Hat-tip – [Redacted]
Here are two more things my Dad taught me that help me make sense of and navigate the world of today:
1. The ME Factor:
The ME factor stands for Motive and Expertise. That is to say, whenever some tells you something or commands you to do something, you can employ the ME factor to make quick sense of it. When a teacher tells you 2 + 2 = 4, the ME factor would tell you that his motive is to teach you, as he is paid to do so, and his expertise is that he’s got a degree in math or at the very least knows how to work with math better than you can. In light of the recent trend with schooling these days, a better example could be a father telling his son what to do. The father’s motive is that he wants what is best for his son (generally family does, though not always) and his expertise is that he is accomplished enough that he has procured himself a mate and procreated (and is still alive!).
2. Must Do, Should Do, Wanna Do:
Whether you are trying to get organized or get done a lot of tasks, especially if you overwhelmed, the Must Do, Should Do, and Wanna Do is good way to make sense of things so you can cut through the bull shit and get things done.
Everyone understands how to do the Must Do’s. Must Do’s are eating food, going to a job interview, going to the hospital, the obvious important stuff. Everyone is good at doing the Wanna Dos. Wanna Dos, of course, are things like playing video games, reading books, watching movies, or any other activity one pursues in one’s leisure time.
Where people go wrong is Should Do’s. Should Do’s are things like, should study for a test, should do home work, should clean room, should pay bills today and not tomorrow, and etc. People have trouble with Should Do’s because they are more important than Wanna Do’s but not as important as Must Do’s for someone to have to do them right now. Inevitably and understandably, people put off Should Do’s until later. Most people who do this forget to them later or put them off even more. Then when Should Do’s become Must Do’s people panic because they’re screwed.
If you ever feel panicked with a bunch of tasks or overwhelmed with life, make a list of Must Do’s, Should Do’s, and Wanna Do’s. Do them in order. Must Do’s first, Should Do’s second, and Wanna Do’s (third) at your leisure.

If you want to make an impact on a girl, or develop a deeper connection with, a la deep conversion, as spoken about by Krauser and Xsplat, you should strive to become a phase of her life. Some of you may discount this idea and disparage its transient nature and argue that one should strive to be more permanent. While those arguments hold value, they miss the forest for the trees. The idea is that one sees phases of life everywhere. Everyone has that friend that listens to different music in different phases of his life. Sure, he eventually moves on to a new genre or band, but he never forgets that music he listened to or how it made him feel. Listening to that music is now a part of him and nothing can take that away from him.
Girls often have a friend who goes through boyfriends like an incontinent goes through toilet paper. Another friend goes through a slower, serial monogamy. One boyfriend after another. But they never really forget all the boyfriends they had. What they learned with each boyfriend and felt will be with them forever.
For those men suspiscious of the example with the girls, think of yourself, or a friend who is going through or has went through oneitis. You want to do that with a girl.
How do you do that?
You do that without thinking by having a special song. You listen to a certain song, album, or kind of music while spending time together (read: fucking). Hearing this music will bring out memories of time together and if you listened to a certain song while fucking (or right before), it can also get you horny.
You do this to yourself by listening to certain music during certain phases of your life. For example, I listened to a lot of Rammstein during high school and when I hear it I remember trying to sing along to the songs and adopt the singer’s vocal mannerisms to improve my German. I also remember giving myself homework assignments analyzing their songs and trying to come up with German poems that I could submit to the band with the intent that they’d make my poems into songs.
You take an experience and make it have such emotional traction that a woman will be reminded of it by various things through the rest of her years. The best way I can describe it – if you’ve ever felt oneitis for a girl, damn nearly everything reminded of her or an interaction with her in some way.

I was reading the [Redacted] when I came across this video by Bill Burr, An Epidemic of Gold Digging Whores.

Roosh V recently published his latest book, Bang Ukraine.
He was kind enough to provide me with a review copy, so I’m reviewing his book to return the favor.
I found that the book was well written with no obvious spelling errors or grammar mistakes as always. Some people may be annoyed by the constant use of Kharkiv because they think Kharkov is correct, but it turns out that Kharkiv is correct.
Roosh’s writing has improved over time and it really shows in this book, his tenth travel book, and last labor of love. His humor is dry and subtle but does not take away from all the good information that people seek these books out for. His combination of wit and and accurate inferences from boots on the ground experience make his book a pleasure to read and a key resource to refer to when one wishes to be Ukraine bound in the near future or is already in trenches with the best of them.
His information is clearly formatted in easy to find chunks in the table of contents and the story is as easy to follow as it is a pleasure to read. One does not have to read the whole book more than once to find out what type of game plan it is that Roosh is trying to explain to you. As it is his last labor of love, this book is the longest in the series and the anecdotes about the Danish cockblocking incident brought me to laughter with near tears in my eyes. Of course, my favorite part about Roosh is his book reads as a story of a fellow human forging a path ahead on his journey of life. I could not help but feel a lump in my throat with how well he handled his relationship with the Ukrainian teacher even as he could see and feel himself fading from it. No one can possibly read this book and conclude that Roosh is not human, like yourself. For that reason, I hope with all my heart that he keeps writing, even if only for the refreshment reading his prose brings.
Of course there are other reviews by bloggers who wax more eloquent than I can here.My favorite one is by Kid Strangelove, take a look.

