Intersex communication problems

, , , ...

This is a really old topic. None the less I did some fieldwork and want to share my results especially with the male readers. I'm going to concentrate on one certain topic for which I want to cite:
"There are no stupid questions. There are only stupid answers!"
This citation is really incorrect. It should go like:
"There are stupid questions. There are just few intelligent answers to it."
Maybe stupid was better replaced with superfluous. So why am I saying this? When men talk, they do it for a certain purpose. Women do that too! But women often talk to ... to ... just to talk. So there is a discrepancy which can be poison to closer realtionships between men and women. A woman will never say to a men "Talk to me." nor will she use trite phrases like "The whether is nice today.". She will ask a question! No matter if she has any sensible question at hand, she will ask a question!. Let's have a look at an example of my fieldwork:

scenario: man stood up earlier than woman and has just finished having breakfast when the woman sits down on the table.
woman: Have you eaten something?
man: No, I just toasted some bread, punched it on my forehead several times to leave some crumbs on the table and mounted it in my San Andreas Rift to smuggle it to the toilet!
woman has a metaphoric questionmark in her face
man: Ah yeah, and I hauled the knife through my suppurative furuncle to make it look like used.
result: the morning atmosphere reaches the freezing point.

What has gone wrong here? The man is like "Wtf? Use your eyes and you'll know the answer!". And another capital mistake is the irony. Be careful with irony and women in general. There are many who have even darker humor than me. But be careful. Especially in the morning! What the woman wanted to ask was ... or better to say was: "Hey, talk to me smile"

If you're not one of the lucky guys meeting a girl able to handle such reactions - or even better, not asking such questions - realize what you have! It's not contervailable with anything! For all other men: We have to learn how to react the right way in such situations.

You're now confronted with another scenario. We start with something simple.
scenario: Man stood up, went into the bathroom to get rid of some liquids and comes back. The woman is sitting on a chair in front of a mirror and busy with her hair. The curtains are all closed and it's darker outside than under Rosie O'Brians skirt anyway.
woman: Will it rain today?
a) man: Oh no, did I put that Haddad face on again? Stupid convulsions ...
b) man: Heck, how should I know?
c) man: Regarding the weather forecast it will rain a bit in the afternoon.
d) man: Hmm, I'm not quite sure. Better take a coat with you when you go out.


So ... what have you said? a, b, c or d? Think good about it!
You have taken a? Worst way to go. It was no answer to the question, offensive as it shows her how stupid this question was and irony in a morning. Your relationships will not last long if you get used to such answers!
You have taken b? Well, you're honest. But that's really not what she wanted to hear. She'll forgive you.
You have taken c? That's a good unoffensive answer. Unfortunately she didn't really want to know if it will rain.
You have taken d? THAT'S A HIT!

You're getting the concept ...

How to build a simple foldable paper farmhouse

Here we go: lesson number 1.
If you have no idea what I am talking about, please read my previous post.
Here comes the blueprint for the simple farmhouse. Click on the picture to get a bigger preview. For a printout you should use the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) file I provide.

You can get the SVG file via this rapidshare link
If you are using Opera web browser you can view the SVG file within Opera. Same with Firefox. For Internet Explorer and other browsers you will need the SVG plugin by Adobe. For best printouts and manipulation of SVG files, you should use Inkscape. Inkscape is free for non-Windows platforms.

Instructions:
There is not much to instruct on this simple sample wink
The continuous lines are were you have to cut.
The dotted lines are were you have to fold the paper.
The hatched areas are were you will connect the parts with adhesive. Note that you do not have to put the adhesive on the printed side in all cases. It's left to your commonsense to find out on which side the adhesive belongs wink

The blueprint is designet to fit on a DIN A4 sheet. The octagonal ground plate has to be glued to a stronger paperboard. Something like sketch or watercolour paper is sufficient.


Currently I can not put fotos on my pc right now, so they will come later (of course I checked if this design works in parctice) wink


Have fun trying this!

Building foldable buildings out of paper

, , , ...

Recently I remembered hat I once was pretty creative. I build buildings and other stuff collapsable like a book which will "pop up" when opening it. My masterpiece was a scene with a castle, a wizard tower, a farmhouse and some more ... all in all pretty medieval. I know for sure that I took a foto of the finished product but I can only find some shots of the production phase. Here they are so you get an idea what I am talking about: (click on the images to see full size images)


Here you see the farmhouse and the wizard tower.
The farmhouse is pretty simple to build. But the round tower, even if it looks simple, is pretty difficult already.
You should see the inner side wink


Notice the scrawl in the background which were the first minute for the castle


Notice the bag on the left side.
It already contained all parts of the castle (mostly not colorized at that state).

