Scenario 1: Tom meets Jane. She's pretty and seems interesting to talk to. Tom and Jane start haging out and talking more and more. Tom develops an attraction to Jane, and one day tries to kiss her. Jane tell Tom she doesn't think of him that way and she wants to remain friends. The next few weeks contact between the two falls off. Jane starts fucking an outlaw biker.Ladder Theory Explanation: Tom met Jane. Tom was immediately placed on the friends ladder. Tom didn't know this. Tom tried to jump ladders. Jane kicked Tom in the head rather than let him on and sent him hurtling to the Abyss below. The oulaw biker was not on her friends ladder (they never are) but rather on her good ladder.
Scenario 2: Tom meets Jane. She's cute and seems smart. After an appropriate amount of time he asks her out on a date. She acccepts and they have what seems to be a perfectly nice date. Tom thinks he has a chance with Jane. He asks her out again. She says no, either explicitly or by never returning his phone call. Tom has no idea what the Hell just happened. Jane starts fucking an unemployed alcoholic.Ladder Theory Explanation: Jane misrepresented which ladder Tom was on. He thought he was on the good ladder because of her acceptance of the date. Mistake. This led to an unintentional ladder jump. He was kicked into the Abyss. In this situation, Jane often wants to stay friends becasue you are so interesting and funny or some shit like that. If this happens you are most likely an Intellectual Whore. I'm sorry. This is most likely to be a ninja-bitch.
Scenario 3: A girl says any of the following to you:
"You're like a brother to me"
"You're like a big teddy bear"
"I feel like I can talk to you about anything"
"You're so nice"
"Can you help me with my homework" Ladder Theory Explanation: You are on the friends ladder. So Sorry.
You can see that a lot of problems can be avoided(though sadly not problem two) by declaring as soon as possible to a girl that you will not be friends under any circumstances. You can explain that she is too attractive or you can be blunt and say you don't want to bend your "friends" over a table and fuck them, but would rather play poker and go to the races with them, thus disqualifying her from friendship. As long as you are clear. This may scare a girl away. But if it does what would you want with such a skittish little twit anyway?

Today is becoming one of those that I just want to flex every muscle in my body and scream as loudly as I can. Absolutely nothing is rolling my way. Everything that I count on has left. Everyone expects me to follow their schedule, and has no conception of what I may want or need. fuckthat.
Enough of this depressing crap. I would like a Al Merrick Flyer (6'2'', 3'') and Rip Curl Dose boardshorts. I know it may seem I'm really into brands, but they are these are absolutely the best. And, not to mention, I'm in need of a new board and trunks (a smaller rash guard too).
When I can't surf I start thinking about things I shouldn't think about. Like girls mostly. Well mostly my extreme lack of prospects and my dry-streak that makes the Sahara seem damp. Yeah I need to surf.
I know everyone loves rain, well most everyone. And so do I. However, I know people will start complaining any day now. They'll start saying shit like, "Jesus, where's global warming now." (Note: these are the same people who complain when we have those perfect days in the summer because their rolls of fat start to sweat).
The downside of rain is that I can't surf. If I surf I'll get really sick. Really, really sick. A year of crap has been sitting on the surface since the last rain. So this first rain is really dangerous because of all the bacterial build up. But I'm going tomorrow anyway.

People do some weird things, really fucking weird. I can't figure them out. Humans continually hold 2 contradictory ideas. TONS of them. Insane stuff, really. Fragments are great. I'm trying to avoid rating people in terms of my birthday, but its hard to avoid.
Hoopla.
