speaking of seafood....i still dont' get the whole "i don't eat meat but i'll eat fish" deal with the weird people...
-
I dunno about fried seafood....so theres fried everything everywhere, I always liked my seafood on the fresher light side or it defeats the purpose of seafood for me...if I wanted fried junk, if go with fried chicken, hash brown, okra or fried everything else that's readily available....I like seafood in other ways.

Some of the World's Greatest AIDS researchers....Gone
Y_B commented on W_L's blog entry in Life is worth an entry
I don't think of it that way. What if this paved the way for some underdog researcher who was underfunded to come thru and actually find the cure whereas he wouldn't have if this didn't happen? sequence of events is pretty uncertain in life in any and all kinds of situations daaaaillllyyy. juss sayin -
Not surprising and it probably won't get better. You're talking about a group of adolescent boys who are at the height of their egos. High school major sports athletes aren't coincidentally some of the cockiest and potentially mean spirited people you will encounter because at that age, they have no sense of real humanity or social responsibility but rather just inflated senses of self-importance based strictly on the fact that they are young, hot, talented and have their whole lives ahead of them. One of the most intimate ways teenage boys bond is by sharing a love of girls or girl-chasing. Not much else will seal the deal better for good camaraderie than a shared love for the sport they play and girls they like. Sometimes the sport itself will be significant enough where nothing else really matters but more often than not, this won't be the case, at least not when you're talking about a team of 17-18 year olds. I don't see how many people at that life stage can really accept an openly gay person into their inner circle when so much is enabling them to think they don't need to. The verbal/physical abuse is kinda sad though.

Comcast To Build 1,121 Foot Tower in Phildelphia

Anyone realize how old Manhattan is? It's glorified through the media and impressionable minds but in reality it's so damn old. The rail system, the streets and 90% of the buildings are really really frigging old and out-dated. I can't think of anything more 3rd world than NYC subways. -
welcome to suckhood...or adulthood or whatever you call it....nah it's not so bad, you feel more worldly being out of school...you'll probably change more in the next 2 years than you did the last 4-8...just saying... some unsolicited advice - 1) don't blow your money 2) don't blow your money..seriously 3) don't blow anyone other than cammy (you are LIVING together) 4) don't blow your job and job hop like a bunny on crack 5) don't blow your boss (see advice #3) 6) don't blow off old friends...the kinda friends you met when young are harder to come by now 7) don't blow your free time and let whatever job you get swallow you up 8) don't blow ur mind thinking you lost out on NYC or San Diego...they ain't all dat foooo 9) don't blow off your health...i see a lotta ppl get fat after school 10) don't blow off your parents...you'll start appreciating them again soon enough.

If You're Only 20-Something, Stop Bitching About Being Old
Y_B replied to methodwriter85's topic in The Lounge
Yeah, I getcha Remember about 2 years ago this well-off couple got some media attention when the husband made this melodramatic internet rant about their sub-satisfactory $300K household income? The reactions were, as you can guess, overwhelmingly negative and largely eye-rolling. I suppose in the couple's own world, they can justifiably feel impoverished given their living standards and expectations obviously exceed what $300K could bring them, why didn't anybody empathize? Should they have? I think perspective is what's being driven here. I think the circumstantial spectrum of fitness is pretty similar...the many conventionally "fit" dudes or skinny girls complaining of feeling fat when the bulk of the population are disgustingly out of shape creates similar societal sentiments. Again perspective and personal expectations. I don't know...there's nothing really "wrong" with thinking 1 way or another, but I think with better perspectives, people can just be happier..and that's ultimately the goal -

If You're Only 20-Something, Stop Bitching About Being Old
Y_B replied to methodwriter85's topic in The Lounge
meh...musta skipped me...I pretty much know I'm a baby I find that I like getting with guys in their late 20s pushing 30, so it's always made me feel pretty young in comparison...sometime in the last year or so i lost my interest in people younger...idk, something about the stuff college kids talk about nowadays just makes me just go and everytime I see someone sporting another fraternity t-shirt I just wanna barf. I still get that hardon for the occasional 18-19 year old but yeah, I've pretty much moved on quite seamlessly...the other contributing factor is that I work in an industry where tenure is everything, so I get stepped on all the time for being a newb, even if I am da man at what I do. There is just something depressingly wrong with putting the early 20s on a pedestal....at least for me, cuz I dunno about most ppl but my life's getting better and better, it didn't plateau from school...oh and I'm one of those people who will definitely look my best in my 30s -

