valentine's day 2012 - Off-topic

hey OT !!
Valentine's day is coming up pretty soon.
I know we've been going through the same thing every year, ranting bout it's all part of the market's plan to boost item sales and chocolates and blah blah. That's one way to look at it.
anyway, any of you got special plans you'd like to share with us ?
or is it just myself that i tend to over-fantasise on these kind of things cuz im still a kid ?

I don't think it's just you.
I'm sure there's plenty of other XDA members that are doing something for V day.
Mind you my guy (and no I'm not a girl) is not into chocolate much so flowers and teddy bears are what I'm aiming, besides he loves flowers say I could buy them more often. Got a nice little place called Black Tomato's booked for us and friends.
Men last year for the V day special they had this amazing Lamb chop souflé and salad (5 course meal) for 35$... WAS amazing. Just check out the pics.
The desert was just as equally enjoyable.
Very much looking forward to diner with friends on Tuesday it's going to be great.

Favorite NFL Team?

I gotta go with the Dallas Cowboys!
But, this year I don't see them going all the way. Romo still has a little more conditioning to do in my opinion. Also, T.O. is out for a couple games. :\
So who is your Favorite NFL Team?
Mine is the one with best record
Romo has been done in by the Jessica! She is nothing but bad luck...
Au contraire, mon ami... the correct answer is the reigning NFL champion Indianapolis Colts.
The Pats are gonna crash and burn...
cowboys
(only because someone gave me 3 cowboys shirts last year-i really don't know why! but they're cool in the summertime...)
I wouldn't be surprised if the colts won the super bowl again this year
NEW YORK GIANTS!!!!

I never had anything against the Giants but damn.. Eli needs to become a little more reliable. That game against the Bills... the Giants defense won that game for them.
Well, I'm am a home town kind of fan. I was born just south of St. Louis so I started out a Cardinal fan. (Yes a Cardinal FOOTBALL fan) I moved to Louisiana in 77 and for over 25 years I tried really really really hard to be a Saints fan........ but they never fail in finding ways to disappoint. Now I live in the Dallas area, so I'm gonna give them Cowboys a try. Ready made dynasty with 5 S.B. championships. I think they are going to be a team I can get behind. Looks like TO has shed the primadonna status and the drama that goes along with it. Just need him back and healthy. Romo has come into his own, but he needs to shed the distraction if you know what I mean. He also needs a little more maturity and experience. If they make it to the Super Bowl, it may be more pressure than he can take.
I have to pull for the Patriots somewhat.... they have one of my kin folk playing on that team (Wes Welker) so I gotta hope he does well.

Do you want the Cardinals back? I'm sure we Arizonans can arrange to cover the shipping charges...
Denver Broncos. Though their past is more interesting than current performance.

LOL, I wondered if someone was going to make that offer. I think the folks in St. Louis might pass on that.
I grew up in New Hampshire and have been a life long Patriots fan. I remember watching them get demolished by the Bears in their first Super Bowl. That just makes these last few and this season so much sweeter. I was hoping for two perfect teams this year, but Miami had to blow that by winning a game!
Did any of y'all watch the Pats - Ravens game? I'll prob get flamed now.. but Murderin Ray Lewis and the Ravens went to town on the Pats in that game. I also feel that they won. The time out called on that 4th down play was by a ravens staff member who legally was not allowed to make time out calls. The refs ignored it.
Ravens won that imho.
This makes 3 for the Cowboys! And yes, I think we might go all the way...
I HATE THE COWGIRLS!!!

Well my lifelong beloved team has had some very bad seasons...however, I have always been and always will remain a loyal member of the Raider Nation!!
Oakland RAIDERS!!!
PS- the thumbnail is actually my first boot screen, and I have another Raiders image on my second boot screen...this is how much I love my team...pretty much everything I own has some form of Raiders insignia on it!
16 wins, a all time NFL record. The Pat's ROCK!! They seem extra motivated by the negative-press and non-believer's...

Yeah i think the Ravens deserved to win that game, but the thing about the Pats is that even though they've almost lost several games, they still pull out the W if even at the last second. And although Im not a fan and i was rooting for them to lose as much as anybody, I think they are an amazing team.

