors in the box of Crayolas!

Dating Ads
As a single adult, I occasionally read or even post dating ads on Craigslist. I have met only a handful of men this way, and nothing much to speak about: It's seldom gone past a first meeting, but you never know if you'll meet someone who could become a good friend, so I'm open to the idea. Not long ago, I wrote an ad to all men, essentially begging them to write better ads and letters:
--------------------------------------------------------
"To: ALL MEN - 45 (Sparks)
To all the men who post: Only about 10% of the readers of the Craigslist personals are women. If you want a woman to respond to your ad, you have to write something that grabs her attention.
Don't say general things such as:
"I want someone cute." "I want someone attractive"... Those terms are meaningless, as beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And since many women don't believe they are beautiful, they won't answer your ad.
"I want someone hwp". Do you realize that 60% of women aren't? And the ones who are, probably aren't looking on Craigslist.
If you ask for perfection... hwp, thin, attractive, smart, funny, has a job, a house and a car... then you'd better be perfect too.
If you are a serious guy, say so. If you're funny, say so.
Saying "I like to have fun" means nothing. Different people have different ideas of fun.
Saying a woman must send a picture first is a bad thing. We can be frightened or hurt by men, and we would like to see what you look like first, so we can feel assured that you don't look like a serial killer (trust me, I've seen plenty of those here.)
List some of your favorite activities that you might like to share with a woman.
Don't gripe about all the women who have done you wrong, don't call your ex a bitch, and don't ask that the woman has no baggage. Everyone has baggage, including you. Women are more accepting of your baggage than you are of ours.
DO:
Write at least one full paragraph, preferably two or three. A large number of men here post one or two sentences and expect someone to answer the ad. We won't. We will answer the ad of the man who tells us about himself, whose ad makes us laugh or smile.
If you post a picture, make sure you are smiling, that the picture is right side up, and that you don't look crazy in it. Best not to post the pic of you at your buddy's bachelor party. If you want love, don't post a pic of you naked or even half naked. Make sure we can see your face clearly. This also goes for pics emailed to responders of the ad.
But whatever you do:
SAY SOMETHING that makes you different from all the rest of the men here.
PROOFREAD AND SPELL CHECK. I personally won't answer an ad if most of the words are misspelled or if the ad doesn't make sense. Have someone proof it for you, or at least run spell check. And there is a difference between women and woman. They are not interchangeable.
And my best advice is, ask a female friend to read it before you post it, and even ask her to write it for you.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU!"
--------------------------------------------------------
Funny, I mistyped my own age. Oops. But not that it matters in this instance really, since I wasn't trying to find a date. :D
Anyhow, you wouldn't believe how many men wrote to me, telling me how women are worse than men, although in research for writing, I have viewed other women's ads and we are much more likely to write a better ad than men (statistically speaking). Today I got a letter responding to this ALL MEN post. Please try to refrain from laughing. I dare you!
--------------------------------------------------------
"You are completely right on everything you posted! But that goes both ways! The very things you are talking about men doing or not doing are the same things I see women doing on here. Do you think men can't be hurt by what a woman says or does? If you do your wrong! Real men do have feelings to! I don't like ads with miss spelled words or abbreviated words! I personally think it shows a lack of carrying! As not everyone knows what your saying when you abbreviate several words together with a few letters! In my opinion that's the same as miss spelling words!
So basically what I'm saying to you and all women is practice what you preach!"
--------------------------------------------------------
I decided to color the misspelled or misused words and the odd statement that I'm not quite sure what he means, just for fun. Yes, because I'm just that mean. I am always amused when people misspell the word "misspell." Yep, practice what you preach. :D
Anyhow, enjoy the fodder and be thankful if you are in a relationship and don't have to deal with this crazy dating pool.
Sigh.

