What Am I Talking About?

Pick Up Artist

2007-08-22T21:33:00.000-05:00

Style aka Neil Strauss is one of the most successful and talented PUAs(Pick Up Artists) in the world. Can you really pull this shit he does off? I'm pretty sure you can, if you have it in you. I believe it would take some work to become a master at this art. Style definitely had some problems with his life as a PUA but also had an awesome time doing it. It is a real moral decision when becoming one of these men.

I have contemplated turning this blog into a PUA biography. The steps of myself turning into a PUA but then I thought a little better of myself. I will turn myself into something else. Someone that uses these tactics but not in the evil way most of these robots do. These guys that call themselves Pick Up Artists are nothing but actors that can memorize a couple lines. The real good ones like Style analyze everything and can make the most of almost any situation with anyone be it a guy or a girl. This is almost what I want to achieve. Documenting it in a blog would be real cool, but I'm not sure I'm ready to put myself out there yet.

I gather up a bunch of canned openers and go talk to girls at bars and clubs. I realized I do this already except I don't have as many catchy openers. I use lame ones like 'Hi' or 'Hows it goin?' Those seem to work pretty well most of the time. I do have some lines to get numbers that I shouldn't even give out. This is a crazy opinion on this subject cause I think I'm just scared of committing to the lifestyle of the PUAs. One of these times it will click and I'll know what to do. Rant over. New topic of the blog is whatever is on my mind. Vital.

Paris loses 60 Million

2007-08-01T21:12:00.000-05:00

Ahh Yes. Paris Hilton, America's favorite celebrity that does absolutely nothing. This girl is just a professional rich girl. Living off the family fortune for the majority of her life. Life is good. Until you go to jail and your grandfather gets real pissed at you and donates your $60 Million inheritance to charity. That jail sentence was just the last straw. I'm surprised on how the sex video wasn't the last straw.

I'm sure this has no important significance on how Paris will act. I'm sure we will see her out partying just as much. Maybe just maybe she will be partying a little more responsibly and not driving around drunk or high or whatever she does when she parties. A nice 20 day jail sentence always straightens me out. I commend you Paris for losing that 60 Million. I wish one day I could have the opportunity to lose $60,000,000. I wanted to write the zeros to emphasize the amount of money.

YouTube CNN Democratic Debate

2007-07-23T20:17:00.000-05:00

This evening was the YouTube CNN Democratic Debate. The format of this debate was that the questions were not posed by CNN and the media yet Americans who made video questions and submitted them on YouTube. The idea behind the debate is a great concept yet somewhat of a gimmick. Nearly all the questions posed were avoided very well. Mike Gravel seems to be the only candidate that will stand up for something he really believes in that is different than anyone else.

Some of the most important topics that came up were Universal Health Care systems, educational reform, and tax reform. I like these discussions a lot more than debating the war in Iraq over and over. The Universal Health Care will not happen in the near future unfortunately because of the problems with the Social Security that needs to be solved first. It is a good campaigning tactic but should be taken with a grain of salt. The biggest change that will happen under democratic rule will be getting rid of the no child left behind act. This was wrong in the first place and the only thing it helps do is to contain the smarter kids because there are no ways to expand them to their potential.

The questions posed by YouTube users were very well thought out and informative. There were a couple that were ridiculous and I wonder why CNN would let them on. The gun control question was unnecessary and the questions making the candidates say one good thing and one bad thing about the candidate next to them. Overall was a good debate but did have some faults. I'm getting very disappointed with the democratic candidates because they don't seem to want to stand up for anything and all just go along with everyone else in their party. It is what I have to live with for now.

2007-07-16T22:02:00.000-05:00

I'm finally back after a huge amount of time off from the blog. I lost some belief but now its back. I'll get back into and hope I can get some more posts up.

