That's why I'm up-front about not wanting sex. Only foreplay.

Play intramurals, exercise and eat right. Explore your college, and take advantage of how much [cabbage] they really have. You can often help with research and earn thousands of dollars.

I feel everyone should take a philosophy class in college. Of course, not too long ago, everything was considered philosophy. Now it's either way vague or way specific. Huh. Dudes who major in philosophy, however, need to take beard management classes. And Texas Tech's Intro to Philosophy professor needs to be less pretentious. We get that it's a primarily engineering school, so your class is "special". You're still bad at teaching.

Start using witch hazel as a face cleanser and an aftershave. Just splash it on; you can get a big thing of it for cheap at any drug store. It's good for cuts and stuff you - your mother might even keep some. But it's a great astringent. Minor acne sucks, because it sticks around forever. My body decided to go through puberty in about six months, so now I have some acne pigment scars. I hear those only stick around for a year or so, but they're already fading like crazy. I haven't had any real acne in months. Kind of weird. I think the biggest acne treatment is accutane, though. Ask a doctor.

My favorite thing to do is be walking with the lass, then at one point stop her, look her over, and then tell her (quite matter-of-factly) that you absolutely must take her on a date. Odds are she'll blush and smile. For a while.

"Hey. Do I know you from somewhere?" "No, I don't think so, but you look familiar." "Oh. Well, do you like nachos?" Talk about nachos. Don't get her number. You'll see her again. Or you won't.

Just have to learn how to handle girls like that. Talk to your buddy after you get her attention and she pretends to ignore you. Talk about how revealing her shirt is, but you don't know if you like it. She will immediately either laugh or shift her body in some way.

Is private school a big thing in other places? Here there's only one private school, although there are two schools that are only technically in the district that are populated by the rich white kids. The private school is for the really rich white kids that are rather snooty. Pre-frat bros. Not friendly with them, nor they with me. Kind of a sad situation. Aw.

Definitely 4, possibly at least 10 that I would take a bullet for and would probably return the favor. Funnily enough, the only person that really knows me well is a girl that I have extreme attraction to, and a lot of sexual tension. She lives in Washington. Bummer. But I don't really do friendships between me or girls in the modern sense. I don't treat girls like I treat boys in any scenario.

I like a Serbian exchange girl. Doop a doop doop. She appears to reciprocate. So oddly alluring. Not in the classic sense either. I'm a bit alienated with the girls I used to think I dug. But they changed massively over the summer. Mostly because of hanging out with a girl I have a bit of tension with. Why it's still like that, I don't know - she decided that I was an [wagon] over the summer. Also a girl in my pre-cal class that I've been at least interested in for a while. She's oober-Christian, though. And has a bit of a Who nose.

If you can be a man about it and tell her how her shirt really shows off her ... Personality.

Then on your first day as a sophomore you will wonder to yourself, "why the [bleep] did I wear a blazer as a highschool freshman." Style is timeless, my man. I'm wondering why I didn't. High school's a great time to experiment with your style, because [bleep] 'em.

I forgot what high school was like. Kind of absurd. Of course, next year will be worse. Just because I will have already lived a more exciting life than the majority of 20-somethings, and yet I'll be seventeen and a senior. Chuckle giggle laff.

Man, [bleep] the guy that figured that out. Our explanation was better.

It was called zero hour here. But all they offered were classes that freshmen take, and only to juniors and seniors. Then they acted like it was our fault we don't have a zero hour. Wha? ...Who is this they? Ah well.

I convinced many of my friends that that is the case, and now it's rubbed off on me. It certainly works.

That's a massive difference. How can you not easily tell?

I believe he was honoring (or bastardizing) Thomas Paine here. "Lead, follow, or get out of the way." I like Demosthenes. "While the vessel is safe, whether it be a large or a small one, then is the time for sailor and helmsman and everyone in his turn to show his zeal and to take care that it is not capsized by anyone's malice or inadvertence; but when the sea has overwhelmed it, zeal is useless." And Ben Franklin. "An old young man will be a young old man."