Advertising Annoyances
It's one of those days. I can't sleep, even though I'm so sleepy. The TV is on and certain commercials just irritate the heck out of me. Especially the ones where the narrator mispronounces a word.
Today's offenders:
The first is for the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute, where the host says he wants to excape. I kid you not. You'd think that English is his second language, but sadly, no, he has no accent.
The second is for Humira (a drug) and mentions seeing a "gastroinnerologist." I listen to it again and again, and never do I hear a "t" which would make it the actual word, "gastroenterologist."
The Marinello Beauty School ads (in general). The new one features an "interviewer" who speaks English rather poorly, and when she says, "Turning dreams into reality" it sounds like she says, "Turning rims into reality."
An older ad asks, "How do you say 'Marinello'?" You just told me. The question should be something like, "How do you say, 'beauty'?" Then it would make sense.
I don't understand why it's become so popular to feature narrators/actors in commercials who have speech impediments. I see more and more of them. Isn't the point of most ads to make the product look good, to put the best foot forward? How does a speech impediment do that exactly? And the trend for actors who speak in a nasally, whiney tone just irritates the heck out of my ears. I just don't understand why... why... WHY they think it sounds good. It was funny when Lily Tomlin talked like that as Ernestine the telephone operator, but it's not funny or cute for actors to talk that way in a commercial. Please stop that trend!
I'm always amazed at a certain local restaurant who advertises they sell Expressos. It's spelled correctly on the screen, but they've had numerous ads where the announcers (some male, some female) all say "Expresso" when it should be "Espresso."
Charter cable TV has an ad that claims it costs "Four times less" than... whatever. And I noticed another commercial stating that you use "Three times less" detergent or whatever they are selling. While technically there is a mathematical answer to 4 times less, it really shouldn't be used in this way. It would make more sense to everyone to just say, "One quarter the amount," as opposed to "Four times less. (Technically, four times less means one fifth, not one quarter.)
And when did it become popular in commercials to use the word "less" when it should be "fewer"? Less is a measure of volume, fewer is a measure of quantity. There aren't "less germs," but there are fewer germs.
I guess they are all better than the late-night ads for the Pos-T-Vac, penis sucking machine. I have all but stopped watching "Quantum Leap" at night because of the offensive ad. I just don't get why any man would actually go on TV and tell people his penis doesn't work. "I'm like 'Wow, this really works'" claims one man. And medicare will pay for it if you qualify. Of course they will: Men write the laws for the most part. Every man wants a machine that sucks his penis. (That's how it works, in case you think I'm joking.) There is one guy in the ad that has a really bad toupee and he couldn't smile any bigger if he tried. He just creeps me out, reminds me of a guy who might hang out near schools and molest small children. Just picture him sitting in his car, watching the children while his penis is stuck in the Pos-T-Vac. Yeech... *shiver*
The other day I heard (I was in the kitchen so I didn't see it) a commercial that was for some sort of erectile dysfunction product, I don't remember if it was a drug or a device, and it actually said, "It makes him so hard." OMG. They didn't just say that on TV, did they? Oh yes they did, and they kept repeating it. I actually came back in and turned the TV channel. Children could be watching that!
On a happier note, I just realized that the new FreeCreditReport.com ad has the original band, featuring Eric Violette, returning to claim its rightful place. I never did care much for the second band, and Eric is so adorable, he makes me actually want to watch the commercial. I just wish they didn't have the band singing in the overproduced, hip-hop-y, crappy style they usually do.
And while I'm talking commercials, I have to say I like the Allstate "Mayhem Man." He cracks me up. And I love the Geico piggy. So full of glee... Wheeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

