A repost for the non-myspace crowds.

And then there’s surveys/questionnaires

It's been awhile since I've posted here.

For all the new traffic:
Hey.
How's life?
Hope you find the postings entertaining.

Everybody else:
My bad.

3 jobs + side-projects has pretty much taken all of energy.
That an' my car starting to breakdown last week.

So yea, survey/questionnaires.
Pretty sure you're familiar with them.
The ones that flood your bulletins everyday.
Help you to understand more about your fellow myspace friend.
At the least, it indicates that they have more freetime than you do.

I'm not here to criticize the people that do 'em.
More power to you.
They help offer a distraction from my work(s).
But I've noticed that there are some questions that irk me.
Such as...

Are you crazy?
If the person was crazy, they probably wouldn't know it.
What person in their right mind would admit they were anyways?

What are you wearing?
Why is that even important?
I for one like to fill out my surveys in the nude, does that benefit anyone with that knowledge?
No.

Can you lick your elbow?
It's a good question.
I was just bothered by the fact that I actually found myself tryin' to lick my elbow.

Would you ever shave your head to save someone's life?
This question isn't fair.
I already shave my head.
So if it came down to a situation where I would have to save someone's life by the act of shaving my head, there would be nothing I could do.
Why can't these life saving questions be more specific.
Would you take out a high interest loan?
Would you convert to scientology?
Do you know the muffin man?
Would you wear a meat suit, mink furcap, expose your crotch, become intoxicated onstage and purposefully tank the national anthem at a joint PETA, MADD, Women's rights, Christians for a peaceful tomorrow rally?

If you were on a deserted island and could bring only one thing, what would it be?
A very common question for surveys an' very unfair.
Because we don't know what kind of island it is
Most people'll bring a significant other with them.
...but it's a deserted island, probably with a severe lack of food.
Congratulations, you just doomed two people.
And most people assume it's a tropical island.
There are islands at both ends of our planet.
What if you got one of the arctic islands?
That question also assumes that you're preparing to end up on a deserted island?
If you find yourself on a deserted island, it's more or less an unplanned thing.
Like most celebrity pregnancies.
It's not like people go on flights bringin' the Man vs. Wild guy with them.

If anything, I'd bring a polaroid camera.
So I can take pictures of my penis to help identify myself to anybody that happens upon my remains.
-----------------------------------------

I just noticed I've got 300+ posts not including deleted ones here.
Wow.
What have I been doin' with my freetime?

It just came back to me!
Manpoints.
All the official rules an' everything explained in great detail.
At a later date.

Generally, you start off with a set value.
You can never earn points.
You can only keep or lose them.
Value freezes and/or is set to zero at time of marriage.
(In case of divorce and/or death, you can jump back at the value you were at)
Winner is the guy that has the most points leftover 'fore he commits.

Things I've noticed lately:
-Travel along the 101/coastline for work is equal to good times.
-I need to take more pictures.
-I want to pick up a polaroid camera.
-Need to use my season pass to SeaWorld more.
-I should probably focus more on voiceover work as far as acting goes.
-I'd love to be a travel show host.
-I need to get more karaoke runs in.
-I need to get more sushi runs in.
-I need to get back to practicing my musical instruments on a more regular basis.
-I die a lil' on the inside when my favorite bar is out of newcastle for the night.
-I should probably start up dating again soon.
-I'm spending my 26th bday at a job interview.
-Out of books to read.
-I should be sleeping.
-There are people afraid of penguins out there.
-I had opportunities to start dating again thrown at me the other day but was too tired to flirt properly.
-I should really be sleeping.
-I've never dated a natural blonde
-Or a girl of korean descent.
-Need to get a BBQ grill for the pad.
-Should probably upgrade my bed first.
-I've been writing alot of songs lately.
-Still need to find a spoken word outlet.
-Clazziquai Project
-Still have a major sweet tooth.
-I've got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one

Got a couple blog ideas in the editing stages at the moment.
-Story 'bout how I got the scar above my left eye. Fact an' Fiction versions.
-More from my personal song archives

Picked up a new hobby to deal w/ my recent bout of insomnia.
Browsing through online personal ads an' searching for contestants for the game "Have You Met My Friend Dave?"
Fun for the whole family?
Probably not, but at least it's entertainment for our group of friends.
Was toying with the idea of settin' up a personal ad for him.
Maybe even an official blog.
Yes?
No?

There was another idea that was blogworthy.
But I just lost it mid-yawn.
Attempting sleep again, wish me luck.

