Moral confusion in the name of ‘science’

I had argument about this topic with so many people; Does morality comes from religion? Every religious person will say yes. But others will definitely disagree including me.

Various authors and journalist have discussed this topic, including Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and other scientists.

Here’s a debate between Christopher Hitchens vs Al Sharpton..By the way, Christopher Hitchen will school anybody when it comes to debating about god. If you wanna know more about Hitchen’s you should read ‘god is not great; how religion poisons everything.’ although I must say its a bit one sided.

Anyways, the reason I decided to write an article on morality is because the author ‘Sam Harris’ did a talk at the 2010 TED conference last week. It was a pretty good lecture, although he didn’t talk about much since he only had 20 minutes..but make sure the check the video and the article where he responded to his critics.

Catholic Priests…

I find it astonishing to see people are still affiliated with the catholic church even when there’s sooo many sexual abuse cases not just in America, but all around the world.  If this was a different organization, people would leave for sure.

What’s fucked up is no priest is going to jail for this. If a regular guy gets caught for sexually abusing a kid, he would for sure spent atleast 10-20 years in prison. But you don’t see these fucking priests in jail..

Anyways, I truly despise religion, and I do believe it does more harm than good…but that’s a discussion for a different post.

Check out this article at Huffington Post when Christopher Hitchens was on ‘Real time with Bill Maher’

Song of the day: Kyau & Albert - once in a life

Today’s song of the day goes to DJ Kyau & Albert. I heard their new single at Above & Beyond podcast (Trance Around The World) and I immediately feel in love with it..I have been a fan of Kyau & Albert for a while and I think this is one of their best songs yet…

So the health care bill FINALLY passed today. Although I would like to see Universal Health care system for all, its never gonna happen in America; at least for now. But this is just a start, maybe 10, 20 years from now, we might get universal health care, who knows..

Do women have all the power??

imageI just have to say that David Shade is the fucking MAN. I wish I knew about him in high school and even in college. He is considered the top sex & relationship expert and has been teaching men how to be better with women for the past 12 years. I only recently found out about him a few month ago, and after getting a copy of one of his book, I gotta say that I learned sooo much from him. Not only he talks about how to give women amazing orgasms (which I can tell you from my personal experience that it definitely works) but the most important thing is to pick the right women. The problem is that we men think we know a lot about women, but we sure don’t.

If you don’t know who David Shade is, and you want to know more about him, you should definitely subscribe to his email. He sends out weekly emails answering questions from people like you and me. The problem with guys is that once we get a girlfriend we think we have it all covered, but its actually quite the opposite. Keeping her attracted to you is the hardest part. (this happened to me many times before)

I think he has about 4 or 5 books, but the one that I recently read was ‘The secrets of female sexuality: be the masterful lover women crave’ which is a must read for every men.

Anyways, I will talk more about him later on a different post, but make sure to check out this 10 minute video.

Bill Maher “New Rule: March 12th, 10”

image I am a big fan of Bill Maher. If you are not watching ‘Real time with Bill Maher’; you are really missing out. Its similar to John Stewart Daily show, but I think its a lot better, and he’s even funnier. I’ve been watching his show for the past 2 years now, but now I follow his work more closely, because I tend to agree with him on everything;  from religion to politics to marriage. (except maybe some health related issue). I saw him at an Atheist convention, and he was hilarious.

Anyways, towards the end of every episode, Bill Maher does a segment called the NEW RULE, in which he discusses topics that’s important. Last week, his new rule was amazing. He talks about education and how parents needs to play a big part in a kids life. Check it out for yourself.



During the early  part of the episode, Bill Maher was arguing with a conservative talk show host (Amy Holmes) because she didn’t believe in global warming. She said she was skeptical and the evidence didn’t suggest that it  was man made.  ( I know what a cunt, right? ) At some time, Bill Maher had to stop arguing with her because he got emotional, which I’ve never seen him like this before.

Anyways, check out the NEW RULES on you tube. His show is on Fridays at 10PM on HBO.

