OK, here's my take on Online Dating
I really don't understand why or how people pay for these sites. I've always been against paying to meet someone, Or for better description, BEING IGNORED. I don't have to pay anyone to be ignored. I can do that all on my own for free. It's nothing more body warming then sending someone you see on a dating website a message " breaking the ice " and never getting a response. Hell some people even look at your picture and just delete the message, not even reading what you have to say. I'm a victim of it too, i'm not going to be pleasing to everyone's eye.
I just understand why those types of people are even on the sites. I mean I go to this free website Plenty of Fish, it's a free site, it's completely crazy. It's full of everyone that shouldn't be in the dating scene for the most part. Now i've run across maybe 1 person or 2 that have been pretty cool and made some friends on there. Tons of window shoppers per say. People who add you as a favorite and never contact you. What's with that ? I mean if I add you as a favorite, i'm contacting you to say hi. I mean for example, there's this one girl who's on the site, stating that she always dates the wrong guy, She's 5 months pregnant, the father of the baby isn't in the picture. Her last relationship only lasted 6 months. I mean COME ON ! hell, I'll find her and add a link to her profile... it's too damn funny and she's being for real real ! Here is the link.
Kinda makes me wonder why I should even try dating again. I mean my last girlfriend turned out to be a drug addict who took us for everything we had and then some, and we were together for 7 years. I'm just wondering if I missed some new dating rule in those 7 years about how things were going to be.
I'm a pretty self suffient guy, who can do everything himself, earning a nice income, with a pretty stable job, not too bad looking on the eyes, trying to change myself around, lose some weight. I'm working on it... lol I didn't gain it over night and i'm damn sure not losing it overnight either, but slowly but surely i'm getting there.
I'd like to think of myself as pretty normal dating material. I don't have any baggage, I'm not pressed being single.. I just get riled up over these dating sites. I think they're horrible... It gives ppl a chance to be completely rude to people, total strangers. I dunno.. I'm not a rude person I guess... NOT like that at least.

Guy's Night Out At The Emerald Tavern...
Ok, It's Friday and I made plans to hang out with the "Hans" to hang out at the Emerald Tavern after work. I roll up to this bar and it seems pretty chill. Nice atmosphere, just like the "Winchester". I had to admit, I felt real comfy at the bar.
The bartender, This cute blond with the little gap between her teeth made think she was kinda freaky. I can't explain why I'm attracted to the who gap in the front teeth thing, but I am. Well, I had made double plans that night, Hang with Hans, and finally meet this girl who's been wanting to meet me for some time now.
I met this girl online and gave her a call and was quick to learn that she was coked up while talking to me, Just got her 3rd DWI two days prior, and was going to sun bathe on the deck of her house and smoke some weed.
I was kinda aprehensive to meet this girl. She was kind of wild and a major party chick. Well if you know me, I'm always up to party, and have a good time. But lately I've chilled out the past 5 months and have been focusing on other things more importantly like buying a house.
So in walks this girl. Half hawaian and spanish, She's built good, nice looks, but way too loud, even for me. She immediately grabs my face and plants a kiss on my lips, while digging her claws into my neck, I swear to god I thought she was going to draw blood. Expressing how happy she was to meet me finally. I introduce her to Hans and he's got this look on his face like, I'm in over my head. Well I was... lol.
She grabs my hand and thrusts it into her crotch and tells me to squeeze to prove she's not a man. ( I teased her saying she looked like a man in one of her pics ) Well, she definately wasn't a man... The crocodile Dundee test was complete.
This girl was constantly digging her nails into me, my face, my stomach, and my mommy/daddy buttons. Super loud she beckons for a shot of Rumplemintz, I had to get this shot to her quick to shut her the fuck up. I was actually a little embarassed to be around her. She sucks the shot glass dry and grabs me around the neck and tells me that she has to go to the bathroom. I was relieved at the moment, upon leaving she informs me that she'll be right back, and PUNCHES ME IN THE BOYS.
The look on my face, as the bartender walks by laughing at me asks what was wrong and I tell her what just happened and that I was scared she was coming back. This girl is no way near my type, but had to get the meet and greet over with. She comes back from the BR and tells me her friends that she came with are going back to Dead Freadie's and for me to meet her back there.
I express fake interest to get her away from me and the Hans and never show up. I was so scared that she was going to come back I was actually paranoid the entire rest of the night. Hans laughing with me, as he's that type of friend... the best kind to have by the way ! He just shakes his head and we share that silent moment in agreement. Sometimes I wonder if we share the same brain cuz we think alot almost all of the time.
These are the times that dating actually scares me. I plan on dating alot this coming year to find someone compatabile and grow from there. So if you know anyone looking to go on a date or hang out with that's single and normal. Let me know... But if she ends up being crazy, I'm coming back to kick you in the head... lol

30 cents !!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME
Ya know, I was going to work Friday morning, and thought to myself, " I need gas ". Oh well... Since I usually get it at lunch or on my way home, I waited. So after getting off work, I desparetly needed to fuel up. When I left this morning for work gas was $3.44 - $3.49 and when I gassed up it was $3.79 !!! .30 cents more in one day, you've got to be kidding me. Who's in control of this gas crisis. I'll tell you who... NOT US that's who !
If I ever had the chance to ask someone with power, i'd love an explanation on how you think you can justify a .30 hike on gas in one day. To me I felt fully taken advantage of as my gas was pumping, $20 worth mind you, I wasn't filling up my jeep at that price. I mean, how are we supposed to survive when we are soo damn oil dependant that we can do nothing to keep the price of something we can't live without within reason.

GOOGLE CHROME, We Welcome You !
Finally, a web browser that I don't have to fear... So far at least. I waited all day to finally be able to download this. This is different, this child was born out of competition. A rival for internet dominance. Microsoft should worry about this one. This browser that I'm currently batting eyelashes at is super fast. It doesn't clutter my computer, hog my memory, or if I wanted to. Leave no footprints.
The Incognito Window,You've gone incognito. Pages you view in this window won't appear in your browser history or search history, and they won't leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close the incognito window. Any files you download or bookmarks you create will be preserved, however.
Going incognito doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, or software. Be wary of:
Websites that collect or share information about you
Internet service providers or employers that track the pages you visit
Malicious software that tracks your keystrokes in exchange for free smileys
Surveillance by secret agents
People standing behind you
Learn more about incognito browsing.
It also allows you to see your favorites and most viewed pages when you open a new tab. Which I happen to like, cuts down on keystrokes and its' simply point and click. For those not so internet savy, this might be ideal for you. What's even better is that I can customize this baby the way I like. It's open code... Google has been running the race quite impressively, starting from the stock auction, to the hint of a web browser that will make Microsoft sweat a little.
I like the fact that they advertised the up and coming in a comic book fashion. What better way to keep the attention of the reader, using pictures and words... LOL. Click the link for the comic book advertisement
I also especially like the " YouTube" query when typing the destination in the address bar. It populates and shows a drop down of what your looking for, and goes far beyond that.
I think so far, the best feature, and this is just my opinion... but if you ever been working on something and Internet Explorer has an error, Every one of your browser windows goes buh byes... NOT ANYMORE! With Google Chrome, Just the failed tab will close, leaving all the other tabs to remain open. Please feel free to check it out. I highly recommend it.
I give two thumbs up on this new browser and can't wait to explore and tweek it more.
