I’m feeling SO swing baby!

First a video of Cab Calloway … for people like me who knew the name & the music but not the man (worth the watch):

And some INCREDIBLE lindy-hop:

I’ll definately add more later.

Hear ye, Hear ye. He is back!

Yes people, i’m back with a fresh new article! This time around, I go through the list of times I thought: “Why the hell are they doing this?”. I’m (unfortunately?) usually a good “dry-shoulder” for ladies to go cry on and let me tell you, i’ve heard them all. And seriously, most of these… are just stupid, right of the bat. Here we go:

“Honey-boo, let’s have a kid!”

Don’t get me wrong, I love kids. And parenting is a great thing. EXCEPT… when you’re 20. Or you’ve known your wife for 6 months. I’ve actually knew a chick that on the second date, she asked if I’d like to have kids within THE YEAR. As any sane human being, I did the most logical thing I could do: Dump her ass. A week later, she was with another man. I also know a guy who had a kid from his highschool girlfriend. Sheesh man, we’re not in the 50’s anymore! If there’s something, there’s no way your highschool love is the love of your life (do some math… 6.6 billion people… you met her ON THE FIRST TRY. Yeah. Right. Try the lottery pal!). On the other hand, mistake happens. I know a single mother that is getting through life rather well. I still think that she could’ve tried an another approach… but hey, her choice!.

Bottom line: Have kids when you’ve been together for 5 years, lived together for at least 3 and when you stop oggling that sexy co-worker.

“Sweetcake… Let’s rent a place!”

Again, sharing your day to day life with your sweet-half… can be great (I guess). BUT NOT, when you’ve been going out for 3 weeks. A good friend of mine, picked this guy randomly from a bar (as most ladies do…). Ya-di-ya-da. Couple of weeks later… they were living together. And right there and then, things got sour. Problems at work… problems when going out… sharing the same vital space = One HUGE screamfest. Now, they’re doing the salsa of “Get out of here!” and “Come back, please!”. It’s a shame… two wonderful person, ruined by a stupid idea.

Bottom line: DON’T LIVE WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND. Hell, even when you’re married, don’t live together. You can do that when you’re 50 and bored with your sex life. And talking about sex life…

“Honey, you know I love you … but let’s be modern here!”

This one … is still a puzzle to me. Open couple where the main rules is “You can fuck anyone… as long as I don’t know about it, and I can do it too. By the way, I love you.”. Oddly enough … that always seemed to either end on a hateful scream and lots of cries … or a mountain of “You f*cking slut! You slept with WHO?!?”. Wow. Who would’ve thought! I can understand the need to fuck stranger just for the sex but, yeah. That’s what happens!

Bottom line: If you want an open couple, you don’t want a couple.

“Cutie bear? You remember my friend Sharon, right? Funny subject came up…”

Threesomes… can be an interesting memory. But that is if it’s not with your better half. Threesomes are like f*ck-friends, you do them out of sheer pleasure & adventure. You don’t do that with your better half! Even drunk … because guess what? It’s bound to fill your couple with doubts, little “Why is he enjoying fucking her so much…” or the casual “Hey… she’s really digging that carpet job… uhm…”.

Bottom line: Keep your sex fantasies safe and out of reach of your loved one (… I’m not saying cheating here… duh.)

“Baby, you know I love you as much as I would if you were right here…”

My personnal favorite: Long Distance Relationship. The thought of the logic behind this is simply laughable. When you love someone… you want to be with them. You want to wake up and see their sleepy eyes open and see their bright (yet slightly smelly) smile. You want to hug them close… Now, imagine doing these things with an ocean between you and your loved one. Sounds logical? Get your head checked. I knew a chick that had a boyfriend in FRANCE (while we were in Montréal, Québec)… COME ON ! I, of course being nice as I am, broke them off. I’m not one to screw-up someone’s else couple … unless I think it’s pure crap. And this one, was the mother load.

Bottom line: 15 miles radius people.

So that’s it. Oh well, I also thought about the “Hey honey! Let’s try inter-species beastiality!” but … couldn’t think of anything funny to go with that. … Pouhahaha.

This is a REALLY impressive mod:

I find this article very interesting… and enlighting. By the way, i’m not saying “Hey, everybody! Go do some meth!”. I’m saying… instead of rendering it “illegal”… think of alternatives…

I always hated people who went “Drugs are horrible! So much worse then alcohol or cigarette.”. Usually the following sentence was “Hey man, you got any light? No? Arggg… fuck I really want to smoke…”. Anyways, pulled off: http://www.healthrelatedinfos.com

Illegal drugs can be “harmless” and should no longer be “demonised”, a wide-ranging two-year study concluded today.