I'm breaking up the posts today because they're separate thoughts from different days.
Finally got around to keepin' a notebook with me at all times again.
Which may or may not lead to more content here.

Apparently, I'm getting burntout.
So much that my co-workers see it, an' I'm told by all my bosses to take some time off.

I might be inclined to believe them.
Took a powernap at around 6pm Monday an' woke up around 7am the following morning.
Maybe they're all on to something here.

3 jobs + auditions.
Why all the madness?
Because what I plan and what actually happens never seem to match up.
Dumb luck plus other factors, intentional or unforeseen, just have me playing severe catchup.
Hurrah for commission-only jobs.

Pretty sure the parents aren't happy with the way I'm approaching life at the moment.
Spent three hrs gettin' verbally berated by my mother over my career choices the other week.
Not quite making them proud of me yet.
"You should visit on the weekends so you can see your dad."
I imagine he has his own choice lectures lined up for me.

But enough with the de-stressing.
Let's end this post on a positive note.
Thanks to last week's heat, I've noticed I've gotten myself 14 prominent chest hairs.
To think, last year I only had 4.
I feel so manly now.
...should pick up some tights.

Courtesy of the fine people at www.personaldna.com you can now scroll yourself over the following bar an' see my tendencies at age 22.

Benevolent Leader

Fast forward to this week when I decided to try it out again.

Benevolent Director

I like how my masculinity drops after I'm out of a serious relationship.
It's fun seeing how 4 some-odd years and 34 seperate relationships can shape a guy.

Yes.
I did type out 34.
I'd break it down more but I already feel like a manwhore and that's not really the reason why you read this right?

You know it's a filler post when you find yourself copying & pasting various AIM conversations.
Enjoy!

CuTe lil bRAt167: HAHAHAHAHAHA

So yea, I find myself really liking this one woman...
I don't know her name.
Or anything about her for that matter.
I just see her.
Every night.
Constantly distracts me from what I'm doing.
Online.
Damn that smile.
Damn you girl from the University of Phoenix Ad.

...yea.
Definitely need to start doin' improv again.

So I'm either dealing with:
a) massive exhaustion
b) minor depression
-or-
c) hormones because I'm pregnant

Those wacky chemical imbalances...

If you haven't noticed, I'm out of things to write about.

..and random quotes.

Why do I agree to work shifts that start at 4:30am?

Ohhh You!

It's been a minute but it feels like a year
Since you turned away and left me here
Now here's a question I just have to ask
When can I see you again?

I'd like to think that I was past this phase
Where I freeze up when I'm near your face
It's real simple, you know it's true
I just wanna kiss you

I think about you and I smile all day
I'd like to think that you're the same way
My friend's make fun of me cuz they know the truth
I'd really like to kiss you

*musical interlude w/ scat*

Next time I see you can we just stop time?
Enjoy our custom built paradise
Just you and me, me and you
Gosh I wanna kiss you

K-I-S-S-I-N-G
Let's make this happen between you and me.
More than once
More than twice
Times infinity
Yea, that'd be nice
It's really simple, you know it's true
I just wanna kiss you

*whistle melody*
I just wanna kiss you

----------------------------------

Again, VERY rough cut.
Even the title of the song.
Need to play around with the verses more.
Maybe get some rearranging done.

This is pretty much the end result to having another melody stuck in my head an' being tired of not hearing any songs about the process of being in love anymore.
They all tend to focus on quick hook-ups an' broken relationships.
It's been alot of fun working with this song though.
Especially when I get to bring out the ukulele.
I think this can be one where I come out with custom verses each performance.

No stories at the moment.
So due to peer pressure an' guilt for lack of content, I present to you some of my personal writings.

Background:
Friend's completely infatuated with a guy.
Friend is moving across the country at the end of the month.
Guy is pretty much settled in socal.

Add a melody stuck in my head the past couple days, with an attempt at bittersweet and this is what you get.

Figurine

There he is, you see him walking from far far away
You find yourself unable to explain
What you feel inside

Bridge:
He went and stole your heart
From the very start
Left you with a pain that can't be recovered from
I want to be that figurine
(You've been praying everyday)

Chorus:
I want to be that figurine
That sits there by his bed
Can't say a word or expect a thing
But I can always be there for him

On passing occasions through the day
I'll get to see his smile
And I'll find myself content
Watching his peaceful sleep through the night

A month from now you'll find you left him far far away
You find yourself unable to soothe
Those falling tears

Bridge
Chorus x2

----------------------------------

Rough cut for now.
Trying to keep it basic.
Nice slower tempo.
Just need to get some work done on a keyboard 'fore I bring it all together.