I created all this in during my art upper classes. My art classes took not place in the school but in a "culture centre". In the end I gave it to my teacher who wanted to show it to his students and exhibit it in the culture center. After so many years I would feel bad to go there and get it back. But maybe I can drop in there some time and take a photo of the final result.

But why am I showing you all this?
First of all I think it's fun to look at wink
Ok, no - I think my blog could need some real content (beside worlds best humor wink
What I plan is to show you (if you're interested) how to build such foldable paper buildings, step by step. This is what is to come.

1.) How to build a simple farmhouse

2.) How to build a simple farmhouse with a shed attached to it

3.) How to place things like persons or trees around your farmhouse

4.) How to build a farmhouse with a chimney (this is more difficult than it sounds wink)

5.) How to build foldable round objects (a tower in the upcoming example)


I will create SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics which are displayable and printable with Opera) as blueprints. So you will be able to simply print them out, glue them to stronger paperboard if needed, cut it out and glue it together. Or you can overtake the blueprints to fitting paperboard directly; more work, but it looks better. I'm thinking about providing precolored blueprints for those who do not have the time or patience to colorize all parts.

I hope you will enjoy it,
Jacob

Digging through my old hard disc ...

, , ,


First of all, I'm a professional digger.

No, really! Look at that picture at the right. Isn't that perfect in form digging? Don't you see the esthetic? Don't you see the passion I hold the spade with? I mean ... what ever you think - I love digging! And I stick to it!


You don't buy it, huh?



So watch me digging on youtube!!!


Anyway ... I was about telling you about digging through my old hard disc. It was really shocking! It remembered me on many things which had better kept in the darkness of forgetfulness for ever! Like I wanted to see handouts from my hated economy lessons. And the photos ... no, no really, I stop here - it's to much!

But I also found some funny stuff. Several drawings are the silent testimony of my boredom during school time.
Click the worm below to check it out if you're interested wink




Enough for now!
Being out digging,

Absorbism - a pseudo religion for non-believers

, , ,

Surrounded by many believers - Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhist ... - I'm one of the seemingly more rare Atheists in my environment. From my point of view I'm not lacking any believe; I am a convinced non-believer. Whenever I see any believers life I see some cultural aspects not having any counerpart in my life.
Am I lacking some cultural life?

I just created something i am calling 'blibbels'. I'll throw in some blibbels[/IMG]from time to time to make things less readable and to underline dizzy and out of joint insertions.

Just to go sure I invented my own religion, perfectly fitting people who have no place for irrational mights in their weltanschauung, but featuring several cultural aspects perfectly integrating into the daily life.[/IMGRIGHT]Core of the whole idea is the 'Great Absorber'.
The great absorber is a genetically modified hyena stomach. The Great Absorber shall open and close the circle of life. So it needs a pretty strong stomach to absorb everything. Hyena stomaches are perfect for this purpose ... they could digest a car battery if they were stupid enough to eat it.[/IMG]So at the end of all our lifes is the Great Absorber absorbing us and emitting the basis for new life ... one could call it ur-shit. Perfect fertilizer, concentrated nourishment, sealing compund and funny to play with.
Also handy about the Great Absorber is, that there can be many Great Absorbers. Believers can go to their nearest Great Absorber, see it, feel it, smell it ... nothing to doubt about!Absorbism flawlessly integrates into your daily life. Everyday religious center is not the Great Absorber, but the Small Absorber in you! There is no need to go to any church regularly. Just honor the Little Absorber in you! You can honot your Little Absorber by eating a tasty peace of cake, by drinking a cup of cappuccino, a good glas of vine and many other things. If you treat your Little Absorber well he will be grateful and help make you feeling better. A balanced healthy relation to your Little Absorber, which includes at least three daily prayers, will most likely improve your life and make you a real Absorbist. There are no fictive walls for conversion. The decision to be an Absorbist is completely up to You!Have you found what you were searching for your whole life?
Start becoming an Absorbist with your next meal!

Jacob wink

The beginning ...

, , ,

... of senseless stuff:
From time to time weird thoughts are going through my head and I think they could conjure a smile to many peoples face. So I'll try not to keep them back and share my weirdness.
First of all a little introduction to myself:
I was born in Hannover, Germany and went to Bremen where I grew up, when I was five. For a very short period I had my first residence in Emden and made my driver's license in Leer. So all in all one could say I'm a north German. Having weird friends and taking drugs I damaged my brain, making me what I am. People claim that I have a split personality, and I was stupid enough to confirm that by giving it names: Blobbo, KomplexoR, SpasmotroN and some minor important. Ah, yeah, forgot myself: Jacob wink
The introduction to the facets of my personality will be step by step ... take the lunacy in small portions!
Just as a little preview you'll get a drawing I made of KomplexoR, lurking right next to a playground