Want Some Whine With That?
Tony Harnell, former lead vocalist for the 80s band, TNT, posted on Facebook about how frustrating it is when you're a rock star and people don't cater to you and do exactly what you want them to. He works so hard, and people should do as he wishes. Unfortunately, I didn't copy it down, but that's basically what he was saying. He said he was venting.
Years ago, I was a big fan, and wrote to him probably every week. I was young and stupid, didn't think about how freaky it must be to have people send you letters as if they knew you personally. I never attempted to meet him, but I did do one crazy thing: I lived in the state in which he was born, and this was way back before we'd ever heard of stalkers, so I bought a copy of his birth certificate, so I could get the time of day he was born to do a natal astrology report. OK, it's over the top, and you can't do that these days, laws have changed, but it was a way to connect with the singer I almost worshiped. But after I got the information from it, I didn't need the birth certificate anymore, so I mailed it to him. And he actually called me, which at the time I thought was the coolest thing ever, but later realized he probably called to make sure I wasn't a legitimate threat. And I was pretty much over him by that time anyway. I stopped writing to him shortly after.
So back to my story...
Yesterday he posted and whined about how he's not treated right... blah blah blah, whine whine whine. Most of the fan comments were like, "Oh you poor thing" and "I know you work so hard. You deserve so much better." I wrote that he shouldn't complain when there are people who work much harder than he does and will never have the success he's had. I wrote a lot more, but that was my point.
His fans all disagreed with me, but not too big a surprise, really, since it's his fan page. A few postings later, I'd had it with his whining and "shared" what he said on my own Facebook page, for all my friends to read what a whiny... he is... Although I didn't swear or anything.
He didn't like that, I guess, so Big Man that he is, he removed the entire posting and posted this in its place:

actually almost had to contact the authorities about some 20+ years ago.
They've been banned for safety and security reasons. I will from now on
have to be more careful about what and how I post. Such a shame as you
have all come to know me as honest and real. I'll do my best, but this
one freaked me out big time. Love, TH"
I like that, "banned for safety and security reasons". Of course, not because I was speaking the truth. I'm actually highly amused at what a panty-waste he is. How did I ever like him in the first place? No wonder he's not more famous than he is. How many of you reading this have ever HEARD of him? Other than Shawn, who knows who everyone is. :D

Martabating And Daryl's House
When I was in school in Atlanta (1992), I knew a DJ, Blake aka Bladerunner. He was, and still is, a creative guy, and had this song, "Martabating." And he made a video, which I was lucky enough to be involved in the making of, although due to me being camera shy, I'm not in the video. If you watch the video (see list of links), forgive the nudity, I was NOT there for those parts, and was very surprised when I saw the final cut at the premiere. No, I'm not a prude, but I don't think it was actually necessary.
When the band is on what looks like a large rock, that's on top of Stone Mountain near Atlanta, and the band is Mess of Bones, which I find interesting since my old friend, SuSu, knew the band from when they were in Alabama, and well, small world. The parts on the Marta trains was a blast, and I actually intended to be in the video, but when we got onto the train, they went to the right and I went to the left, so I'm right behind the cameraman. The other friends on the train were all really nice, although I didn't know them well. Hung out with Jaymz and Whoremoan a few times.
Some bad things happened in Atlanta, mainly having to do with a couple of "friends" stabbing me in the back, but we did some crazy stuff and most of the time I had a blast. Blake and his group were always fun, met several rock stars, and we were always doing something.
* * * * * * * * *
I have discovered a new show on TV, and it is also a web program, called "Live From Daryl's House." It stars Daryl Hall, and he has a different musical guest each week. I don't always watch, depends upon the guest, but if you like music, it's a find.
I guess I could say I owe much of my musical education to Mr. Hall, since I saw Hall & Oates hosting "The Midnight Special" back when I was twelve (1978). They went inside a recording studio, and that was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. I thought he was gorgeous, and I was hooked on him and the show. I don't think I ever missed an episode from then on. I even managed to get my mom to watch with me sometimes. It was a great show, and I'm going to have to go watch some episodes on Hulu soon. So many bands and comedians made appearances and I'm sure I saw acts that most other kids my age had never even heard of. I still love so many of them today. Ahh, back in the day when Rock 'n Roll was really Rock 'n Roll...

