On askmen they explain to you how important starting up conversations are in all parts of your life. Professionally and romantically you need to be able to start conversations. What? Now you tell me. I have been hiding away all this time because I guess I just undervalued being able to talk to people. This site is actually acting is if I want to hear what you have to say and I actually want to hear it at that moment. It is one thing to hear it in a text or email but a whole other thing to hear it in person. Because that means I actually have to give my full attention. What is this world coming to when I am expected to pay attention to your boring talk. Talk about your family, talk about yourself. Blah Blah Blah. Isn't there some other guy willing to listen? Yeah he is right over there. He is waiting so go try it on him. He probably wants to get with you bad enough, he will work through it. And some of the girls I actually gave some time to, what the heck was I thinking. Sometimes you get blinded, and I think I can read myself pretty well but even I get caught up-look back and say what the F? But I guess I was doing what I was supposed to-having conversation. I am proud of myself then, just as the world is proud of me. Right?
So enough about me now I will get into what the site says:
Step 1:
Use inviting body language:
OK, I think I can do that. No I can't I mean it is asking first to smile, which I do when I am entertained but I won't just sit there smiling looking around the room. Then it says "Don't say hi in an disinterested tone." What the F? I kill disinterested tone, I thought that was part of the game I was running now they say don't do it.
Step 2:
Open with an open-ended question
Oh I am good with questions. I kill step 2. I love to start with something like what kind of underwear are you wearing? Or how do you feel about integrity? Or what are you looking at? Or just plain "what"? The what is classic because it makes it awkward right off the back. Especially if I say it with a smile and seem interested like in step 1. I got step 2 down don't worry.
Step 3:
Reword their answer into a new question:
OK say they are like just regular black lace panties. I guess I would then say oh really I love lace, you must love lace huh? Or oh black hmm I like black it is my third favorite color right behind gray and blue, what is your favorite color- top 3 please?
I think I got this one.
Step 4:
Pass on control of the conversation:
It says that human nature teaches us that regardless of what we think, we are our own favorite topic. Well I believe that is probably true but some people seem to love talking about themselves a lot more than others. I have no problem listening when it is interesting. I will either give you control if you show the ability to lead an interesting conversation or I will take back control by getting the heck out of the conversation. I am sweet at avoiding conversation and pushing you onto someone else.
All in all I have learned a few things from this- one I am a horrible conversationalist. Actually I already knew that. But I like to think I can turn it on when I need to. Yep it's that easy. I wish I could have a lot of my good conversations- of any sort- in person, text, email- back because I think I have wasted a lot of them. I only have a certain amount of good material and I don't like to repeat jokes but I may have to, but if I didn't waste the good stuff then I would be in better shape in the future. Thanks for taking all my good stuff- I wasted it on you. I also learned that if you can get the person to just start talking about themselves, everything will take care of itself and you just have to grin and bear it as you sit there and listen to them talk, and throw in an occasional comment to make them think you are listening. "Ohhh yeah. Really. That is so cool" See I am already getting the hang of it. You guys may see me out which I hope, not but you may, but don't worry I will not be faking it with you, I will really be interested in what you have to say. Promise.
I wonder if being a good conversationalist in my own head counts for anything? I never fake it with myself. Well not usually.

