so i found this article on msn messenger and its enthralling lol how much of this is true, please tell me =)
How To Keep Your Man Happy: 11 Things He Wants
1. Your backing when he takes a risk. Guys need to keep in touch with adventure — why else would “Man vs. Wild” be a TiVo staple? “When I wanted to switch careers, my girl said to go for it,” says Will, 30. “Having her in my corner gave me the courage to try.”
2. The right to keep secrets. Why should he have to tell you his friend is having an affair, or that his cousin lost his job and hasn’t told his wife yet? If it’s not integral to your relationship, don’t feel threatened. His discretion shows he’s a grown-up.
3. A guilt-free boys’ night out. The cure for “girly-man” syndrome is contact with other high-fiving men. This may mean a trip to the bar or an Ultimate Fighting Championship — but it’s definitely without you, and that’s OK. “See me off with a smile,” says Al-Teriq, 38. “That trust is critical.”
4. The green light to actually have sex, should the opportunity arise, with someone on his Celebrity List of Five. And by all means, hop on Brad Pitt if you ever get the chance.
5. Some space when his team loses the big game. And you can save your “maybe next year” optimism; just give us time alone to weep.
6. A heads-up when you just need us to listen. Sometimes all you really want to do is vent to us about something. A simple warning in advance and we promise we’ll stay quiet and let you talk it out.
7. Patience when he says the wrong thing. Like when you ask, “How’s my hair?” and we say, “Fine,” instead of “Amazing!” Give us a break: We’re trying.
8. Big guffaws and tiny giggles. We like to hear laughter — preferably following one of our silly jokes. We know, we know: Chris Rock and Jerry Seinfeld we are not, but anything you offer will be very much appreciated.
9. Frequent (and enthusiastic) trips downtown. Yes, we all request this, but that’s because it really is that good. We’re happy to return the favor.
10. A GPS for the car. You want this too. It will end those “where the *#!? are we?” arguments once and for all.
11. The freedom to be himself. It’s important for people in a relationship to retain a sense of self, and for guys that’s achievable in some unexpected ways. “Leaving the toilet seat up or spending the weekend in boxers can be an act of rebellion,” says Samuel, 27. “We need to do stuff we’ve always done, even though you might not like it.”

My Hero =)
Some things you didnt know about Nirvana Thanks to Blender =)
Kurt’s imaginary friend got drafted to Vietnam.
Kurt Cobain was born on February 20, 1967. At age 2, he was living in Hoquiam, Washington, and had an imaginary friend, Boddah. Parents Wendy and Don Cobain were so concerned about their son’s propensity for fantasy that, when an uncle was drafted to Vietnam, they told young Kurt that Boddah had been called up too.
At church, Kurt found God — and Krist Novoselic.
On Wednesday nights, Kurt went to Christian Youth Group, where he befriended 19-year-old Krist Novoselic, whom he’d first met in high school. They started covering Led Zeppelin songs together. Kurt was baptized and, according to youth counselor Dave Reed, “accepted Jesus Christ into his life,” but his religious fervor soon waned.
Kurt saved people’s lives. When he wasn’t mopping toilets.
In May 1985, Cobain started work as a janitor and — in the case of staff shortage — a substitute lifeguard at the local YMCA. One night that summer, he graffiti’d the YMCA building. Kurt didn’t seem to realize that as janitor his first assignment the next day would be to clean it up.
Being a Cobain pet was high risk.
In 1981, Kurt killed a cat by trapping it inside his parents’ chimney. Five years later he accidentally stepped on the head of his pet rat, Kitty, and was forced to beat it to death with a plank. In 1991, Kurt dyed his kitten, Quisp, red, white and blue with Kool Aid — then watched it have sex with his pet rabbit Stew.
At first, only furniture thought Nirvana were cool.
One of Nirvana’s first shows was booked at Seattle’s Central Tavern early in 1988. However, the attendance clocked in at an underwhelming zero. Cobain disappointed the expectant chairs and tables. “We loaded up our stuff and left,” he recalled.
Cobain painted on the side. And jizzed on his work.
In 1989, Kurt’s neighbor Amy Moon visited his apartment to commission a painting. Cobain told her that once a piece was finished he would add his “secret ingredient.” “My seed is on this painting! Look, you can see how it glistens,” he announced to her.
…then tried heroin.
In November 1990, Kurt first injected heroin. He had previously smoked pot, experimented with LSD and even inhaled fumes from aerosol cans. In the fall of 1991, though, Kurt’s journals record an eerie decision: “I decided to use heroin on a daily basis because of an ongoing stomach ailment.”
Courtney kept Kurt’s gayness in check.“I’m definitely gay in spirit,” Kurt told The Advocate in 1993. “If I hadn’t found Courtney, I probably would have carried on a bisexual lifestyle.”
Kurt once dumped a girl on live TV…In 1991, Nirvana and Hole were on tour in the U.K. and Kurt’s flirtation with Love was ongoing. But musician Mary Lou Lord believed she was his girlfriend. When Lord visited the U.K., Cobain couldn’t bring himself to tell her in person. When Lord switched on Channel 4 to watch Nirvana perform, she heard Kurt announce, “I just want everyone in this room to know that Courtney Love, of the pop group Hole, is the best fuck in the world.”
