Lastly, I try pretty hard to not really push any kind of political agenda or ideals on
this videogame website since I feel this really isnt the place for it and honestly I'm
just not very political. However I do feel compelled to say regardless of your political
leanings there are some good reasons to be proud of America today and perhaps even a
little hopeful. I think we can all agree that we want a prosperous and safe America that
also allows us to travel to other countries without shoes being thrown at us. Perhaps
those days are ahead of us.

I've never met a girl that I've really been interested in. I mean, I'll be attracted to them and have sex with them. But no girl has ever really held my interest beyond that.
AITOO?

Yesterday I ate an apple with lunch and a shred of the skin got stuck between two of my teeth. I was trying to finagle it out with my tongue all day (very annoying) so when I got home I immediately stormed to the bathroom and grabbed a floss pick (very similar to http://thefuntimesguide.com/images/blogs/den-tek-dental-flosser.jpg) and promised the little bastard I'd make it quick. Well no sooner do I get the floss in there then I actually jam the piece of apple skin further up and out of reach, so now I can't even get the floss up there. I did something I probably shouldn't have, and that is used the pointy end of the flosser to try and get it out of there, and ended up just poking myself alot. Ow.
So I wake up this morning and now my mouth is all sore there. The gum is a bit swollen. I don't know if it's because the apple skin is making a nice home underneath there, killing my doods, or because I poked myself with the pointy pick too much. I brushed only gently on that side this morning but now I'm unsure if I should go to the dentist before my teeth over there start tumbling out of my head or if the situation will resolve itself.

And follow up question : Do you think it could be by design? As in, Valve decided that most people didn't like being genuinely scared and so didn't try to push that aspect?

I turned around, held on to the bar incase it was too far and I dropped down.
Long story short my arm kinda yanked upwards like the left shot here.

For a few days I couldn't touch my opposite shoulder.
It's much better now but there's still light pain when I go too far up or around in general with it and it's been nearly 3 months.
Shackdoctors, what do you reckon I did? The pain isn't that bad but it worries me that I won't be able to use it for anything proper strenuous over time.
Yeah, I should see a doctor

On a related note, are Samsungs pretty much the way to go for LCD TVs, or do other companies compare quality-wise? Phillips? Sony? Magnavox? LG?

I haven't heard this album and now I want to, but I want to pick the right version. For some reason the track lengths differ between the two albums so I have doubts :(

So I was told to eat protein about 30 minutes or less after I work out, but I have two questions about that.
1. If I am just running and doing the elliptical machine, do I need protein or do I need to get potassium and electrolytes?
2. I work out about 10:30 at night and go to bed around midnight, do I need to eat that late right before I go to bed?
I usually eat a can of tuna fish with 1 table spoon of light mayo, relish and black olives or I eat a can of Vienna sausage and wheat crackers.

My friend told me about IBM Symphony which is an office suite, and he said it's phenomenal. The only other office app that I know of is Open Office, and my previous (but dated) experience with it wasn't good. What do you guys think of these 3 products? Is Symphony and/or OpenOffice better than MS Office yet?
