Friday’s Best Conversation Topics

You can read and read but until you can speak intelligently no one will ever know if you’re smart or stupid. And if you’re stupid it’s best to stay silent. Read these articles, my selections as the best conversational news stories from the past week, and sound intelligent when it’s your turn to speak.

- US Embassy in Syria set upon by “thugs” – In this day and age, with our technology and the free flow of information, how does a government that has lost it’s “legitimacy” continue beating and killing it’s citizens? Aim a satellite over the country, broadcast freely the illegal actions of government forces and allow the people to have a voice in their own future, a voice that is heard by billions around the world, not just neighbors in the streets.

- Two sick days you can save up. If I knew I could have been a teacher and my union would demand these perks for my job… well, it’d be a whole different me, wouldn’t it? Two sick days a month you could save up, five paid professional days a year, summers off, or extra pay to teach summer school… the list literally goes on and on.

- “We will kill for oil” is one among other statements quoted by Libyan government officials reported this week. And i think they will kill and die for their oil. Sadly they will not do the same for life, liberty or countrymen. At what time will the rest of the world stand up to, and put an end to, this war?

- Pentagon loses large in cyber-attack. Yes, there is justification for enhanced computer networks because if the government cannot protect our information who will? The Pentagon operates more than 15,000 computer networks and 7 million computers in dozens of countries. The Pentagon operates more than 15,000 computer networks and 7 million computers in dozens of countries.

Friday’s Best Conversation Topics

This week has outdone most of the weeks for 2011. The news stories and opinions that surfing around will bring to your attention could sustain you in conversations until 2012. Seriously. I’m not going to bore you with tales of the Casey Anthony trial (guilty on lesser charges) and the surprising release from jail, Facebook adds Skype video chat (small twirling of fingers in air), the fun conversations this weekend will center around these stories:

- Finding out you’re an asshole from an online dating service. OK Cupid member Sam Biddle finds a woman’s blog that has a personal review of himself and his interactions with another member of the site. Quite a terrible way to find out you’re a jerk. Time for some reputation repair, right?

- The Hobbit. Just in case it slipped your mind, the movies are scheduled for release December 2012. Yes, there will be a part one and two for Peter Jackson’s vision of J.R.R. Tolkein’s monolithic piece of fantasy. Bilbo, wait for me!

- Atlantis astronauts to recycle pee. Using a method called ‘forward osmosis’ brave space-persons will be able to pee in a bag and drink water later. Don’t be shocked, this recycling has been going on for a while, albeit using different methods. The international Space Station uses a system of recycling called the ‘Water Recovery System’ to reuse body fluid waste (pee). Well, you’d have to shoot me into space to want to drink any of that, I’m sure.

- Create a secure internet alongside the existing internet is the way to go. And I agree. if there was something like (dot secure) .secure and you had to prove that you were you, then safety online wouldn’t be such an issue. This idea would certainly change the things we do online and how we’d do them.

- Win A Baby. Now this is a lottery! Open to individuals and couples, straight, gay or elderly, anyone can win the top prize of $25,000.00 of fertility treatments. WTF?!?

Have a great weekend.

Beautiful People: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

You are as beautiful as you think you are, the trouble is your measuring scale is a slippery slope that depends on how you rate yourself against the people you are with, watching or simply thinking of.

Your beauty scale also includes the self-image you have of yourself, either pretty or geeky, slender or stubby, from the time – that moment in time – when you were comfortable with how others saw you or you simply accepted the criticism and moved on but kept that image alive in your mind’s eye for all these years.

So be easier on yourself, you’re better looking than you give yourself credit for.

And for my suggestion for your personal ad headline, try this:
“The best part of my life is starting now.”

Have a great day!

Life Lessons: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

You cannot learn for someone else.

You can learn with others, think of a classroom. That is learning with someone.

You can learn by example, think of parables and historical stories. That is learning from someone.

But someone else cannot learn something and, through osmosis or some other mystical transformation system, have that knowledge passed to you without effort, without the benefit of doing something yourself you will always know what you know and nothing more. Star Trek’s Spock might, humans cannot.

Everybody has to learn the lessons of life on their own. Everybody is responsible for making their own mistakes and hopefully, by taking their life lessons to heart and realizing the new proper path as their new life lessons has shown them what to do next that is right and can now also safely and with confidence in their new found future they can move their life forward.

