That's part of where I think the double standard is (not with you specifically but with the idea that you're vandalizing someone's property and that makes street art wrong). There are giant billboards along virtually every street in the country. It's virtually impossible to escape these...

As I sit here, basting in paint remover fumes from an over-zealous landlord trying to sterilize the walls of the first floor, I cant help but wonder why a blank, beige wall is better than the tags that were previously there. I live in a neighborhood that is not the greatest so street art is...

Because I've always considered those to be bullshit excuses. That's an idea. I like it.

The next question then, I guess, is how do you tell someone? I mean, how do you really sit down with someone and say, "I really like you, I really like hanging out with you, you're hilarious, you make me smile, I feel happy when I'm around you... but your personal scent just doesn't click with...

Having a term for these people requires giving a fuck about them enough to come up with one.

The reason I asked is because I've been seeing a girl for a few weeks, and she's pretty wonderful in most respects. I don't find her the "OMG SEXY" that I've found in partners past, but I'm not sure if that's because of the scent or I'm getting put-off by the scent because of that. Like I said...

Have you ever met someone and been around them and their personal scent just... didn't click with you? It's not that they smell bad or have problems with body odor, but their own personal scent just somehow strikes you as off or not right. What (if anything) did that eventually end up meaning?

Kind of a vent/rant. I recently decided I wanted to pick up and learn guitar. I've always wanted to, I had a little extra cash, so I bought a Fender Stratocaster Starcaster that came with a basic amp. Just a little starter set for like $170 from Guitar Center. I get an email three days later...

Like I said, I totally grok the idea of a few people reading and enjoying things like Catcher in the Rye. But once everybody and their dog puts it on their favorite reading list, especially when they have NO OTHER SIGNS of enjoying reading, I get suspicious.

Small piece of completely un-asked for advice; DONT DATE AT WORK! Fishing off the company pier is a terrible idea for a laundry list of reasons. Most (if not all) of my friends know. Nobody in my family does, though that is more because I just haven't bothered to say anything rather than...

My dander is down like downtown, my bonnet has been bee-free since 1839, and I dont allow wind instruments in my dreams XD I'm seriously not trying to rip on or discourage you and nothing I wrote was mean-spirited in the least. Being the office dickhead is kinda my thing. My advice still stands...

Something I've noticed on OKC; you can very easily pick out the non-readers. If their favorite book list is essentially a high school English class reading list, good chance they're not "book people." I almost never hear anyone speak well of The Great Gatsby or Catcher in the Rye but man, fire...

A little of all three, actually. Cultural programming has a lot to do with it; your image of yourself is tied up in a picture given to you by the culture around you. Because your current situation clashes with that picture, it creates feelings of insecurity. There's no real "cure" for it, you...

Yeah it sounds like he needs some professional help. From an unprofessional standpoint, it sounds like he's stressed (college, the norm) and he's going for the junk food for the same reasons a lot of people do; junk food is a coping mechanism because it temporarily boosts a lot of the feel-good...

Is that too much to ask? Am I being unrealistic? If I am, I'll settle for one boyfriend, but ideally there'd be two. And they'd be blond. Twinks. Welcome to the club, drinks half-priced after ten and ladies get in for free with a friend. No, not unrealistic at all. But I'll tell you the same...

I've generally considered astrology to be bullshit, I dont see why the article is to be held in better light.

Considering the widespread failure rate for marriages, rampant spousal abuse, high reported levels of unhappiness and dissatisfaction in a marriage, it would push me to ask the same question regarding monogamy. It's whatever works for you. Monogamy is the majority (though I personally contest...

It hurts. A lot. It's also very surprising when it happens.

It really wasn't any one thing in particular. Concepts just started stacking up until I stumbled across the term one day. I looked up what it meant and then it hit like a bike lock to the face; holy fuck, this is me! It resonated so strongly that I knew in my heart of hearts THIS was me, THIS is...

Perhaps, but to me it makes me wonder how valuable that perspective is to our daily lives. I can spend hours trying to get into the mindset of a squirrel, trying to understand the nuances of his existence. At the end of the day, I am no further to any goal that will help my life any for that...