The Gift
So in honor of Valentine's Day, which is just such a sweet holiday, I decided to read about it on the glamour website. And the best article was what your man's gift means to you. Now I am sure these are stupid women writing these articles, not men, so I doubt they have a clue what they are talking about. So I am going to tell you what I think each gift means and then I will let you in on what these numbnut women writers think men mean.
Gifts for you:
Perfume-
My opinion: Most likely he doesn't like what you are wearing right now. He wants you to wear something he likes the smell of. He has probably told you he likes what you are wearing but "yeah why don't you go ahead and try this for something different." Basically he thinks you smell.
Glamour: I'd like you to be my girlfriend.
My opinion- can't a guy just not like the perfume his girl wears and want to buy something he likes. I mean he has to smell it all the time also, shouldn't he want to like it as well. Why does it have to mean I want you to be my girlfriend. Not I want you to actually smell good because right now you don't I am just to nice to tell you.
Lingerie-
My opinion: He just wants you to look finally look hot before he hits. Your outfit that you have is not doing it for him. He has a vision of what he thinks will look hot on you, and your idea of that is not cutting it. He won't tell you this straight up because he is a loser but the same black panties are not doing it for him anymore. So put on the ridiculous outfit he bought because I am sure he had to go through a lot of trouble to get it.
Glamour- Let's spice up the bedroom.
My opinion- Yep exactly, no spice because you don't know what looks hot to a guy- nice try though.
Chocolate Hearts-
My opinion: First off you have to dump this guy right away because if not he is either gay or just not that into you and would rather be friends. But if you must hang onto him then get ready because something is coming in the future. And don't be surprised if what is coming is "I am sorry to tell you this but, I just got torn up by john last week. But I still want to be friends. And do you by any chance have any caramel chocolate pieces left from the chocolate heart I gave you last week because I have really been craving that lately, along with wiener."
Glamour- I'm in sixth grade
My opinion- haha that is pretty good actually, they do mention something about being friends in it also. Doing well so far.
Diamond Earrings-
Now I don't think that is that big of a deal but I am sure you girls will. So I guess a guy should know that before he buys it. It is a risky gift because you make it seem so serious that if you think your not on that level everything could go down hill from a dumb gift, something you should actually like. The guy better make sure he knows where you stand before he gives this.
Glamour- Were engaged to be engaged
My opinion- see way overreacting by stupid girls. But the guy should know what he is getting himself into so it is on the guy then.
Two Dozen Long Stem Roses-
My Opinion- What a douchebag. I mean of all the days during the year, you bring her long stem roses. She better have told you before she loves long stem roses and not just because that is what you gave her but actually loves them. I mean they are sweet flowers but so cliche at this point, what a lack of creativity. If you get these from your guy you need to raise your expectations and tell your guy to get a clue.
Glamour- He is trying to look good
My opinion- What a douchebag if that is the case. Who is impressed with that? I would be impressed if he actually had an arrangement that was well impressive. Every guy in the world knows about roses. Who cares if he gives them to you on the day he is supposed to. What a loser. You should be ashamed of yourself for giving him props on the flowers as well, letting him think he is doing well when he is not. It is as much your fault as his then. But I guess it is the thought that counts.
A frying pan:
See I like this gift. It is not about being impressive, look at what I am giving the girl. This is a gift that never needs to be known to people that you gave it to her but it will always come in handy. To me this seems very practical but I know a girl will hate on this because it is not sexy or showy. If you give this you better get her some sweet undies so she will have something to be excited about.
Glamour- Break up with me I am an idiot
My opinion: of course they would say that because they are insecure women who need something to show to their annoying friends. Look at how much my man loves me he gave me(fill in the blank for whatever unpractical gift he gave me). Showy gifts are good but nothing wrong with down to earth gifts also. Don't hate, just shut up and start cooking.
Bath and Shower gel/lotion-
Maybe they just don't know what to get you. You need to start dropping hints. Once again it's your fault your getting this gift. It could never be that the guy has not paid attention enough to what you want or tried to make an effort to see what you want. Nope you get exactly what you deserve.
Glamour- I am intimidated by gift giving
My opinion- See what you did. You now have your guy just scared about buying the wrong thing so now he has to go safe and pick up either roses or this. This is not as cliche but it's right up there. Once again it is your fault. Stop dropping hints then and just say "you know what just give me some crotchless panties and the newest Nicholas sparks book and then we can hurry up and do it because I can't wait to find out what happens in this book." And then he is like "so you don't want this shower gel then? You said you loved the last three I got you, I figured I would go ahead and complete the set." And you are like "are we going to do this or not because Grey's anatomy is about to start and you know how I get when I miss part of it?"
A computer or other electronic necessity-
My opinion-I don't mind this if you really need it. If it is just the dude trying to have you brag about him then-no not impressed but if it is genuine and you actually need this then it's cool. I like practical.
Glamour-I'm a thoughtful guy
My opinion- see maybe that is what he wants you to think, the whole time he knows you will tell people how thoughtful he is. What a douchebag. Lose him now!
A massage-
My opinion-Girls love this kinda thing but I don't get it. I guess it is not about the guy so it is a good gift because well if the girl loves it and the guy doesn't get it at all but still gives it then he is not thinking about himself at all which is what most guys are doing. Especially if he is picturing someone else's hands rubbing you down with the oil he could have bought you at bath and body works.
Glamour-I feel like I am stressing you out
My opinion-No glamour, guys don't think that way. They can tell you are stressed out and need a day to relax but they will never think it's only them. They will just think they are part of the whole thing like work and your mom, your friends, the kids. It is never just all their fault. Come on.
Plane Tickets-
This is a sweet gift. Unless it's just the tickets and your just riding on the plane. Then he is just trying to pull off the mile high club and turn right back around. But if this entails going on a trip then I love this gift. Romantic and creative. That is what it is all about. He planned it out an advance I hope and was thinking of what you would want to do. Finally this guy is a keeper.
Glamour- He is feeling mega romantic.
Mega anything is annoying. I don't want to hear that word when describing anything that I do or say. Just say oh he is being romantic. That is enough no need for mega romantic. The guy who needs to hear that again has a mega ego and needs to not only be slapped in the face once you land wherever your going, but also needs to be flying home alone(Macaulay Culkin) because he is a mega numbnut. Make sure though you get all you can out of him while you are on the trip. Why not, your already out there you may as well have a good time right?
So there is it the list. They did alright this time. But they seem to think some of these guys are more romantic then they really are. Most of these guys are just losers trying to hit. The guy not trying to hit is the guy giving the frying pan. But he is probably over you anyway by now and has seen you naked way to many times, he doesn't even care to see you like that again. So he is probably like look if I give her this she will leave me alone for awhile so I can go watch the game. You girls have already made up your minds about the guy your with, you don't see what is really there you see what you want to see. So even though I am telling you most of these guys are losers, you just buy right into what they are selling. You will find out soon enough. Don't worry I wont say I told you so.
Happy Valentine's Day- hope you got a good gift.

