Feminine Powers

I'd really like to learn the negotiation tactics of the human female. I mean, no matter the subject, a woman can and will win any argument 90% of the time. I'm sure many of you guys out there know what I'm talking about specifically when arguing with a girlfriend, wife or what have you. Even when it looks like there's no way for you to be wrong, those femme fatales will find a way. When I complain about something to my object of affection, (which is something I do rarely) she manages to turn the tables and make whatever I'm talking about my fault. She than gives me the silent treatment for making her mad! Making her mad?! When it's something I should be mad at her for! Insane! I know any ladies reading this will probably take her side but if you knew all the facts you might say otherwise. Unfortunately, I'm not at liberty to discuss it. Nonetheless, this has infuriated me and since then we haven't spoken. We're definitely on the rocks. In reality, both parties want to talk. My sweetheart and I are just too hard-headed to pick up the phone and start dialing. I'll keep you updated on who cracks first. As of tonight it will be a full 48 hours. Tensions are growing. Wish me luck!
I am, like some of you, a former asianavenue user. Like some of you, I sought something with a little more class ever since AA got popular and went " mainstream". I got tired of all the same old meet and greets from the usual suspects of AA. On top of that, I was shunned from that community because they believed I was never proud of my asianhood. The F.A.A.(F.O.B.s of America Association :)) viewed me as an outcast.I truely represented the asian-american. I was too asian for the white crowds here in Portland, while i was too americanized for the asian crowd. What a lonely world I live in. Finally, I found sanctuary. A place where my thoughts were not judged by biased peoples simply because I wasn't "asian' enough. I found the blog world. I know some of you may laugh at me simply cause I've only recently discovered blog, but I'm just not the avid net surfer that you are. I was introduced to blog by my disturbingly hilarious kin Tom. He insisted i stay away from the mainstream crowd. I owe him big time. Take a look at his Path to Enlightenment at malaise.blogspot.com
