Nice Ride: The Hydrogen Gremlin

"Within two years, the team was testing their hydrogen-powered Gremlin on a chassis dynamometer -- a sort of treadmill for cars. Though the tests showed that the car could only travel 110 kilometers before it needed to be refueled, they also revealed that the car emitted slightly cleaner air than it took in. In other words, driving the car actually reversed pollution. "

'Are You Using Anything?'

"Herein lies the problem: RISUG may be too effective. Pharmaceutical companies are pouring millions into research on male contraceptives, particularly the male version of the pill, but none is interested in RISUG. 'What does a hormonal contraceptive [like the Pill] represent to a pharmaceutical company?' Weiss asks. 'Recurrent sales. It's like women's birth control. They sell it over and over and over again. They want something they can make an ongoing profit from. Business is business.'"

NOYB

I was going to post this long post on the subject. But once again, I've calmed down and my inherent lazyiness has kicked in. So I'll sum it up in three sentences. It's never anyones business how many people you've slept with. What's more important is if they are clean or not. Unless you're the first, it doesn't fucking matter.

Hold and Blow

As some of you might know, I've been sick this last week. My ears have yet to recover. So after making a trip to Pahrump and back I have to pop me ears. I hold my nose, close my mouth, and blow. My ear makes this "squeeeeeee" noise and then I get really dizzy and fall over onto my car. The noise wasn't internal. I heard it not just felt it inside my head. It was a weird experience I thought I would share.

    Top Ten Stories of Revenge

    While sitting at the traffic lights I heard a bang from the back of the car. But when I looked in the rear view mirror there was nothing to see until a man bounced on the bonnet of my car and into the road in front. When I got out I saw his bicycle and the back of my car and him laying in front of the car groaning. He had cycled into the back of my stationary car in broad daylight. As he got up none the worse for his stunt I asked how he was going to pay for the new dent in the back of my car. He replied "Cyclists don't need insurance so its your F**king problem". I jumped back in my car and reversed over his bicycle, which all the onlookers found highly amusing, and jumped out of the car and said to him "Now who's F**king problem is it". As I drove off several of the onlookers where actually crying with laughter, he was just crying.

    Guess who I ran into at Baja Fresh? Nicole. She was at lunch with her boyfriend. She lied again. I can't believe she would lie about that. That's low.

    Goatee

    Last night I shaved off my goatee. The change is temporary. I do it once or twice a year. No matter how much you clean it, you can't get it perfectly clean. The solution? Shave it off. I encourage every man with facial hair to shave it at least twice a year.

    Pessimism and every moment after...

    Lately I've been thinking about what it takes for me to be in love. The kind of love I'm talking about is the "I would die for you", head over heals, happily ever after, kind of love. I ask myself, "Why can't I feel that way again?"

    You can never fall in love the same way twice. I know this. My problem is I need to feel something I don't know if I can explain. It's a mix of wonder, infatuation, lust and need. It's a feeling that every moment kept away from her is torture. Each time I meet someone I try and look for that feeling. To date, it hasn't been there. I've loved since then, but not like that, and not that hard. If I ever feel that type of love again, that woman will be the one I marry.

    I think the right path with begins letting go. I need to let go of that memory, of that feeling, of that person. Also, I need to believe, without a doubt, that love works. I'm going to start that process tonight.

    These first steps on my path will be the hardest. I've seen relationships come and go. People use the word "love" like it's synonymous with "like". So much so, I question if most people have ever felt love. I'm not innocent of it too either. In fact, if I were to pick one thing that I'm really ashamed of, it's saying "I love you" when I didn't mean it.

    I hope I don't go the rest of my life alone, or settle for something less when I've exausted all hope.

    old repost (but still true)

    To know oneself is tougher than it seems. Because we sort of assume we know who we are. Mostly just the good stuff. And maybe scratch the surface of our faults. But to truly know oneself is a life long task, and even that may not be enough time. We tend to flatter ourselves, then criticize ourselves, without ever really getting to know ourselves. We go hot and cold, we're on again, off again, in a stormy love-hate relationship with our own selves. When our hearts stray, and we do things we really don't really intend, say things we don't really mean, we cover it up and we lie to ourselves and we grow distant from well... our own damn selves. Ah, if only we can remain true to who we are, and love who we are, and just be who we are, in spite of ourselves.

    Yay!

