Well, quick update. First: Happy Birthday to me! Second: I ship out Monday, but leave tomorrow (Sunday) early morning. So, I won't be back here for at least three months.

I say let them do as they please...as long as they don't b!tch about something they either didn't try or implemented wrong not working. Experience trumps all. We can give the new guys all the advice in the world, but if they have to take that first step. You can lead a horse to water, but you...

Since this is someone who you already made an impression on (a friendly one at that), I'd say you have no chance changing her perception of you now. That is, unless she already had feelings for you, kept them under wraps while she had a boyfriend and you didn't put yourself in the friendzone at...

As a guy who has, time and time again, tried to make texting work, I can tell you this: text as least as possible. Call (as weird as it feels as a guy who has grown up in the age of texting) as much as possible. Calling is just better. Being able to hear each other leaves no room for...

I choose to follow the advice of "don't put all your eggs in the same basket". Do what you love and no matter how much it pays, do something else that makes you money as well. Abundance mentality applies to much more than just women.

Feeling a need to update, so here goes. I leave in two weeks. Where to? Marine Corps boot camp in San Diego, California. So, what have I accomplished since the last update in July? Not as much as I would have liked. I'm calling up a driver's ed place tomorrow and I'm gonna pay for some private...

I've been looking for new songs to learn. Well, more like deciding which to learn next. I've been focusing on songs in Spanish mostly as I become more fluent in the language. Also, been practicing playing and singing at the same time even though I sing horribly :p

Computer technicians and network engineers/administrators are often on those "best paying jobs you can land with only an associates degree" lists, but the truth is in the entire field of IT, certifications and experience are very often held in much higher regard than having any degree. So, if...

So, as I was hanging out with some friends today, we meet up with one of their sisters. She's with the guy that they've known for some years now (I don't know how long) and whenever I've heard them talk about him, they've always referred to him as their brother (i.e so close to the family he's...

23 September 2015 Damn, it's been a while. Where do I even begin? Guess I'll start with an update on the situation in the last post. Story time! Old plate: After going ghost on her for a while, every once in a while I'd text her and eventually we got to a point where I asked her if she still...

Already partially fluent in Spanish, English is my native language. Originally, I wanted to become fluent in Spanish, Japanese, and Italian but recently there's been a growing interest in Arabic for me as well. I'll be well in my 40's before I can claim fluency in at least the original 3.

Being stuck on one single mindset won't get you laid. Each tool in your arsenal is meant to be used where it is most effective, not thrown about at every opportunity, hoping it works. There is a time and place where being direct will be most effective, and times when being indirect works best...

Other than starting bonuses (for the jobs nobody takes) and extra pay for additional languages you may speak, I hope you realize rank (technically, pay grade) determines your pay. And unless you happen to be a high-ranking officer, you're not exactly making bank. If you join the military, don't...

When you (not you specifically, since it seems I have to clarify every little thing for you) think of anything, you generally think of the cliche, stereotypical version of it. For dates, that is dinner (and sometimes a movie). "...up until the dawn of technology...". Ask any older guy what...

For most men (and women for that matter), up until the dawn of advanced tech, a date was almost synonymous with a conversation over dinner. Of course, there will always be out-of-the-box thinkers, but this is an undeniable fact. Your point? Anyone wanna chime in and tell me where I said this...

Eh, I don't think you were being an a$$hole, but (and some might disagree here) I do think you were being a little "trigger-happy" on nexting her (I'm assuming you nexted her after this). You basically canceled just because she asked a couple questions. You should have just said, "have a snack...

That's the way our world now works. "Accept everyone except those with a controversially different opinion or else". Get used to it.

Women are currently not allowed to serve in any special operations force. These women who earned the Ranger tab, that's all they earned. They're still not allowed to actually join the Ranger unit and deploy with them. Women, in all branches, can go through their branch's special operations...

What studies? Time and time again, heavy stubble has been shown to be the number one choice.

:crackup: I don't get on SS nearly as much as I used to, so today was the first time I saw this thread had a few more posts in it. I had a feeling you were referring to me when I saw the comment. Seems I'm still terrible at articulating my thoughts, so let me try to clarify a bit. First, I'm...
