congrats, DDD!!! I am happy for your good fortune, bu don't forget: The line for Farrah's services starts BEHIND me, LOL.
 
I really detest people who fake their identify to be someone else. What kind of bullshit is that? And then to DENY who they are is another joke, especially when I have proof of them on myspace lol. People these days are humorous to me, its comical. Why lie about yourself? And then to lie to my face makes it worse, but I guess some people have low self esteem or something. I just don't comprehend people like that, but I guess whatever floats their boat.

On a another note I've discovered that some friends take things wayyyyyyyyyyy too seriously. I thought I was passionate about life but some people step over the limit. I used to think fighting for something I believed in was the right path. But now, I've realized its better to let it go and move on. I've spent most of my life fighting with obnoxious people who are not worth it in the end. I've come to realize that real quick....everyone can and will be replaced by the snap of my fingers. Those who I trust have my heart or know my deepest darkest secrets. For the others its how life can be and I acknowledge that. Some things in life are immaterial to fight for other things are worth traveling to hell and back.

I have a tendency of being labeled something that I'm not. For a while it bothered me because at the time I thought the opinion was correct. But now that I see things more differently I just don't care. Its their loss not mine, as I said people are replaced like clothing. I'm just tired of people telling me who and what I am lol. When clearly they have been sadly mistaken and all they see is the negative. If they wanna see it, okay. I don't have to please anymore nor do I have to live up to some sort of pedestal. All that matters is my happiness and what I want. The end.
 
Sigh!

What a night, where to begin.

Ok the cab back home... I ended up asking a cab/taxi driver for advice on actions he would take in my situation. Ok so my situation; I am out in a club with my friends, my best friend Desmond points out this girl whom is with our group, I don't think much of her at first but we get dancing, suddenly after talking and flirting I realise I actually like her, see it has been a while since I've actually liked someone on a level where I feel I can talk to them and that they can know me. The problem was that my friend Dave also liked her so I played nice guy and stepped back a bit. But then I think I got jealous because I stopped them, well stopped Dave, from making his move (in the most subtle of ways) in order to make my own move but I didn't. Then I felt bad because I cocked blocked my friend and never made a move myself. Dejected and confused i asked told the cab/taxi driver the whole situation where he told me "There are two things he wouldn't do... go out with a friends ex and deal with his friends current girfriend." But in my situation he would have made a move on this girl, his reasoning was, "So what if your friend likes her its fair game, she might like you over him, now you will never know..... SIGH!!!!

Its been a while since I've met someone that gets to me the way she did and now I'll probably never see her again SIGH!!!!

Meeting women is SO hard. Esspecially ones I like.
 
So i'm out tonight after a hard as HELL week of work..i've slept a total of 9.5 hours out of the ENTIRE WEEK..and the quarter has jus begun...i work all day and decide to go to my usual bar and grill to relax, get some food, have some drinks (ok..a lot of drinks..hehe) and some lady walks up to me..fine as hell. White chick who for some reason liked what she saw in me sitting around there.. the rest of the male and female patronage of the place didn't like that apparently and decided they would teach me a lesson for liking women of all kinds particularly white, raised on country and all genres, and just wanting to have a good time...

i'm sittin around there eating some food, drinking a few drinks (yes drunk as hell..like now..) but a complete gentlemen in all sense of the word to the lady beside me (others have said many times they wish more men were like me as far as that goes..i can boast on that at least), and just hanging around minding my own business..they come up to me nigger this, nigger that..and want some conflict..i didn't do anything until one guy swung at me..then i duck, blocked it and made one straight rush with my elbow to his throat and connected..although i could have done a lot more...scary enough, much more. The security, bartender, and waitress stopped the whole thing thankfully and made sure i got back here okay...

but what the HELL is the issue with a black guy that isn't the stereotype ignorant criminal jackass and likes women and music outside of his race and what he's 'supposed' to do?

I see how me and my tendency to go for white women can be an issue with a lot of black and white people..and has been up to now and probaly will be..hell..the one person i really have anything feeling wise for is on this board, and she knows who she is..although i fucked it up royally and havn't talked to her in too long and sorely regret it..but come on..what the hell..we as a culture really havn't moved past a damn thing i've noticed..whether i'm in Asia, Australia, USA, or Europe..the SAME damn thing people have been going through for centuries..just not as outspoken anymore and accepted as it used to be. No lynch mobs, but just as vicious.

