Alright, periodically i try to take little surveys that mean absolutely
nothing to anybody, but are fun to give and sometimes even garner me
comments, which we all know i am a huge whore for.So when you finish this post i would like you to leave a comment that
tells me what kind of things you really enjoy seeing on this site. You
can rank them in any order or just pick the one that is your favorite.
With that in mind here is stuff that pops up a lotThings happening in Japan
Wacky Sex and Porn Trivia
Recipes (usually in the reviews section of this site)
Random Links
How-To guides (like how to be a cheap date, how to survive by eating Costco samples, etc)
Surveys similar to this one
Political/Medical/World News
Things actually happening in my life (rants, events, my lack of a sex life)
PhotosSo yes, i am looking to revamp the site a little bit, and want to gear
it so you my readers get what you most enjoy. Fear not, you will still
see all these features and more, but i will try and do the popular ones
more oftenBut til then…
I am taller than Hitler! but shorter than Abe Lincoln
The Britney Spears Guide to Semi-Conductors. the best way to learn physics ever ;-P
The Best Cellphone attachement EVERWith those links out of the way, here is an etiquette tip. If someone
you do not know very well asks via email for the collective opinion of
people on the idea of naming her baby “Asia”, and you blurt out “like
the porn star?”—be very very very grateful that the mother to be is
not at that moment standing in front of youWhich leads us to porn…you see how smoothly i can make that segue?

This is a photo of the skin bar right near LAX, often referred to
fondly as “The Jet Strip” and where several friends took me for my 18th
bday. I like how they managed to correctly spell Are, proving that just
because you peddle smut doesnt mean you have to be hukt on foniks.
Also, the genital organs in question are apparently Live. I am not
quite sure what they were before, but hey live sounds like a huge
improvementAnd now i back away from porn to tell you a funny story. So when i
returned to North Chicago for orientation, you may recall my family
came with me. Specifically, my brother made the drive cross country. he
met many of my med school friends. Now those of you who read this often
have seen pics of my bro, and pics of me, but unless you know me in
person, i dont think you actually realize the difference in our
apperance.I am speaking specifically of the fact that Brian is broader, slightly
taller, and much much darker than me. He looks tan to my pale. So
one of my med friends asked another if she had met my brother. When
other friend said no, first friend said she thought Brian and I were
from different racesNOW do you believe in my paleness? It like he really IS my brother from another mother

A few quick thoughts before this train arrives at the station
This weekend, I am going with my roomate to purchase a plant for our
apartment. We will prob get this from Home Depot. When? I dont know.
Anytime we feel like, because Home Depot in Chicago is open 24 hours a
day! You can show up in your blood-stained gangster suit to buy your
shovels and garbage bags and cement at 4 in the morning! how convenient!Okay last thing…so there are a couple of cuties this year at the
school, but I have not yet managed to figure out if they are in
relationships. I know they are not married, because sadly the ring
check has become second nature…but i am curious as to what is the
best way to find out if either is available. Any suggestions?Now i could just ask them out straight out, but oddly i would feel less
awkward getting rejected because of their lack of interest than because
of their lack of availability. I am just weird like that.-J
Josh rolls down his window and asks you how much for a date

Weeee–look at me I have no life because I was just flaked on! Boo.
1. Recipes (LOVE them—but that may just be because I am a compulsive cook)
2. political/medical/world news—if I don’t get these from you I just don’t get them
3. things actually happening in your life (see how I changed my to your?! Huh, did ya?!? How grammar savvy am I?!)
4. how-to guides—did I miss the ‘how to survive by eating Costco samples’ one?
5. photos—always nice
6. random links
7. things happening in Japan
8. wacky sex and porn trivia—for Apryl, of course
9. surveys—while interesting, I rarely have the dsl to complete them : )
Woooo
I just sub’d to you, so…dazzle me.
send in the bahram
you didn’t mention if the links were “smiley-safe” so i chose not to click on any of them. you’re gonna be buying a plant from home depot??? hahaha, good luck. can you make sure to name the plant something fun like “howard” or “lorenzo”??? unless you end up buying a super cool plant, cause then it should be named “krystal”
.
how to guides are definately No. 1. original and usually amazing. no. 2 has got to be sex. No 3. is things happening in japan and recipes gets an honorable mention.
to be honest. since i think i have the right as one of your best commenters. i think you scare a lot of people off because most of your entries are long winded and very random. i think some of the best sites are organized into a only 1 or 2 topics a post. you are all over the place. i try to read most of it, but it sometimes i get lost in translation. so to revamp your site i would concentrate on making one thing good and wait to write about everything else. i have done that and it seems to have created a lot of success. i saw a higher comment count. i also try to keep my site interactive. give them a reason to comment. i think you do that, but there is just too much sometimes. sometimes less is more.
ganbatte!!! good luck!!!
