&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Then I realized I had nothing at all to say to make myself interesting.

&lt;br/&gt;I have no hobbies, I don't do anything athletic, all I do is go to work and come home and watch TV or watch a DVD.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I don't think I'd even want to date a girl that would lower her standards for me.  I don't feel bad about it or wish I had a cool hobby or something because I love being a loser.  There is no stress to impress anyone this way.

&lt;br/&gt;I'm driving to Hollywood to go meet her and I get pulled over by a cop on a motorcycle for having no seatbelt on.  Even though I had it on earlier on just took it off 5 minutes before that.
&lt;br/&gt;So now I'm ten minutes late and I call her cell phone and it's not her cell phone. It's her home # so I can't get ahold of her.
&lt;br/&gt;Then it takes me 10 minutes to parking and they rape you by charging $2 every 15 minutes.
&lt;br/&gt;Then by the time I get to where I'm supposed to be I'm 25 minutes late and she is gone.
&lt;br/&gt;I am suck a fucking loser.&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;If one can arrange a situation in which people feel they must hire you, but that you're too much of a loser to be trusted with doing any real work, then, while all the slaves suffer at their desks, the loser, while living on subsistence wages, can have the most carefree life, and hence be less prone to smoking, alcoholism and over-eating as compensation for work misery.  Hence, the loser may outlive the winner by decades.  Winners sometimes are so useful that they end up getting used up, enslaved and finally imprisoned in a stressful winner environment.  It may be that the gods, who I mostly feel are denying me the goodies in life, may have, without my knowing it, by denying me these things, been actually saving me from the hell of winnerdom.&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;I watched Lord of the Rings three times this weekend.  I read all the books when I was about 12 so the movies are extra cool to me because they bring back fond memories of when I was just a young l00ser. I would be alone in my room reading every book about elves and wizards and orcs I could get my hands on.  I wish I lived in a fantasy world, I know I wouldn't be such a l00ser then. I would be one step ahead of everyone since I have already prepared myself to live in a fantasy world and would know things.  I would learn spells and would be a good swordfighter, I'd be part warrior and part wizard, I'd kick ass.   All the girls who blew me off, all the guys who were a dick to me, they would all be sorry.  I wouldn't do anything to them or anything, but I wouldn't help them either.  They would probably all be captured by trolls or goblins or something and beg for me to help them (since I'd be a kick ass warrior/wizard), but I'd gently remind them that they had a chance to be my friend a long time ago.  Then they would all be sorry and beg to know me better, of course, I might free some of the chicks just for a quick thrill ride but if they stepped out of line they might end up right back with the goblins.  
&lt;br/&gt;Yes, life would be sweet if the world was more like a fantasy world.  I am not telling anyone what to do, but if you ever meet me you might what to think twice before you brush me off as a pathetic l00ser.  You never know.

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Wow!  I was on a winning streak there, but woke up today right down in the middle of solid loserhood.  None of the playa chicks I was giving backrubs will call since they've not exhausted their supply of real men yet.  One did call actually and threatened to set up a date, which she then backed out on, but then again, she's having to go get checked for cancer next week.  (So I'm such a loser this week that only the potentially dying will call me.  How is that for sucky!)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Then there was this one playa gal who calls me only when all other interesting guys cancel on her, (she doesn't know I know exactly how she does this), then invites me to a movie.  (She limits me to movies only these days so that there's no chance of an intimate conversation nor any hope of really hanging out.  So I'm only good in the sense that she's such a winner that she just can't get the concept of having to see a movie alone during the once-in-four-month event that her schedule gets screwed up due to a cancellation.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Dammit!  I'm just on everyone's Z-List again.  (Here's a new loser term I made up, "Z-Listing".  That's where a person won't give up contact with you because there are some really desperate times when they need you for very practical purposes and have no romantic interest whatsoever, but semi-fake like they do to get favors, but they used to be real friends who at least thought you were cute.  When this happens to me and others I know, I say that they got Z-Listed.)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;My new listing terminology:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A-List:  The guys or gals who people keep very close to by cellphone because they're really sexy or really rich and thereby represent a solid social promotion.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;B-List:  People who are best friends, very close family members and even lovers one is holding onto until a really hot opportunity comes along.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;C-List:  All the important people are tied up at once, so one calls these folks who are just fine people, nothing wrong with them, but there's just no action of any exciting sort, and no strong political capital like one has with family and such.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;D-List:  Then, should a winner find that the weekend is a total disaster, and they're on a bit of a losing streak themselves, they will call their D-List folks.  D-List people are the people winners call in these situations, and they get their needs met and a social and emotional crisis is averted, however afterwards they suffer from a bit of nausea and shame at having sunk so low as to call that person.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Z-List:  These are the folks who've been written off, almost altogether.  The winner calls these people twice a year to borrow money, or when they need to vent some really embarrassing problem that they don't want anyone who is really in their life to know about.  