Last week minding my own business i got jumped by 10-15 white guys and a couple of ladies (somewhere around there...don't know exactly because i got knocked the hell out obviously and no eye witnesses to it..that'll say anything at least..at least i KNOW for a fact most of them got laid out on the concrete) because i danced for a BRIEF moment (literally) with a white chick...laid out most of them as i said before.., 4 left standing as i found out when i came too when i was conscious again (go skinny people! :p)...but this week..with just the actions and words was just..too much..what the hell...

(and for one person in particular, the real reason why i havn't done anything you've requested such as pictures and all..is because of things like this...happened many times and don't want you to see me like this..so now you know the truth)
 
For DDD, ALWAYS remember one thing: Men don't choose women, women choose from available men. The only way to win it is to be in it, kid. So never LET your man take his shot. If she wants you, you will BOTH miss out and she will think less of you for not giving enough of a damn to try out for the team. If she picks your boy, fine, he wins. But make sure it's a competition. ALWAYS.
As for Willblade, I am sorry that has happened to you. It sounds like you may need to travel less alone. Do you have some buddies to hang with. Thses types of cowards avoid jumping groups, even if its just 2 or 3. If I were around, I would hang. I haven't kicked an ass in years, but I still know how...
 
Thanks for the advice Rampage.

Now for a rave. Back in 1984 a film was released called breakdance (Breakin') and was all about well Breakdance body-poppin' and the like. Most importantly it still remains to this day one of my favourite films (the scene with Turbo dancing around a broom outside the shop to the Kraftwerk; Tour de France beat is amazing) and was the first time I had encountered the legendary Nike air Windbreaker jacket worn by the character Turbo.

Fast forward a decade-plus to 1998 and I buy (unknowingly at the time) the very same jacket:
proxy.php


It was my favourite Jacket and was the catalyst for my fetish with owning jackets. Unfortuantely a year into owning this jacket I burned a hole into it with an iron.

I have been searching for 8yrs for direct replacement of this jacket. I even wrote to Nike and offered to buy my friends (he owned the same one) for £50 to no avail. And sure Nike re-released the design in about every colour except for the legendary black and white, until today!

Yes finally I got WINDBREAKER BACK!!!!!! It cost me £15 more than it did 8yrs ago but it has the inner linning! (Unlike the 2000 edition) I am SO VERY HAPPY!!!!

On Top of that I went into a H&M (clothes shop and they were selling Comic (Marvel comic) print underwear, I've found a new pair of lucky drawers! :D :D :D :D
 
A Black guy; wearing a beautiful suit, nice brown shoes and well spoken comes into my store today. He attempts to buy a £10,000 Ladies Rolex and I am furious at the ordeal this man was put through.

The sales associate serving him would not let the man touch the watch let alone hold it to look at what he wanted to buy. Even so the man agrees to take the watch at full price (something that didn’t sit well with me since I’ve seen countless of times where the manager has knocked at least £100 on other stock for blatantly rude customers and could have done with this).

Unfortunately the Customers card requested on the till that the authorisation be called through. It was (in front of the customer as that is procedure) and automatic authorisation was given and the customer was told of this. Yet STILL the Deputy Manager felt the need to take the Card into the office for further authorisation. Ten minutes pass and the customer is beginning to get frustrated as no one has actually explained to him why his property has been taken away without his knowledge. He is given some half assed explanation but in actual fact Kelly is demanding that the authorisation centre quiz the Customer on his identity even though they verbally told her it was ok.

The Customer’s patience finally ending he began to complain and hit the nail on the head when he calmly stated “is this because I am a Black Man spending lots of and nearly an unbelievable (for you people) amount of Money?” - I nearly started clapping and felt a tear in the corner of my eye as this obvious truth was laid bare for all to see. I was proud when the Customer turned round to the Sales Associate and demanded that they ‘give him his card and this damn watch’ – which he finally paid for.

But once the customer left I had to very vocally ask everyone within earshot “how hard do they have to make it for black people to spend large extravagant sums of money?” Is it because our Money is not good enough? Or is it because with all the negative stigma surrounding black people it is hard to believe that it is possible that black people are capable of earning the sort of salary that enables a Man to pay a house deposit on a watch? I then continued to point out that that customer just spent at least six months worth of the Managers salary on a Watch and for that fact he was treated like a criminal!

