5-14-99 Friday

Thanks to Lisa Q for sending me the following. I found it pretty funny.  It's a Dear Abby column but from a male's perspective.  Made me think of Josh for some reason.  Maybe I should change this to Dear Josh:

 

Dear Mr. Abby:
Q: My husband wants to experience three-in-a-bed-sex
with me and my sister.
A: Your husband is clearly devoted to you. He cannot get
enough of you, so he goes for the next best thing - your
sister. Far from being an issue, this will bring all of the
family together. Why not some cousins involved? If you are
still apprehensive, then let him go with your relatives, buy
him a nice, expensive present, and cook him a nice meal
and don't mention this aspect of his behavior.

Dear Mr. Abby:
Q: My husband continually asks me to perform oral sex
with him.
A: Do it. Sperm is not only great tasting, but has only 10
calories a spoonful. It is nutritious and helps you to keep
your figure and gives a great glow to the skin. Interestingly,
a man knows this. His offer to you to perform oral sex with
him is totally selfless. Oral sex is extremely painful for a
man. This shows he loves you. Best thing to do is to thank
him, buy him a nice, expensive present, and cook him a
nice meal.

Dear Mr.Abby:
Q: My husband has too many nights out with the boys.
A: This is perfectly natural behavior - and it should be
encouraged. The man is a hunter and he needs to prove
his prowess with other men. Far from being pleasurable,
a night out with the boys is a stressful affair, and to get
back to you is a relief for your partner. Just look back at how
emotional and happy the man is when he returns to his
stable home. Best thing to do is to buy him a nice,
expensive present, and cook him a nice meal and don't
mention this aspect of his behavior.

Dear Mr.Abby:
Q: My husband doesn't know where my clitoris is.
A: Your clitoris is of no concern to your husband. If you
must mess with it, do it in your own time. To help with the
family budget you may wish to video tape yourself while
doing this, and to sell it at car-boot sales. To ease your
selfish guilt, buy your man a nice expensive present, and
cook him a delicious meal.

Dear Mr.Abby:
Q: My husband is uninterested in foreplay.
A: Foreplay to a man is very hurtful. What it means is that
you do not love your man as much as you should - he has
to work a lot to get you in the mood. Abandon all wishes in
this area, and make it up to him by buying a nice
expensive present, and cooking a nice meal.

Dear Mr.Abby:
Q: My husband has never given me an orgasm.
A: The female orgasm is a myth. It is fostered by militant,
man-hating feminists and is a danger to the family unit.
Don't mention it again to him and show your love to him by
buying a nice expensive present ..and don't forget to cook
him a delicious meal.

I went to lunch with Matt and B today and Matt bought some Japanese Mochi Ice Cream balls.  Have you ever had those?   They are so yummy.  They are these doughy balls filled with ice cream and you can find them in Japanese and Chinese supermarkets.   I told Matt and B that I'm going to name my kid "Mochi Ball".   And I'm going to keep my last name so his name would be "Mochi Ball Chew".   

Most people talk about saving up for their kids' college tuition.  I'm saving up for my kids' therapy.  They are going to need it.

Dave Lau, Ian and Gabbi tied in number of referrals sent.

Ok, yes there are only 9 on the list.  Usually Fredlet would be up there but for some reason, I haven't gotten any hits thru her site these past few days. All the sites listed are personal web sites.  The majority of my hits come from webcam related sites or search engines.

Nelson's AArising site sent quite a few hits my way but since that's not a personal site, I didn't place it on the Top 10.

Thanks to everyone for linking me!!   **HUGS**


5-13-99 Thursday Nite 

Someone emailed me today asking whatever happened to my Palm Pilot. Well, I've been putting off fixing/replacing my Palm Pilot Pro now for 3 weeks but it's time to do something about it.   You know with my busy social calendar and all... See, every night I say to myself, "Self, I know there's something I was supposed to do tonight but I can't remember what.  Oh well, guess I'll go rearrange my sock drawer again." 

But socks no more. So I'm still undecided.  I called the Palm Pilot people and they said it would cost $100 to have my Pilot repaired.  The guy recommended that I buy a new one because I could get one for about $140 and have a 1 year warranty on it.  Now I'm not sure if I should buy a new one or try to find a used one somewhere out there (eBay?).  I bet there are a lot of people who wouldn't mind selling their old Pilots for cheap. But then I won't get any kind of warranty on it.  So any advice?  What say you?   Bite the bullet and buy a new one or try to hunt around for a used one? 

