I've had a gf for three plus years and I hate Valentines Day. Fuck consumerism. It's also a one-sided holiday. I have not received a damn thing from a women in the 18 years I have been actively dating, this includes at least 4 LTR's of multiple years.

My landlord is one of those assholes who will not allow Fios in his building yet. Crossing fingers this changes soon.

I need me some Fios.

I must have been five or six when Labyrinth was released in theaters. I am convinced that Jennifer Connelly played a huge part in forming my female aesthetic type, if you will. Long dark hair, green eyes (although I find the blue eyes and dark hair combo more appealing). I can definitely see how I look for "her" in…

Burt, I'm gonna back you up on this.

Lmao, James Franco is actually part Portuguese by way of the Azores so I guess, close?

I would hope everyone washes their hands before they interact with those who are not their sexual partners. I do.

I have a crush on Bree. If I see her at the DBA show next month I may just hit on her.

I blame Franco and the fascists along with the Catholic church for this. It's clear to me that if the civil war had been won by the Anarchists and broader left (I say this as someone who dislikes Communism), Spain would be very different today.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say a lot of men do this. I tend to do this whenever I'm intimate with my gf. I eventually wash my hands when I bathe or if I'm going to leave the apartment. Otherwise I'm fine with keeping it around.

You have my thanks. I will rock this at San Diego Comic-Con this year if I can get tickets.

It could be said that I'm easily impressed, however...

I fuck with you.

Fuck Disney I don't give a shit the Expanded Universe is my Bible!!!

I need that.

Point well made Ari. I think one also has to think about how Palpatine ruled, through fear, it's the way of the Sith. The whole point of the Death Star was to create a sense of galactic-wide dread in minds and hearts of all the sentient species that inhabited Imperial controlled space and I'm sure areas of the galaxy…

This might come as a shock but...

People seem to have differing views on the subject at hand, mine is this: all of it smacks of bigotry/racism/ethnic/religio-supremacy bullshit.

I responded to someone else that I dont sense any malice behind it. I feel it comes from ignorance, yes, but due to factors outside her control. I don't excuse her cluelessness or culturally homogenous upbringing. I empart whatever wisdom I've gained over the years but know that I'm not obligated to educate her on…

I agree that the description has its place, if it's relevant to the conversation. If I had to guess I would say it has some sort of point scoring/showing off dimension to it. This is all conjecture, of course. What I do know is that she had zero dating experience with non-white men prior to meeting me.
