Last night I went out for dinner with some friends. On my way home, I stopped by the music studio for some midnight drumming. I picked up the guitar and bass a bit too, and recorded the whole thing. When it was done, I went over the whole mess and laid keyboards on top.
What came out isn't so much a "song," as it is a hodgepodge of improvised, atonal, off-time sounds. Still, I found it kinda interesting.

I've been single and without sex for 3 years now. It seems like all my attempts at getting a girlfriend fail. My friends say I come on too strong. But I long for a partner, and when I see something I like, I go for it.
I've come to the conclusion that all the best girls are taken.
What can I do to better my chances of getting into a relationship with a pretty girl?

Kenny,
A few things.
Coming on too strong - You're lucky. Most of the guys reading this have a problem with confidence. You do not. But understated confidence is key. When your friends say you come on too strong, what they really mean is that you're not smooth. Your mantra when approaching women should be, "don't say you're awesome -- BE awesome." Always remember that there's no bigger turn on for a woman, then when she discovers something great about you -- on her own.
All the best girls are taken - It's to your benefit to assume this. The way we succeed in life is by setting achievable goals. And you can get the woman of your dreams, but you need to break it down into a few smaller sub-goals.
Here's your first goal: The next time you meet a desirable woman, assume she's taken and get yourself a place in line. Be her friend, or even just a pleasant acquaintance. Repeat, with every great girl you meet. Then as soon as they start to become single, set bigger goals for them. You will have success.
A few months ago, some things weren't going my way and I was in a sorta bad and frustrated mood. I went into my studio one night and relieved some of the stress by writing and recording a song called, "Fuck."
I didn't want anyone to know that I was in a bad mood, so I never "released" the song, and instead quietly just posted it to my Facebook profile under the alias "Farty McPoopants."
Recently I've been receiving emails from people asking me about the song, where I found it, requesting the MP3, and more. I did a search online and even found it in a blog post entitled, "This is the greatest and best song in the world."
Flattered, and now in a good mood, I will hereby announce that Farty McPoopants is in-fact me, and that I scribed, performed, and recorded this song. Song and lyrics embedded below. And if you're in a bad mood, it should help cheer you up!
Update: For those who have asked, here is a link to the MP3 for download. But if you just want to listen to the song without downloading it, click the play button below.
I'm taking an online masters program that requires me to submit everything as a Word document, so I need to buy Microsoft Office. I can buy it through my university for $58. But for $10 more I can get the pro version.
Will I ever use the extra programs that come with the pro version?

Aley,
If you're concerned with price, use Google Docs. It's free and lets you export in Word format.
Here are examples of some expensive programs, and the free online equivalents that I sometimes use:
