I Want You To Want Me

AITOOW thinks evolution makes healthy relationships impossible? People like people pleasers. People pleasers are only motivated by rejection. As soon as the former accepts the latter, the latter will stop pleasing and the former will reject them. This starts the cycle over again.

On A Knee And A Prayer

AITOOW wonders if Tim Tebow is better at the end of a game partly because the opponent goes into a prevent defense? Everyone racks up big numbers then. His accuracy issues aren't as problematic with the soft coverage (more like college corners are capable of) and they encourage him to run to eat up clock. Plus he just reacts to the chaos (not reading alignments or checking out or down or actually running the play called) and his ten cent head (see Wonderlic score) isn't the negative it is during the rest of the game.

Chopping Broccoli

AITOOW wonders if chefs cut their food with a table knife the same way they cut their mis en place? Fast and with that motion. Do they hold the knife the same way too?

Fight Ire With Ire

AITOOW thinks you can't get a person who doesn't like themselves to like you by liking them. You have to pile on or they won't respect you or your judgement.

Unexpect the Expected

AITOOW wonders if you have to have too high an opinion of people (abilities/capacities) to think the worst of them?

It's Better To Receive

AITOOW thinks more people want gifts than opportunity?

Qlogging Up The Q

AITOOW wonders if you can steam pasta? In a rice cooker. I don't have one. How about cous cous, polenta, and all other grains/carbs? It would seem they do a poor job marketing this gadget if you can. Do solar panels break in a hailstorm? It would be a blow to the Green movement if they do. How do the Brits get Lef-tenant out of Lieutenant? Where is the F? Did you know they say most people only lose weight for another person beside their spouse? Why is read spelled the same but pronounced differently for both the present and past tense? Will Siri become a replacement for the imaginary friend for kids? Is the Keurig coffee machine necessary? Can't you just boil a cup of hot water and mix in the little shot of coffee they give you? What else does it do?

Joe Pa-thetic

AITOOW unequivocally rejects this pathologically self serving old man's son's contention that "we love you". I do not. I don't even like you. At best, you routinely put your own interests ahead of what was best for your school. You held onto power with a steel like intransigence when it was clear the game had past you by. At worst, you protected a child molester. And some where in between you looked the other way when action was morally warranted. I don't believe in religion, but, a man who professes to should have been motivated by fear of final judgement. It's a moral imperative. And even an atheist like myself believes in ethics. As a humanist, you had an ethical obligation to protect those children (not just squeal). You definetly had the clout to stop this. The law may be less ethically demanding than that, but, it just shows what kind of man you are. You part of that old school breed of egoists that believes that anything goes as long as it doesn't interfere with your legacy. A man willing to do the minimum he is expected to do. The "keep your nose clean" and "don't involve yourself in things that don't concern you" selfishness that describes an entire generation of people that only cares about itself. Hopefully, expectations have changed and the bare minimal awareness of your fellow creatures will fade away with your myopia. Not only do I not 'love you, I'm scared at the emotional and financial cost people like you will continue to inflict on this country as you soak it to support your retirement years. Not to mention the scores of evil deeds you walked right past or caused. Good riddance. I can't wait to read your obituary. You are a weight on the collective consciousness. It's karma that the flaws in your character created the stage for your infamy. I'm just sad that it took something like this to reveal them to the rest of the world.

Giving Oral

AITOOW wonders if there has ever been a girl in a non-all girl band who didn't contribute on vocals? I can't think of any.

Robbing Peter and Paul to Impress Paul

AITOOW finds it ironic that some people will do anything it takes in order to appear "special" in the eyes of other people even if that behavior results in harm to the very people they are looking for (and will lose) validation from?

Simon Says

AITOOW thinks women have trouble getting respect at work because they appear either to unsure (trying to cultivate buy in comes off like nagging) or too sure (comes off as confrontational)? Men just relate the directive and move on. Facts without subtext. Devoid of emotion. Nothing to misinterpret.

