I'm looking for people in their mid to late twenties who are not only unsatisfied with the culture in Michigan, but also with society in general. Please don't contact me if you're looking for textbook philosophical discussions, or if you don't have a sense of humor or nuance.
I'm hoping to meet other creative types who are interested in collaborating on projects. You could be a writer, designer, painter/illustrator, photographer, filmmaker, musician, performer, etc. You should be into existentialism, psychedelia, consciousness, psychology, etc. I'm especially interested in working on a cartoon (think Adult Swim and classics like "Ren & Stimpy") and/or graphic novel (I'm intrigued by the new release "Asterios Polyp"). Short film projects would also be a possibility.
If you are in casual dating right now...it is safer than sex (yes, try masturbation with a partner - might just be amazed).
NOPE - you CAN'T get pregnant by masturbating.
Releases lots of STRESS. Helps a lot!
Visit our community group today (www.bodyworksmich.org). Find adult style material to help members stimulate and make sure they practice masturbation. You will also find educational information, facts and myths galore, forum open discussion, chat, and so much more - all about masturbation.
We are a non profit organization - for the promotion of masturbation and the wish to break down the stereotypes associated with it.

Our group is open to men, women, or couples. Any race, any size. ANY sexual orientation. We just don't care if you straight, bi, or gay. Everyone can masturbate. Our group is VERY female friendly.

Moroccan Chicken Tagine Wednesday, December 16, 2009 at 6:30PM
Learn to cook in a traditional Clay Tagine!
We will explore a delicious Moroccan dish, discover the unique flavors and cooking style traditionally used in Northern Africa, and top it off with a superb wine pairing!
Check out what Wikipedia has to say:
Tagines in Moroccan cuisine are slow-cooked stews braised at low temperatures, resulting in tender meat with aromatic vegetables and sauce. They are traditionally cooked in the tagine pot, whose cover has a knob-like handle at its top to facilitate removal. While simmering, the cover can be lifted off without the aid of a mitten, enabling the cook to inspect the main ingredients, add vegetables, mix the contents, or add additional braising liquid.
Join us for a fun preparation, new friends and a delicious meal!
Price: $10.00

Have you heard "You can do it!" way too many times?
Have you had it with knowing that every day is a new day for a fresh start?
Well I would like to invite you to our weekly "Anti"-Support group. Here you can be assured that we will make it clear that "You are nothing and will always be nothing" or "Don't even bother, you'll just screw that up too!". Yes, the way to a new, depressed you is with our "Anti"-Support group. Or, if you would rather be more empowered , then you can be a discussion leader and rip apart others self esteem!
Every week we offer coffee ($1 a cup), and cookies (stale) for your enjoyment while we tear each other apart with such conversations as "How to know when you really, truly are a loser" and "Wow, you really are as ugly as you think" and of course that old topic of true poor self esteem "Why yes, that dress does make you look fat". Every other week we hold a special "I never wanted you anyway, you were a mistake" session for parents and children. We also have quarterly "open house" sessions where you can bring extended family and friends for our BBQ/Potluck dinners and join in the fun as we randomly pick one special victim to roast in a marathon of insults.
Non of us are qualified therapist nor do we really even care about you at all, it is mainly for our own, sadistic mentality that we hold these groups. Let's face it, what better way to make yourself feel good than to make someone else feel bad?
We try and be sure to attack everyone equally and leave you feeling depressed and suicidal, if we fail to provide all the insults or negative vibes that you crave then we will work with you until you are a quivering pile of protoplasm in a heap on the floor.
We also hold monthly corporate sessions where you can learn how to take credit for a fellow co-workers hard earned efforts and get a raise or that promotion you deserve! Wake up and smell the coffee, the only way to get ahead in life is to step on people and climb that corporate ladder with confidence!
This group is for musicians, songwriters, lyricists, bands, vocalists, DJs, sound engineers, music producers, music teachers, music students, music industry people, fans and friends. This group is for music pros, amateurs, beginners, and anyone who wants to hang out and meet some talented people in Ann Arbor.
The purpose of this group is to gather people together with the same interests (The Music Industry) for socializing, networking and collaborating.
We will have: 1. Regular meetings - so people can socialize and share knowledge, experiences, and their talents. 2. Jam sessions - kind of like open mic nights, where anyone can pick up an instrument or sing along, and join in a fun jam session. 3. Showcases - for musicians/bands who want to perform their music, or showcase their talent. 4. Social outings to see live music in and around Ann Arbor.
Check out what members are saying about Ann Arbor Musicians:
"If you're interested in meeting other musicians or people who are interested in making music in Ann Arbor, then this is the group for you!" - Tony Zink
Middle-aged white males make up the vast majority of the hunting population in the United States. My goal is to change that, as the Hunting and Fishing Club not only welcomes but encourages interested participants of all races, genders, orientations, and ethnic backgrounds to participate. Personally, I am very excited to share the rich hunting and fishing traditions that my father has instilled in me and look forward to your responses.
Please respond with your city of residence, level of hunting and/or fishing experience, and what experiences you hope to gain from the Hunting and Fishing Club.
“I read all of my Al-Anon books, attend meetings, and I have a wonderful church family, but this book presents some new thoughts to me. It’s wonderful and has proven to be of great solace. . . . as if you’ve been here in my home, observing.”

* Social opportunities - We try to have fun at whatever we do. We have around 80 projects/socials a year so we really do offer something for everyone.

We recently had a Masquerade Party & Costumed Pub Crawl for Halloween.
* Volunteer opportunities - Many people want to get involved in helping make a difference in the community, but tracking down your own opportunities to help can be daunting. We provide our members with many opportunities to get out in the community and make a difference. We're raising money to buy the Fire Department a Thermal Imager. We recently helped to create a life-sized Chutes and Ladders game to raise money for the S.O.S Community Center. We have upcoming projects collecting, & delivering food for a Thanksgiving meal to needy families, and also am helping to run a Senior Dinner for older members of our community.
