  • How Often Do You Look At Porn?

    I was just reading a post where a woman mentioned that women look at porn on average once a month.

    (Sarah Palin lookalike porn).

    The woman in the post admitted she looked at porn twice a week and asked her readers how often they look at porn.  Here is the link:  Link

    The woman is taking a human sexuality class and her teacher said men look at porn 5 times as much as women.  So I guess that would mean guys look at porn a little more than once a week.

    How often do you view porn?

                                              

  • Evolution and Psuedo Scientist

    I had a professor in college who was an atheist.  He had two earned doctorate degrees.  He had been teaching for 30-35 years.  I took his class because everyone talked about how he was an awesome teacher.

    He was a geologist.  He told us in one of the first classes that he would not test us on the time lines of when things took place.  He also told us he would not test us about the origins of the Earth.  He told us that the information on those topics was always changing.  Then he said, “I will stick to the science.”

    The teacher taught us about the Earth’s crust.  He taught us about how volcanoes impacted the Earth’s surface.  He taught us about metamorphism.  And true to form, he focused on the science.  He was an awesome teacher and I learned so much from his class.  He was also funny adding in little jokes.  I could tell why students loved him.

    When I think of a scientist, I think of him.

    I had a tumor years ago right when I started on xanga.  I asked around because I wanted the very best doctor to treat me.  One name came up twice.  The doctor was only 38 but she was super smart.  I could tell from the very beginning why she was recommended.

    She dedicated herself to one type of cancer and treated it with all of her might. 

    She was clearly a scientist.  Her husband was also a doctor.

    It appears to me that scientists focus on the big issues.  They will attempt to cure cancer.  They will try to find out why a rare disease is killing young children.  They will study hard and tackle the issues of our time.  They will attempt to give us advance warnings of tornado activity.  They will warn a whole country of the potential of a tsunami.

    I have always wondered why someone would want to be a pseudo scientist and focus on evolution. 

    It just appears that the only thing that is good for is correcting people on the Internet.  Perhaps they just couldn’t make it as doctors or scientists.
                                                       
     

  • Sexy Firemen

    According to Glamour magazine, about 75% of women fantasize about their man dressing up as a fireman.  Here is the link:  Link

    I guess I am going to have to get the fireman outfit out to fulfill the fantasy for my wife.

    Ladies, do you really fantasize about firemen?

                                                        

  • Punishing Your Dog

    Back when I was a kid, my parents taught us how to punish our dog if she pooped where she was not supposed to poop.

    We were supposed to stick her face up to her poop.  And then we were supposed to swat her side a few times.  I mentioned this one time and people said it was wrong to stick her face in her poop.  One person mentioned it is wrong to slap a dog’s side because it could injure her back legs.

    Is it wrong to swat a dog and stick her nose in her own poop?

                                                       

  • Packers Win

    The Packers won the Super Bowl.

    It was a pretty exciting game and I enjoyed the half time show.  The Black Eyed Peas dropped out of the ceiling of the dome. 

    They said Fergie was afraid to drop from the ceiling.

    Do you think you could have dropped out of the ceiling for the Super Bowl?

                                                                                           

  • The Big Game

    Is it me or is this big baseball game tonight overrated?
                                    
                                                              

  • One of The Days That Changed Me

     I had two nights in my life that I would describe as the worse nights of my life.  The first happened 9 years ago and the second happened 8 years ago.  Both of them happened right around Valentine’s Day so this causes this time of the year to stand out.

    r

    The first time was when I served in what you would call a “public” position.  After I had served in that position for 4 years, someone made a motion to have me removed from that position.  Under the rules of the organization, if one person made a motion it had to go to a vote.

    So a meeting was set up to determine if I would keep my position.  There were 47 people that were allowed to vote.  I told my wife that I felt 13-14 would vote against me and told her who they were.  I told her the rest would vote with me.

    I guessed the vote exactly.  14 people voted against me.  I tend to be very intuitive.  I can sense at any given moment if someone is with me or against me. 

    In the meeting, it was open to debate whether I would keep my position so people were allowed to speak for me or against me.  The meeting lasted 2 hours.  For two hours I listened to people say negative things about me. It is hard to describe what happens to you when you are standing up in front of a very large group of people and having people say negative things about you for 2 hours. 

    I must admit that I changed that night.  I used to believe that people were fundamentally good.  I no longer believe that.  Yes, I won the vote.  People told me I came out of that meeting so strong and that everyone stood behind me.  But if you have ever had a meeting like that, you would know that you don’t recover quickly from spending two hours having people say stuff about you.  Some said I showed favorites in my position.  Others said I lied to them. 

    I never responded to one accusation that night.  I didn’t say a word.  Why?  Because I knew I was going to have 13-14 people vote against me and I was going to win the vote.  So it didn’t make sense for me to say something unwise.  I was concerned a little that people might believe what people said but none of the stuff said stuck to me.  It just bounced off and no one held it against me.

    But the night was very painful.  For a few years it really framed how I viewed people.  It really made me prize loyalty in friendship.  I say over and over again that loyalty is king.  Now some of you will disagree.  That is fine.  Take all the disloyal people you want.  I don’t want them around me anyway.  I will keep loyal friends.

    I don’t serve in a public position anymore.  I will never do that again. I used to want to run for the U.S. Senate but I won’t do that.  Why?  I don’t want to invite people to criticize me.  It is not worth it.

    It is funny given how my stay on xanga has turned out.  Obviously xanga is not the same as serving in a public position.  But it is interesting to look over the crowd.  So many people over the years have sent me private messages and claimed friendship and yet have turned around and betrayed that trust in one way or another.  But on the other hand, so many others have been such loyal friends and never asked me to explain myself.  Should our friends get an explanation?  Probably.  But I have found over and over again that real friends don’t need an explanation.

    But as I look over the crowd of xanga and I read comments and get private messages, I can still pick out the 13-14 that will vote against me.  I can still pick out the people who will be faithful friends. 

    How? 

    If someone can’t be faithful to any of their friends, they will never be faithful to you.

  • Ashamed of The Song

    This morning I was pulling up to work and I was playing a Michael Jackson song and it was loud enough for a guy to hear.  He said, “So you like Michael Jackson?”

    What musician or song do you like that you are ashamed of?
