There are some who keep telling me i don't talk to them because i don't like them, but when i do try to talk how come they don't respond? Then why in the first place do they tell me that 'I' didn't talk to them? Morons!

I'm just reflecting on my day and wondering how others define a good moment or if they just weigh their day as good or bad.

I was reading Frank Zappa's book. then came up with this and don't know what it means,I'll cite the whole paragraph:
"The family was from Arkansas. The Dad (Dink) was a furniture salesman in San Bernardino,
but, back in the way-back-when, he used to play 'bones' or 'spoons' in a minstrel show. To relive the
golden days of yesteryear he would, from time to time, force his children to accompany him (Ronnie
on guitar, Kenny on trombone) in a living room replay of a minstrel routine called "Lazy Bones."
The kids often found this to be an inconvenience, as they were fascinated by, and constantly
perfecting new techniques for, The Manly Art Of Fart-Burning."

Are American women so arrogant as to think that every man will find tatoos attractive? Surely a woman must understand that it is more likely that a tatoo will reduce the number of men interested in her.

Personally, speaking for myself, when I put a girl on my bed on her hands and knees I don't want to see some grafetti that some freak put there before I came along.

Someone once said to me "there is no such thing as an accident". I've pondered on this for several years and have finally concluded that they might be right.
Can anyone give me an example of something that is purely accidental and could, in no way, have been avoided?

You were walking through a forest, and you stubbed your toe on somthing in the bushes. You bend down and pick it up, you see that it is a lamp. Curious to see the writing covered by dust you rub it. All of a sudden a genie apears. He says that he will grant you one wish, he also says that you may not wish for more wishes and that you may not say 'and'. What do you wish for and why?

I truely do not understand people being raciest. Flowers have different colors, fish are different shapes and colors, people are different colors . . . what is the difference ?

In relation to people. . . skin color does not reflect if a person is mean or nice, honest or thief, smart or 'dumb', dear heart or cruel heart.

I'm a 'pasty white' gal, mature mind . . . and I never have and still don't understand why a person is liked or not liked based on the skin color.

Care to share insights ?. . . Open to all thoughts . . . no judgements.

On Friday, an African American woman and her son (must have been about 8-10 years old) walked up to me while I was in New York city and asked me if I could give them some money for food. The woman looked lost and had tears in her eyes, but the son looks emotionless. I replied, "You should find the police, they should be able to help you out." She replied, "Forget it, we're black." and walked away.

I do feel really bad for not offering to help out, but I've given money to strangers (either that they "lost" their wallets, don't have money for food or even a train ride home, and etc...) that asked me for money in the last 2 years. After I gave those strangers money, I asked them to e-mail me back to let me know they've gotten home safely. You know how many e-mails I've gotten from those strangers? None... Not 1 had the decency to tell me that my money was well spent. So now I've rejected the last two attempts of strangers asking me for money. What would you guys do?

Keep in mind he's deaf and 23 years old. I was suppose to pay him the fee yesterday. When I approach to him about not being able to pay for full rent. He simply say "find a way to pay the rent or be out by tomorrow" I beg and talk to him for a bit.

Finally he told me "Do you think I think you're geuinely being nice to me because you consider me as a human? You're only being sweet and nice to me because you wants something from me. However if I or someone less "perfect" was to approach you to try talk to you or ask you out, you would have turned your nose up at them on the spot. So do you really think I want to do a favor for someone who pretty much consider me as a subhuman? How do you think your action make me feel?"

Then he tell me to write a full page on my thought on this and to try come up with as much as I could.

I feel so bad about this. I admit I know he's pretty much right about what he says. I know many people doesn't treat him well unless they want something from him.

I know you possibly couldn't answer this (I'm just PO'd). But this morning when i went for a jog, I had to wait at this intersection with some OC granny and her dog. She took one look at me and said, "Careful kid, Gregory's kinda curious." Now I don't mind her warning me about her dog. But did she have to call me "kid"? I'm 18 going on 19, I'm enrolled at UCLA, I've had sex! But, I'm only 5'3". So I guess she could be forgiven for that. But I believe the 5 o' clock shadow gives it away.

That's my rant, sorry to disturb you guys(and girls). Feel free to answer the question. Keep in mind that my profile picture was taken after I decided to be cheap and go for a "free" haircut. I didn't look like that this morning.

I took a bunch of explicit photgraphs and emailed them to this guy I frequently mess around with and I sent him all the pics. Tonight I was hanging around a friend who knows this guy and he told me that the guy I sent the pictures to is definately going to show them to everyone. What should I do? I know it was stupid of me know but I wasn't really thinking at the time. Also my nephew (he's 23, I'm 26) lives with him and I think he's even perverted enuf to show him! I don't want my reputation to be ruined and we know alot of the same people. What should I do? Can I threaten to press charges against him if they get out? I'm from a strict Catholic family and they would disown me if they found out.

I see so many racial comments here on this site. Yet when a respectful quetion of race is asked as I did within last half hour...the replies are few to none. Interesting.

Why would that be ?

I usually am the first to adopt technology..but I have always hated cell phones...it seems as if people ignore simple manners, are loud and rude. I have been forced to listen to peoples personal conversations on the train or in other public places...and besides...its like a big leash...everyone can get to you wherever you are....anyone else feel the same way?
(I know its not the technology, but the way we implement it..but still...)