The same thing has happened to me and I’m just sick and tired of the prejudice! All I want is to be treated impartially and without prejudice.
 
I hate my grandparents (father's parents...not mothers just to clarify). With every single fiber of my being. They are manipulative, unstable, selfish, cruel, heartless, sons of bitches. And if I NEVER in my, LIFE, SPEAK to them, SEE them, or even hear their fucking NAMES again, I'd be a happier person. I could say a hell of a lot more, but I don't want karma to bite me in the ass later in life, so I'll leave it at that.

You mean to tell me this still occurs? (sarcasm) I get tired of the "we are the world" speech when people who wear their blinders try to pretend that things like this don't still occur.
 
Some people are fucking retarded. So I'm sitting down on shift (still in Iraq lol) and this ass hole walks in and says to the guy next to me, "Hey you won't be able to call your wife tonight, an earth quake hit Oahu (the island in Hawaii where I am stationed and where my girlfriend lives) and all the land lines and cell phones are down." Of course dude starts freaking out, then I start freaking out trying to figure out how in the hell I'm going to get a hold of my girl friend.

After a long while I FINALLY manage to get a hold of her but the connection sucks and all I get to ask if if she's ok this which she replies yes. The news isn't saying SHIT about which island actually got hit other then saying it as a 6.3 on the scale so I'm still a little freaked even though she told me she's ok.

Any way like 7 hours and no real sleep later I manage to get a hold of her again for a few minutes and actually get a bit of conversation in beore MY god damned phone goes on the fritz. The shot (quality) has been steller ALL DAMNED WEEK and after hours of trying to get a hold of my girl friend and finally doing it MY damned phone goes bad? What the fuck. Needless to say I lost the connection and havn't been able to get a hold of her since though I am feeling MUCH better. Turns out the quake hit the Big Island and NOT Oahu like the other moron managed to misinform us.
 
Ok... I think I've managed to hit an all-time low in my life at the moment. I'm in a long, long dark tunnel, so long in fact I don't know if there is any light at the end of it...

I'm completely lost on what to do with my life now that I'm graduated. The job I wanted had a federal hold placed on it the very day I applied for it... so that's a complete and utter bust now at least for the next 6 to 12 months. Locally, there is absolutely nothing available in my field... However if you are in healthcare you will have no problem finding a job... there are positions open for nurses and therapists gallore around. So of course this leaves me completely jobless at the moment and having to bite the bullet and take something completely unrelated to the 4 years of torture I went through to get my double major. That's my wonderful professional life....

Now for my so-called personal life.... I've never had luck with the oppsite sex. To be quite and bluntly honest the last steady girlfriend I had was back in the 4th Grade... and of course being that long ago you can imagine what the "relationship" was like..... Don't get me wrong I'm not a virgin, I've never had any vicious problems when it comes to that department... but finding a relationsihp is complete and utter torture for me. I've never ever thought of myself as good-looking or even mildly attractive.... perpetually the 'loner type' you know, and somewhere along the way I think I convienced myself that I was happy with it. Although it seems as of late I have been quite lonely. When I went away to college I was finally able to break out of my shell and I made some really good friends... but now that ship has sailed, we graduated, and 'my gang' is scattered all around and I find myself getting really lonely. I had to move back home where I was way less than popular in High School and never had a group of friends to do anything with and I just find myself wanting someone.... I don't have any friends here who call me up and want to hang out.... I don't have anybody to goto movies with.... you get the idea. As relationships go... I finally got up enough courage to ask a friend out on a date last night. I mean quite honestly you'd think that a trip to the mall, dinner (sushi), and a midnight movie would be a fun time right? I guess if you're dating somebody interesting, from the get-go my "date" showed absolutely no interest in my at all... in fact I was essentially ignored a majority of the time. When I picked my "date" up we drove over to the mall and basically my "date" spent the entire trip text messaging on the cell phone to various people... Inside the mall it was basically the same thing... except it progressed to text messaging and telephone calls in every single store we ventured into. Moving onto dinner, there was brief conversation as my "date" had never tried sushi before; but after we ordered the cell phone once again was brought into drastic use.... my "date" must have about 6 different phone calls to people tell them this was her first time trying sushi, not of course counting the text messages that were sent. So the night goes on.... Both being horror fans, we decided to goto the midnight showing of Saw III... While waiting to get into the theater and sit down where I thought we might actually connects as using a cell phone would be quite rude.... an old friend shows up who immediately gets a hug and smile and lots of catch-up chatter. I blink and my "date" is across the lobby chatting to the old friend and the old friend's friend without so much as a word to me. Needless to say we ended up sitting with these people in the teather and to my knowledge my "date" didn't even so much as glance my way as her time was spent comforting her girl friend who jumped at almost everything..... Oh, and here is the kicker... the whole time my "date" was talking to her friend, she kept going on about a date she had tonight and how excited she was about it! Finally the date was over, I got a "you be careful driving home" and that's it.... I mean honestly.... You'd think that it would have been a fun time, especially considering I payed for everything.... does this not sound like a date!? With all the insecurities surfacing lately this was just a major blow and now I'm completely down and major depressed about anything and everything... Am I that bad...that horrendous!? Am I such a drab person that a cell phone is more interesting?
 
