I hate the fact that theres always sexual type stuff aimed at men…there's ads with sexy women,tv , movies, music videos with half naked chicks, there's porn, facebook ..with fucking sluts…even instagram..anything to do with media and everywhere you go there has to be a sexy lady .. or on the…
I'm just one person but I've had a very different experience on my end of life. Most of the girls that have been in my life always had eyes for other men. I was never indirect about liking them, I would ask them out, take them out on dates and such. But it always ended a week or two later, because she wants to flirt with others before she's officially with me, and have me wait like a lost puppy for her to be done. Basically I've been a lot of girl's second choices, next to first choices that either weren't interested in them or unavailable. And girls expect guys to line up for them, because sadly they kind of do, and as a result I've found a lot of girls hold a mentality that guys are only interested and/or motivated by sex, and therefore any guy that likes them is nothing more than an option to keep open next to their crush. I've had girls do this to me, and I've watched guys in the "friendzone" so to speak; put up with it. But I don't tolerate estrogen inspired bullshit anymore than testosterone inspired bullshit. If you do not value my affection enough to desire me, then you have no right to it, and have no right to assume you do while you flirt casually with your crush. Girls can look just as much as guys, and if either gender is insecure about that they can take it up with their boyfriend/girlfriend.
This is surely the pinaccle of acting

HP's new Windows 8-powered 'All-in-one' PCs: gallery
Summary: HP has just unveiled four new 'All-in-one' systems - HP Spectre One, HP Envy 23, HP Envy 20 TouchSmart and the HP Pavilion 20 - in a range of prices that should suit all budgets.
17 of 25Image
- 23-inch HD touchscreen system;
- Ivy Bridge CPUs;
- Up to 3TB of storage;
- Prices start from $999, and systems will be available in October.
Image source: HP.
While the Spectre One is not a touchscreen system, the Envy 23 is, featuring a 23-inch multitouch HD screen.
The Envy 23 is the bigger brother of the Envy 20, offering more screen real estate to show off the Windows 8 operating system. It is aimed at those with more desk space to spare and a bigger budget.
The display is a 'flush glass' design, and as such there's no bezel for the finger to catch on when swiping the screen.
Image source: HP.
The Envy 23 will be powered by third-generation Intel Core processors based on Ivy Bridge technology. This means that there's no compromise in terms of performance, either in terms of styling or performance.
However, one compromise that HP has made with the Envy series compared to the Spectre One is that the cool brushed aluminum has been replaced with cheaper plastic.
If you want style, it's going to cost you.

Dear all racist Americans,
First, Nina Davuluri is Indian, not an Arab or Egyptian. These are different countries, with different languages, cultures and customs. Please check your Atlas.
Second, Nina Davuluri is not a Muslim. She is a Hindu. For those of you ignorant to not know what these are, they are separate religions, with very different beliefs. Therefore, Nina Davuluri is not a terrorist, and had nothing to do with 9/11.
Also, did you know that not all Muslims are terrorists? I know, shocker, right?
Third, she is born an American. If you can have a black president, why can't you have a brown Miss America?
And finally, by the same logic, you white people are of European descent and therefore have no right to win Miss America, either, correct? Only native Americans should be allowed to run, right?
While I think it's fantastic that you are pointing out the problematic nature of people's racist reactions to the crowning of Nina Davuluri as Miss America, I did find your wording of part of this post a little worrisome. I know you are intending to do a good thing, and please don't take what I say the wrong way, since I really appreciate the message and intent behind your post.
However, when you say that "Nina Davuluri is not a Muslim. She is a Hindu…Therefore, Nina Davuluri is not a terrorist, and had nothing to do with 9/11", it seems to me to suggest that just because somebody is not Muslim, it clears them from the possibility of being a terrorist — entailing that only Muslims are terrorists.
Now, I do not think Nina Davuluri is a terrorist, and that is not my message here at all. I realize that you have also pointed out that 'not all Muslims are terrorists', but by saying that just because someone is not Muslim, therefore they are not a terrorist troubles me a little. It suggests to me that, as long as one is not a Muslim, one cannot be a terrorist, or at least will not/should not be accused of such, whereas if one is Muslim, that suspicion is valid simply based on that part of one's identity.
I am pretty sure you did not mean it this way, but I think it is important to be careful with such a sensitive issue. I do not mean to offend you at all, and I apologize if I have, but I felt this was something important for me to voice.
Thank you for your phone number sent in an instant message spanning the country that is neither yours or mine. How's the view from the other coast? That's all I wanted to ask. But I could not hold the quarters. My hands shake when I am excited or terrified. I don't think I could ever quite tell the difference. I'm sorry I never said hello. If it means anything at all, I wrote about payphones for a year and thought about them for two more — and you were always the on the other end of that call.
My skin itches before the start of winter to let me know that it's going to be a cold one. This week has been cold like it used to be when I still had recess. Now there is no such clear division between work and play. Now, I am always doing, doing things I want or have to do. Sometimes I cannot tell the difference.
It seems that it is possible not to want what is best for people you love. Sometimes it's because you just don't understand what the best things are for them. And other times you let something selfish get in the way. The latter is the uglier of the two, but also easier to fix. It is easier to remove ourselves from equations than we let ourselves believe.
My hair goes in curls in the springtime, and summertime, and autumn. It is in curls even in the winter now. I often wonder what this means, or if it is supposed to mean anything at all. I read meaning into spirals going downward, springing upward — both ways at the same time. I am both ways at the same time. They say you can't go anywhere with one foot in the boat and the other on the shore, but I have built my home in the place where the ocean meets the beach.
If distance makes the heart grow fonder, then why is it harder to love people when they are away? And harder still to love those who are closer, but not close enough to close the gaps left by whomever is missing. Empty space is better filled out like a form, with scrawled in reminders for lunch dates and work shifts and movie screening times. Somehow this is the best that we can do.
Someone needs to write a list of numbers you can call when the band aren't very good and you're not having a nice time.
I really feel as though I need to talk somebody older and wiser.
I've recently been in a very decorative mood. I'm trying to think of inexpensive and creative ways to make my room here at university feel a bit more personal. This is just a little something that I came up with as a result.
I found these mason jars at a thrift store and instantly loved them! I've had a thing for mason jars ever since I made glow-in-the-dark mason jars for my room (perhaps something that should go in an upcoming post), but I felt that these especially had a lot of character with their embossed writing. So I brought them home and used them to hold fake flowers. They've really helped to freshen up my room, and I'm really happy with how they look sitting on top of my bookshelf.

