Socially Awkward Penguin

d dot b — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:24:48 +0000

Came across these funny memes from www.quickmeme.com and was instantly intrigued because I the memes are not only funny, but are sometimes very close to what I experience on a daily basis. So, here are some classic 'Socially Awkward' memes - and I mean we all have some degree of social awkwardness - some more than others. Related posts:

Social DNA

d dot b — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 14:54:27 +0000

According to the folks at Energy Diamond, these are the keys, well in terms of balancing them, to achieve positive/optimal social DNA. I think they may be onto something because having your social network full of one set of people does not really do much in giving you a balance viewpoint on things. I know many people that only want to surround their world with similar thinking people - I think this is an attempt to lessen arguments & protect their sense of self (the overly religious do this a lot).

Contractors Hyperbole

d dot b — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 22:16:20 +0000

I find the Home Improvement Industry to be a very challenging field, its either 'Do-It Yourself' or hire a Contractor. This post will focus on the latter, and their interesting rhetoric. Recently had to 'monitor' (be present) at my Mother's house while several contractors vied for a chance to complete a floor tiling project; and I have noticed several 'Talking Points' that ALL Contractors seem to have. So here are some Talking Points that I have observed, and my interpretation of what they really mean: No related posts. Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.

All music is ‘Emo’

d dot b — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 14:30:32 +0000

An interesting dialogue by Joe Budden and his first-person perspective video as they talk about music being emotional - regardless of how shallow or deep your favorite artist may be, at the end of the day, all music brings an emotion. Joe Budden may bring some real life/struggle emotion, while Soulja Boy may make you feel like getting up and dance in the club - either way, it all comes down to the feelings. Related posts:
