12 quick guidelines to tilt the AvFB in your favor

1.  Always wear a belt when you wear pants.  Whether you really need it is irrelevant.  It just looks weird without.  Also, sadomasochism. 

2.  An Alpha always appears to be in control and calm.  Be like a duck-stay calm on the surface and paddle like hell underneath (Michael Caine).

3.  Honor thy promise.  If you have explicitly given your word, you have to, regardless how bad an idea it is. 

4.  A cat is never adorable.  They are dirty animals which serve no purpose.  The myth that cats are "cute" is propagated by pathetic faggots who are desperate to get chicks' attention.  Nothing more.

5.  Never copy homework.  If you didn't do it, so be it.  Corollary, if it's being graded, don't be dumb.

6.  The use of "Lol" should be restricted. 

7.  You do not clip your nails regularly.  You cut them when you notice that they are long.  That's it.  There is no reason why you need to dedicate a fixed time for such trivial matters.  It's not like we paint them...you don't right?

8.  In your pencil case, there should never be more than one highlighter, pens adding to three different colors or stuff like spare pencil lead or staple bullets.  Multiple highlighters are for chicks.  Real men can deal with underlines or circling using their pens.  Having pens that make up the colors of the rainbow is again, strictly for chicks.  Spare items like pencil lead and stapler bullets are what the secretaries should have.  And a male secretary is just gay and faggot-ish.

9.  Never call someone "bro".  We're in Singapore, not USA.  When this word is used as an opening, nine times out of ten, a favor request would ensue.  The other one time would be an extension required of already granted favor.  The word "bro" should remain exclusively in the gym. 

10.  There is only one way to read the papers.  To start with the sports section.

11.  Never use a hair dryer.  If our ancestors didn't put their hair near the fire to dry, we sure as hell can deal with wet hair.

12.  Guys do not wish each other good night.  That's just gay.

Shoot, Score, Smile.

Get-psyched songs list

For those who are familiar with the educational TV (CBS) series How I Met Your Mother, Barney Stinson (one of the greatest men ever to grace the surface of Earth), you might recall he mentioned that "a bro is always psyched" and goes on to cite a "Get pysched song list". 

One thing for sure, Barney is right about being psyched.  Being psyched is important to the success (or failure) of your endeavor.  You must be excited about what you are doing.  This is the basic thing that will motivate you to give all that you have.  

Choosing a "get-psyched song" is pretty easy. First of all, you must like it; duh.  Secondly, there must be a line where you get to emphasize.  This is to allow you to focus.  You channel all your energy to express yourself at that moment.  Finally, the song must always sound better when played louder.  Generals did not play the zither to boost the morale of their troops; they had loud drums to bolster the fighting spirit. 

It is important to know that over time, some songs may lose the ability to psych you up.  This is perfectly normal; you just need to find other songs.  Below are several really good quality "get-psyched" songs for your disposal.

Song:  Bosson's One in a Million.

Reason for inclusion: Quite simply, "I like it when it's difficult, I like it when it's hard".

Song:  SNSD's Cabi.

Reason for inclusion: Watch the MV.

Song:  Any USMC's cadence songs, especially this.  Honorable mention includes this.

Reason for inclusion:  USMC...duh.

Song: Enrique Iglesias' I Like It.

Reason for inclusion:  Self-explanatory.  No, really, listen to it...if you haven't heard it yet.

Song:  Plenty of Eminem's songs, not restricted to, but strongly recommended would include Not Afraid, When I'm Gone and Stan.

Reason for inclusion:  If anything, Eminem is the only rapper who is classy.

Song:  Cee Lo Green's Fuck You

Reason for inclusion:  Good amount of expletives (don't go pussy on me here) to pump you up with a pretty fine MV storyline.

Song:  Bon Jovi's You Give Love a Bad Name.

Reason for inclusion:  Just watch the LIVE performance.  (It is also included in Barney's list.)

Song:  Taio Cruz's Dynamite.

Reason for inclusion:  Every time it reaches the part of "I put my hands up in the air sometimes...", I somehow recall one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's pose.  Said picture can be found here.

Song:  3 Doors Down's When I'm Gone.

Reason for inclusion:  A tribute to the US armed forces.  If we had that in Singapore, conscription wouldn't seem that bad.  Maybe.

Enjoy finding what works and psyching yourself.  A good psych beats a lengthy amount of sleep.  Trust me on this.

