Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!! You sir, are my new hero! As that one girl said - BRUTAL TYPE-O! I still can't stop laughing. Tears are coming out of my eyes, I'm gasping for breath, and at the same time, I feel my dinner coming up my throat. I shall spread this everywhere - you will become an internet celebrity! God bless you! Or Satan, whatever =)

Cool article. I'm not really sure if it belongs in the questions section, but with all the crap some people write, it's nice to see something interesting and motivational for a change. Is this going to be something like your blog?

These are people with too much time on their hands. Also, they obviously have some issues. The good thing about online communication, though, is that you can just ignore them, which is what I usually do. There are plenty of nice people online and on this site, that deserve more attention than the jerks who cry for it (trough their childish, ignorant, or abusive messages).

Damn, do you people ever ask anything language related...? =) As for the kiss, I almost got forced into it at my friend's party by some girl - I resisted for hours, only to end up liking it.

I'm with Jura on this one: BBC used to be the gold standard for formal English (nowadays it's not that good, but it's still worth watching), and you can also watch CNN to get a taste of American English. Also, I find the Discovery channel and National Geographic quite good for learning English (and a little bit about science and nature =) ). And of course, "The Simpsons" and "Family guy" are a great and funny way to improve your informal English. Also, check out the British series "The Worst Week Of My Life", and "Coupling" (it's the British equivalent of "Friends"). When it comes to movies, there are a lot, but here are some that I really liked, and that might be interesting for you: - Stranger than Fiction - Napoleon Dynamite (it's a bit strange, but a lot of people, including me, find it hilarious) - 40 Year Old Virgin - Shallow Hal - Superbad - Barber of Siberia (my whole family liked it, I didn't watch it myself) - American History X (this movie is not a comedy, it handles the subject of racism in the USA) - The Last King Of Scotland - Catch me if you can These are just suggestions - I'm sure that there are a lot of great TV series and movies that I couldn't think of right now =)

I was studying vigorously, and passing exam after exam. It was so far my best year at the university. I also dated a very muscular female bodybuilder for a short while. It was one of my most carefree summers. All we did was hang around and play basketball all day, and by coincidence, our city was hosting the World Basketball Championship for players under 19 years old, so we got to watch a lot of great games. Of course, that was a long time ago. Now, I'm old and wrinkled and have nephews, and a small head...

If people have a choice, they will always pick that which is aesthetically pleasing. Now, here are some facts: 1) Most people (guys and girls) on this site, and other networking sites, are hoping to have a relationship with someone. (Like you didn't know that...) 2) Even the more reasonable people (that understand that they cannot easily form a bond with somebody who is thousands of miles away from them) like to have lots of pretty pictures on their friends lists =) 3) You can always decline somebody's invitation if you suspect that they only want you for your good looks. I, personally, came here to improve my 日本語, and then I figured - "What the heck, I can make friends from all around the world." I'm also aware that a lot of people are not who they say they are (you yourself could be a 40 year old fat man impersonating a cute Chinese girl), and I'm also aware of the fact that even if I actually meet somebody I really like, the chances of us meeting in person are astronomical. That's why I just chill out, enjoy my time on this site, and try to make some new friends, regardless of what they look like (but if they're jerks, they're off my friends list - that hasn't happened yet, though...=) ).