Missing...
I originally started this blog to post my daily thoughts and interesting things I see or find, then I took a bit of a break from it. So I'm planning to start up again, and stick to it this time.
I've been feeling a bit (a lot) melancholy lately, missing some people from my past. It started when I decided to add a video to my Vevo playlist, but the video I wanted wasn't available, so I searched for it and ended up at Youtube. The video was Trixter's "Give It To Me Good," btw. So I started a playlist, and started adding songs, and found a video for Eric Carmen's old song, "Hey Deanie." Which made me think of a guy I used to know back in junior high, er... middle school. His name was Robert, and he was the "Yard duty supervisor." Sort of a babysitter on the playground at lunchtime. I was a bit of a weird kid, and told him my name was Deanie, because of the song. He was in college and I was in sixth grade, and I was so crazy about him. My friends and I would mostly hang out with him and talk. He knew I liked him, it was rather obvious, but he was always so cool about it. He never made me feel like he didn't want me around. He worked at the school at least partway through my eighth grade year, and he was my friend. Really a friend. Some guys might have taken advantage of the situation, but he never crossed the line. He graduated college, though, and went on with his life.
About eleven years later, my sister and I were shopping at a department store, and my sister asked me, "Isn't that the guy you liked in junior high?" Lo and behold, it was him. We chatted for a few minutes, but his boss was near so he couldn't talk long. We exchanged email addresses, but when I went to contact him, I'd remembered his address wrong and couldn't find him. I never saw or heard from him again. A few years ago, I was walking home from the bus stop and it's vague, but I saw a truck parked at a house, and it had his last name on the truck... some sort of business sign. I asked the man with the truck if he knew Robert, and he said he was his brother. I asked about Robert, and was told he'd moved back east. I asked that he pass on the message that I'd asked about him and the man said he would. As I was walking away, Robert's father asked the man (Robert's brother), "Why'd you tell her that?" I thought that meant he had no intention of telling Robert about it, but didn't think too much about it.
So I added the song to my playlist and thought about Robert and wondered what became him, so I started searching the internet for him. I'm not a member of the pay sites where you find people, so it was difficult to find anything. But I found one thing: A death record. I didn't know for sure if it was him, but then I remembered talking to his brother, and it made sense. He died in 1997, and I had no idea. What started out as this wonderful idea of finding my friend turned into something I never expected, and was horrified to learn. I have no idea what happened to him, he wasn't that old, I can't find anything about it, not even an obituary. I guess it isn't important how, anyway. It just really hit me hard. He was a sweet person, and I will miss him forever.
In my melancholy, I started looking for other people from my past. Another video, another search, and I discovered the lead singer from SouthGang, Jesse Harte, (look them up) has a new band called Bloody Red Hearts, which I think is great. I met him a few times, a really sweet guy. Which led to me searching (for like the dozenth time) for another old friend, Blake, who introduced me to Jesse, and this search actually found him. I sent him a message and hope he'll write back.
So I've had a very up-and-down week as far as old friends go. Let's hope the coming week is on the happier side of things.
Treasure the people you love, and make sure you tell them often how you feel about them. And be good to each other.

One Conceited Man
On a dating site, I received this message (followed by my response and then his response to me, and the quotes from his profile. I really don't get it. He looks like a model from magazines, literally, although I don't really find him attractive. Just not my type. ButI had to share this with... someone, so why not share it with everyone?
(To me from him:)
Nice photo and profile you have.
Hope this site is treating you well.
Tom

After reading your profile, I am very confused. While I think some of your statements are true ("Why do all the chefs on 'Hell's Kitchen' smoke?"), I think a lot of what you wrote is intended to make others feel inferior to you. I'm an intelligent person, I know what a gaffer and a best boy do and I didn't have to look it up. I happened to study video production. (They are both electricians, the best boy being the head electrician.) Your statement about no one actually being allergic to smoke is, in fact, wrong. Something doesn't have to technically be classified as an allergen in order for someone to be allergic to it. I am allergic to smoke and have a physical reaction when exposed to it.
I am curious why you wrote to me, since you seem to be looking for perfection, and I am clearly not perfect. My picture isn't very good, I'm fat, I have cats, I'm an atheist, I never drink, and I absolutely do not think I'm better than other people. Although I do have pretty good grammar and spelling and wish others did, too.