The Pot of Curry, the Phlegm Down the Basin Logic and the 3 Decorums of the Art of Persuasion

Every Chinese New Year when my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins come over to my house, my mom would cook a particular dish; well, no prizes for guessing, curry chicken.  This may seem like a simple dish...bazinga, it is.  A simple dish indeed, but things aren't that simple. 

Since young, I have never been one to eat spicy food.  However, I do not exactly shun them.  My tolerance for spicy food...well, not that good, but I guess I can hold my ground as well.  The problem is, my mom's curry chicken is really really very spicy.  I swear to God, just one small portion of potato from that curry pot would make me wonder why I picked up that piece of food.  And there isn't even much sauce. 

Yet, I continue to pick up chicken wings after chicken wings from that pot.  Why?

This simple little dining "adventure" would benefit me greatly.  From it, I have realized the Art of Persuasion.  But before I delve into the Art of Persuasion, I must first explain the Phlegm Down the Basin Logic. 

Just a few weeks ago, I was having a flu.  Not a major one to knock me down, but still, I had plenty of phlegm for the basin.  Those vile viscous green slime required a certain volume of tap water (although more of water pressure) to be flushed down.  At that moment, something just went off in my brain.

In 1889, Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius introduced the term "activation energy" as the energy that must be overcome in order for a chemical reaction to happen.  To get the phlegm down the basin, we need a certain level of water pressure-the "activation energy".  As disgusting as it may sound, humans behave in the same manner. To get people to do things, we need a certain level of motivation.  There are two forms of motivation-internal and external.  I would refer to internal motivation as desire from within and external motivation as pressure; the latter being similar to the "water pressure" exerted by us onto the phlegm.

To successfully persuade people to do something, we must exert that "pressure" to help them overcome the "activation energy".  What the Art of Persuasion seeks to achieve, is to help provide this activation energy.

As I am learned in a previous lecture, Frederick Herzberg (1923-2000, American psychologist, best known for his hygiene and motivation theory), stated in a conference that "the more a person can do something, the more you can motivate him to do that something".  Drawing parallels from Herzberg, we can only persuade someone to do something if we show him that he can actually do that something.  This lies the first commandment of the Art of Persuasion.

Secondly, we must give a reason to do it.  No one does anything for free; hell would boil over.  Voluntary work?  Stop kidding.  They do it to fill up their self-esteem, to bolster their "character" and be a "good person".  If you want to persuade someone to help you with your cause, you need to let them know what is in for them, what benefits they will derive.  Quite apparently, the more rewards they can attain, the more likely they could be persuaded.
 
The final point to consider, is the amount of risk the person would have to expose himself to.  As mentioned in a previous article here, when we make choices, the very minimal we should be looking to accept, would be a decision that doesn't leave us in a worse-off condition.  This not only means you should try to provide insurance for the person you're trying to persuade, but also to allow him to understand what are the liabilities at stake.  The perils of any ventures should be spelled out explicitly for two core reasons: to build trust and to prevent misinformed reasoning of the safety of the endeavor-this is just responsible.  This is not detrimental to the second point we are trying to establish.  It is simply reasonable that in any ventures to gain, a certain amount of price/risk lies therein.

And so to sum up, the three Decorums of the Art of Persuasion:

1.  We can only persuade someone to do something if we show him that he can actually do that something.

2.  To persuade someone, you must offer him benefits.

3.  You must provide Risk-Security insurance to the one you're trying to persuade.  What does he have to lose by participating, and his back-up plans, if any?

Shoot, score, smile.

This channel or that?

I recall during my last semester break, there was two shows which I won’t mind spending my time re-watching (since I have nothing much to do) being aired at the same timing.  But hey, that’s not a problem, since I can always catch the one I choose to leave out later on the internet.

Of course, that is the issue.  Thanks to technological advances and globalization, we are now not just spoilt for choice…it has come to a point where sometimes, we do not have to make choices.

How is this bad?  Well, as with the case in point, I could had been contented and very happy watching just one show.  Sure, I would be a little dejected at missing out on the other.  Yet you see, it is this opportunity cost of another show, that will further raise the value of the show I would had chosen.

Now instead of enjoying just one selected option, I have to watched both.  I have become more demanding; instead of being able to bask in the joy of watching a show, I needed to watch both.  But am I truly happier after watching both?

No, definitely not.  Which is a little sad, because this little phenomenon is happening everywhere.  People are demanding more, but the satisfaction gained has not increased.  Global wealth have rose drastically over the last century, yet the happiness index level have not shown any significant improvement; ironically, there is a 30% increase in people suffering from depression.  Granted, compared to 100 years ago, people would actually dare to step up and admit they’re ailing from depression.  And of course, milder conditions (like having one of your chicken nuggets taken away by your classmate) would actually classify under the “depression”.

