What happened to all the nice guys?

Found this interesting read on the net... for the girls who keep asking, maybe this (to some extend) can answer your question.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What happened to all the nice guys?

See, if you think back, really hard, you might vaguely remember that one guy pal who always seemed to want to spend time with you. He'd tag along with you when you went shopping, hang out for coffee, or even sit there and hold you while you sobbed and told him about how horribly the (other) guy that you were f***ing treated you.

At the time, you probably joked with your girlfriends about how he was a little puppy dog, always wanted to follow you around, trying to do things to get you to pay attention to him. They probably teased you because they thought he had a crush on you. Given that his behavior was, admittedly, a little pathetic, you vehemently denied having any romantic feelings for him, and buttressed your position by claiming that you were "just friends." Besides, he totally wasn't your type. I mean, he was a little too short, or too bald, or too fat, or too poor, or didn't know how to dress himself, or basically be or do any of the things that your tall, good-looking, fit, rich, stylish boyfriend at the time pulled off with such ease.

Eventually, your guy buddy drifted away, as your relationship with the boyfriend got more serious and spending time with this other guy was, admittedly, a little weird, if you werent dating him. More time passed, and the boyfriend eventually cheated on you, or became boring, or you realized that the things that attracted you to him weren't the kinds of things that make for a good, long-term relationship. So, now, you're single again, and after having tried the dating scene for several months having only encountered players and douche bags, you wonder, "What happened to all the nice guys?"

Well, you did.

You ignored the nice guy. You used him for emotional intimacy without reciprocating.. You laughed at his consideration and resented his devotion. You valued the aloof boyfriend more than the attentive "just-a-" friend. Eventually, he took the hint and moved on with his life. He probably came to realize, one day, that women aren't really attracted to guys who hold doors open; or make dinners just because; or buy you a gift that you mentioned, in passing, that you really wanted five months ago; or listen when you're upset; or hold you when you cry. He came to realize that, if he wanted a woman like you, he'd have to act more like the boyfriend that you had. He probably cleaned up his look, started making some money, and generally acted like more of an ******* than he ever wanted to be.

Fact is, now, he's probably fooling around, and in a way, your ultimate rejection of him is to thank for that. And I'm sorry that it took the complete absence of "nice guys" in your life for you to realize that you missed them and wanted them. Most women will only have a handful of nice guys stumble into their lives, if that.

So, if you're looking for a nice guy, here's what you do:

1.) Build a time machine.
2.) Go back a few years and pull your head out of your ass.
3.) Take a look at what's right in front of you and grab ahold of it.

I suppose the other possibility is that you STILL don't really want a nice guy, but you feel the social pressure to at least appear to have matured beyond your infantile taste in men. In which case, you might be in luck, because the nice guy you claim to want has, in reality, shed his nice guy mantle and is out there looking to unleash his cynicism and resentment onto someone just like you.

If you were five years younger.

So, please: either stop misrepresenting what you want, or own up to the fact that you've f***ed yourself over. You're getting older, after all. It's time to excise the bullshit and deal with reality. You didn't want a nice guy then, and he certainly doesn't f***ing want you, now.

So, what happened to all the nice guys you asked?
The answer is simple: you did.

Sincerely,
A Recovering Nice Guy

Cerekarama Malam Aidiladha

Darker than Transpotting or Fear & Loathing in Last Vegas, malam ni aku layan Requiem for a Dream for the first time.

Verdict: Jared Leto on par with McGregor and Depp. Excellent score by Clint Mansell / Kronos Quartet. (Check out the cool
Paul Oakenfold remix of Lux Aeterna here.)

A disturbing romantic tale for the lost generation. Nice one.

Maybe if you lie to yourself long enough, it might become real.

Somebody..ehem..might want this

What is it about doughnuts? We love 'em. This one's a USB drive, and it looks so scrumptiously delicious with its shiny chocolate glaze, you might have a hard time not taking a bite out of it. It's made by Redismo, a Chinese company whose creations you may have seen before, such as a miniature hamburger-shaped USB drive, or one that looks like a tiny loaf of bread. We'll give you a sneak preview: Coming up for November, the company has USB drives shaped like whiskey bottles, safety helmets, bowling pins and light bulbs. But for now, you can get this USB drive for just $3.63, that is, if you buy 500 of them. Right now, we feel like we could eat 500 of them. [Valvalo, via Technabob]

My obscure objects of desire - latest addition

The Yamaha Tesseract concept for Tokyo Motor Show is not a motorcycle. Because it's way more awesome than a motorcycle.

Featuring 4 wheels for enhanced stability, the frame is apparently still not much bigger than a normal bike. And somewhere in there fits two different engines, one gasoline of undisclosed size and another electrical (to dual impress biker chicks and eco babes, though probably offering some impressive performance payoffs as well). The important note to remember is that the Tesseract is not a motorcycle. Please spread the word and make sure every wife knows it while we pray Yamaha actually puts the...vehicle...into production.

We're also hoping to see the Tesseract transform into a Gundam robot and fulfill its true destiny. [autoblog]

The Origin

The moment he saw her alone.. coming out from the crowd,
dia rasa macam dalam scene Taxi Driver.
First time Travis Bickle nampak Betsy.. 4, 5 saat seterusnya, everything was in slow motion.

dia cakap dalam hati, dengan suara De Niro paling best dia penah buat;

They.. Cannot.. Touch.. Her..

Those lips...
She got these cutest lips.

It reminded him of something.

Apple merah favourite dia? bukan...
Sunrise paling cun dia penah nampak kat puncak Ledang dulu? Close.. tapi bukan jugak.
Something..something..
Dia terus carik carik but still he couldnt put a finger on it.

