Do you drink? I live in DFW. We can grab a drink sometime if you like dives.

Airborne is the the epitome of the early 90s and you should all be ashamed of yourselves for not having mentioned it sooner.

Edit: I forgot it also had early Jack Black and Jacob Vargas. The world needs more Jacob Vargas.

Sorry but Brink, Smart House or any Disney channel movie is more 90s.

Yeah. Okay. So apparently I ended up teaching them about game, broke poo poo down, and how to dress and what looked good and whatnot and what would work with their body type and colors. Apparently I was the master.

But fun day! Watching Crazy Stupid Love, good movie.

I had the CineD draft man, I thought it was gonna be my turn so I raced home! Nah, we just went out shopping at some outlet place, and I like told them what looked good on them and their bodies and what was a bit more classy, about material, color matching, the impression something would give, good poo poo. They're like "Wait, you know what the gently caress you're doing." Went to uptown Dallas for a bit and broke down what was going to happen from guys hitting on girls and what they thought and was mostly right. "That guy is talking to her, she's seemingly being nice to him and listening but there's no interest and she's going to do her thing, turn around, and he's going to linger too long and move on." and BAM it happened. The club is not my environment. I am awkward as poo poo there in terms of being loose and dancing and just doing poo poo.

Even weeks ago they were like "Wait, so we were talking to them and they were buying into us the whole night, why didn't they go for it?" and I'm like "Dude, we bought them drinks, they ain't gonna refuse, and we were just having fun and were their entertainment. They're not going to hook up with you cause we're all mostly strangers, you dudes are like 6'4 and built and while fun and decent dudes they've got to go a long way to your place and probably didn't intend to hook up and were reserved. The whole time you were entertaining them while they didn't offer much back even though we all joked and poo poo." They were chatting them up and the game plan was supposed to be that I was an oil sheikh from Dubai. I came in late because I was hungry and ate at a pizza truck. I thought they were joking about this plan so when they asked what I did I just told them I worked at my job with one of them and pretty much just being honest and genuine. Apparently they were serious about selling me as an oil sheikh. Even afterwards we met up with some co workers and they said "So what would you tell him?" and the other dude who didn't go out with us was like "I'd sell him as an oil sheikh, he can ball like one." and they're like "EXACTLY! He thought we were joking." and the girl there is like "Who gives a poo poo, you're just hooking up for the night, not marrying each other. Do whatever." "That's, like being noble dude, but that's not how this works." "The sooner you get into the game, the more you learn how this works and get what you want." blah blah.

Haha. I was in uptown too with some friends, actually. Hit up Katy trail and then 6th and Kung fu. I'll PM you and we can do a thing sometime. Oil sheik.

Four days before I move 600 miles, the apartment complex calls to say "Hey we never got those pay stubs and we need two for you to get your keys." Never mind that I sent them a month ago and there was a whole month for them to tell me poo poo was hosed up so I could fix it, they need them four days before I pack up and leave. ALso my bank statement doesn't cut it despite having 4+ grand saved up for this for job hunting, I need pay stubs from a job in another state that I will have quit to move down there. I'm going to lie and tell them I'm working from home temporarily I guess?

I'm having a drink with my ex tonight because I make bad decisions. I survived the two months we agreed not to talk to each other and she was the one who contacted me and asked if we could meet in person to catch up. So that at least feels like a small victory.

You'll know how well it went by the number of drunk tweets you see this evening.

In healthier news: camping rules. Camping alone rules. Skinnydipping rules. Skinnydipping with salamanders rules.

I know a lot of the stuff I'm buying are "buy it once, use it for 10 years" kinds of things, but this initial investment in all my camping gear is killing my wallet.

Also: This thread has too many posts and I just skipped about 600. Your lists rules and all but I gots poo poo to do here.

I just find it really hard to believe that there was no way out of that house. If nothing else that is a serious loving fire hazard. I'm having a hell of a time wrapping my mind around this and also the fact that you just couldn't figure out any way to get out even if this was some kind of caged in house. It never occurred to you to call the police or something? Under what pretense did you allow them to just leave you in a strange house that is apparently some sort of jail? I have so many questions about how all this happened.

He's not gonna call the cops because that would piss off his gf when the cops break her door down.

Hey gen chat. What's poppin.

I was watching Clockers the other night cuz it was expiring on instant. I was struck by how much signage Spike had made just for the movie. Nelson Mandela Homes in front of some projects, a ton of pointedly designed billboards, it's almost like Beatty's Dick Tracy how he built this weird and vivid alternate world in a gritty Brooklyn movie. I also thought how he would never get to make that scale of movie now - its budget was 25 million! That's like 5 Spike Lee features today, and it was just a simple story about a drug dealer and a detective.

Welcome back, friendo. :yum:

I love my best friend dearly, he's incredibly important to me and I would do pretty much anything for him, which is what makes having to tell him not to cheat his girlfriend with a mutual friend of ours who he hasn't seen in a while all the more frustrating.

The worst part is that it's almost certainly partially driven by my jealousy that he has much better luck with women than I do.

Ive only seen her tv specials but I dont think any of them could be described as preachy? What did she talk about?

She came out wearing a support Texas women shirt and 90% of her set was about abortion and religion. She went on for a good 10 minutes about how republicans are slowly picking away at abortion rights and stuff. It was bad. Whitney Cummings was way better.