BBC Life (discovery channel)

imageInstead of  watching “Meet the Cardashians’ or ‘Jersey Shore’ or ‘I  like being retarded’; give some other shows a chance. Try to watch something that actually is interesting, informative and entertaining at the same time. Not just a bunch of bitches arguing about what to buy and what clubs to go to….Maybe some of you now saw the commercial for the upcoming nature documentary LIFE on television. This is the 11 part nature documentary series similar to PLANET EARTH series; which will air on Discovery Channel this month. “The series takes a global view of the specialized strategies and extreme behavior that living things have evolved in order to survive; what Charles Darwin termed "the struggle for existence". Four years in the making, the series has been shot entirely in high definition” (wiki). PLANET EARTH was an amazing show, and if you haven’t seen it, I really just don’t know what to tell you.

LIFE is another extraordinary nature documentary. Even if you don’t like watching nature shows, you will definitely like watching this. I saw LIFE right after BBC broadcast the whole series a few months ago. I saw it on HD which makes the whole experience a whole lot better. Some of the shots and sequences are just pure amazing to watch. 

The BBC version of LIFE has 10 parts. The opening programme gives a general introduction to the series, a second looks at plants and the remainder are dedicated to the major animal groups – Mammals, Fish, Birds, Reptiles, Insects , Primates . They aim to show common features that have contributed to the success of each group, and to document intimate and dramatic moments in the lives of selected species chosen for their charisma or their extraordinary behavior. A ten-minute making of feature Life on Location airs at the end of each episode, taking the total running time to 60 minutes. There are amazing animal behaviors documented in the series. There’s a part in one episode where you see a bunch of Komodo Dragons (reptiles) attacking and eating a buffalo. That’s right, a fucken buffalo.

Even though the American version of LIFE will be narrated by Oprah Winfrey (which btw I think is a joke and an insult to the original series) ; the original series was narrated and co wrote by David Attenborough. I don’t know if you ever heard of David Attenborough. His career as the respected face and voice of natural history programs has endured for more than 50 years. There’s no word describing his voice for natural history shows. The way he narrates the story is just unbelievable. He’s more than 80 years and still continues to voice natural programs.

I have seen plenty of natural history programmes but I gotta say that LIFE is one my favorites along with ‘Planet Earth’ ‘Blue Planet’ and ‘Life of Mammals’. 

Anyways, make sure to check out the LIFE trailer and watch an episode when it airs to see if you like it (which I know you will). It starts on March 21st on discovery  channel at 8 PM (pacific time) or you can rent/buy the dvd.

Song of the Day : Broken Bells

Today’s song of the day goes to an indie band called Broken Bells,  ‘The high road’ I found out about this band by reading their album review on ‘The rolling stone magazine.’ I listened to the whole album and its freaking amazing. The opening song ‘the high road’ is such a beautiful song and I hope you check it out.

‘Hurt Locker’ winning best picture/ director; Nooo

I was very annoyed to see “The Hurt Locker” winning best picture and director. Even though I liked the movie I thought Avatar deserved it more. Avatar surely wasn’t the greatest of movies, but I thought it really revolutionized filmmaking and it was a good movie as well (except the alien lovemaking scene).

I would've rather picked ‘ Up in the Air ’ as the best picture and director, but I knew that would never happen. Its such a wonderful film; funny, sad and so honest, and George Clooney is just a joy to watch. What an amazing actor; I mean that guy has it all; looks, talent, personality (and he’s against marriage as well, which is awesome)

Anyways, back to Hurt Locker. Most of you won’t agree with me, but I think it was a political move to give the best picture / director award to Hurt Locker.  The thing is this kind of stuff almost happens almost every year at the oscars. A few years ago, ‘Crash’ won best picture which was such a big joke. The majority of academy voters consists of actors, which I think it shouldn’t be. They should also include critics and other members that are not actors.

But overall it was a pretty good oscar ceremony although it ran a little long. Steve Martin & Alec Baldwin were funny as hosts, but it seemed like Martin had all the jokes.