The point is, we’re now demanding more but not getting the same level of contentment.  Despite having more, we do not feel as accomplished as we should be.  What is wrong then?

Too often, we hanker after too many "accomplishments".  Minimalism is endangered.  Probably on brink of extinction.  Remember, you only need to seek what you want.  Also, you can only lose what you have got.  Be selective about what you want to capture, and then hold on to them tight.

Shoot, Score, Smile.

The BAM aftermath of TRI-PAIN

Pretty sure you would have noticed, that the two rails of the Hotness Ladder forms "TRI-PAIN".  Well, since "tri" is generally understood to be a numerical prefix meaning three and "pain" means damage(s)....yes, you guessed it, there are three main aspects of pain getting a girlfriend can, and undoubtedly, will bring.  This shall be known as the BAM aftermath, forming my final part of my Valentine's Day special to my readers.

BAM stands for Brain, Agenda and Money. 

Getting a girlfriend, will no doubt stretch your brain like never before.  As stated previously, the female species is a very confused, and thus, confusing species.  This can range from a wide activities from common daily occurrences to "important dates".  Whatever it is, the challenges to be surmounted are plenty.  There are other hazards as well.  Having a female companion can and will likely alter your thinking in a way that is adverse to your AvFB.  Assuming you aspire towards greatness, that would be something you would try to avoid.  

I firmly believe that any man must always have an agenda.  A purpose.  Having a girlfriend (unless that is your agenda, in which case, your AvFB is way off), will always derail you from your agenda.  Everyone has limited resources.  The opportunity cost of having a girlfriend, is that you inevitably have to devote some of your limited resources to her.  This will cost you of your agenda, be it in depth or breadth.     

The final hazard would be money.  Let's not kid ourselves.  The singular most undermining thing of the modern society is money.   Today's world would be non-functional without money.  The very basis of governance of daily life is now all about money.  And women, are the most effective reducing agents to a man's wallet. 

Now that I have explained the main menaces of getting into a relationship, it is important to note that I do not disapprove of engaging in one.  The issue is finding one who is worth it.  At this point, it is important to raise the issue that there is no love at first sight, only lust at first sight.  Valentine's Day is approaching, and in case you're a faggot and think that "love is in the air"....think again.

When you love someone, you would be open to making sacrifices (but not everything; sphere of life theorem; again, found in AvFB).  I don't think you would be doing that for a girl you just saw.  Many would point out the "hero saving damsel in distress" story; I concur otherwise.  Whether or not you choose to aid a "damsel in distress", depends on the amount of chivalry one has.  It is irrelevant to the amount of feelings you have towards the "damsel".  Chivalry however, can be affected by carnal factors.  A right categorization of the "damsel" will induce higher levels of gallantry.  There is an inherent difference between "making sacrifices" and chivalry.  The former will involve consideration while the latter is more of a reflex action.

Well, my dear readers, I hope that one day you would find someone worthwhile to suffer the BAM aftermath.  When you do, bear in mind The Laws of 22.  In the mean time, allow me to share two facts about Valentine's Day:

1.  Saint Valentine was a 3rd century Roman priest, who was stoned.  Not sure if it was fortunate or otherwise, but he survived the stoning and had to be beheaded eventually.

2.  The iconic heart shape isn't based on an actual human heart, but rather, based on what a woman's butt looks like when she bends over.

Have a great Valentine's Day ahead.

Completing The Hotness Ladder, Part II-PAIN

As promised to a gentleman, it is my obligation to release the second part of my Hotness Ladder as a Valentine's Day special.  However, after much deliberation, I have decided to publish this much earlier due to three reasons; the first being I have two treasured friends whose birthdays fall on this exact date.  The next is in consideration for those who are still single not by choice and seeking a girl.  Hopefully, or rather with great amount of certainty, the comprehension of the Hotness Ladder will help in homing in onto a target.  The final reason, will, if all goes well, unravel itself on Valetine's Day itself.

While TRI is an efficient way of grading a female's physical appearance, a ladder always has two rails; so does my Hotness Ladder.  It is also important to note that it is not complete to decide if a girl is hot simply based on her looks.  

