Downtown Dash 2011
I am currently participating in an event called the Downtown Dash where I am raising awareness and money for JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation).
11 Signs they do NOT want a relationship with you
- Texting Instead of Calling
Does he text more often than he calls? When a guy likes a girl, he wants to hear her voice. “Texting is not an easy way to communicate — it’s an easy way to avoid communication,” - Never on Time
He finds reasons to blow you off or be late more times than not. Maybe he’s just flaky or disorganized, you say? Don’t make excuses. If a guy likes you and wants to continue hanging out with you, he’ll find a way to do so. Adds Mike: “I’ll come in to work one hour early if I want to get off in time to pick up cooking ingredients for a dinner date with someone I like.” - Their Ex Is Still In the Picture
He talks to his ex-girlfriends. Nothing makes a guy forget his ex like a girl he wants to be with. If he continues talking with an ex, that’s the first sign that he’s either not over a prior girlfriend or he’s just not that in to you. - Doesn’t Introduce You to His Friends
They should be proud of you, want to show you off and want to include you in his life. - Complete Absence of PDA
He avoids even minor instances of intimacy in public. “Listen, not all guys are comfortable with PDA. Not everyone likes to make out for the whole world to see. But when I really like someone, no matter what I’m generally comfortable doing, I’ll at least put my arm around her and give her a kiss on the cheek.” - No Mentions of Future Plans Together
He doesn’t use the pronoun “we” or use it in the future tense. If he talks about a great new restaurant he discovered, but doesn’t add, “We should go there sometime” — and maybe he just says “I go there a lot” — then he’s not interested in sharing things with you. Plus: “Guys who are into girls want to explore with them — not sit on the couch on every date,” says Mike.
- Lack of Kindness
He doesn’t do something sweet for you at least once a week. That doesn’t mean he’s buying you a dozen roses but he should have said or done something that made you go “Aw!” in the last seven days. - Shows No Interest In People You Love
He doesn’t ask questions about your family and friends. - He Doesn’t Suggest or Plan Dates
What if he doesn’t initiate at least 80% of the things you do together? “I call this the 80/20 rule,” explains Mike. “When I don’t like a girl, the 80% drops significantly. I’m not even aware of it. I’ll get off the phone and never close the conversation with a set of plans.” Note that it doesn’t have to be exact plans, but it should at least be, “Let’s hang out later this week and we’ll do dinner. I’ll call you tomorrow. - Important Dates Don’t Resonate for Him
He doesn’t remember your one month anniversary - Radio Silence on His Facebook Page
Has he posted a picture of you together on Facebook within two months of the first date? Guys who are excited about you will post and tag your beautiful face!

Auto Update WordPress Locally
As a web developer I run a local instance of WordPress on my machine, and out of the box you can NOT take advantage of WordPress’ auto upgrade/update feature. If you open a terminal and update the file permissions this will resolve that issue.
$ cd //Sites/
$ sudo chown -R _www wordpress
$ sudo chmod -R g+w wordpress
This way, the WordPress directories have a permission level of 775 and files have a permission level of 664. No file nor directory is world-writeable.
Unusual but fun date ideas
- Go on a search for as many good climbing trees as possible, climb as high as you both can in all of them, compile photo evidence.
- Go to a major chain bookstore, and leave notes to future readers in copies of your favorite books.
- Have her dressed up as a ghost and you dress up as Pacman. Walk around downtown holding hands, and whenever anyone sees you two, pretend to be embarrassed, and run off screaming “wocka wock wocka”.
- Create photo evidence suggesting that you went on an adventure that didn’t really happen.
- Dress up as superheroes and stop at least one petty crime “ie. jaywalking, littering…”
- Build forts out of furniture and blankets, and wage war with paper airlines.
- Try and visit as many people as you can in one night, and turn as many things inside their apartment upside down as you can, without them noticing.
- Go to the airport, get the cheapest, soonest departing flight to anywhere when you show, and stay there for a weekend.
- Write a piece of fiction together. Outside at a cafe. Ask strangers when you get stuck.
- Dress to the nines, pretend to be married, and test drive very expensive vehicles at an auto dealership.
- Do the lamest tourist thing in your area that you have both secretly wanted to do forever. Have an unabashed good time!
- In the middle of the night, drive to the beach, so you arrive just as the sun is rising. have a breakfast picnic, then fall asleep together. Bring a sun umbrella.
- Drive somewhere unknown and have dinner in a city you’ve never been to. With fake names.
- Go to a minor league baseball game under the stars. Tell each other stories about how bad you are at athletics. Randomly cheer for both teams. Eat lots of Cracker Jacks.
- Go around the city with sidewalk chalk and draw hearts with equations inside on random things.
- Walk around a city and perform short silent plays in front of security cameras.
- With a camera and pair of boots, make photo-log of a day in the life of the invisible man.
- Walk around the city all night and find a place to eat breakfast at dawn.
- Go to a restaurant and convince the cook to create something completely new for you.
- Rent a movie you’ve never seen before. Set on mute and improvise the dialogue.