GET AFTER IT
Horrible dunk contest. These guys just don't bring it anymore. They need to get some of these street dunkers into the contest because they will blow it up. I have seen these dudes online doing crazy dunks, way better then anything we have seen lately.
The first day of the Olympics was sweet. Got to see some speed skating, a little hockey, a little luge, and some moguls. These athletes are sick though. I can not do any of the sports I just mentioned. I am looking forward to some downhill but I will have to wait until the weather gets better.
Alright so in honor of the downhill, I will give you what I am hoping is the real star of the Olympics. This coach was part of the men's ski team for the U.S. and every time a skier would be about to start, he would be somewhere in the background just yelling out crazy things to the skier, I guess just trying to get him all pumped for the crazy downhill action he was about to get up on. He has an insane voice, I would love for this dude to yell at me before any sporting event. So you just have to pay attention to when the skiers are in the starting gate. That is when you will hear the magic. I have no clue what his name is. I don't even know at this point if he is still with the U.S. team, but I am really hoping he is. I will definitely be looking and listening for him. Here are the clips.

I really hope when you guys watch the downhill, you will be cheering in a deep voice yelling out crazy, manly quotes.
"Come on Bode Miller"
"Get after it"
"Come On"

Opening Ceremonies
Here are my thoughts of the opening ceremonies for the winter Olympics.
1. The biggest moment of the night is lighting the cauldron. How the F do you mess that part up?If you were to decide which part you least want to mess up, that would be on the top of the list. There is no excuse for that fourth column to not come up, you have been working on this for at least two years now Vancouver, and you F'ed it up.
2. When looking at the team's coming through, I was surprised Israel had a person with blond hair on their team and also the stereotype of Swedish girls being hot is true as far as I saw tonight.
3. It seemed like all of the artist were lip syncing- if you have to lip sync, do a better job of it please. Try to fool me like you are really singing.
4. Those Indians freakin killed it. They danced for like an hour straight.
5. I thought for sure Sarah Mclachlan would have some really sad and upsetting dogs and cats sitting by her side while she was playing her song. Does anyone ever get through a whole commercial of hers anyway? I never can, I always turn it.
6. The poet they had looked ridiculous. I mean this is probably the biggest night of his life and he looked like a mess. Not many guys can pull off a neck beard and no other facial hair and he is one that can't. He should have shaved, why would you ever think yep this neck beard looks really good to rock in front of millions and millions. It made him look fat, or was that just because he was fat, I don't know but it didn't help.
7. I liked all of the stuff they did for the luge guy that died. The moment of silence was touching and when seeing the Georgia team walk out and the crowd giving them a standing ovation, that was really nice. I liked that.
8. My sister and I were hoping that Alex Trebek would be the guy who carries the final torch. That would have been classic. "And now to carry the last torch- the host of jeopardy Alex Trebek." That would have been sweet.
9. Gretzky looked all kinds of nervous the whole time they showed him. Maybe he knew something was up and it would not go off smooth because he never looked comfortable. Maybe he is afraid of fire and in that case Trebek would have filled in nicely. I doubt Trebek would have looked nervous. Plus Gretzky and the others looked goofy doing that little fake jog/walk that people do like when they cross the street when they are trying to look as if they are hurrying for the driver when really they could walk just as fast. Well all of the people carrying the torch did that run except for Nash and the wheelchair guy who looked like he was even struggling at first but then must have gotten some momentum cause he started killing it.
10. If I would not have known it was K.D. Lang doing the hallelujah song I would for sure have thought that was a guy. Why would she go for that look, it is not a good look at all and if you insist on that look then get a better fitting suit. She definitely has the money for a tailor, that thing looked like her brother's suit. Again with not being prepared like she just heard the day before that the Olympics were coming up. "Hey Mike Lang, can I borrow your suit because I don't have anything to lip sync to?" I don't know if that is her brothers name but it's not like she would use his last name anyway. That hallelujah song is getting too much play now also. They sung that at the Haiti tribute thing. It's a good song but it's getting overused now.
11. I didn't like the sweater the U.S.A. team was wearing. The cream turtleneck was not sweet. The hat wasn't that bad though.
12. So all in all it seemed like a pretty good night for Vancouver, except for the biggest part of the night the lighting ceremony. It still blows me away that that part would ever get messed up. That and that I didn't see Alex Trebek, who was born in Ontario. Maybe because he is now a citizen of the US, that is why they didn't have him. Still he should have been there.