And then he got to know her a little.
Those lips are like cherry on a cake,
It makes the already sweet cake even more sweeeeeter.


Now he cant stop thinking of the cherry/lips.
Demmit!


Epilogue:
Dia minum air seteguk buat tekak yg dah kering dari tadi.
He need to think of another fruit..durian, oren, mangga, avocado, whatever...
selagi bukan cherry.

Time for another hit.

THE END

Its one of those nights


Stay by my side
as my light grows dim
as my blood slows down
and my nerves shatter with stabbing pain
as my heart grows weak
and the wheels of my being turn slowly

Stay by my side
as my fragile body is racked by pain
which verges on truth
and manic time
continues scattering dust
and furious life bursts out in flames.

Stay by my side
as I fade
so you can point to the end of my struggle
and the twilight of eternal days
at the low, dark edge of life

Father's Day Special


Father of Sony's Playstation, quits
TOKYO - The chief architect of Sony’s PlayStation game console stepped down Tuesday as the Japanese company struggles to defend its dominance in the video game industry and revive its reputation as an electronics pioneer.

Ken Kutaragi, 56, retired as Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.’s chairman and group chief executive, the gaming unit said Tuesday. The unit is now headed by Kazuo Hirai, SCE’s former president and chief operating officer.

Kutaragi had already been relieved of day-to-day responsibilities as president last year but stayed on as chief executive and chairman. In April, he announced his intention to retire from those positions this month.

Though no longer a board member, Kutaragi will hold an advisory post at the gaming unit, according to SCE official Sayoka Henmi.

The departure of Kutaragi, an icon among gamers, marks the end of an era at Sony Corp. that saw the company dominate the video game industry with its flagship PlayStation consoles.

But it also highlights troubles amid a series of blunders over the rollout of its PlayStation 3 and intense competition from Nintendo Co.’s Wii console and Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox 360.

( father and son)
Kutaragi’s most recent brainchild, the PlayStation 3, has been marred by embarrassing production shortages and a $600 price tag that some fans said was too steep. It went on sale late last year.

Tokyo-based Sony shipped 5.5 million PS3 machines in the fiscal year through March 31, fewer than the 6 million the company had targeted. Nintendo shipped 5.84 million Wii consoles worldwide during the same period.

The PS3’s hefty startup costs have weighed heavily on the company’s fight to drive up profit in its core electronics division. Sony is not expecting to post a profit in its game business until the fiscal year ending March 2009.

The flop has added to the woes facing the maker of the iconic Walkman, which has ceded its leadership in portable music players to Apple Inc.’s iPod.

Associated Press Updated: 10:36 a.m. ET June 19, 2007

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

iPod had beat the crap out of Walkman. Now look like xbox/wii is going to ass-fcuk PS3 soon.
Apa ni Sony... come on dude, we want to see some good healthy neck-to-neck competition.
Hope u'll get a new 'father' who can do something about this quick, PS3!

On other note, gue udah ada
God of War 2 (one of the best game on the PS2 console. ever.. kata critics..!)
I'll be Kratos starting this weekend...wargghhh..!

Sebab layan sakit tengkuk lagi elok dari layan jiwa kacau kau yg tak tentu hala tu...
for a few hours at least.

The Unnamed Feeling

Dan akhirnya terjawap jugak mini teki teki yg kau carik2 jawapan nya satu hari suntuk tadik.
Masalahnya, jawapan tu tak lah se ideal macam yg ko sangka.

Hitam putih hitam putih hitam putih hitam putih

tekak rasa kering
rongga rasa kosong
badan rasa lemah

Hitam putih hitam putih hitam putih hitam putih

Kau sape pada dia nak rasa kecewa?

Mother's Day Special

Mom: What are those?
Daughter: M & Ms.
Mom: Can I have one?
Daughter: No.
Mom: Why not?
Daughter: I paid for them.
Mom: And I gave you life. Now give me one.


God bless all the mothers of the world!

180 Darjah

7.28pm
Inbox Outlook dia tgk dengan muka macam tak de perasaan. 18 items yg ber due date minggu lepas, semalam, esok, minggu depan, bulan depan bersepah atas bawah.. Ada yg dah bertukar warna dari hitam ke merah.
Hari ini bukan satu hari yg cantik. Repeat - Bukan.
Last-last dia bukak winamp, sumbat telinga dgn earphone, naikkan volume.
Unearth - Giles.
Dia rasa macam bangsat.

9.34pm
Keajaiban berlaku! Satu suara dah berjaya memusing kan keadaan - 180 darjah. Selamba jek, just like that.
Dia suka suara tu!

Our Tunes of the 90s - Shelter's Mantra!


Arguably the most melodic and most pop-ish(!!) release by Ray Cappo and the gang, its 1995 Mantra beb...! (Waktu ko dgn aku tgh terkial2 carik identiti, isap rokok pon nyorok dalam toilet). Dah lama aku carik mp3 dia, baru minggu lepas jumpa. Memang tak sama la dengan sound analog kaset dgr pakai Walkman Sony/Aiwa dulu (rewind kaset pakai pen) but come close. Lirik masih relevant + make more sense now that we got older..hehe..
Aku tau kaset korang dah barai.. All together
now..!

Here We Go

Just see he uses love for sex
And sure she uses sex for love
And they're both hoping for the best
I also have that dream you're thinking of
We place a blindfold on our eyes
Iron and gold appear the same
It's intense hope that makes us try so we go on and play the game

#And once again we get attached and think we've found the answer
Here
Here we go again
Ran into many walls but I know I'll get that answer
Here
Here we go again

We loved not wisely
We loved not wisely but too well......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(seterusnya sambung sendirik yah?)


Ape cite memember kita yg hardcore kental sxe / vegan / krishna core / etc. dulu?
