This isn’t usually the kind of thing I write about, so please forgive me. But it’s very difficult to watch a documentary that strings together pieces of a childhood trauma, and by the very end, see yourself reflected in that piece. For those of you that don’t know, it’s a documentary that hopes to shed light on the bullying crisis in American public schools. Be careful not to think in line with the old adage “kids will be kids.” When cruelty can follow you home, and affect the entirety of your life, and have a tremendous impact on your future… A cliché just isn’t worthy of it. It’s a movie that affected me very deeply, some of you know that I was born different. I would like to think that I became a well-adjusted adult man in spite of those trials of my childhood. But there is something about this film that rocked me to my core. It never ceases to amaze me how cruel people can be one another. And because of this, how many otherwise good people become perverse images of their former yourselves. Not that I would advocate anything illegal, but I would encourage all of you to get a hold of this documentary, and watch it together. and remember, there is still hope. Check out the trailer here:
Why Your Girlfriend Won’t Blow You
There seems to be a crazy obsession among guys about getting blow jobs. And sometimes, guys get frustrated because their girlfriends, fuck buddies, or whatever either have to be convinced to blow them, or they won’t do it at all. So leave it to your lovely Perverted Sage and friendly neighborhood digital vagabond to clear it up for you. The Internet in general seems to be fond of writing articles that consist of lists, so here you go!
1) You taste nasty.
Let me explain. What you eat has an effect on how your man chowder tastes. So if she’s given you a blow job before but won’t now, this could be why. For God sakes people, use Google and be intelligent enough to know what information is real and what isn’t. But for those Google challenged folks out there, try eating more fruit, the sugars and citric acids affect the way you taste. Who knows, she might like you better in general if you taste better. As a side note, stay away from overindulging in cruciferous vegetables. They make you fart and taste funny.
2) Lack of cleanliness.
This should go without saying, but proper hygiene will do wonders for your sex life. Your partner will want to have sex with you more, because you smell good and taste good. So clean yourselves for Fuck’s sake!
3) Man-Scaping.
You know how there’s been a trend lately to want a smoother playing field on a woman? Well just like you don’t like to eat grass, it’s likely that she doesn’t either. Even women who do like a little bit of hair down there, would prefer that their man does a little bit of trimming. So indulge the woman, and either shave or trim. Trust me, you will thank me later.
4) The Principle of Reciprocity
Those are some pretty big words aren’t they? Basically, you have to give it to get it. Trust me, it’s been my experience that if you can give good oral, she’ll let you do whatever you want. So if you’re not willing to give it, don’t expect it in return. You have absolutely no right to make demands on that sort of thing. Sex is about mutual pleasure, not self-aggrandizing superiority and selfishness.
5) You suck at giving oral.
This is pretty much self-explanatory. If you really don’t know what you’re doing, there are books out there. But I have a better solution, and it’s much, much cheaper. You know when you’re sitting there wishing that your significant other were more like a porn star, all the while watching porn. Pay attention! You might learn a few things. You expect her to, so why don’t you?
Well guys and girls, that’s the end of today’s lesson. I hope you enjoyed yourselves… And if not, I hope you soon will 
On Geeks and Gamers
I was born in the early 80s, and because of that, I was mostly the product of the tech generation that came just before me. When the Nintendo first came out, I got one and I was about three or four years old. I’ve been gaming ever since. As a couple of you have pointed out, at some point at least, it’s hard to believe that someone who’s a gamer could be so… Insert your favorite word here. Here’s the thing, I grew up with video games, and other similar activities. There are huge part of who I am, but they don’t define me. I like to refer to myself as a geek with social skills, and I’m proud of that. But I like to comment a little on general geeky nature, and gamers in general.
The people of my generation were the people who are teaching ourselves HTML way before it was even considered to be a lucrative thing. I was teaching myself that stuff at around the age of 13 or 14. I knew many “geeks” who were also terrific artists, poets, or who were mathematically talented, or even athletic. The thing is, when you think geek here’s what you should be thinking… These are the people that were a part of the Internet long before we knew what it was, the people who shaped it, drove it, and helped make it popular. These people changed the world. The majority of geeks and gamers in my generation, new not only how to use a computer well, but also fix it. Most of us knew how to write some kind of code. Most of us also had other interests.
Another thing I want you to remember, is that geeky is most often synonymous with the word passionate. We are passionate about who we are, the hobbies we choose, and most often what we do for a living. We are a subculture that honest to God, drives popular culture to a large degree. The San Diego comic con used to be a place where it was all about comics. It expanded now, it’s where the big movies go to see whether or not a movie will be a success with my particular kind of crowd. Because marketers are now starting to realize that we are the ones that will make an intellectual property a success long after it leaves the silver screen. It has become not only a mecca for geeky nature, but for testing trends in popular culture. So yes, I am a geek and a gamer. And I’m proud to be that. But remember that never was all that I am.
Geek culture has changed drastically since I was born. I’ll be writing a post on that soon.
you’re it again
Okay WordPress people, nobody guessed it right… Not really. So I’m going to give you the answer, and give you another shot at this. Because I think this is awesome fun! So, the answer was #3. I don’t so much view myself as a writer, as I do a guy who has an affinity for words, and just so happens to write. The way I look at it is this, I have no real professional aspirations in any way shape or form. I write simply because I feel like writing. And I personally don’t feel like that makes me a writer. I know there are a lot of people who would disagree with that statement, and that’s fine, but that’s my personal take on it. And besides, anyone who comes to my blog long enough issuer to notice typos that come from using speech recognition software to write blogs. I’m a terrible proofreader.
