Q&A: Girls, what do you think about me? Would you want to date/be friends with a guy like me?

September 28, 2012 / / 3 Comments

Question by : Girls, what do you think about me? Would you want to date/be friends with a guy like me?
Ok, long list but here goes.

– I’m 15
– Asian-Canadian (born in Canada)
-Wears glasses (not nerdy ones though)
– Black hair styled similar to Daniel Craig’s
– I have above average intelligence (but not gifted)
– Christian-Catholic
– I enjoy Marksmanship and have a slick trigger finger with 90% accuracy
– Enjoys the occassional singing. Sounds a bit like Bruno Mars. high voice sounds like Prince. Attempted Michael Jackson but failed XD
– TV Shows: CSI, Everybody Hates Chris, Flashpoint, Dog the Bounty Hunter, CTV News???
– Movies: James Bond 007, Rush Hour, Kick-A**, Casino Royale, Speed, Spider-Man, Dark Knight.
– Music: Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Chris Cornell, Eminem
– Enjoys watching Chris Rock
– Conservative on Crime
– Wants to become a Police Officer when I’m older.
– Past crushes (for some reason) all looked similar to Chloe Moretz (yeah, had a crush on her too)
– Never had a girlfriend
– Never really had the guts to talk to a new girl
– Likes my drinks shaken, not stirred (except for soft drinks. I’d prefer neither method for that)
– Good at playing cards (Won $ 8500 in fake money in a Teen Casino on a cruise)
– A member of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets (which means I’m literally sworn in to serve Her Majesty the Queen)
– I know how to treat a girl well
– I travel a lot. I’ve been to Hong Kong, New York City, Bermuda, Macau, Vegas, China.

So, what do you think?

Please no answers like you’re a freak get out. Only honest answers please.

Also, I’m a total sh*t magnet when it comes to things sometimes. For example, I’ve been targeted by a small gang of white supremacists (whom I single-handedly took on, and won)

And my relationships don’t last too long. My closest ever to a girlfriend was dated for three hours (that was because it was on a vacation).

Heck to provide a pic I even went through the trouble of making an account on espin network for the sole purpose of providing a picture because twitter pics aren’t big enough.

Why scamming businesses continue to thrive in America?

September 26, 2012 / / 3 Comments

Question by redking13_ca: Why scamming businesses continue to thrive in America?
Just got a call telling me I’ve won a free cruise…

How can these businesses still thrive when they are based in america? i can understand when they are in india or china because u.s. law does not apply to them, but shouldn’t these cam artists be arrested?
I thought there were some laws against false advertising…

But i guess if i opened a computer store I could advertise FREE COMPUTERS to attract buyers, then you have to buy a $ 500-1000 warranty to get the free computer…

so i could see how that might work… but still

Ideas for a Sweet 16 in NYC?

September 25, 2012 / / 1 Comment

Question by goody2shoes: Ideas for a Sweet 16 in NYC?
For my Sweet 16, my mom is going to bring 4 of my friends and I to stay overnight in NYC. What are some fun things we can do and good places to eat? Also what good hotels can you recommend? We already came up with these:

-Go to the top of the Empire State Building
-Take a 2 hr cruise around NY on the Circle Line
– Visit St. Patrick’s Cathedral
-Rockerfeller Center
-Central Park (Maybe a horse drawn carriage ride)
-Possibly see an off Broadway Play so it isn’t too expensive
-Then just go shopping at Sephora, Toys R Us and Saks NY, etc.

For eating we were thinking of going to China Town or Mars 2112. Do you have any more suggestions. This will be in the summer also. Thanks!!
