Slim cut are trendy. Wait, slim or skinny? Because slim/skinny jeans will (very likely) virtually disappear before too long. Disappear is a bit of a strong term, as they're still very present especially in higher fashion. Not to mention they're probably here to stay for women; that's bound to have an impact on menswear. That is fair. That is not even close I don't even know what

If you want to mix a lot of patterns and don't want to look all busy, 1) good job with recognizing the use of different proportions, 2) keep them in the same (neutral, generally) color family.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
I'm not sure if I can say anything that helps. I'll try. You just have to stop. Anytime you think of taking out your insecurities on her, just don't. Let them fade away. Have you told her how insecure and scared you've been lately? Because if you can't be more honest and trusting with her, you've got a lot of work to do. If you're going to love, you need to love passionately and with all your heart - and mind. I have trust issues too, I don't know why, and I have my bouts of jealousy. But in my situation (which I doubt I will ever explain to you guys, unless I see it as necessary), I just tell her. And she helps. She tells me how she feels, more than she's ever told anyone. I'm not sure if that helped. An example of what works for me, may not work for you. You're just going to have to learn to trust. It's hard. But does she trust you fully? Because that probably takes a lot for her. The least you can do is trust her. Don't worry, you aren't losing her. Just don't push her away. I know it's an awful feeling. Maybe focus on some romance. It's my specialty!

Hey. Tell me what to do next time I buy my 501s. Which will be disappointingly soon, just a couple months I bet. My mother insists on washing them (although she only notices after I've done what little laundry I do have, and throws my things in with hers willy-nilly), hopefully I can hold her off next time I get some. But my perfect indigo pairs are so wrong now. Fading badly, starting to fit wrong... So tell me what to do next time I start over with sexy jeans.

So, the first time I have sex, I intend for the lass to speak entirely in Fable sex quotes. This isn't asking for advice or anything. Just letting you guys know.

More than 1,000 dead birds fall from sky in Arkansas
That's what the National Wildlife Health Center thinks http://io9.com/5727758/national-wildlife-health-center-determines-cause-of-blackbird-death Except it has also happened in places like Sweden... There have also been mass bird deaths in Italy, as well as thousands of fish dying across the world in a similar fashion to that of the birds. I don't think it's a coincidence, and the firecracker hypothesis doesn't seem likely. Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-12135380 Blackbird deaths are common. They're known as suicide birds, not because they die on purpose, but they are really stupid. And have horrible eyesight. They'll follow one bird (that has no clue where it is going) straight into the ground. Happens many times a year, all over the world. Interesting that it is starting to happen so much; I don't know of any recorded cases when this happens. Particularly since they aren't all blackbirds - there were doves, too. I wouldn't jump to any conclusions. Nobody knows what's going on, not the experts, not the interested or concerned citizens. So, we wait.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Ah. If you love someone, don't be friends with them. It's unfair to both of you. You may think you can control yourself, but you will only make yourself sad. You'll love her with all your heart, but if she feels nothing ... Better to move on. But not to remain friends with her. And if she tries to remain friends with you, but admits she feels nothing, you need to move on. That is a wholly one-way relationship (I might not be making much sense: I believe any relationship you hold dear should be a 100/0 burden[not 60/40, not even 50/50], preferably for both people), and she is just using you for affection. Loving someone with all your heart is an amazing and rewarding thing, one that requires no mere reward physically. But when there's nothing there for her, it's... It's hard. It's hard to see her make mistakes. It is hard to see her get her heart broken, over and over. Hard to see her live a life like that when you can give her everything she wants and more. You just need to tell her. I'm a fan of big, romantic gestures, but I picture things differently than other people, or, indeed, the real world. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. All that really needs to be done is a serious talk, where you tell her you love her. Don't just leave it at that. Give her good reasons. Tell her you don't intend for it to be some sort of ultimatum. You just thought she deserved to know how you felt. And that you would like to know if there's anything there. Hm. Wrote a lot more that I expected. Probably gave away a bit as well.

I like Tanner Goods' belts. I also like these: Gaucho Belts. I hear they're the real bidness. Real simple and sturdy, but the designs take them up a bit in my books. Price is nice as well.

A torrando would be a logical solution but I think it'd be very obvious if it was. Not really. In a rural area, a tornado can happen with hardly any notice. So long as it's weak, it may not pick up very much dust, but can kill animals or people easily. But a tornado would throw animals much more haphazardly. The hail thing makes sense to me.

Polos are good if they don't have a massive logo. Or any logo. Got some henleys the other day. Really like them. And my levi's jeans jacket a ways back. It's acid-washed, but only slightly. I like it. And I got some saddle shoes, a darker shade of brown and black. Actually, the brown might be more of a ... Cordovan, perhaps. Ah, well. I'm thinking I want a watch, thin, large face, simple, but something interesting like my current watch - it is cut in half, so you can see the workings on the left side. Something like that. But that's something to think about a long time from now.

The Illuminati
The Freemasons exist though. That's fact. They're pretty much the kind of thing that the actual Illuminati was doing, not ruling the world. Hell, they're closer to being a religious organization than anything else. And chances are your home town has one of their lodges at least nearby. They're also not the same thing. They just get mixed together in the whole conspiracy mythos. Freemasonry is a fraternal thing. A group where men (mostly men full of merit) discuss their thoughts and do service. Considering the guys I know that are Freemasons, if they were ruling the world I would be pretty content. Although confused - there are a whole lot of them. But Masons are no scarier than religious (well, Deity-recognizing) sorority girls. Only, kind men.

A rose by any other name. Some folks feel the need to try and qualify others' feelings and actions. Why? I don't know. When they disagree with someone's feelings, they try and kill said buzz. I suggest we get off the topic. Who needs actual advice?

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
It was just a mutual breakup. Judging from her words, she might have been wanting to as well, or at the very least expecting it. They likely had a good relationship - certainly seems that way. And she probably just didn't want to end on bad terms with either person. She may even have thoughts of getting back with our boio, but who knows these things.

The Effects of Raising The Cost of Higher Education.
I thought you meant here in America. I was about to freak out. I already have to get my hands on every scholarship and financial aid I can find - and that doesn't include the fact that universities raise their prices every single year.

Depends on how hard I agree with something. LMFAO Anyways, statutory rape laws are rarely enforced, and I don't see any reason why 19 and 17 are any worse than 18 and 16. The only real concern is that the age difference would result in a large gap in terms of emotional maturity. Sounds better when you call it "corruption of a minor" or "unlawful carnal knowledge."

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Maybe she doesn't want to have sex with you. But a lot of states have a 2-year difference clause to their statutory rape laws. 16-18, 17-19.j That's relevant to a running joke between a friend and I: he (who is 20) will see a girl his age and sigh,"If only she was 16..." Whereas I, upon seeing beautiful girl my age, mutter "If only she was 20..." It's funny. Shut up.
