I am 1

My inner child is one year old today

My inner child is one year old!


Everything is new to me. I like watching the world
go by around me, and I don't sweat the small
stuff--or the large stuff, either. Just so long
as I stay warm and safe and dry, life's pretty
good.

Dan Savage on men and porn

The Onion A.V. Club | Savage Love

A few months ago, my fiancee found some of my porn videos and threw them out, telling me how much they upset her. We've been dating for six years, and as of two years ago, I have been officially banned from going to the strip club with my friends. I should also mention that whenever an attractive woman walks by, I have to look at the floor for fear that a stray glance will enrage my fiancee.

Her take is that looking at other women borders on cheating. She cried and cried this evening, sobbing that she doesn't understand why I need to so much as look at other women, saying it makes her feel like I'm not satisfied with her. I feel that pornography isn't cheating; if anything, it probably prevents a lot of men from cheating. By the way, my fiancee is a beautiful girl with a great body, so I can't understand how low self-esteem is such a factor. Any suggestions?
Porn Controversy

First, a little insensitivity: You would have to be an idiot to marry this insecure, inconsiderate bag of slop. She throws your stuff away? You can't look at a pretty woman on the street? That's the sort of crap you squelch before you marry someone, PC, unless you're really looking forward to that first divorce. If you love her and want to marry her, do her the favor of leveling with her: Of course you're not satisfied with just one sex partner. No man ever is! Men aren't wired for monogamy. Period. It's one thing for a woman to ask her man to make that commitment and be faithful; it's quite another for that woman to ask him to pretend that he's not even remotely interested in having sex with other people-to pretend, essentially, that he isn't a man. The true measure of a man's love isn't that he doesn't desire others, PC, but that he doesn't act on his desire for others. If your fiancee can't see that, well, then she has no understanding of men's sexuality and, consequently, no business being in a relationship with a man.

Once more, for emphasis: I wouldn't marry this woman if I were you. If you must marry her-if you love her and stuff-then you'll have to do what millions of other men in your shoes do: Tell the wife what she wants to hear, hide the porn, and pray you don't get caught.

And now for a little compassion from Loftus: "Pornography shocks a lot of young women because they don't understand the role it plays in many men's lives. Tell your girlfriend that you aren't comparing her to the women in porn-you aren't, are you? - so it's not an expression of dissatisfaction with her. It's just another way of expressing your sexuality. But if your girlfriend's mind is made up about this, if she isn't willing to listen to you, then maybe you should think about whether this relationship is worth the constraints she insists on putting you under." Which is Loftus' compassionate way of saying you would have to be an idiot to marry this insecure, inconsiderate bag of slop.

Craig's List Casual Encounters - Fact or Fiction

I came into this experiment thinking I'd found a shortcut to sexual Valhalla. Although it didn't turn out that way for me, it could for some. Ultimately, like anything else, Casual Encounters is just a numbers game. Technology marches on, but the cock tease will never be obsolete.

Using both hands and touch typing...

Tonight is the first time since I crashed that I am typing with both hands.

I just got back from the Dr. The xray-ed my arm and the Ti looks good. I have a few bone fragrament in wierd places that may be removed later if they are a problem. The chip they are most worried about is really close to my wrist. The skin on my arm is pretty beat. I didn't take pictures, mostly because it was pretty gross. My elbo is mostly fine, but my wrist and first nuckle on each hand are super stiff and have like 10 degrees of mobility each. Even that is pretty painfull.

I have a set of exercises that I'm supposed to do 3 sets a day, 15 reps a set. One is to restore complete mobility to my elbo, one is to restore rotary motion to my wrist, one is to restore mobility to my wrist and the final is to make a fist and then relax it.

Similar to my leg my arm is thowing internal stitches (I have threads hanging out of the scars on my arm).

I've been too afraid to ask how long before I'm healed. So I don't know for sure.

Tomorrow morning will be the first time I've been able to take a shower with out a bag on my arm.

I have to "shout" out to Christine who has been doing Ken and Amanda's role and making sure I get fed at least once a day. That and just hanging out and helping with stuff, stuff that a one handed man can't do by himself.

Honesty and Denial

The Exponent - letters

Its nice to see that people on campus are expressing themselves freely, and who knows, maybe some of these people genuinely believe that clothing intended for the other sex is just straight up more comfortable. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is, not that you guys out there who dress up like women should stop, just that you should try not to look so damn sexy, so that I don't check you out anymore.

No hard feelings, apparently: "I may have lost a husband but I've gained a father," says Alison today.

Asexual people as a group

Nerve.com - The Story of No by Eli Kintisch

"He said he loved me. I believe he really truly did. He was everything I would ever imagine in Mister Perfect, and still I didn't feel a thing. And I left him, broke his heart and mine. It hurt me badly hurting him. And I never explained to him why I went away. I didn't know myself . . . I DON'T NEED A GUY TO BE HAPPY. I AM HAPPY BY MYSELF. I DON'T HAVE TO BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. I just wish others could understand. "

Personally I can't directly relate to asexuals. However it is an interesting issue. Is it a lack of horomones? Is it normal? Is it a defect? Is it a beter way to live? I think I would be much more productive if I could stop thinking about sex.

Power failure document

Slashdot | US/Canada Power Outage Task Force Event Timeline

"The U.S./Canada Power Outage Task Force issued the Aug. 14, 2003 Sequence of Events at noon today. While no conclusions are drawn at this point, it does paint a pretty good picture of what happened and when it happened."

This is an interesting study in self healing network colapse. The ineresting thing about the power rating is that the system has opereating conditions both minimum and maximum that must be met for any component to be online. When these conditions aren't met the component (transmission lines, generators, powerlines, capacitors, transformers) remove them selves from the network. In this case, it appears that the system was running at 90% and had a 11% failure (yes, this is a simplification). This led to a colapse of the network.

It was funny, I was tired of the last splint and it didn't feel like it was doing anything. When it came off it became clear that it was doing more then I thought. My wrist was sore and only slightly mobile and my arm in general felt exposed and put upon. It didn't want to support its own weight.

And, yes, this was again typed one handed...

I just took the short Myers-Briggs

Test here: here


Portrait of an ENTP

As an ENTP, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you take things in primarily via your intuition. Your secondary mode is internal, where you deal with things rationally and logically.

With Extraverted Intuition dominating their personality, the ENTP's primary interest in life is understanding the world that they live in. They are constantly absorbing ideas and images about the situations they are presented in their lives. Using their intuition to process this information, they are usually extremely quick and accurate in their ability to size up a situation. With the exception of their ENFP cousin, the ENTP has a deeper understanding of their environment than any of the other types.
