When judging one's character it might help to use a scale from -5 to 5. One end is the dark side and opposite end is a the light side. If we could rate people based on these qualities and some kind of algorithm to grade on certain situations then we could the high probability of how peoplw would act in specific situations.
I'm cynical, but people are so predictable.
(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer=2 0back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question or Faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' ... that will bring on a 'whatever').
(8) Whatever: Is a women's way of saying F*** YOU!
(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.
Life has a lot of weird 'caught in between' phases. The current path doesn't seem promising but taking another one seems to be a regress. I can't remember where the 2 decisions were good or even better. Those are always too true to be real. Anyways, so I noticed a pattern when it comes to these weird quirks.
People usually take 2 options. One is stay in between while their whole world comes crumbling down OR some unforeseen but very welcome third random option presents itself. To an outsider the third option looks ridiculous and foolish.
I've had a long week, I can't think right now so this blog post will go unfinished and almost regrettable just like a bunch of others. UGH
My Sundays always seem to get away from me, because of football. I watch games I don't even have fantasy players in much less a gambling, or rooting interest and even if the game sucks, I'm satisfied. Luckily, I'm starting to find things to do during the games to make sure I'm still productive, but I wonder if I'm wasting my time??
I can watch the first half of a game on at the gym on the elliptical and then catch the fourth quarter at home while I'm making a meal. Sounds like a solid plan, eh?
Success doesn't happen over night all the time. So I'm hoping that I'm not wasting my time here. Check this out

There comes a point with your existing friends that the friendship doesn't have any more value. This is coming from someone who has grown hypercritical on spending time with people where the give and take is imbalanced along. What I mean is, just because you know someone your whole life, doesn't mean you need to know them for the rest of your life.
I think you can out-grow friends and you can also have particular friend whose needs fit at the time and don't fit anymore. This comes off very selfish but from what I've been experiencing everyone is selfish and self-absorbed. So I've reached the conclusion for myself that I need to do the same thing. I can keep it transparent and let others know that hey, I used to do nice things for everyone and I used to be considerate for everyone.
I used to be very understanding and longer you've known me the easier it is to get me to do things for you or walk all over me. I'm not participating in those types of relationships any further. I'm going to be showing a much more transparent side and people aren't going to like it.
Nothing says exhaustion and strain like dark circles under your eyes. The problem is, you may be getting plenty of sleep every night and still wake up with puffy raccoon eyes. Now what? Read on to find out why you get under-eye circles and how to reduce their appearance or get rid of them altogether.
Causes of Dark Circles
Dark circles are often a heredity trait. The skin around our eyes is the most delicate and thinnest skin in the body. Dark circles under the eyes are blood vessels that can be seen through the skin, producing the bluish tint.
Allergies are another common cause of dark circles. When you rub and scratch your itchy eyes, it irritates the skin and can break tiny capillaries beneath the skin, causing puffiness and discoloration. If allergies are the root of your problem, simply treat them or avoid what you're allergic to. If your dark circles or puffiness are constant, you may have an undetected food allergy or an allergy to a chemical in your surroundings. Consult an allergist to determine what you may be allergic to.
Chinese medicine considers dark circles as a sign of weakness in the kidney network. Kidney weakness is due to exhaustion and overstrain coupled with lack of rest and relaxation. Since the kidney network in Chinese medicine governs the hormonal system, it affects the pigment melanin. It is said that unhealthy and depleted kidneys produce pigment deposit under the skin around the eyes and other parts of the face.
Many cosmetic problems can be attributed to vitamin deficiencies. Dark circles and puffiness are often thought to be due to vitamin K deficiency or a lack of antioxidants in the diet.
It is also believed that lack of the mineral iron can cause dark circles. An iron deficiency may point to anemia, which is a potentially serious medical condition that requires treatment. If you believe you may have anemia, see your family doctor to schedule blood work.
Dark circles occur more frequently and are more noticeable with age, because as we get older, our skin loses collagen and becomes thinner and more translucent.
Under-eye Remedies
Reduce the puffiness and lighten your circles with these all-natural solutions.
1. For starters, be sure you are getting seven to nine hours of sleep every night.
2. What you eat counts! Eat a healthy, balanced diet, drink plenty of water, and make sure you are getting all your vitamins and minerals. Be sure to get plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially cabbage, spinach, and other leafy greens. Eat at least 2 cups of organic fresh spinach everyday. Additionally, eat a handful of raw almonds (unsalted and unroasted) between meals. Avoid salty foods, as salt causes the body to retain water, which equals bloating and puffiness that is particularly noticeable under the eye.
3. Asian pear is a juicy and crunchy fruit that has long been prized by Chinese herbalists as a way to lighten under-eye circles. Asian (or Fuji) pears are packed with copper and vitamin C, antioxidant nutrients that help protect you from cellular damage caused by free radicals. When free radicals damage enough skin cells, signs of aging begin to appear. Copper is an essential component of superoxide dismutase (SOD), an enzyme that attacks these harmful agents when they enter the body via air pollution and other toxins.
4. Treat your skin while you sleep. Just before bed, lightly wet a washcloth with cold water and place over your eyes as you sleep. By morning, you should see an improvement.
5. Apply cucumber slices or cool tea bags to your eyes. Cucumber slices are famous for their ability to reduce puffiness, and the tannin in tea bags has been found to reduce swelling and discoloration. Lie down, close your eyes, and place fresh cucumber slices or cool, damp caffeinated tea bags over your eyes for about ten minutes every day.
6. Gently apply almond oil under your eye every morning and evening until you see improvement.
7. New skin-care technology has become available through years of intensive research; it is now possible to find creams and other products that can help you combat under-eye circles. A product I suggest is an all-natural anti-aging eye cream that lightens dark circles under the eye. For more information, click here.
8. Avoid smoking, as it causes vascular problems that not only threaten your health, but also make your blood vessels appear more prominent under the skin.
Treating your skin will help, but there may also be an underlying cause. Imbalances in your life show up on your face and skin. You may consider seeing a doctor of Oriental Medicine to uncover the root imbalance and improve your overall health.
I hope you will take these tips and put your best face forward. I invite you to visit often and share your own personal health and longevity tips with me.

This disgusts me. Its abhorring to read that these women see us men as addicts. Ofcourse being the advocate and the owner of a fantasy football league I know that it ccan be time consuming...
But maybe ou should've married someone who could prioritize better.
