Historia de un hombre fiel
Yo estaba muy feliz!!, Mi novia y yo habiamos andado por mas de un año, y decidimos casarnos. Mis padres nos ayudaron en toda forma posible, mis amigos me apoyaban. Y mi novia era un sueño. Solo habia una cosa que me molestaba mucho, y era la mejor amiga de ella. Era inteligente y sexy, y a veces flirteaba conmigo, lo que me consternaba.
Un día, la amiga de mi novia me hablo por teléfono y me pidió que fuera a su casa a ayudarle con la lista de los invitados a la boda. Así que fui para allá. Ella estaba sola, y cuando llegue, me susurró que, ya que me iba a casar con su mejor amiga, y tomando en cuenta que ella tenia ciertos sentimientos y deseos hacia mi persona, y que ya no podía aguantarse mas, y que antes que me casara y comprometiera mi vida con su mejor amiga, quería hacer conmigo el amor una sola vez.¿¿Que podía decir?? Estaba totalmente sorprendido, y no pude decir palabra.
Así que me dijo, 'Iré al cuarto, y si tu lo deseas, entra y me tendrás'. Admire su maravilloso trasero mecerse al subir las escaleras. Me levante del sillón y estuve así, de pie, por un momento. Me di vuelta y fui a la puerta principal, la cual abrí, y salí a la calle, me dirigía a mi carro. Mi novia estaba afuera!! Con lagrimas en sus ojos, me abrazo y me dijo, 'Estoy muy feliz y orgullosa de ti. Has pasado mi pequeña prueba. No podía tener a un mejor hombre como esposo!'........
Moraleja: Siempre deja tus condones en el carro!!!!!
Dating after mid-thirties... what a problem!
Today I read a post where mid-aged people described what a problem it is to Date after mid 30s; this is called the "I'm to old to date" syndrome. The majority of this people believe that dating is actually for youngster from early to late 20s. Most of this mid-aged people had gone through a divorce after years of marriage, or had widowed for sometime and lost their touch at dating. This people get terrified of dating or even to be in a non-marital social relationship.
Example of this is Patricia (we are changing the name). She explains that, after her divorce that ended a 32 year marriage, she hated the fact that her friend's circle consisted of couples. Of course after sometime she was feeling all alone and miscomprehended by her friends. She admits to feel lonely, but she is also afraid of taking the first steps to meeting someone else. Another person stated, "I was so scared, my daughter had to lead me by the hand and introduce me to men she thought I might be interested in."
For some people the answer might rely in joining and organization with similar interest; it doesn't have to be of singles with marriage on their minds; but people with similar thoughts, needs, who are mature adults on a recreational and discussion groups. This way you can actually get to know everyone before you take the lead of asking someone out. This is actually one of the best options you can get! It is proven to help you enter the dating world in a slow-comfortable manner and at the same time you will know what is out there for you.
Of course, you always have the internet to find singles. But if what you are looking for is more than just a date search, you are very welcome to check out any recreational group near you. I promise, if you don't find a date... you will make new exciting friends!

Story Of A Faithful Man - Funny!
Thursday, September 25, 2008
I was very happy! My girlfriend and I had been together for more than a year, when we decided to get married. My parents helped in all they could and my friends were all with me. My girlfriend was a dream!
There was only one thing I did not like, her best friend. She was very smart, sexy, and sometimes would flirt with me, which made me angry.
One day she calls me (the friend) to ask for my help with the wedding arrangements. Of course, for this I needed to go to her house! So I went. She was by herself, and when I got there she told me that since I was about to get married to her best-friend and since she had developed some feelings towards me, it was better to make love before I officially gave my life to her friend. Imagine!
What could I say? I was so shocked. So, sh said, "I will go to my bedroom, if you want this, you will go behind me". I admire her while she was walking up the stairs towards the bedroom. I got up and when out the front door; to my surprise, my girlfriend was standing there and with tears in her eyes she said. "I'm so happy and proud of you. You have passed my small test. I couldn't have a better man to marry!...
Moral Of The Story- Always leave your condoms in your car!!!

Love In Medieval Times
Love during Medieval Times was considered to be pleasured, suffered, obsessed with, and most of the time it was kept secret by the lover's. According to some, "the easy attainment of love makes it of little value; difficulty of attainment makes it prized". So in order for you to be "loved forever", you had to play "hard to get". Even today we pass this saying to our daughters.
At that time love and marriage had nothing in common; a Countess once said "we declare that love cannot exist between two people who are married to each other".
This is because at the time when the wife was disobedient, she would be beaten by her husband. An example of this from the 14th century, "Her husband consulted a surgeon and made a deal for the mending of two broken legs. He then went home and broke both his wife's legs with a pestle, remarking that in the future she wouldn't go far to break his commandment".
In other manuscripts you find other names for love, like courtly love which is believed to be the starting point of the kind of love we know today.
For me it is very interesting how things change so dramatically. Before, the women were beaten when disobedient to their husbands. Today, the law is by our side most of the time. One thing is for sure, it doesn't matter how love is view or how it comes to you. Everybody has the same fate... to fall in love.
"...A life without love is no life at all."

