This made me go through my entire sports card collection today while waiting for a call from Fredonia.

Coincidentally my mother has been on the phone all afternoon even though I told her about expecting this phone call.

Also, not getting enough sunlight is the cause to why I'm stressed out... who knew?

PS: Let's hope Chad tries the FuGu.

Who Nose?

My headphones just slid off the top of my head onto my nose, and they're still perfectly on my ears.

Self Conciousness 15 points

Self Confidence 100000000 points

More and More

It scares me.

Whomever proclaimed that the real world is scarier than anything you could possibly dream up at night, hit it perfectly.

The worst part about all this, is that nobody is going to target our military if we start another scrum with a Middle Eastern nation. We'll bomb the crap out of them and they won't even care. They'll send a wave of missiles across Europe and the Atlantic, then everyone is crapping their pants because they wanted to have a hissy fit over the idea of missile defense and they will be sucking their thumb hoping nothing hits their shitty little town so they can go on with their mostly pointless 9-5 job, gas guzzling minivan (or SUV), and retreat back to suburbia to watch Seinfeld for three straight hours and then do it all again the next day.

Unfortunately what most people don't realize is that we haven't picked a fight with a nation, we've picked a fight with a region; and with the largest religion in the world. At least that's what we keep hearing from them. "It's a holy war".

And know what? Maybe we do... maybe we do detest their way of life. The outright brutality and strictness of society with no electricity, plumbing, nor reliable education system to better it for the next generation. We'd rather backstab and just keep falling deeper and deeper into this entropy that we've created for ourselves because frankly, who gives a fuck about anyone else these days? Who knows if the greatest experiment in self-government will turn out to be a success? Who wants to make sure it is one?(NOT Hillary Clinton)

Basically it's about who is willing to step up, be the bigger man and realize that we are in a lose/lose situation with this culture.

How many of you even know that the Iraqi Insurgents (freedom fighters to some) have offered a ceasefire agreement to the U.S. government?

But we don't negotiate with terrorists even though we're technically the reason for the escalation in violence. Granted, living under Saddam was no treat, but Iraq is looking at a major exodus, pretty soon Iraq will just be one urban/rubble battlefield. Nobody left in the country except those that are there to fight and to kill no matter who it is they take with them.
To kill themselves in the name of the same God Jews and Christians pray to. Why? To feel that they've died for something worthwhile in hopes that in this some mystically promised afterlife they'll be rewarded for their blind faith even as so far as to take the lives of their fellow countrymen, women, and children. The ones that just want to get to the nearest square to buy food. They deserve to die, so you can feel that you've accomplished something that will be rewarded.

I still can't figure out what makes people think: death can be glorified.? Dieing in a gutter begging for change is the same as dieing at the hands of a mass murderer, death squad, prison warden, at a hospital, on the battlefield, or marching into a shopping center and blowing away consumers, or strolling up to a bus with a block of C4 packed up your ass. It's the same. You're a coward.

You Know It's Bad When...

Feb 20, 2007

Cannon Fire

Isn't there just a time when enough is enough and that something has to dramatically change.

Or you just go into a state of melancholy and the consequences of those inactions finally start mounting and something has to dramatically change...

But once you realize that it's time for a change it's usually too late to remedy your sorry ass and undertaking new goals and leaving your old ones behind to rot are not the only results of your laziness.

Throwing people out along with those goals, the detachment from friends and family, the reluctance to let anyone else see, hear or think what your next step is.

Because your life has just been so full of everyone telling you what you should see, hear and think your next steps should be that you finally think you can shove it all back in their face. Unfortunately your methods of counterinsurgency are more damaging to you than they are the people around you.

You find that nobody expected anything else but your failure and your inability to cope with the forces around you. The danger of responsibility was just too much for you and they knew that from the start. God forbid you spineless fucks do anything to help develop that kind of character in your son, nephew, grandson. Instead you'll sit back enjoy the enormous fuck-up from the comfort of your armchair and then you'll be able to point a finger, after the fact.

So in the time it takes to callous over and realize what's needed to succeed and excel in life, it's too late for you. Your doors of opportunity have slammed shut, the people around you aren't going to give you that chance because you accidentally broke a promise, lied because you were so scared of the consequences over something so frivolous, or lost countless nights of sleep because you regretted them all and could only daydream about what could've and what should've been.

So now the doors are shut, you can knock scream and kick all you want but nobody's going to budge from that armchair.


After so long you realize there's only one logical and reasonable conclusion left.

