10 things men think after having sex.

I was listening to the Russ Parr show on Tuesday and they had a discussion on what men think after sex. I was lmao almost everytime they mentioned something because I could relate so much. They had a couple of things they said which I don't remember all

1) Can she go home now? (lol. What if the guy is at her place rather than his own place?)
2) Hmm, Did I satisfy her? Did she come?
3) I wonder if she came.
4) Was I her best?
5) Dammit, I hope I didn't come too quickly.
6) Hmm, did she fake that orgasm? I wonder....
7) Fuck it, I came too qucikly. I wonder what the hell she is thinking.
8) Dammit, why the hell couldn't she move? She just stood there like a log of wood. (Duhh, maybe she just wasn't enjoying it!)
9) Dammit! She had her teeth all over my penis; everything else but teeth, girl! Damn!!
10) More?? Girl, got to sleep! I am tired! I don't know what more she's talking about. More ko, More ni!!!

:) Ok. I added some of the thoughts on the list, but most were from the show.

Looking at the list of thoughts, I couldn't help but think to myself how we guys are so ego-driven. Some of the thoughts seem to make it look like we care (Did I satisfy her), but considering some of the rest of the questions that, it makes me think even the seeminlgy selfless thoughts are based on our ego being massaged. Or let me say they are based on the fact that we don't want our rep to be messed up, not necessarily bcos oooh we care so much about making sure she came and was satisifed. It's bcos we don't want to look like punks that do not know what the hell they are doing.

This is not always the case, but many times, it's just amazing how we guys care so much about our rep. Oooohhh, we don't want her to go tell her friends we suck. Or ooohhhh, I got to be the man! All these rather than making sure she has a great time too and more importantly, she gets one thing that comes as an ANYTIME-GUARANTEE for we guys - orgasm.

The next day on Russ Parr show was what women think after having sex. I missed that and I was so mad. I just wonder what they think. If any lady is reading this let me know... ;) And guys, the list could be much longer, so you can add more to the list.

I knew it had to be Quentin.

I was right. I just knew it had to be Quentin. All that clip of him lying on the bed slashed was just a way for the show's producers to attempt to confuse us. It was an easy guess but if they had made the Carver's identity that of anyone else, it would have made no sense. I kind of figured Kit had to have a part in it too.

Now, that this is all over, I wonder what they have up their sleeves for next season.

Who is the Carver?

I haven't really followed Nip/Tuck this season unlike the first 2 seasons in which I was passionately addicted to the show. The Carver showed up last season and he/she (whichever one, though I believe, actually, know, that it's a guy) has been on a rampage this season. Tonight is the night that the carver's identity is supposed to be revealed.

My only choice if I am to guess who the carver is is Quentin, but that will be too easy. People have all sorts of guesses. Eva, Kit, Julia, Matt among others. I don't think it will be any of these people, especially now that everyone already has them as guesses. Based on the show's producers claim that no one can guess who the carver is, I know it will not be Quentin or any of the seemingly obvious characters.

I have seen people guess Christian or Sean as the Carver. That, to me is not possible or let me say, absolutely ridiculous. Christian could not have fucked himself (I mean, duh!) and Sean could not have slashed his own self (maybe he could but naa). Making the carver one of the 2 main characters will make the identity a shocker but at the same time, it will make it senseless.

However, if they make it any of the other hardly-featured or never-featured character, I think it will take away from the surprise effects that the identity should have on the show's audience, but it will make more sense.

One thing I know for sure is this:

The Carver is a guy (he fucked Christian. Eva could not haved fucked him; she already did a sex change, so she lost her dick. oh sorry, I meant his dick or whichever one) and has to be quite a strong person, overpowering Christian, Sean, etc. I have to admit that the facial size and feature makes it look like a female.

You know what? I give up. They can't fool me. Regardless of the clip of Quentin's face slashed and tied to the bed, it can only be Quentin. He's bi (the Carver fucked Christian and we know that Quentin was attracted to Sean and Christian at different times of the show this season) and the carver's voice pattern is very similar to that of Quentin (in fact, it's pretty much the same).

Anywayz, tonight is the night of truth - we'll see.

Google just won't stop...

According to news sources, Google is on the verge of buying a 5% stake ($1 Billion) at AOL. These Google guys are amazingly smart to me. This will be an opportunity for them to tap into AOL's broad set of infrastructure - email, instant messaging among others - and customer base. I believe it will definitely help the bottomline of both sides and possibly help AOL reclaim its declining revenues.

Getting to know you - NyjaGuy!