You think dating is hard?
Wednesday, September 17, 2008
You think dating is a hard thing, and for that matter you have decided not to do it ever again. I got news for you pal! While searching a topic for this post I came across sites and articles about deaf dating.
I will not go into details on Deaf Dating because it is a sensitive topic and it can be misinterpreted. But I will accentuate the fact that dating for deaf people and for this matter, mute people as well, has to be the most difficult of all.
I read some articles on how they try to make themselves understood by their dates doing the whole lip-reading technique and more just to find out hearing people get distress and leave. It is amazing to read how many deaf-hearing couples (a deaf and a hearing partner) get affected because of how difficult it is to maintain a good communication between them. That is why someone thought on making it more easy and creating a deaf dating site. There they can find deaf singles and enjoy sharing their life with someone who understands their needs and lifestyles.
Let me make it more clear for you, It will not be harder than this! Try communicating with someone of another culture, when you don't know their language and you will have an idea of how hard it is. So, stop giving excuses to yourself and get back in the game. Anyone can find love!

Matchmaking with no match - A funny Story
I think most of us have played matchmaking roles by hooking up friends, colleagues etc. No matter if our friend is a nerd or ugly-betty we make sincere efforts to find common grounds, even if there are none.
This happened few years back when my friend just got divorced and we were trying to hook him up with a suitable girl. It happened that coincidentally a mother of one of our friend was looking for a suitable match for a co-worker. As she found out of the empty slot she immediately pushed forward the girls phone number to my friend. Seeing a glimpse of raindrops over a parched land, he fell for the bait.
Well the next day he received a call from this girl, she sound sweet, but she spoke very slow as if she had a prompter. Anyway the old lady followed up the same day like any dedicated matchmaker and fixed a date for them. My friend went for the date during the lunch time, all dressed up. An hour later he came back, very mad - what happened I asked ? Man that old lady, what she thinks I am? Mother Teresa of dating world - that girl was fat as a hippo, ugly like hell, instead of eyebrows she had a line drawn with a pencil, her hair had a florescent highlighter and as it was not enough - she can't speak English. "I felt as if two dumb people were having conversation" he said.
I asked how you managed to run away, he said as soon he saw her there was a call - it was as if god was following his thoughts. He said "Oh I am so sorry, that was my boss, we have an emergency". Knowing him I knew that phone call was a life saver.
Some tips on how to ditch a bad date.
Christmas is there... and you don't have a date yet!
Friday, September 12, 2008
It's Mid-September, after Halloween, next month, we will be confronted (yet again) with another wonderful joyous Christmas! Although this is my favorite time of the year, I most say, not everyone is as jolly and happy about it as me. My best-friend (for example) has never find a reason to celebrate the season, sadly for her kids, there is no Christmas at all for them.
But about those who feel hunted by the idea of spending the season alone? Without that special someone to share memories with, nor romantic moments? Guess what my friend!! Christmas is so much more than having a romance, or having that special someone with you.
The best thing of Christmas is the fact that it is all about family, friends, and celebrating all the joy we have received throughout the year. Amazing isn't it? Don't worry about bringing someone to meet your family and friends on Christmas! You don't need it! Enjoy the season, no worries. Leave that for next year!

Wild Dating
Tuesday, September 9, 2008
We as parents have responsibility towards our children. They look upon us for advice, guidance and as very often we are their role models. So that day when I read this article on wild dating, I decided to explain this to my boy - the article was about a software program that has a database containing information on sex, age and weight and they use that information to perform match making.
I explained him that his days of running around without a soul mate is over. Soon he will find a girl to date, have offspring's and a family of his own. He knows that I write a blog on dating, so he was very enthusiastic and curious about learning more about the software. I explained in details how the program works, how easy it will be to find a match for him - with his looks I realized he was eager to start with the beta version.
But when I told him that it will be another 2 years before which the program will hit the market - he was extremely sad, he looked down and walked away. It was heart breaking - I picked him and whispered "you want some Sausage", there was a sparkle in his eyes - ah I am so sorry; did I mentioned that my boy is a handsome black and white 4 year old Shitzu and the software service is called 'StudBooks' that is used to match zoo animals in not so wild world. Please feel free to pass it on to your kids.
"Till Death Due Us Apart"
Monday, September 8, 2008
If you are like most of us, you would have already spend a couple of hours of your life wondering what makes a relationship one that will last a lifetime. With the increasing rate of global divorce (not just in america) it is completely understandable to be concerned or confused with the "loved forever" idea that everyone dreams of.
The truth is that most of us go looking for the person that has the best qualities considering how WE want him/her to be like; we decided at one time in our life that our special someone will have a lot of things in common with us. Probably we like the same plays, movies, even the same food! Others think that the less things in common you have, the better you can compliment each other. Have you ever heard that saying, "Opposite poles attract"?
There is no magic potion or secret for everlasting love. One musician explained she got divorced due to the difference of music her and her husband played. She was a Folk musician and he was into rhythm and blues. They literally couldn't play music together and because of this, eventually they split up.
It is not the bond of music, it's the bond of the same kind of music that is essential.

