HAWT PEEPS
Category: conjecture
OK New category. Conjecture. It's where I drop some deep dark secret of my thinking that is probably just wrong to say out loud, but I can do what I want since I've prefaced it with a clause like "oh, I know you may be offended by this, but it's just conjecture so lighten up, I don't really think this way or at least not all the time, but whatever..." I digress let's get going,

I have a theory.

It's that extremely attractive people typically attract the most shallow of individuals, while their deeper more aptly suited suitors lurk in dark corners waiting to for a chance they'll never take, and everyone looses.

The marginally attractive people get to date the most since they're not so fugly that they don't have confidence and/or folks won't revile touching them.

And the supa homely get to have really weird sex everytime they have sex, cause really why would someone have sex with the fugly person unless they wanted to do something crazy that no one else would do.

I think that super hawt people are sometimes not as sweet as we imagine they are in our heads. Sweet ass, no shake. Huge member, no endurance. Nice face, bad breath. Happens. No one ever thinks of it when they see this kinda stuff:

but she really needs a mint.

Worse, since hawt people are soo hawt, they're typically kinda dull. They've never had to try. Everything kidna falls into their lap. Which is where the dumb blond things comes from. Makes sense though. Why bother knowing anthing else if everything you want can be aquired by being ...you. Leaves those smart hawt people out in the cold.

Lastly, interesting hawt people have a love hate relationship with their hawtness. Only brazen idots and other dumb hawt people ever wanna be with them. It's sad, but often true. I'm guilty. I can't approach a supa hawt lady seriously. Supa smart ones scare me off too, but I want them. i want them all.

Ok, ok ok ok ok I'm ranting. I'm gonna stop now. Tell me what you think. Ever pass on a hawt person that you had a chance with? Ever get ignored by a timid person cause your milkshake brought too many boys to the yard? Ooh, better yet. Do this and report. Go "jokingly" ask a person who's too hawt for you out and see what happens. I'll do it to and report back, this could be fun.

Tony I think you are mostly correct. I think you have put this in some logical order. The thing I don't understand is your use of HAWT. Why would you take a 3 letter word and replace it with a 4 letter word. That would be like saying I am getting me some SECK tonight instead of just saying SEX? Does that make any sense? Although SECK is a real word I think you know what I mean. In this day and age shortening up words into acronyms or just making a word shorter is all the rage. Maybe using HT instead of HOT might be a good start :) I am also offended that you think I have no endurance!!
metalpeter - 01/27/10 20:08
What your saying makes a lot of sense. The thing is I would never go up to Megan Fox cause I know I wouldn't have a chance. The part where things get tricky is that when one person approaches another (not just a random meeting like you see a girl reading the sports and you ask her did the sabres win or she sees band on your shirt and wants to know where you got it or something like that) it is based on you finding something about them hot. But you still at some point need to think you are on the same level or at least close.

I think where things can get tricky again is that often times someone will let someone who is hot get away with more stuff in a relationship and sexually not saying that is a bad thing. Well again cause when you go out you are with the Hawt babe and when you are doing a 68 and she all ways owes you one you don't care cause you are eating hawt girl pussy.

But see this just leads to more problems because often people who are hot do get things because of it. Then that leads to people thinking that since you are hot you didn't work it. Best sports example is Tom Brady, a lot of people think he is a pretty boy and didn't work for any of his Success I think that might be why so many people think Manning is better but who knows?.....

If you are one of those hard workers who is hot it must piss you off if people think you get over on just your looks.

I will ad this as a final note I'm sure megan fox could get me to do some stuff that sexually I don't like, but I would try them for her. I bet Terra Patrick or maybe a couple other porn stars or Jessica Alba would get me to do stuff that I hate even more......
james - 01/27/10 11:22
Um. I'm like, super hot, and I am totally superfacial. I mean. Have you seen my face? It is totally super.

But I am not shallow. I, like, donate to charities for important things. Like, dolphins and junk.
jason - 01/27/10 10:19
Yes, extremely attractive people typically attract the most shallow of individuals. Usually it works out for them, because they're also typically shallow. Not in every case....but if you don't have to develop a personality or a conscience why do it? That's hard work.

