I want to start blogging more. There are a million reasons why I haven’t been and none of them are really valid. Reason #1 is that I’m still weirded out that every old high school classmate ever is reading this. That’s just not true. And even if it was, it doesn’t matter any more. These…

I saw the movie adaptation of Eat Pray Love this weekend. The elevator pitch is that it’s a privileged New Yorker lady traveling to different parts of the world to find herself after her failed marriage. Gun to my head, I actually like the movie. But I understand all the criticisms. The main character just…

I’ve really been enjoying just being on my own for the past few months. Sure, there’s the uncomfortable situation of never meeting any single girls but that’s an issue that can be addressed in due time. The important part is that I’m ok with being alone. I’m not standing at the precipice of a gaping…

The prelude to tongue-wrestling.

Cheers, darlin’. Here’s to you and your lover boy. Cheers, darlin’. I get years to wait ’round for you. Cheers, darlin’. I got your wedding bells in my ear. Cheers, darlin’. You gave me three cigarettes to smoke my tears away. The singer’s voice rasps through the speakers of my old Mazda hatchback; it’s a…

Ok you know what, I’ve laid down four different drafts and I just can’t get it right. I wanted to write and complain about girls but forget that. It’s not hard. It’s something people solve every fucking day and something they’ve been doing for millennia. If you think girls are hard then you should try…

I might be reading too many blogs because somehow I’ve taken on the stereotype of the failed twenty-something that moved to the big city to live out the dreams of Sarah Jessica Parker because my friends tell me, I am such a Carrie. Reading so many female authors has changed my coping mechanisms somewhat. I…

Diana says she finds it admirable that I stay single instead of just leaping into a relationship. That made me smile and I was geniunely happy to hear that. It’s not by choice, is what sprang to mind but in a way, I guess it is. At the end of the day, I’m responsible for…

Like I said, I went speed dating. It’s been a few days and I got my results… zero matches for a second date, one match for friendship and zero matches for business. Let’s just clarify that when I say “matches”, I mean “matches”. I don’t find out if someone ticked me for a second date…

Lachlan: what is this ‘i have butterflies about tomorrow‘ crap? me: lol u’ll see, it’s funny :D Lachlan: :( but i wanna know now! me: too bad. quid pro quo, clarice. Lachlan: yess, squid pro ro “Tomorrow” refers to today, of course. Let me just start with, I accidentally told my co-worker friend about my…

NSFW links: I’ve linked Todger Talk a few times before in the sidebar, I found these guys via The Girl. I like Todger Talk because it’s an attempt at opening the dialogue up to men. The site is not without its faults and a few incorrect male assumptions but overall, its heart is in the…

A week ago, I visited Match.com. The slogan on their ad campaign goes something like, “It’s ok to look!” And I read somewhere that you can browse profiles without signing up and I thought, “You know what, television? It is ok to look.” Now, I’ve spent my entire life online. I’ve heard all sorts of…

Ok, so it’s lame but today is January 7 and this is my blog so I’m going to post my New Year’s resolutions. I already did this earlier but these ones are more thought-out and funnier. If you don’t like it then you can go eat a can of worms. I’m going to be very…

I don’t usually recap my weekends because, let’s face it, nothing happens. I usually wallow in my own filth and play Xbox for 48 hours straight. I am serious bachelor material. However, this weekend was great! A perfect way to cap off 2007. Sure, there’s still New Year’s Eve to look forward to but I’d…

Right now? 9am on a Sunday morning. I’m trying to make sense of last night. I think I’m understanding this clubbing thing now. At least, I think I understand why some feel compelled to go practically every week to the same handful of clubs. I’ve started buying Jagerbombs. I used to buy beers all the…

Here are Jack’s vacation photos. There are a lot of them. So, I have finished uploading all the photos that I took in Japan. After trimming all the blurry photos, I have about 450 photos left. Yes, that’s still a lot but it was a two-week trip so you’ll have to cut me some slack….

I heard about the sale at Threadless from Tcritic but I didnt’ realise the sale was across the board. I thought it was for just the 2 shirts linked. I only discovered the truth later when I found out from Hui-Ai and Fay. Anyway: A message from your pals at Threadless.com Your order #[redacted] has…

I woke up this morning feeling a little sad. An aimless sort of sad with no name attached to it; a half-hearted impersonation of what I used to feel on those mornings that I woke up and pined for her. A faint echo of past rejection. Is it about a girl this time? Maybe, there…

The Sydney Morning Herald has a piece by Sam de Brito called All Men Are Liars where he discusses responses to an article about visiting a prostitute. I read this and I don’t believe there’s much of a grey area here. The guy is sick of the dating game and he visits a prostitute instead…

There is a fascinating article in the New York Magazine called The Myth of Porn. It talks about having men exposed to so much pornography isn’t turning them into rapists like some feminists predicted. But rather, it’s made men less interested in real women. Bad porn For the first time in human history, the images’…
