Bad Days for Mary

I was able to find links about BDFM in this bloggin' world, so I am sharing with you. What's so freakin' special about the band? They were composed of rock stars (with their own worlds), comparable to bubblegum popsters all over the world with Camille's signature alluring voice (the Cardigans, a little bit of Jill Sobule, some wave sounds, and a lot of punk, as in the attitude!) . Then, check out the lyrics of their songs...
This Link 1 is a sampler.
and this Link 2 is an interview.

OK, aside from the music, although I wasn't a groupie --- I was one of those on-your-face event organizers-writers during the era -- I shared with BDFM a lot of other activities including Rock'n Rhythm, late nights out, deadlines, the 'zine life (mine's beerMug, yeah the empty), music, music and a hell lot of music. We we're tryin' to get a life!

Anyway, the original line up is made up of Camille, George (bass), Irvin (drums), Ixan (lead guitar), BJ the punk (rhythm guitar), and Mad, aka Tinding Balasubas (keyboards).

Dating & Women

I stumbled on this dating book promo at Become a Playboy claiming to have all the answers of the issues below:

  • How to approach any woman without fear ... and get her number!
  • Killer pick up lines if you don't know what to say
  • How to tell ... if your girl wants to be kissed
  • The most powerful attraction and seduction techniques
  • A step-by-step plan to get that woman you have feelings for!
  • How to successfully get a date with a model or a hottie
  • Where to take women on dates without having to pay a dime.
  • Seduction secrets that will make women melt in your hands
  • A guaranteed way to get a girlfriend in the next 7 days!
  • The biggest mistakes YOU make when it comes to women and dating

and decided to have my own say about men, women and dating. Not that I am an expert like David Wygant. Then, there's another claiming "Get Laid Guarantee Okay, here's the deal. Buy this book now and get all 3 bonuses. Try this material out for a full 60 days. If you don't meet 10 beautiful women within those 2 months as a result of this hot new book, then I demand that you ask for a full refund. I will cheerfully refund your money if you do not land yourself a really hot babe within 60 days."

This is life! any guy would be saying, with a devilish grin. I often wonder what's keeping them from having a wonderful relationship...

Because in reality, as much as we would like to believe human relations could be put in a book, it all ends up as a myth. So, more books are written and more books sold. But the problem remains.

I'd offer my unsolicited opinion, anyway, and maybe just freakin' forget it... I mean, okay, it's a lonely world out there. If she's not interested, try find someone who will elsewhere...

  • How to approach any woman without fear ... and get her number!

At least have an idea why would she want to be aproached by a stranger like you. At least, try to be in her shoe (shoes?). Many attractive women are almost always taken. It's okay to settle for the next attractive one. Or the less attractive one. Better make it your task to make the un-attractive women you can get become attractive. It would be a little unfair, or cruel, maybe. But it all becomes subjective. It just happens that when un-attractive women gets attention from a guy / guys, they tend to bloom and make extra efforts to become attractive. This is the more practical side, you un-attractive fella. Let's face it. Why would an attractive guy need these guides?

  • Killer pick up lines if you don't know what to say

Maybe, just shut up. Wygant suggested droping a ten dollar bill, or a car key, but make it appear like it was an accident of sort, while the woman you'd like to talk with is a few steps behind. Just make sure she'd spot the key or the bill. Or that she would care. Otherwise, creativity has gone for naught. The killer line? "Oooops!" If it won't work, go back to first tip. Effort is the keyword here. Why would you waste time for a woman you are not really interested with? If it is just a fuck you want, (well, most guys want it for free, darn the economy!) there are very attractive women at the tip of your fingers (online brothels?).

  • How to tell ... if your girl wants to be kissed

Her breath smells fresh, she smells irresistible, and it seemed okay that you touch her. Otherwise, keep off, or cut the date and go home. Let's not waste some precious time.

  • The most powerful attraction and seduction techniques

Honesty and transparency. Why force yourself? Just be yourself always works.

  • A step-by-step plan to get that woman you have feelings for!

Now, do we have to start all over again? It so happens that most attractive women are plain un-decided whom to keep for steady date, or for commitment. We're talking about matters of life and death here. As the joke goes, many women have started to become wise and practical, and would rather keep the sausage in the freezer than bring home a pig. While you may be after the endless carnal pleasure, your woman will be looking for someone who will be a little more attentive to details, like listening to her small talks. A majority of them, anyway, would prefer someone who knows how to listen well.

  • How to successfully get a date with a model or a hottie

You gotta have the load. Pay David Wgant's workshop, and you're in it. But if it won't work, just being there for her might.

  • Where to take women on dates without having to pay a dime.

Is this for real? I really do not dig this. Unless of course you own an upscale restaurant. Otherwise, there's no such thing as a free dinner, dude!

  • Seduction secrets that will make women melt in your hands

This is temporary. Lust is very temporary. If you are after sex, it is almost always practical to have it with a paid woman. But if you are really want her for --- say --- a year or two (haha), there is no need to seduce if the woman feels the same.

  • A guaranteed way to get a girlfriend in the next 7 days!

Seven days? Cool. That's fast. Then lose her in 24 hours. Of course, there are techniques that really work. Work on convincing her for a couple of days. Then, avoid her as if she was a plague afterwards, and, it is suggested, she'd come running to you. Yeah right! Just don't be a pig, ever, okay?

  • The biggest mistakes YOU make when it comes to women and dating

Being a pig. Women like sex for pleasure. But need more time for little details, like listening while she talks about her favorite charity, or her snotty neighbor, or the pig next door.