______________________________________

I like being with someone who makes me feel good and makes me feel good about myself.   It's funny, for me even if people say nice things to me, it means so much more if I hear it from someone that I care about.  Yeah, if you're a strong secure person, you should already feel good about yourself but in truth, hearing wonderful things from that certain someone can really make you feel GREAT.   Sooo...  I've been feeling pretty good lately.  We'll see how long it lasts...

I feel like I'm in limbo right now.   It's not really a bad feeling.   I feel like I'm just kind of coasting.  Seeing what the next day brings.   I kinda like it this way.  Much better than the angst.  Angst sucks.  Big time.

______________________________________
 
So a few people have asked me how I like my Powerline Wavemaster, aka the Monolith, as Ian likes to call it.    Frankly, I love it!  Spent a little time pounding on it tonight actually. 

It's does rock when I strike it, especially when I do kicks.  But it hasn't toppled over but I've been careful not to hit it too hard.   Hard but not too hard.  With the base completely filled, it's supposed to weigh about 250 pounds.  So I don't think it's likely to tip over. 

One thing I don't like is that it does move/slide slightly.   As I hit it repeatedly, it starts to slowly make it's way across my carpet. I try to strike it from different angles and sides so that it moves one way and then moves across my floor in another direction later.   But really, it's very gradual.   You only notice it gradually inching across the floor after repeated strikes.

Mike the Headless Chicken
Town celebrates headless critter of '40s
By Nancy Lofholm
Denver Post Staff Writer

May 11 - FRUITA - While most communities observe Colorado Heritage Week with events dedicated to pioneers, the town of Fruita has decided to celebrate with something that only the Western Slope town can crow about.

Mike the Headless Chicken Day on Sunday will honor a 1940s rooster who for 4 years strutted around, fattened up on grain and preened for hens - all without a head.

Mike lost his head in 1945 when a Fruita farmer, anticipating a chicken dinner, lopped off the head of a young Wyandotte rooster. Instead of croaking and getting sent to the cooking pot, Mike the rooster wobbled away from the chopping block and resumed his temporarily interrupted barnyard activities with the rest of the heads-on chickens.

His headless life garnered him spreads in Life and Time magazines and a listing in the Guinness Book of Records. He had his own manager and toured the country in sideshows with a two-headed calf. He was studied by scientists, who determined an intact brain stem was keeping Mike going.

For the rest of the story, go to the Denver Post website...

This appears to be a true story.    But who knows...

Bill Gates, Disney, Tommy Hilfiger, Good Times and YOU!

I've been getting quite a few emails from people containing some of the Urban Legends that have been passed around the Internet, ie. sick kids who need you to pass on a chain letter, Bill Gates giving away money if you forward the email, Tommy Hilfiger's racist remarks on the Oprah Winfrey show, etc.  I thought it might be a good idea to post the URL to a site that contains many of the Urban Legends and the information that debunks them. So, FYI to all you netheads out there, check out the Mining Co.'s Urban Legend and Folklore page:

Urban Legends and Folklore

And here's a good one with a list of the latest ones floating around the net:

Current Net Hoaxes, Urban Legends, and other digital lies...

 


5-11-99 Tuesday Nite 

Heat, passion, chemistry, pheromones...   Whatever it is, it makes the world go round. 

I've actually been really fascinated with pheromones for years now.  I found this web page that had some info on them and here's a snippet:

Johan's Guide to Aphrodisiacs Scents as Aphrodisiacs

Small, volatile organic molecules are of extreme importance among many animals for the transmission of information on sexual availability to members of the opposite sex. Such molecules are called pheromones, after a Greek word meaning "to transfer excitement".

(Here's what I found very interesting)

Other smells 
Even the smell of food can act as an aphrodisiac. Chicago neurologist Alan Hirsch rated male response to various smells by measuring changes in penile blood flow and found that food outperformed perfumes. The food highest on the rating list included cinnamon buns, roast meat and cheese pizza (but also, and less surprisingly so, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and peppermint). In some cases the average increase of penile blood flow was 40 %!. 

Guess what's on the menu next time I cook?   He he.   I wonder if I could market an "Eau de Cinnamon Bun" perfume.