Like I said. That's everywhere. Then take "In God we trust" off all of our currency. I wouldn't want to misrepresent anybody. Aye. America is technically considered a Christian nation. It was, to a degree, founded as such. The freedom of religion, that was based off of the Maryland Tolerance Act of ... 1647? Sometime around then. But it only applied to everyone but Atheists and Jews. Now take note that it was merely tolerance. Of course, times are changing rapidly, in all sorts of ways. Except our bodies, but that's another subject for me.

Its not really the stupidity that bothers me, I mean they could have had a rally about apples giving humans superpowers. What bothers me is that this type of stupidity leads to anger towards other people who have different views on religion, and this seems to be spreading in the USA. When the Nazi's were rising to power in Germany, there were probably some Jewish people saying the same thing as you " Oh, they are just stupid people, no worries." But stupidity seems to spread, fast. Many kept saying it even as the Jews were pushed into the ghettos. There is no probably about it. What nobody in the world seems to understand, is that as long as there's anything, there will be anger. Pride. Prejudice. If there are two people in the world, they will find something to fight about. It's our nature. It blows, but it happens, and fixing it would mean we're no longer humans. This is what drives us to do just about everything, if you simplify things enough (which you shouldn't). I just think people need to quit worrying about these little things. It isn't even like this is new! It didn't just happen all of a sudden, and the entirety of America isn't going to rise up against non-Christians. There are tons of reasons. For example: Glenn Beck appeals to a demographic. It's a tiny one. It may seem large, and yes, that many people can do a lot of damage, but more than anything he attracts the wrong kind of people for anything dangerous. It's the same way with Alex Jones. He has many, many listeners, many who believe everything he says - such as when a (joke) trailer for Robert Rodriguez's movie Machete came out depicting something of a Mexican nationalistic uprising against America. They didn't do anything except (probably) flood his forums with outrage and fear and "What if..." There are real issues, though. While you worry about something ridiculous like that, Mexican drug cartels are invading our soil. Farms and ranches all along the border are being used and even attacked. And yet that receives no media attention (although some accounts are exaggerated). People are far more worried about whether or not they're better than their neighbors than the Arizona Rape Trees. As to religious rebirth: people are sad and scared right now. They want something, anything, to tell them all will be well. And that's fine, so long as it doesn't get violent. In our times, we'd know if it did. That being said, I can be sure of nothing and my opinion is probably invalid.

People are stupid. That will always happen. And as long as there are charismatic stupid people, there will be events like this. Take Bill Maher. He's a comedian, for crying out loud - and yet his pseudo-theological "documentary" netted a cool $13 million. If you don't like it, become a leader for something you do believe in. The world isn't fair, and it won't become fair unless you shape it as you see fit. There are plenty of stupid Europeans. They're just stupid with silly accents.

Just be charismatic. Smooth talkers can be looked down upon, or seen as a bad thing. A charming young gentleman bursting with charisma is loved worldwide!

So, I just realized how my friend Devy attracts girls (apart from him being an amazing, beautiful person). He talks. About anything. My favorite is nachos. You need a friend who is a good wingman. It works best when the girl is confused or just being kind of snooty. Actually, it works anytime. Start talking to her, and/or start a back-and-forth with the wingman. Mention how girl is (pretending not to be or outright) listening to the conversation, it's kind of rude, but she's cute so it's okay and she should join in. It's so much fun. And it never gets old. Ever. Nachos are easy to talk about, to have a good back-and-forth with.

Do more social things. Can't have a girlfriend without often going out with friends. A girl won't like you unless it's obvious everyone else does, too. Man, I just realized I'm sixteen now. Part of my group's dynamic was having someone too young to drive that looked college-aged. Now, instead of: "Wait, you're fifteen? Whoa!" its just "Oh, you're 16? That's cool I guess."

"Listen up, you freshman [bleep]s!" Not the exact quote. This is better.
