"Because he treated me like a person"

The title of this entry says far too much. Seriously... how is it through most of my life I've either made friends with or gotten a date with a woman because I made her "feel like a person and not an object?"

The hell is that shit?

How is it that so many men go through their lives thinking that leering and cat calls will get you laid? It won't. You don't have to be smooth, you don't have to be suave. You just have to behave like a man and treat a woman like a person and not something you fap to on the interwebs.

Just because she has a vagina doesn't deny her humanity. I spent the entire weekend at Adepticon watching socially backwards gamer idiots leer over my best friend. It wasn't cool. Not even a little. She is a person, and a pretty damn cool one at that. Staring at her will not help you get a conversation, it will only make her uncomfortable around you. Also, it makes me want to get all big brother and start yelling at people to show a bit of respect.

Hell, at the last party I went to with the gorgeous Mrs Rabbit, I had to stand between her and creepy leering dudes. Just because she looks good doesn't mean you can opening gawk at her. That's just insulting, rude and in general really skeevy. Never mind the whole territorial instinct to get all "you looking at my woman?" and start some idiotic brawl. Don't make me do it damn it. Cause if you guys keep it up, someone is getting a beer bottle crammed in an uncomfortable place...

This post is more frustration than anything. I've known far too many women who I became close to simply because I treated them like a human being and not some object to be leered at.

Seriously... stop staring at a woman's ass or tits and learn to look her in the eye. It will get you far closer to the finish line than the obvious mental undressing. It is not just rude, but it won't get you laid. Have some class, behave with dignity and respect and you will be repaid in kind. Act like a childish leering ape and be prepared to be treated like one.

So to recap... behave with respect and don't stare... for all of us baby... cause I'm tired of having to pick up the slack for you losers.

Wait... on second thought... I have some of the best friends in the world and the best Girlfriend EVER because of idiots like you. Keep it up. Be complete tools and leave the quality Women for the Men who earn the right to say hello.

Random... OR GENIUS?

The joys of Android

So I've been tooling around with my phone again. As some of you know, I had to get an Evo right before Xmas when my Hero died. I love it.

With the release of Cyanogen 7 and the final inclusion of WiMax, I made the jump. After a lot of tinkering, here is the result:

Texas Hires

So now that they are done, now that all the positions have been filled, my thoughts...

SWEET FUCKING LORD IN HEAVEN THIS WAS AN AWESOME THREE WEEKS OF COACHING HIRES

...

Ahem... I can't believe how far the pendulum has swung in my personal excitement level for the next fall. Can't wait to see what Harsin and Major can cook up. That mad scientist lab will be awesome. The S&C coach is a walking demon, and it will be awesome to see how his impact plays out. Manny "play like 11 men who just got out of insane asylum" Diaz has me AMPed for how the defense will play. Coach Boom was great, and I wish him the best in his new Gator digs, but Diaz has me excited again about the defense. Oh, and Dr. Death coming back to Texas.

Mack has the chip back on his shoulder. He has that swagger of "You doubt me and you pay" back. I'm excited for 2011 and can't wait to see what this translates to on the field.

Coming next week: When was the last time music kicked your ass?

*FACEDESK*

Welcome to the new year...

This post has been taking WAY too long. Sorry for the delay... for the three of you who read this blog.

So it looks like Texas might... maybe... perhaps... possibly have a new set of Co-Ordinators... oh wait. Or not. C'mon Mack... get it in gear. We are frothing at the mouth to get something resembling good news. Since the UCLA game, it has felt like rats running from a sinking ship around the 40 Acres. I can't wait for something good to happen... seriously.

But as my dad so perfectly: "Not like I can un-graduate."

Later... more thoughts on Warmachine and 40k coming soon... promise.

Having fun with Rokkits

Adding to the Giant Rocket theme that I used in August for WARGames Con, I'm adding some warbuggies to my Ork army. Going to make them Rokkit Launchas:

I'm using spare Rokkit packs from some Storm Boys and plasticard to make the plat forms.

Going to make 4 in total and paint them to match the rest of the army.

Heroes

I
I will be king
And you
You will be queen
Though nothing will
Drive them away
We can beat them
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
Just for one day

And you
You can be mean
And I
I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers
And that is a fact
Yes we're lovers
And that is that

Though nothing
Will keep us together
We could steal time
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
For ever and ever
What d'you say

I
I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins
Like dolphins can swim
Though nothing
Will keep us together
We can beat them
For ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes
Just for one day

I
I will be king
And you
You will be queen
Though nothing
Will drive them away
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be us
Just for one day

I
I can remember
Standing
By the wall
And the guns
Shot above our heads
And we kissed
As though nothing could fall
And the shame
Was on the other side
Oh we can beat them
For ever and ever
Then we can be Heroes
Just for one day

We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
We're nothing
And nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying
Then you better not stay
But we could be safer
Just for one day
