It's over when the fat lady sucks ...

Elizabeth's apology to Brad:

Brad,

It would be difficult for me to be any more miserable right now, I feel like the worst person ever. First, let me start by saying that I am truly truly sorry, and I hate myself for hurting you. Of all the people in the whole entire world, you were honestly the last person that I would ever want to wrong in any way. There is no excuse at all or anything that happened, so I won't even try other than to say all of us had WAY too much to drink, and I did a stupid thing.

I can handle you being pissed at me, I absolutely deserve it, I can even handle the ugly words that were exchanged between us, what I can't handle is thinking that you see me as a different person. It is weird, I feel like I just went through a horrible break up or something. The world looked funny yesterday, I couldn't crack a smile if you paid me, there are songs I can't listen to, and I just feel beyond crushed.

I don't know if you meant everything you said to me, and I am hoping that you didn't. I know that I was wrong on many levels, but I am also hoping that this is something that we can deal with. I know it sounds totally crazy and stupid, but you have come to play such a significant role in my life, I can't imagine my days without you. It is totally strange and weird to say that, and you could say that my behaviour didn't reflect that, and you would be correct.

I hate feeling like you hate me, and I hate feeling like all of your friends think I am a terrible person, because I am not. I know there is nothing I can say or do to take back what happened, but I just want you to know that fighting with you was just about the worst thing I could have ever imagined. It was right up there with one of the ugliest nights of my life, and I would give anything in the world to rewind and fix it.

I am not sure if you will respond to this, part of me thinks that you won't. If not today, then maybe some other time. Also, thanks for getting my stuff together, although I think my sunglasses are still at your house, if you could keep your eyes peeled for them that would be great. I can't even focus or work today, I can't eat, I seriously feel like it was an ugly break up, and I am hoping against hopes that it was not that and you are not done with me. Please don't cut me off, I really don't think I can handle that.

I am so sorry.

Elizabeth


Brad's response:

Dear Elizabeth,

Thank you for your concern. I'll be sure to file it away under "L" for "Long-winded diatribes from drunken whores I couldn't care less about".

You did a "stupid thing", huh? Not at all ... doing long division and forgetting to carry the one is a "stupid thing"; mixing in a red sock with a load of whites is a "stupid thing"; blowing some guy in a bathroom for 45 minutes while I sit at the bar wondering if you're taking so long because you ate too much bran that morning isn't as much a "stupid thing" as it is grounds for permanent removal from my social calendar.

To be honest, I'm not sure if it was more amusing that you went and degraded yourself in a public toilet not once but twice in a 2-hour span, or that you seemed to think that by saying: "Well, I didn't f**k him!" somehow gave you a clean slate. So forgive me if I couldn't care less if the world "looked funny" to you yesterday. Since your world revolves around blow dryers, golden retrievers, Prada Bags and Jelly Beans, I'm sure it must have been most unsettling to actually have considered someone else's feelings for a whole day.

The good news for you is that my friends don't think you're a "terrible person", they just think you're the average, run-of-the-mill, cum-guzzling blond who commands about as much respect as your average child porn collector. I could be wrong but, it's pretty hard to respect some chick who comes out to spend the night at my place even though she's seeing someone else in New jersey and winds up tongue-bathing the taint of anyone who decides 30 minutes of droning commentary on Colin Farrell's new haircut is worth putting up with for a hand job in the men's room. The good thing about being a guy is that when I eventually bump into the young lad who finger-blasted you on top of a towel dispenser last saturday, we'll have a shot and laugh our heads off about the time it happened.

By the way, for the amount of time you claim to spend in spin class you really must be doing something wrong to sport the thunder thighs you do. Watching you parade around my bedroom in a thong was a little like watching sea lions mate. Thought you might like to know.

Talk to you never,

Brad

PS. I BCC'd about 100 people on this email.

