ugg fuck fuck fuck

so I have my midterm exam
for my informal logic class
almost complete

there is one section
in which he tells us
to find and analyze an argument
which commits one of the following sins:

Denying the Antecedent,
Affirming the Consequent,
False Dilemma
Arguing Backwards with "All"
Arguing Backwards with "No"
Reasoning in a Chain with "Some".

it is due in 40 minutes
and
for the life of me
I cant find one

this section is worth
20 points out of 110 points
and
I am not going to get em
cause
I dont know anyone dumb enough
to write such a fallacious argument

I have spent the last four hours
trolling the net
trying to find any sort of substantial argument
where one of the above errors are made

so far either people have their shit together
enough not to make the errors
[elitedebate for example]
or
for the most part are unable to even put
together an argument coherent enough
to contain said fallacies

fuck I am frustrated

whew!

midterm exam is off
just under the wire

big rocking kudos
to damion
for coming to the rescue
on that last post

you rock

big ass gold star baby


anyway
I am going to hop in the shower
and
head off to class

be well

(no subject)

saw
the girl today

even talked to her
longer than usual

it was quite pleasant

but

and there always is a but

she turns out to be
a bit younger than I am willing to go

so
that really cripples the midget

in other news

I decided
I love the shirts I bought
but
am not so fond of the sweaters
so

I am thinking I will return em
and
buy some more shirts

Random Thoughts

things from my last poll

Potentially more than half of you have masturbated to thoughts of your own sexiness, with 10% willing to out right admit it, 21% willing to indirectly admit it, and another 21% who are not sure if they have or not. Only 31% of you deny it outright while 15% of you consider it too freakish to answer

Style, Substance, Perception

Substance wins hands down with 68%

now for some thoughts to ponder

to be clear, I am not asking for explanations
for statements made in anyway

these are just some of the answer which I received
and I would love to hear yalls thoughts on them

or in another words I want to know general opinions
on certain thoughts shared rather than a defense of them
because I found them interesting.

In the worst quality category:

"you're often a bit too far from my definition of human"

"it seems like you are very stuck in your ways and even for the perfect person wouldn't change that "

on the first one
I am rather amused but entirely unsure how to take that
again I am not asking for a justification
but if anyone cares to share how they would take it
it would amuse me to here your perspective

on the latter

that has been something which has been bothering me lately as well, hence the recent post on relationships. I would say it is more stuck in my values which are in themselves bizarre, so finding someone else with those values becomes increasingly less and less likely

of course
I am also a flippant romantic type bastard who often throws all sorts of ideals
[but not principles] out the window when freshly enamored with a young lady


thankfully only one of you thought I might be your father
which I might point out is highly unlikely
given standard statistical deviations
[I haven't slept with "that" many women]

that isn't to say I am completely
ruling out the possibility of me having
offspring somewhere
just that the chances are fairly remote

YaY

today was a good mail day

but before
I go into it

let me just say
that my sister is fabulous

I simply adore her
and am lucky that she loves me

*grin*

I got two boxes
in the mail today

one from my sister
which contained
my tux
wonderfully dry cleaned
so I will be ready
for the partae coming up

she also found and dry cleaned
my blue pea coat
[so now I have one in blue and one in black]
which I had forgotten about
and
more importantly
something I thought lost for good
a custom made
irish linen dress shirt
that I simply adore

as well as a few other items
which were nice to find again
but
most importantly

she sent pictures
of my nieces and nephews
which
I have already put up
on the fridge

good stuff

the other box was
more DVDs
and
yes I realize this has now
gone beyond compulsive
but
they are good ones
really

I got

The manchurian candidate
Drugstore cowboy
12 monkeys
Dave
The Limey
and
of course

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
[Kristy Swanson is a hottie]
[and yes sports fans there was someone before Sarah]
[who did a better job too, nothing against sarah]
[she is a nice piece of ass, but she had nothing on Kristy]
[in this role]

that said

I am dying to take bettie out for an extended ride
couple hours or so
but don't have a clue where to go

guess I will have to start looking at maps or something

anyone in the NC region able to suggest
a nice ride or something cool to go see?

anyone

anyone

other random thoughts

you know I hate it when
I lose a girls phone number

cause it just fucks you

first off you cant call her
which sort of screws up all the related plans

then you look like an asshole
for not calling her like you said you would

and lastly you have to come up with
some self depreciating bullshit to make yourself look like an ass
because it will still be better than
trying to convince her that you actually lost her number

because hell will freeze over
before she believes you on that one

and even if she did believe you
which is unlikely
you still look like an ass
so
might as well score some creativity points
while you are at it

let me say
that I am not advocating dishonesty here
at least not in the sense that
you expect them to believe whatever you come up with

it is an art form I have developed
by which you lie so bloody obviously
that
it is readily apparent that
you have no real intention of convincing them
of your tale
but
instead are working the amusement angle

some examples

I once told a boss, that I was late for work
because the little people held me prisoner
until I agreed to give them a years supply
of bread pudding and jolly ranchers

or

excusing yourself from a meeting
because you have a gynecological exam scheduled
[obviously this would not work the same way for a chick]

another favourite excuse
of mine to use with girlfriends
whenever they ask where you were
or why you were late etc

sorry my other girlfriend
was feeling sexually neglected
and it was morally imperative
that I reassert my dominant male sexuality

or

sorry I was abducted & handcuffed to a bed
by the swedish bikini team and forced to participate
in a broad variety of disturbingly pleasurable
sexual experiments


oh I was reminded of this the other night

guys when you are out on a date
do not be assholes to the waitress
chicks pay attention to how you treat people around you
they seem to think it shows how you will treat them
[they might even be right]
