Online Dating

After months of looking, trying and being active, I'm starting to wonder, if people have been wrong all this time, wrong about men being shallow and horny bastards. Cause, unless there is something specifically wrong with me, I think its the other way around.

Now before you start sending hate mails, fax mail bombs or something, let me explain my problem.

You see, I've been a member on a total of five different dating site, three of them I am still a member on, as it was just to expensive to keep the other two. Now the three I am still a member on, are all free of charge, one you can pay, but thats only to get the adds away, and so far, I haven't found a need for that, as they are so far very non-annoying.

On these three thou, I've been an active member for many months, only resently, have I lost interest, and after telling you my theory, I think you'll see why I've lost interest.

As a ”horny and shallow male individual” I of course have made contact with several women that has peaked my interest in some fashion. I have always tried my best to be friendly, kind and not intrusive in my first message, which is usually just a longer hello.

On all three sites, I've had a total of... one... person per site, that has written me back. One... out of probably 40-50 women from the ages of 24 to 46.

The first woman to answer me did so after I had added something on my presentation, stating that if I had written to who ever looked at my profile, that they would please wright back, if only to say; Thanks for showing interest, but no thank you.

The woman that answered me said pretty much what I had hoped for when it comes to being turned down, with an added note on the fact that I had also written that now that I can finally grow a beard, if a bit thin, I would never shave it, and she told me to hold on to it, which made me happy.

The other two, simply thanked me, and wished me a good day, or happy hunting or something. But almost all the others, never even bothered to say ”no thank you”.

Now I cant be sure that all of them even read my message, or have since I wrote them even been online ever again, but out of the three dating sites, two of them, as far as I can remember, have the added bonus, of showing you who have been to see your profile, and at what date and even time. So when I see that someone I have written to, have been to my profile, and then not said anything, left a message or even given me a ”poke” or what ever it is they have, you get a bit blue, as I'm sure you can all agree.

So my question, ladies, is are you this shallow? Or is it just something about me, my picture alone or something that turns women away? Or have I just hit the lowest on the luck scale?

If women really are this shallow, to turn down a guy without even saying a single word to him, then I wonder, if its not women that are the shallow and insensitive people on this planet. Cause I can promise you, that a guy would at least tell you if they share your interest or not, granted, some can be real assholes about it, but generally speaking, I think most try their best to let you down gently.

But what hurts even more in this instance, is not words, but silence.

I read an article awhile back that made me think of all these things, that was about women and their dating habits, and who they took interest in. It was an article written by a woman too, so I do believe it had some merit, and as far as I could tell, it sounded logical.

Basically, it said that woman are drawn to confident and happy men (those that look for men at least), and they look past those that don’t fit those criteria.

The problem how ever, is that those that have confidence (in general) or are happy, are likely to be in a relationship already, and that is where their confidence and happiness comes from.

And that men who seem less confident and/or happy, are the ones that just wants someone to love, and to love them, but as women want someone that has qualities they cant get without this, are being overlooked, there are a shitload of men out there, that could possibly be the best guys in the world, but haven't the slightest chance, as women find them unattractive or even down right invisible.

So ladies, please, the next time you are at the pub, online or where ever, and you are looking for Prince Charming, remember that he is probably the guy that doesn't look like Prince Charming, as he wont become it, until you give him love and affection, and he can give the same back.

Look for the lonely guy, the one that don’t seem to smile as much, that seem to not really know why he is even there. Talk to him, get to know him... you never know, he might just be the best thing for you, if not, then at least you've made someone happy, and you might just have made a good friend... or you know, you've gotten laid if you wanna take it that far. What ever you go with, is fine by most guys.

But most importantly, be honest, open and for fuck sake, don’t give us hints... we cant see them until its way WAY to late.

City Vista Screenie

As I've told you before, I bought a game on the Steam Christmas Sale called Cities XL Platinum. It's a rather slow moving game, but then, I think all city building games are, and its not easy, as building a city probably isn't in real life either.
But I was right when I said it was 10 times better then SimCity.
Some aspects are easier, others are harder. Some details are better, others are worse, but all and all, much better game.

This is the city I am currently working on. KinCity.

The screen shot only shows 2 of the 3 "areas" I am building, what you are seeing is the farmers area, hence the large fields in various colors, and then next to that, the current city center. What you are not seeing is the industrial area that is to the north, on the edge of the map, to avoid having air pollution taint too much of my beloved city.

We'll see how the development of this city comes along, and seeing as I dont play it all that much, dont expect that many screenies of it.

Self Inflicted Anger

Today was a really bad day.

It all started with me having to use my bike to go get some stuff to put in my fridge. To go shopping for essentials in other words. Buy Food .. for those needing short sentences. *wink wink*
The bike ride was horrible, as I had miscalculated the tempature of the outside world, and thus I was underdressed and after less then a forth of the way to the store, it felt like I had sheets of ice on every part of my body that was poorly covered, specificly my neck and most of my face. My hat didn't do a very good job either as the wind went through it rather easy.

Anyway, once I had gotten to the store, locked my bike and was about to enter the store... I realized I had forgotten to bring my wallet...

