<editorsnote>Hi, I'm Jen Friel, and we here at TNTML examine the lives of nerds outside of the basements and into the social media, and dating world. We have over 75 peeps that write about their life in real time. (Real nerds, real time, real deal.) Sit back, relax, and enjoy some of the stories!!</editorsnote>
Ok so last week we furnished your nerdy kingdom, so today we shall decorate it! I know decorating is something women usually do, but you'll wanna have all of the things in post, believe me!
So, where to begin? How about some pillows for that nerdy loveseat?
What else can we put in your living room? Some wall shelves?
Wine rack? Eh, why not.
A true nerd also has a globe.
You also need to keep warm.
Yup, that's a radiator.
How about a clock? I know you have one on DVD player and another one on your phone. I guess you have on the stereo as well but none of them looks this awesome:
Next - kitchen. You may not cook but you're gonna love these anyway:
This one is my favourite! I love me some awesome nerdy waffles.
And for true BBQ master:
Let's not forget coasters!
Ok this post is getting a bit long now so let's save bedroom & bathroom til next week. M'kay?
I was listening to #JJJ (Triple J) recently in the car when a sad song and very sad story filtered through those waves. I remembered this song and hadn't heard it in like years! Definitely one of my #oldschool faves.
Unfortunately the narrator of this song and a well known american comedian Greg Giraldo, sadly passed away on the 29th of September this year.
This one's for you Greg! May you rest in peace mate.
Why is marijuana not legal? Why is marijuana not legal? It's a natural plant that grows in the dirt. You know what's not natural? 80 year old dudes with hard-ons. That's not natural. But we got pills for that. We're dedicating all our medical resources into keeping the old guys erect, but we're putting people in jail for smoking something that grows in the dirt
You know we have more prescription drugs now. Every commercial on TV is a prescription drug ad. I can't watch TV for four minutes without thinking I have five serious diseases. Like: “Do you ever wake up tired in the mornings?” Oh my god I have this, write this down. Whatever it is, I have this. Half the time I don't even know what the commercial is… There are people running in fields or flying kites or swimming in the ocean. That is the greatest disease ever. How did you get that? That disease comes with a hot chick and a puppy.
The schools now… It's all about self-esteem in schools. Build the kids' self-esteem, make them feel good about themselves. If everybody grows up with high self-esteem, who's gonna dance in our strip clubs? What's gonna happen to our porno industry? These women don't just grown on trees. It takes lots of drunk daddies missing a lot of dance recitals before you decide to go blow a goat on the internet for fifty bucks. And if that disappears, where does that leave me on a Friday night with my new high speed connection?

Mastermind is another word that comes up all the time. You keep hearing about these terrorist masterminds that are being killed over in the middle east. Terrorists masterminds. Masterminds sort of a lofty way to describe what these people do, don't you think? They're not masterminds. “Okay, you take bomb right and you put in backpack. And you get on bus and you blow yourself up.” “Why do I have to blow myself up? Why don't I put…” “Who's the fucking mastermind here? Me or you?”
Americans, let's face it: We've been a spoiled country for a long time. Do you know what the number one health risk in America is? Obesity, obesity They say we're in the middle of an obesity epidemic. An epidemic like its polio. Like we'll be telling our grand kids about it one day. The Great Obesity Epidemic of 2004. “How'd you get through it grandpa?” “Oh, it was horrible Johnny, but there was cheesecake and pork chops everywhere.”
Nobody knows why we're getting fatter? Look at our lifestyles. I'll sit at a drive through. I'll sit there behind fifteen other cars instead of getting up and making the eight foot walk over to the totally empty counter. Everything is mega meal, supersize. You want biggy fries with that, you want a jumbo fry, you wanna go large. You wanna biggie fry, You want thirty burgers for a nickel you fat mother fucker. There's room in the bag. Take it! You want a 55 gallon drum coke with that? It's only three more cents.

