Do You Have Love Potential? Or Have You Never Found Your Tongue?

I was taking a drive to get a couple of packs of cigarettes when I ended up on the highway. I felt a moment of freedom and stood on that gas pedal until I realized that I could lose my license for the pleasure of passing other cars at close to the speed of light.

I did get my smokes and I did make it home.

And I came upon a realization:
The only enjoyment in life is when you’re actually enjoying life.

We are slaves to the “routine”, chained to the “life” that we think is the right path. What if we are wrong?

Do you remember your first love? Of course you do. We all have those memories of innocence, youth and love.

The memory persists but the love was lost and if you think back to that episode of your life you’ll find the reason why you lost on love.

And it’s not for me to tell you why, you already know.

Inexperience and the inability to communicate intelligently without losing your voice to the emotional feelings of love is the big wall that your love could not develop around. It sure was mine, way back then.

As we get older, and gain experience and understand the world around us and our place in it, love becomes harder to find but no less than our assured ability to communicate to others can remain to be that big wall that still obstructs us from finding and managing love.

There is help.

Friday’s Popular Conversation Topics

Ganna A by Met-Art

We have entered that special time of year, that usually shows us consumerism at its highest demand and honesty at its lowest.

Yes, I watch the stock market and at this time of the year there is often a few weird selling patterns that appear consisting of the everyday man-woman-investor cashing in to pay the anticipated bills of the season.

I’m not talking just cash for gift buying. Business people need cash (liquidity) for the new calendar year, parents need to pay the bills for the upcoming school semester. Hell, maybe a guy plans for a very special Valentine’s Day to be pre-paid after the big marriage proposal surprise on Christmas Eve (I did that one).

Sadly, the world markets are out of control, real investor values are all over the board and that doesn’t include the run on the stock market still to come, knocking of hundreds from the stock market indexes in what are normally slow, almost no ripple trading sessions until after the new year.

And all of this leads up to the stories you need to know about so you have some awesome current events to share at the dreaded office party or that lonely corner bar stool tonight. Read and enjoy, here we go!

- Too sexy for that veggie. An Islamic cleric living in Europe reportedly has warned Muslim women not to get too close to bananas, cucumbers or other produce — to avoid having “sexual thoughts.” Hahahahaha ho. Gotta wonder which “western video” sent this cleric holy man onto this particular line of thought. I know it’s not the same guy that said women shouldn’t drive because it may affect their virginity.

- “I never intended to break the rules.” For a final payout of $12.1 million dollars I wouldn’t know too much about my bankrupt company either. Just saying….

- This is the guy in the running for Last Place Criminal Dufus of the yYear. There’s a video, below, too. But essentially dude snoops on his girlfriend’s teen daughter’s phone, found a nude pick of her and sexted the picture to almost 40 of her contacts to “teach her a lesson”. I can only guess that a couple of the kids might say the photo is old news but this guy has a fun time in store for the holidays and I hope he remembers his “soap on a rope”.

- Where would we be without a heart-fely gift shopping story? Right here is the answer. Dude with a .322 blood alcohol level is arrested for trying to steal 2 big screen TVs from Wal-Mart while he’s wearing the same coat he stole two days earlier from said store. They never said if it was the booze or the greed that gave him away. Too bad, one of those TVs was supposed to be my holiday gift!

- This will not be abused because it’s lobbyists and politicians making gift giving rules for lobbyists and politicians to receive gifts from one and another in time to give and receive this holiday season. Albeit belatedly because the new rules start January 1, 2012. State lawmakers and city council members can accept expensive gifts from lobbyists without disclosure if they are dating, and can receive meals and lodging in lobbyists’ homes without telling the public, under rules approved Thursday by the state ethics agency.

I told you it was a special time of year.

Online Dating Profile Headline of the Day: The Wealth Monster

Until the playing field is leveled

Until the playing field is leveled

As the day dawns and the wheels of commerce and industry begin their toil we all at one point or another question our place in this monster beyond our control that so controls us.

The “Occupy Movement” is an offshoot of angst against the hidden masters that control the world through the movement of money and the increase of singular wealth. Governments seem to be not more than shields that protect the wealthiest 1% while oppressing the 99% using offers of health, security and wealthy equality that cannot be sustained and in many eyes has yet to be started to be achieved.

Taxation equality cannot be attained by the simple premise that reform is the government’s job and it is a job that is undo-able by the simple existence of government using taxation as a method of wealth management they cannot control.

Control of wealth by the government simply assures that those with the 1% of the wealth create the rules of the government of the day. And, unfortunately, the citizens of the region, the 99% oppressed population is forced to play along.

Until the playing field is leveled and made equal worldwide, until taxation equals true equality rather than representation by wealth we will remain at the wheel playing our life out by the rules of others.

For your personal ad headline today please consider sparking some interest in your posted profile with this:
“Do you consider yourself within the 99% of citizens that the Occupy Movement is trying to represent?”

Have a great day!

You’ll Love These!: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

“These are the ones you’ll love!”

I think I’ve heard this term about 30 times this past week and not once has it had anything to do with dating… not even swinger services have used this tagline.

But waffles, shoes, pants, etc., sure… all good. (*sob*) I guess.

I like to think that dating does offer you choice. Redhead or blonde. Big shoulders or more mature.

“Go big or go home because these are the ones you’re going to love!”

I hated to be told what to do and when it’s pushing what I consider to be a dime-store novelty or a hoax medicinal product, watch out for my retribution (or at least several harsh words to the person next in line).