    RIP, my bullheaded love

    He was really well-liked among people who knew him. He had a voice like silk and could sell anything. He could sell ice to an iceman. I met him when I went shopping for a stereo. I drove him crazy with questions, then I left without buying. But I went back a month later. I said, "I was here before and saw the stereo. I want to buy it." He said, "We don't have it anymore." I said, "Good, I can't afford it." But he really did have one and I bought it and he showed me how it went together. Then he said, "Do you date?" I said, "Not very well." He said, "That's okay, I don't really want to go." That was how it started, 18 years ago.

    Tripps: Interesting thought..."Jesus was a bleeding heart liberal for his time." Dad: no, actually, he was a conservative, who saw now gray and everything in black and white Dad: the truth is the truth and no exceptions Tripps: Ah, but the truth is based on perception of the facts. :) Dad: nope Dad: that is a liberal view point Tripps: Yup if you perceive something to be what it isn't to you... it's truth until proven otherwise. Dad: but if you are wrong in what you believe, it does not matter, since there is only one truth Tripps: but I'm saying from the perspective of the person because you can't be absolute. why? Tripps: because it's hubris to think you can see as objectively as God. Dad: just because someone thinks something that is false to be true, does not make it so Tripps: but you can't presume to know the absolute truth Tripps: you only know your version of it. Dad: you know the temperature of freezing, correct Tripps: Yes. Dad: there are things which have absolutes, there are no gray areas Tripps: 32F is not the only freezing temperature for water. Tripps: :) Tripps: just like boiling can be at room temperature given the conditions Tripps: once again... what you perceive as absolute isn't. You just don't know all there is to know on it. Dad: You will hear some say, "I would hate to be so narrow minded as to accuse all who differ with me of being wrong", but if that kind of tolerance is right, truth does not matter. You see everyone is narrow in most other realms, rightly so because the truth is narrow. o The Pacific Ocean is on the west coast, and the Atlantic is on the east coast, o The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on Dec 7, 1941 o Water freezes at 32 degrees, 33 degrees is close, but not right These are all truths, and cannot be moved in any direction and be right, You see the truth is narrow, and Spiritual Truth is just as narrow and positive as Truth in geographical, historical, or scientific realms. Tripps: Unless you're omnipotent and omniscient you're not seeing the whole picture therefore you don't know the truth as it is, only as you perceive it. Dad: a sermon I did not too long ago Dad: I would love to continue this, but I have a proposal to finish and I am flying to Portland this afternoon

    Progress vs. Change

    Do you ever wonder where your life is leading you? Actually, let me ask that question again. Do you ever wonder where you're leading your life? Have you progressed from where you were 2 years ago? 5 years ago?

    In some aspects I think I have prevailed. In others aspects, I feel nothing has changed. I have not made progress. Should I accept these unchanged things as part of who I am or should I continue to fight against demons I can't see?

    It also leaves me realizing, change isn't always progress. I have goals, I'm sticking to them and getting things accompished like never before. But I ask myself...why? To what end? You can't win. You still die. So what is my true goal here?

    Number of unmarried men for every 100 unmarried women in Paradise, Nev., an unincorporated suburb of Las Vegas. This is one of the highest ratios of any place with 100,000 or more people.

    Changes...

    Myself and others have noticed changes in my personality over the last 6 months. Some people don't like them. These changes are intentional. Like them or not, they are here to stay.

    I still have some areas that need work. For instance, my finances need work. I know this. People don't like the change in my attitude. People say I've changed. I have and I haven't. I am the same person I was. The difference is now I wear a different mask. The person I am now is closer to the person I've always wanted to be.

    I've never been happier in my life. I don't let people talk poorly of me without justification. If I have a problem with someone now I take it up with them. I don't talk crap about them when they aren't around to defend themselves. If you don't like me I can understand that, if it's something I can fix, let me know. I would rather someone like me than hate me.

    I'm moving forward with my life. I can't sit around waiting for things to happen. It's costing me alot of time and money, but I'm going to move forward if it kills me. The #1 thing that all successful people have in common are their massive amount of failures. I'm not afraid to fail.

    naïve

    Sometimes it astounds me at how naïve I can be. Let me try to explain what brought this on...

    Three years ago I was getting in the pool at my apartment complex with this girl. I was bitching to her about how it's harder for guys to get in the pool because of our testicles. She said "Oh yea at least you don't fill up with water when you get in." I thought wow, I learned something new, some deep dark girl secret. I come to find out after asking Windy a week ago (who I can ask anything to) if that happened to her. She laughed and said no and that she didn't know anyone who that happened to. So then I asked Becki since I had conflicting answers. She basically gave the same answer as Windy. So for years I had gone around thinking women normally filled with water when they got into a pool.