The ones who are beautiful and have a head on their shoulders are very rare, but they need to connect with someone intellectually. If you're interesting yourself you have more of a chance than with the empty heads.
lilho - 01/27/10 00:26
ok wait, i think your theory is mostly but not all true, and depends on what kind of "hot" person they are and what area they live in and who they hang with.... but your theory is mostly true i think, true and sad....
lilho - 01/26/10 23:59
not all hot people are boring. some actually are super cool. but they are never single...
vincent - 01/26/10 21:44
Yea, I think you're on to something.
iriesara - 01/26/10 19:31
Not that I'm skinny now. Just wanted to qualify.
iriesara - 01/26/10 19:01
I concur. I've been on both sides. I've been fat & I've been skinny. I've been pretty & presentable as well as fuggo & homely. All in all I find it's much easier to be average. Too much vanity involved in vanity. Plus, as a skinny girl, I hate when girls look at you like your an asshole, and guys like you're a bitch. You just want to say, no, I'm actually a nice, interesting (I think) and somewhat intelligent person, not whatever you think I am by looking at me. And vice-versa.
It's all about the disarming-ness of approachability.

The Best Christmas Evar I
Category: unnerd
Ok,

I haven't posted in a long while. I know.

I've fallen victim to the instant gratification of Facebook like so many others (there I said it), but there's things that I wouldn't want to post there that I think are better suited here (like anything longer than 140 characters).

Quick update. Meg and I are getting along well(ish). We really don't have that many gripes between us and life is returning to something that we both might consider normal. She's in school for nursing and doing well at it, which makes me happy (as pigs in poop). It wasn't easy getting here but it was worth it and you get gems like Halloween 2009.

Mya's dad and step mom came down and we all went trick or treating.

Here's a video of us while we waited for everyone.

Halloween 2009



So the title. Here's a short video of the Fern on christmas morning. I have to get a bigger data card for my phone. The video isn't terrible as you can tell from halloween, but this vid cuts short of a lot of really cuuuuute things, sorry and sorry I've been gone for so long.

I didn't think she'd get through the box...but she did.

(E:strip) exclusive rousing finale

::Download Flash Video::



Kay that was kinda lame as an exclusive, but now that I know that those work I'll do more of them.

I have many more updates impending, but I'll get back to work for now. Maybe I'll see you at new year since the party's on. Otherwise, it's nice to be back.









tinypliny - 12/29/09 21:58
Your kids are so cute! Fern has grown up so fast, its amazing!
libertad - 12/29/09 19:28
Soo cute!

I'm really glad to hear that you and Meg are getting along. It is so awesome to see you guys spend time together with the kids. I think that is so important and I really commend you both for doing that.

GPhone
Category: nerd
So this is my first mobile post on my new HTC Hero, and I have to say, after a little bit of getting used to its prolly the best phone i have ever had.

The processor is a tad slow and it really can't stand much more than a few hour of constant useage before dieing, but all in all, its perdy solid.

This will be brief. I'm on a bathroom break so I don't have too much time but I will shoot up a shot from the phone so yall can see whaat kinda pics it takes. I even got a nice from (e:Matthew) on a shot I took with this ol' thing (that was exciting).

Windows Azure: MS Cloud Computing
Category: nerd
The MS opponent to Googles' ....Google. It is a platform that will allow you to develop and publish apps in a MS run data center.


I'll be updating this one too. Jim/Paul, I uploaded/emailed the vid 2 youtube, band as soon as I can see it I'll post it.

  • Sensitive data you should publish, you can't publish this stuff any place besides windows servers.
  • anyone can publish here, so crap software will make it in with a Windows Azure back end adding credulity to what evers on here.
  • example:

I updated the video...
paul - 07/22/09 00:08
How about the standard addEventListener?
paul - 07/21/09 23:57
I have it working now. I had to recompile ffmpeg to handle 3gp video with amr audio but now you should be good to go with windows mobile in the future. It auto converts to flv on the estrip server. You can upload form the mobile site up to 7MB for 3gp, flv and mp4 video.
enknot - 07/21/09 13:16
emailed it to youtube, I'll have it up asap...
mrdeadlier - 07/21/09 10:41
"buncha old dudes" ... classic
jim - 07/21/09 10:29
What was the answer to the supporting IE6 question?
paul - 07/21/09 10:13
That video is killing firefox for some reason. You should post to youtube and link that.
