Facebook Fail Friday #19 - Bad tenants

Hello ScoFans!

February Star #1 - Daisy
February Star #2 - OmegaRadium

I'll keep plugging these guys until I'm tired of it. You might be tired of it already. That's fine. But I'll keep plugging. I can do this all day. I can do this all day. I can do this all day. (Good on those of you who know where I stole that from. Wait a second, I'm off to start a YouTube clip)

Anyway, I debated whether or not to do Facebook Fail Friday this week. I had to though, with Valentine's day just around the corner and people rushing around desperately for a date at the last minute, I thought I'd let you all know.. it's okay. It's okay to be single on Valentines day.

It is way better to be single on Valentine's day than it would be to be dating one of these people..



But don't worry guys.. there's plenty of bad tenants to make you feel better about being single too..


And even if you did get a date, it wouldn't necessarily be all that great anyway...

February Stars #2 - OmegaRadium

Hello ScoFans!

Remember you can check out Daisy, the last February star here. Not a lot of people got there the other day. Go now. Don't make me hurt you.

Today's post is interesting. It's interesting in that.. I haven't read it. I have no idea what he talks about. He could be saying all sorts of mean stuff about me in there. But, when he started with a warning about Dexter Series 4 spoilers, I had to close my eyes and look the other way. And then I realised I could just close the window, which was hard to do with my eyes closed.

I will tell you though he is a great blogger. His posts are always interesting and he is great with words. But again, I'll let the post speak for itself. So here he is.. OmegaRadium...

The Women Who Change Us

*****DEXTER Season 4 SPOILER ALERT!!*****
IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED DEXTER SEASON 4, STOP READING NOW!
*****DEXTER Season 4 SPOILER ALERT!!*****

Hello ScoFans!

I'm OmegaRadium from the "Differential Diagnosis" blog and I'm here to deliver a special message to the readers. Despite what ScoMan may want you to believe, not all of us on the blogosphere are super models blogging in our spare time away from the New York & Paris runways. Well, at least not initially...

I don't believe I was ever a super attractive kid by any means. Sporting a Jim Carey “bowl cut” from “Dumb & Dumber” for much of my pre-high school years certainly didn't win me any fashion awards!

Throughout high school, I found myself lacking in my clothing style, my hairstyle, and even my smile, which in turn affected my confidence. Of course, I was completely clueless how I would remedy these issues, until I met this one girl. Sure, she broke my heart, but before all the heartache and tears, she cared enough about me to help set me straight and mold me into what would eventually become a better man.

As our love slowly blossomed over the years, so did my style. I ditched the glasses, changed my hair, and began wearing more "acceptable" clothes. The change wasn’t just physical, I mentally felt more confident and as a result, I slowly came out of my shell. I felt great, like a new person, and many of the same girls who wouldn't give the old me the time of day before, suddenly wanted to "get to know me better."

Nothing boosts a man's confidence more than having to turn down/reject a female's advances, especially one whom he'd have given anything to attract just years prior.

One of the most important things I've learned from these helping females is to, "MAKE AN EFFORT" to be who you want to be. When you make an effort to look nice, people will notice. Little things such as ironing your clothes, keeping your hair nice and neat, moisturizing, trimmed nails, and a clean shaven face can go a long way.

I guess the main point of this post is to thank all the females reading this for the time & effort they've put into helping their own boyfriends, ex-boyfriends, and any other men in their lives, towards becoming a better man. It's because of you caring females that this former "nerd" has evolved into a more "date-able" bachelor.

Why do I bring this up? Well, thanks to several of my friend's recommendations, and ScoMan's constant tweeting & blogging about Dexter, I finally gave in and started Dexter Season 1. Two months later, I finish watching Dexter Season 4.

*****DEXTER Season 4 SPOILER ALERT!!*****
IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED DEXTER SEASON 4, STOP READING NOW!
*****DEXTER Season 4 SPOILER ALERT!!*****

The realization of Rita’s untimely death at the hands of the “Trinity" killer truly broke my heart. Rita, like most women, just wanted what was best for her man. She helped bring Dexter out of his shell and slowly morphed him from a recluse into a full blown family man. Not your typical family man mind you, but she played a huge role in improving his quality of life nonetheless.

