So I was having a conversation with a good buddy of mine, and we so happen to have stumbled upon the topic of meeting girls at a club. Now, I'm not that smooth. Just an average Joe. I know a few individuals who can get a girl's number with ease or just to talk with them without a problem. However, I am not that guy. My favorite line is "umm, you want to do dance. DOH" Yes my friends, that’s the one liner that many guys try to use and fail miserably with. But, this blog isn't about techniques on how to meet girls at a club. It's more about just going out and having a good time with friends.
So I ask, why do guys set themselves up for disaster. The way I see it, if you go to a club thinking on hitting on women and trying to leave with one when the night is over, you'll be sorely disappointed. Now, if you go to a club or party on the intention of just having fun with your friends, then I'm pretty sure you'll have a great time. So then you ask, well what happens with the girls. Can't you do both? Yes. But doing it one way is better then the other. Here are two actual scenarios that took place in my life.
A few friends and I go to a club. We dance and party together. Just having a good time. Luckily, I am blessed with friends who know how to dance (freestyle) or else it gets a little more complicated. We chill, not thinking on hitting on women for the sake of just going out and having a guys night. Then without knowing, a few girls randomly pop up and ask to dance or just to spark a conversation. Maybe they liked how we were dancing. I don’t know. Now, there were no premeditated ideas of meeting women. It just so happens that we had our cake and frosting too. Since we went to a club just to have fun, meeting or not meeting women did not affect the outcome of our night. But since we got to meet some pretty cool chicks, then it just made the night that much better.
Scenario 2, I go to a club with a few friends. On the way there, we psyche ourselves up on how many girls we are going to meet and how many numbers we are going to get. Sounds great. We show up and we see the prospects of hundreds of hotties. WE ARE GONNA GET SOME! While in the club, we walk around checking out who our prey is. We ask, get denied. We ask again, get denied. Circle the club a few times. Ask again, get denied. Ask a forth time, get denied. See the pattern. Now its 12am, prime time to dance and all the girls are taken. We soon get desperate and start asking the uglies. Shit, I got rejected by an ugly. DAMN this night SUCKS.
My advice, just go to have fun. I know these scenarios are purely coincidental but the idea is true. Meeting girls are fine, but please don’t make it your sole purpose. Yes, I am a straight guy! Don’t get me wrong, but setting yourself up to such an expectation can only lead to a train wreck. Or you’ll get desperate and leave the club with a nasty looking girl.

I Get No Comments! Should I be sad?
I have to say this whole blogging experience is great and I've been blogging constantly for a few months. I guess you can say I'm a virgin who still needs to learn a few things before he can truly take off his training wheels. However, off the top, I ask, do people actually read this stuff? My true intention of this blog was not to get popularized in the blogging community, but as a way to freeze my thoughts and memories and place them onto a page where I can revert back and forth from. You see, my mind is in the short. This blog is my diary. But, we guys don’t say that. It’s true. It is a diary. I can’t hide the fact. And it helps me create a timeline of perplexities comprised of my mind.
But, back to the question at hand, lately I’ve become curious. So I did a search. Why no blog comments. Apparently, there are guidelines upon guidelines to getting feedback on what you write. You must have good stories, things of interest, new ideas and thoughts, etc. Crap, I never knew. Here I was, writing for the fun, for the now. Numerous amounts of mindless jibber-jabber that gets spat onto my blog. I see people’s blogs and I’ve become envious of the amount of intelligent feedback and quirky responses. Damn, my stories must suck. Do my movie reviews not move you?
My true intent has now become a thing of the past. I want readers to read and comment. I’ve given in to the dark side. My mind has been clouded with cravings of ecstasy that if someone were to embark on my journey, it would add something to their lives. I guess it’s like xanga, myspace, and friendster, I get a boner every time someone comments.
But then again, who cares right? I mean, this blog is my own. It is for my eyes to see and a tool to share thoughts to a few friends, who never comment mind you. Should I be sad? I guess the fact of the matter is, till I receive a stream of comments, then it won’t really bother me if I never get any. It’s like love. How can you miss it if you’ve never experienced it? Blast you curiosity cat. Till then, I wait.

Placebo Oak-Town & Frisco Trip
Alright yall. Here are the pictures to the Placebo Effect Bay Trip Sept 15-17 2006! I'm not gonna try to make it long winded. I'll post the pictures and tell stories off that. The only thing I will say is. "Change your underwear, cause you’re wearing panties!" Hahaha, inside joke to all those with us. Okay here goes the story! Aheemmmmm.
Placebo Crew aka Break-Fast, God-Speed aka Team Pho hămhai.
In "no particular" Order of Appearance!
