I have always wondered what is harder to achieve on a test, while answering every question, 0% or 100%.

I've always thought 0% being just as hard to achieve, seeing as how you still have to know what is right to know what is wrong.

For the life of me I'll never understand the phrase "Fake it 'til you make it." Yes, I know what it means, but why it is such a good piece of advice. Seems weird to be all "I don't know what to do, but if I look like I know and hope for the best then at some point it will work out for me and hopefully not blow up in my face."

Statistically speaking, they're both just as hard. Assuming you take a test in which the subject matter is way over your head.

They are making another Titanic. No, I don't mean a sequel to the movie, I mean they are building a second Titanic, naming it Titanic II. It is supposed to have its maiden voyage in 2018.

I really hope it doesn't take the same route.

I heard about this over a decade ago. Some billionaire had the bright idea to build this and it looks like he went through with his plans.

From the images he tried his best on perfectly recreating it, as best as possible.

Hopefully Zap Brannigan doesn't drive it. (For you Futurama fans.)

A photographer posted a picture of a killer whale feeding just feet from his face. He asked, what do you wish you could do?

I say
Be a mermaid and have safe passage in the ocean world. Listen and talk to all sea life. Learn what we've done. What we are doing. What we can fix. Then turn into Lucy the Scarlett Johansen character and spit out the ultimate jump drive and hand it to Morgan Freeman so he can get started on saving our oceans. Then back in time to when we became the human homosapiens (sp). Safe passage to find out wtf happened to us. When why. Was it one person. What the heck happen. I can fast forward at will. I just want to know. Would I change anything even if it meant I wouldn't exist. I'm sure there would be no way to stop me, Yes.

What do you wish you could do or witness?

affect a 15 minute time jump to the past. And win the Lottery at least once.

What I would do with 50 million dollars after taxes. I've been hanging with my money management friend and he's put me up on so many things!

I would never have to worry about my mom or my niece again. I'd be set for life!


It's crazy what life is like and what your "wishes to do" are when you're smallminded. I feel like such a troglodyte in my visions compared to this "world changing" thing you're talking about, LMAO

Why is "Is it bigger than a bread box?" always a question when playing 20 Questions? Now I know what a bread box is and how big it is, but you would think we would have moved on from that unit of measurement for that game and go to other boxes we see more of, like shoe box.

It's not even Valentine's day but I'm worried about my plans for that night. It's getting harder and harder to stay single.... And I'm not even looking for a girlfriend or sex. In fact I'm not even trying. It's just every time I turn around there's trouble flirting with me.

I help the pizza girl bring her 40lb bags of pizza into college.... trouble, asking me if I'm single and suggesting to we hang out on Sunday. I give a girl in my apartments a pizza I'm traveling home with.... trouble, wanting to get to know me better. I run into my ex crush and end up mentioning I played guitar since elementary school... trouble, wanting personal lessons.

I tutor, I lead student groups, I give blood and bone marrow, I volunteer where help is needed, soon to be teaching STEM to inner-city kids, I cook....if I can make through the Holocaust museum on Sunday without a special friend, I will be OK. I'm getting my own apartment soon too... Dammit, I'm going to be married again I just know it. And I was just enjoying being single again.

Don't do it man! Flirting leads to dating...dating leads to cohabitation...cohabitation leads to marriage...marriage leads to the dark side....

Hehe...no offense to the married peeps here. I'm married but seperated. Yeah I know what you mean TheGreatDivider. I just stay in on weekends and watch a movie or read books. I went on a drunken spree a couple of weeks ago and came home with phone numbers. Deleted them from my phone the next morning. I love women...looooooove them. However, just don't want to be packed up and shipped off for serious stuff.

Working on my private interests, going hard on my PE and upping my physical training. Just looking forward to meeting my goals with these things.

Exactly! I'm divorced, I've been divorced for a couple of years now. I'm finally over my ex wife and I'm enjoying my life. I spent so long wanting another relationship and sex but resisting until I got my head on straight. Now that I'm doing good great I'm attracting women.... I freaking hate it.

I keep finding myself in situations where I think I'm meeting a girl as just a friend, or talking with a classmate about her, saying hi to a neighbor, then she says something along those lines or clearly flirts and I say to myself "uh-oh!"

I used to be so good at picking up women too, and after being married I know the how to talk to women for hours.... I know what happens next. I stop caring and i say to myself "it's go time" and before I know it I'm spending my Saturdays at Bed, Bath, and Beyond shopping for scented candles.

It's going good to happen soon I just know it. I just don't want want any of these really short women that keep flirting me, no busty blonds, and not another Hispanic either. Give me a woman 6' or taller and black who can stand up to me when I'm being a dick. I would marry that woman in a heartbeat.

I smashed the screen on my tablet today. This tablet, the one I am typing on right now! I was delirious with exhaustion and was running to catch my ride, in order get to school on time to meet a club at the Chinese New Year festival. I can only go so far before I lose my wifi.

I tripped and watched my tablet fly out of my hand and ended up on my back skinning my right hand and knee, my left elbow, and my forehead somehow. I was beyond pissed....

Anyways, I spent the the day with some great friends bought a bunch of Asian coins and glass rocks with inspirational words to give away as gifts. I took a few funny pics of obvious penises and PIV modern art I can post later. I helped a short Asian man take a pic of his sons performance over the crowd.

I tried some really weird Americanized Asian fusion food too, good but not good enough to order again in this lifetime. I had Boba tea which was not worth the hour wait, but the Taro was good. And I ordered the parts to repair my tablet (over $100 I coding the tool kit and static wrist band). I'm certified BTW, so if anyone in the Dallas are needs a free repair for the cost of parts I will have the tools (you just have to order the parts). I need take pics of this for a club at school too.

So anyway.... Life, lemons, lemonde.

Valentine's Day is to tomorrow and I'm still single, thank God. If I can only make it 25 more hours without meeting a woman I can celibate and tell Cupid to suck it.

Get yourself a work wife. It's great so long as both if you have clear boundaries and never cross them.

It's a true nightmare and at the same time very very sad when you have a neighbor that's an alcoholic. One spouse has lost their minds, literal brain damage, from the decades of alcohol abuse. Several times a week outside arguing with the other spouse. The high pitch and the fact the noise travels for blocks. The whole neighborhood, when outside which most of us are where we live, know their business. The spouse goes on the attack. In with daggers of insults. The other spouse rarely saying a word.
The animal in you wants to scream shut the fuck up. But the humanity in you knows the sick spouse is sick. Still drinks. The sober spouse is in it for "in sickness and in health" clearly.
What should be a starry beautiful quiet night is ruined by this couple.
Then the next day they are fine. Then a few days later it starts again.
I have to think that had the sick spouse had some other illness screaming from pain you wouldn't feel the same. But this mental illness or addiction whatever you call it is what it is and is treated differently. One is predisposed to get angry. It's unavoidable. But thank God I immediately switch into the proper zone and remain quiet.
Addiction. I'll never understand it. It's one of my top five questions when I get to heaven.
I have a great ability to tune any noise out. So much so it drives people crazy. If they are talking to me or a squeak in a car or dog barking etc I don't hear it until I'm finished in my nothing box. I am able to do it with these people when I check out. The next day a neighbor will comment about the subject of " last nights event" and I honestly have no idea what they are talking about.
The fact it goes on at all is not right. The sober spouse is enabling this. Maybe there's some reason this spouse has given up. Again very very sad.
Count your blessings people. Xo
