On what grounds? That you're American?

that was part of it, sure. I also asked for mercy.

BabyGirlMB gets home from school about 20 mins ago and heads straight to the fridge.BGMB: Do we have any cold water? (Head stuck in stuck in fridge)Me: No but there's plenty of ice.BGMB: Oh, that'll take too long to melt. (Grabs juice...completely oblivious to how blonde she is)I'm apparently raising an airhead.

Talk about good timing. My gf called last night to say that she wasn't sure this was working for her and wanted to hang out but not be bf/gf. I'm pretty sure that means she wants to sleep with other people. Which is fine, it wasn't like this was an 'OMG she is the juan!!!!11juan!' thing. I could tell lately that she had cooled off some and our schedules just really don't work together. Seeing each other once a week (at best) wasn't cutting it.

Which is probably why seeing the girl with the long hair last weekend was so difficult - I knew the relationship I was in wasn't super-serious. Isn't timing a kick in the balls, though?

So now I guess the question is, do I contact the girl with the long hair, the divorcee, the long distance nurse who messaged me through FB a couple weeks back, or do I just have another fun weekend texting SKB about being from Wisgayson?

 

[Dr. Awesome]

You contact all of them.

If you like sorority chicks and autotuned vocals, but weren't sure if the two could work together, worry no more.

I think the second blonde would be the most high-maintenance of the three.The comments section of that vid makes this thread look like a TED convention.

Next days function high class luncheon

Food they're serving, you're stone-cold munchin'

Music comes on people start to dance

But then you ate so much you nearly greased your pants

A girl starts walking guys start gawking

Sits down next to you and starts talking

Says she wants to dance 'cause she likes to groove

So come on fatso and just bust a move

had to read it twice, but An aside though - if you had a best friend named, let's say "Harry," and Harry's brother Larry was getting married, wouldn't you find it odd to make it there if you can, cause in the ceremony you'd be the best man? Wouldn't you be an usher at best?

A Mexican family moved in a few houses down the street from me several years ago. They put the previous Italian owners to shame by adding more little statues, colorful silk flowers and what not. It doesn't bother me at all and I'm all for decorating your house any way you wish but it definitely sticks out. So today, after YSR & E10 made fun of me for being fat, I extended my walk an extra half mile and I came across this house. It looked a lot like my neighbors house although not quite as extravagant. Then I noticed the landscaping. That looks a lot like when I tried to put those fruit blocks in at my old house.

I'll get a shot of my neighbors house tomorrow if it isn't raining.

Sure there are some stereotypes here but that is what bugs me. So the question is, Mexican or not Mexican?

Well the Virgin Mary statue would indicate that they're Catholic but the leis around the statue also say "Hawaiian". I'm going with Dutch.

Since we're talking about racial matters (we are, right?), I've been wondering about a meeting I had earlier today. About a dozen people in the room, with about half of them being people I didn't know. After leaving the meeting, I had the following conversation:

Me: I hear you have a new M&A guy. I haven't met him yet.

Mark: Oh, he was in the meeting. I should have introduced you.

Me: Was he the guy sitting across from me?

Mark: No, at the other end of the table.

Me: The guy in the red shirt?

Mark: No, the guy sitting next to me.

Me: The guy with the deep voice?

Mark: No, on the other side of me.

Then it was clear Mark was talking about the only African-American in the room. Couldn't he have just said "the black guy"? Or do we have to dance around like this?

It shouldn't be a big deal. Mark is probably just too concerned with the M&A guy being more endowed than him.

Do you think there were anything else that contributed to any of those things?

I had no self-esteem. I didn’t really have a voice. It was hard for me to express my feelings. The only way I felt comfortable was through dance, the confidence that I should have as a human being was the confidence I would have on the dance floor instead. It was the one thing that I felt comfortable doing.”CY: The information game in society and today doesn’t seem like anyone can keep anything to themselves. How did nobody find out? Did nobody know? Did few people know is what I wonder?CB: “About what exactly?”CY: The child molestation.