This made me a bit angry as you can imagen, at myself ofcourse, as it was my fault.
But what then happened, is that I started to remember every little thing that upset me, had made me angry, had hurt me or in any other way made me feel anything but happy.
This went on until I was biking home from work... almost 10 hours later.

In other words, I have been a very VERY negative person for 10 hours straight.
Most of my negative thoughts have revolved around one specific person too, which hasn't been easy. This person hasn't made me angry so much as hurt, and after I got hurt, I got angry, and thats my own fault for letting it get to me in such ways. But 75% of my anger thoughts, have been about this person. Everything from imagening calm, civilized discussions to straight up murder...


Well, enough for negative things... I've bought a second game on Steam Sale, Just Cause 2.. I'll install it later.

Lizard Emperor

New planets, new quests, new talent trees and the death of a big lizard.
Lot of new shit going on in Star Wars the Old Republic.

So lets start from the top ey?
I bought the new expansion to the game called: Shadow of Revan. It all about Revan going mental and trying to kill the Emperor... the Emperor is the embodiment of the Dark Side of the Force, and he is currently slumbering.
If he were to wake up thou, the Empire is not going to be happy... You see, its not just the Republic and their Jedi that want to keep the Emperor from waking, but the Sith too, the one's who are suppose to be on the Emperors side.
For if the Emperor wakes... he will consume all life in the galaxy. Literally ALL life, killing everyone and everything. Neither side wants that.

So my job, as a Dark Council Lord, is to stop Revan and his Revanite followers from achievning this goal... but Revan is powerful. Possibly THE most powerful force user in the known galaxy after the Emperor.
And when the fight against Revan came down, I was able to choose to do it SOLO or OP. Meaning, go on with the solo questing, or get in an Operation/raid and taking him down with other players.
I picked solo, couse that sounded fun.
After some short scenes and talking, I was standing next to Darth Marr and Grand Jedi Master Satele Shan and a few other allies from both side that had been around the whole quest line, and was about to beat the living snot out of Revan.
It might have been the longest fight I've ever been in during my time in SW ToR... ever...
I wont tell you how it ended (we won ofc), I'll leave that to another time. But I can tell you... that its no doubt about what the next expansion or Operation is going to be about. I'm hoping they'll make it into a whole expansion thou.

Anyway.. during my travels and various missions, I had to kill a beast with an unusual name.

She Who Greedily Devours is one big lizard.

A humanoid bird species asked me to check on some scouts. They were dead. After some investigation, I was asked to end the life of the thing up in the screen shot.
Was an easy fight cause.. well... I'm one of the most powerful Sith in the GALAXY!!!!!!!!!11!!11....

Anyway... right! The talent tree... they changed it... it better now, easier, and makes for early game play to make the player feel and be a little more powerful... too many details to go into here, so if you are interested, you can find details about it here.

ÜBER SUNDAY Edition

I never put up a screen shot last week. And noone seemed to notice... How many people actually look on my blog? Or more importantly... how many people give a shit about the sunday screen shot editions?

Anyway, I haven't posted anything else this week either, so to say "I'm sorry" to those that actually look forward to my sunday editions, I give you something special... for the rest of you... you can do what you want with this ÜBER SUNDAY.

What I have done, is a simple video, I recorded a special mission, one that I can only do once per day (on each character thou), and for just one week, after that, its gone for another 3 weeks or so, who knows, might be gone longer.
Its a bounty, from the Bounty Brokers. And my awesome Sith Inquisitor Tena'he, takes the job, and goes hunting on Dromund Kaas.

Anyway.. here's the link to the youtube video.

I hope you'll enjoy it, even thou its a bit laggy, bit long winded, and has some boring parts in it. Tried to make up for it with some added humorous texts along the way.

Transfer Door

When transfering data from one computer to another, you need one of three things. A cord to connect the computers, or devices, an external device like a USB memory stick or an external harddrive, or you need the computers/devices to be equiped with wifi technological hardware.
But when transfering data from one brain to another, all you have to do, is open you mouth, push out some air that produces vibrations, and then point it in the general direction of the owner of the brain, and you are done.
Our brains are some seriously awesome computers, with some seriously cool tech.

The entryphone at the front door to my apartment complex, is still on the fritz it seems. Wouldn't let me in after I had gone out with some trash this morning. Seems it might be fixed now, but I dont think I'll take any chances, and just try and jam something in the door so it stays open.
First time I had this issue, was last night, just came home from work, but spent a while outside, as I and some other guy whose language skills were below average waited outside in the cold.
We've been without an entryphone for weeks, so when they finally install a brand new one, with better tech (so they said anyway), I was quite happy, I've missed having a locked gate.
But when it never fuckin works, and can only be opened from the inside, you kind of loose it and go slightly mental.
The entryphone works in 3 different ways. You can call someone in the house, obviously, and then have them let you in or you can use the "droplett" you have on your keychain, and as a last resort, you can just use your key to unlock the door and go inside.
None of these 3 ways worked last night, or this morning.
My block host called about half an hour ago and told me it seems to be fixed now... so when I get back from the gym, its going to be interesting to see if I have to call my neighbour and ask them to come down and open the door again.