For your personal ad headline today try this:
“Nothing freaky, just looking for true love.”

Have a great day!

Genitals and the Twitterverse: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Tuesday

You have to love guy who is bold enough to send a picture of his genitals to a girl he likes on Twitter.

Congratulations goes to Anthony Wiener, he sure showed the world he’s got balls. (Or did he?)

Sadly, I myself is not one of those guys. Pictures of my genitals will stay saved somewhere else and not the Twitterverse.

I don’t even think that such an action would make a good headline, you know, “I will send you a picture of my balls”. Nope just doesn’t work for me.

I would like to think that a lot of us are above such adolescent behavior, but you never know. Government officials as we all know seem to be above the law or at least hold their actions above the rest of us until the caught. Thank goodness for free media.

For your dating profile headline of the day I’d like to suggest this:
“I will not share with you naked pictures of myself.”

Have a great day!

April Fools: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Monday

Today, if you’re like me, we start the chase to the weekend again. Almost seems like we’ve done this before! :0

It is going to be an exciting week, it’s only a few days until it’s April Fool’s Day, so I have to get my plans in action.

With the technology that’s available with a few clicks and a couple of dollars, the potential for pulling off some good pranks go beyond what could have been accomplished a decade ago.

My favorites are:
- If you’re in retail, or have a friend that is, setting them up for a prank customer compliment and a lottery win at the same time is easy and fun. This is how it’s done: You’ll need a “Thank You” greeting card, or just write a thank you note on a piece of paper and stuff it in an envelope with one of those fake winning lottery tickets. Make sure the card and “gift” is left for them where ever a customer would drop off something for a staff member and your victim won’t figure it out for at least a few hours giving you some nice laughs.
- Using a “spoof card” phone calling card you can call anyone and have the caller ID display anything you want, so you can really trick someone into anything. I like calling from a tow truck business saying their car has been towed. You can even hack into someone’s voicemail an chnage their recorded message… just so much fun to have for a few dollars!

So you can see there are some great pranks easily done.

Back to my suggested headline for your dating profile, today maybe try this one:
“No April Fools here!”

Have a great day!

Santa Gifts: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Cheating Santa out of his...

Cheating Santa out of his...

Wednesday

We are now moving into the “Merry all ye gentlemen” period of crap that grabs a hold of people and relentlessly shakes the shit out of their wallets and scratches the hell out of the magnetic strips on their credit cards.

Now, I’m not going to declare myself immune to the temptations of the celebration. I’ve been known to wander aimlessly through the malls, without a gift idea between my ears, and walk out several thousand dollars poorer. Ce la vie.

I hope you stick to your gift buying list better than I, or at least only gave out your gift lift to others and did not accept any lists in return. “Sorry, honey, I couldn’t find your list so I got you this box of jelly filled donuts…. You’re welcome…. Stop throwing things at me! Save the donuts for later!”

And if you have no one to give a great gift to, then take the money and start a savings account for a great vacation for two. Then when you’ve saved enough money for two tickets, go yourself if you’re still single. Just go for twice as long! Or take that great person you met a Perfectmatch.com and have the time of your life. (I will leave the choice on what to do to you.)

The list of people who aren’t great and don’t deserve a gift can be short (if you’re happy) and long if you’re seeking Christmas (pissed off) revenge. I will not start or end your list, but I will say “Don’t leave out milk and cookies for Santa. He’s not coming.”

And since we are now covering a wide range of topics that include buying gifts, not giving great gifts, saving money for a hedonist vacation and, finally, cheating Santa out of his standard reward, let’s complete this massacre of a post with this headline that will dramatically increase the replies you get to your online profile:
“Do you want me to put a good word in for you with Santa? We’re buddies.”

Have a great day!

Hump Day’s Motivational Words

It’s Wednesday again and the firestorm over the WikiLeaks disclosures has yet to reach full momentum.

All the while WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is in jail in Britain waiting to be sent back to the Swede’s to face sexual assault charges.

Now, I’m not going to discuss the validity of the charges, Mr. Assange is on record saying he had sex with the women but it was consensual.

Mr. Assange says the troubles with both women started over condom use. Which leads me to wonder: Was Mr. Assange worried the Wiki would Leak?

Happy Hump Day!

Bad (and good) Tattoo Ideas

Bad tattoo idea

Bad tattoo idea

I have to be honest, I have no ink on my body.

It’s not that I’m anti-tattoo or anything, it’s mostly I haven’t seen anything original enough that would define me for the rest of my life that I would want other people to see.

Let’s face it, some tattoos fade into old age and others just scream “Numbskull – what were you thinking?!”. So I want to be careful when I finally take the step into the tattoo parlor and get it done.

I think that, besides the tattoo in the picture my choices are now down to (See some of the tattoos talked about here):

- “Made in [hometown-here]” – a testament to where you were born, I kinda like this one
- “Baby on board” – even though I’m a guy and technically this tattoo doesn’t apply, I still think it’s a bad idea.
- “Reflect” yes, the single word on the forehead. people will certainly stop and think when they see this on your forehead, could be in the running if my current prescription pain pills need an increase in dosage
- Any words that I am not fluent in is likely not a good idea, like Britney Spears tattoo that was supposed to mean “Mysterious” but means “Strange” instead. Oops.
- If you’re going to be involved in a criminal enterprise I think that this type pf tattoo is just not only overkill but also a blinking light for police to stop you and to follow you any time, day or night, for no other reason that your face. Enough said, click here for the picture.