"It's a funny thing coming home. Nothing changes. Everything looks the same, feels the same, even smells the same. You realize what's changed is you."
F. Scott Fitzgerald (via theflowershop)
I am usually not one to do something like this… but this really bothered me. This is not actually a quote by Fitzgerald. This is a quote from the screenplay of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, written by Eric Roth. Fitzgerald did write a short story of the same name by which the film was inspired, but it is a very short work in which this line (and many of the events in the film) does not appear.

Solace is an uncollected Salinger story from 1944. When I can say no more than what the tremor in my left hand articulates, I like to pull myself under the cover of a February I never lived. The words that were read originally in the pages of The Saturday Evening Post now comfort me through whichever white screen is nearest. I wonder if Salinger knew that long after the thoughts ever crossed his mind, that after his own passing, there would be a girl who reads Both Parties Concerned whenever she needs to feel that there is someone to wake if the nighttime becomes too frightening.

"I'll bet you can't!"
"I can too."
"You think you can climb to the top of that pole?" came another voice.
The three boys in blue jeans and T-shirts stared up at the top of the power pole. It seemed like it was a mile high.
"Sure, no problem. See the spikes sticking out the sides. That's what they're for."
"Yeh, but that's for the power company, not for you."
"Well if they can do it. I can too."
"No Mike, don't do it, you'll get in trouble. Your mom will be mad. She'll probably ground you for life."
"Nah, she won't care. She's got a new boy friend"
"I wish my mom was like yours."
"Yeh, your mom is nice."
"Well, she listens to you. She doesn't yell at you all the time and she always wants to meet your friends. My mom and dad never want to see my friends. As long as I'm out of their way after supper, they're happy. I know dad works hard all day, but still, it would be nice if we could do things together, like you and your mom and sister."
"My dad is OK. We don't go out together though. He's too busy." from Tim.
"Yeh, maybe I won't climb the pole. It wouldn't be a good example for Susie." Although he still seemed to be checking out the pole.
"Mr. Jones, our Sunday School teacher did say we should be an example for our friends and those younger than us. Thank you Joe for reminding me. You know you're a good friend. You look out for me, you too, Tim. And mom does need some adult company. And Dick is a nice man, he doesn't mind if Susie and I are around."
As they headed towards home, Mike said, "Dick told me he was going to take me fishing some weekend, maybe he'll take you guys too. I can ask him."
"Maybe you should go out with him alone first. Then if he sounds interested we could go next time." Joe said.
"Yea, we don't want to scare him off."
The very next day as the boys were walking to school, Mike couldn't seem to hold back his excitement. "Joe, Tim, guess what! Dick is taking me fishing on Saturday. I can hardly wait."
"You're lucky man. Don't forget to ask if I can come next time. OK." from Joe.
"Oh, I'm sure he won't mind. He's excellent. You know, I think he likes my mom. I don't know why. She's pretty old. But I guess he is too. I'll make sure I ask him if you can come next time."
After school that day as Joe came in the front door, he heard his mother crying on the phone, "I don't know Jill, Frank is talking about divorce. I don't know what to do." Mike and Tim were waiting outside so they could go to the park.
Joe stopped in his tracks. What was this? Dad wouldn't leave would he? Things weren't that bad were they? Gee, he'd have to think about this.
"Hi mom, is anything wrong."
"Nothing you can help with. Just leave me alone."
Joe rushed out the door tears running down his cheeks. Tim and Mike ran after him. As he raced towards the playground he bumped into a large body.
"Hi Joe. Is something wrong?" It was Mr. Jones his Sunday school teacher, he grabbed Joe by the arm. Joe tried to shake him off. "You wouldn't understand."
"Why don't you try me."
"My dad is going to leave, divorce us."
"Why do you say that?"
"I heard mom talking on the phone." She was mad.
"What did she say?"
So Joe told Mr. Jones what he had overheard.
"Listen son, you don't worry about it. Lets pray that God will take care of this," so they bowed their heads and Mr. Jones said a quick prayer.
"Joe, why don't you come home with me. I'll phone your dad and talk to him. OK? Are you boys with Joe?" as he noticed the two boys staring at them. "Maybe you can talk to Joe later."
"Dad will probably be mad at me. He's been kind of grouchy lately"
"Oh, I'm sure he won't be mad, upset maybe."
So they walked down the street to Mr. Jones' house, as they passed Mike's house he saw Tim and Mike going inside. They waved to Joe and Mr. Jones.
"Can you come in for a while?" to Tim.
"Well I can't stay long, my mom likes me to get at my home work before she gets home."
"Maybe, we could work on our homework together?"
"You sure your mom won't be mad?"
"Oh no, we can have some juice and an apple."
So the two boys went into Mike's room, chattering like squirrels.
"I hope Joe is alright," Mike spoke thoughtfully.
"Yea, that must be rough. What should we do first? Math?"
Down the street, Mr. Jones was talking with Joe's dad.
"Sure, I understand, Frank. Maybe we can talk about it. How about going someplace for a coffee, after supper? What about tomorrow evening?"

