What I got for Xmas (proposal content)
The lesson to take away from all of this is simple. Guys, on every first date you ever go on, ask the girl what her ring size is, and then tuck that info away somewhere. If she turns out to be the one, and you want to propose someday, it will be SO much easier on you.

The Biggest Douchebag Ever
Due to the threat of legal action on the part of the Biggest Douchebag Ever, this story is temporarily unavailable. I was given 72 hours to take the story down at the beginning of a 3-day weekend, which oddly enough didn’t give me much time during business hours to confer with my lawyer. A quick phone call this weekend reaffirms that I’ve done nothing wrong, and that I have every right to post a story that happened to me and my friends, but my lawyer wants to delve a bit further into it before giving me the go ahead. It’s funny to me that a guy can be a total prick to everyone he dates, and piss off all his friends, but doesn’t understand that actions have reactions, that you reap what you sow, and that eventually everyone is going to see him for who he really is whether it’s because I wrote a true story about him, or because he will, over time, manage to show his true colors to everyone he meets.

Men are from Mars, Women need more Cell Phone Minutes
According to a new study, women talk three times as much as men because talking gives them an endorphin buzz. So when a woman says, “We need to talk,” what she is really saying is, “I need to get wasted!”