P.S. You can buy the book here.
An inspiring reddit post:
The Younger Generation is waking up.
For context, I am a female high school student in Massachusetts.
Today in my Biology class, the teacher looks up from his computer screen and asks us all, “Are there any young ladies in the room, raise your hands.”
So, all of the girls (and a couple guys that were trying to be funny) raise their hands.
“1, 2, … alright, looks like there are 13 girls in the room. Next week, some women from MIT are coming to the school to talk to y’all about engineering. Is anyone interested?”
My hand instantly shot up. (I fucking love engineering). Then I kind of blurted out, “Wait, just girls? Why can’t guys go?”
“Uh… I don’t really know. I didn’t organize this, MIT did. Don’t shoot the messenger, <name>.” Looking around, I guess he was upset that I was the only one with my hand up, so he threw in “you get to miss class.” At that point pretty much every girl’s hand went up. “Alright, 13 people!”
Then a boy (who I know for a fact is a huge engineering geek) got all upset and asked the teacher why he wasn’t counted, even though his hand was up.
“This is just for girls.”
“But how’s that fair?! I care way more about this stuff than most of them! Oh, uh, no offense guys.”
“I did not organize this, people. I’m just reading from an email.”
At that point I asked, to noone in particular, if this sort of thing was even legal. It’s a public school, our parents’ tax dollars should be expected to go toward everyone equally. To my surprise, a bunch of people agreed with me.
A couple boys started complaining that they didn’t want to do extra work while we listened to a fun lecture, so the teacher promised them that they could get to watch cartoons and have a free period.
Then a girl yelled out that it wasn’t fair that only the guys got to watch cartoons. “Nobody is forcing you to go see the MIT women talk.” “Oh, yeah. Forgot.”
The teacher went back to his computer, and normal chitchat ensued. But a bunch of us started talking about how unfair it was that only the girls got to go. The boy glared at me and said, “then why are you going?”. “Cause I love this stuff.” “Sexist.” We got into an argument, about half the class, over whether or not we were sexists by going to the lecture. I think the general consensus was that we were sexists in the same way that black people who get special college grants aimed toward black people are racist, and left it at that.
At lunch, the principal was standing in the cafeteria for some reason. (Usually it’s just the vice principals or guidance counselors.) I asked her why she was only letting the engineers from MI talk to girls.
“I didn’t decide that it was only for girls. They’re allowed to do it because that’s what their grant was for.” (I don’t know what that means, by the way.)
“Doesn’t this violate Title IX?”
“That only applies to sports.” A couple kids at my table started objecting, saying that Title IX doesn’t only apply to sports. Then some of the upperclassmen a few tables over heard and yelled out that it “wasn’t cool” that girls got to “skip class” while they had to do work.
She said there were too many men in engineering.
“No there ain’t! If you treat all the sexes equally, eventually that’ll just balance itself out!”
“No, <name>, we need to, as educators, make sure that no gender is being overrepresented in any academic field.”
Eventually more people started asking her questions and arguing amongst themselves until she left. (I might add, she looked really frustrated.)
A couple guys in my grade said they were going to walk in and wouldn’t go out unless they dragged them. I really doubt that’ll happen, though.
I gotta say, I was surprised by the general response to this blatant sexism. Last year, I had an argument with a teacher who made us write essays about how women are disadvantaged in the modern workplace. Practically nobody sided with me.
When I refused to go to the single-gendered “Girls club” every Friday at lunch in the 6th grade, kids called me weird.
Then in more recent years, every time somebody was misandrist, hey would take the misandrist’s side.
Not this time, though. I know a few girls who aren’t going because they think it’s too sexist. I personally am too much of a lazy hypocrite, but still. And people are getting pissed off left and right, asking why they felt the need to have a lecture just for girls when we only get one or two speakers a year.
Happy about it.
Little by little, the lies slip and get found out and meanwhile the pendulum swings.

I came across this post from Heartiste’s Twitter feed:
An excerpt:
Everybody unplugs in their own way.
This was mine.
In the throes of divorce I stumbled on this article while reading tech news:
Ziff Davis Net: Ten fake profiles, one OkCupid experiment: OkCupid On Trial
…which led me to the original source:
John Millward: Cupid on Trial: A 4-month Online Dating Experiment Using 10 Fictional Singletons
…and somehow I ended up at Chateau Heartiste:
Chateau Heartiste: Results From An Online Dating Experiment
I felt a little like Neo when he had just woken up, but hadn’t yet been flushed down the commode.
“Whoa!”
I was like “alpha” and “beta”? Like wolves? A wolfpack?
What the hell is “SMV”?
I’ve heard of polygamy, I’ve experience monogamy. What the hell is hypergamy. Sounds fun, where can I get some?

I’ve just got a reliable internet source after relocating to Germany.
After taking an extended break from posting, it is interesting how many potential blog posts pop up from time to time and how fast you lose them if you don’t write them down.
I probably will not have a solid posting schedule until some time next week, so I’ll start by re blogging some posts I think are especially good and post other ideas I have haphazardly until I get organized.

The year 2012 was good, but 2013 will be better. In fact, I am excited. This past year has felt like a year of waiting for things to happen and waiting to begin my plans and my next transformation. I’m excited for 2013 and the possibilities it entails. So I present my plans, not my resolutions, my plans for 2013. I may not complete all my goals. That is not the point. The point is that I spend this year achieving things and reaching heights I have never reached before. This is the year I shall truly shine and pick up my stride. I know it. I feel it in my bones.
Without further ado, here they are, in no particular order:
Physical:
I will workout until I am able to:
When I complete those goals, I will work out until I am able to:
