Fish or Cut Bait

For all you lovers (& friends) out there, this article is for you:
(Ha. sometimes I love my obsession with music. I never knew that people would take the time to make music videos from The Sims of all places... hit that link above)

Now, straight from Yahoo!

"The study shows we are now in National Break-Up Season, the period between
the December holidays and Valentine's Day when people are more than twice as
likely to think about breaking up than at any other time of the year.

January, with all its focus on resolutions to be healthier, richer, and happier, naturally leads couples to take stock of their relationships and think about whether they are with the right person.

Find a new love' is up there with 'lose weight' and 'save more money' as a New Year's resolution," said Anna Zornosa, vice president and general manager, Yahoo Personals. "People tend to 'put up' with current relationships in order to have a partner for holiday gatherings, but once the festivities are over it's
time to decide whether to fish or cut bait."

So there you have it - fish or cut bait. My boss used to say that to me all the time. I thought it was just a bunch of crap like "synergies" or "low hanging fruit." But apparently it has a purpose.

What else is new today? I don't know. But I found a few quotes off my man Evan's site and I think they are worth posting here.



“The three hardest tasks in the world are neither physical feats nor intellectual achievements, but moral acts: to return love for hate, to include the excluded, and to say, "I was wrong." -Sydney J. Harris


Well said.

Finally... there isn't a lot of music being posted today. So I'm dedicating this one to my dad's brother Dan. To a real angel. It's okay, you'll be home soon. Tell Grandma I love her when you see her...

I'm not Dr. Khaled, but...

So, I'm not Dr. Khaled, - but here's my relationship advice:
Okay, playa. Regardless of who you are - you are in a vicious game.
Hate it or love it /Suck it or not - you're playing, so you might as well win.
...How do you do that?
Well in the words of Eminem, "Be smart, don't be a retard."
So don't be like me for the past year and you'll be fine...

Rule #1) It's all about control. Whether or not you want it/think it's important, it doesn't matter - it's all about control. Don't lose it. Or you will be miserable. You will be squashed like a puny bug while she laughs and complains that she doesn't have enough control. Don't give into the vicious fukkin cycle...

Rule #2) Your girlfriend is not a part of your family. Your family comes first. Your family will not/shouldn't abandon you. Don't make such assumptions with your soon-to-be-ex.

Rule #3) Don't let her bring her stuff into your house. It may seem like a few things, but before you know it she has all of her toiletries, favorite coffee mug, makeup and the whole wardrobe scattered across your apartment. You might as well make her a key and put a mint on the pillow. Because your apartment has become a Holiday Inn and you're paying the bill.

Rule #4) Find a girl that has friends that are girls. If she doesn't have any close girlfriends, politely ask her to leave and evaluate why she has been a total bitch all her life.

Rule #5) Listen to your close friends. If they're normally straight with you and they say this girl is whack -take that into consideration for a second. If your mom says she's no good for you and your mom likes everyone in the world -maybe this girl is crazy. Sometimes your bastard friends are really just trying to help.

Rule #6) Never forget that you have a dick. As long as you have a dick, you can fuck. Don't let your free-swanging wang get buried in the sand. I'm not telling you to cheat; I'm telling you to remind your girl that you could cheat at any second. That just might stop her from bitching for a second.

Rule #7) Keep some things secret. Your girl doesn't need to know everything. If you show her all of your cards, you will be easily beaten. Remember, this is a game of chess. You have to always be plotting your next move. It may sound slightly neurotic and terrible - but toughen up, you're in the jungle now and there's a sniper looking to take you out or at least cut you down enough to get a Coach bag outta you.

Rule #8) Figure out her game and win. Don't play games back with her, beat her at her own game. If she wants a reaction (and ohhh she does) don't give her one. Give her silence. Don't respond, don't even acknowledge it. That's how Jigga beat Cam. However, if she knows that you are purposely ignoring her -that's not the best either. Then you might want to just act natural. But, don't - do not - respond to her tactics. That'll give the power right back (Damn - that means I can't publish this post for all to see...)

Rule #9) Don't let future/potential hookups read this post. You may have trouble landing tail if they know you know their game. However, some girls are so naive that they believe that they can win no matter what. Baqqup gurlfrend! Even a stalemate with you is a win for me! HAha!

Rule #10) Make up your own rules, where applicable. Just don't repeat my same mistakes. Cuz as my father says,
"Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on me again."

So Chad Chamley is a sham


Check it out. I've never seen such aggression against someone I know. Almost makes me want to denounce our friendship...

Ha. Not so fast. I'm sure we've all done worse things than this. But what does this mean? It means don't fukk with the Wu-Tang Clan or angry Uber bloggers....

So, what else is new? I still can't decide if I should use this Blogger shit or Xanga. Xanga gives me music (which I'm all about) but looks like horse shit (which I'm surprisingly not about). So what am I listening to right now? Paris Hilton - Stars Are Blind. Umm. sorry. K - changed it to Beanie Sigel - Feel It In The Air. Prolly better if I stop talking about this...

Welcome to St. Paul

So, I made my first trip to Alary's in Downtown St. Paul this weekend. That place is crazy. It's gotta be a hidden gem in the metro area. It's like Hooters, but the girls wear a lot less - and no it's not a strip club. Plus, the girls seem more approachable, more attainable -like the girl next door - whether that is true or not... I don't know. I guess they only dress like that during sporting events - so go during the playoffs or a Wild game.

But, where does all the shit go down at? Nah, it aint Alarys. About 90% of the attractive females in that establishment work there. Take a trip down Grand Ave. to the Wild Onion. Now, I've been there before - but I didn't realize what I was missing. If I could transfer the mental images of last night to the blog - you'd be in for a treat. Maybe it was just because it was a Saturday night, but it was a place where the women flowed like liquor and the liquor flowed like, well, liquor. But it was sweet -trust me here.

Be careful where you go for the after party, though. You may end up running outta that place when the other roommates find out you're eating all their food and making a big commotion at 3:30 am...

WHAT I'M LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW:
Be careful, it's straight hood.