They can get the cash or vent the embarrassing shit and then get out of there and try to forget they know the person.  They even go so far as to delete the number from their cellphone list so they don't have to be reminded of the unpleasant thought that they need this person on extremely rare occasions.  So that in the say once-in-two-year occasion they need to call the person they've Z-Listed, they must look the number up in the phone book.  By the way, you know you're on the Z-List when once a year you talk to this person, maybe meeting them in the street accidentally, or at a party accidentally, and each year, even though you've known them ten years, they ask for your e-mail and phone number and street address, since they throw the number out each year and hope they don't have to call back.  But then when they run into you, they realize they shouldn't lose track altogether.  After all, if they're thin and rich now, they could be poor and fat and insane later, in which case, suddenly, they'll fall in love with you, but not while they have even one scrap of game going at all.&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Okay, what about this.  I was struggling with my membership in BL because things had been going so great.  But could a big loser, (and I even think this could fit within the dictionary definition), be a person who is currently doing well but HAD suffered big losses and remembers them with dread?  And further, what about a person who was doing well now, but had suffered a zillion defeats and would not at all be surprised if a zillion more awaited?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Here's a recent one.  I broke the rules and I made a fake profile, a guy who had little to say for himself except a single mooning butt shot.  And so I put this guy on my friends list, although though there never was a Moon Lee.  It was a fictional character, and I thought everyone in the tribe would see that it was the sort of thing that I'd make up and therefore laugh, especially since the hostess of the tribe is fond of putting up butt shots all the time of herself.  Okay, so when Moon Lee writes her and says, "Could I join your most exclusinve Tribe?" she not only refuses him, but then finds he is on my friends list and figured I made the referral, and therefore she tosses me out of the tribe and then claims that I've hurt her feelings by letting others know about her Tribe, which I had no idea she was keeping secret, because she never told me.  And so the curious case of Moon Lee goes on.&lt;/div&gt;

Basically this is a mentally handicapped 14 year old who's fatehr is Australian and mother is American.

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Sorry, just need to vent here...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Over the years, I've observed that when someone is interested in another person, there is no such thing as being too busy to find time for that person.  Five hundred word e-mails every day, a million questions about my likes and dislikes, two hour phone calls, chatting on AIM past two in the morning...it's truly amazing how much time a person will devote to that promising new face.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I've had women tell me how they have to be up at six AM to get to work, plus two people at the office are out sick and this lady now has to cover for them as well as doing her own workload, plus she's moving house this week and everything has to be in boxes, plus her mother is sick and she needs to visit her tomorrow, but none of that matters.  I promise, I'm really not exaggerating here.  And hey, I'm not a complete jerk, I truly want to be considerate.  I'll be saying "you have so much to do, please get some rest, it's cool" but she won't take that for an answer, no matter how much she has to do.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Then all of a sudden, a long silence...and then I get the quick note about how she's so so so sorry, things have just been crazy here lately, she's so busy she hasn't had a chance all week to send a note, she owes me a response and feels really bad about it, but she'll get to it Real Soon Now.  Okay, fine, whatever.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This isn't something unique to me, nor is it specific to either gender...lest you think my intent here is to whine about how badly treated I feel by fickle women.  This is just something that people do.  They decide they're not interested, but they don't want to be "bad people" so they won't be upfront about it.  But having had this happen to me four times in the past two months, I'd prefer the brutal honesty.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Here's a tip for future reference: when you tell someone "I'm busy," we already know it means "I don't have time for you anymore," okay?  Do you honestly think anyone is fooled?&lt;/div&gt;

I'm such a loser cute women, even after they know I'm harmless and reduced to a sexless nobody, won't even talk to me on a friendship level.  I'm really dust now.  Saturday, 11PM, and I think maybe my Mom wouldn't even pick up the phone.  Even my Mom was avoiding me for about five years till I finally almost left the family, and even then she only agreed to pay more attention to me because the actual announcement that I had left would cause embarrassment among the larger and huge extended family.  So now, sadly, my Mom must call every three weeks and pretend to care.  Other than that, I have finally reached pariahood.&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;OK, I've got a major loser dilemna, and I need help!
&lt;br/&gt;It's been a long time since I've been to a wedding (either the full thing, or just the evening reception), but today I got an invite to one. The bride told me a couple of weeks back that she had an invite for me for the eveing reception, just forgot to send it. So I thanked her and said yes, I'd love to go.
&lt;br/&gt;Today I got the invite.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Now, they know I'm single, but they put on the invite "&amp;amp;lt;me&gt; + Guest"
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So, here's the problem: if I go, I'll be the only single person there in my age range. Yes, there's bound to be single people in their teens, and widows/widowers in their 60s+
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The second option is to take someone. And herein lies the next problem. Off the top of my head, I know 4 single women who I could consider asking.
