is it me or are leading celeb males getting shorter as the generations go by?

is what is considered "hot" being altered by the mass media somehow?

i don't mind... it's better than having 6'4 being the ONLY standard for what can be considered hot.

but, i can't help but notice the change.

this thought crossed my mind when i saw a blogger mention that pete wentz is hot.

he's supposedly 5'6. that's pretty short.

and look at some of the top leading males celebs today.

kanye west - 5'7.

T.I. - 5'8.

hmm.. maybe musicians are just shorter on average. and, actors are taller?

i don't know how or why this started. either way, 5'6s can now be hot.

and, it's a good thing.

***
could there be an ulterior motive for allowing shorties to be marketed as acceptably hot?

i have a conspiracy theory about this. the united states is slowly losing it's financial lead to the rest of the world. countries like china and india will catch up by sheer numbers. economies of scale will rule in the future. so what does the US need? it needs a population increase.

the average height in the US is 5'9. but if the standard for hotness is 6'4, then women will not be easily attracted to what is average. but, let's bring down the height for which hotness can be achieved. if a 5'6 guy can be considered hot, then all of a sudden there is a huge number of available, partners in the 5'6-5'10 range that become socially acceptable. more marriages and sex will occur. leading to population increase.

where'd they go?

john wayne - 6'4.

clint eastwood - 6'3

sean connery - 6'2.

elvis - 6'1.

Do you think leading celebrity males have been getting shorter lately?

How to be featured on the Xanga front page?

• Write about something interesting to everybody, not just to your friends and subscribers.
• Don't be afraid to be controversial, but keep the profanity to a minimum.
• Turn off Your Signin Lock or Friends Lock so that everybody can read your post.
• Nominate a good post by submitting it here. Feel free to submit your own posts!

hey, i just realized it might be good idea to make it a habit to submit really good posts written by your homie bloggers. this way, your friends can have more fun xanga'ing. and, we can see our favorite bloggers on the front page instead of strangers. those strangers prolly have a system going where they submit eachother's shit so that they get featured often. i see the same people getting featured at times. can't be luck, they are submitting religiously.

i dunno if it's because i'm sick, but i've slowed down enough to observe myself and my interaction with people. i've added a few new things to my social skills. stuff i learned today at work.

1. don't force my voice out, just a little bit is actually enough. people can hear me good enough. and, this way, the voice sounds more pleasing to the ears.

2. don't ignore people & their presence. respect their presence with attention to them.

3. don't ignore people's words, respect their turn when they are talking.

4. don't ignore subtle hints. listen to them and respond if possible.

5. don't think loudly. when i think loudly in my mind, it actually shows in my face and people can read me like a book. think softly.

6. don't make a big deal out of people's shortcoming or negative energy. be accepting of them. the more you focus on them and hate them, the more annoyed you get, the more you are effected negatively. turn up the chillness, just relax and be normal.

7. don't overemphasize alpha. it is a sign of weakness. keep alpha energy at medium. it's plenty to keep yourself protected. turning alpha to the top only creates unnecessary abrasions that will just backfire in the end. over-alpha is a sign of fear.

8. don't ignore common sense, your gut feelings.

9. when results are showing negative, stop the behavior. to continue negative behavior that is showing negative results is a sign of stubbornness, inflexibility and dumb-ass-ness.

10. don't always try to be the center of attention. you get enough attention.

ps1: i got 1 ?arget credit card application and 1 survey. sign of my progress.
and, my manager was really being nice to me today and i was able to respond pretty well too. progress all around.

ps2: one bad thing tho, they are only giving me 9 hours a week. LOL dude, bad economy i can understand but that is kinda overboard. i think since i never complain about low hours they are assuming it's ok and they are throwing the hours to people who really need them. i don't mind tho, i'm sick and actually these low hours are coming at the right time. i just need to figure out how to make an extra $100 this month outside of ?arget.