I was tagged by one and only Nneka on Blogspot :)

Here are the instructions as initiated by dqueenb:
Hopefully we’ll get to know each other this way…there are a ton of Nigerian folks on Blogspot and I think we should get to know each other, I saw this on Xanga and I think its cool so here is how it works. The Rules 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "5 weird habits of yourself" and people who get tagged need to write a blogspot entry about their 5 weird habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 5 people to be tagged and list their blogspot IDs. Can you dig it?

I didn't know how much I didn't know about myself till I had to think about this. It took me 2 weeks to come up with my answers. Damn! Lol. That's really fucked up!
1. I think about sex and money all the time and I mean all the time... Hmmm...I don't know. Is that really a weird habit?
2. I belch 24/7 or let me say this I can burp anytime that I want to. I know. Gross!! Actually, that's what I use to break ice with kids. Lol. It works all the time.
3. I have this habit of milking out any topic that is brought up by friends till the topic is worn out.
4. I say the same thing over and over again when having conversations and I am trying to stress what I am talking about. I mean over and over and over again - like fucking resounding cymbals. I always have to catch myself.
5. Everytime I go shopping, I come back home, lay out everything I bought, recalculate and always end up returning at least one of the items. You would think that infers that I am a good saver. Hell naa!
5 habits were asked for but I will give one more:
6. Even after having the kind of wild and wow sex that makes you unable to even lift your finger, I still have the urge to call Palmela after few hrs. I don't necessarily do though. ;)
Ok. Maybe the 6th one was just for fun. Lol!

I am tagging the following people:
On a lighter mode...
silent storms in an ocean of one
The Rantings of Ayesha
BoggyWoggy
Nigerian on the edge

Apple just got One!

It's been years since I got into the computer thing, but I have never been an apple. I have always seen anything Apple as too expensive and was just not needed especially based on the fact that it has less audience due to its proprietary nature. With the new iMac G5, my story has changed. I will be getting my own Apple toys in the days to come for sure. The iMac's unmatchable portability and its entertainment enthrall me. Check these out:

- Snap pictures with Photo Booth and the built-in iSight camera
- Click, roll, squeeze and scroll with the included Mighty Mouse
- Hold a video chat with the built-in iSight camera
- Get the big picture with a widescreen flat-panel display
- Play fast with PCI-E ATI Radeon X600 Pro or XT graphics
- Burn DVDs or CDs with the 8x SuperDrive
- Banish clutter with built-in AirPort Extreme wireless networking
- Go cable-free with Bluetooth for a wireless keyboard and mouse
- Capture video from DV camcorders or add external hard drives via two FireWire 400 ports
- Connect printers and peripherals with three USB 2.0 ports
- Mirror video to your TV, display or projector with mini-VGA(2)
- Connect to a Windows network
- Organize and share music, movies and photos with iLife

This system takes up the space of a monitor, which has always been the case, but this time around, it contains a powerful 1.9 or 1.2 GHz G5 processor, an incredible PCI Express ATI Radeon X600 Pro or XT graphics processor with 128MB DEDICATED video memory, an 8X DVD/CD Burner, built-in AirPort Extreme Card for wireless networking (or you can add an AirPort Express with AirTunes to stream music to your stereo and send documents to your printer), internal Bluetooth 2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) for the wireless device, a built-in iSight camera (no need for the camera wires and crap) among other devices and features. All these in the usual monitor-space iMac and combined with the best and easiest-to-use PC Operating System for now, Mac OS X 10.4? Wow!

These are features I have always dreamt of having in a home media entertainment setup especially with Apple Remote that lets you gather families and browse through videos, audios, pics and any other digital media after connecting the system to other digital devices such as a stereo, a plasma TV with a DVI connector (or HDMI with an adapter) among others. It is also available in 2 different monitor sizes making it even more attractive to me. It has its shortcomings (lack of ability to record live TV nad function as a DVR among others), but with all the other features, its sleekness and its price, it meets almost all the demands I have thought of in a home media center system.

The system is a BEAST not only in sheep clothing but with a sheep size. Apple, you rock and you just got one new customer, Steve Jobs. I can't wait to get one and also the new video-capable iPod too!

Ten Reasons To Drink During The Holidays

Just read this on a co-worker's blog and I thought it was humorously real. It's based on an article on forbes.com - 10 reasons to drink during the holidays.

