a shout out to all those poor men who share their lives with women

got this from a friend and thought it was worth a post...

Please note.. these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Men are NOT mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1 Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Empathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria 's Secret girls, don't Expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one

1. You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really .

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or golf.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape and Round is a shape

1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

temporary return to life

a friend of mine(u know who u are) recently reminded me of this blog so im back to update.had the normal life of a JC student,namely sleeping, slacking and copying homework...i really am quite a lazy person...
the block tests were earlier last month and i finished it with minor psychological damage. grades were typical: U,S,S and E...i managed to collect the whole of the bottom of the grade spectrum.
i attended a wake some time ago for a friends sister. the event let me realize that one of the most binding forces between human beings is death. you can barely know somewhere and have never met his sister but somehow, u can feel the grief and sadness of her passing.it rained that day and i sometimes think that even the sky was grieving,not just for her,but for all that have passed on,and that each rain drop that fell from the sky is in memory of wach individual life that has left this earth since time immortal.
my brain also somehow made a link between several disparate thoughts leading me to a question: Why are we studying so hard?our time on this earth is limited with a very short limit at that. we are barely more that an imprint on the surface of the earth which weathers away in time. whats more, when don't know when that hourglass will run out and we leave this earth. yet we plan for the future,saying after this-and-that i'll do something-or-other when in fact we don't know whether there will be a tomorrow for us,much less a year. and if we left this earth now,what have we to show for our time spent?studies?grades?what dreams have we accomplished?what bonds have we formed?what can we do that we call look back with satisfaction?i know that i won't say studies to the latter.
i suppose that im thinking too much,too much morbid stuff specifically...but the thought remains:if u die tomorrow,can u look back on today and be happy with how you spent your time?

tests all crashed...so whats new??

I'm starting to realize a trend here...it seems like i only update every month...oh well.As the post title implies, i crashed my chem,maths and econ test that were held in the previous weeks.

however,of greater interest is the fact that my new electric guitar is GREAT!!!now i just wish i had the time to practice and maybe find some practice material like scales...after all, there are only so many times you can practice chord changes.i also discovered a new song today that is my current favorite,got it from crystal who was practicing it. its Avril Lavigne's Keep Holding On which is featured in the movie version of Eragon which, by the way, sucks. also managed to play it on my new electric guitar.but one thing i discovered is that i desperately need an effects and distortion pedal...anyway,heres the song lyrics:

Artist: Avril Lavigne Lyrics
Song: Keep Holding On Lyrics

You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side
You know I'll take your hand
When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There's no place to go you know I won't give in
No I won't give in.

Chorus :

Keep holding on
'Cause you know we make it trough, we make it trough
Just stay strong
Cause you know I'm here for you
There's nothing you can say, nothing you can do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
Cause you know we'll make it trough, we'll make it trough.

So far away I wish you were here
Before it's too late this could all disapear
Before the doors close, this comes to an end
But with you by my side I will fight and defend I'll fight and defend yeah yeah.

Chorus

Hear me when I say, when I say
I believe nothings gonna change, nothings gonna change destiny
What ever is ment to be
Will work out perfectly yeah yeah yeah yeah
Lalalalalalala...

Chorus
