Manly?

Ok so a friend, has a daughter who was having a fund raiser selling, you know stuff. I wanted to help a little girl out and I bought a couple of pails of cookie dough. Im not one to bake but I didn't want to buy any of the Christmas stuff that she was selling. The dough says it will last up to 3 months refrigerated.

Well today I made some of those cookies. They're good.

I went to see my friend and she asked me if I had anything good to eat? Well being a guy, something imediatly came to my mind that she could eat. I know Im a perv. I don't deny it. I kept it to myself though.

I told her all I had at my place were some cookies I had made. She began to laugh. Ok what's the joke?
She said you baked cookies?
Yeah, why.
You're a guy.

I didn't catch any feelings. I have said way worse and mean things to her. She says I have a problem with being to blunt and honest sometimes. Huh, maybe?

After a few minutes I asked her if me taking some cookies to a Super Bowl party was a bad idea? She said no, so I says well if you laughed at me for making cookies what are 10 other guys going to say? She told me that I could say she made the cookies.
Sometimes I think I love this girl? Im such a dope. ha ha
Well my point is, is it manly to take cookies to a Super Bowl party? Ok I know beer and cookies don't go together, but I'm sure everyone is going to munch on stuff before the game starts?

Cant sleep once again

Now that I am not working regularly I have a backward sleep schedule. Weird?
I often end up watching TV or suffing on the net, although an unlimited amount of content available on the net I can never think of anything worth searching for. OK first thing popping into some minds is porn, well once you've looked at porn for five minutes it all becomes the same thing. Nothing special. News worthy events not to many. I watch a ton of youtube stuff. Now there is some hilarious stuff at this site and some completly worth less stuff like the atheist who puts all his videos on there, like the flying spaghetti monster.
Then there is the GOD Inc. series which is pretty funny.

I was looking at a website a friend of mine had mentioned to me. I looked at it and found this. This stuck out because it so reminded me of my friend and I. It made me laugh.

TRIBUTE TO ALL THE NICE GUYS....& the crazy bitches you deal with! - 25

This is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point.

For the record: I AM NOT LOOKING!! So please don't send me a zillion emails! I just hate the way women take advantage of you guys....so here is to you:-)


This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores. This is in honor of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honor of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern. This is in honor of the guys who respect a girl’s every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style.


This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they’re at her door, for the guys who accompany girls to bars as buffers against the rest of the creepy male population, for the guys who know a girl is fishing for compliments but give them out anyway, for the guys who always play by the rules in a game where the rules favor cheaters, for the guys who are accredited as boyfriend material but somehow don’t end up being boyfriends, for all the nice guys who are overlooked, underestimated, and unappreciated, for all the nice guys who are manipulated, misled, and unjustly abandoned, this is for you.


This is for that time she left 40 urgent messages on your cell phone, and when you called her back, she spent three hours painstakingly dissecting two sentences her boyfriend said to her over dinner. And even though you thought her boyfriend was a chump and a jerk, you assured her that it was all ok and she shouldn’t worry about it. This is for that time she interrupted the best killing spree you’d ever orchestrated in GTA3 to rant about a rumor that romantically linked her and the guy she thinks is the most repulsive person in the world. And even though you thought it was immature and you had nothing against the guy, you paused the game for two hours and helped her concoct a counter-rumor to spread around the floor. This is also for that time she didn’t have a date, so after numerous vows that there was nothing “serious” between the two of you, she dragged you to a party where you knew nobody, the beer was awful, and she flirted shamelessly with you, justifying each fit of reckless teasing by announcing to everyone: “oh, but we’re just friends!” And even though you were invited purely as a symbolic warm body for her ego, you went anyways. Because you’re nice like that.


The nice guys don’t often get credit where credit is due. And perhaps more disturbing, the nice guys don’t seem to get laid as often as they should. And I wish I could logically explain this trend, but I can’t. From what I have observed on campus and what I have learned from talking to friends at other schools and in the workplace, the only conclusion I can form is that many girls are just illogical, manipulative bitches. Many of them claim they just want to date a nice guy, but when presented with such a specimen, they say irrational, confusing things such as “oh, he’s too nice to date” or “he would be a good boyfriend but he’s not for me” or “he already puts up with so much from me, I couldn’t possibly ask him out!” or the most frustrating of all: “no, it would ruin our friendship.” Yet, they continue to lament the lack of datable men in the world, and they expect their too-nice-to-date male friends to sympathize and apologize for the men that are jerks. Sorry, guys, girls like that are beyond my ability to fathom. I can’t figure out why the connection breaks down between what they say (I want a nice guy!) and what they do (I’m going to sleep with this complete ass now!). But one thing I can do, is say that the nice-guy-finishes-last phenomenon doesn’t last forever. There are definitely many girls who grow out of that train of thought and realize they should be dating the nice guys, not taking them for granted. The tricky part is finding those girls, and even trickier, finding the ones that are single.


So, until those girls are found, I propose a toast to all the nice guys. You know who you are, and I know you’re sick of hearing yourself described as ubiquitously nice. But the truth of the matter is, the world needs your patience in the department store, your holding open of doors, your party escorting services, your propensity to be a sucker for a pretty smile. For all the crazy, inane, absurd things you tolerate, for all the situations where you are the faceless, nameless hero, my accolades, my acknowledgement, and my gratitude go out to you. You do have credibility in this society, and your well deserved vindication is coming.

Everybodys doing it?

Everyone has a blog? I've been signed up on here for sometime. I named it Skubalon. I heard this word used in a sermon. It's a Greek swear word. Hey if J.T. can bring sexy back than I can bring a Greek swear word back.. Aw ight.
Just in case you can't tell I'm bored. I am between jobs right now. It would be cool if it were summer time, then I could go do a little golfing. Um I guess I could go ice fishing, but that requires getting cold. My apartment is super clean right now. I bring in dirt from outside and throw it around inside just so I have something to clean. NO this doesn't mean I am going to show up and clean your home! I have cable so I watch a ton of sports stuff. All the ESPN channels, NFL Network and Grey's Anatomy. I love that show, should a grown man admit to loving a show. Maybe I need to pick up some kind of addiction? I'll have to do some research on the Internet on time wasting addictions.