I read the John Mayer interview that is getting all this hype. People are getting mad because he used the n word and talked about being addicted to having sex with Jessica Simpson. Who wouldn't with her though she is hot, even though I have hated on her in the past she still is ridiculous looking. I actually think the dude is funny and wish his cd's were as good as his interviews were. It is funny that a guy who can be so clever in interviews puts out some of the lame music he does. He can actually rip it on the guitar and it is not to say I don't like any of his songs because I do, but I think he is to worried about being that guy that is funny and interesting in interviews and he really pushes to hard to be that guy. If he put half as much effort into his music, with his talent and personality he could actually do something really good. He gets Grammy nods but that is because there is a real lack of good pop singer-songwriters in my opinion. He is funny and interesting, but just like lady gaga-why do you have to try so hard to be what you already are good at, just to get publicity. Well it works for both of them so why change it I guess. Here is the interview

Song of the week:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e82VE8UtW8A
It's Rihanna's newest song "rude boy." I used to hate on her and she is still annoying to me but ever since she got beat up by Chris Brown she is now making better music. I did like a few of her songs before she got beat up but now she seems more consistent. I don't think she is hot at all as far as her face and hair go. But she does have a crucial body. And in this video she doesn't hesitate to show it off. This is a definite rip off of M.I.A which I hate because I like M.I.A way better but the song is pretty good and the chorus is really good. It actually sounds more like a Beyonce chorus to me. Check it out now because it will probably be on the radio a ton for the next months or so. Maybe every girl artist should get their own Chris brown, that way when they start falling off putting out sucky music, the guy can beat them into shape. Man I would love to date Pink just for that reason.
Opening Ceremonies tonight- why the F is no one pumped, man what is the problem. I am pumped and I think I am the only one.

The new schedule
So I thought about what I said, not making this a personal blog really but trying to get out of it what I want, which is to put things out there that I find interesting. Things I see that are going on in the world, magazines articles, things on the web, things that I like, and somehow mix that with a little bit of me and what is going on in my head. So I have come up with a way to try and do that and the best way possible is to write for six days a week and give each of the days a topic and see how long I can stick to it. I do always have a lot of thoughts going on in my head and there is a part of me that would like to put it in letter form but most of me doesn't want to so I won't. Not to say I never will but I would rather not get really deep and just keep it simple you know? So here is the rundown I am hoping to keep to:
Day 1: T.V./ Movies
Day 2: Music/Song of the week
Day 3: Sports
Day 4: Cosmo/Glamour articles- gay I know but I love those magazines they are always interesting
Day 5: Askmen/ GQ- I will find something interesting like I do with cosmo and give my take on it
Day 6: Misc- whatever I feel like hitting up I guess, if something is really on my mind I feel I need to hit up then I will get to it on this day, or if it's just something I find interesting and it doesn't fall into the other topics well, I will hit it on this day.
Day 7: I rest
These are not hard and fast rules that I can only go by, because, well it's my blog so. I will try, but if something is really hitting me like I got to talk about it then I will just write a second blog on that day or just put it on day 7 and then rest. Alright so for day 1 which is starting today I got a clip from snl. It's on the weekend update. It's called Garth and Kat played by Fred Armisen and Kristen Wiig- who is sweet by the way. They are a singing duo who are singing songs for Christmas day album. Fred Armisen you can tell is improvising the songs and Kristen Wiig is doing her best to try and stay with him during the song. This link is the dress rehearsal but still funny. So check it out, it's pretty funny. They have another one on hulu that is from last week for valentine's but it didn't load for me but that was funny also. I tried this with my family- we were horrible but it is funny to try.

Ladies
Just here to tell you, I heard this on SNL weekend update and had to look it up.
Thongs are fading, they are not trendy anymore so cosmo magazine says give them up and find out which man melting undies you must own.
http://www.cosmopolitan.com/celebrity/fashion/thongs-0210
So to take the suspense out of it- it is boy shorts.
Both are hot what the F, so I don't really care.
I would care more about your stomach and if it may or may not be in that good of shape. So before you worry about what kind of underwear you are wearing, hit 200 crunches then try them on. If you still look chubby continue the cycle until you don't. Or don't do that and let your dude tell you how hot you look in your boyshorts cause they are the hottest thing in underwear now. He will be pleased I am sure, because he loves you for you. That is so nice to hear.
