Piano for Trekkies

I’ve decided to take up piano!  It’s a little random but I think I could still do well if I practice for a few hours a week.  I’ve never been that musical though, so it probably seems a little impulsive (which it is).  But what’s wrong with that!  Every other kid I know is musically [...]

When Pick Up Goes Wrong

So far, I’ve been saying that pick up technique allows people to structure their approach to not be so nervous, to just focus.  However, there is such a thing as incorrect technique; pick up isn’t for those who don’t understand the balance between human relations and gender relations.  There is a line that PU can [...]

Attraction to the Game of PUA

Upon writing my last post, I started realizing there’s a lot to be said about Neil Strauss and his book, The Game, which I DID finish reading.  Apparently, he’s written/co-written a few other books and is a writer for the New York Times.  I respect the man as a journalist.  His conversational tone made the [...]

A Return to Pick Up Artists

In a return to examining pick-up artistry, I promised I would analyze those used by and explained by commenters like Steve Johnson and Agnostic on this blog.  All the terms I use were based on Neil Strauss’ The Game, a guidebook and…investigative report…about his times as a PUA.
I was told that I wouldn’t be able [...]

I’ve Got My Eye On You!

I haven’t written anything over the past week. Call me lazy or lively or…not
So you can imagine my surprise when I found an avid reader of this blog from this very region! Within the past two days! Who are you?
According the the records as of this post (as far as I could [...]

The Difference Between Conspiracies and Opinions

You’d expect to hear controversial topics in uni; it’s probably one of the earliest times people get to really indulge in and expand their worldview.  Every now and then, though, someone says something that makes you seriously consider if controversy is just a cover for some very ill-placed comments.
One older lady was discussing the 9/11 [...]

Connections

Almost everyone I know instant messages.  In high school, the IM community really took off — it was the newest thing for everyone to keep talking.  These people and the students I go to university with now mostly have accounts on AIM (America Online Messaging).
But staying in contact with people outside of school usually requires [...]

Falling Grace and Food

As a student, I eat out a lot more than I’ve had to before.  Being Asian, that pretty much means eating out used to be a rare and puzzling event, much like going to the beach in the middle of the winter.  I knew other people did it, but me?  Eat food prepared by people [...]

Your Face is Fine

Dear Roissy,
Google was helpful in finally taking the veil off your mysterious appearance, specifically BigHead DC.  Generally, I’m skeptical of any self-proclaimed “gossip site” but this is a photo you’d posted before — with your face cropped out.  I’d say you’re not bad looking so there was no need to hide yourself away.  The only [...]

Squishing Small Children

I ride the university shuttle on most days but today I saw something a little strange.  A woman with three small children climbed on board.  This in itself is abnormal since most people using the shuttle are students or hospital employees, going to and from school and work.  Two of the children were maybe 2 [...]

The Practical Facebook User

Facebook is maligned by almost everyone who opens their mouth to say something about it.  In some ways, I’d have to agree with them: it’s closed a lot of human contact that used to create our social relations.  But in some ways, I can’t quite be as intense as others in the denouncement of Facebook.  [...]

You Can’t be Mean if You’re Green

My Own Demotivator

I love demotivators! I made my own downer parody of the popular Motivation posters:

You can make your own at Despair.com

Tommy V2 Facebook Page

No doubt there are at least a few fans of Tommy V2 reading this blog. He definitely railed against facebook in one of his articles, “Facebook is the End of Humanity“. But Facebook is just too addictive not to be a part of, no matter how much we all realize it to be [...]

You Make Me Ill…

I love my computer.  This is a known fact to most people who have seen my already hugemongous backpack during the school year; I can’t help packing an extra 6 pounds of laptop and 3 pounds of power adapter in there!  It’s to the point where I consider it weight lifting.
Well, ot is probably more [...]
