My Top Five Online Dating Mysteries

July 23, 2009

I’m blogging for my pals over at the Lek, here’s a piece I posted this morning:

Howdy all, Schinders here.  Been back in the online dating pool a few weeks now, and I’m finally adjusting to the temperature.  I’m beginning to remember how this all works.  I’ve also seen, and remembered, some things that just seem inexplicable.  So, here they are, my top five things that make me go Hmm, the stuff you don’t know why anyone would do, my Top Five Online Dating Mysteries!

  1. A CONFUSING PHOTO – Why did you post that photo? You claim to be a non-smoker, yet in this picture you’re clearly smoking.  Or, I think that’s you in the picture, but it’s taken from so far away, who can tell?  Or, wow a picture of a group of guys… I wonder which one I’m communicating with… People, post a photo of you that looks like you, that’s clear, that’s attractive… this is common sense stuff folks… Read the rest of this entry »

A Grab Bag with Some Pussies

November 12, 2008

I’ve got a bunch of stuff to share, so let’s get to it!

First off, last Saturday I went to an animal adoption fair in West Hollywood, my friend Jennifer fosters animals and has some kitties that need homes.

If you want a kitty, lemme know.

Second, run out and get Raphael Saadiq’s new album!  Formerly of Tony, Toni, Tone, Saadiq grew up in Detroit, the Motown Studios were practically in his back yard, and you can hear it in his sound. Dope dope dope!

Third, need a great xmas gift for someone?  Just had a kid and doing a room?  Want a groovy peel and stick blackboard just ’cause? Check out Wallcandyarts.com; i’m all about the Rococo Blackboard!

Fourth, yes, I’ll admit that I’m enjoying using salicious titles and tags.

My Dinner With Dow (Okay, My Phoner With Dow)

June 17, 2008

I’ve done another interview for FanLib, this time with Mike Dow, co-creator of Ten Things I Hate About Commandments.

The interview’s in four parts: One, Two, Three, and Four. It’s pretty interesting if I do say so myself. Dow’s a funny guy and if you wanna make a viral video he makes the steps seem do-able.

Boo Ebay

April 1, 2008

They’ve taken Brian Kennedy off line on ebay.  They say he violates terms of service… I thought you’d have to buy him for violations.  Boo Ebay, it was charity.  Boo.

Now There’s Something I’d Bid On!

March 28, 2008

You can win a date with Kristen Davis and Scarlett Johansson, the proceeds go to Oxfam; a friend of mine, the adorable Brian Kennedy – if you’re in LA he’s the tall, great looking blond who tends bar at Dolce and Les Deaux – decided to get in on the action. I’ll let his words speak for themselves:

My buddy Jack Baker and I wanted to auction off a date with yours truly on eBay and donate all the proceeds to our favorite charity, The Jimmy Fund. The Jimmy Fund is run out of Boston through the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.
Well, here’s hoping you can do whatever is in your power to help two “regular” guys also do something good for charity, all while making people laugh a little. Let’s show the world that celebrities aren’t the only ones who can do good deeds. Send this to anybody you know that might be interested or might be able to get us noticed.

Thanks to everyone!

Brian”
