My Demoralization

I've Started a New Blog

noreply@blogger.com (Steve G) — Mon, 12 May 2008 22:03:00 +0000

Just an FYI to those of you who care, I am now blogging with a fellow coworker at
http://forchumps.com

It turns out Jason and I share a mutual love for bitching about things, so we've decided to start a new rant-blog about things we believe are for chumps.

Things like racism, iPhone rumors, and hippies are for chumps!

Anyway, give it a read, let me know what you think.

These "coffee-table-book" blogs, as I like to call them, are getting much more popular nowadays. PlanetHiltron is a great photoshop site that asks the question, "what would celebrities look like if they were just regular schmucks?" It's actually pretty fascinating and creepy. Enjoy:

Photoshop Disasters

noreply@blogger.com (Steve G) — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 14:53:00 +0000

So I found a great new blog called Photoshop Disasters. And it is pretty much what you think. They take user-submissions from people who have found some pretty obvious Photoshop mistakes on various media. Now I admit, I may have edited a few pictures in the past in order to make myself look, umm, hunkier (than usual), but never anything this talented. Take a gander:

As I posted a few weeks ago, I went on a cruise to Mexico. More specifically, I went to Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada. What can I say? It was a lot of fun but I'll never go on a cruise to Mexico again. Anyhow, I thought I'd share some of my pics. You can find the rest here.

The Broccoli Of Dating

noreply@blogger.com (Steve G) — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 22:01:00 +0000

I found this tragically-funny, collaborative post at the Man Blog, between a single man and a single woman. Both have been historically down on their luck in terms of their love lives and have called themselves, for at least one day, The Broccoli of Dating. They make several points that, I believe, a lot of us can relate to. Anyway, here is the beginning snippet (in case you're wondering, Ade is the man and Kring is the woman):

KRING: I’ve been single for the past 22 years and I think I’ve somehow flaunted that fact like a tiara on my head. To me, NBSB = high standards. Not. In reality, I’ve cried a little too much thinking that maybe, just maybe, I’m not good enough. You see, guys only started asking me out last year. Hell, I had my first real kiss just before the 2007 elections and I have never received a love letter in my life. Not even anything that says “I crush you. Pautang naman ng pamasahe…” (I have a crush on you. Can I borrow fare money?)

ADE: I actually did that to someone. Y’see, I was broke way back in college and I needed money REAL badly. So I like looked for the ugliest fattest, richest girl I could find. So I wrote the mushiest love letter I could think of and then five paragraphs on I asked for a hundred bucks so I could afford to eat lunch. And then she probably fell in love with me then and there. Yeah, I got my lunch money but I spent the next three years of college with a fat girl hiding in the bushes everywhere I go. Also, it was scary- wait aren’t we writing about the Broccoli of Dating? Yeah, so I just got my 20th Valentine’s Day date rejection. And my fifth restraining order.

KRING: That’s the problem with you, guys! You take advantage of us girls who just want to be loved. I mean, I’m guilty of that, being the googly-eyed hopeless romantic that I am. I was the girl who’d walk in the rain, hoping that someone would care enough to share an umbrella with her. The girl who’d hang out by her lonesome on a rooftop, smiling and feeling the wind while listening to a Koreanovela soundtrack. The girl who’d write her phone number on bus seats, waiting for her knight in shining armor to become her “txtm8″. All because I was and still am nobody’s girl.

ADE: Yeah, but are you creepy? Exactly. But you see, I’m what you’d call the Gay Best Friend Only Straight. You honestly don’t know how many intimate stories I’ve heard from various (hot) women who apparently think I’m “safe”. It sucks, knowing that they’re dating an asshole and I’m here to listen to their stories, and totally willing to take care of them better. And guess what? They don’t see that! Why? Is it because I have boobs?

KRING: Well, to be politically correct, they’re manboobs, dear. Manboobs. And what are you talking about? I may not be the gay best friend but guys don’t think I’m female either! Fine. I’m bordering on alcoholic, I curse like a sailor, I crack more jokes than your uncle and I laugh like that obnoxious jeepney honk you often hear at Cubao or Marikina but I still have womanly sensibilities! I’m just a girl, standing in front of a guy, asking him to lo- wait. That’s Julia Roberts. I’m not your typical girl but who likes boring people anyway?