Ungrateful kids made Nevermind number 1.
Until Christmas, Nevermind was a top 10 hit. In the week after Christmas, though, it finally reached number 1, toppling Michael Jackson’s Dangerous. “We saw an incredible number of kids returning the CDs their parents had given them for Christmas and buying Nevermind in exchange,” marveled a Tower Records exec.
Kurt grabbed all the royalties.
Initially Kurt had been happy to split royalties equally with David Grohl and Novoselic. But Nevermind proved more successful than their wildest dreams, and Kurt had written the words and music. In 1992, he threatened to dissolve the band unless he got 100 percent of revenue from lyrics and a 75/25 split for music. Grohl and Novoselic agreed.
Fearful of becoming Axl Rose, Kurt skimped on groceries.
Stunned by his meteoric success, Cobain was keen to establish that he wasn’t a decadent rock star like Rose, whom he despised. He stated that in the tax year 1992 to 1993 he earned $1 million: $380,000 went to taxes, $300,000 to a new house and the rest to doctors and lawyers. This left $80,000 for personal expenses, including food. “That’s definitely not what Axl spends in a year,” insisted Cobain.
A wax statue of Cobain once got better VIP treatment than the real deal.
In August 1992, Cobain was strolling in London’s Piccadilly area before playing the Reading Festival. Desperately needing to pee, he tried to enter the Rock ‘N’ Roll Wax Museum — but guards told him toilets were for “patrons only.” The rejected Cobain was upset to see his own waxwork gazing at him from the window.
Sid and Nancy comparisons were not lost on Kurt and Courtney.
Cobain used to check into hotels under the pseudonym Simon Ritchie, the real name of Sex Pistol Sid Vicious. Love’s first acting role was as Nancy Spungen’s friend in Alex Cox’s 1986 movie Sid and Nancy.
Kurt’s chemical dependency counselor OD’d.
Drug rehab physician Rob Fremont had tried a radical and illegal detox method on Cobain. In 1993, Fremont was under investigation by the Medical Board of California for over-prescribing the drug buprenorphine to patients when he was found dead at his desk. Though the death was ruled a heart attack, his son Marc claimed it was a suicide by OD.
Kurt suggested a double suicide the day after Frances was born.
On August 19, 1992, the day after his daughter was born, Cobain read a Vanity Fair article claiming that he and his wife had used heroin during the pregnancy. Agitated, he took a .38 into the maternity ward and suggested to Love they commit suicide. As a ploy to disarm him, Love took the gun, saying she would die first.
Duff McKagan tried to save Kurt.
In April 1994, Guns N’ Roses bassist McKagan found himself next to Cobain on a flight from L.A. to Seattle. Cobain had just absconded from the Exodus rehab facility in Marina Del Rey after just two days’ treatment. “I knew from all my instincts something was wrong,” remembered McKagan. He offered him a ride from the airport, but Cobain slipped away.
He died listening to R.E.M.
On April 5, 1994, at his Seattle home, Kurt Cobain arranged his heroin stash, his rifle and some towels around him. He then played R.E.M.’s Automatic for the People. His body was found by electrician Gary Smith on Friday, April 8, dead of a shotgun blast to the head.
The last note he wrote was addressed to Boddah.
He wrote one suicide note for Courtney and Frances and another to his fans. The latter was addressed to Boddah, his imaginary childhood friend.
Kurt was the Foo Fighters’ drummer. Sorta.
In January 1994, Grohl and Novoselic showed up to record in Seattle. Kurt skipped, so they recorded some of Grohl’s ideas. When Kurt showed two days later, he played drums on these sketches. In 1995, Dave Grohl formed the Foo Fighters and re-recorded some of these ideas.

On Being 21
I just turned 21 last week, and let me tell you.. so far it was been one of the best experiences in my life. Not just because now I can legally buy alcohol and am more proned on getting a DUI, but just because I have had so many people express their love and appreciation for me just cuz its my bday lol. What are friends for if not for buying you shots and dragging you out of a bar when you're super gone? Or maybe surrounding you with garbage bags so that you wont purge on their couch because they are offering their home to you? lol. Being 21 opens so many doors, my first 21 and over club was a pretty sober experience, but an experience nonetheless. I loved just dancing with my friends, no restrictions, I can do whatever I please because nothing can stop us now! David Guetta, Rihanna, Pitbull, and the best of the 90's were there to cheer us on. Amazing.. I still get lost sometimes and it always slips "How old do you have to be to get in?" Pau Pau caught me the other day and I beamed when I realized I don't have to ask anymore. The only bad side, it's all downhill from here lol. Now I only have retirement to look forward to. I wish more people had an open mind though. Alcohol is not the only way to have a good time and party. I am waiting for some suggestions to see if anyone is creative enough in order to offer alternatives. If you find anything let me know, I am officially old enough to do whatever I please =)