Hi Denise,
Sorry I confused you. I was mearly saying hello. As to your assumption that my goal on OkCupid is to make others feel inferior - that's just incorrect. I assure you, if I wanted to make people feel that way - I could, lol. Besides, posting on a dating website would be a rather inefficient way to do it. I am a fortunate man in many ways - all of which I earned.
I also what a "gaffer" and "best boy" are. I wasn't really asking for someone to shed light on that. They're funny names. Simple. Don't you think so? Maybe you just don't find me very humerous, lol.
No, I am in fact - not wrong :) ...while you certainly might have a reaction to "smoke" - you are not allergic to it. This is something that many physicians disagree on. Think of it like this. You'd also have a reaction if a wasp stung you (everyone would). Your cardinal symptoms would probably not differ from the majority of people. However, some of those stung would go into anaphylactic shock. If you'd like, I can provide you with documentation from one of the nations leading Allergist. This is not disputed. He happens to agree with me. Some people are just more sensitive to things than others.
You have me confused as well. What does the fact that you're owned by cats have to do with anything? Where did I state that I'm seeking perfection? Or was that just the conclusion you garnered from reading my profile? Clearly, your impression is that I think I am better than other people. I might not disagree with that. However, it's not pompous. Your usage of grammar and correct spelling is applauded. Do you think that's by chance? Do you think you were born that way? No. In that respect you are better than most. That's just a fact. You stated that you're "full figured". That wasn't a secret...and yes, you should have a larger photo. But, that's none of my business...that's just my opinion. The fact that you claim to be an atheist (a serious one, lol) would in fact prevent us from being a romantic match. I knew that. I also prefer someone who enjoys an adult beverage. Although, I didn't think it would have been an issue saying "Hi".
Tom
_________________________________
His profile: I dare you to get through it without vomiting. That is, if you can get through it at all, as it is literally the longest profile I have ever seen on any dating site:
My self-summary
Everything I've said up to this point is accurate. I am truly uncomplicated. A confident, genuine guy who has a zest for life. I've made a successful career for myself - one that allows me to enjoy my passions. I am well traveled as my work has taken me all over the world. A partner in crime is something that I desire. I'll try anything twice. Except for watching "Glee". I wouldn't do that even once!
I'm a proponent of the Oxford comma.
I have expectations. To the consternation of some men, you should too.
I don't date women who are in "school" or that use microwaves.
::SLANTED.MUSINGS::
You're not allergic to smoke. It can be an irritant, but, it's not an allergen. Just because you don't like something doesn't make you allergic to it. That's akin to me saying, "I'm allergic to liberals".
I like a woman whose parts are OEM.
Differing from many, I don't have a problem with the price of gasoline. Actually, I wish it would go up a bit more. Higher cost = less drivers. Instead of complaining - do something about it...invest in a petroleum company.
A Profile Observation: If you only have one [1] photo posted - and it has two [2] or more pl bod·ies in it - please state which figure you reside in. Making a guess could hurt feelings. Also, while on the subject of photos - please have one.
It's physically impossible for you to lick your elbow.
The "Awards Program" here is a bit too touchy-feely for me. I don't accept them. Not that I don't appreciate kind gestures. I just find it a bit puerile.
Concerning tattoos: Not really a fan. Although, If you have one strategically placed...the type you don't get in prison with a "Bic" pen and a sewing needle - that's a little different. Those are easier to sand off.
Almost everyone who reads this will try to lick their elbow.
I like pierced ears...but, I'm not keen on the Padaung Tribe Neck Rings.

The first things people usually notice about me
Not to be braggart - but, lets just say I've been called a bipedal eukaryote more than a few times. I have a highly developed brain. One that is capable of abstract reasoning, developed language, introspection, as well as problem solving. Subsequently, my taxon identifier is 9606.
Although, if I'm disrobed, people (meaning female people) usually notice that I have a tiny dime sized light colored circular mark on my upper thigh. I explain that this is only a group of malformed pigment cells. Also known as a birthmark in the contiguous United States.

