I found this awesome site!

So an asshole friend of mine sent me a link. And now I’m sharing it with you because… well because I don’t want to be the only one that had to suffer watching it 😉

Warning & disclaimer

First… this is NOT SAFE FOR WORK! (thanks Ed!)

I don’t want to spoil the fun, but I also don’t want to piss people off that much; so I’ll ask you to do these three things before visiting the site.

  1. Use Firefox
  2. If you’re viewing this blog entry in a browser (and not an RSS reader), open a new browser window. Yes, a new window and not a tab.
  3. When you’re viewing the site, you can switch back to this blog entry’s window (or RSS viewer)

You don’t have to follow them, but trust me, if you know what’s good for you, you’ll do it. Don’t worry, I’ll explain everything in a bit.

Ready? Cool…

Spring cleaning

The most common usage of spring cleaning refers to the yearly act of cleaning a house from top to bottom which would take place in the first warm days of the year typically in spring, hence the name. However it has also come to be synonymous with any kind of heavy duty cleaning or organizing enterprise. A person who gets their affairs in order before an audit or inspection could be said to be doing some spring cleaning.

So I guess for lack of a better term, that’s exactly what I’m trying to do with my room… and failing miserably at it.

Not really “failing,” but I’m the type of guy who likes to get things done quickly once started – and for some reason, I can’t seem to get a good flow in reorganizing shit beyond my main desk.

Still, it’s better than nothing.

Thoughts on suicide

I find it unnerving that I had the unfortunate luck of hearing about two suicides that are at most 2 degrees of separation apart from myself. If I had to count the number of suicides that are of similar degrees apart since college… it would be 6. How fucked up is that huh?

We all have read about the first in the papers, but a college bench-mate of ours had also killed herself a few days or weeks before.

I was personally disturbed because the latter incident (which is actually former if you do it chronologically) had literally jolted me to re-evaluate a position I had always stood by [vehemently] when it came to the subject. I had only mentioned it in passing on a useless survey/meme post I had 4 years ago, but I thought I might as well just put it out there for posterity’s sake.

Again, my only intention in this post is to explain the way I feel. I’m in no way saying that people should share the same sentiments. And of course, its never my intention to insult the memory of the departed – especially to those [common friends] who care about them more than I do. So take everything I say here with a grain of salt… and at best, just consider it as “understanding how Carlo feels about suicide” 😉 Now if you feel that you will still be angered despite the disclaimers I said, then just stop reading now. But who are we kidding… we all know a warning like that will just make everyone want to read the post even more 😉

Seriously though, I’m not here to pick a fight; if you’re planning to comment with the purpose to pick a fight or tell me off, I’m already warning you that I will either not respond to your comment, or delete it. But if you just want to discuss and argue rationally, then feel free to tell me what you think.

If the women only tried…

Sexes split over one night stands

Many women are left unhappy in the aftermath of casual sexual encounters, a survey has revealed.

Thank God for an article like this, I’ll finally get to say something I’ve come to realize – that I could never bring up out of the blue.

While the article obviously focuses on one-night-stands, I personally have noticed something significant and worthy of mention as far as heterosexual relationships go. I encompasses most of (if not all) relationship issues a woman may experience – that even the more complex/controversial issues, like in the article, are merely subsets.

I tried synthesizing different opinions/perspectives of various women I’ve had deep conversations with regarding relationship issues they were having. I would probably say this would be a great follow up to a post I wrote 3 years ago, which a friend of mine reminded me of because of its “accuracy” (she was a woman by the way so shut up)

Before I proceed, I feel compelled to remind everyone that while there may be exceptions, we all know most issues, or at least issues being blown out of proportion, are almost always the woman’s doing. If you’re a woman and disagree, feel free to drop me a line and counter this claim. But before going off your handle, at least try to hear why I think this is the case.