Seems a bit stalkerish.
But alot of love songs're like that.
Maybe that's what true love is?
Borderline stalking and/or being able to ignore it.

"Confused man says: huh?" - Anonymous

Santa Ana winds have blown into town.
Ridiculously beautiful weather outside.
I get sent home from work.

Go figure, I'm sick.
Wasn't as bad last week when I was dealin' with a fever.
Just dealin' with throat boogers an' a semi-nagging cough.

Reason why I got sent home.
Even though my voice is a bit sexier, it's not ideal to sell when you might end up coughing on potential clients.

I figure I'll probably be posting up a few of my writings over the next couple of weeks.
Can't think of any other stories in my life that qualify as entertainment for the masses.

Oh! For those that missed it.
My cellphone's down at least 'til I get my next paycheck.
Issues with my service provider.
Hopefully logic'll prevail an' we won't have to wait that long.
For now, I'm gettin' a cheap payphone to conduct business with.

A semi-return to normalcy.

So I neglected to post something for the month of March.
My bad.

Just found myself suffering from writer's block an' running into distractions.
Hurrah for side-projects!

Plan was to introduce you to my new pad via picture blogging.
I'm puttin' that on hold because I feel that there is something that holds more precedence.

Human Tetris.

As seen in this clip:
http://www. youtube. com/v/84_QL1kEmH4

It's bein' brought stateside:
http://sandiego. craigslist. org/csd/tfr/635076980. html

You know you want to.

'Cuz I'm looking to put together a 3 man team.

Expect a return to somewhat normalcy by next week.
Egads!
Maybe an original piece or two.

Oooh!
Suspense!

Standard repost for the non-myspace crowds.

And then there’s me.

At the beginning of the month I noticed that I was getting alot of traffic on myspace.
Profile views we're averaging 30 a day.
Blog reads were getting ridiculous.
Alot of random messages from ladies I've never met before.
During one of the interactions I came across the reason why.

Apparently I had myself a craigslist posting.
Men seeking Women.
Had a more recent pic of me taken durin' a bar-hopping night.
Direct link to my myspace profile.
I'm guessin' it was well-written because most of the ladies I met weren't crazies.
It got taken down before I got to see it.

Basically, one of my friends posted a want ad for me without my knowledge.
And because I feel like my stories can give people that haven't met me yet the wrong impression...
Manwhore, manslut, and/or playa playa.
I'm just gonna introduce myself usin' one of those random surveys that float around the bulletins.
Creative.
I can be.

And that's me in a general nutshell.
As far as what I'm looking for, a pulse would be ideal.
In my adventures in dating, I've learned not to date out of boredom an' that I should be more selective.
4 crazies in a row an' a changed number kinda do that to a person.

I am bein' more picky but if you can cover these 4 main points, feel free to contact me.
- great smile
- sense of humor
- of legal age in the state of California
- genetically born a woman

I still believe that the dating process should be used to filter out any red-flags.
So far my red-flags are common sense things.
I'd list them, but this one's gettin' kinda lengthy an' I've noticed diminished attention spans in the general populace.

And in case you missed it, I am capable of dating multiple ladies at the same time.
I'm very upfront about it.
If you're comfortable with that fact, let's talk.
If not, just send me an add friend request on myspace.
-------------------------------------------

Peer pressure can be a bitch at times.
I noticed everyone else was trying out that wacky flu virus that was hitting all the states.
Mid-February I decided to try it out.

I should've went with competitive ferret herding.

Flu.
Career move.
New cellphone number.
Change in dating procedure(s).
Change in address at the end of the week.

Those are my excuse for laggin' on my postings.
Fear not masses!
I've posted another one.
Although it's not geared towards people I already know.

Should be back to standards next week.

Shout House.
Downtown SD.
March 15th.
Think about it.

"I'm just looking for someone to inspire more than a hard-on for me." - Anonymous

This should be the makings of a brand new original post.
But the cold I was dealin' with over the weekend turned out to be the flu.
Just in time for my first day of work at my brand new job tomorrow.

Good times.
So yea, this is just a filler.
At least until I get healthier.
Feel free to enjoy this clip of musical goodness.
I just haven't been able to get enough of it recently.

And then there’s a mini-date story.

Before I start, I just wanted to wish everyone Happy Chinese New Years/Valentine's Day/Singles Awareness Day/Happy Birthday!
'Cuz I'm not sure if I'm goin' to be gettin' around to an individual post centered specifically on any of those subjects.

