		<description>&lt;p&gt;I love the list, but I have to agree that completely ignoring an ex is the best way to do it.  Especially if she's turned out to be slightly more than psycho.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(short comment from a reader)&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Come on, guys.  All breakups are terrible.  If we didn't laugh at them we'd never stop weeping.  The pictures and music prove that YongFook has an actual heart, instead of a little wad of tar as we might be led to believe by his other postings.  And a soul, too!&lt;br /&gt;
I too have discovered that long-distance relationships suck, unless you follow three rules:
1.  The relationship must already be in place before separating.  No dating someone who already lives far away, or start dating just before you leave.
2.  The time apart must be finite and with a definite end (and preferably under a year).  For example: "I am going to Brunei for a training program in baby-eating for 6 months".
3.  There must be a solid, definite plan to rekindle and then move the relationship forward, as in "When I get back from Brunei we will take things slowly and after a while consider the possibility of moving in/getting married/making love without bags over our heads/whatever the next step might be. NOTE: this is not guaranteed to work.  It just ups the chances a little more.
I still think you're the sexiest thing in Tokyo.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;nice to know that guys actually do feel emotion when they go through a breakup and that they may even (shock!) be actively trying to hide it.  i will at least pretend that is true in my current situation, makes me feel better to think he is crying himself to sleep at night.  seriously, i'm glad i chose today to catch up over here.  and i still think YF should come to hawaii, not necessarily due to my newfound lack of boyfriend. . .&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;"hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaâ€¦ they are sooo funny (eyebrows)â€¦."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That is a really erudite and interesting observation.  Thank you for your input, I feel we have all been challenged and stimulated by your well-reasoned argument (sarcasm).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Why don't you post a picture of yourself somewhere so we can make highly constructive comments like:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"BWA-hehahahahahahahe ha... they are so goatlike (breasts)..."&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I second the accusation that you look like Ken Hirai. And your FFIV violin short strangely reminds me of the music from that one Game Gear puzzle game.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I am really stunned to find your site listed as my 3rd choice...while doing a lifestyle change search. After only a brief forums oriented encounter with you....I find this really disturbing. MSN must have something mixed up.
Much peace to you!  Great photos from the Halvsie meeting too!&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Funny how random people play right into the hands of those who simply itch to get the whole world involved in their own private business.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nothing to see around here folks, move on, move on.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nice photos BTW :)&lt;/p&gt;
