Dinner and a movie is so overdone.  Take her to an amusement park.  Mini golf, go carting, arcade tye stuff.  It's kinda hard to answer not knowing what area you live in though.  Go try something neither of you have done before.  I remember going bowling as a first date once.  Neither of us had ever tried bowling, we had a blast!

Go to a pub and play some pool, ir just go to a pool hall.  I like the pub idea because it's always nice to have a couple drinks if you want. If it isn't working it's easy to cut the night short as well.

Cook a meal together and watch a movie or some stand up comedy. Go to a casino or a horse track.  Horse racing can be fun to watch, bet together on a couple races.

Sometimes keeping it simple is the best bet. Don't try to plan it too much as it wont likely meet expectations.

If it's nice out I'll take a trip to the beach and walk the beach/pier.  It's called White Rock beach in BC Canada.  I've been going there since I was a kid and it always seems to have a positive influence in the mood department.

Sometimes I'll just go play with the dog in the back yard. Nothing like a game of fetch or running after him like an idiot to make myself feel better, LOL!

Other times I'll just cook a good meal, one that takes time.  Then there is always the Chive or 9gag.

Watching Stand Up Comedy is also great.  Guys like George Carlin, Jim Jefferies, Craig Ferguson always make me laugh.

Also, a day at the gun range.  Firing off a few hundred rounds always puts a smile on my face.

35 hours and counting now.  I think it's time that we sacrifice a user to the bitcoin gods. Maybe the user that brought up the lucky streak would be a good start.

 

I agree.  I have a few people on my friends list that have hundreds, and some, thousands of "friends" on their lists. I always think of this comic when I see them act on facebook like they are all real friends.



You see it all the time in pubs and restaurants.  Groups of young people at tables saying hardly anything to the group but they are on their phones (I'm assuming facebook) the entire time.  I'm even noticing that a lot of younger people have very few social skills when it comes to human interaction.

It's only going to get worse as more aspects of social media are introduced.  The Zombie apocalypse is coming, it's just in a different form than what we thought.

Recently got back from the Godzilla movie. I've never really been a big fan of these types of movies, but it was pretty decent.  It's a long move (2 hours) so it is a little slow as they definitely take time to build the story instead of just having monsters fight.  The DBOX theatre seats are pretty cool as well, definitely gets you more into the movie as you feel the action happen.

I was expecting a lot more of the monsters fighting, but the story build up was decent, little drawn out though. It's definitely a movie that's worth going to see. The 3D in it was pretty weak though. Didn't do much to enhance the movie.

We never will know the truth, but this plane just didn't crash, there is a huge cover up going on.  The plane going missing the way it did never made sense to me and I figure there was something fishy almost from day 1.  With the technology we have today, there is no way a plane disappears without a trace.

This does create an interesting precedent though. Whoever did this now knows that they can make a plane go missing full of people and cargo, and eventually know one will really care.  I expect something similar to happen again in the not to distant future.


Makes sense. They wanted to know if they could make a plane go missing. Now they know. 

Hardly.  There are so many people addicted to social media its disgusting!  I have facebook and I keep certain people on there just for a good laugh.  They facebook everywhere they are, take pics of their foods, etc. 

I see more and more young people glued to their phones while at the pub instead of socializing with those around them.  Sadly social media is here to stay I'm afraid.

The fact facebook is trading for roughly $60 bucks proves its far from dead.

Apparently the new Godzilla movie is really good.  Gonna go see it today in something called DBOX. Apparently the seat move or some shit like that.  Considering it's close to $25 bucks it better be good.  It was filmed in and around Vancouver and I know a few friends who made it in as extra's. 

Gonna have to watch closely and see if any of them made it into the movie. I'll have to report back later and see if the reviews I'm hearing are right.

Thanks.

One of the funniest movies I've ever seen is Sex Drive.  It's a little bit on the raunchy side, but I laugh my ass off every time I watch it.

Check it out.  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1135985/

LOL! In fact, I think I'm gonna have to watch it again this weekend.

I call bull.  That cat obviously paid the dog off to try to make them look like the hero. Cats are sneaky like that...

Remember, never trust an animal that expects you to keep a box of their shit in your house.

Damn! Those ribs look huge compared to the crap you get at places like Montana's. Those waffle fries look amazing as well. Good to see more and more places accepting bitcoin.  There is a local burger chain where I live where you can pay with bitcoin at one of their locations.  It's a place called Vera's Burgers.  Hands down, the best burgers around locally.  

I WISH I could find a good rib place in and around Vancouver, they just don't seem to exist.  

If I'm ever in Toronto I know where to go for ribs now, thnaks!

I fully agree with being smart about what is shared online.  Unfortunately social media is rather new and some people are unaware of the damage that can be caused.  Proper education needs to happen and I think it is really lacking. I think it's something they should start teaching in Schools.

For some there is no escape.  Once the damage online is done, for some, there is no turning back.  They have allowed too much of their lives to be known and it's hard for them to get away from it, even by unplugging themselves.  In the Amanda Todd case, a man was arrested for cyber bullying in the Netherlands, The bullying happened in BC Canada. Pack mentality took over and her classmates turned cyber bullying into physical bullying.

probably my grandfathers war medals from WWII.  He never talked about the war much when I was growing up but I found a bunch of 8mm film he took during the war after he died.  His medals were the only thing I was allowed to have after he died with a bunch of old home movies he took. The film he took of the war was in the bottom. 

I always respected my Grandfather a great deal growing up, I spent a lot of time over there.  Almost every weekend and weeks on end during the summer.

Without the effort of people like my grandfather, the world would be a very different place. I gained an even greater respect for him after he died. I keep the medals close to me to remind me of the sacrifices he made. Looking back, I know he suffered a great deal because of things that happened during the war. I wish I would have been older at the time to understand it.

Not sure if anyone here knows much about the Amanda Todd bullying case.  It has made cyber bullying front and center where I live.  While I do agree that people can just unplug and walk away, it still needs to be dealt with.  Bullying in general is a cowards act and a cry for help. Unfortunately the internet allows people to hide behind a computer and spew their filth.

Back in the day, bullying was done in the school yard and eventually they would bully up the wrong tree and have their ass kicked.

You realize that bitcoin is currency right?  Doesn't matter if bitcoin lasts or not, there will always be some form of currency.

Human greed will screw up bitcoin just like it has with fiat. It already is.  Something new will come along and people will consider bitcoin just as stupid.

For thew most part, I gave up on video games years ago.  Bought the last Grand Theft Auto thinking I could get back into it as it looked awesome.  Played it a total of around 3 hours i think.

Oddly enough I finally got around to trying Guitar Hero a couple months back, been hooked ever since.  Let me tell you though, the damn guitars are hard to find these days.  Managed to get a hold of a bunch of used games though.  Pretty cool, they only run a few bucks each.

Girlfriend and I play it often, great for a little competition or we just play solo to advance further in the game.

Been thinking about trying Rocksmith, it's the one that apparently teaches you to play guitar.

I believe the media is a huge threat to bitcoin.  Some people (a lot of people) take what the media says seriously. From what I have seen, mainstream media is very anti bitcoin.  Considering who controls the media, it's no big surprise to me, but others don't see it that way.

I am an open bitcoin supporter on my facebook and of course many know very little about it.  Whenever there is something negative in the media, it gets brought to my attention fairly quickly.
