Its Not Looking Good So Far (and other random thoughts)
-First of all, just as an update, "Good Looking Mark", aka the random picture below, is not faring as well as we hoped on www.hotornot.com, I checked last night, and after 38 votes, he is checking in at a cool 6.5. Not what I expected. This means my maximum potential is 6.5, not the 7.5 that original projections had me. Could it be higher sans soul patch? I might have to do a little photoshop job on that picture in order to find out.... Stay tuned
-Cubs tickets went on sale this morning, and I found myself wearing out the reload button on my browser trying to get tickets to the Memorial Day weekend series against my beloved Atlanta Braves...only to realize that I'll be out of town for a wedding that weekend. Someone up there hates me. Oh well, my consolation prize is free booze and a drastically increased chance of getting laid (not to mention, I've seen the bride naked before)
-I made the possible mistake of sending a link to this blog to a certain someone who is referenced more than once in the postings below. She heard "things" about my blog, and wanted to see for herself, and, not being one to turn down readers, I obliged. After I thought about it, I didn't write anything that I wouldn't honestly tell her to her face, and after carefully rereading everything, I ultimately decided two things: 1. there wasn't anything derogatory about her, and 2. most of that rant was actually inspired by my unholy, evil whench of an ex-girlfriend (story for another time). Steve summed it best when I told him about this, "and heeeere we go..."
-Napster pissed me off. I know there is a logical explanation as to why certain bands are not found in Napsters music library AT ALL. This is absolutely killing me! If someone knows how I can get bands like Radiohead and The Arcade Fire onto my Napster-formatted Dell DJ, please please PLEASE email me!!
-Just in the time it took me to write this, the Cubs sold out every Saturday bleacher seat for the rest of the season. Am I missing something here? These are the same underachieving Cubs from last year, that made no significant improvement over the winter. All I want to do is go to a Saturday game, get shitfaced and root for the opposition! Is that too much to ask!??!
I'm a hater.

6.5 beats a 2.8 any day of the week.
Mark,
I think you're losing focus. Is the goal to be a 7.5 on hot or not, or is the goal to make yourself more attractive to women you meet? Because its tough to correlate the outcome of one with the other.
You could be a 10 on hot or not and come across as an obnoxious fool and you won't get any from the ladies.
I think the point is you have a lot of room to improve upon yourself.
Maybe you should actually try and focus on creating a change in your own physical appearance instead of trying to morph a photo of a perfect stranger. --Jeff
one more thing mark,
Who gave you the estimate of 7.5? The poll I took had you at 7.125.
6.5 to 7.125 is a reasonable gap considering the people marking you're hot or not could represent a smaller or larger diversification sample than who I polled (swedish, german, irish, italian and african american). --Jeff
Stop worrying about what other people think of you. If you're always concerned about what everyone else thinks, how are you supposed to be happy and enjoy life?
One womans trash is another womans treasure. You are going to be somebody's treasure some day. Fuck em if not every single woman thinks you're attractive.

Your friend just called you "One womans trash." LOL
"The Coat Bandit"
p.s. What's going on tonight?
Just a bit of a response from the lady who inspired Mark’s recent entry, Girls are not interested in Mark. Of the many broad generalizations made, one immediately stands out, “Bottom line is that most women want guys who are assholes.” Although I cannot speak for every woman out there, I can speak for myself and I surely do not look for someone like that. There is something wildly attractive about a man that believes in himself, his dreams and reflects a state of total confidence. I suppose one could misinterpret this strong sense of self with someone who is actually incredibly insecure, an “asshole.” However, it is not something that we long for or what wins our hearts in the end. So if you propose that the solution to your recent woe is to become a person who is unkind, inconsiderate or lacking compassion. I strongly encourage you to re-think that decision.
In regards to what became between you and I, it was not me being promiscuous, (I am not) you being too nice, (no such thing) or you as the seemingly perfect stepping stone to finding that “asshole” that I have been lusting over (not what I am after). It was simply my heart telling me that you are not right for me. Hate it, hate me, hate all women if you wish. That is all it was. I see now that it would have saved a lot of drama had I realized this the first night. But let us remember that we were in the midst of a pub crawl, a situation where I unfortunately begin to think and make decisions from places other than my heart. I can be impulsive and sometimes act before I think and am sorry you were caught in the middle of it that weekend.
Hopefully this does not anger you. To me, attraction, romantic connection, love is something that is beyond any of our control, a force that cannot be turned on or off as we wish. So the fact that I did not want to pursue anything with you, was simply that, I did not feel such a connection. I see now that you felt much differently, but being dishonest with you or dishonoring my thoughts would not have been fair for you or me.
In regards to your shortcomings, instead of looking to others to create this list. Perhaps you should spend some time delving deeper into yourself to see where you believe you fall short and begin to change these things. The opinion that others hold of you is minute in comparison to the one you hold of yourself. Not until you fully trust and believe in yourself, will you attract the person that absolutely loves you for you, shortcomings included. I am quite certain that your relationship with her will not begin as ours did. I share the similar belief that a positive relationship does not get physical that fast. Although we did not get as physical as one may have thought after reading your entry, it was still much too fast. I trust that someone who truly liked and respected me would have seen the tipsy state I was in, and ended the night but given me a call first thing the next morning so we could meet for breakfast and really begin to learn about eachother. I believe that to be a phenomenally better start to a relationship and much more sexy then a drunken make-out.
Finally, please know that I am not at all bitter about this situation nor do I regret anything that happened between you and I. Thank you for seeing me as someone you might like to be in a relationship with and I am sorry that we saw this differently. Also, I don’t believe you to be a dark psychopath and so long as you are willing, would like to still be your friend.

just say what you are thinking, Mark is a 2.8
So basically you're saying the only way Mark could get a girl in the sack is to make sure she's drunk?
You're a horrible person. Go drown or something.
People still use Napster?
