Another Wildcat Update

What a Saturday it was for the Arizona Wildcats. In-state rival, Arizona State, played very tough agianst the Cats, as they came storming back from being down by 15. With 14 seconds to go and the gamed tied at 68, Stoudamire had the ball in his hands. ASU knew it, and he knew it as well: he was going to take the last shot. Stoudamire is well known for his 3 point shooting (by the way, you east coast whores, Stoudamire IS THE BEST SHOOTER IN THE COUNTRY, NOT J.J. REDDICK), but did he take the 3? Nope, he drove up the key and jump shot it with one hand. The tension rose as I was on my feet. And with six-tenths of a second left, the shot sunk and I jumped for joy, shouting YES at the top of my lungs. We had won the game, but it meant a whole lot more. Lute Olson is now the winningest coach in Pac 10 history over the UCLA great, John Wooden. Olson now has 305 career Pac 10 wins over Wooden's 304. Also, I rooted for Stanford for the first time in my life (God forbid). There was a good reason and that was that they beat Washington, who was looking for their first Pac 10 title in their school history. With Washington's loss and Arizona's win, Arizona is the sole Pac 10 regular season Champ (as it should be). The Pac 10 Tournament begins this Thursday, with Arizona clinching a number 1 seed. They will play 8 seeded California. If Arizona wins, they will move onto the semi finals against the winner of the UCLA Oregon State game Friday. Should Arizona win the Pac 10 Tournament, look for them getting a 1 seed in March Madness.

GO CATS!

How to be thin the Incorrect way

The following I am about to post should NOT be attempted by ANYONE, especially ANY girls who actually read my blog (I doubt any do beyond my class). If you do read this and attempt to do these tips, I cannot be held responsible, as they are not my opinions AND I am merely stating MY opinions of these tips.

One night, my friend, Sean, sent me a link over AIM. I was a bit hesitant as to what was on it, since he had never sent me links before, but I clicked on it. The result was absolutely shocking and rather disturbing.

It gave tips on how to be anorexic AND bulimic!

As I read through, I felt more and more pleased with myself, but also, I felt sympathy with the men and women who actually follow this crap! What in the living HELL happened to exercise? What about low-carb diets??? My mom lost so much weight on a low-carb, walking 2 miles a day, plan and she looks wonderful!

Oh, I see now, it doesn't produce FAST enough results...

Good lord, impatience is going to be the ruin of society.

I'm 235 pounds, I have a stomach that sticks out, but I am no blimp. I don't eat too much junk food and I work out every morning before class. So what if I don't have bulging muscles? So what if I'm not thin? I don't WANT to be thin. Why? Because being big is intimidating. I am 6'2" so I don't look like some absolute blimp. I can breathe well, walk well, run well, and perform well on activities. I don't have heart problems, illnesses, or anything related to my body's shape.

Oh, I get it, it's that damn IMAGE crap the media stuffs down you sheep's throats everyday. I see.

Well, it's time I told you sheep the truth then. THEY USE LIPOSUCTION!

There are a few celebrities out there that actually and honestly diet, but it is a VERY low collection. Anna Nicole Smith, though I admire her breasts, did not lose all that weight on trimspa. Trimspa has been working on my friend, Julie, but did it ever occur to you celebs have lots of money and therefore can take shortcuts? Kristie Alley is using Jenny Craig apparently. I can believe that a little more seeing she is still fat, BUT, I wonder if she will become magically thin out of the blue like Smith did.

Everyday, we are exposed to magazines, movies, TV shows, and Girls Gone Wild. Some magazines give good advice, I agree, but you don't have to totally conform to what they tell you. Keep in mind that, like what I say, they are just opinions. We see thin women in movies, on television, and on GGW. It's ENTERTAINMENT. I am sick and tired of seeing girls mad about their bodies, especially if they are thin and call themselves fat. I am sick and tired of big guys being upset or commiting suicide because they watch GGW or movies and feel terrible because they can't get women like that. WHO CARES? Movies and TV are entertainment and escapes, not reality shows (and I mean it, survivor, fear factor, etc, ARE BULLSHIT). GGW is jack off material, not I am so ugly, I need to be/bewith someone like that.

Boney women disgust me. I hate it when I can see a woman's ribcage. That's not sexy, that's just...sick. I hate it when guys think they absolutely MUST be with thin women. Heh, well, if you're thin, you'll instantly get one. The truth is, looks DO matter. Anyone who disagrees is wrong, I am sorry. The inside only counts AFTER the physical attraction. I have to be physically attracted to a girl before I get to know them, now don't I? Big women (not REALLY big, I am sorry, but no matter how sweet you are, I am not attracted to huge women) don't really disgust me. If they have a stomach, big deal, they might have something else I like (chest, face, eyes, etc). Big guys shouldn't be ruled out either. Despite the fact that I have a stomach, girls think I am cute. Yeah, you can easily say, they are just saying that to make you feel better. Well, the ones that said I was cute dated me, a few even started long-term relationships with me.

