  • You may have read this before. So have I. But I thought it was funny so I posted it. Enjoy.

    The Guys' Rules  
    At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down 

    Finally , the guys' side of the story.
    (
     I must admit, it's pretty good.)
    We always hear
     
    "the rules "
    From the female side.

    Now here are the rules from the male side. 
    These are our rules!

     Men are NOT mind readers.

     Learn to work the toilet seat.
    You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
    We need it up, you need it down.
    You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

     Sunday sports. It's like the full moon 
    or the changing of the tides.
    Let it be.

     Shopping is NOT a sport.
    And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

      Ask for what you want.
    Let us be clear on this one: 
    Subtle hints do not work!
    Strong hints do not work!
    Obvious hints do not work!
    Just say it!

    Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

    Come to us with a problem
     only if you want help solving it. That's what we do.
    Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

     A headache that lasts for 17 months is a
     Problem, Go See A Doctor!

     Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. 
    In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.

     If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls,
     don't Expect us to act like soap opera guys.

     If you think you're fat, you probably are.
    Don't ask us.

     If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the 
    other one 

    You can either ask us to do something
    Or tell us how you want it done.
    Not both.
    If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

     Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials. 

    Christopher Columbus did
     NOT need directions and neither do we.

     ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
    Peach, for example, is a fruit, not 
    A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
     
     If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong. 
    We know you are lying, but it i s just not worth the hassle.

     If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.

     When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... 
    Really . 

    Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, football, the shotgun functions or
     golf.

     You have enough clothes.

     You have too many shoes.

     I am in shape. 
    Round IS a shape!  If you don't think Round is a good shape for you, do something about it!

     Thank you for reading this.
    Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight.  But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping. 

    Pass this to as many men as you can -
    to give them a laugh.

    Pass this to as many women as you can -

    to give them a bigger laugh

    ...sweeter...

    I once believed love to be as sweet as honey.

    And I still do.

    But I no longer believe it to always be as thick.

    Sometimes it flows like water, tossed this way and that way by the rocks and boulders fate throws in its path, picking up the bitter flavors lying in the shadows. Sometimes we don't know where the currents are taking us. And we fear.

    I once believed love to be as sweet as honey, and I still do.

    It is the bitterness that must be overcome.

    Like Raindrops On My Window

    There are few things in this life as endearing to me as the sight of raindrops on my window. We are at that time of year where there are few rainfalls left. Warmth is leaving the air and a chill is invading the night. A different form of beauty is preparing to take the stage...

    ...though her touch is cold, she is not without her own charms.

    Though the clouds will obscure my view of the moon, I can still watch with childlike wonder as snow falls to the earth. I can allow myself to be moved by the slow motion serenity of silver lights glittering in the frigid night air and let myself believe for a tiniest instant that time has slowed down,

    and this moment is mine...

    ...made exclusively for me.

    This is coming. But for now, I'm enjoying the last of the rains.

    So as I was looking at this photo my sister took of a window in my old apartment, decorated with lime candles and potpourri, I was inspired to paint. Though this piece is a digital painting, I feel the way I do when I paint with traditional media. I felt really good. I hope that my feeling come across in this piece. I hope that those who see it catch some of the intense serenity I felt as I laid down these brush strokes.

    Candles At My Window

    I just finished this piece a few hours ago. I started it some time ago but it took awhile for me to feel motivated to go in and finish it. It seems that the inspiration I felt with the painting of my window has continued. And so I will ride this wave of inspiration for al it is worth... until there is nothing left of it.

    That's all for now. Let me know what you think.

    It is starting to get cold again. And the darkness is coming a little earlier every night. However, the moon manages to remain beautiful everytime I see it, even though the nights are kinda lonely when it's not there. But there really isn't too much I can do about that.

    I still haven't gotten my traditional art back. But I guess I'm starting to get used to it. My canvas is now a plasma screen and my brushes have been replaced with a Wacom pen tablet. Fair exchange is no robbery, I guess. Still...

    I miss it...

    This is the latest piece I completed.

    Adwoa-web

    Though this piece was deeply personal to me, and though I put my heart and soul into it, I am feeling as if my feelings didn't shine through. I think that this one was only personal to me and that it doesn't speak to the heart I was reaching for. But I guess that can't be helped. Especially since I can never be with those I paint.

    Sometimes I feel like the wolf howling at the moon--it will never know if the moon heard its voice, or whether its love song was lost in the vacuum.

    Here are some works in progress:

    Rhapsody of Sublime Decadence

    Rhapsody-of-Sublime-Decadence

    Listlessly Restless

    Listlessly-Restless

    That's all for now.

    @lastquantum - Yea, I like that Nathaniel has grown so much.Jason is my second fave character too! He's so mature for his age and is, like, a counsellor to Anita but can't solve his own problems. I find him so cool! I read on Laurell K Hamilton's blog that the latest book might have a bit more of As

    @chewysweet - Asher is very cool. I love how very real his insecurities are and how they affect his life. I think Nathaniel is my favorite character, though.

    @lastquantum - Hope I'm not spamming your board, lolx! I hate Richard too! I think his anger management and whatever issues he has need to be dealt with. It has been talked about for 6-7 books already? OMG!! My fav character is Asher! So cool!