&lt;br/&gt;The first one would say yes, and would either spend the evening shouting at me, or trying to get me to marry her (she's been in relationship councilling for 2 years, and her therapist says she needs at least another 2 years before she will be in a position to date, so I found out, rather painfully)
&lt;br/&gt;The second one might say yes, but the last time she took me to a party, about an hour into it she decided to get stoned, and collapsed, unconscious in the corner.
&lt;br/&gt;The third and fourth ones I know as acquaintances more than close friends, and I believe that either of them would consider me asking them out to a wedding would be me asking them on a first date. And about the only thing I do know is that you don't take someone on a first date to a wedding.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The final option (as far as I can see) is not to go.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What should a loser like me do?&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;LOSER
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thankfully, I phoned the council and they agreed to back date it to April this year, so in reality, I only wasted $750. Or, to put it another way, I am such a LOSER that I gave the greedy people who run this shambles of a country $750 that they didn't deserve!&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;I hadn't done as many postings lately because I'd run out of ways to express my loserhood, which was only a lack of creativity on my part, since loserhood is literally infinite.  Winnerhood is fragile, and even the best winners have, at best, a tentative and emphemeral and delicate hold on their powers of winnerdom.  However, loserhood is the vast bulk of the cosmos.  Like the planets and stars use up only a billionth of a percent of the room in outer space, and the other 99.9999999999% is all black, freezing, meaningless void.  Thus, the void rules.  In the same way, winnerhood is just this precious tiny fragment of a flake of a particle of the world.  Loserhood stretches out like the vastness of space itself, unconquerable, always having the last say, eternal, omnipotent and final.  But I digress.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The new category of loserhood is:  Middle-aged guys who are poor or ugly and therefore cannot get laid who delusionally imagine that somehow posting a zillion things on Tribe.Net will somehow land them a skinny, little, tatooed hipster babe, when, in reality, they must spend their lives vainly wanking off, and, instead of dating women their own age, sadly pray to live out their barbie chick fantasies in their minds.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;what it said about me:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; Here's what happens to people who get the name Diana gonna ride. 
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;- You cannot find peace of mind or lasting contentment in anything you do. 
&lt;br/&gt;- Expression comes easily to you; in fact, you should learn to control it and discipline your expression. 
&lt;br/&gt;- You are not practical where money matters are concerned, your theory being that money is there to be spent. 
&lt;br/&gt;- People with problems are drawn to you as they recognize you as one who has understanding. You are constantly surrounded by losers. 
&lt;br/&gt;- You would be better off if you just put yourself out of your misery. &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Fear the Wobblies,
&lt;br/&gt;or;
&lt;br/&gt;Celebrating Independence Day as it was Intended
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;   It's that time of year again.  The Fourth of July, that historic date when the Founding Fathers declared independence from Britain.  Six of the thirteen colonies allowed all white males, and only white males, to vote.  The other seven had significant property requirements that disqualified a large percentage of white males from voting making for a real election by and for the aristocracy.  That the nation was founded with such limited suffrage might surprise some people, but not many.  It's also fairly common knowledge that the United States was founded on two genocides [actually hundreds but for the sake of brevity I'm grouping, criminally I admit, all Native Americans and all Africans into just two groups].  None of that is really news at all.  What some folks don't know is why people that the date should have no meaning for celebrate the Fourth of July.  If you weren't a landed white male in most states in 1776, you couldn't vote.  Independence from Britain meant nothing to you.  Why then, the hoopla over the 4th of July?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;  The rising influence of organized labor from the 1880's was clearly a cause for alarm amongst the American economic elite.  During the second rise of organized labor the National Association of Manufacturers would refer with great concern to the "hazard facing industrialists" because of the "newly realized political power of the masses".   Probably the most significant labor action up to that time, the Lawrence Strike of 1912 advanced the rights of "unskilled workers" and made a real threat to capital.  Mainstream commentators at the time were amazed that the "dull mentality" of the workers could rise to successfully fight the factory owners.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;No time was wasted by [Industrial Workers of the World organizer Joseph] Ettor in mere organization. His plan of campaign was, first to weld the factions tightly together, then win the victory, and then organize permanently. To unite those conflicting racial antagonisms into a single bond of brotherhood was no small job for any man to do, yet Ettor did it! Make a note of the man who could come as a stranger into that polyglot chaos, and transform it. He knew that misery makes strange bed-fellows, and that hearts are welded by suffering endured together...Tactically he outpointed the mill agents.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;   Facing a fight that could not be won by the old standby of violent repression, it was necessary for industrialists to find alternate means by which they could control their workforces.  With this in mind the previously struggling Americanization Movement started receiving support from both industrialists and the American government.  