Sometimes you got to suffer a little in your youth to motivate you to succeed later in life. Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft? Of course not. You gotta spend a lot of time stuffin your own locker with your underwear wedged up your arse before you think I'm gona take over the world with computers! You'll see I'll show them.”
We're in one of the richest countries in the world, And the minimum wage is lower now than it was thirty five years ago. There are homeless people everywhere. This homeless guy asked me for some money the other day. And I was gonna give it to him but then I thought you're just gonna use it on drugs or alcohol. And then I thought, that's what I'm gonna use it on. Why am I judging this poor bastard. People love to judge homeless guys. Like, your giving him money He's just gonna waste it. He's just gonna waste the money Well, he lives in a box, what do you want him to do? Save up and buy a wall unit? Take a little run to the store for a throw rug and a CD rack? He's homeless. I walked behind this guy the other day. A homeless guy asked him for money. He looked right at the homeless guy and goes why don't you go and get a job you bum. People always say that to homeless guys, get a job like it's that easy. This guy was wearing his underwear outside his pants. Outside his pants. I'm guessing his resume isn't all up to date. I'm predicting some problems during the interview process. I'm pretty sure even McDonalds has a “underwear goes inside the pants” policy. Not that they enforce it very strictly, but technically I'm sure it's on the books.

Man, today has been a good day! I had my preliminary date and had a good day at work. Could I ask for more? How about a same day follow up date? That's right! We're going to go do some more talking and connecting whilst sitting around a bonfire. Awesome! Enough about me, I'll end up posting on that later. Let's play You Laugh, You Lose! For you new to the site, hello and welcome. Here's how we play. I post a few funny pictures. If you laugh, you lose and you have to "like" us on Facebook. Sounds good? Let's play!
ROFL, amirite? You lost by now. If you didn't, then you might actually be dead.
Jackass. Jackass. Jackass. Ohh how I love me some Jackass. I hope everyone is excited for Jackass 3D because I sure am. Jackass Number 2 caused a whole paradigm shift for how I looked at Jackass. When it was just the show I thought it was pretty good but that there was only a funny bit or two per episode. When their first movie came out I didn’t even go see it because I heard it wasn’t very good. But Jackass Number Two.…… epicnesswin is all I can say.
If you are new to Jackass the crew is divided into three groups. The first group consists of people that are legitimately crazy and do all of the show because they just love pain and making people laugh. Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O and Chris Pontonius fall into the first group. They will do anything at anytime without hesitation, and are usually the guys trying to talk other people into doing the stunt with them. I am pretty sure these guys would do this stuff for free because crazy is their biggest talent and there are only so many ways to use it.
The second group is made up of people who love the attention and money but sometimes hate everything about Jackass. Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn and Wee Man fall into this group. Wee Man really would be in group 1.5 but that is not an actual group. This group of guys love being on the sideline drinking beer or doing the embarrassing stunts but when it comes to doing the crazy shit are not happy with life at all. I am going to guess the Bam Margera will cry at least 3 times in the new movie- it’s kind of his thing.
The third and final group consists of Dave England, Ehren McGhehey and Preston Lacy. These guys hate everything about Jackass but the money is just too good to pass up. You can see the fear and despair in Dave England’s eyes every time he is about to do a stunt. I actually love watching his stuff because his hate of Jackass makes everything he does even funnier.
Jackass 3D hit’s the big screen tonight so go check it out. Or you can wait for my review before you decide to go or not. In the meantime you can stream Jackass 2.5 on Netflix and get all warmed up in preparation of what I can only hope is incredible.
Ahhhh, oh my goodness. I just got back home from my preliminary OkCupid date. What's a preliminary date? Why, let me explain.
First of all, let me just say that I messaged this chicka on a whim. I don't log onto my OkCupid account much these days. I happened to log on the other day and browse some profiles. I can't even remember where I saw her profile, but I do believe it was in the "You might like..." column. I saw that she was online and we ended up talking for a few hours via OKC messenger and ended with exchanging phone numbers.
After some text messaging, we decided to meet up for a short "preliminary" date to see if we even liked each other. We sat and talked outside of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf for a little under an hour. It felt really good! It's very rare for me to find a girl who I can just sit down and talk to. I have a very cluttered brain which goes a mile a minute, but I'm also a smart dude. A girl has to have brains and beauty. We talked about some really deep things including the story surrounding me finding out I was adopted (which I will post on in the near future). She is definitely a smart cookie (and has the looks to boot) and we are totally going out later tonight! So stoked!
Moral of the story, is if you are going to do online dating, a "preliminary" date is a must! Meet up for a coffee or something that doesn't take a lot of time. If you don't connect, then there is no pressure to spend a lot of time with the person seeing as it was already clear that this was just a short meeting. If you two have a great connection, then you will see each other again! Truuuuust me, you rather leave a first date wanting more than having had too much.