You need Rampage's Rules for Dating, my friend.

1) Never date a friend unless it could seriously be more. You will be looking for infinitely more han she can give.

2) NO CELL PHONE CALLS!!! Not a complete ban, but the moment you feel as if she is paying more attention to the call, take her ass back home. She is not valuing yourtime and does not deserve it.

3) No group crap!!! If your dat hooks up with a group and leaves you as the outsider, you leave her to get her own ride home.

4) Last but not least. If there is no understood connection (chemistry, traditional asking out after small talk/flirting), go Dutch. It takes the pressure offf everyone and lets you know that she wants to be there if she's willing to pay for her part.

I think right now you are very depressed in a clinical sense, I sense some self-esteem issues, and I think you may need to get away from your hometown, in a nutshell. It seems that you had found a nourishing environment and returned to one that was not nearly as beneficial.
If I am correct, you are a single guy witha degree ad no kids? That is a ticket to try new shit, man. Think bigger. If you go somewhere else, you will find work, evenif it is not exactly what you want for right now. Maybe you simply need the new scenery. Maybe try looking up a close school friend and moving near them. That way you have a couch to chill on for a minute until you get a job/place and you have someone who can help jump-start the rest of your life socially.
Just some thoughts, I hope that things get better for you...
 
One simple rule: if she takes out her phone you split the bill, forget about any romantic/sexual intentions and just enjoy her company as a person rather than a potential.
 
Frustrated!!!

Ok i need to vent my feelings from the past few days. So yeah rent check came out at the worst time and drew from my checking and my savings and left me like - 70 in the HOLE, so I got the money and that was all fixed but before that, for an incredibly STUPID reason I was put on Administrative Leave of Abscence for an investigation going on in my job, it took them three days to call me and let me know why and then I check my bank account and see my paycheck was deposited a week early and my online paystub say it is the pay from Nov. 1 - Nov. 30 which I conclude means they are firing me for this retarded thing! So I have to go in on Monday to "go over things" which means I KNOW they are going to fire me unless this paycheck thing was just some catastrophic mistake on their part! To top that off I forgot about a ticket I had that I need to pay or I will get a warrant for my arrest put out to the tune of some 400 bucks plus I need to get my alternator fixed on my car to the tune of 288 dollars! Add that to the fact that I am supposed to be moving at the end of the month to Seattle and now have no money in my savings and probably no job now, and no job in Seattle since I was supposed to take a job with the company I am currently at. So now I have to get rid of my stuff and have enough money to move on November 30th since I already put my 30 days notice in at my apartment...

I feel so... BLAH! In my life right now, I just want to get out of this damn town and I just want to move, and now I don't think I will be able to, but I HAVE too I can't just stay here any longer... I need to move and it just... it just sucks....
 
Married Men Suck!

I have come to the conclusion that MARRIED MEN are just not worth the time or energy to befriend AT ALL. :rolleyes:

recently, i heard from a member from this board who hadnt been here for a minute. when i asked him why he hadn't been around, he told me that "his wife had a problem with the female avatars on the board" and that he couldnt come back.