The Americanization Movement "offered a program which would solve the problem of the immigrant with the least disturbance to the economic and political life of the nation; a program which would not result in the loss of an exceedingly valuable labour supply to America."   Thus the dangerous immigrant could be controlled and industrialists could keep the remarkable bargain that was the American worker.  The largest of the Americanization organizations was the Committee for Immigrants in America (CIA) chaired by railroad and mining baron Frank Trumbull.  With funds and personnel from the CIA, the Federal Bureau of Education (FBE) took charge of the Americanization Movement setting up the Division of Immigrant Education.   Despite this official recognition from the government, something was missing to make Americanization effective leaving the wealthy vulnerable to the collective power of a "dull mentality" organized.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;  The lynchpin in the Americanization wheel came with outbreak of World War I.  Much as the recent American military activities have blanketed immigrants with suspicion and oppression, the immigrant communities of 1915 were much ostracized and portrayed as subversive, threatening and of course, un-American.  Wrapping patriotism around an anti-labor crusade allowed industrialists like Vincent Astor and Felix Warburg to extend the Americanization Movement to envelop the entirety of the workforce with Americanized values.  To this effect the CIA formed the National Americanization Day Committee (NADC) in 1915.  The NADC (chaired by Frank Trumbull) began planning a program for Americanization Day for the Fourth of July, 1915.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;On July 4, 1915, about 150 cities across the country took part in a National Americanization Day promoted and coordinated by [Frances] Kellor. In Pittsburgh, an audience of 10,000 immigrants listened to 1,000 children sing patriotic songs and form a giant American flag. In Indianapolis, recently naturalized citizens gave speeches in 11 languages on the duties of citizenship.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;   Far from being detached from the machinations of private power President Woodrow Wilson joined in, giving a speech at an induction ceremony in Philadelphia.  The success of the event led to the America First campaign kicked off in October, 1915.  The NADC, having changed its name to the National Americanization Committee (NAC) began preparing information packets, advertisements and circulars to be distributed.  With the FBE being funded and operated by private sources the NAC and other groups had the official backing of the government in a campaign that in the year 1916 "distributed a vast amount of promotional material, including almost 100 000 circulars, newsletters schedules of standards and syllabuses and 29 400 news releases."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;  April, 1917 brought the United States' entry into World War One.  Direct American involvement in the war meant an uncommon opportunity to stoke the flames of patriotism even higher thus 1917 brought the Americanization movement groups like the Committee on Industrial Engineering (chairman, Frank Trumbull) and the National Committee on Patriotic Literature (can you guess who chaired it?).  The latter produced over two million copies of booklets, flag posters and other propaganda to be distributed primarily to immigrant communities.  One year after America's entry into WWI, the Federal Bureau of Education arranged a conference to equate Americanization fully with the war effort.  The committee representing the conference drew up bills for Congress to approve giving the FBE the support to dramatically increase Americanization.  1918 brought another interesting development to the Americanization drive, the change of name for the celebrations on July 4th.  President Wilson agreed with the change and thus the official national celebration of Independence Day was born.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;  The elite interests that directed the Americanization effort found patriotism and national security convenient ways to fight organized labor.  The actions were not at all unlike the 2002 invocation of the Taft-Hartley Act against the ILWU in the name of national security with Donald Rumsfeld stating that the dispute was hindering "the department's ability to prosecute the global war on terrorism."   The Independence desired by the Americanizers was not one of democracy, freedom or brotherhood.  Their cause was one of destroying radical unionism and keeping workers In-Dependence of their exploiting wage system.  The federal government adopting the Americanization movement socialized the costs of suppression unions and made the workers themselves pay for their own oppression.  The bitter irony of that has been repeated every time Congress or the President pass/sign anti-worker legislation.  With the type of Independence proselytized by Frank Trumbull, Woodrow Wilson and others it's amazing the workers have even the little rights that we do have.  That we have any rights in the face of a massive private and governmental onslaught (not to mention the, being very generous here, poor leadership of the major unions) is as good a compliment as can be paid to workers and our resistance to attacks on our dignity.  Remember what exactly it is that people are celebrating today when they're waving their flags and waiving their rights.  People are celebrating their own oppression (unless you own a yacht, in which case you are probably making money off the celebration and laughing with spasmodic glee at the irony).  Yet through this the progressive movements in the United States and worldwide have persisted and even grown.  The globalized (in the best possible sense of the word) movements for social justice and against militarism were recognized by the New York Times as a "second superpower."   I don't like that term though, it smacks of the militarist histories that the major powers have.  What would be much more appropriate would be for us to finally start paying attention to the lesson that Haiti tried to teach the world in 1990.  Against a candidate backed by the US, a metaphor for revolution was born in the poorest districts of Port-au-Prince.  Alone we are weak, together we are a flood.  We are Lavalas.  Enjoy your day.