Whew! A real mouthful that was.

But really, what you learn is all on your own with a minimal amount of interference from well-meaning friends and family members.

Notice that I haven’t stated what the personal crisis is… because it doesn’t really matter. Life lessons come by without warning. They often take your life on a violent turn through experience or a lifting of the blinders on your eyes.

Life is like that, as long as you know that you are the only one that can learn something for yourself then you will.

For your personal ad headline today tempt the other attractive singles with this:
“There Is Love With A Few Simple Words Here.”

Have a great day!

Boundless Possibilities: Dating Profile Headline of the Day



Find The One - Start With Your Free Compatibility Profile

Is the sun setting or smiling on you today?

Is the sun setting or smiling on you today?

Tuesday

The feeling of being let down keeps many people from trying to date at all, whether online or by trying to meet people in the physical world.

This is wrong because we cannot control how other people will react to us and by trying to avoid disappointment we invite it all the more into our lives.

Life is full of disappointment. We can go to the “glass half full argument” but when you’re disappointed in a person the world becomes a very hurtful place, regardless if the “other half of the glass” is happiness waiting to shine on your face.

We live in the moment and it’s in the moment that we judge and will be judged, that we rejoice in happiness and cry in disappointment.

It’s only the strong that will survive these muddy waters and if you don’t have the strength now you’ll have to find it later or perish into an unknowable hell of your own creation.

If the responsibility of your disappointment was 100% due to someone else then wouldn’t you feel no disappopintment at all, just that other person would feel the disappointment that should be felt? Indeed, it’s only because of your unreachable expectations (reasonable or not) does unhappiness and disappointment enter the picture at all. And it’s your disappointment, not theirs, that is felt.

That being said, it is your disappointment and your responsibility to feel this emotion or not.

So if you can control whether or not you will allow yourself to feel disappointment then you should have no fear of it.

With no fear comes boundless possibilities.

So, then, you should date. Click on that person’s profile, send that email, make that call and say hello to that stranger. Everything is possible for you and nothing wil disappoint you, unless you let it.

This, naturally, brings us to today’s dating profile headline suggestion:
“Boundless possibilities start with a simple hello.”

Have a great day!

Friday’s Best Conversation Topics

I am a firm believer that there can only be one truth. One truth for me is one truth for you, is the same truth for the both of us. Anything else has to be a lie spoken against you and me. Life really is that simple.

This week’s best news stories to talk about show the lie and how what is true for me can be a lie for you. Or at least for embattled Rep. Anthony Weiner. Let’s get started.

- “Weinergate” has quickly overtaken Representative’s Anthony Weiner’s job and it seems that’s all any political reporters are concentrating on. Was his twitter account hacked? Does his wife of 1 year worry? Will he ever answer the questions: “Are these your balls?” I could have fun all day with this, but I’ll spare you more details in this post because if you really want to follow this news (?) story, start clicking here. (June 6th follow-up news story.)

- James Arness, of ‘Gunsmoke’ fame died at 88. I find it interesting that he’s such a thoroughly searched term on Google when most people of the internet age have likely not even seen the show ‘Gunsmoke‘. Am I dating myself?

- It seems that Sony will never get security right. Should we be scared? Luckily (I hope) I only use my PS3 for games on disk, 1 player, not online and don’t have a paid subscriber account. Also for Netflix. seriously, should I be scared? Gizmodo offers a database check so you can see if your info has been stolen (compromised?), so why wait for Sony to tell you in a few weeks or so.

- Saggy pants? No ride in Texas. Yes, it’s true, if you wear saggy pants that expose your underwear or ass(crack) you cannot board a bus in Fort Worth, Texas. I’d like to say that I agree with the policy and will forward a copy of the story to my local city council. I believe that pants that hang so low that an ass(crack) is visible are a safety hazard in case of emergency. Just my opinion, now with a little legality behind it.

Hump Day’s Motivational Picture

Now there are a lot of people that ask me (well, my wife really) about why it’s always half naked women as the motivational picture posted every Wednesday. Simple really, I’m a heterosexual guy and for inspiration I offer to my audience what I think they want to see to help get them through the rest of the work week. If you’re a heterosexual woman, feel free to try and change my mind (withholding sex does not count, babe!).

That being said, meet Giulia, a cute young woman that isn’t camera shy, as you will see here.
