Cool! This High School Senior Without A Prom Date Asked Kate Upton To Kill Him

In reference to this:  Cool! This High School Senior Without A Prom Date Asked Kate Upton To Kill Him

This is not brilliant, in so many ways.

First, this boy needs help.  Someone should get him a psychiatrist.

Also, this reminds me too much of the stalker that mailed a bomb to Bjork.  I don't know Kate, aside from some images of her beautiful body I have seen.  He doesn't either.  Yet, he is using her as a tool.  He is using her to get attention for himself.  She probably isn't having a very good day about this.  There are likely other nuts out there that will see this as a cool idea and try something similar.  Bjork's experience had a profoundly negative effect upon her life.

If he is using another person this way, simply because she is beautiful and desired by many, what does this say about him?  Is he really a nice guy?  He refers to football players as dumb and seems upset that women like them and not him.  Well, most football players I've know are, in fact, dumb.  Some are smart (but not that many).  However, being smart isn't the only thing a woman is looking for in a man.  A woman is seeking a man that is not a danger to herself.  A woman is seeking a man the is confident (he's not).  A woman might be seeking a man she finds attractive (like he appears to find Kate).  How many non-attractive women did he ask to the prom?

There was a young man in California not long ago that was angry at women for their rejection of him.  He went out shooting people.  He thought they couldn't see what is good in him.  Well, turns out, they were right.  He was a potential murderer that became a real murderer.

Finally, most people think of themselves as nice.  Men turn around and say, "Women just don't like nice guys, and then they whine about it."  There were times in my life when I thought the same thing, but you know what?  If you think you are a nice guy and women still don't want you it's because you are not a nice guy.  They can perceive things about you that you don't.  Evolution programmed this into them.  If women don't like you, maybe you need to fix yourself.  Maybe you are too interested in yourself?  Maybe your demonstration of "niceness" is all about getting what YOU want.  Besides, there are reasons why a woman might be better off with a man different from the way you are.  It's OK to be whatever way you are, but you HAVE NO RIGHT to a woman.  Don't expect to be something a woman doesn't want and then demand to have one because women, like you, have lives of their own.  Now fuck off and stop posting shit videos.

The best things I've done in life have made no sense

Wandering the desert, circumnavigating the USA, stepping onto the Arctic Ocean, running around in Central America, having a daughter.... all of the kinds of things my ex-wife would not let me do....  all of these things are the best things I've done in life.

The best things in life make no sense.  Stop making sense.

Standing on the Frozen Arctic Ocean

One of the items on my bucket list has been to stand on the frozen Arctic Ocean.  Here I am, standing on the frozen ocean, just North of Barrow, Alaska.

If I look apprehensive, it is because I was keeping an eye open for polar bears.  This is almost 400 miles North of the Arctic Circle.

I wouldn't change a thing...

Like anyone, I have regrets.  I wish I had understood women better when I was younger.  I wish I had made better choices in whom I chose as friends when I was young.  I wish I had known that backstabbers existed when I was young (I am thinking of Jim and how he deceived me and gave me the intentionally bad advice that harmed my relationship with Holly).  Yes, I was terribly ignorant of the ways of humans when I was young.

However, I do not regret never having married Holly.  I do not regret divorcing my first wife.  I not only do not regret having fathered a daughter, but I think it was the best thing that happened to me in my life, and as much as her mother turned out to be a great disappointment to me, I know that it is not something she chose to do, so I do not regret staying with her until my daughter became and adult.

I do not regret that I am effectively single now.  In fact, I love it.  There is so much more that I have done, free of these "ball and chains".  There is so much more that I will do, as you will see here in the coming year.  If anything, I regret having wasted a year of my life on Holly and 10 years of my life on Hang, though I learned much from the experiences.

This is not to say that I did not love them, because I did love love, very much.  However, that kind of love is not enough.  There are other more powerful loves, like the love of a parent for a child, and the love of fighting for what is right.  With Holly, I would have been yacked to death by her endless yapping and bored to death with her complete failure to understand anything that requires knowledge and reason.  With Hang, I would have been imprisoned by her love, unable to see the world, fight for those things I believe in, learn those things I wanted to learn, and then, sadly, I would have never become a father.

I wouldn't change any of that if it meant I could not have and be what I have and am now.