Celebrity Spotlight - Daniel Radcliffe
Daniel Jacob Radcliffe was born on 23 July, 1989 to Alan Radcliffe, a literary agent, and Marcia Gresham (born Marcia Gresham Jacobson), a casting agent who was involved in several films for the BBC. Daniel is best known for playing Harry Potter in each of the first five films based on the best-selling Harry Potter book series, and will also appear in the final three films of the series.
Radcliffe was asked to audition for the role of Harry Potter in 2000 by producer David Heyman, while in attendance at a play named Stones in His Pockets in London. In August of that year, after several auditions, he was selected to play the role in the big-budget adaptation of the award-winning book series by J.K. Rowling. Rowling herself also approved of this selection: "Having seen Dan Radcliffe's screen test I don't think Chris Columbus could have found a better Harry". Radcliffe made his film debut in 2001 with a supporting role alongside Pierce Brosnan in The Tailor of Panama, and the first Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (United States title: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) was released later that year.
Radcliffe has said that he is "very proud of being Jewish" but is not religious. He plays bass guitar and is a fan of Punk Rock. Radcliffe appeared on the Sunday Times Rich List in 2006, which estimated his personal fortune to be GB£14 million, making him one of the richest young people in the United Kingdom. Despite his wealth, Radcliffe has said he does not have expensive tastes. Radcliffe has said that his main expense is books, as he reads a lot.

1-2-3 Guide To Dating A Geek
I am not a person who read manuals or instructions, actually I am not a book person at all, all my readings are limited to blogs and online stuff. But, I admire people who read - I was blown away when I saw the title of a book "A girls guide to dating a geek" that cost $14.00. I read again, yes it is $14.00 - that's the cost of large thin crust pizza with all toppings.
A manual on dating a rockstar, actor, singer I understand but a geek. What a girl need to date a geek?
You don't have to land on their doorstep wearing a bikini - just grab a pizza, a bottle of mountain dew and some wires or just pretend that you need some cool applications in your iPhone, if not anything ask them a question 'How computers are made?'. Buy them a $15.00 annual subscription to the 'Wire' magazine and they become your slave. They are the most neglected of the breed, so if you are beside them they will treat you as demi-god.
I was sitting in Starbucks with a geek friend of mine; me sipping a cup of chai latte; him ofcourse hammering the keyboard when out of no where comes this lady - may be in her 40's, pretty much deprived in the looks department, she asked - is this the new Mac Laptop? That's all she asked. I left 20 minutes later realizing he is going to date back to the first Apple II launched in 1977, and we are in 2007. Later he said he asked the lady out for a date.
But lets not confuse them with today's geeks - they are top of the line, cutting edge machines - they can be as sophisticated as Prince Charles and as cool as Eminem; yet they carry with them the same spotlight and millions of dollars in bank accounts. Larry Page and Sergey Brin founders of Google, Mark Zuckerberg founder of FaceBook, Max Levchin founder of PayPal and Slide are stallwarts of the tech industry. They have revolutionized many different aspects of our everyday life and redefining the perception of geeks - no longer you need a suit to address the board room - its ok to make a public presentation in Jeans - its ok to still drive a $40,000 mustang when you can afford a $500,000 Ferrari.
I sincerely doubt that documents, manuals will do any good to anyone trying to date a geek. May be all you need to do is - just become a geek.
Watch this funny video on "A pseudoscience guide to geek dating".
What is about first love?
What is about 'first love' that we all have something treasured in terms of memories, moments that hold a special place in our heart. Things that look silly today had meaning and relevance in those days. We fall in love many times during the course of a lifetime, but the first rush of love is unforgettable.
Back in our school days if a good looking girl would share her lunch with me or talk to me for 5 minutes - I thought, yeah that's the girl, I want to date her, marry her and so on.. I remember once I even thought of the school I would send our kids to. But among all those girls that I dreamt of going out on dates or for that matter have kids with, there was one that I will always remember (lets call her Sue) - we wouldn't go out on dates or dinners or parties or exchange fancy gifts, actually I don't recall ever gifting her anything - but there was joy in small things like, walking home from school with her, going to her house for studying together, playing soccer and looking for her to see if she watched the goal I just scored.
Many years passed and I just came back from a project in Europe that I thought of getting back with her, I called her house and a lady picked up the phone, it was her aunt, she sound little reluctant when I asked for Sue. Her aunt passed the phone to her mother. I again asked can I talk to Sue, her mother said 'mmm actually she's getting married today, can you call her sometime later'.
The last time I saw her was about 15 years back, I fondly remember our friendship and good times.
For me, 'first love' is like the alphabets - they are the basics of the whole future relationships of a person.
Celebrity Spotlight - Tobey Maguire
Saturday, September 6, 2008
Tobias Vincent Maguire popularly known as Toby Maguire was born on June 27, 1975, to Wendy (née Brown), a secretary turned screenwriter and producer, and Vincent Maguire, a construction worker and cook. His parents were 18 and 20 years old, and unmarried, at the time of his birth; the two married and subsequently divorced when Maguire was two. Maguire spent much of his childhood moving from town to town, living with each parent and other family members. During his childhood, Maguire entertained the idea of becoming a chef and to that end wanted to enroll in a Home Economics class as a sixth grader. His mother offered him US $100 to take a drama class instead, and Tobey agreed.
The nomadic nature of his school-age years began to take a toll on Maguire emotionally, and finally, after yet another relocation to yet another school, Maguire dropped out of his freshman year of high school and never returned, deciding to focus himself on his blossoming acting career. Maguire's first appearance in a feature film was in the 1989 movie The Wizard. During many of his auditions, Maguire found himself competing opposite another rising child star actor, Leonardo DiCaprio. The pair struck up a fast friendship and made an informal pact to help each other get parts in their movies/TV shows/other projects. In 2002, Maguire shot to superstardom as the web-slinging superhero Spider-Man in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, based on the popular Marvel comic book series. He reprised the part in Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Spider-Man 3 (2007) and has provided the voice of Spider-Man in the video game adaptions of the films.
Maguire married his long-time relationship partner, jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer, on September 3, 2007, in Kona, Hawaii. Maguire has been a vegetarian for over 14 years and is working toward a vegan diet, though he makes vegetarian changes in his diet to either gain or lose weight for movie roles, like dramatically decreasing his calorie intake for Seabiscuit followed by a rapid increase to regain the weight for Spider-Man 2.