Aright, I don’t feel like writing anymore. But stay tune, hopefully in the next few weeks, I’ll have more post up

The oscars are tonight

The oscars are tonight, and I predict that Avatar will most likely take it all. I'll have my thoughts later in the week.

5 Types of Women You should not make your girlfriend

I have been following Sinn's work for quite sometime now. He is considered one of the best dating coaches in the world, and just from reading his blog, I learned a lot of women. This guy is only in his mid 20s, but still he gives valuable life lessons about women and dating. I am going to promote his blog a lot, and I hope you check out his website as well.

So credit to Sinn, here's the article on the 5 types of women you should never make your girlfriend

1. Strippers/Escorts/Porn Stars/Sex Workers- In the real world strippers are considered kinda gross. and it's well known that most of them moonlight as prostitutes if not at at least offer "extras". In the dating community, they are held up as the pinnacle of GAME achievement. I have dated a LOT of strippers, and while there are some that are normal, well adjusted and even cool. The vast majority have A LOT of problems, dramas, and baggage. They also don't have the best ideas about men, relationships, etc... I threw in the others because all of these women work in the sex trade. An industry where money is in some form or another exchanged for her sexuality, they may not all be whores but they're in the same industry. Porn is the funniest example of this because as my buddy Cam always says " The only difference between porn and prostitution, is a camera". I'm a little more of a Feminist than Dre and Snoop, so I'll just end this with my own quote that you SHOULDN'T make a sex worker a housewife. Sex workers tend to be targets or pleaser/wannabes that grew up to become attractive after high school. Queen Bees don't work in the sex trade.


2. The girl who cheated on her BF with you. This one is my personal favorite because sooo many guys I know seem to do it. I understand that if a woman is in a bad relationship or even an average one it's not THAT hard to pick her up, if you know what you're doing. The reason being that instead of having to compete with the 800 guys who are trying to court a hot single girl, you only have to be better than one guy. It's still the least logical, most arrogant way to get into a relationship. It's illogical, because she cheated on the last guy with you! Ergo she is predisposed to cheating on people. Which is not a good characteristic in a girlfriend. Don't cheat on me is pretty much the basement bottom of relationship requests. It's arrogant, because the only reason to even try to date a girl who cheated on her BF with you is because you think you're somehow different, or special and will be able to make it work where that other "loser" didn't. You're not special, neither am I and if a girl demonstrates that she's the type of person who cheats, she's the type of person I don't date. Girls who cheat run the entire spectrum of QBs and WBS there is no real correlating factor.


3. The Social Climber- Social climbers are a little harder to figure out as almost all girls are in a way social climbers. When I talk about social climbers here, I'm basing it on a friend on mine in the Los Angeles area. You can tell social climbers by the name dropping they do, and their obsession with the "NEW" and the "Exclusive." A social climber also tends to have A LOT of orbiters (guy friends). She definitely isn't afraid to use her female friends and even in dire situations herself as "bait" to get older rich men to pay for dinners, invite them to parties etc.. Social Climbers generally will ONLY hang out with a specific group of people. Everyone she ever introduces you to will know every other person she introduced you to. She may talk a lot about her "reputation" and how people know who she is. Social climbers are bad to date because they hold their status in the overall social hierarchy above any relationship and are always looking to "trade up" so to speak. Social Climbers tend to be Queen Bees, Bankers, and Sidekicks. The other kinds of types from QBs and WBs get into the game too late to understand how to climb socially while preserving a spotless sexual reputation. The other girls in these cliques eat them for breakfast.


