Site of the Week (2/25/05)

This is the first installment of my weekly addition to my blog aptly titled "Site of the Week." In this posting I will include a website to spotlight. Because a lot of my time is browsing the web, it is good to find some little (and not so little) known sites that provide good information and/or humor. This weeks site does both.

According to their website, Craig's List is about...
  • giving each other a break, getting the word out about everyday, real-world stuff.
  • restoring the human voice to the Internet, in a humane, non-commercial environment.
  • keeping things simple, common-sense, down-to-earth, honest, very real.
  • providing an alternative to impersonal, big-media sites.
  • being inclusive, giving a voice to the disenfranchised, democratizing ...
  • being a collection of communities with similar spirit, not a single monolithic entity.

In my summary it is a great place to buy or sell, find a job, find a date, find a house or just discuss. Some of the more entertaining things about it is certainly the "Best of;" and the more useful section would probably be "Free" under For Sale.

Pizza analogy...

So, here starts my carefree spirit of blogging. Based on my last post, I am now throwing caution and care to the wind and posting about whatever I want, not caring if it sucks. I guess it's like basketball ... the more you shoot, the more you'll make. So, I am taking more shots, bound to get a good post in sometime.

OK, so the one thing I have never really posted on here is girls; I know most of you are shocked that I never have because of how much I talk about them in person. That all will change here. I won't specifically name names, and if I do, they are bound to be fake, but who knows.

I am sure this has happened to most people, not necessarily with pizza, but follow me. Remember back to that day you were eating pizza, and it was one of the best pizzas you have ever had. The first slice was great. The second was amazing, so you are assured the third will prove exponentially better. All the time you are savoring the third piece it is just as good as you imagined. However, you finish the third piece of pizza and as you are sitting there, you start feeling a little funny. Maybe you are sick; maybe not, but you soon realize you ate just one too many pieces. If you had just stopped after two, you would be happy, but nope, you ate the third piece. What can you do about it now? Nothing. You just stand there, wading in the pool called Regret. You know that feeling? Ok, now that's how I felt the other day.

As most men (and even women know), dealing with females is a delicate operation. Here's the story: There is a girl that has caught my attention. When this happens, I know you are not suppose to run after the girl (i.e. eat the whole pizza at once); this scares the girl. However, there are certain rules/guidelines that must be followed to continue in a successful pre-dating relationship. You take a step forward (ie initiate conversation), then you wait for her to take a step forward (ie initiate conversation with you, or invite you out with her and friends). Then you take a step forward and so the game goes. There are sometimes when you can get away with taking TWO steps before she steps. This is even sometimes what girls want or expect. However, my "rule" is to stop at two. If she doesn't step towards me after I step twice, that's a clear sign she's not interested. Well, last week I took the third step, and it feels a lot like eating that third piece of pizza. Something you regret, but can't take back. When this happens, I have found it best to avoid "pizza" for awhile.

Surprised?

So, obviously I have not posted in awhile, but hopefully I can get back on that train. I suspect there are several reasons why I have neglected to post:
  1. I must admit my last post about text messaging was great... Definitely worth a posting in a newspaper or magazine (or an online blog). Therefore it would be tough to top a post like that.
  2. I have this preconceived notion that my post should be long. This is due to my friends posting very poetic blogs: Josh and Brandon.
  3. I care. I care what people think and I don't want to post something stupid or irrelevant or superfluous.
I suspect this will change soon for one reason: I bought a new laptop. It is a Dell, so it needs to be delivered and won't get to me for a couple weeks. When I have something new to fiddle with, I love to spend a lot of time on it. However, I suspect I will get bored, but want to keep playing, so then, I'll post more... Enjoy.