It’s funny, people thought 5 was wrong, but if you notice, there are two things in that list that are related. So if one is true, then the likelihood of the other being true goes up! Don’t feel bad though, not even my best friend could get it
Here’s the list:
1) One of my life goals is to teach philosophy.
2) I’ve been with more than 35 women.
3) I view myself as a writer.
4) I used to be a paid male companion
5) I studied game design
6) I’m currently in the process of trying to make a documentary about sex, romance, and the physically disabled.
Ready for round two?
1. I have an IQ of 135
2. I’m terrible at chess
3. I once walked in on a lesbian threesome that was bondage oriented
4. I’ve been a web designer since I was 14.
5. I once got hit by a car
6. I have two kids
Find the Lie!
Okay, so one of my blogger friends posted this list of truths about herself, along with one lie. I thought it would be fun if I tried it too. Leave your guesses in the comments section, and those of you who get it right get to choose my next few blog topics. So have fun with this people!

Thanks to the The Hobbler for bringing me in on your game of blogging tag! The question that was posed to me:
“Sage – If you had to change one thing in your life what would you change?”
If I had to change one thing, I would be working a better paying job. It’s kind of hard to change the world and raise social awareness on the salary of someone who tutors failing middle school and high school students. How am I supposed to make a documentary, if I can raise the funds to make it?
Hobbler: whether you’re a hero or a villain, what would be your superpower and why?
Five Reflections: what is the thing that attracts you most to the haiku?
Snarky Snatch: have you ever had sex with somebody who is physically disabled? How was it, and would you do it again?
Sexy Tofu: if you can answer yes to the above question, would you mind doing an e-mail interview with me?
Dainty Damsel: from your perspective, how would you define love?
Deviant Jester: what are you most afraid of?
Scarlet: what is your geekiest obsession?
Ram0Ram: what inspires you most to write what you do?
Erik: if you had to choose another hobby or career other than writing, what would it be? Why?
Alternate Economy: right now, if you could explain your ideal world, what would it look like?
live 4 life: I know you live for life, so what is the most important thing in life to you?
8-Bit 9 to 5
Multicolored pixels dance across the surface of my mind,
They determine my reality.
Always colorful, but flat and 2D,
It forces me to really think, “Is this really me?”
Gotta get those coins, and save the silly princess from her pixelated strife.
This is just the story of my NES life,
Doing the 8-bit, 2D daily grind.
Simply working that 8-bit 9 to 5.
Dear Hemingway
Dear Hemingway. I don’t reblog a whole lot on here, but this guy is fucking brilliant Well next to me of course 
To Jeff
What follows, is a comment I got from a recent post of mine. I just want to let Jeff know, that I wasn’t blowing off his comment in any way. I just seriously needed some time to give it the reply I thought it deserved… And it turns out that it deserved its own blog post. So if you will all bear with me, I’ll be speaking directly to Jeff from here on out.
Jeff: From people I love, I never need to hear “I’m sorry”. They were forgiven before the ‘sin’ or crime was committed. To people I love I may say “I’m sorry” if I have accidently (or on purpose) hurt them in some kind of way.
And Hobbler is right. “Love Hurts” – and it can. It really sucks sometimes. One mistake all too many people make is the assumption that “If I love them, they should love me” – and feeling hurt because the other person doesn’t, or doesn’t love them in the way they love that person. A source of many pains.
I gave up love from about 13 until 21. Literally said “s*** on it”. Still have some hate issues left over from it. Learned though (when I was 21 – a ‘personality’ and an age; see my ‘about me’) – that I was missing a heck of a lot more by NOT loving than I would be by embracing the concept. Took a lot to do it. (okay, more than a lot. I had to ‘build a new self’ to handle a whole new world for ‘me’.)
Love at best is an ambigious thing, and I NEVER say “I love you” lightly or as just a set of words (I hate that – that people lie like that all the time, saying “I love you” when they just sort of like you). But here’s a question: what does love mean to a child? And is it even necessary for a child to have love at all? (Just a question you understand; and not talking romantic love, either!) Just one of the things that has always puzzled me . . . is love NEEDED – or is it just a desire?
Wow, all that in a tiny comment box? What is the world coming to? You kind of blew me away there, buddy. No bullshit. I can put myself in your shoes to some extent, because I’ve had some very similar issues with getting a hold of the idea of “me” and all that. Although I’ve never had any real help in dealing with any of that stuff. It was all just me, and sheer force of will. Up until recently, that is. And thanks to a very special friend of mine, I was able to let a lot of I go… And she accepted that from me. She made no judgments, and still saw me as the person I was, rather than letting what I had told her beauty and her perception of me. And it is for this reason that I’ll love her till the day I die. And that’s when I realized, the appropriate response to the questions you posed to me. Up front, I don’t disagree with anything you said. If it were mathematically possible for me to agree beyond 100%, I would do so. When I tell somebody that I love them, now it takes on a whole new meaning for me. For me, saying “I love you” to someone, has a lot of different meanings. Let’s be up front, we’re guys. I’ve been known in the past to say I love you just to get past some barrier to my perceived conquest. I was an asshole. Now, I’ve learned that that phrase has a base meaning, irrespective of the type of love that you may have for a person. Saying “I love you” is extremely close to saying “I trust you”.
And in return, you’re also inviting the person to trust you, and ultimately if that person is unwilling to reciprocate, then we do not in fact love each other in any way. So to answer your question, yes… A child needs to have the ability to trust in someone other than themselves. It is absolutely vital, coming from the perspective of someone who’s found it very difficult to trust those that he was supposed to have trusted from birth.

Cosmic, breathtaking beginnings
Woeful indeterminate ends
How are we to know the difference?
If both are beautiful