ADE: But I’m boring. However, I’m no douchebag. I don’t have the latest cars, I don’t break skulls in a dark alleyway, I don’t impregnate fifteen different women at once. In fact, I just like to cry at sunsets while I write poetry and paint the scenery and- wait, I think I finally figured out why I don’t nail the women. Suicide break brb.

Stuff White People Like: Not Having a TV

noreply@blogger.com (Steve G) — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 15:53:00 +0000

I came across this hilarious blog called Stuff White People Like and the writer really hits the nail on the head with several issues. So anyway, I thought I'd share one of my favorites.

#28 - Not Having a TV

The number one reason why white people like not having a TV is so that they can tell you that they don’t have a TV.

On those lonely nights when white people wish they could be watching American Idol, Lost, or Grey’s Anatomy, they comfort themselves by thinking of how when people talk about the show tomorrow they can say “I didn’t see it, I don’t have a TV. That stuff rots your brain.”

It is effective in making other white people feel bad, and making themselves feel good about their life and life choices.

Though these people often fill their time by talking with other friends who don’t watch TV about how they don’t watch TV, looking at leaves, cooking, reading books about left wing politics, and going to concerts/protests/poetry slams.

Generally this makes them very boring and gives you very little to talk to them about. It’s important that you NEVER suggest they are making a mistake or that there is a value to owning a TV. You should just try to steer the conversation to allow them to talk about how they are better than you.

Vacation starts tomorrow. I'm leaving on a cruise for a few days to Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada, Mexico. I just wanted to let you know that, with the exception of one person, I won't be missing any of you bastards! So anyway, in the spirit of my cruise experience I would like to show you this crazy commercial that turns out to me one of the funniest Titanic parodies I've seen.

Guide to Explaining the Super Bowl to Women

noreply@blogger.com (Steve G) — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 20:19:00 +0000

The Bachelor Guy offers a great guide for men everywhere. If any of the guys out there plan on watching the Super Bowl with their girlfriends/wives this is a great way of giving them the low-down. All I need to do is figure out how to translate this to Nascar. Anywhere, here it is:

New England Patriots. They are like that award-winning Hollywood actress who is getting a little older, but somehow still looks great in a bikini. You know that she secretly cheated and had some “work done” early on, but you still respect how she looks. And even though you are jealous of her, you love watching her movies.

New York Giants. They are like your girlfriend you secretly make fun of, who is kind of chunky and still wears mom jeans, yet ended up with a really good looking guy. And you and your friends just can’t figure out how she did it.

Illegal Contact. You know how when you are on the dance floor and it’s okay for a guy to put his hands on your hips and grind a little too close, but when you leave the floor for the drink he owes you, he has to keep his hand off? Well, the first five yards are the “dancing”, and after five yards is the “drink”.

Pass Interference. It’s just like at the shoe store. If you see a pair of Jimmy Choo’s first, and are about to pick them up, another woman isn’t allowed to push you out of the way and grab them.

First Downs. Imagine you go on a diet and lose 10 lbs. You still think you’re fat and decide to lose another 10, towards your ultimate goal of getting into the jeans you wore in high school. But your jealous friends keep trying to keep you from reaching that goal, but taking you to dinner and making you order dessert.

Congratulatory Head Butting. You know when your girlfriend tells you she just got a designer dress on sale so low she practically stole it and you hug each other and jump up and down while you both scream in a high-pitched voice so loud that it actually hurts your head? Guys can’t reach that note so we bash each other’s head to equal that pain.

Play Action Pass. You think the play is one thing but it turns out to be another. It’s like last night when I asked you what was for dinner and you turned it into a fight about how I hate you mother.

The Red Challenge Flag. It’s like when one of your friends wears an outfit that she thought looked good when she put it on in the morning, but now that you see her in the light of day, you realize that those shoes do not go with that dress. At all. The red flag is like taking her to a mirror so she can have another look.

Roughing the Kicker. You know how you have forbidden me to ever touch your sorority sister since you found out that I once hooked up with her? The kicker is that sorority sister.

Zone Defense vs. Man to Man Defense. When I go shopping, I know exactly what I want to get, grab it and go. That’s like man to man. When you shop, you cover an entire floor of Macy’s picking up anything and everything that catches your eye. That’s zone defense.

Illegal Block in the Back. Remember last night when I wanted to try something “different” and you wanted no part if it?