Mini-date.
I define it as a quick gathering between two potential dating prospects that lasts for no more than an hour.
Nothing significant, it's more of an interview an' decidin' on wether or not there's any physical attraction.
Point is, I had one today.
Er, yesterday.
Late Saturday afternoon 'fore a karaoke run.

This is the second dating prospect sent my way via one of my Starbucks friends.
Real talk, a Starbucks friend I wouldn't mind gettin' to know on a more regular basis.
That's right, I said it.
And now I've typed it.
I know you enjoy reading these.
Her friends're as fun as she is personality-wise so I guess that counts for some consolation.
Like her first friend, she arranges a meeting between us at her workplace.
In case you haven't guessed yet, it's a Starbucks.

I love the way they prepare my hot chocolate for me.
Which is what I ordered.
Turns out I arrived a lil' early an' her friend was runnin' late.

For now I'm gonna let you have a lil' fun an' try to guess her friend's name.
Since I tend to leave 'em anonymous out of respect for their privacy.
Starts with a "P"
Ends with "atricia"

Why did I just bother to do that?
'Cuz I like that joke an' she doesn't mind this bein' somewhat public knowledge.
Apparently she enjoys my stories also.
Which I steadily keep digressing from.

With wonderful Starbucks hot chocolate in hand, I take a seat outside.
Put on my bluetooth stereo headset an' jam to music contained on my Helio Ocean.
Situated nicely, I take out a pack of Benson & Hedges menthols an' light one with my mini-navy blue BIC lighter.
(Heavy product placement because I'm all hyped up about Superbowl commercials)

Sometime later on, a lady walks into my line of vision.
If I read her lips correctly, she just told me: "I'd like to give you a blowjob."
Bein' the smooth guy that I am, I find myself in mid-sip coughing and spilling hot chocolate onto my shirt.
It probably burned me a little at the time, but I didn't notice because I was still tryin' to process what just happened.

I take my headphones off.
I raise an eyebrow.
My left one because it's scarred an' sexy.
She makes the motion of a blowjob.
"Yea... I heard that right."

One helluva way to introduce yourself.
At this juncture of the story, I do need to point out that I didn't take her up on her offer.
Because EVERY person I've told this story to so far asked me that when I got to this point of the story.
Veeeerrrrrrrry tempting though.
If only I had a different moral set...

So yea, she said it with a smile.
Granted, it was a very seductive an' devious smile.
A really great smile.
She also laughed at my response.
So I'm under the assumption that she was joking.
'Cuz I don't think I'll ever be used to women THAT forward with me.

After that fun lil' introduction we got to know each other a lil' better.
Mostly through dating stories.
Which is kinda like how my first job interview went last week.
Dating stories.
After hearing hers, she seems like a very fun woman.
At the very least, the makings of a great friend.
Maybe my volunteer for speed dating.
Or a friend with benefits.
'Cuz if memory serves me correctly, that's what she was hinting at for 40 some-odd minutes.

Damn my morals.
I think at this rate I'm gonna eventually get to the point where I say "Fuck it!" and well... fuck "it."
At least that way some of you can live more vicariously through my exploits.

Who knows?
Such a fun question.

*sigh*
So many fun stories compiled over the last few days.
I'm savin' the next rd. until next week.
You just got two in one sitting.
Stop bein' greedy.

Application Form to Date My Daughter

That of course assumes I have a daughter and/or get married an' pro-create.
I don't have offspring, yet I already feel bad for them.
'Specially when they get to their teens.
The following is a rough cut of an application form I intend to have potential boyfriends fill out while they're waiting for my daughter to get ready.
If I can't get a son named Guy, I figure this'll make for a nice compromise.

------------------------------------------------

Thank you for your time.
Please drop off your application along with your blood, urine, and semen sample at [home address] during the hours of 3pm-6pm.
After analysis and a tribal council, we will get back to you within the next couple days and let you know.
Good luck.
------------------------------------------------

Again, rough cut.
Best I could come up with after 10mins. of brainstorming.
Ideally the final draft will have 50 questions.
Possibly 50 pages.
We'll see.
Any ideas, suggestions, criticisms are greatly appreciated.

And now to address a few questions the first proofreaders had.
- I like random.
- Been a Lakers an' Chargers Fan since birth.
- Bill Walton's an inside joke between myself an' my best friend. Personally, I'm not a fan of his.
- I figure if the kids willing to fill this form out, he's two steps closer to bein' a son-in-law. Ideally my daughter would have a better sense of who the crazies are then her father did.