I spend a lot of time thinking about
• Change. Specifically the type so many Americans yearned for in 2008. I think about how our "record breaking" President Barack Hussein Obama II delivered just what was promised! Under his watch:
- For the 1st time ever the US Sovereign Debt was downgraded.
- The highest level of government spending since WW2 (25% of the (GDP) economy).
- The highest budget deficit since WW2 (10% of the (GDP) economy).
- The lowest level of employment since 1983 - the participation rate (58.1% of population working).
- The proportion of people who are long-term unemployed (45.9% of the total = 6 months or more w/o a job). The highest rate since the 1930's.
• The ephemeral joys of childhood.
• Why 85% of the United States Federal Income Taxes are paid by 5% of the people. While almost 50% of Americans pay nothing at all!
• Cake.
• The Mexican Submarine. Does it exist? ...and speaking of submarines - why are all the women on UniVision blonde?
• I'll preface this comment with: I like milk. But, to answer the question: What people must have thought of the first guy to drink (cow) milk. I imagine he was considered the village freak. Although, there had to be a 1'st...and what series of events did it take for him to go from «watching baby cows do it» to «getting under one and doing it himself» ?
• The Knights Templar †
• Frozen flavored cream.
• Should the Nineteenth Amendment be repealed? ;)
• Coercion, after all, (it) merely captures man. Freedom captivates him.
• If you have sex with a prostitute against her will - is it considered rape or shoplifting?
• (○)(○)
• Why people who are on the ground pay money to go up to the top of tall buildings - and then put more money in stationary binoculars to look at things on the ground?
• Robots.
• Why would a woman give (even) a semi-accurate estimation of her personal income on a public profile?
• The Illuminati.
• Why does every contestant on Hell's Kitchen smoke? Is that a prerequisite or something?
• The Chilean Model for privatized Social Security.
• Gravy.
• As soon as I think about thinking of something I'll put it here.
On a typical Friday night I am
Pondering the age of entitlement that's upon us. Watching episodes of Miami Ink on Hulu Plus while eating akutaq.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
01] I've never been married - and have no children.
02] I'm addicted to water...it's like I have to drink it every day.
03] Unfunded mandates are illegal - 10th Amendment.
04] I think most people are idiots.
05] When I'm in a hotel room the TV never gets turned off.
06] Naughty = Good
07] Pessimism is the Bodyguard of Socialism.

After reading your profile, I am very confused. While I think some of your statements are true ("Why do all the chefs on 'Hell's Kitchen' smoke?"), I think a lot of what you wrote is intended to make others feel inferior to you. I'm an intelligent person, I know what a gaffer and a best boy do and I didn't have to look it up. I happened to study video production. (They are both electricians, the best boy being the head electrician.) Your statement about no one actually being allergic to smoke is, in fact, wrong. Something doesn't have to technically be classified as an allergen in order for someone to be allergic to it. I am allergic to smoke and have a physical reaction when exposed to it.
I am curious why you wrote to me, since you seem to be looking for perfection, and I am clearly not perfect. My picture isn't very good, I'm fat, I have cats, I'm an atheist, I never drink, and I absolutely do not think I'm better than other people. Although I do have pretty good grammar and spelling and wish others did, too.

Hi Denise,
Sorry I confused you. I was mearly saying hello. As to your assumption that my goal on OkCupid is to make others feel inferior - that's just incorrect. I assure you, if I wanted to make people feel that way - I could, lol. Besides, posting on a dating website would be a rather inefficient way to do it. I am a fortunate man in many ways - all of which I earned.
I also what a "gaffer" and "best boy" are. I wasn't really asking for someone to shed light on that. They're funny names. Simple. Don't you think so? Maybe you just don't find me very humerous, lol.
No, I am in fact - not wrong :) ...while you certainly might have a reaction to "smoke" - you are not allergic to it. This is something that many physicians disagree on. Think of it like this. You'd also have a reaction if a wasp stung you (everyone would). Your cardinal symptoms would probably not differ from the majority of people. However, some of those stung would go into anaphylactic shock. If you'd like, I can provide you with documentation from one of the nations leading Allergist. This is not disputed. He happens to agree with me. Some people are just more sensitive to things than others.
You have me confused as well. What does the fact that you're owned by cats have to do with anything? Where did I state that I'm seeking perfection? Or was that just the conclusion you garnered from reading my profile? Clearly, your impression is that I think I am better than other people. I might not disagree with that. However, it's not pompous. Your usage of grammar and correct spelling is applauded. Do you think that's by chance? Do you think you were born that way? No. In that respect you are better than most. That's just a fact. You stated that you're "full figured". That wasn't a secret...and yes, you should have a larger photo. But, that's none of my business...that's just my opinion. The fact that you claim to be an atheist (a serious one, lol) would in fact prevent us from being a romantic match. I knew that. I also prefer someone who enjoys an adult beverage. Although, I didn't think it would have been an issue saying "Hi".

