"Men, you know you're desperate for sex if..."
1) You're making out with a chick, she unzips your pants and she discovers you're already wearing a condom.
2) You decide to do "cybersex" with complete strangers in an on-line chat room (uh, it's NOT actually sex... it's "typing", dammit!).
3) You're about to have sex with a chick and you CAN'T find any condoms around your house or apartment, so you settle for Saran Wrap.
4) You auction off your virginity over the Internet in an on-line auction. The winning bidder turns out to be a 68 year-old Ukranian woman (in a wheelchair) who has the winning bid of $1.50. You decide to put out anyways.
5) ALL your Twitter and Facebook friends are pornstars and you constantly pester them to star in your own homemade adult film.
6) You find yourself leering at the freshly baked apple pies at the bakery shop (yes, that's an "American Pie" joke).
7) You're STILL willing to have sex with the drunken chick who threw up her dinner on you.
8) You're willing to bang the psycho chick who has been stalking you the last 6 months.
9) ALL of the female pen pals that you write to are convicted felons (who are doing 10 to 20 years in a maximum prison). You have their scheduled "conjugal visits" circled on your calendar.
10) You start your own adult film production company just so you have a steady flow of hot chicks.

Bye Bye Floppy
Story shown originally on Talknerdytomelover.com
Sony announced today that they would end shipments of 3.5" floppy disks in Japan in March of 2011, two years after ending worldwide shipments of what was once the most ubiquitous storage media on the planet.
If you went to school in the '80s or '90s, you remember carrying these stupid plastic squares around, flicking the little metal cover back and forth even though your teachers told you that would ruin the disk. And you remember using whatever utilities you could on your computer to somehow get that 2 MB file (it's HUGE!) to either fit on one of these 1.44 MB "high" density disks or span multiples of them.
The floppy's death spiral began in 1998, when Apple introduced the floppy-less iMac, while CD burners began to become widely available. I think the last time I used one was in 2004, when I needed to pull an old college paper off a floppy. I had to dig a USB floppy drive out of storage just to do that, since I got rid of my last computer with a built-in floppy drive in 2002.
So, with the floppy all-but-dead and buried, let's take a look back at some fun floppy facts:
- The 3.5" floppy disk was originally released by HP in 1982 and held 264 kB of data.
- The common 3.5" HD floppy disk was released in 1987, and had nearly completely replaced its 5.25" predecessor within 3 years.
- As larger storage media became popular, there were multiple attempts to extend the life of the floppy drive, including the LS-120 "SuperDisk" (God, remember that thing?)
- A pack of 40 3.5" floppy disks will cost you $24.99 at Amazon.com. That gets you about 58 MB of storage. For the same price, you can get an 8 GB flash drive from Amazon.com. That's nearly a 14000% increase in storage.
- A dual-layer Blu-ray Disc can hold 100 GB of information, or the equivalent of 69,444 floppy disks.

April Showers
Hello blogger's and reader,
Well haven't written in a while but blogging lost its luster. Like almost everything I do in my life, I get into something then I just stop. Here is an update on what I'm in to now but possibly giving up in couple weeks...(BTW I stopped going to gym six days after I last blogged about the elliptical)I am trying to eat 5 to 6 times a day to increase my metabolism... so far I feel like nothing happening but maybe its my NY mentality that I want it to happen NOW!! But I got to be patient. Any way nothing really has pissed me off lately other then myself and all i do is fight with myself. Eventually I will have something else that bothers me and trust me you ill hear about it.
Till then
Ciao!

PS Depending on how they treat my father I might b bitching about a certain Health insurance company....Mwahahahahaha