I hear you on that, but today actually is about sex and lots of it disguised as the day of "love", hmm, it's the day of love making. if I remember correctly november is statistically the month that most babies are born.
it's a day created for woman to get gifts and for men to some pumz. it's one of the laws of alchemy: equivalent exchange. you buy her a nice gift and you best believe she's gonna do some next stuff in the bed room/bathroom/living-room floor or car/hotel for those can't do it in the house.....you buy her a so so gift and you prolly only get to go one round with her.
so to recap, it's not a day of love, it's a day of love making. give your girl/significant other a nice gift and she'll/who ever will return the favour.
happy humping!
got some nice views

MLB

yes...major league baseball...since this is the off topic forum, and spring exhibition games are just days away!
I invite all baseball fans to talk about their teams, likes, dislikes, views on specific players
..as everyon can see from my avatar, I am an AVID yankee fan, and am fairly confident 2009 = 27
even if we 'bought' our team, its the yankees being the yankees, hate it or love it (i love it)
and NO I am not a fan because of there extensive pay roll or all-star lineup
Boooooooo! Orioles!

You are hereby expelled from Red Sox Nation and have 30 days to move out of R I .
Even with your " bought team ", I will make some predictions. Burnett will turn into the Burnett the Jays wasted millions on. Sabathia will wilt under the pressure and media glare of New York ( ala Randy Johnson ), Hal and Hank are just idiots and will never measure up to Dad, No matter how much money they spend.
Joba will never live up to the hype, too much too soon. Alex will be dogged and distracted all year by steroids and Madonna. We will see how Teixeira plays now that he is a rich man, set for life and really has everything to prove, but nothing to play for anymore. Posada is done, Matsui is done. Damon is done.
And Girardi won't be able to keep the circus together, like Torre did.
Watching the RED SOX in the World Series will be tough for N.Y. but hey they must be getting used to it by now. Go Sox

*tear*
nothing can be said on burnette and sabathia, except that ..YOUR WRONG haha...we will have to wait until the season begins, however, Burnette will be getting better run support which will lead to more wins, giving him better confidence, and check his stats, last year, 35 games 231SO 86BB, not so shabby, that 18w 10L will translate to 21-9, and sabathia, im going to say 23w - 7L
damon, done. this is true, cabrera will step up his season, if he doesnt then he goes bye bye, and he wants to stay in NY.
Matsui is still a quality hitter, if we already have a DH he will be a valuable trade option, perhaps up the bullpen. Joba has pretty much already proven himself. Phil Hughes, should take his job as set up man, unless there is a injury to the starting rotation. and Giradi has already done a hell of a job last season with the mess he was brought into
hank + hals dicks will never be as big as Georgey boy, this is true
and p.s I excommunicated myself from R.S nation a long time ago...born a yankee fan
..anything i miss lol
Do you have Manila 2D on your Tilt w/ HD IV ?

Red Sox are going all the way this year ! NYY spent tons of $$$ just to lose again this year....
Sorry, I had to.....

Anyone else hate the holidays?

I appreciate the idea behind the holidays, but since those ideas are mostly lost on sales and media hype plus the fact I'm a miserable pos, add in personal problems, I f***** hate holidays. I know I'm not alone. Or am I? I say f*** fake smiles and lies. Everyone just stay home and order Chinese food.

I like the Holidays. My birthday is on December 25th...
Sorry, I don't share your POV

I'd go mental without the holidays. Working in a place you don't overly enjoy means you cherish any day you get away from the place.
I love the holidays. Lots of classic movies being shown on the TV.

I don't hate the holidays, but I do hate what they have become. It's just another excuse to guilt-trip people with little or no money into parting with what they do have, just to line the pockets of some fat git who owns a shop or two. I've tried asking people that normally get me gifts not to get me anything, but they just ignored that and bought me stuff anyway. This year I've asked that they donate to a charity of my choice instead. Let's see how that goes down.
To me, it should be about a time of celebrating and enjoying the company of family and friends - people who you care about. It's not about giving gifts. That's just commercial crap that's been drummed into us since birth.
But yes. Drunk for days

Well said!
Of course, they won't want to give to charity because charity doesn't give back. People need to get away from this 'give-to-receive' culture. As you said, everybody's spending money they don't have and lining the pockets of those who do already have it.
Give love, give kindness, give hugs... but if i need socks i'll go buy them myself thank you very much!

That's the thing - I'm still gonna buy gifts for people as I don't want to upset anyone that expects it. I find it quite ironic that I'm the one that decides to go against the "make the rich richer" idea, but I'm still the one that ends up buying gifts for people.
So anyway, are we talking about all holidays here, or is it just the international codeword for Christmas?

All holidays. I'll even go one step further, and include any family/social events where people who don't like each other fake it and act all cheery.