1. You can tolerate your in-laws. >> I am not married but I think this is very true from what I've seen in the lives of the couples that I know. In-laws can be a pain in the crux of the ass.
2. Beer goggles - Who said the holidays have to be lonely? >> Hmmm....don't really get this one.
3. Why eat your calories when you can drink them? >> True that! It sounds much easier to drink them than eat them to me.
4. You give the best gift ... alcohol. >> Hmmh...whatever that means.
5. New Year's resolutions actually seem attainable when you're drunk. >> Hell yeah!
6. You love everyone...and everyone loves you. >> This is so true. You know you're drunk once you start hugging everybody, asking everyone for group hugs, shaking everyone and shit like that. This happenned to me last Friday at a friend's surprise birthday party.
7. Be the funny guy at the party. >> Indubitably true. Same thing last Friday and many other times for me. I don't know where the sense of humor comes from. Hmmh.. maybe it's not your sense of humor per say, it's the fact that you are drunk, acting crazy and talking shit. Maybe!
8. Drinking in winter means staying warm ... or at least you are feeling warm. >> Lol! The illusion of alcohol. Alcohol is a bitch men. That stuff will make you feel and see things that you can't feel or see when you are alcohol-free. Damn!
9. You bring the spirit to the occasion...literally, vodka, tequila and rum >> This is unarguably true. The drunk ones add life to the party. Last Friday was an example for me: I added life to the party and brought folks on the dance floor.
10. The holidays go by much quicker... just a vague memory. >> Lol! Can't be more true!

My favorites are the last 6. They are all very true cos I have had first-hand experience. That shit called alcohol is something else. It will make you do things and see things that are unusual for you. Makes me reminisce. Lol!

Creativity and sexual success go together

According to an article I read on Yahoo, guess what Pablo Picasso, Lord Byron and Dylan Thomas had more in common than their simple creativity. Active sex lives!

A research discovered that the creativity of humans can be linked to their sexual success. They used people in the creative arts field as their case studies. They found that professional artists and poets had between 4 and 10 sexual partners, while less creative people had an average of three. That's an interesting one. These days the average seems more like tens of partners for most people. Hmmphh. Let's see….. how many have I had…… Just kidding. Not that many, for sure.

The study also showed that the average number of sexual partners increased as creative output went up. What the artists produce draws attention to them, which seems to enhance their sexual allure.

I am not too surprised by these study results because I have to say that that act or thing (whatever) called sex, when it's well done, does something to you that cannot be put in clear words (most especially when in done in the right context. I will leave that for another day). It makes you feel very light, elated and free. Of course, such combo of feelings could stir up creativity in a person.

But, the article stated one fact that is so true and disheartening – "The active sex lives of artists is often tolerated, even by long-term partners who are less likely to expect loyalty and fidelity from them." This is a terrible fact but it's true. "Marry a star, forget loyalty and fidelity." It just doesn't happen.

Anyway, I am guessing the creativities of these artists were also applied even when they were having sex, doing things that the non-creative minds cannot fathom. I have been thinking of how I can increase my creative art skills – painting, photography, calligraphy, etc. I guess, now I know!

Here is the article:

Why Guys Think About Sex All The Time

I have always heard people, especially women, say, why do men think about all the time. However, regardless of the truthfulness of this, I have always refuted this question. But for real, I must say this, "That claim can't be truer for most guys." There is no hour (what am I saying, more like minute) that passes that I do not think of sex and I know for a lot of my friends (guys) that I know, that is also the case. Many of them might deny it, but like someone said, even if you wear a $20000 dress for a pig, a pig is still a pig; the truth is still the truth even when many of us, as guys, deny this. I have always wondered why this is the case.

Don't get me wrong, I am sure women think about sex too, but I think it's more common for women to think about when they just had a great one or when they haven't had some in a while and they are fucking dying of "hornyness." For we guys, whether we just had a great one or we haven't had some in a while, or we just had a very horrible one (which hardly ever happens cos what the hell, we always come anywayz), guess what, we are thinking about it. WHY??? I just wonder. I think this is one of the reasons why, unlike women, infidelity is immeasurably prevalent among guys. Women do it, but we all know that we guys (not all for sure) just don't know how to stay monogamous. It's just really saddening, but it's the truth. How can we be when sex is all we think about? WTF! Hey… just thinking!

However, I heard a doctor talk about his reason for this quirkiness in us. He had a study of the brain of a woman and a man. The study involved using some kind of light to illuminate the activity in the brains of both sexes. He found out that there was much more illumination in the brain of woman indicating more activity. In the brain of a man, there was barely any activity, making the brain of guy less exciting. :) His conclusion: Men have to think of sex in order to add some excitement (since we all know sex is very exciting) to their lives and consequently have their brains develop more activity. Lol. Though I don't necessarily agree that there is less activity in the brain of a man, I must say that these so-called study findings might make sense, cos there has to be a reason for this craze in we guys. Like Olu Jacobs used to say in Third Eye (a crime-solving series in Nigeria in the 90s), I JUST WONDER!!!