69 69 69

AITOOW thinks that the only thing that will survive the Herman Cain sexual harassment scandal is the realization that most people consider sexual harassment an artificial allegation created by unreasonably sensitive people? An allegation that is required to be inequitably applied based on political affiliation (see Bill Clinton).

The Car-Crashians

AITOOW thinks SNL did a great job of satirizing these gauche idiots? Kim only went to see her "husband" so that she could try and flank his play as a victim. Let's see if she still pulls the puppet strings. BTW - doesn't Humphries look like Taylor Lautner? I'm not really interested in the story. I just loved the heading.

The Real BCS Championship

AITOOW can't believe people are saying the LSU-Alabama game was boring? Every series was make or break. Team defense was exhibited for once. People stayed in their gaps. RB's tried to knock defenders out. The first facemask penalty by grabbing the back of the helmet was called in my lifetime. Nobody took a play off. One coach almost lost the game because he rotated two QB's. One (supposedly infallible) did lose the game because of at least four miscalculations (ie putting in a lame punt returner, not using time outs, questionable play calls, not realizing certain substitutions revealed what play would be called). There were blocked kicks, goal line stands, big hits, guys playing with injuries, an OT. A mouthy CB got his come uppance. Other mouthy CB's got burned. The refs let late hits, pass interference, holding calls go. A boisterous crowd of hillbillies went home dejected. The only negative was the ridiculous ending that the NCAA uses for OT. Oh, and Gary Danielson's pathetic grand standing, poor analysis, and bragging (after the play) that he was thinking X would happen.

This Week...Not So Weak

AITOOW thought that there was less nonsense on the Sunday morning talk shows? I'm A Poor Ass Host still asked loaded questions and relied on false options and straw men, but, the rest of the panel (even Puffington) were adult enough to not to resort to rhetoric. They even turned their venom on their own compatriots at times. BTW - who does her makeup? Lindsey Lohan? Her cheeks looked like they were hit with a chimney sweep's dust broom. It was also good to see Liz Chaney call out Na-Bob on the quality of the issues he chose to debate. The subsequent pile on and his unease at the criticism was overdue. Maybe this will forestall the Who Wore It Better segment they have planned for next week. Although, I assume it will be called Who Wore It Worse and it will only apply to Republican politicians.

BTW - Win Win is an entertaining little flick. The casting director or director or screenwriter (or all) did a good job creating likable characters. I do wonder if the original script ended at the dinner table, but, the studio made them wrap up the loose ends. It may have been more interesting to let the viewer decide how this would all work out.

Original Fash-sin

AITOOW thinks that burquas/head dresses might have been originally a method of keeping desert sand out of ones hair rather than a modesty conveyance?

Flip Flop You Don't Stop

AITOOW thinks Mitt Romney is the Republican John Kerry? And we know what happen to him.

Games People Play

AITOOW thinks people are ambivalent about math because the solutions have no significance? They are just games. The answers do not have any value to human existence. They are just tools to sharpen ability. People feel they are acquiring knowledge with some utility when they participate in the sciences or liberal arts. That is why they are more popular.

Mean Spirits

AITOOW thinks that philanthropists/benevolents/liberals know that the agendas they advance are insupportable or false? Ultimately meaningless in the end. The difference between them and conservatives is that conservatives have the decency not to propagate the deception.

Ass-isted Suicide

AITOOW is intrigued by how low this mud walrus will sink? So envious of the attention her sisters sham marriages brought them, she has to fake a relationship to participate/steal the spotlight. It's really pathetic that this pathology is allowed to escalate when millions of people are witness to it and could step in and demand psychiatric care. I guess it is understandable that no one wants to step in and help her. She is unworthy of it. Or maybe her fans are similarly afflicted. I wonder if the cruelest blow of all is coming - an exodus of the oglers from this freak show. Funny how the divorce happened just after the re-airing of the wedding ceremony. If this was just a ratings ploy or one time money grab, I think it was a miscalculation. I see it burning alot of good will. Can't wait for the spin/damage control.
