My femine side

Overall I’m a pretty macho guy, people joke the my femine side is non existent.  People say things like “You’d make the worst gay guy ever”, “They say there is a woman in every man, yours must be a really buchy lesiban” “You’re a real third world (sic) mutha f****r”. There are four things though that are my more senstive side.

1. I love cats

2. I’ve been known to watch and enjoy a chick flick in secret (High Fidelity, Bull Durham, Say Anything)

3. I love nice clothes

4. I actually have a talent at decor (at one point people suggested I ought to be an interior decorator)

That’s really about it, but at least it’s something.

Cleaning up today, chores… I hate cleaning. Getting ready to set up a home gym in my dorm room, treadmill, weight bench, pull up bar, leg weights, some other stuff.

I’m not a liar

I’ve always been sort of talented with certain things, I taught myself basically cicritary, when I was around eight or nine, I learned math on paper with alternate number systems around the same age. I’ve also aquired through being in bizzare situation, various anecdotes. Anyway, people seem to think I lie, and I don’t. One person asked me do you remember the first sentence you ever read, and I spent the night digging around my mind to find it. The next day I said I remembered “flopsy mopsy and cottaintail” they accused me of looking it up. I didn’t in fact I looked it up a few minutes ago, and it is the second sentence in the book. I know why do I care, I just hate being called a liar, I really hate liars, if I had a per peeve about people in general it is dishonesty. Anyway I know what I did, so I shouldn’t get myself in a knot about it.

Accent Change

For anyone who doesn’t know, one of my personal heroes is president Theodore Roosevelt, he also has one of the best speaking voices of all time.

According to – http://linguistlist.org/ask-ling/accent.html

You can change you accent by

Here is what is recommended as a method by one of our panelists, Suzette Hayden Elgin. If you do this, it is best to choose recordings of someone of your own gender.:

I suggest the following procedure, which has worked very well for many people:

1. Get a cassette tape of someone who speaks English with the accent that you would like to have, at least twenty minutes long.
2. Listen to the entire tape all the way through once or twice, just to become familiar with its content. Don’t write it down or try to memorize it.
3. Listen to a brief sequence — just a sentence or two. Rewind the tape to the beginning of that sentence.
4. Say the sentence aloud _with_ the tape. Don’t repeat it after the tape as is done in traditional foreign language courses — speak with the speaker. Don’t worry about making mistakes, just do your best to speak simultaneously with the speaker.
5. Rewind to the beginning of the sentence and do this again, several times. (Ten times is not too many.)
6. Move to the next sentence and do the same thing.
7. Continue until you’ve worked your way through the whole tape speaking with your chosen model speaker.

The amount of time it takes for this to yield good results varies from one individual to another, depending on many factors. I’d suggest working in at least fifteen minute sessions and at least three days each week. When you become so familiar with the tape that you know it by heart or you’re so bored with it that you can’t stand it, choose a different tape that uses the same accent and repeat the process. Be careful not to work with any one tape so long that you start sounding as if you were trying to do an impersonation of the speaker.

I’m going to do this with recording of Theodore Roosevelt, I know it’s a little odd but who would not want to speak like this

My accent as of know

Why I’m not cynical

So I notice that a allot of people, especially a good number of fellow students (not all, but a fair amount), speak about how bad the world is, or how evil our nation is, the evils of human nature. I do honestly think, people are mostly good. I’ve been helped by strangers, I’ve seen people help others with little in return. Yes there is hardship in many parts of the world, but there are people working to correct those things. People are good, society is mostly good.

Doppelganger

Apparently there is a person on campus who looks just like me. People on my hall have seen him, only difference is he gels up his hair. It’s funny I’ve never had a double before.

WTF Facebook

I have no idea who these people are. They have friend requested me, who are they. Also the girl looks really trashy, I mean I don’t even know people who would pose in a photo like that. What the f**** face book!
