I know I have been going to a restaurant too long when I have to refill my own tea, and it happens quite often, I will go to someplace, either read or write and the next thing I know the owners are sitting at my table, asking my opinion of things they are planning on doing. It usually goes slightly pear shaped as I lose control of what I eat there (there is only so much brisket I can eat, even if it is good, I would really like the lasagna and not seafood soup that you made special... today, yes I like your food, I come here all the time, dont I? (oh god, please dont let him cry)Yes (damn, she broke out the puppy eyes), I’ll have the seafood soup and the brisket (bugger! I REALLY wanted the lasagna cause its awesome *sigh*)) and become the subject of many a culinary experiment, some good, some... lets just say that the breadstick experiment where I had to explain that they arent actually as HARD as sticks, just stick.. (well, they dont look like sticks at all do they?) ...ish, or the ice cream over ‘Habanero bananas foster’ (Oh my god, I thought I was gonna die! (I dont even want to talk about the time I got liquid chili juice in between my teeth inside my gums up and under my tongue)). Then they learn that I am mechanically, technically, and computer inclined (I have always assumed that everyone could do what I did, little did I know (It amazes me the things people try with, as I learn, no real clue)) and the next thing you know I am putting together gumball machines, wiring speakers, fixing long dead jukeboxes and pinball machines, shopping for tv’s, building a website or repairing a computer for them (apparently I work for food, who knew?).

I have no idea what attracts them to me, most dont even know my name, they have a nickname that someone has picked out for me and the next thing you know they have other customers, family members and staff calling me ‘Best Buy’ (I dont even shop there), or ‘Wiz’ (I have ALWAYS hoped it was because of the pinball machine), or ‘Spanky’ (I am STILL afraid to ask), or even, ‘Yo Dude!’ (the one I am actually most comfortable with). They get little kids (theirs or someone else’s) and grandmothers (also theirs or someone else’s) calling me whatever name it is (god help me if I meet them somewhere else because other people assume its my real nickname and get upset when I dont answer to it (seriously, Spanky? Oh, your gandpa was called Spanky... (awkward))). Phone calls are even better because I dunno who it is calling me ‘Best Buy’ asking me if I can come over to show them how to use their brand new mp3 player and ITunes so they can listen to Adam Lambert’s (yes, thats a true story) American Idol songs (Adam who? the gay one on idol? the jerk brit dude? I thought his name was simon something... no, I dont watch it... (it went downhill from there)).

It goes the other way too, many a person (ok, women) has started reading the Sookie books before Trueblood came out and they want to discuss (loudly) Anita Blake, or Queen Betsy (ok, I read well, just not well read) with me (not the twilite thing, even I have standards, they might not be high but they are higher than ‘tween goth melodramas’ about 90 year old s*xual predators (yeah, I went there) who ‘twinkle’ (I dont even want to know what thats a metaphor for) in the sun).

The reason I wrote this, well I was trying to write today, as I ate my lunch that I didnt chose and had to stop as everyone went by and said, “Bye Best Bye” or “Hey Best Buy, what do you think of the new door?" (it's a little crooked... dont give me the puppy dog eyes, you asked)Put that in your book, that we got a new door.” and, “Hey, Best Buy, where can I get speakers for the new deck, and can you wire them up next week?” and, my favorite, “Go get your own tea, Best Buy, you are like family now so you can go and get your own tea”

I guess its not a bad thing after all...

Yeah, you ! I see you reading this blog.
Sure, you can ACT like you're not there.

Or at least you could have... in the past.

But, NOT any longer !
I purchased Voyeurdetect 3.7
Once installed, this sophisticated software
allows the owner to cyberdetect blog readers.
Since I installed it last night,
it's already too late for you.

I am AWARE.

But, don't worry. I won't let the other readers
know of your filthy voyeuristic habit....
...that is...unless you don't comment below.
If not, I'm going to tell them ALL about you're stalking me.
How you ...well, never mind...for now.

Where are all the caring people? Caring is a thing of the past. No longer are people concerned or interested in things that do not benefit them. If they don't see themselves in the equation, then forget them. It is a daily reality...but why?

one for the ladies
have you ever been with a guy who likes to wear womens clothes i.e.tights etc
or give me your opinions on the subject

Well the first one would be respect because if you respect one another you can live a better life with one another. The second is love without a relationship will not succeed. The third one is loyalty be loyal to one another in stills trust with one another. The fourth thing is honor, and this one you draw your own conclusion because it means different things for different couples. The fifth and final one is honesty be honest with each other will give you more sense of being complete and it will also tell your partner that they can trust you no matter where you go.

My friends call me "Xena The Princess of Warrior" and my matching man is "Hercules"! Maybe they're right; almost in my whole life I have to "battle" with many problems that I must faced and finished them well. I have to "swing my sword" for winning the competitions in business, thinking how to make new innovations for market, raising my children with their own problems, watching their education and what else...

With all that, sometimes I feel soooo tired! I wish I was a cute little bunny who could make everyone love to hug, taking care of me with warm heart. It would be nice if there was a shoulder to lean on, a pair of arms that are always ready to protect me from everything... but, don't say that he must be Hercules!

But, what if I turn into Xena again???

to anyone i hurt in this place i am more then sorry im just trying to be happy and to you sshore don't worry about it calm is the best way to be no need to apologise to me every thing is ok

so its official..



In a phenomenon known as 'mate poaching' – but soon to be dubbed the 'Angelina Jolie effect' – women expressed a clear preference for those who were unavailable.

Researchers Dr Melissa Burkley and Jessica Parker found that 90 per cent of women questioned were interested in a man when told he was in a relationship, compared to 59 per cent when told the same man was single.

"This finding indicates that single women are considerably more interested in pursuing a man who is less available to them."

They postulated: "This may be because a man who is attached has already shown his ability to commit and, in a sense, has been pre-screened by another woman."


ok i am married. and have kids. anyone now!

Hi my name is Mike, But my friens and family call me little Mikey.

I am 40 years old and I am from San Bernardino, I am the father of two boys who live with their mother in Oregon It is ok though because I talk to them often.

I am a person who enjoys having fun, and being with people who make me laugh. I have had som drama in my life, but most of it I brough upon myself.

I am hoping to find someone I can relate to who may be looking for a long term relationship down the road.

I don't judge and I hope not to be judged, I am kinda shy I am very honest even when it has consequences, I am very proud of that because that was not always the case.

I am hoping that when you get my message you take the time to get back at me.

Take care I hope to hear from you soon.
Respectfully,
Mikey.

I think they have a lot in common.Women profiles remaind me the fishing hook that waits for a big fish.What surprises me most is how patient the fisherwomen are.Everyday they patiently turn their computers on and wait wait wait....Unfortunately small fish does not suits their needs but the big fish does not swim here because the waters are too shallow.