International Harm Reduction Association

International Harm Reduction Association: "Estimated expenditure on cannabis in Australia is twice that of wine
Three facts about marihuana prices.Clements KW. The Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics. 2004. 48:2; 271-300.
The price of cannabis has declined more than 40% (4.9% p.a.) in real terms during the 1990s, far greater than for most other agricultural products. Cannabis price may be declining because of increasing use of more efficient hydroponic cultivation techniques and also because decreasing law enforcement lowered the 'full cost' of cannabis. The number of national arrests and prosecutions per 100,000 population fell by almost one third between 1996 and 2001. Penalties also became less severe. If cannabis price had been constant, consumption of beer would have been 2.4% higher, wine 4.9% higher, spirits 9.8% higher and cannabis 10.4% lower.
Comment: As the health, social and economic costs of alcohol are greater than for cannabis, decreasing cannabis prices may have reduced harm from legal drugs."

Why Your Wife Won't Have Sex With You

Of Orgasm and Effort


LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Women who have difficulty reaching orgasm can blame it on their genes.

Like heart disease, anxiety and depression, scientists discovered in a study of 1,397 pairs of female twins that there is a genetic basis to female orgasm.

"We found that between 34 percent and 45 percent of the variation in ability to orgasm can be explained by underlying genetic variation," said Tim Spector, of the Twin Research Unit at St Thomas' Hospital in London.

"There is a biological underlying influence that can't be attributed purely to upbringing, religion or race."

Other studies have attributed differences in the ability to achieve orgasm to cultural, religious and psychological factors.

Between 12 to 15 percent of women don't have orgasms compared to about 2 percent of men. Males are also quicker at 2.5 minutes, while the average time it takes for a woman to reach orgasm is 12 minutes, according to Spector.

"Why is there this biological difference between the sexes? The fact that some of this is heritable suggests that evolution has a role," he told a news conference.

Spector suggested reaching an orgasm could be a way for women to assess whether a man would make a good long-term partner. It may also increase fertility, according to some theories.

In a study of identical and non-identical twins published on Wednesday in the journal Biology Letters, Spector and his team found huge variations when they surveyed them about sexual problems.

One in three women, or 32 percent, said they never or infrequently had an orgasm. But 14 percent said they always had an orgasm during intercourse.

"More women were able to orgasm during masturbation, with 34 percent always reaching orgasm," the researchers said in the journal. ...

"There is something biological that explains some of this large variation between women," he said, adding that many genes could be involved. ...

But Spector said orgasm is a very complex process which is poorly understood. Little research has been done because it is still a taboo subject. Anatomical and biological features and psychological factors may all play a part.




As someone remarked in the discussion where I lifted this article, only 34% "always" reaching orgasm during masturbation seems extremely low. You wonder why a person would bother masturbating if they couldn't get the payoff. But perhaps there was an alternate, "almost always" answer that could be chosen on the survey. Even I have been known to give up on Getting There a time or two.

A person really can be "too pooped to pop" sometimes. Trying to work up the necessary muscular, neurological and vascular tension to get over the top is genuinely tiring. It seems almost effortless if you only have to work for 2-3 minutes to Make It, but when you have to strive for a quarter of an hour or more, sometimes -- in prospect at least, and at the end of a long day -- the work-to-benefit ratio doesn't recommend itself.

This is part of what men don't understand. For them (and yes, I'm generalizing, get used to it), sex = fabulous pleasure from a minimum amount of physical work. Although they may have to work pretty hard to get their partners off, the actual sex part is always great. Guaranteed. But intercourse can begin to seem like a boring, messy chore if you're not going to get off from it. And it looks like almost a third of women can't make it that way. There are many others who only have orgasms from intercourse intermittently, and that means they have had many experiences of working long and fruitlessly toward... nothing.