Sure the heartbreak sucked, and we may never truly get over it, but in the end, these caring women give us so much more than they could ever take by paving the way for us to become better men, and in turn have even better relationships in the future. So, thanks ladies! Rest in peace Rita Morgan.

Thanks for making your man a better man!














Yes I did press enter like 10 times to make sure I didn't read any of the end of the post. It's weird posting an entry here that I know nothing about. But I do know about his post "Dodging Bullets" that I quite enjoyed.

Thanks again OmegaRadium. I'm sure the post was brilliant.

I'll read it next Thursday, I promise.

Tune in on Sunday for my next February Star. Until then, make sure you check out the two already featured. Oh, and don't forget you can still contribute to the "Drunken Blogger" thing at the top of the screen.

February Stars #1 - Daisy

The first of my February stars, and also lifesaver who was willing to bring her guest post two weeks forward when I had a cancellation at the last minute is Daisy of 1,2,3... ELEVEN Petals. I won't talk up her blogging, I'll let her blogging talk for itself. I will say on a personal level she is also an incredibly friendly and nice person. Without further ado, the first of my February Stars... No need to build the suspense, you already know who it is. Take it away Daisy.

Hello ScoFans!! Happy Sunday!! My name is Daisy and ScoMan kindly asked me to guest blog for you all today. When he first asked me I was like, “Yeah sure! That’d be great!” and then I read his post last Sunday and GULP – talk about a little pressure!! Yikes!!

So I sent ScoMan a little FB message asking for content suggestions for this guest post and I bet you’d NEVER guess that he suggested I write about bestiality. HAHA! (Don't judge me. I was only trying to help based on what I know has worked with this audience in the past. You're the sickos, not me. Please don't leave though. I love you all you sick, sick freaks - ScoMan) But considering I didn’t even know what that meant or that people even did stuff like that until we learned about disordered sexual behavior in my Human Sexuality class in college, well, I don’t really have much to say on the topic.

And yeah … it’s true – I was a little sheltered and naive growing up in a land of butterflies and fairies. But no worries – I snapped out of THAT land REALLY fast when I hit – oh … about 21 – and now my happy rainbow land has a few moths and maybe a couple of skeletons (GASP!) along with lots of fairies, pretty bunnies and fluffy puppies. :) Wahoo!! wicked.

So anyway, ScoMan’s next suggestion was to give you a quick rundown of my blog. But because I don’t want to bore you too much I’m going to just give you a quick summary - I mean like text talk/twitter-ish/FB status short, quick. :)

How it began:

Love@1st-sighted an Aussie in Vegas. Moved 2 AUS 4 Grad School. CULTURE SHOCK! Heartbreak. Recovery and then a lil Aw! and WAHOO!! w/a dash of wicked.

And what is going on now:

Love@1st-sighted a Yank in Sydney. Traveled across AUS w/him. Got stranded, had some adventure, and then a lil Aw! and WAHOO! w/a dash of wicked.

So if you’re interested in that feel free to cruise over to my blog and check it out – if not – no biggie!! After all, from those quick descriptions it would appear that I play my life on repeat (omgosh it’s true!!) but I’m not going to talk about that today. YAY!! Today I thought I’d use this opportunity to talk about something I can’t talk about on my blog. Dating older men.

My apologies in advance to anyone this offends. I really have nothing against older dudes. I’m all for dating them – they have so much life experience – you can learn so much from them! etc. But recently I dated this guy and it KILLED me that I couldn’t blog about it. (ok actually there are TWO guys I’ve been dying to blog about) The first one was only like 42 but – one time I was lying down on his couch – and he leaned over to kiss me – and I opened my eyes and had to SHUT THEM IMMEDIATELY. Gravity had pulled his face into a wrinkly mess – and I swear he looked like my Grandpa!!! omgosh – lol. I didn’t know what to do!!! It’s like – I KNOW it’s about what’s on the inside that counts – but …well … umm … let’s put it this way … My mom told me this, “Honey the day you photoshopped the wrinkles out of his neck was the day I knew the relationship wasn’t going to last.”

