Figuring Things Out

ok, so now with my new found technology and a bit of time to post things, I'm wondering which direction I should go with my blog. I hadn't really thought about it before... just in case that wasn't too obvious by my randomness with my posts. I think for now I will let things evolve organically and just talk about my life in the Nation's Capital. I do however think I will start to discuss dating in DC a bit more, since chit chatting with my girlfriends about dating and the man situation in the city is constantly supplying us with more problems and questions about why it is so weird here.

More later on that, right now though I'm going to watch My Boys. Don't think I'm too much of a dork.

RED LETTER DAY!!!!

For my one or two readers, I'm super excited today. I now have my very own computer with actual Internet access!!!! I'm fully aware that my excitement over a laptop and the Internet is a bit ridiculous and outdated, but I don't care!

So now that I have regularly accessible personal Internet access, I might actually update my blog. Don't get too overly excited!

Just in case....

I don't think I have more than two readers, but I'm very happy to announce that I have just purchased a computer!!!! I am stepping into the 21st Century. Next thing you know, I'll be flying into the future in my DeLorean.

The Tale of the Dangerous Chopsticks

Or better yet, How to Date a Psycho.

I found this tidbit of news to be especially amusing because not only do these people not learn their lessons, but it proves a theory I have about men.

A Hong Kong woman who blinded her boyfriend in one eye in a fight six years ago has been jailed for jabbing a chopstick into his other eye, a newspaper reported on Wednesday. Last November, Po Shiu-fong, 58, accused long-time boyfriend Kwok Wai-ming, 49, of having an affair, the South China Morning Post reported. During the row, Po stabbed a plastic chopstick into his left eye, which she had already blinded six years ago when she poked it with her finger. "Po became hysterical when she saw the wound and mopped it with a towel. The pair then went to bed," the paper said. "The next morning they had another argument in which she grabbed a chopstick and stabbed Kwok's right eye," it said. Two days later, he sought medical treatment and filed a police report against Po, whom he had dated since 1993. The paper said he didn't report the attack six years ago, telling the court his silence was "a love sacrifice".

Ok, craziness. Not only has poor Kwok lost 10 to 20 percent of vision in his right eye, but now Po is serving six months in jail. Deservedly so, since she is nuts. But my question is that after the first eye poking incident six years ago, shouldn't Kwok have been thinking "I'm a grown man, why am I letting this woman jab her finger into my eyeball?" I guess he gave her a second chance which was nice of him.

But then the chopstick??!?!! Um, Hello Kwok! Run away from that crazy whore, do yourself a favor and hide your eyeballs. For some strange reason Po has something against you and your eyes. And for Heaven's sake don't go to bed with her! You can't guard your eyeballs from her in your sleep.

Here is my theory with men and dating. I don't mean to generalize, but doesn't it seem like guys date crazy girls who treat them like crap? And even when bodily harm is involved they seem to just forgive and forget that there are non-crazy girls out there?

Feeling Stressed?

The Spanish have found a creative way to deal with stress. Demolition!!

For two hours, 30 members of the public were allowed to run wild on an entire floor of the hotel. They were encouraged to smash windows, pulverise baths, tear down curtains and raze the reception area. The amateur demolition team was picked from more than 200 applicants by a panel of psychologists. The winners were deemed to be suffering from an unusually high level of anxiety, pressure or nervous tension. They include corporate executives, young people on low salaries, couples preparing for their wedding day and a working mother with young children who said that she desperately needed to "hit something".

Since there aren't any hotels asking me to come over and break stuff, I'm going to relieve my stress the old fashion way.... by going on a mini vacation. I'm heading up to Buffalo tonight to visit all the clan.

Have a Great 4th of July!!!