And consider how appealing this effort would be with a partner who bores, sickens or infuriates you. Do you resent your wife? Do you carry around a load of anger against her? Is she physically unappealing to you now? Okay, whatever. Here's the question: Given your feelings (justified or not) if it was going to take you 15 minutes of tense effort to get off AND you only got there 25% of the time anyway, even after all that work, wouldn't you be a little reluctant to put out for her?

Don't you wish your wife was one of the lucky 14 percent who "always" have orgasms during intercourse?

She wishes she was, too.

Former top footballer jailed for rape





2005-06-22 HKT 16:03





A former goalkeeper for Hong Kong's National Football team has been jailed for five years, after he was convicted of raping his Filipino domestic helper three years ago. Lau Tung-Ping was originally sentenced to six years jail at his trial in 2003. He was awarded a re-trial but was again convicted. In sentencing, Mr Justice Pang Kin-Kee said he'd reduced the minimum 6-year prison term for rape by a year, after taking into account defence pleas for leniency.


DJ Niall says:
Tip of the ice-berg ... castration is too good for those who think that domestic helpers are servants to be abused with impunity.
But I am against cpaital punishment: it wouldn't be right to cut off anyone's nuts or anyone's head. FOr one thing, the justice system is not perfect and innocent men do get convicted. Just ask any random group of prisononers and as many as 100% might be innocent!
Anyway, I am a little consoled by the knowledge that rapists are automatically confined to the lowest levels of the hong kong prison inmate ranking system. Just above or around the same as that of paedophiles, I would think.
So what does that mean in practical terms? It means they will find it much harder to get a well-paying job (e.g. $300 per month as a 'skilled' worker in one of the workshops) and will likely suffer from regular verbal abuse and occasional -- but generally non-life-threatening -- physical threats. Come to think of it, they will be treated more or less as a 'fag' in one of England's 'public' schools would have been in the 19th century ...

Reasons for having more sex ...

Ten reasons for having more (some?) sex ...
9 if you're a guy.

Found these somewhere ages ago and saved them. It needs to be shared! It has this question:


Did you know that you can tell from the skin whether a person is sexually active or not?

No, I didn't? How? Anyone know?



  1. Sex is a beauty treatment. Scientific tests find that when women make love they produce amounts of the hormone estrogen, which makes hair shine and skin smooth.

  2. Gentle, relaxed lovemaking reduces your chances of suffering dermatitis, skin rashes and blemishes. The sweat produced cleanses the pores and makes your skin glow.

  3. Lovemaking can burn up those calories you piled on during that romantic dinner.

  4. Sex is one of the safest sports you can take up. It stretches and tones up just about every muscle in the body. It's more enjoyable than swimming 20 laps, and you don't need special sneakers!

  5. Sex is an instant cure for mild depression. It releases endorphins into the bloodstream, producing a sense of euphoria and leaving you with a feeling of well-being.

  6. The more sex you have, the more you will be offered. The sexually active body gives off greater quantities of chemicals called pheromones. These subtle sex perfumes drive the opposite sex crazy!

  7. Sex is the safest tranquilizer in the world. IT IS 10 TIMES MORE EFFECTIVE THAN VALIUM.

  8. Kissing each day will keep the dentist away. Kissing encourages saliva to wash food from the teeth and lowers the level of the acid that causes decay, preventing plaque build-up.

  9. Sex actually relieves headaches. A lovemaking session can release the tension that restricts blood vessels in the brain.

  10. A lot of lovemaking can unblock a stuffy nose. Sex is a natural antihistamine. It can help combat asthma and hay fever.

Setting the scene ...

Just in case anyone does end up reading this blog ... that means YOU, Baby (or Man) ... if you're not familiar with the discos and bars in Wanchai, you're not going to fully appreciate this blog ... so the first thing I thought I'd do is give you a little 'tour by blog' of Hong Kong's notorious yellow-light district, Wanchai ... known by those who frequent its haunts as The Wanch!

But as I'm a bit busy now trying to pick up girls on Yahoo chat, I'll do that later! :-)