    After learning the truth about the woman/bouy theory, it makes alot of things clearer. Had I really thought about it, I bet I could have figured it out on my own. I mean, it all makes sense now.

    Eighty percent is good for my psyche. If I'm better, faster, stronger, smarter then 80% of people I would be just fine. Why? Because 80% is enough to be proud of, but at the same time not enough to be cocky about. Why? Because you're better off than 4 out of 5. So you know someone who is better off than you which keeps your ego in check but at the same time it gives your something to strive for.

There is something profoundly wrong (for both sexes) about the dating scene in Vegas. There is a low girl:guy ratio in Vegas for our age group. Plus with Clark county having the highest teen pregnancy rate in the country, every girl here has a kid. Luckily for me, kids don't bother me but for everyone else, you're all fucked.

    bootycall man pool: a group of guys that you're friends with that you call in for sexual favors.       I'm thinking "BMP" for short. Conversely, there should be a "BWP" as well.        

    I'm going to hell...

    It's so wrong, yet so funny.

    bored

    Blogger has a new "friendlier" blog posting interface. This allows html ignorant people the ability to post pictures and links and such.   It has such functions as:  
    align left
     
    align center
    align right
     
    It also has bold and italics.
     
    Colors and lists as well
     
    1. red
    2. blue
    3. green

     

    Heh, boy am I bored.

    Perhaps I've been asleep...

    I've just noticed it's impossible to live in this town anymore. I can't afford an apartment by myself if I wanted one. A year ago I made less and still made enough to buy a house! Jesus H Christ! $800 for a 1 bedroom apartment? What the fuck do I look like a New Yorker?

    Las Vegas and the NBA?

    "With the lure of Las Vegas, Shaquille O'Neal and Dwyane Wade in Heat uniforms, and Michael Jordan in an ownership position, it would be problem for him to put together a major ownership group. Jordan would have a chance to run the first major-league sports franchise in Las Vegas. And what a draw that would be for players."

    In celebration of the new Spiderman movie. I am resurrecting this photo from the archives. My spidey senses are tingling.

    Moore's Film

    shadowboxer: Read this if you've seen Moore's film. Tripps: I haven't seen it yet but here's the only reason why I like the film: It makes you question your government. I don't care if it's Bush or Clinton or George Washington. You question EVERYTHING Uncle Sam does. shadowboxer: I don't disagree Tripps: Even if it's all crap (it may very well be) it makes people question. shadowboxer: I never said questioning was bad Tripps: Nope. Tripps: I'm not arguing. Tripps: I'm just giving my stance on the film.

    More on the "women look for money" debate...

    Tripps: Women look for money. Why? Because it's a sign the man would be able to support a child. Just like women used to go for the best hunters during prehistoric times. Tripps: It's built into us. Rachel: fuck that...no kids Tripps: I'm not saying for you. Jesus! Listen! Tripps: Even if you don't want kids doesn't mean you're not programmed for it. Rachel: i know that Tripps: So you know that your programmed to find a suitable mate that could support a potential child? Rachel: right Tripps: That's where the money comes in... Rachel: but if thats not what she wants...then how do you figure thast Tripps: It's BUILT IN Rachel: ok Tripps: You can't help it. Even if you're logical mind doesn't want kids.... Tripps: it's a part of our "animalistic side" Rachel: ok Ill handle that...but even if you are programmed to want it...doesnt mean you cant be happy without it Tripps: you're right you can be happy without it... you make your own happiness Rachel: and look deeper than that...at the person... Tripps: You don't need anything to be happy. Nothing at all, except conciousness. Tripps: happiness is something noone gives you.

    "The United States 'doesn't have the political will to fund the research' because of pressure from fossil-fuel lobbyists, Marzwell said. 'We could have become the Saudi Arabia of the world electricity market,' Marzwell said. But because the coal and oil industries don't want threats to their profits, they applied political pressure, causing the program to be scrapped, according to Marzwell."

    Ladder Theory Master Page (repost)

    "IF A MAN FINDS YOU ATTRACTIVE YOU CANNOT BE FRIENDS

    Many women want to argue this point and say things like ' I have lots of guy friends.' Maybe. There are exactly 3 cases Intellectual Whores has identified whereby a guy and a girl can be friends:

  • The guy is gay
  • The guy does not find you attractive.
  • The guy already has a woman much higher than you on the ladder

    Even Nietzsche knew this. Most guys know this intuitively. Most girls doubt. I have a challenge for all of you girls who still doubt. Pick a guy who does not meet any of the criterion on the above list that you think is your friend. Then ask yourself this question: If you were both alone at his place one night, and you excused yourself to the bathroom and came out naked and asked him to have sex with you would he:

  • Tell you he doesn't want to risk the beautiful friendship you have created with messy physical entanglements.
  • Comply "

    I just read this. It gave me chills. That was a well planned setup. They told everyone that they were heading back to the airport. Of course everyone was going to sit there and be quiet.