His profile: I dare you to get through it without vomiting. That is, if you can get through it at all, as it is literally the longest profile I have ever seen on any dating site:
My self-summary
Everything I've said up to this point is accurate. I am truly uncomplicated. A confident, genuine guy who has a zest for life. I've made a successful career for myself - one that allows me to enjoy my passions. I am well traveled as my work has taken me all over the world. A partner in crime is something that I desire. I'll try anything twice. Except for watching "Glee". I wouldn't do that even once!
I'm a proponent of the Oxford comma.
I have expectations. To the consternation of some men, you should too.
I don't date women who are in "school" or that use microwaves.
::SLANTED.MUSINGS::
You're not allergic to smoke. It can be an irritant, but, it's not an allergen. Just because you don't like something doesn't make you allergic to it. That's akin to me saying, "I'm allergic to liberals".
I like a woman whose parts are OEM.
Differing from many, I don't have a problem with the price of gasoline. Actually, I wish it would go up a bit more. Higher cost = less drivers. Instead of complaining - do something about it...invest in a petroleum company.
A Profile Observation: If you only have one [1] photo posted - and it has two [2] or more pl bod·ies in it - please state which figure you reside in. Making a guess could hurt feelings. Also, while on the subject of photos - please have one.
It's physically impossible for you to lick your elbow.
The "Awards Program" here is a bit too touchy-feely for me. I don't accept them. Not that I don't appreciate kind gestures. I just find it a bit puerile.
Concerning tattoos: Not really a fan. Although, If you have one strategically placed...the type you don't get in prison with a "Bic" pen and a sewing needle - that's a little different. Those are easier to sand off.
Almost everyone who reads this will try to lick their elbow.
I like pierced ears...but, I'm not keen on the Padaung Tribe Neck Rings.

(Denise's note: OMG he's using Morse code. I am now shaking my head. By the way, I decoded it and it reads: WHEN DECANTING WINE MAKE SURE THAT YOU TILT THE PAPER CUP AND POUR SLOWLY SO AS NOT TO BRUISE THE FRUIT OF THE WINE.)

The first things people usually notice about me
Not to be braggart - but, lets just say I've been called a bipedal eukaryote more than a few times. I have a highly developed brain. One that is capable of abstract reasoning, developed language, introspection, as well as problem solving. Subsequently, my taxon identifier is 9606.
Although, if I'm disrobed, people (meaning female people) usually notice that I have a tiny dime sized light colored circular mark on my upper thigh. I explain that this is only a group of malformed pigment cells. Also known as a birthmark in the contiguous United States.