Fatherly Advice - A funny story
Well we look to our parents for advice, but we all know sometimes an unwanted advice becomes too much. After her divorce, this friend of mine (lets call her Lisa) was on a never ending quest to find a "ready made father" for her 3 kids - so she was hopping from one guy to another like a wine tester, looking for that unique and rare blend that, she can keep and drink too.
So she met this doctor, and they were going pretty steady - so we all cheered and toasted to see a silver lining in her dark dating clouds. She decided to introduce the doctor to her parents and she took her prized trophy to her house for dinner - "Dad he is Doctor Joe and this is my father" smiled Lisa.
"Wow you are doctor! you look good, please tie her so that she can't jump from one horse to another" said her father.
What happened next, well she went back to her wine testing mode and we all are holding our glasses for our next Cheers.
Celebrity Spotlight - Tom Hanks
Thomas Jeffrey Hanks popularly known as Tom Hanks was born on July 9, 1956, to Amos Mefford Hanks a chef and a distant relation of President Abraham Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks. Hanks worked in television and family-friendly comedies before achieving success as a dramatic actor portraying several notable roles, including Andrew Beckett in Philadelphia, the title role in Forrest Gump, Commander James A. Lovell in Apollo 13, Captain John H. Miller in Saving Private Ryan, Michael Sullivan in Road to Perdition, and Sheriff Woody in Disney/Pixar's Toy Story. Hanks is the third most successful actor in terms of box office totals which exceed USD $3.3 billion.
In school, Hanks was unpopular with students and teachers and described himself as horribly, painfully, terribly shy. Tom acted in school plays, including South Pacific, while attending Skyline High School in Oakland, California. Tom spent a lot of time going to plays. He would just drive to a theater, buy a ticket, read the program, and then get into the play completely. After three consecutive flops, Hanks succeeded with the fantasy Big (1988), both at the box office and within the industry, establishing Hanks as a major Hollywood talent.
Hanks won his first Academy award for best actor in 1993 for playing a gay lawyer with AIDS in Philadelphia (he lost thirty-five pounds and thinned his hair in order to appear sickly for the role). In 1994 he won his second Best Actor Academy Award for his role in Forrest Gump, becoming only the second actor to have accomplished the feat of winning back-to-back Best Actor Oscars. He played Captain John H. Miller in Saving Private Ryan, one of the finest war movies ever made under the direction of Steven Spielberg and got his third best actor nomination. A fan of NASA's manned space program, Hanks said that he originally wanted to be an astronaut but "didn't have the math".