The bottom line is this: you don't have to be thin to live in this world. The media is wrong to try and make you feel guilty just because you don't have DD breasts or you don't have rippling muscles or anything else they try and throw at you. You are you and that's that. Like what you want to like, even if others say its geeky or stupid. Do what you want to do in life. NEVER let go of your dreams, no matter WHAT people say about being in the real world (yes, things won't always go your way, as these adults who go to college and have been out there tell me, but I'm not going to be absolutely miserable about it like they are). All in all, BE YOUR GOD DAMN SELF.

So, what type of person are you, Grey Fox?

Based off of a lot of the blogs I have been making, many of you have possibly come to these likely conclusions of my character:

  • You are an asshole
  • You are cynical
  • You are arrogant
  • You have a big ego
  • You are stubborn
  • You must lead a sad life

All of these are fair assumptions to make, but I am here to clarify who I am by separating the facts from the opinions

Yes, I am an asshole. I'm not the pussy kind, I'm the jackass kind. I had a rough childhood, not in the sense of family, more in the sense that my peers never accepted me. I was always mad, always caring what others thought of me, and always letting others push me around. When I entered college, my freshman year was a HUGE learning experience. I learned how to handle people on how they perceived me, their different opinions, and many other issues. I finally grew up at the age of 20 (not fully, just enough to notice a difference in my attitude) and developed a sarcastic attitude. The way I figure is this, why be mad at yourself and others when you can make fun of it? If you make a mistake, learn from it, of course, but tease yourself. It'll make yourself feel better and show you are not so hard on yourself. If someone is making fun of you or seriously offending you, don't be mad, play along with it. Be happy and have a good laugh and it'll piss them off even more than directly insulting them (which gives them what they want). I am serious when I need to be, however. If I weren't, I wouldn't be graduating soon, and that speaks for itself. All in all, I can seem non-chalant and cocky at times, but I have emotions as well, I just don't need to burden people around me with them. Being happy (I learned the hard way) is what people really want.

I can seem cynical at times. I am not a pessimist, but at the same time, I am not optimistic. I am skeptical, plain and simple. My cynicism roots more to the fact that many people (in my life anyways) do whatever it takes to get what they want, even if they hurt people in the process. I know you're thinking, this is an everyday thing, so many people get away with cheating, lying, etc. Then is the whole world cynical? I'll let you ponder on that. Moving on, its just a simple matter of logic and observation. A lot of people like to take advantage of me because my parents pay for my education and many think that I am getting a free ride and I can buy whatever I want. Now, even though they let me be frivolous once in a while, I cannot just simply blow 2000 bucks in one day. That is taking advantage of my parents and being totally disrespectful to everything they have taught me. The other thing is, if I want things, I have to work for them myself (and I am, but currently, I am hopping to another job). Then, what about the freeloading mama's boy? You're damn RIGHT I'm a mama's boy, because I at least take the time to respect my mother and write emails to her, talk on the phone with her, and even visit her. We may not see eye to eye all the time, but I love so much. She has helped me with relationships, school, and other things. Brenda (my friend Tony's mother), said something I will NEVER forget: "If a guy respects their mother, you know they are nice by default." Well, what can I say? I have a girlfriend as a result and some decent friends. The key thing is, just because I don't have to maintain a job yet doesn't mean I have a free ride. It's like financial aid, I have to produce the grades or I am on my own for good. So, call me cynical or even selfish if you want to.

I know I am not the best person in the world. Hell, there are so many people out there who are far better talented than I am at what I can do and what I can't. Do I care? Nope. Why not? Because what I can do is what I can do, period. So many people try to pretend that they are better than others through arrogance. Sometimes, I give that feeling off as well. I can clearly say, with no arrogance involved, I AM better than a lot of people. I may seem to have issues with people or I may seem to be grumpy or narrow minded at times, but the real deal is this: knowing when and when not to get involved with someone or something. If someone is mouching, threatening, or ill towards another, I won't get involved all of the time. If this person is forgiving of his or her mistake and never brings it up again, I accept that. If this person is too much and too uncompassionate, then I can't get involved. It's like the deal with the politics, I hate getting involved because people are so narrow-minded and, instead of accepting other opinions, they disagree and make you feel bad about your choice. It can be fun sometimes, but then again, do you really want to sit through that when there are better things to do? I am better than a lot of people, but I know there are people better than me at the same time. Oh well, I'm still going to live instead of fret, like most people do.

