Hate being "tricked" into being the designated driver... Phone call with a buddy: Me: Hey man, I'm out longboarding, but I can be back at my house in like, 5 minutes. Did you need something? Him: Oh, okay. I'll just ride my skateboard over. [so-and-so] wants us to come over before the party. <--driving one person now -arrive at [so-and-so]'s house, hang out for a bit- [so-and-so]: we should probably head over now. -[so-and-so] and 'him' proceed to get into my car without bringing up the subject- <--driving two people now. Heh, and then 'him' got pretty drunk and flirted the whole time with this chick I like. He gets all physical and friendly when he's drunk, and that pisses me off. Anyway, being dd sucks.

Today is supposed to be a scorcher!

All About Satellites and Spaceships - Seven Percent Solution

Played some wiffle ball with a few friends and their siblings. It was pretty hot out, but really fun stuff. Going to a party later tonight. The host made spodie... I've never had it, and I'm not entirely sure it's going to be good. :\

Sun tans or fake tans? And do you mean on yourself or on everyone (such as women). Lady preference, I'd say I'd like a little bit tan, but still white enough to know they're white. I'm picky, and for some reason, I'm just not attracted to really dark skin. I'm only worrying about tans because of this stupid farmer's tan.

Fair enough. :grin:

Forever Lost - God is an Astronaut

I know this scenario is dumb, but I think it may prove my point. There's a room with two buttons in it. One button gives drugs to a person craving said addictive drugs. Another gives him something that will end said craving (not a drug, just some magical elixir :P). You are sent into the room, and you can either press the two buttons or simply leave without doing anything. For some reason, I think almost all of humanity would press the button that ends their craving for the drug. I doubt anyone would just leave and pass up a chance to make someone's life better. Heck, if you would, I can't change that. I'm just trying to show you that despite what you say, I think you kinda do care. :P Not trying to press my beliefs on ya.

I'll clarify that I'm not against social drinking. When talking about drugs, I can't say that I don't care about people doing drugs, because I do. I'd rather they didn't because it probably harms their health, and there's always the scary possibility of addiction. But, I'm not going to be the strict parent and butt into their lives to tell them to stop that [cabbage] (unless it's getting way out of hand).

Many times the situation is so that they are actually affecting other people (actually, I'll be bold enough to say that anyone addicted to drugs is not only hurting themselves; no matter what, a person can make a connection and show they are affecting others). If you manage to find someone who actually is only hurting themselves, then yes, we shouldn't care. But if faced with the question: Should people, who are guaranteed to get addicted to a drug, do that drug? Sure, you could say all you want, "I don't care, they can do what they want." But to be honest, it's hard for me to think that on the inside, you wouldn't simply rather have them not do the drug. You may not go out of your way to prevent it, but you'd rather them not get addicted to the drug. It's about empathy. Everyone has it (except those experiencing certain psychological problems). Choosing between whether a person experiences a life of pain and suffering or not, I'm sure you'd wish for them not to, no matter how unrelated they are to you.

Do you work as some sort of lifeguard? Or do you sell ice cream on the beach? :P That would suck. How do you ever get together with your friends with that [cabbage] going on all the time? --- I get really annoyed when I cut myself shaving my face.

When talking about addictive drugs, how can we not step in a try to prevent it? It's called solidarity. Mankind has to care for itself and it's existence, else there would be complete chaos. Addictive drugs for users who want to quit (there are tons out there who wish to stop but can't because of addiction) can ruin their lives. That's why I care about people around me using such addictive drugs, because I don't want them to get addicted and have their life turn to [cabbage] (I'm not assuming everyone's life turns to [cabbage] when they get addicted, but many do). Of course, this doesn't really apply to non-addictive drugs (though it can if the person uses it so often that their health becomes an issue). The way I see it, there are plenty of reasons for us to care, even if the drug doesn't directly affect you.

If my whole body was the same, light skin color of your typical Caucasian man, I wouldn't bother ever trying to get a tan. But unfortunately, years of football out in the sun gave me a pretty bad farmer's tan (not to mention a sock tan and a low short tan from the football pants). And I'm not sure if I like the farmer's tan look, haha.

Just finished a 3 hour COD Zombies game with three of my other buddies. Gosh that lasted longer than I wanted it to. Guess I'll be sleeping in late tomorrow.

Thanks! I'll look into those.

I like a little bit from each genre, I think. Haven't found much R&B and those that tend towards that 'rappish' style. Can't say I like country at all, though. Taylor Swift and all her beauty still doesn't make me like it a little. I'm quite fond of alternative, punk rock, and indie. Also, big fan of jam bands (DMB, Oasis, OAR, etc). I'll say I can handle a lot of music in all genres except country, rap/R&B, and classic rock (can't stand classic rock). I've got to say, though, besides Blink-182 and Dave Matthews Band, the majority of what I listen to is Post Rock. I've been trying to enlarge my library: Hammock Stars of the Lid Explosions in the Sky The Six Parts Seven Sigur Ros Eluvium This Will Destroy You Mogwai Godspeed! You Black Emperor Yndi Halda Mono There's probably a ton of other bands out there. Still searching. :thumbsup:

Played a board game with my older brother, his girlfriend, and my mom for about 3 hours. It was pretty fun.

Exactly. Just cause they mess with me about things and make fun of me doesn't mean their not friend-worthy. I'm sure there's a lot of that in any relationship. All I'm curious about is if certain things I do are actually not socially acceptable things for guys to do (out of the norm). EDIT: Cause if the action is rather out of the usual, firstly, I won't hear the end of it from my friends (which can get annoying after a while), and also I may have the potential of being seen as a weirdo (by girls who perhaps I'm trying to get closer to). And I do actually care what people think about me.

He sounds like he's going to cry at any moment. Throughout the whole video. It's making my eyes water.

I ate way healthier during college, believe it or not. That's because I could go up to a counter and ask for a chicken caesar salad and a lady would make it for me. At home, I don't have the materials to make such a darn good salad (heck, I don't even know what dressing she was using, since all the caesar dressings I have bought haven't tasted anything like the stuff she uses); plus, it'd be a lot of work for me to make it (more than it would usually take, being no work at all). And I wouldn't ever have to worry about running out of bananas or apples or other fruits that my college commons has available...

Err, I don't tell them. I can't help that my family can't keep their mouths shut. You're acting like I'm trying to get attention, geez.

I think you're right. :unsure: Thing is, my buddies are always looking for ways to make fun of me, and they blow things out of proportion (often times telling the girls in our group). :\

I have purposefully laid in my back yard on a towel to get a tan. Is that... er, gay? Or do a lot of guys try to get tans that way? Cause there's no way I'm going to a salon to do it. :\
