Nobody's Talkin' At Me...

Look. I'm sick of all the lurking--contribute or else!

On another tract--what products/services do you endorse?

I like Clinique makeup (after years of using the higher-priced stuff) and expensive pedicures--the cheap ones are really a rip off and could lead to VD. Vous?

(I like the lobstah smilie and feel it's underused)

I'm not a big makeup fan. It really bugs me when girls, usually teens/early twenties, wear too much make-up. I don't care how pretty a girl is excess or obvious makeup is nausea inducing.

I endorse:

Diet Mtn. Dew
Cheeseburgers with broiled bleu cheese on top

I'm not a make-up fan either, although when I used to wear it, it was clinique. Actually, I wanted to wear make-up to Jim's work x-mas party last year, so I bought some Mary Kate and Ashley brand on my way down to the hotel. It was very sparkly.
I've never had a pedicure, but I did have my eyelashes dyed once. I would do that again.

Endorsements:
Keen shoes
Abercrombie jeans
Jeeps (I covet the new Commander)
Stumble!

I've never worn makeup outside of theatrical events or or Halloween, but when I did, I always preferred water-based pancake makeup to greasepaint. Greasepaint melts in the heat and runs into your eyes.

I endorse:

Moog Synthesizers
Martin Guitars
DVD43
Hollywood Video's MVP Program
Diet Coke (Vanilla, Lime and Regular - no Cherry)
Flexoril

That's a complicated question, naturally. I'll try to give you the Cliff Notes version.

One factor is my Avoidance Syndrome. Instead of fixing something, I'd start over (eg, instead of fixing my job, go out and get a new job). Life is screwed up, become a different person, or fantasize about it.

Another is that I am a pleaser. I identify with women who talk about how that has kept them from taking care of their own needs, and how hard it was to please a controlling dominant father. A lot of guys talk about how when they were younger felt they could do anything and had lots of confidence. I always felt inadequate and don't identify with that.

I don't like the posturing of career-oriented men. I do it real well, but it is a strain to put up the facade. After talking with some women about this, it is a case of the grass being greener on the other side. Women can be tough on each other too.

Finally, men are plain. Women have a lot of freedom of expression with makeup and the variety of clothing they can wear. It seems like it's more fun to be female.

If I were on a date with a woman that said she wasn't female at birth that would creep me out even though I might understand it. I know, it doesn't make any sense to me either.

This is how rumors start. I thought he meant he, too, wished Brianna was 20 again. Is there a cliff notes version of the cellar for people like me?

The real question is, have you ever ordered Guinness and Diet Coke with Splenda from the same bartender?