What?  No, you didn't hear me wrong.  In mathematical equation terminology: hotness of girl=looks+character.  We are able to analyze a lady's looks using TRI; without further ado, allow me to induct PAIN to examine a lady's character.  As such, the Hotness Ladder:

 

In Biology, we explicitly know that humans have 46 chromosomes in each cell, split into 23 pairs.  Similarly, the "hotness cell", has a pair of two segments-the TRI segement and the PAIN segment.  For different individuals, these segments will exert varying degrees of influence.  For the sake of demonstration, I have simply left them to be of equal length, representing equal importance.   

PAIN, is an acronym for Poise, Activities, Intellect and Nice.  

It is important for a lady to display poise.  How do you think Arnold Schwarzenegger would look if he walked around with his head down and crestfallen?  Well, still pretty darn good, but not as much.  For a prime example, watch Miss Congeniality.  The first one, not the sequels.  A lady with poise, will exude a special attractiveness which cannot be copied.  The kind of confidence radiating from within can never be duplicated by nor onto another person.  It adds a fine touch of exquisite to the girl, which will leave others wanting.

The activities a lady engage in (forming her sphere of life) impact how hot she is as well.  For instance, you may have a penchant for athletic girls.  This point should be pretty straightforward, the issue is getting people to agree what activities should be considered plus points for hotness.  The reality is that everyone have different preferences.

Have you ever tried talking to really dumb girls (no, not bimbos, 'cuz she for hell wasn't pretty)?  I have.  I have once spoken to a girl who asked me why I rounded up my budgets.  I was pretty sure a few blood capillaries burst.  Hello lady, if you have money to spare, I don't think that's a problem, but if I exceed the budget, I'm certain I would be royally screwed.  Now, I'm not saying a higher intellect naturally translates to being hotter.  Rather, girls that match your intellect level (give and take some variance, depending on personal tolerance) are more likely to be able to connect with you and thus, appear hot.  Idiotic girls, unless you're looking just for an easy scam, are definite turn-offs.

The final aspect-nice.  Again, this is a pretty straightforward point but it has to be raised.  Girls who are nice are hotter than obnoxious bitches who simply think the world revolve around them.  Of course, efforts to discern genuine from facades must not slacken. 

And there we have it, the PAIN rail of our Hotness Ladder.  

In the ideal world, the PAIN and TRI segments will conjugate and form one nice rung on the Hotness Ladder.  Unfortunately, that may or may not be the case.  When the two segments do not align, we do not exactly get a rung on the ladder.  How shall we then, decide how high or low the rung should be?  Obviously, balancing on the higher segment is going to be more risky.  Should it collapse, you take a harder fall.  But if you were to stand on the lower segment, you cannot reach as high.   Well, this I would leave it to you, my readers.  Just remember that fortune favors the brave and if you are courageous, the force would be with you.

Shoot, score, smile.

Dealing with obsessions

One of the reasons why I was underweight throughout (with exception to my university years) my schooling perpetuation is that I was crazily addicted to computer gaming.  It is not something I am proud of, but I used to spend hours after hours playing computer games.  I could spend an entire weekend doing nothing but plough away in front of my computer for pixelated images.  

I was obsessed.  

Obsessions are very dangerous.  

Firstly, they distort your sphere of life (as mentioned in AvFB) to the point where you will dedicate excessive attention and resources to that obsession.  This will cause you to neglect your other prospects.  This poses two issues.  To begin, you become one-dimensional.  Secondly, I'm sure everyone has heard of "do not put all your eggs in one basket".  If one day your this facet of life comes crashing down (has happened to me before), you would end up feeling lost.  An FBI agent always has a spare gun and ammunition; apply the same logic.

Obsessions can become totally pointless.  Obsessions often leave us very short-sighted and unable to make sound long-run decisions.  When we become obsessed, in the excitement to pursue the lofty goal, we could possibly forget the real intent of doing so.  

I'm happy to announce that starting from today, I shall quit an obsession that I have, for the past year, been ensnared into.  To be honest, there is nothing much to be learned from today's entry.  However, I hope this will serve as a reminder to check oneself for obsessions and rescue thyself from the pits of hell before it is otherwise too late.

AvFB Testament 1

It is never wrong for a guy to be checking out a girl.  When an attractive (of varying degree) female gets into the sight zone of a male, natural biochemical processes occur, due to the presence of a particular hormone starting with the letter T.  There is thus nothing to be shameful about; as a result, nothing to hide.  When checking out chicks, discretion can be exercised, but should never become a priority and when exposed, said guy should gracefully, if not proudly concede that he had been looking at a girl.

