So I've been reading some folks' blogs over the past week. I've come to a couple of conclusions:

1) The Internet is waaaay theraputic. Not only because of the whole "Journaling makes you happy" concept, but it's also because if you need to relate to someone, you just leave a comment. BAM. Your $.02 is in the bank, and nothing can do anything about it! The only thing is, if the blog is actually a forum, and it's moderated, then you run the risk of being unpopular.

There goes being someone you're not on the internet.

2) Things are not what they seem. People can talk behind your back... But can they talk behind yoru Yahoo! account?!? I think so. I mean, PM's are quite plentiful, but when's the last time you were in a chat room, and you were privvy to a conversation that happened while you were there, that you didn't participate in?

3) People seem to need porn. I don't know why, but I would argue that the internet is what you make of it. If you want to do a bunch of car stuff, then you've got car sites, blogs, forums, meetups, etc. If you want sex, then you've gotta pay for it. It just goes to show that those with lots of $$ probably aren't out there looking for better ways to improve their Fourier Transform hobby.

4) I really need a laptop. Anyone want to donate?

Okay, so those are my thoughts....

ONE MORE!

So my buddy paul and I were having a discussion about metrosexuals. I made the comment that because there are butch and affeminate straight and gay guys, then there were butch and affeminate metrosexuals. Paul made a good point (POINT!) by pointing out that metrosexuals isn't actually a sexuality. I guess my theory would apply to bi-sexuals, not metro sexuals.

But from this dialogue, we came up with the concept of a RURASEXUAL. A rurasexal is a butch straight man who might be confused with a butch gay guy. (Because a metrosexual is a straight guy who might be confused with an affeminate gay guy.)

• He dates, but they're usually friendship types of dates with the trailerpark's fag hag.
• He shops, but not at walmart; he shops at Target.
• He's into racing, but not NASCAR. No, he's into the Petite Lamon (or whatever)
• He hasn't had a date in a while, ever since friends went off the air.

There are some other nuainces, but I'm sure that they don't really matter as much as this guy's obvious affection for the way the vines drape his trailer's shutters.

Maybe I should submit this to the Blue Collar TV.
