…But I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
February 22, 2006After reading an acquaintance’s blog yesterday (when I should have been working on something), I decided that I was going to list all the qualities I look for in a woman.
So I gave it some thought on the train while listening to my iPod and reading my first pocket book of Strangers in Paradise (after finishing the first this morning, I immediately ordered parts 2 & 3).
Then I gave it some more thought this morning while listening to Lewis Taylor and…
…I don’t know.
I know what I’ve had, what I’ve loved and what I’ve hated.
But I don’t know what I need in my life right now.
The “me” who was in a relationship a year or so ago doesn’t exist anymore.
Like certain animals who periodically shed their skin, I have a tendency to shed skin after every relationship.
There are certain consistencies but certain things that have definitely changed.
I’m a much more openly geek than I used to be.
I like to be alone more.
I rarely talk on the phone unless it is for confirmation of plans.
I used to be die-hard about looking for people who I had a bunch of things in common (favorite movies, TV shows, restaurants, brand of soap, etc.) because I still think there isn’t anything more fun than sharing a passion with someone.
But now I find myself attracted to be people I have little to nothing in common with.
I guess the whole point of this was that I realized this morning that I don’t know what this “me” (Version 4.0) really wants in a woman anymore.
The only thing all we can agree on is that I have to think she is funny and (harder of the two) she needs to think I am funny. Because I am going to make a lot of bad jokes and if you are not even slightly amused, we might as well skip dessert and I’ll just drive you home.
Now I’ve Seen Everything

Sicko “Marriage Contract” One For The Ages
Repulsive “Wifely Expectations” pact emerges in Iowa kidnap case
FEBRUARY 17–This country, as you know, is filled with the deranged. And then there’s Travis Frey, a 33-year-old Iowa man who is facing charges that he tried to kidnap his own wife (not to mention a separate child pornography rap). Frey, prosecutors contend, apparently is a rather demanding guy. In fact, he actually drew up a bizarre four-page marriage document–a “Contract of Wifely Expectations”–that sought to establish guidelines for his spouse in terms of hygiene, clothing, and sexual activities. In return for fulfilling certain requirements, Frey (pictured right) offered “Good Behavior Days,” or GBDs. Each GBD, Frey wrote, could be redeemed by his wife to “get out of doing the things” he requested daily. A copy of the proposed contract, which Frey’s wife never signed and later provided to cops, can be found below. While we normally point out the highlights of most documents, there are so many in this demented, and very graphic, contract, we really can’t do it justice. So set aside ten minutes–and prepare to be repulsed. (4 pages)
Because I liked being judged…

February 16, 2006The Hill Have Eyes
I need a girl who wants to see horror movies with me.
Because this looks pretty damn creepy.
Usually, I frown on this trend of remaking 70’s horror movies because they all seem to do the same thing: enhance gore, through in some Japanese “Ringu”-jerky walking camera tricks, and add some Michael Bay/Tony Scott epileptic camera editing.
But Wes Craven was hands on with this remake of his own movie and the director is Alexandre Aja whose High Tension I just finished watching (the twist was flimsy and unbelievable but stylistically a very good movie).
So ladies, what’s up?
My Valentine’s Day Dedication to Everyone
February 14, 2006This Is Not A Love Song (click to listen)
by Omar
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
I draw the line at getting involved with anyone
I’ve been messed with all my life
I don’t consider it much fun
Love is all around me but so damn hard to find
People keep telling me it’s there I must be blind
This is not a love song
This is not a love song (don’t get me wrong)
Every day I try to get on with my life but you get in the way
Excuse me if I’m distant I’m trying to keep love at bay
If you love me you will give me all the time that I need
Love is for some people maybe it’s not for me
I tried to sit and wait and contemplate that
You were simply a phase I had to overcome
Spend sleepless nights around you procrastinate about you
I’m thinking something simply has to be done
Who says I love you but I don’t think I do