A guy should not spend more than 30 minutes contemplating if he should make a product acquisition; this can range from a gift for a fellow male friend, clothes, sneakers.  This is because the level of estrogen is directly proportionate to the time spent on deciding whether to buy something.  As outlined here, there are three basic outcomes.  As long as the product does not fall into Class 3, then it is an acceptable choice to pick up.  There is one exception to the rule, which is making a product acquisition for a specimen from the opposite (ie. female) gender.  This is because females are generally confusing (as they are largely confused most of the time) in nature.

One word text replies are perfectly fine.  It isn't rude to express a disinterest. 

An alpha man do not attempt to create poems.  He either manages to craft a nice literature piece at first try or doesn't.  For budding students, you can always try the classic "Roses are red, Violets are blue".  While many discard this as "lame", "stupid" and "un-original", it does have a positively corny touch to it, and if you can lace your next two lines succinctly and with some humour, then it can be pulled off.

Would I date a taller girl.

This is not something I am proud of, but there was a time when I was not so tall.  As God has it, my growth spurt hit me much later than the average male.  At that age, I felt that there was nothing wrong with dating a taller girl; but if truth were to be told, it was because I won't have much alternatives otherwise.

While I am not considered tall, I am at least of average male height, which safely places me at a vertically more favourable standing against the majority of the female population.  Last year, an observation (that was extremely ego-pleasuring) triggered me to re-consider this preposition.

The fundamental structure of a couple, dictates that one would be the dominant (as a result, giving rise to the role of a butch).  Traditionally, the male is the ascendant.  Henceforth lies the social stigma of a male having to be taller than the female (tallness and alpha-ness have a direct relation, read the next paragraph).

But would you really look like a faggot dating a girl taller than you?  Undeniably, yes, you would look like a colossal asshat.  Why do you think Robin is shorter than Batman?  Why is Superman portrayed to be so tall?  When Venom entered to become Spiderman's fiercest enemy, guess who's the taller "spider"?  You see, when we put two people side by side, the very first comparison that strikes the human mind would be the height.  The taller person would always appear to be the one assertive (even if not the case); and if you are not the one being assertive, then you have got to be the beta personnel, languishing you to the faggotry end.

However (there is always a however in any circumstances), is this really true?  Short men are able to command respect and end up flaunting a great deal of alpha-ness.  There are ample examples from history.  Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the finest military commanders the world has seen, was short.  Adolf Hitler had to stand on a raised platform to give his speeches, but he nearly seized the entire Europe as his own.  Benito Mussolini (the Italian leader during WWII) was one inch shorter than Hitler.  Evidently, just because you look short doesn't mean you are not capable.  

Now let's look at this problem from another angle; there's right, the female perspective.  As much as men expects to be taller than their significant other, women would expect the same.  So if you could make her conclude otherwise, then it can be considered a victory and a demonstration of mastery.  Seriously, when you see a guy with a taller chick (we make the basic assumption that the chick is hot), one would always wonder how did the guy pulled it off and snagged that chick.

As established, if you date a taller girl, you gain additional points when we discuss expressing alpha-ness from within but gets knocked off a few rungs on the image outlook.  This leaves this issue a very delicate one.  However, it must also be noted that radiating greatness from the depths can create an external form of majest.  After all, Spiderman, despite a smaller stature, defeated Venom.

So yes, I would.  It is interesting to note that I continue to await the day when I get enchanted by a girl taller than me (this suffices to say that as mentioned in an earlier article, all of the four Category 4 girls are shorter or of negligible height disparity).

Alpha-ness Vs Faggotry Balance (AvFB)

While my blog may seem to be unassociated ramblings to the common eye, astute readers would have caught on the true intent of the blog.  The bedrock for this site, is to celebrate self-discovery and hopefully, self-improvement.  

One of my favourite quotes of all-time would be one that I picked up during my mandatory military service-Everyday, Stronger, Better, Faster.  I personally find this quote (regardless of the song), to be a truly exceptional one. 

Today, I shall introduce the Alpha-ness Vs Faggotry Balance (AvFB in short).

 

The second picture depicts what happens on the AvFB when someone becomes more "alpha".  The fulcrum of the balance moves away, but it doesn't make you less "alpha".  In this scale, the length of the distance between the category (alpha-ness/faggotry) represents the volume of the said category you possess.  Why?  Well, this is simply because, if you are more alpha, you would actually need to do less to impress   The harsh reality is that many a time, people are influenced by reputations.  If you have a strong image, you do not actually have to do as much to create the same impact.  Metaphorically to the scale, you will need to exert a lesser force.  Scientifically, it means the fulcrum has to be further away.