I used to hate holidays, but then i realised that as long as you stay far away from everyone else in the world, holidays are actually awesome! My advice, if it looks like you're going to be surrounded by people and unable to get a minute to yourself, go book into a nice hotel room and stay there until it's all over!
Thankfully i have sanctuary at home and don't get disturbed. Holidays are just bonus time off work!
I don't care for holidays either. It's like a mandatory hang-out. If I wanted to be around someone, then I'd be around them. Why would I want to pretend and force it?
I don't want people buying me stuff that I didn't want in the first place, and then I can't even return it to the store because 1. it's not customary to give the receipt with a gift and 2. they'll be upset if I get rid of it.
I don't want to have to try and guess what item each person would like me to buy them, only to have them interpret my choice of gift as if there's some hidden meaning behind why I chose that particular gift.
Holidays/celebrations just seem full of forced feelings, unnecessary traditions, and reluctance to go against what everybody else is doing because of the fear of being that one person everybody's talking about. 'He said he doesn't want anybody to buy him any gifts for Christmas, and he doesn't even celebrate his birthday or New Year's. Weeeeird!'
When I accomplish a long sought-after goal, or one of my friends/family get some sort of really good news or something, I don't mind celebrating it. But I would celebrate because I genuinely see a reason for it. How is the fact that it is the date that you were born on X number of years ago equate to candles, cake, ice cream, and gifts? It seems a little OCD to me to keep track of dates like b-days, anniversaries, holidays, and the like. But it is overlooked in the name of celebration.
It's a mixed emotions for me. Like what the other poster said it's like forcing yourself to be with someone you don't really want to be with. But there are times where I get to meet a mutual friend of a family, which most of the time are really nice people.
well, I personally love the holidays. I love having a whole week off to get away from school and spending time with family. I also love the snow (which doesn't apply to people who live in hot areas lol.)
I don't mind gifts but it does make me feel kind of guilty that people spend so much money on them when that money could go to places like charity.
I hate holidays, and the fact that I work in a store that already had christmas decorations and sweets in goddamn september doesn't help.
On the other hand, holiday food FTW.

Well put. Every cloud has a silver lining, and a decent Christmas meal makes up for at least some of the crap that comes with the holiday season!
I abhor the holidays most of them have lost traditional meaning and became a corporate gimmick
Such a G, posting on the fly from my epically epic
I feel the same way as you, on top of me not really having much of a family anymore to celebrate it with Sucks

Vapercon 2012 anyone???

Its going to be in Richmond Va Oct 12-13. Wondering if any "Vapor Heads" here plan on attending. Must be at least 18 of course.
Yes it was tested on animals, didn't fit.
If it's what I think it is I might just have to. I have a birthday not long before then so I certainly have an excuse to.
Its for people who use, and build/sell personal vaporizers. I.e. e cigs. Some people use no nicotine, others have varying strengths of nic in their liquid.
I literally just tried my first batch of 0% nic, 100% VG.
Didn't turn out as good as I really want it but its still pretty awesome. Lmk if you're going.
Yes it was tested on animals, didn't fit.
Oh yeah, bump for OT exposure
Yes it was tested on animals, didn't fit.
that sounds like fun i need to make a trip to va havent been there in a long time my moms fam is from va beach, chesapeake, norfolk area
yeah it should be fun. from what i saw on youtube of last years event, its pretty awesome. they have some give aways and door prizes, and you get to see the faces of teh websites selling all the goodies. im mainly going because i want to hang out with the other vapor nerds like myself.
Thinking about it. I just got home today from Vapexpo in Michigan. It was a blast! From what I hear Vapercon will be better. But for our first big meet like this it was pretty well attended. Vapercon is a lot farther away so it will be a little harder for me to get to. Considering Vapexpo was only about an hour away. If this is your first one. Its pretty over whelming. Seeing everything you have been reading about all together is overload! Bring some cash cause your going to need it!!!! I bought a few mods and slew of other stuff. I only planned on some cartos, drip tips and some juice. Spent almost 300.00. But I wont need anything for quite some time now. Like I said it was a good time!! My screen name is a device I use.
Shaweet...... glad to know at least some people here are vapers. Hope you can attend in Oct. I'm going and there is a local dude having a pre VC party here in VA.
(Paid for by the BZ MOTO Administration)
I'll be there.
Yayyyy....... more vaper friends!!!!!
(Paid for by the BZMOTO Administration)
Im going now!! Booked a flight, made room reservations and Im all set!! Looking forward to it. Ill be there 11th thru the 14th. We need to get something going so we can meet up. I know a few people attending. Maybe we could meet in the bar Thursday evening. What do you think?
I'd love to. Depends on the work schedule. Transitioning from autozone to the new Amazon.com warehouse that just opened. Might just quit autozone...... lmao