On the contrary, you started a discussion about something in which you thought you would get unanimous likes on a gay website where you thought everybody thinks the same as you and you can all gather around to sing the omgs and oh-la-las, but it didn't turn out that way. You found it difficult to accept that somebody on here possessed a totally different point of view than you and presented it in a passionate manner. You somehow also seem to think that because you started the post, you have an inherent right to steer the conversation (even if you were not part of it) in the direction you'd like and tried to puff out your non-existent cyber chest by threatening to report me if I didn't kneel at your mercy. Not to mention when you tried to accuse me of attempting character assault on Crazyfish, you forgot that you had already ignored the fact that Crazyfish's 1st response to my 1st post already included some pretty obvious mockery towards me. But of course that's irrelevant to you because you're not exactly the "on-topic police" that you are trying to play here as long as any "inappropriate" behavior is coming from someone on your side aiming towards someone who is not, right? So on the contrary, this conversation never derailed. You just couldn't find the "dislike" button and wanted to cry about it. So I repeat again, not sure why you thought you had relevant input between exchanges I was having with someone else because your pointless interruption was...well...pointless AND disruptive AND the very thing that ACTUALLY "derails" this conversation. All I did was call out on the video you posted and the reactions it received as I found the content of both to be supremely stupid. If you don't like having to see that someone disagreed with you in "your" discussion thread, then write a blog. I can assure you I'd have no interest following you there.

The need to come out can be satisfied by coming out to your family and friends. The need to thank those who made it possible can be satisfied by thanking said people in-person. The decision to use your celebrated status to elevate your platform so your coming out can extend its reach to millions of your fans, knowing full well that in our PC and liberal-washed social media you will be showered with media compliments, thumb-ups clicks and supporting tweets, is an extravagant level of merit-less self-indulgence. Which is pretty innocuous, if not just slightly annoying except for the fact that there are thousands, if not tens of thousands of closeted folks out there who see it and know they are utterly and helplessly incapable of ever getting similar treatment from those who know them.

You were no longer talking about Ellen Page, your statement that I quoted was your general insight into the potential extraordinary ripple effects that can be caused by insignificant little things and that you find my lack of recognition for it disappointing. The reason I said what I said was because I find most insignificant things to be insignificant and you presenting this fortune cookie script about "little things" makes me hesitant to believe you had much more to offer. And since we were talking about Ellen Page's coming out and that I had made it clear I find no value in her or her coming out, I obviously think you going extensively thru how you believe a person's coming out is incredibly courageous and inspirational is you making something out of nothing and celebrating mediocrity.
-
Not sure what made you think I derailed the convo. Also, not sure what made you think you had relevant input between my and crayfishes exchanges Also, not sure what made you think you threatening to report me (again) is interesting to me Getting back to the original post - no, I don't find a by-product of Hollywood coming out is courageous, inspiring or triumphant. It also sends a pretty terrible msg to those who are not able to come out due to life inconveniences. There are far better things people do that do move humanity forward. Ellen Page is not one of those things

One would think a senior scientist would resort to more than celebrating mediocrity and throwing around uninteresting platitude. And you clearly did not read my 1st post
-
I accidentally 'liked' your post and don't see a way to undo it. I find it incredibly unsettling you'd discount the discovery of a medical breakthrough of that magnitude by suggesting 'coming out' can be a bigger triumph. I guess Ellen Page deserves a fucking Nobel Peace Prize.

People are tolerant, that's very different from accepting. Celebrities' grand come-out shenanigans aren't gonna make society more accepting. Everybody already knows gays are everywhere, no one is going to be in shock or in genuine positive disbelief by a celebrities public coming out. If anything it's just housewives gossip for a few days. I wish these people would stop making it seem like they are curing cancer because like I said, this is apparently the new form of high society heroism. All you need to do is come out publicly and you've somehow done the community a great service. Shit, MLK shoulda just said "I am Black."...cool bro...and???? what's legit exciting and what IS going to change the world is to see everyday folks living their lives who are gay and still live happy lives with integrity and good character. No banner of homosexuality flying over the house everytime they step out, no youtube come-ing out. But people who are secure and esteemed enough to live happily as they are without feeling he need of a Hollywood star to pave the way for them and who can build long term community trust and respect. You want a role model? Find one of them. YouTube 20millon viewed come out sensations? Gimme a break.