Sun-drenched SoCal noise-poppers Best Coast and Wavves have teamed up on a joint tour they've dubbed "Summer Is Forever." It's a pretty bold move, then, bringing that sweltering traveling sideshow through Minneapolis during the heart of winter, but hopefully their bright, vivacious brand of beach-side garage rock will warm all of us up for at least one night. Best Coast frontwoman Bethany Cosentino (pictured) and Wavves mastermind Nathan Williams have an on again/off again relationship that will certainly make this tour an intriguing one for the two of them, but that familiarity should also forge a sense of togetherness and playful competition that will serve to energize their performances. While the dreamy pop featured on Best Coast's insanely catchy debut, Crazy for You, takes on a livelier, grittier edge in a live setting, you never truly know what you are going to get from a Wavves performance—and that unpredictability and instability is clearly part of the overall appeal of the band. Hopefully the memorable meltdowns in Williams's past are behind him, and he can instead focus proudly on the fervent batch of tunes featured on King of the Beach. Both bands should have no trouble building on one another's boundless energy on this night, which is made to remind all of us that winter will eventually be over. 18+.

FILM: "The Artist"
Wow, this is thrilling. I want to thank Michel Hazanavicius for making a beautiful film and having me along for the ride, Thomas Langmann for believing in the film and getting the resources together to make it, and Harvey Weinstein and The Weinstein Company for getting it out to the world. I want to thank my wonderful crew and…you know, I was just a kid from Niagara Falls who dreamed, ate, and slept movies and so I want to thank the Academy for this honor and for making a lifelong dream come true. Thank you.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - The corrections department says it has the two drugs needed to execute a DeSoto Parish man next week by lethal injection.
Christopher Sepulvado is scheduled to be executed Feb. 5 for the 1992 murder of his 6-year-old stepson.
Louisiana's corrections department announced this week it was changing its execution process to a two-drug method used in Ohio, after trouble purchasing another lethal injection drug.
Pam Laborde, a corrections department spokeswoman, said Friday the agency's two pharmacies commonly carry the drugs used in the new lethal injection plan and has sufficient supplies.
Sepulvado's lawyers are asking a federal judge and the U.S. Supreme Court to stop the plans. They say the two-drug combination increases the risk of painful death and could violate Sepulvado's constitutional right against cruel and unusual punishment.

Can you blame black men for dating and marrying outside of their race when Black Women in general are the most viciously Misandric and Anti-Male race of females.
Black Women have made it a ritual of demonizing black men in the white media on talk shows, reality TV, nightline specials, etc.
"Niggas ain't shit"
"Black men are in jail"
"Black men are deadbeat"
"Black men are down low"
"Black men are uneducated"
And on and on and on and on and on.
When a young black boy grows up around black women constantly demonizing and downing black men, he subconsciously will never want to associate with those women when he grows up. Can you blame him? Why would you blame these brothers for abandoning a group of women who hate them and gravitating towards those who are more supportive and appreciative.
Black Women really need to start checking themselves and such blatant vile treachery. Black Women need to cut out all of the viciously anti-male Misandric rhetoric and sentiments from their circles.
Maybe then and only then will more black men start gravitating towards more black women, but this will NEVER happen if the outright hatred that so many black women have for black men does not end.