I spend a lot of time thinking about
• Change. Specifically the type so many Americans yearned for in 2008. I think about how our "record breaking" President Barack Hussein Obama II delivered just what was promised! Under his watch:
- For the 1st time ever the US Sovereign Debt was downgraded.
- The highest level of government spending since WW2 (25% of the (GDP) economy).
- The highest budget deficit since WW2 (10% of the (GDP) economy).
- The lowest level of employment since 1983 - the participation rate (58.1% of population working).
- The proportion of people who are long-term unemployed (45.9% of the total = 6 months or more w/o a job). The highest rate since the 1930's.
• The ephemeral joys of childhood.
• Why 85% of the United States Federal Income Taxes are paid by 5% of the people. While almost 50% of Americans pay nothing at all!
• Cake.
• The Mexican Submarine. Does it exist? ...and speaking of submarines - why are all the women on UniVision blonde?
• I'll preface this comment with: I like milk. But, to answer the question: What people must have thought of the first guy to drink (cow) milk. I imagine he was considered the village freak. Although, there had to be a 1'st...and what series of events did it take for him to go from «watching baby cows do it» to «getting under one and doing it himself» ?
• The Knights Templar †
• Frozen flavored cream.
• Should the Nineteenth Amendment be repealed? ;)
• Coercion, after all, (it) merely captures man. Freedom captivates him.
• If you have sex with a prostitute against her will - is it considered rape or shoplifting?
• (○)(○)
• Why people who are on the ground pay money to go up to the top of tall buildings - and then put more money in stationary binoculars to look at things on the ground?
• Robots.
• Why would a woman give (even) a semi-accurate estimation of her personal income on a public profile?
• The Illuminati.
• Why does every contestant on Hell's Kitchen smoke? Is that a prerequisite or something?
• The Chilean Model for privatized Social Security.
• Gravy.
• As soon as I think about thinking of something I'll put it here.
On a typical Friday night I am
Pondering the age of entitlement that's upon us. Watching episodes of Miami Ink on Hulu Plus while eating akutaq.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
01] I've never been married - and have no children.
02] I'm addicted to water...it's like I have to drink it every day.
03] Unfunded mandates are illegal - 10th Amendment.
04] I think most people are idiots.
05] When I'm in a hotel room the TV never gets turned off.
06] Naughty = Good
07] Pessimism is the Bodyguard of Socialism.
08] I've never had a dental cavity.
09] I'm an ENTJ.
10] I've never been abducted by aliens in a UFO and studied.
11] Donkeys kill more people annually than plane crashes.
12] I almost teared up in the last episode of "Lost"...almost.
13] I don't use Facebook.
14] I prefer the Android OS over iPhone iOS. I use both.
15] A snail can sleep for three years.
16] 3 stock tips: I'm bullish on MSFT, SYK, and RRC.
17] In Iran it's legal to sell a kidney for profit . I wouldn't.
18] Koalas sleep up to 19 hrs a day - Just like several ex-girlfriends.
19] I don't like shoes to be worn inside my house/home/dwelling.
20] I'm an internet certified brassiere fitter. Self commissioned.
21] Concerning Hats: I prefer Visors.
22] I've never lost a physical altercation with a poltergeist.
23] I use a Sonicare toothbrush.
24] I use Amazon Prime.
25] I'm one of few who enjoyed "Battlefield Earth" & "The Postman".
26] German Chocolate Cake has nothing to do with Germany.
27] I reload my firearm ammunition with a Dillon press.
28] The only sugar-coating I do is on funnel cakes.
29] A pony is not a baby horse.

I didn't write this, but I have always liked it. Just my little share for the day. If you like it, the book is well worth reading. And share with your friends!
ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN
All I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sand pile at school.
These are the things I learned:
Take any one of those items and extrapolate it into sophisticated adult terms and apply it to your family life or your work or government or your world and it holds true and clear and firm. Think what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap. Or if all governments had as a basic policy to always put things back where they found them and to clean up their own mess.
And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out in the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.

ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN
All I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sand pile at school.
These are the things I learned:
- Share everything.
- Play fair.
- Don't hit people.
- Put things back where you found them.
- Clean up your own mess.
- Don't take things that aren't yours.
- Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
- Wash your hands before you eat.
- Flush.
- Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
- Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
- Take a nap every afternoon.
- When you go out in the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
- Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup: the roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
- Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup - they all die. So do we.
- And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned - the biggest word of all - LOOK.
Take any one of those items and extrapolate it into sophisticated adult terms and apply it to your family life or your work or government or your world and it holds true and clear and firm. Think what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap. Or if all governments had as a basic policy to always put things back where they found them and to clean up their own mess.