With each passing day, we should seek to move the fulcrum in the favourable direction such that we become more "alpha".  There are two ways to go about doing this:

1.  Increasing alpha-ness.

2.  Decreasing the amount of faggotry. 

Without further ado, allow me to share one method of acquiring alpha-ness and one manner to reduce faggotry.

Gentlemen (and ladies, if there happen to be any reading), always remember this: You can have 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one.  Looking past the crude-ness, you would realize the immense wisdom in this statement.  You see, as a man, you should never be flustered and bothered because of a girl.  A girl, should never form the center of a universe where you, revolve around.  More accurately, no one should; but then, there is an underlying connotation as to where I stated a female.  One should never cement his life around another.  Not even married couples.

Allow me to explain for the part about married couples.  You see, I believe in the Sphere of life time-space continuum theorem. Everyone has a sphere of life.  At different points of time, this sphere can stretch or pull back towards its centroid/core.  When I was 17, DotA formed a big part of my life.  The sphere extended extensively (pardon me for the lack of variety in vocabulary) in relation to the  “DotA” aspect.  However, as I grew up, the sphere shrunk with regards to this nature.  The “DotA” radius decreased dramatically while the sphere grew to embrace other stuff, more befitting of the testosterone in my body.  As couples, you and her spheres will overlap and intertwined.  Your sphere doesn't revolve around hers, but rather, together with hers.

Today, I shall also expose the biggest faggotry of modern times-Facebook.  OK, to be fair there is nothing wrong with Facebook itself.  It is how people, or rather, the male population is using it now.  By virtue of their gender, I would not inquire into how females use Facebook.  However, if you have a Y-chromosome, then I propose that certain rules must be enforced to prevent you from looking like a faggot.  I have plenty of examples:

Exhibit A-a falling star; at least i fall alone

What is wrong:  Plenty.  Firstly, men do not post emo nonsense on Facebook.  Secondly, unless you are, don't type like a first-grader.  Hell, I knew to capitalize my letters when I was in kindergarten.  Salvation point-he is still quite young.

Exhibit B-I spend the last 1/2 hours commenting on facebook posts and stuffs.  Behold the new MSN chat lulz!

What is wrong:  Much more.  The act of spending 30mins (at a go) doing what he did should already have you condemned.  Posting about it, ala being proud of it, suggests this person is a total faggot.  Again, poor command of English being demonstrated here.  Not much salvation for this guy, he's is 21 already. 

Exhibit C-Happy 27th birthday to Darren Fletcher! Hope you regain form for the rest of the season!

Exhibit C-Happy birthda Dimitar Berbatov! Blah blah blah blah(it's really insanely long). Keep on banging in those goals, you Bulgarian beauty!

What is wrong:  Need I say?  Wishing players from your favourite soccer team happy birthday is just acting like a stupid teenage fan-girl going crazy over boy-bands.  This is a surefire way to score 10/10 for faggotry.  And really, "Bulgarian beauty" for a man from a man?  Verdict: totally gay. 

I feel obliged to add this.  Liking your own posts and using your status (unless is within comments) to give live feeds of an on-going match are absolute no-nos as well.

I'm pretty certain that you do not want to look like a total dumbass like the above exhibits.  This is why, you must practice the Kerb Rule before making any post on Facebook  The Kerb rule is a very simple rule; yes, you guessed it, it's the same as the one your mom taught you when crossing roads.   In Facebook fashion, it would be stop before you hit the enter key, look at what you have written, look at it again, then decide if you really want to hit the post key.  Remember, there is just a very fine line between posting like a retard and being "social"(although there is a problem to this as well, to be covered in The Solo Theorem at a later date).  Unfortunately (for them), many people have fallen under the imbecile grouping.

Why 2010 was awesome.

In a few days, we will usher in the Year of the Rabbit.  Looking back, the Year of the Snake and 2010, was pretty life-changing for me.

On 19th July 2010, I start to believe, for the first time, with regards to pertaining a particular issue.  On 30th August 2010, I exercised an option that I never had before.  On 22 December 2010, I made my final resolution and conclusion.  On 5 January 2011, I re-affirmed the fact that I'm awesome to kick-start the new year.  A few days later, I discovered my 4th Category 4 (according to the TRI) girl.

There are many more instances, but the point is, although we are born into the world only once, I would say, I was re-awoken in the second half of 2010.  You see, sometimes in life, you stumble along.  However, you need to discover yourself.  At certain times in life, you will suddenly come to realize stuff, and that is when you re-invent yourself.