4. The self proclaimed "Bitch"- Out of the girls on this list I've dated a lot of strippers and a TON of these girls. I actually like this type of girl a lot. Maybe cause I'm a little bitchy myself. There's a lot of good qualities self proclaimed "bitches" have, they tend to be hot, smart, funny, honest, and fun. They also tend to be extremely sarcastic, emotionally distant, cold, rude, demanding, and outright mean. These kinds of girls will talk early on about how they're a "bitch" they may even drop it the first night you meet them. These girls will usually be really hard "testers" or they may bust your balls a lot while being really physically engaging. The problem with dating these girls seriously is that they will not treat you well. Fundamentally these girls are fairly selfish and at the end of the day they will always come first in any relationship they're in. After a recent fairly intense break-up I swore off bitchy girls. These girls tend to be Queen Bees of fairly small social circles. They can;t climb too high socially because of their attitudes. Occasionally a Queen Bees sidekick will be this kind of girl whose job it is to keep everyone "in check" within the clique.

5. The Drama Queen- Drama Queens make EVERYTHING about themselves and their problems. Drama Queens are frequently the girls who start sentences with things like " I hate drama." or " I have mostly guy friends, because girls are too catty." Much like when racist southerners say " I'm not a racist, but" or " I like rap music, but..." you can be sure they're about to say some racist shit... When a girl rattles off one of those gems, you can be sure she loves the drama. I personally don't trust a girl who doesn't have close female friends. Drama Queens are bad because they are addicted for lack of a better word to the constant stimulation. A Drama Queen will also probably exist in a hierarchy like those in QBs and WBs she may be any of the roles, though most likely the Banker.


Anyways, make sure to check Sinns Of Attraction website. Its on the 'Useful websites that EVERY man should know about' section as well.

Dinosaur wiped by crater

There's an interesting article on BBC about the extinction of Dinosaurs. An international panel of experts has strongly endorsed evidence that a space impact was behind the mass extinction event that killed off the dinosaurs.

What actually killed the dinosaur always fascinated me. I took a dinosaur class in college and I remember studying the asteroid hitting the earth theory causing the dinosaur to die out.

Anyways I just it was very interesting article.

Rec 2

A few days ago, I decided to watch a scary horror movie by myself at night, which was such a bad idea coz I had a hard time sleeping. It was Rec 2; sequel to one of the greatest horror movie I've ever seen Rec If you haven't seen Rec, you really should even if you don't like horror movies that much. It is a brilliantly conceived, ridiculously effective horror film that will leave you gasping for air and begging for mercy. The movie tells the story using the camera crew's hand-held camera. It's a device that was used to great effect in Cloverfield and Romero's Diary of the Dead. But Rec did an amazing job because it felt very claustrophobic and scary.

I'm not gonna say too much but you should check it out. By the way, Quarantine was a knockoff from Rec, although Rec did much better interms of acting and action wise.

Ok, back to Rec 2. The story continues right after the first one ended, and we see a group of Swat team go inside the building to know what exactly is going on. Its a simple storyline and we don't get to know the characters much. But there were some moments where I actually jumped out of my seat. What's scary to me is when there's kids who turns into zombies or devils (they don't have a word for it in the movie) and comes running after you. The story is still told from the swat's hand-held camera, just like the first one.

I rank Rec as one of my favorite horror films of all time. But Rec 2 was a bit disappointing but overall entertaining and a good scary movie. If you wanna jump out of your seat, then this is definitely a movie for you. I give Rec 2 a 7 out of 10.

I'm thinking of watching Paranormal Activity in the next few days. I know, I'm like the only person in the world who hasn't seen it, even though I'm a horror fan. I'm just debating if I should watch it by myself or not.


PS - In the next few weeks, I'll have posts on 'men's guide to grooming and fashion'
stay tune

Song of the day: Ercola

I've been listening to this song for a while now. I don't where the DJ is from, but he sure is talented. I hope you enjoy as well

New Blog

So I have been meaning to write a blog for the longest time. I figured once I have my life straighten out, then I would start focusing on it. But then I realized that there is always going to be something that I feel its gonna hold me back.
So I say no more. I'll start of writing 1 or 2 blogs a week..
You will read my opinions on life, women, dating, movie reviews, music, fashion & grooming, religion and everything else. Remember its only my opinion, and if you get offended..well I'm sorry...
I'm not the best of writers so you might see some grammatical errors here and there.