Hit the Fan

Aaron Dansie was inside a Salt Lake City shopping mall when 18-year old Sulejmen Talovic entered the building, pulled a gun and started shooting people at random. As he took shelter inside one of the shops on the first floor, Dansie pulled out his video camera.

“What the… What the hell's going on?” Dansie can be heard saying on the video, in between a barrage of loud gunshots. Dansie, a wedding videographer, said that turning his video camera on was not the first thing on his mind. But his actions led to an intense visual record of the tragic events that happened inside the downtown Trolley Square mall during some of its worst moments.

“I heard [a victim] yelling, ‘Stop, stop, please don't shoot… don't shoot.’ And then heard more shots,” he said. Dansie actually made his way out into the hallway before he started recording, but when he heard gunshots in a shop next door, he ran back.

“When I finally walked past the camera and saw it… I thought, ‘I gotta start filming this,” Dansie said. Startled and panicked, Dansie loaded a tape into his camcorder and got into position – partly hunkered down in the store. Moments later, he says a uniformed Salt Lake City Police officer walked in with his gun drawn. Then, an off-duty police officer, Kenneth Hammond, can be heard identifying himself outside. Dansie, however, wasn't going anywhere.

Seconds later on the tape, Hammond joins the officers to search for the gunman. Then, as both officers see Talovic, Hammond turned and ran for cover. For the next several seconds, shotgun blasts and gunfire from police officers can be heard outside -- followed by silence. Talovic, the gunman, was dead – shot by officers.

In all, the tragedy lasted just six minutes.




This is why I value my 2nd amendment rights. Because buttheads like this get to thinking lighting up a shopping center is a good idea.

And I'd like to be armed with something to defend myself with, not a video camera.

Hillary Rodham Clinton


I'm sorry, but this might be a shot from the hip to some of you people.

But to me it makes perfect sense.

How do you just keep fucking up America? By not being informed.

I work at a place where all I do is call and ask for political opinion and who people think they will be voting for in the next upcoming elections and the issues they think are plaguing the USA the most.
Every time someone answers that they vote for the person and no the party, I thank them for being the saviors of democracy.

You dumbasses who just hit up the voting booth to punch Democrat or Republican are the downfall to the greatest experiment of self government and democracy in history. This is how rich multi-billionaires who are so scared of change get elected to a majority and flush this country's reputation, international and self respect right down the toilet.

But there is one thing worse than that. Scary huh?

And it has a name, Hillary Clinton.

I'm not one for personal attacks on politicians, but here I make a well deserved exception.

She's done nothing with the years she's been in office for New York State. Education has gotten worse, jobs have been in exodus, the cost of living has been steadily increasing for upstate (oh hey, I live here people) and health-care has been beaten to death.
PLEASE WATCH THAT VIDEO OR AT LEAST JUST LISTEN TO IT.

Now, she's going to run for President of the United States of America.

I cannot believe that someone as lame and useless as Hillary Clinton could manage to swing a nomination from the Democrats. Basically throwing away yet another Presidential Election to the GOP.

I'm sorry but she's signed off and voted for just about every measure that the Bush administration has proposed before Congress and NOW SHE CRITICIZES THEM for their policies and their ambitions. Talk about being an ignorant part of the problem Mrs. Clinton.

So she's running for office, and it's complete and utter morons who want to skinny out and just make decisions out of ignorance, laziness, and/or stupidity that are going to sink this country. Take a look.

You're going to nominate a mindless drone that is going to do whatever her party/other politicians pressure her into just because she's a woman. I think that is gender discrimination, don't you?

Great. I think I'd want another 4 out of W than to have Hillary in the Oval Office.

Can I Really Really Celebrate?

My Motivation Every Time I Get Down:


So the complexity of the world wains on the shoulders of you? Good luck holding that and yourself up. I've learned long ago that change is made at the"you" level. If you don't like where it's all going, you need to make a change in the direction! Live for your future, I know from personal experience.. IT's WORTH IT!

Is everything in world perfect? Nope. Do the most talented people get the recording contracts? Nope. To live your life preoccupied with this crap will end up driving you crazy, kill your dreams or worse. Is the world Insane? Yep! Can you make a difference? When it comes to your life in this world.. yes, you can. Is it easy? What is easy can never truly satisfy a sane person. Coming of age is painful! The world interjects all it's fury into a mind that is absorbing and processing information at nano speed. No wonder people (you too!) are at peace with themselves when they take late night walks or retreat to the deep forests with their thoughts (OK sometime we take a rifle too). The world is like a ride at Disney going round and round. Every now and then we need to step off or we are going to barf! However, once we regain our equilibrium we get right back on. Why, because...well I guess it's a personal thing. I get back on because I enjoy the thrill of it all. Feeling sensations and meeting people that make the ride worth it. But absolutely must learn to balance our ride time!