Alex aka Nu Winner /Andrew aka Anterior Deltoids (bboy Hand Job)
Mike aka Some Dum Guy /Barry aka Barrier Method
Special Guest Appearances!
A-Lau aka Vagina from China /Char aka Charbroiled
Yosef as Himself
Here is a little clip I shot. Enjoy.
Day (1):
Here we arrive to Oakland, California around 6pm to visit Yo. We end up at Safeway to buy some alcohol, a cake, some flowers, and soda so we can pre-party! A-Lau soon arrives and we are chillin in front of Yo's crib. We soon hurry and get ready to go out because Andrew is not 21 and the only way to sneak him in is to eat at the place we are going to party at! Good Plan!
Here we are at Safeway. We then ended up in front of Yo's crib and started getting ready for the party!
We arrive to Luka's! I think. And we order a round of Burgers and Beer. 10 dolla Burga!
After a Luka Burger and Fries!
Now its party time and the music is off the chain. (For the first 2 hours) Then it gets kinda Hyphy.
Mike knocks over a drink. Smooth Buddy!
The Crew is now leaving Oak-Town to stay at A-lau's Crib! Here is the Bay Bridge at Night!
Day (2) Morning:
Damn, we are all sick. Not because of the Alcohol. But because we came to Frisco with colds and flus and allergies and all sorts. We wake up feeling like crap and get ready to bounce to CHA CHAs (cuban spot) to eat @ Haight Street. We do a little shopping and F'n arround. Good times!
Here we are getting ready in the morning. STRIKE a POSE. Cha Cha's on Haight St. We order some potatoes, freaking carbs. It was good ish though.
A-lau takes us to Hayes Street. This place is pretty cool. There's a park and some shopping. Don't you like our cool pose!
We then go to Grandview Park on 17th and Moraga. It's on top of SF. We take some shots from above. It's a real good spot if you want to see the city!
Locking picture!
Day (2) Evening:
After sightseeing and shopping. We go back to A-lau's crib to get ready for dinner and dancing. We are gonna do plan A again to get Andrew into this House Club called Poleng. We first go and stop by Allison's bday dinner to say happy birthday to her and to hang out with our boy Yo.
Here we are, outside of the bday party and dinner.
We then head over to Poleng. The food there is the bomb. I highly recommend the Ahi chip thingy and the Crab Noodles.
We sit and have dinner. We ordered some bomb food. Got some drinks. It was all dope. And the hostest took a picture for us too. She must be hot cause if you look at A-lau, he's looking straight at her!
Char soon joins us in a night of partying and dancing! Man, there are tons of chicks (hot ones) at this club. Many of them are pretty friendly. The vibe is cool as hell and the music was tight. Two rooms. One plays house and the other room bumps breaks/soul.
The club starts and, OH SHIT, we get stamps. Now we have ins and outs. No more carding for the rest of the night. "By your powers combined, we are Captain Planet!"
Group Picture in the club!
Wow, talke about emo! And look at Andrew. Talk about wanting to take a dump!
Here is mike dancing with 3 men. Go Mike. "You guys are really gay, I don't know what to say..." track 4 of our single. Buy it now!
After the club we go chill, fart around, and eat. Of course, we take the most random of random pictures cause "we must be from the BAY"!
You know how the saying goes: When in ROME, Do the Romans! or You can just suck Dick!
We then head over to Cable Car Pizza for a slice. I got the pesto cheese pizza. It was good! So good that I didn't take a picture of it. WEAK!
Car photo. HAha. Look at A-lau. He looks confused. Oh, this experimental shot is of us eating pizza.
Wow, another amazing trip. We then head back to go to sleep. Damn, too bad the trips over! We even sleep gay. What the hell are you doing Alex. And check Mike out? Strange!
Day (3) Leaving San Francisco:
We wake up. Do a little Hard Gay. And bounce. Thanks to Alau for letting us stay at his pad. And thanks to his parents for sheltering four gay dudes who are super loud. Damn it Andrew No More You-Tube! HAHAHA BOOGIEZONE what?
Next Morning! Rise and Shine Placebo!
We are outside getting ready to bounce!
Us leaving Frisco. Kinda Sad. So I took some shots to remember the good times.
Hope you liked the slide show. See you again San Francisco.
A few words from the blogger:
Well, that's it! The trip was dope! Besides being a sick bunch, this trip has got to be one of my favorites. We had a little drama, a little alcohol, and a little fun. Damn, what more do you need. Thanks to all those people who made this trip possible. Without you guys, this trip would have been bunk. No planning and full of surpizes. Let's try and do this again. PEACE OUT!
Special Footage!
Oh and on the way back we had Mcdonalds!