Ten Ways to Improve your Life

1. Stop Jumping to Conclusions. Humans can't read minds now matter how hard you try.

2. Don't Dramatize. Keep It Real.

3. Don't Invent Rules. You aren't 5 years old anymore.

4. Don't stereotype or label otheres. Well who hasn't heard that one.

5. Quit being a Perfectionist. You'll ruin your life looking for perfection.

6. Don't over generalize.

7. Don't take things so personally. They probably aren't talking about you.

8. Don't Assume your emotions are Trustworthy.

9. Don't let Life get you down. Keep being optimistic.

10. Don't hang onto the past. Let it go. Just let it go.

Great list I found and added my own annoying comments to. Found it over at Lifehack.org. Like I said after #2, you just have to Keep it Real.

Stephen Colbert - Greatest Living American

2007-04-20T18:31:00.000-05:00

Recently Stephen Colbert made a comment on his show that he would like to be known as the Greatest Living American. Because of his endless legion of viewers this can be accomplished via google.com. There has been a request that many bloggers post on their blogs and website that Stephen Colbert is the greatest living american. This is called google bombing and was supposedly fixed from the president's website coming up for miserable failure. Google of course likes Stephen more so they are letting it slide. I of course can not put it on my title tags that help it out the most but many sites can and are. Currently as of 4/20 Stephen Colbert is the Greatest Living American according to google, now google wouldn't lie to you would they? Type greatest living american into google and www.colbertnation.com is the first result. This is a site maintained by Comedy Central but made to look like a fan site.

One of the most interesting posts made was a bathub dedicated to Stephen and the effort for the greatest living american. Vintage Tub & Bath has produced a Colbert tub with an american flag painted on the outside only suited for the greatest living american. This has caused quite a stir with the google bombing. Here is a picture of the bathtub that is dedicated to the greatest livingamerican Stephen Colbert

Snow, Snow, Snow, and some PennDOT

2007-03-16T20:31:00.000-05:00

Well for anyone that doesn't know it snows in Pennsylvania. It snows a lot sometimes in Pennsylvania. Last month there was a snow storm on Valentine's day which caused many of the interstates to shut down and leave thousands and thousands of motorists stranded on the roads, some up to 18 hours.

This has been a huge topic around this area. People really enjoy complaining about it and sticking it to our governor. I know exactly what the problem was. They cut funds to do something else. I'm sure that something else is something really awesome to. I bet they put more funds into renovations of the governors mansion. Maybe buy him a new sports car, or better yet buy President Bush a new mountain bike. Unfortunately those budget cuts in the area of snow removal put a hurting to the state and more importantly the roads in the state.

Currently it is snowing about an inch an hour outside. Hopefully there has been some improvements with the snow removal. I don't want to hear people complain about the roads again. I don't complain about the roads, just complain about people complaining about the roads. I can handle the snow. Hope this doesn't turn into the St. Patrick's Day storm we will remember similar to last month. Keep up the good work PennDOT.

Time Travel Impossible.....For Now

2007-03-15T22:39:00.000-05:00

This is kind of upsetting news for me when I heard it. I am very big on time travel and I love reading and watching stories related to time travel. Unfortunately scientists have deemed time travel impossible at this point in time. Of course you can always travel into the future, but so is everyone else around you at the same time. By the time you are done reading this blog you will have traveled through time. Unfortunately you can't go back in time.

Obviously these scientists were not paying attention to Doc Brown in Back to the Future. All you need to travel through time is a Flux Capacitor and some strategically set up time circuits. Along with that you need a little plutonium to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity you need to spark the time circuits. Go to the movie store and pick it up then buy a Delorean and get to work.

One day of course we will be there and have the ability to travel through time as we please. But maybe not, because it doesn't seem like there are people coming from the future now. Or at least none of them have let us know or prove it to us. Maybe its just can't happen on the planet or you just can't travel back in time. Theorists have stated that if you got in a space ship and traveled at the speed of sound for a certain amount of time and returned to earth then you would of only aged a year and the earth over millions of years.

This is to complicated for me to fully understand, let along anyone except Doc Brown. Of course I would love to travel in time and who wouldn't. It would of course probably tear a hole in the space time continuum. So fire up the flux capacitor and get back to me on this one yesterday.