Before:

After (and yeah I know – I added too much exposure to my face):

(Okay, I should have known that photo was photoshpped when you first used it. It's all so clear now- ScoMan)

AAALLLLRRRIIIGGGHHHTTTT and there you have it … I don’t know that I’d stoop to such photoshop lows now (I mean it has been 6 months and all – which means I’m like HEAPS more mature and stuff) unless you count my recent photoshopping fun on my blog as a new low… but umm … yeah ….

*uncomfortable silence*

Maybe I’ll skip the story about the other guy who seemed in shape but had to rest his head on the pillow when we made out because he wasn’t REALLY in shape …

Umm …

WHAT??

*another uncomfortable silence*

Oh I know!! I’ll throw in a few photos of a couple of highlights from other adventures I’ve blogged about to end on a high note. (Koala Park, New Zealand, Sydney and an Aerial view from a small chartered plane flying over the pink lakes in Western Australia) Have a great day!!

(Ha, you know how I feel about Seagulls. Couldn't resist could you Daisy? - ScoMan)

There you have it. Thank you very much Daisy for stepping up this week and for doing such a fantastic job of it. Remember, you can find Daisy's blog here but what I really recommend is finding a slab of time and going through a few of her recent posts.

If you like stories that involve betrayal, love, blood and wenchfaces you should read this series.. seriously, it's quite an adventure..

Ditched in a Foreign Country
UPDATE - Dang I wish I had my American ANYTHING
A Cemetery, My 101 List and some Blue Mountains
The Aquarium, the Wildlife Park, the Opera House and a Proposition
Brisbane and being ditched in Noosa
The Boiling Pot and the car that was SUPPOSED to be there but wasn't
The next installment - I let my guard down

And that's where she's left us hanging.

Tune in mid week for the next of our February stars.

Facebook Fail Friday #18- Watch your back

Hello ScoFans!

Remember how I said I wouldn't be writing for a month? Well, I did throw in one exclusion. And that happened this week. Yesterday in fact. So head over to Cheap Therapy and then book a plane ticket to Australia. Oh but check out some of her "Betty Files" before you book the ticket. Funny, funny stuff.

Another week has rolled around already and I know I for one am looking forward to the weekend. It's been such a long week. But you don't care about that, you're here to laugh! And laugh you shall..

They say a picture is worth 1,000 words, but sometimes, a picture says a little bit more than it's supposed to..

Sure the girl in the front looks like she's having a good time, but I'm pretty sure the guy in the background is having a pretty good time too.

Somebody get that man a tissue.
Do the words "Guy code" mean anything to you? Because I'm pretty sure that's on the list of no-no's.
The two girls in the front are having a good time anyway.

Don't worry guys. It took me awhile to spot the guy with his hands down his pants in the background as well.

And that concludes our broadcast day.

thisisTuesday #4

Hello ScoFans!

It's time for another round of thisisTuesday. First of all I got a few questions last week about the "homosexual" thing with neither Dexter nor Michael C Hall being homosexual. To the people that pointed that out, that is very observant of you, and you are correct. But Michael C Hall played David Fisher on Six Feet Under, and David Fisher is gay.

Hence David Fisher + Dexter + Michael C Hall traits all belong to Michael C Hall. Because it's all him, only him pretending to be not him.

You might have noticed the rules to this game change from week to week to fit whatever criteria I feel like fitting as I sit in front of my monitor.

Now for this week's duo...

Well that could be almost anybody. Will I see the week out? I don't know. Maybe you should all start a pool. I've got $10 on "Won't see Thursday"

Again, that could be anybody. I am drawn to things that make me laugh. It's also why I often push elderly people down the stairs (Don't look at me like that. If they'd fall themselves then I wouldn't have to push them)

Yep, they and all their readers know who they are now.

Wait, wrong one..



Oh well, I guess I did the celebrity at the same time. It's amazing the ideas you have to save time when one of your favourite TV shows is about to start and then you think "That's hilarious, I should be doing this anyway"

And a let's see where she volunteered and all learn a little lesson here..

Subtlety and reverse psychology don't work on me. Emotional blackmail will.

Until Friday...
