Every girl I've had a crush on was dumb and/or was out of my league (especially in age).
Some of my peers (I won't name names) were or are obsessed with having girlfriends (like in middle school or high school). In elementary school, having a boyfriend/girlfriend was "gross" around the kids my age. Then in middle school, having a boyfriend/girlfriend was a sensational tabloid-like substance that circulated well around in gossip rings. Apparently in high school having a boyfriend/girlfriend is pretty much normal - since teen parents are more common now than in the 1950s.
About those people that think you're "not cool" if you don't have a boy/girlfriend - I think that they are pretty crass. It's not like I haven't met "my match" but I just think that I'm too different for any girl to like me. (Although you might think that I'm wrong,) I feel comfortable enough to say that I won't want a wife when I grow up. People say that if you don't, then you'll get lonely when you're old and that sort of crap.
It's not as if the ladies I was ever interested in were mentally challenged, but they were not my type (intellectually). I mean, what kind of match up would a smart man and a dumb woman make? A very bad one, I can only suppose. I know that I am certainly not smart enough to enlighten a dumb woman or have a dumb woman have a life-changing epiphany.
So I think I've had it with "getting a girl."

Candy Crush: Just a Bejewled Ripoff
I'm very sorry that I haven't been uploading anything regularly for the past two months but I have to take care of important things.
Other than that, I have an urgent topic that needs to be addressed immediately (Yes, this topic is even more important than the other 4 posts that are currently in draft mode):
Candy Crush is lame.
If you are a part of active society, you should know what game I'm talking about. (If not, you can see the 1st level of the game for yourself [here]. You can also download it on the App Store and Google Play - but this is not an ad, so, let's get back on topic.)
You might be reading this post with an agape mouth right now - and have an Amazon River of hate running though your head right now, all directed at me. (That is, if you're just a banal hipster.)
I say this because I asked someone how to explain it about last week, since its popularity has exploded all over my school. One of my classmates has even made two Facebook accounts to play this game.
The explanation was simple.
"Do you know Bejeweled?"
"Yeah."
"Well, it's like that but with candy." (Hence the name Candy Crush.)
I am certain that Bejeweled has been out for about 5 years now. Also I am sure that Bejeweled must have had some success, despite not being a mainstream smash hit. So just imagine replacing Bejeweled with candy and... Well, to me that would be lame and a ripoff. I have the Bejeweled demo on my feature phone and I pretty much know the gist of that game - which is nothing to hype about.
To see what all this hype was about, I played the first level. I'll admit that it's kind of cool to get an ultra candy when you put 4/5 pieces of candy in a row or a square L (3 down and 2 to the left/right of the top/bottom end of the 3 in a row). That's something that I thought would deserve more points than just 10 extra points for every jewel in a row or for the square L. However, I realized that the game itself purposely makes it difficult for players to make those arrangements - unlike Bejeweled.
I did like the Venetian background music. It's a cheesy ripoff of Bejeweled. I mean, who wants to arrange pieces of candy into 3 or more in a row in real life? Then again, how would even be rich enough to have that many jewels to play around with in Bejeweled?