Talking about someone never accomplished anything. People tend hear all these awful things about me. Then some of them get to know me, and realize that 75% of what was said about me was bullshit.

    I, Robot

    In the near future, technology and robots are a trusted part of everyday life. In “I, ROBOT”, that trust is broken and one man, alone against the system, sees it coming. The film employs spectacular visual effects innovations beyond any ever put on screen, to bring a world of robots to life. The film is directed by Alex Proyas (Dark City, The Crow) and is set in a world created by famed science fiction writer Isaac Asimov in his short story collection “I, ROBOT“.
    How can the movie suck with a director like that?

    Elitist

    The best computer people I've ever met were more that willing to teach you anything you wanted to know. They don't have the elitist attitude. They don't need to. They already know they're the best and they can't be intimidated by an up and coming admin. Bryce and Bill are my examples of people who really know their shit, and are willing to teach others. All the elitists I've ever met didn't really know as much as they let on. I may say I know a lot but at least I have the scruples to admit when I don't know something and then learn it. If someone wants to know something, I'm more than willing to teach them.

    Accusations

    If person A accuses person B of something but doesn't want person B to know that the accusation is being made, I would doubt person A. I was thinking about this today when something old came up about me. It's funny, I never knew the accusation was made until today. It isn't true. But if I didn't know it was made I couldn't prove it to be false. P.S. - Don't ask. It's not worth the pixels.

Phoenix: Anyway I ended up going back with her to her dorm. About another 8shots later, we end up fooling around on her bed. Phoenix: So about 10min's into her giving me head, I had to drop the fattest shit in my life. Phoenix: All my meals were followed by 3tsp of metamucil so I could get lots of fiber in me to combat the carbs a litte. Anyway im holdin my #2 in and finally it goes away. We both end up passing out on her bed, she's butt naked and im in my boxers. Phoenix: I wake up to piss and I find myself covered in shit. It was all over the bed,sheets,etc.... Im freakin out so I did the most horrible thing in the world. Phoenix: She's sleeping with her back towards me, so I take my boxers off, scoop up some shit and gently smear it on the inside of her butt, her lower back, and a little on the back of her hammies. Phoenix: I get dressed and leave... This poor girl is gonna think she did it. I didnt know what else to do though. I have no clue what im gonna do when I end up running into her.

    Rabbit Creative & No Logo

    "The privatization of public space in the form of the car continues the erosion of neighborhood and community that defines the metropolis. Road schemes, business 'parks,' shopping developments - all add up to the disintegration of community and the flattening of a locality. Everywhere becomes the same as everywhere else. Community becomes commodity - a shopping village, sedated and under constant surveillance. The desire for community is then fulfilled elsewhere, through spectacle, sold to us in simulated form. A TV soap 'street' or 'square' mimicking the area that concrete and capitalism are destroying. The real street, in this scenario, is sterile. A place to move through not to be in. It exists only as an aid to somewhere else - through a shop window, billboard or petrol tank. "

    Interesting take on gay marriage.

    I’ve seen arguments on both sides of the Gay Marriage debate. I’ve seen people who support the amendment to the Constitution, waving around their bibles and their “God Abhors You” signs. I’ve seen people that support gay marriage with their rainbow t-shirts and protest signs as well. And I still go with what my gut told me when first asked whether I supported Gay Marriage or not...

Harry: What I'm saying is - and this is not a come-on in any way, shape, or form - is that men and women can't be friends, because the sex part always gets in the way. Sally: That's not true. I have a number of men friends and there is no sex involved. Harry: No, you don't. Sally: Yes, I do. Harry: No, you don't. Sally: Yes, I do. Harry: You only think you do. Sally: You're saying I'm having sex with these men without my knowledge? Harry: No, what I'm saying is they all want to have sex with you. Sally: They do not. Harry: Do too. Sally: They do not. Harry: Do too. Sally: How do you know? Harry: Because no man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her. Sally: So you're saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive. Harry: No, you pretty much want to nail them, too. Sally: What if they don't want to have sex with you? Harry: Doesn't matter, because the sex thing is already out there, so the friendship is ultimately doomed, and that is the end of the story.