Yeah, I have a HUGE ego, you're absolutely right. When I was younger, I NEVER held any confidence or respect for myself. I always perceived myself as ugly, boring, dorkish, and pathetic. When you like the things I like (anime, games, writting, etc), of course these feelings will root. Then, hopefully, you grow up and realize how great of a person you really are and high school was high school (teens, immaturity, etc). You can say I am catching up on lost time of emphasizing how awesome I truly am, but maybe I do overdo it. Well, if it's just on a blog or in a discussion, oh well. The truth is this, you're not selfish for putting yourself first. If you had plans or if you need to get something done, then YOU FUCKING DO IT. Stop trying to put others before yourself all the time (but make sure you are kind and generous on occasion). My dad, the genius he is, said this to me, and I will never forget this as well: "If you can't help yourself first, how will you help others later on?" This is especially true for college. If you have homework or a project, you DO IT. Don't make up constant excuses just to avoid the work or even if you do help someone (and by help someone, I mean in a normal sense, not like saving someone from a burning building). It will come back to haunt you. If someone needs a ride, but you have a ton of work to do, tell him I am sorry, but I am extremely busy or call this guy, I'm sure he will. It's easy. All in all, yes, I tend to go overboard with me ego. So what? Who doesn't nowadays? We live in a society where your status and abilities actually matter (even though it's usually dishonest).

Yes, I fully agree, I am probably one of the most stubborn people in the world. But, come on, I'm 22 years old. I'm SUPPOSED to be stubborn. However, I have an open mind. Now, you're probably thinking, how the hell can you be stubborn and have an open mind at the same time? Think of it this way, I don't blow people off who disagree with me or if I disagree with them, I just choose to stick with what I believe in. I DO blow people off who say my opinions are lies or if they are just looking to be a dick (even though I do that often in a chat just to tease people). The bottom line is this: no one is perfect. If someone disagrees, it's not the end of the world. If it lingers on and on, it just causes problems. If you need to get a point across and someone is ignoring you, it IS rude, but there isn't much you can do. Talk to people that have similar beliefs as you and it is MUCH easier. Debate with someone ONLY when it matters.

I happen to lead quite a happy life. I know it seems I come on here and bitch and moan or something like that. Believe me, if I were bitching about all of this, I wouldn't even be sarcastic about it. I have problems with people and some people have problems with me. That's just the way life is. I don't always get my way, I have my good days and my bad days just like any normal person on this green and blue earth. I enjoy spreading my opinions on the net, even if it seems hurtful, unfair, and so on. I've seen worse opinions than mine and bigger bullshit than anything I could conjure up in a night's work. I love life and I will never stop living it until it's my time to pass on.

I hope this clears up anything you've thought about me before, but if you still think i'm some or all of the above, that's fine. I know the truth about me and that is all that is important.

People just continue to amaze and disgust me

Betty's Pub (courteousy of something awful) has recently come into my playing field...and frightened the hell out of me more than that futanari forum (which i have been banned from due to immature people unable to accept criticism). Basically, this is a forum dedicated to grown men who enjoy dressing up like dollys or little girls and wearing diapers to women who love to be a mommy and torture these men into wetting and crapping themselves....be still my heart.

My web discoveries just keep getting worse and worse. I mean, I agree that sex should be fun and not just for procreation and fetishes make it more fun (I have a cat girl fetish which means i like women who have cat ears and a tail, BUT the rest of their body is human. there is another category called furry, where guys or girls like humanoid animals or...animals literally, UGH!), but that doesn't mean I'm going to obsess over it to where it dominates my life to other things like school or sports and so on.

Anyway, the question becomes, why? Why do people like this sick stuff? Were they not mothered enough as kids or teens? Did they have bad relationships with normal people? Or are they mentally ill? Now, you can easily say, "Grey Fox, you like cat girls as a fetish, are you mentally ill?" No. Why? I have what is referred to as a healthy attraction. I don't NEED a girl to be a cat girl for me (but that is a nice plus), it's all in good fun.

Yes, I absolutely agree people should have fantasies and people should have dreams on their free time. However, when it comes to disturbing garbage like pooping diapers at the age of 30 or trying to be a "mommy" to a grown "sissy," that is just awful. No, I don't speak from some "self-righteous, christian" view, I speak from common sense. What if this discovery becomes public, not necessarily on the web, but what if someone finds out about it at work and tells your boss? Sure, someone who knows me can go off and tell everyone I know i like cat girls. Ok, what's wrong about that? It's a woman that has a cat tail and cat ears. It's cute, like a halloween costume. But wait, Grey Fox, don't you say to each his or her own? Yes, and I stand by it. If you like to dress like a little girl and you are a grown man, go for it. However, that doesn't mean I have to like it and accept it.

Coming off of that, my next blog will involve a statement that I should address.