______________________________________

I think there really is something to this scent/cologne stuff.   It's weird but I don't think I really react to cologne when I smell it on men but when I'm shopping and I unexpectedly smell a men's cologne (just the cologne itself on the shelf), it really gets to me. It makes me think of men when I'm not expecting it and I think that's what really turns me on.   When I'm not even thinking about it, I smell a "male" scent and go, "Whoa. Hmmmm. Yumm... men"   Maybe it's that element of surprise... 

Stealth seduction?  Hmmm, I think there's research to be done there... 

______________________________________
 

Sometimes I wish I could just take different men and put all their good parts/features together (toss out the very bad ones) and make some kind of Frankenstud.   There are some things I really like about one guy, but other things about him that just drive me nuts.   And the same with other guys. Hmm, I think women should be able to have male concubines, just like in the old days in China.   Oh wait, only the men had that.   Well, it's a new generation.  How bout I pave the road for a new trend?

Why can't it be so?   Make it so...

The Phantom Menace to Society

So I got an email with "The First Internet Review" of Star Wars Episode One, The Phantom Menace.   Now I'm not like a big Star Wars fan or anything.  I don't plan on waiting in line for days, weeks, Y2K or whatever.  I don't plan on running out to McDonald's to buy a Happy Meal so I can get a little plastic figurine of Jabba when he was just a wee Hutt.  However, I do plan on seeing the movie at some point and time.  Now I'm a little irked that there is this "Review" going around the Net.  I guess I'm one of those people who doesn't want to know details about a movie beforehand.  A simple "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" is the most I want to hear, otherwise I feel like it'll spoil the movie for me. 

______________________________________

I worked out again today. Did the Tae Bo Advanced tape, then pounded the crap out of my Powerline Wavemaster.

It felt really good actually.  I was bummed because we were supposed to have a softball double header yesterday but Ryan called and said the field was all messed up and muddy so our games were cancelled.   It worked out well though, cuz Bryan and Judy were in town and everyone was getting together for lunch so I was able to meet up with them.

 

Ev and I went with Raf to go get his hair cut yesterday and since I was in need of emergency hair care, I decided on a whim to cut mine too.  I had never been to this place before but I threw caution to the wind and put my tresses and locks in the hand of this older Chinese gentleman and what appeared to be his apprentice.  It was a strange experience in hair styling.  First the man instructed the younger apprentice-type dude to wash my hair.  Then after that, I was directed back to the older dude for the actual cut.  After the cut I was sent back to the younger dude to have my hair dried.  The drying took forever, longer than the haircut.   I swear it seemed like the guy was drying my hair strand by strand.   After my hair was finally dry, I was sent back to the older dude for the "styling".   I'm fairly happy with my hair cut but the whole "tag team" hair styling event was a little bizarre.  I swear, I thought the two guys were gonna high-five each other or maybe put their fists together and go "Wonder Twins Powers... Activate!  Form of a stylist! Shape of a hair dryer!" 
Adventures in hair styling...

Thanks to Seiichi I. for informing me that the June Issue of Yahoo! Internet Life magazine was hitting newstands on Thursday.   I was able to pick one up and sure enough, there was my site mentioned on Page 50.  Unfortunately the magazine's website doesn't carry the article and they haven't updated it with the latest issue's cover.   On the cover is Heather Graham who will be in the upcoming Austin Powers movie, "The Spy Who Shagged Me".

So the other day Lisa Q sends me an email saying "finally looked at your website again."  Now I've known Lisa since the second grade and she is one of my best friends.  We see each other fairly often and talk regularly.   So the other day, she goes to my site and discovers my journal for the first time.  This tells me it's probably been a year since she's seen my site.  I think most of my close friends think I have this little web site with some pictures on it and a webcam.  They're not much into the Web or the Net.  They have email and they surf when necessary but they are not webheads like some of us.  When I'm with them, I don't talk about my site that much although I did show them the article in Playboy.    Raf and Bryan were really excited.   To see the nudie pics of Sable that is.   I think eventually they flipped over to the article about me.

I know that Ev and Raf read the journal though.  Hi guys!!  Wasn't the Korean BBQ the other day yummy?  Next time I'm gonna order the Bi Bim Bop. 
1) Because it looked really yummy.  2) I just like saying "Bi Bim Bop"
