Gay Boyfriend by Garfunkel and Oates

eric3579 says...

Got a man, call him my boyfriend
Think Im falling in love
Only man that gives me things
That I am worthy of

Hugs me and holds me, kisses my softly
Calls me back right away
Communicates his feelings to me
And cares what I have to say

He says: Baby I love you, baby I need you
Never gonna let you go
Writes me love notes, takes me shopping
And to Broadway shows

Talk to him like he is a girlfriend
Slumber party every night
Ive never been so happy before
Hes almost Mr. Right

But I think hes hot and I think hes sweet
And I think hes gay and I think hes neat
Okay okay said my boyfriends gay
But what does it matter anyway
He hasnt come out of the closet yet
Til then Ill take all I can get

He doesnt think I know but I know
I know Ive always known
He doesnt think it shows but it shows
For sure its always shown
You might think its a little sad
But hes the best lover that Ive ever had

At night when were lying in bed hes not hard
Its okay cause he gives me head
Like my mum always said it takes more
Than a pound to be good in bed
You dont know the meaning of rock your world
Til youve been with a guy who thinks like girl

He lies and says that hes on meds
Thats why hes never stiff
When I ask if hes not into me
He always says As if!

But the way he makes up for his shortcomings
Just could not be finer
Cause my new best friend is his tongue
And his is my vagina

He reappears from under the covers
Lookin like hes been to war
Hes drenched in sweat he catches his breathe
Then he heads back down for more

Afterwards hes never tired
He just wants to talk
And cuddle me until I sleep
Then he takes his dog for a walk

Someday hell come out and Ill be happy for him when he does
But I know Ill be sad and I'll be thinking of what was
Someday this fairy tale will come to an end
Cause his fairy tail will find a like minded friend

He doesnt think I know but I know
I know Ive always known
He doesnt think it shows but it shows
For sure its always shown
You dont need no penetration
When you got a good dose of overcompensation

At night when were lying in bed hes not hard
Its okay cause he gives me head
Like my mum always said it takes more
Than a pound to be good in bed
You dont know the meaning of slot machine
Til youve been with a king who thinks like a queen

I know it's not forever but that's okay
Cause I'm his girlfriend, and he's my gay!

Do you care what happens to your body when you are dead ? (Death Talk Post)

bareboards2 says...

Harvest what you can. http://videosift.com/video/Organ-Donor-PSA-rips-your-heart-out

Green burial the rest -- wrap in a shroud and throw me in the ground. Cardboard box optional. Let what is left of me feed some plants. Circle of life. (The mushroom burial suit would be cool. http://videosift.com/video/TED-Jae-Rhim-Lee-My-mushroom-burial-suit)

A lot of my family is buried in the same cemetery in Frederick OK. Aunts, uncles, grandparents, great aunts and uncles, cousins. A whole slew of relatives, all together. My parents have a double headstone with my brother's and my name already cut into the back, along with the grandkids' names. I figure that is my headstone, no matter where my bits and pieces are buried.

I always thought headstones were gross. But now I do take comfort from going to visit my mom. I never bring flowers. I bring a mini-Snickers bar and a quarter. She didn't care for flowers. She loved Snickers and playing the slot machines in Vegas, back when you actually used coins. So I take great delight in burying a candy bar and a quarter whenever I visit her.

Death is about life. Someone's life. You find ways to celebrate their life.

Those who are abused by the system tend to protect it the most.

>> ^Peroxide:

A lot of the (lower to middle class) right wing supporters that I meet, who endorse all sorts of values like, "don't tax the rich" and "don't help the poor," a lot of these folks seem to buy into the dream that someday they will be pulling in a million dollar salary, they will be rich. Or even that they could already be rich without taxes.
It's scary how the American dream makes slaves of the poor in much the same way that casino psychology works. "Just keep working the slots, someday I'll strike it rich, someday I'll achieve the dream." Just keep working at that job you hate,
someday...someday...someday...
Then one day, you wake up and you're life is over and you struggled the whole time, "pulling the slot machine handle," competing against everyone else instead of cooperating within communities for the common goals that are truly fulfilling.
It's obvious that markets work, but in my opinion extreme unregulated capitalism is addicting in the same way that gambling is,
Isn't it obvious who wins when you play the slots? There's a reason organized crime invests in casinos.

'Americans Elect' Group Challenges U.S. Presidential Primary

dystopianfuturetoday says...

I'm skeptical too, boise. This may be legit, but it may also be another astroturf venture designed to manufacture consent for some yet to be revealed agenda. It's hard to trust anyone in politics these days, and keeping your finances secret is not a good sign - you gotta figure the Citizens United ruling was part of some larger plan. Also, one of confirmed funders, Arno Political Consultants, has a track record of election fraud.

World of Warcraft - Cataclysm Cinematic Intro

westy says...

people that don't like wow are people that can see that wow is just a grind.

I can fully understand people that play wow casualy , and play it as you would play anny other game thats totaly fine , just going online doing some quests with mates maby spending 1 hour a night (or how many hours u normally spend on games) , or cuple hours a week thats fine and there are manny people that do play wow like that.


but the vast majority of people that play wow are deluded into this false sense of productivity , its like a cancer.

thats why the mechanics are bad its gr8 in a comercail sense , but in terms of game play its utter shit ( aside for people that are able to believe they are been productive)


its analogous to gambling ,in my opinion its fine for people to gamble every now and again and can be quite enjoyable despite the fact that pure gambling (slot machines bookies ect fixed odds betting) is rigged and you are going to lose , you can still find the enjoyment in it , its when people fall for the trap of thinking its a profitable thing , and get sucked into the emotional aspect of it.

Most successful MMOs aren't designed to be fun or have interesting gameplay; they're just meant to be addictive. If you specifically study their reward and economic mechanics you'll find them incredibly similar to slot machines, poker and blackjack: large investments yielding rare rewards which really only serve to encourage more investment.


And it works!!

Thing is Blizz'es games have been like that from Diablo 1. Compare Diablo vs Baldur's Gate and you'll see Diablo takes the most rewarding elements of an RPG like Baldur's Gate and focuses heavily on them. You kill a monster and just about any type of loot drops, Baldur's Gate only what the creature was actually carrying and using against you drops (to me this makes the game's environment seem more immersive and real, but Blizz'es method sells more copies). Diablo you level like mad, Baldur's Gate you only go up to about level 8 by the end of the game, etc etc. They built their success by appealing to the most rewarding elements of a game and upping that element greatly.

Now there's hosts of games that do the same thing, but Blizz started that trend, and it was perfect to carry over into an MMO.