Balance is the toughest skill any human being can hope to master. Know balance and easily conquer your demons (also prevent uncontrollable barfing!).

Friends? Ha! I've never had better friends than my parents. They accept me with all the errors I made in life and all my personal hang ups. Try listening to them once in awhile. Amazing! All they really want is to see is their children happy, well rounded individuals (they tend to worry for us too ). However, their wish is really up to is the child fulfill. I never realized this myself until it was almost too late. I almost gave up on me, ripped between love, doing the right thing, making a difficult decision. I made a difficult decision...To let my one and only son grow up for the first dozen or so years of his life not knowing me. Was it the right decision? I still don't know. But I do know that his mother raised him to be a fine man. I'm very proud of him and find myself in admiration of his spirit, intelligence, world views, and talent. I feel pain when he does and don't want to see him faced with the difficult decisions I had to make. On the contrary, I wish for him to be a better man, which at times I think he already is, and to live his dream.

Valentines Day! HA! Another revenue enhancement to the Corporate America bottom line... another Hallmark moment (sigh)! Yea, wake up! Why take one day in particular to tell someone how you feel about them? Profoundly stupid and doesn't conform to the true meaning of love. Love truly is an everyday endeavor that gives and takes from your heart and soul. Let's pick a special day! Bull crap! It's everyday! _____ has taught me that. I don't understand why she loves me the way she does, but I'm not going to stand around trying to figure it out. Why analyze love when it arrives? Seems we are always searching for it and then we want to dissect it once we find it? No way. Give a breath today to say how much I love her, that's all I ask for. I leave the rest to my heart and soul.

Think you can rant..eh? Well you may have met your match today. I also spent too spent many sleepless nights wondering if I will ever be something? Will someone love me? It took 33 years to find the love of my life! Oh yea, squeeze in a half dozen ugly relationships and a divorce before that!. To think I lost all that sleep... damn!


No scripts in life, just a steady drum beat that requires the accompaniment of your part (Bass lines please). No one else is going to be there for you if you don't lay down positive vibes (or good bass lines for that matter). Radiate you and all your about. Some will try to take it all away, some will laugh, some will try to feed off you, some will use you, some will never get it. All the pain of the journey is worth it when you finally arrive...which will take time. Please prepare yourself for the ride with a good education and keep you hands and feet inside the ride (hang on!)

Finally.....

I think you need to deal with the no sleep problem. No human being can achieve or live to their potential without sleep. Those who do live a torturous and lonely life. As your father, I do not want that for you (see second above).

My additional "Random Rants"

Dirty laundry. Geez! just wash everything in cold with Cheer.

Try a smile to a beautiful woman (even if you think she is way out of your league). Life is about pushing limits of you mind and spirit. Warning! This cannot be done if their is no balance.

Be a person with a solid foundation! Others will recognize confidence and want to be a part of you and your world.

Cant really celebrate? Try again! I celebrate everyday for you, me and the many who only wish they could understand what we are saying.

Remember, "The future is X rated" and I don't plan on missing a minute of a good porn.

The light on the balcony is hope. It always there and always on for you. If you don't think so, call me next time you can't sleep. After all, I only want to see you happy, successful, and let you know that someone always will accept you for you.

"How you breathe in, and you breath out....it makes you a weapon....never turn you back on it again"

Antsy

I'm losing sleep again, having a bunch of trouble concentrating on anything really.

All I can keep thinking about is what's going to happen next.
It's been over a month and I haven't heard a damn thing from Fredonia. I'm scared shitless and what it could mean (or what it doesn't mean?).

Here's to waiting impatiently, worrying incessantly, and doubting it's worth anything.

Crud

Anna Nicole Smith went to the OD pile today in the midst of needing to get a paternity test for her newborn daughter and just a couple months after the mysterious death of her son.

Just a few months after her older son mysteriously died...

You'd think that all this would be a huge tragedy....

But the biggest one of all is that now, I have to find new porn to watch that way I don't feel guilty.

Any ideas?


Erin?

Oh well, I'll be flying my zipper at half mast tomorrow to show my respects.

What A Joke

Someone is now trying to bring legislation to the State Senate of New York to ban people from wearing headphones while crossing the street because it "hinders responsiveness". Know what, pretty soon we're also going to make everyone wear nothing but white long sleeve shirts and black pants because we don't want anyone to look at what your shirt says because they might cause a car accident.