The report said Britain’s drug laws were “not fit for purpose” and should be torn up in favour of a system which recognised that drinking and smoking could cause more harm.

The RSA Commission on Illegal Drugs ,set up in January 2005, also called for the main focus of drugs education to be shifted from secondary to primary schools and recommended the introduction of so-called “shooting galleries” - rooms where users can inject drugs.

The report, compiled by a panel of academics, politicians, drugs workers, journalists and a senior police officer, also called for the Home Office to be stripped of its lead role in drugs policy.

It recommended the Misuse of Drugs Act be scrapped in favour of a wider-ranging Misuse of Substances Act, and the current ABC classification system be abandoned in favour of an “index of harms”.

Current laws, the panel claimed, were been “driven by moral panic” with large amounts of money wasted on “futile” efforts to stop supply rather than going after the criminal networks behind the drugs on British streets.

At the heart of the report was a call for an end to what the panel called the “criminal justice bias” of current policy in favour of an approach that would treat addiction as a health and social problem rather than simply a cause of crime.

The report, which aimed to influence a government review of drug strategy next year, also called for jail sentences to be given for only the most serious drugs-related crimes and for addicts to be given jobs and housing as part of treatment.

It also recommended wider access to treatment such as prescription heroin.

Former Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith, who is chair of the Conservative Social Justice Policy Group, described the report as “worryingly complacent” and accused the members of the commission of failing to do their homework.

“I find it most disappointing that the RSA report appears to endorse the failed harm reduction strategy of recent years and to ignore extensive evidence that residential rehab can lead to full recovery from drug addiction.

He said the RSA had not surveyed the views of drug addicts or looked at treatment programmes in such countries as Sweden and Holland, “where levels of drug abuse are much lower than the UK”.

But commission chairman Prof Anthony King of Essex University and: “Current policy is broke and needs to be fixed.”

The report, which is likely to spark fierce controversy, said: “The use of illegal drugs is by no means always harmful any more than alcohol use is always harmful. It called for the concept of drugs to be extended to take in alcohol and tobacco.

“The evidence suggests that a majority of people who use drugs are able to use them without harming themselves or others. They are able, in that sense, to ‘manage’ their drug use … The harmless use of illegal drugs is thus possible, indeed common,” it said.

Describing the drugs trade as a business, the report said illegal drugs had been “demonised” by politicians and the media.

It said a lot of money was wasted trying to achieve the “impossible” goals of completely stopping the importation of illegal drugs, as well as the production, distribution and sale of illegal drugs within the UK.

Describing the Misuse of Drugs Act as unwieldy and inflexible, the report says: “It sends people to prison who should not be there.

“It forces people into treatment who do not need it (while, in effect, denying treatment to people who do need it).”

While the report does not call for decriminalisation, it questions the idea of total prohibition.

“Drugs policy should, like our policy on alcohol and tobacco, seek to regulate use and prevent harm rather than to prohibit use altogether,” the report concludes. The RSA is the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce.

Yes, I voted today in Quebec (real vote day is: .

I know, I know… it’s so not-punk. So not cool. Hip. But yeah, I did it. And I kind of got interested in it for once (I.e.: I didn’t vote for the party who had the funniest name.) But to my dismay… It got me thinking.

Why do we have the right to vote? Let’s see here what Wiki says about it:

Voting is a method of decision making where in a group such as a meeting or an electorate attempts to gauge its opinion—usually as a final step following discussions or debates.

What about democracy? :

The definition of democracy is simple, the rule of the people, but great complexity and diversity has arisen from the varied concepts used at different periods of history and in different situations.

But WHY … Oh why, do we let stupid (mostly un-informed or just too old to be informed) people VOTE! For me, it makes absolutely no sense what-so-ever. It completely makes me sigh in despair. It renders the whole process meaningless. I see what some of you might think “We all have 1 vote, 1 voice, we’re all equal”. Yeah, but what happens when that voice is retarded and has nothing good to say?

Anyways. All this to say two things: I voted for Quebec Solidaire. and I swear to myself, in the upcoming elections: I will be more informed and i’ll be “That guy…” that everybody hates that keep saying “Oh you shouldn’t vote for these guys …”

Btw, I’m sorry for the lack of new stuff and all … I had a huge rush at work (if you’re curious: Babe Tournament) and i’m looking into re-doing the site’s layout.

So cheerios!