Textbook Pricing

2007-03-10T00:07:00.000-05:00

Being a college student myself I keep an eye on the prices of textbooks. Everyone I know at school will complain about the prices of their textbooks. An article on cnn.com covered how some legislators are trying to control the prices of textbooks for college students. Some students have to spend upwards of $4,000 for their books over a four year span. It is what they like to call a hidden cost of higher education. This is what the textbook publishers say in response to proposals of pricing controls:

Publishers have argued that such proposals interfere with their constitutional rights, threaten the academic freedom of faculty members, and ignore the economics of textbook publishing. Textbooks are costly, in part, because relatively few copies are sold, they say.

I have to agree with the textbook companies. I think they got the right idea making lots and lots of money off rich college students. Most of the students are just using the books to figure out ways to soon be the ones selling the books to students in the future. Its a multi-billion dollar business and goes hand in hand with colleges funds as bookstores make money off re-selling used textbooks.

I have had some three years experience of dealing with bookstore shenanigans and can get around it nowadays. I think from the past couple years I have actually turned a profit on some of my books. Buying and selling your textbooks on Amazon.com or Half.com or Textbooks.com can seriously save some money. These sites allow you to buy used books and then sell them back on the same site. I hope anyone looking to go to college starts their years buying books online as this can save you some serious money and maybe make some money in the process. Undercut those textbook companies and turn a profit on their expense.

Bush's Spring Break to South America

2007-03-08T19:01:00.000-05:00

President Bush has a trip planned for the next six days in South America. I read some articles on the trip from msnbc.com and crosswalk.com. Both news sites agrees that the president has neglected Latin American relations because of the war in Iraq. I think president Bush needs to learn how to manage his time. Hes been spending all his time vacationing over in Iraq and he forgot all the wonderful things about South America.

Unfortunately I do not think that this trip to South America will help the relations with the governments there at all. The people down there hate America and specifically Bush. I of course agree that they have more than good reason to hate us and our glorious leader. If Bush keeps on what he is doing to South America we could easily be invading Venezuela next year because they have threats of weapons to harm us. They'll probably have aluminum tubes or some other scary stuff like that.

Now of course there is some good that can come out of Mr Bush's trip down there. He will stir up some relations with Brazil and the alternative fuel projects. Brazil has more than enough corn and sugarcane products there to fuel our ethanol projects. He also plans to stop in Columbia to make negotiations regarding the drug trade. All good stuff right? Well most of the time Bush will be followed by countless protests that claim America to be imperialistic and imposing their will on everyone around the world. Along with that the Venezuelan President has his own counter tour of the continent to coincide with the Presidents.

I think the President needs to stop imposing his will on everyone and stop making everyone want to have a democracy. I mean democracy works but other forms of government can work just as well in other parts of the world. I hope the next president will do a better job keeping the United States in the good graces of the rest of the world. I think anyone will be more liked around the world than George Bush.

Captain America Assassinated

2007-03-07T12:17:00.000-05:00

Here is my first real official post. I found this article on cnn.com on found it to be quite upsetting. It involved the death of a very liked and patriotic superhero. This superhero is none other than Captain America.

Now I can't say I am a expert on Captain America but I know enough about the comic book to be somewhat turned. Captain America of course runs around and saves America from the threat of communism or terrorism or any of that American hating propaganda. He was real big in the 1960s and 50s after the war cause he fought off all the threats to America.

All that Captain America heroism is now gone. Marvel Comics has now killed him off in the latest issue. How can Marvel comics do this? Well they write the comic books so they can really do whatever they want. What is the logic behind this assassination? Apparently Captain America is going on trial for violating a law in the new superhero registration act. This law that he violated proceeded to start a 9/11 like event. He then is shot while walking into the courthouse. Apparently bullets kill Captain America. Superman can break any law he wants though.

Captain America is dead. Yes. Marvel comics hopes to make this some sort of an issue relating to the Patriot Act and The War on Terror. I'm not really sure how this can relate to the United States and The Laws we have here. We don't have any superheros, we aren't superheros ourselves, there aren't any superheros trying to save us. So what the hell are they trying to prove. I would hope to look into this further cause the Patriot Act is supposed to help protect the country against terrorism and not kill superheros.

Welcome to the Blog
