    My sister got misconnected, and went on a date with dude.

    Said it was nice, and a little weird.

    Some crazy sex addict, who could definitely write a bit, did a list of all the girls he slept with on Best of...
    It is funny and really sad, and offers some great insights on sex.

    If you search, 'all the women i dated,' you should find it. Deep pathos in thurr...

    Oh, and my dad almost fell out of his chair reading, 'my mom has the worst farts,' on best of.

    F*ck that is funny and also really depressing.
    I read the whole thing.
    It's just sad, the dude sounds like he preyed on women and never experienced any love and is now resigned and cynical and alone.

    For real. It's definitely a funny read, but if it's actually true? Yeesh.

    It feels very true, to me... Some of his insights and observations feel like things that you've all thought over the years, but never been able to say...

    At the end, he does reach some modicum of personal contentment. I think that is good. But, the image of that lady's holey panties at the end is just so... graphic...

    To me, that piece is everything anonymous-confessional-internet writing should be.

    Yeah, if it is actually a fabrication, dude is a good writer. Lots of evocative images and candor and sadness.

    A lot of guys would cop to blapping a lot of women, but far fewer would cop to blapping a lot of unattractive women for the basest of reasons.


    I could have done without the "annoying jap" comment. It was gratuitous and kinda ruined it for me for a minute.

    Couldn't help but wonder if it was "jap" or "j.a.p." ... although either way
    I guess it isn't really the best expression to use.

    I definitely took it as the latter, in NYC/Hamptons talk. Not that it is excusable, but... I dunno. just feels different...

    Oh, I hadn't thought of that. I figured j.a.p. would be written as JAP to connote acronym status, but who knows. I went right to the Japanese slur since JAP doesn't come up much in my local white/goyim experience.

    J.A.P. is certainly not as patently offensive (to me, anyway) as "jap," but still, why bring up the jewishness anyway? "You're an annoying princess" conveys the same sentiment.

    ok, end of white liberal indignation.

    Well, the fact that we would argue it says a lot about the
    degree to which we get offened by racism over sexism, huh?

    Seriously. That was probably the least offensive thing in that screed. The guy sounded like a sociopath.

    Posted an hour after my gig last night:

    http://tucson.craigslist.org/mis/2408864538.html

    You came into my life a month ago. Our eyes did not meet but a connection was made when you walked by. I stopped dancing to catch my breath. The energy I felt from you penetrated deep into the core of my being. We never officially met that night. It wasn't until a couple of weeks later that we finally met. The connection was even stronger this time. I could see myself in you. My reflection was there in your eyes. I wanted to dive into them. Instead I refrained from making much eye contact and dove into my own world, freeing my mind with the music as I danced into the night. Later on, as the rest of the world fell into their sleepy slumbers, I laid awake dreaming about you but I know that I was not the only one who was dreaming under the stars that night. I tried to free you from my mind but I could not. The feeling was too strong. I feel you all around me. I think about you and what it would be like to get lost in your eyes for awhile. I don't know what the chances are that you will actually read this but if you do, I'd like to connect.

    It's GOTTA be someone messing with me. I ain't taking the bait!