How about this:

TAKE DOWN ALL THE FUCKING BILLBOARDS THAT LITTER EVERY BUILDING AND HIGHWAY FOR MILES!

But that'd hurt the economy blah blah blah blow it out your ass. How would they even enforce something as ridiculous as banning people from wearing headphones??

You know who's going to be the real winner out of all of this? Everyone who sat there and voted for Hillary Clinton just because she's a woman and sat by her husband's side when he porked a damn ugly intern.

"She's got character" "She can get the job done" "She knows what it takes"

She's done absolutely nothing to help the New York to get out of the $3 Billion debt it has. Her re-election campaign started and ended with ONE commercial explaining how she fought and got relief for the N.Y.S. Firefighters...

well that's great; but after all the relief and donations they received from countless 9/11 funds I'm really not that stupid as to attribute that money with your efforts. For the over 19 million of us that aren't fire fighters you've done just as much as a pastrami sandwich.

Actually less, I'm still hungry and I'm pretty sure she's behind this retarded plot.

Fuck You Too

So for every idiot that thinks that the Foo Fighters are better than Jimmy Hendrix...
please just do yourselves a favor and don't ever talk to me again.

How do you kids disregard the past like this? Do you not listen to Led Zepplin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Pink Floyd, Rush, Styx, The Doors, The Beatles, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Queen, The Ramones at least!!!! Fuck I'd even let U2 slip at this point!

You're the reason why Muslims want to blow up buildings and declare our civilization as the works of the devil himself.
Yes, it means this much to me, I'm comparing your stupidity towards something as radical as music history and society as a whole.

It's great how ignorance towards something so simple is JUST THE SAME as ignorance towards an entire culture that is being labeled as evil and as unjust and a threat to our way of life even though they can't even work their way out of the fucking stone age.

Is it that hard to understand that everything that's here today came from back then?? Jimmy Hendrix was a martyr of music and guitar playing when nobody else ever thought of doing things that way.

But let's throw innovation by the wayside and just sit around believing the same thing everyone else does and reduce ourselves to living in houses made out of dirt. Then we'll plaster some guy to a crucifix because he thinks differently than us. Then thousands of years later we'll start killing our neighbors and distant relatives because they interpret the same religious artifacts in a different manner...

FUCK, something so simple like THAT spirals and turns into so big as costing 3000+ civilians their lives on a regular September day and leads to a god forsaken war that's claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and only about 5000 of them are soldiers of war. Yeah, so I'm looking at you and your opinion the same way; because if you're too stupid/lazy to read up on how to avoid a rediculous and unneeded introverted confrontation, you deserve exactly what you're getting.

There's a damn good reason why stagnant pond water is such a breeding pool for disease and famine.... and stupidity.

So the Super Bowl post was #500



sorry, that's 500 shitty posts that you've been subjected to... you're doing it to yourself; i swear.

Oh, also, apparently it's insulting to ask your stepfather to carry a shitty old monitor up the stairs for you while you have your hands full. God forbid at 12 second helping hand and a thank you. Rather have a 10 minute fight about how dare I ask him something like that and how I'm an ungreatful bastard....
he's only half-right.

Super Bowl XLI


So by now everyone knows who won the Super Bowl, but do you also know I predicted the Colts to win it in August? Why I didn't put actual money on it I'm not sure (oh yeah, because I am one broke ass college student).

But anyways it would've been really nice and a great display of showmanship if they gave the Bears their proper due. The MVP of the game wasn't really Peyton Manning; it was Rex Grossman. I mean he only coughed the ball up twice in the most critical part of the game... Hester even spotted his team 7 free points to start the game!!! But no, all that Rex could muster was 165 yards, a touchdown, two interceptions and two fumbles.

Looking at it, c'mon, how do you disagree?!? He was the Colts' best player on the field!!!!

Nights Past

I remember when you'd wait downstairs for me and we'd go for a walk and smoke cigarettes and find hiding spots and just sit and talk about nothing of consequence and then we'd go back to your room and you'd make hot chocolate. Wow did I love that. We'd lay down in bed and still just talk and you'd put on music and looking back it was so Utopian compared to what happens now. I remember when you just randomly started checking zippers on all of your clothes and mine to see if all the zippers on them were made by the same company. You were random like that. I remember when you'd have a music track that was nothing but a rainstorm, I thought it was odd at the time; but then again you had a whole playlist dedicated to nothing but rain. And then you shunned me for questioning it and put that quiet little rainstorm on repeat, cuddled up close to me, put your head on my shoulder and wrapped your arm across my chest and just fell asleep in my arms...

That will forever be the best night of my life.