ps3: that's my goal for this month, make an extra $100 doing anything. i've been visiting liquidation.com to see if i can buy someting cheap there and sell it at venice beach or a swap meet. i've also contemplated borrowing 50K off my credit card at 0.00% APR for 12 months. and, just leave it in my trading account for a no-brainer play. but, i already promised myself never to trade again unless it is with my own hard earned money and not loans. so, i will stick to that.

xbox: don't ignore the truth. the more you ignore it, the worse your decision and choice making skills will be. if you stare truth in the face and learn from it, you will come up with a reasonable reaction and option that is much better than just hiding from it.

There's been a lot of good posts lately about the friend zone and how to get out of it.
Got me curious and wanted to further my knowledge so I checked youtube.

i liked the first one the most. it made the most sense to me. basically, it says not to be afraid and not be too safe. show that you are interested in a sexual way and give them signs of this. BUT, if they do not react positively to it, then, just give up and move on. reasonable and simple. this gives you enough motivation to show that you are interested but not so persistent that you get CREEP ZONED. the abyss as some call it. "HOW NOT TO GET CREEP ZONED" might be a very helpful topic to blog about. instead of just bashing creeps it might be smart to  educate people who's status is at an even lower level than the friend zone. you never know, just a few key advice and a creep might actually be converted into friend level and eventually even  boyfriend material.

i think people get friend zoned for all kinds of reasons.

1. not attractive enough physically.
2. played it too safe, and did not create enough sexual chemistry.
3. actually got sent sexual signals but ignored or rejected it and put into friend zone out of spite.
4. feminine in quality.
5. too stupid or boring.

also, i think there is such a thing as a REVERSE FRIEND ZONE. i think men will put women in such a category too for similar reasons.

and, i think a person's libido level plays a huge role. if their libido is high, they will want sex more. they will be giving out a very sexual vibe naturally and be sexually aware. they will put in all that extra effort to get sex and they will be in a physical and mental state that is attractive. they will know what they want, and not ignore or reject sexual advances that come their way. they will have sex as their objective and not lose sight of it despite any hurdles that may appear. they will be exuding a sexual vibe that is contagious and irresistable.

the ultimate pimp who rarely gets friend zoned would have:

1. good looks.
2. high libido
3. anti-friend-zone knowledge
4. high testosterone and behavior that reflects this.
5. intelligent & fun.

i just realized why spooning is called spooning. i never understood
this term. what did a spoon have to do with that position? the imagery
didn't fit. for whatever reason i started thinking about how the word
"spoon" or "spooning" oddly being used in several blogs on xanga
lately (more than 3 separate users). then it happened. i imagined more
than ONE spoon. the image lead directly into my kitchen's utensil
drawer. when spoons are placed in storage, they fit perfectly. just like when TWO people spoon. so it took more than ONE spoon to understand this
imagery. damn. 10 year old mystery solved today. what a great day. altho i didn't register or even vote - yes we did.

the sonic care toothbrush is bad-ass and all, but it is DAMN heavy.
lifting that thing up 3 times a day gets taxing.
i decided a new method.
after breakfast/lunch brushes with a regular, light, conventional toothbrush.
after dinner, sonic care.
yes we did.

when my cold is gone. this is how i will conduct my health lifestyle.

1. no more drinking contests (NEVER AGAIN, NEVER)
   this is what triggered this recent cold.
2. 1-1-1-1 portion control.  (1 cup per meal)
3. minimum supplements (cycle aggressively)
4. alcohol, 3 times a week only, shot max. (for relaxation) preferably only red wine.
5. don't let out an abrasive aura, people will just retaliate and drain your energy.
6.  eat, drink warm meals & drinks.
7. gym 7 days a week. 
8. run 5 days a week.
9. eat vegetables & fruits daily.
10. excellent hygiene and all other common sense health strategies.

goal: 155 pounds. men's health physique, better or equal to mario lopez.