I thought and SAID... "are you for real!?" :sure: most of the avatars we have on this board are the ones the MEMBERS WANTED!

now, honestly, i dont know if that's the REAL reason, or if it was something else, but this just reaffirms my opinion that a single woman cannot befriend a married man. I am a confident, attractive woman and i have NO problem communicating with anyone. men appreciate that about me and some are drawn to me. i dont mind talking to or even socializing with them, but when their jealous, insecure, nosy, possessive WIVES come around and act like i have a scarlett letter on my chest or something like that....i figure its time for me to leave HIM be. its not worth it and i'm not about to do with someone's insecurities.

that is the dumbest shit i've heard of SO FAR.

basically, at this point, married men that i know are about to get the COLD SHOULDER from me. this little incident is MINOR but it reminds me of another incident in the recent past with SOMEONE ELSE and i'm tired of it.

in my opinion, a single, attractive woman CANNOT be friends with a married man. HELL, we cant even talk on a frickin computer..a MESSAGE BOARD without some wife whining about AVATARS or something else.
 
I cant stand it when your sincerity is mocked, rejected, and cast aside. People make mistakes and are fallible, but I hate that when I apolgize for whatever mistakes I make people are quick to brush it off as a joke. I know a lot of people that do things and could care less how it affects others. I know many people who would never apologize regardless how wrong they are. I used to be that way when I was younger, but these days I have been trying to be different, but some reject that.

Why can't people like myself at least be given the credit for at least trying. Why must we be constantly reminded of our mistakes when we have already admitted to them. What makes me that much more angry is the fact that the very ones who smack you in the face or kick you when your down, would not want the same done to them!
 
Farrah, I don't know what that deal was, but remember that everyone is DIFFERENT. I respect my marriage but I respect you also.
As for the avatars, my wife asked about them when she thought for a second they were the ACTUAL PHOTOS of members. But when she looked again, she saw they were avatars, and really had no problem even if they were pics, as long as there was no bullshit goin' on.
So I hope you feel better later, but recognize...all men are different.
 
I gotta make this quick, though I don't know if this is rant or rave.

I'm loving life and every weekend at the moment is another adventure into clubs, pubs, bars and girls.

Still, I met a girl in a club a week or two ago, cute, pretty little 22yr old white girl, curly hair and glasses, she had a nice everything including name; Natasha. She had a cockney accent, which is miles away from my preferred 'Lilly Allen urban-South-London-gritty-accent' or my much enjoyed 'Liz Hurley I'm-to-posh-to-be-dirty-accent' but it worked for her. After putting her hip out with some up close and personal dancing, she told me "her feet hurt" she took her shoes off in the club and then continued (with me) towards the dance floor to dance.

I don't know why, but a certain webmistress' voice was in my head when she told me her feet weren't designed for the street outside. Even though I was 'on a promise' (coital relations - I don't know if you have that term; 'on a promise' in America) I found this off-putting because it wasn't the type of club to be taking shoes off barefoot, commando is one thing, barefoot is nasty - I don't think any club is a place to going barefoot. Girls shouldn't do this, black soles are NOT ATTRACTIVE.

Her toes were sexy though!

Still Farrah I'm blaming you, as your Madonna-esque standards have rubbed off on me! LOL!

GRrrrr fucking porters and coffee people at work.

I had a board meeting I arranged today and booked coffee and arranged parking a week ago and made regular checks to make sure it was confirmed and they would do it. And STILL the fucking asshole-face-bastard-fucks didn't show so I had council members going all thirsty at this meeting and all I could do was say sorry.

Stupid fucks!
 
My Calvin's are magical! They are black boxers with Calvin Klein stitched into the elastic bit around the waist.

Anywho, the Friday before Christmas a few of us went for a drink after work, 2hrs later we decided to head straight to the staff party in the city to make the most of the free alcohol. Like the people I arrived with I was still in my work clothes and really wasn't interested in entertaining any female company that night. It got late and I decided to go home, I left with a female work person (I had only spoken to twice before) because she lived in the same direction as me. I generally couldn't get home (though no one believes me) so she offered her flat, I honestly only had the intention of sleeping on the floor. She had a shower and when she came out she was wearing a T-shirt, as she climbed into bed she asked me if I wanted to have one, I did. As I came out of the shower she offered her bed, she’s 45 and I thought she was just being motherly to be really really honest, and to prove how genuinely innocent I was being, I even asked if she minds if I only wore my boxers…

I climbed into the bed and she rolled towards me, I remember thinking where is her T-shirt?

Que the Akon music.:vamp:
