Hi kevin, and jack.:wave:

Major in what interests you and suits your abilities. I majored in business to be practical, and it didn't work out well for me since I don't enjoy sales or bean counting. Major in whatever fits you best, maybe a trade school since you don't seem to like academia.

I watched Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas again today, and am looking for more movies like this. Movies with people wearing sunglasses, speaking lingo, in pool halls, diners, films that resemble a Tom Waits song or Hunter S. Thompson novel.

What optical company, online or national, could I do this without paying extra for trying several frames chosen from their inventory? I know of a place in the big city that let me do this without charge, but I no longer live there.

I wore contact lenses for many years, and finally gave up on them after trying everything. They literally do glue onto my eyes, and an optician recommended that I avoid them due to the damage caused to my eyes. Plus I don't like ending the day with a hassle which removal of contacts is for me. I...

I used to wear contacts when I was your age, but they'd make my eyes bloodshot so everyone thought I was on dope, and I had to scrape them off my eyes every night. Nothing cool about that.

The rule of thumb is no more than 1/3 of your monthly income to housing expenses. Where do you pay under $200 a month?

Neither Ayn Rand nor Howard Roark would fit in the corporate world. The fraternity boy Peter Keating would do fine because he's all about having the right credentials and mixing in the right social circles.

I bought my last eyeglasses at WalMart, and they're okay but I'm looking for something better image-wise for eyeglasses. I'll probably get some RayBans with lenses that shade while outside, and I'm also interested in 70s style aviator glasses with some tint on the lenses. Any other suggestions...

According to the Fed official in the video, the gold went to the Treasury. I'd rather have it there than a quasi-governmental entity operated by private bankers. But does the Treasury still have it?

Distinguish between a strictly gold monetary system and a gold standard based on fiat money being tied to gold at a ratio adjusted by the government. The problem isn't that we use paper money, or electronic balances for that matter, rather that it's no longer tied to gold.

Usually when there's mistakes at work, I keep my mouth shut and let my boss and coworkers continue making them without wise comments from me. I would just get in trouble if I brought the mistakes to their attention.

The best places to see attractive women naked for free is informal nudist areas such as nude beaches. A lot of women who don't join formal nudist organizations do go to nude beaches or hot springs on warm summer days. Some of them are even looking to hook up. Of course, you still have to use...

Hmm. Sam Bowie versus Michael Jordan.

College students should consider living with their parents for at least the first two years and attending the local community college.

At 33, I was still getting carded, my young co-workers thought I was in my mid-20s, and when I told people I went to such and such music concert in 1983, they'd be scratching their head, doing calculations, puzzled that I was possibly old enough to see a music concert back in the early 80s...

My last target was a combination of "disappointed dreamer" and "novice". It went bad when I didn't follow Greene's advice: "If you give them a part of what they want, they will imagine the rest. At all cost, do not let reality break the illusion you are creating. One moment of pettiness and...

In the book Art of Seduction, Greene refers to Jagger as a dandy, like Rudolph Valentino or Casanova, dressing well and being androgynous.

That's cool but the OP is thinking of quitting video gaming to please his lady. He should play all the dam video games he wants until he really finds another hobby that he can have fun doing, rather than trying to achieve some stereotype James Bond DJ image.

Isn't changing your hobbies to keep your woman happy .. AFC?
