PAY ATTENTION [03 Jul 2009|04:37pm] The "Space Race" was a pretty face for the arms race. The rockets used for the original space missions were modified ICBMs with a human payload instead of a nuclear one. The reason why Sputnik was such a big deal was not that the Russians put a ball in space that could ping a signal back to Earth, it was that the Russians had proven the ability to take out a country on the other side of the world first. All an ICBM does is go into space. It's gravity that does the rest. Nuclear missiles don't blast toward their target like a normal missile. They shoot into space, seperate (just like all the footage of the Apollo launches) and the payload is pulled by Earth's gravitational field toward its target. The Russians sending Sputnik into space was really just saying "That could have been The Bomb, comrade". That's why all the emphasis was put into retrieving the capsules, because they were working on targeting systems that could set the returning space capsule on a specified mark on the Earth, or do the same with a nuclear payload. The best part is that it was a two-for-one because the CIA admitted to using NASA as cover for launching spy satellites. When they were shooting donkey, and monkeys, and gold fish into space? Little BoBo's capsule was sitting on a spy satellite payload, which is why they couldn't get the animals back. The whole satellite would have had to come back as well. The Space Race, double-duty for the cold war! post comment

Hello [05 Apr 2009|03:08pm] It's been forever since I've posted here, it's not like anyone reads this anyways. I'm a racist. I don't really care, don't give a shit about you. I don't like Indians, like Gandhi Indians. Can't stand them. Loud, opinionated, fascist, religious pieces of shit that are starving and won't even eat cows. I can't stand Israelis, at all. Zionist, terrorist, arrogant, hypocritical pieces of shit. This isn't really about race or colour, it's about culture. It's easier to say it's about race because most people are too stupid to understand a difference. I'm a pretty damn intolerant person. I have no patients for people's absolute stupidity. When I come to power, I shall cut off Israel completely from any US funding. They've had long enough to stand on their own feet and stop being a welfare nation of bullies. Let them fend for themselves against all the people they pick on and terrorize. I'd pull out of the UN, the G20, all those other things and tell the world as a whole to fuck off. Then I'd sit down with our two oldest allies, France and Japan, and try to mend relations. I'd tell Japan to do whatever they want with their army, and we'd provide as much help as they want. I'd stop sending money to all these other countries like those in Africa and Asia and let them fix themselves. I'd just stop spending the money and stop taxing people for it. I'd go ahead and tax churches full-force. They'd no longer qualify as non-profit. Then, with the money that brings in, I'd cut that much out of taxes individuals pay. I'd probably cut out a few more categories of non-profits like lobby groups, PACs and shit like that. And, again, cut that amount of taxes out of individuals. I'd cut out taxation on anyone under 24, and over 60. All companies would be flat-taxed on profits only with decreasing deductions based on age, size and income of the company to encourage smaller businesses to start and be able to succeed into bigger businesses if they choose, or give them time to stabilize as a small business. Taxation on investments would be greatly decreased if not eliminated completely. I'd go ahead and completely dissolve the DEA because I'd legalize all drugs. I'd also get rid of government sponsored addiction treatment. People need some fucking accountability. After cutting out the unnecessary stuff in the government, I'd take the surplus and refund everyone's Social Security back to them, then cancel it. People need to be able to invest this money themselves in their homes, their own portfolios or whatever. And, since I've removed all taxes on investments, it allows people to secure their futures with more breathing room. I'd say people could also not be taxed on that same amount of income that used to be put into SSI, as long as it was invested. I'd hate to do it, as I am a big supporter of state's rights, but I hate the police more. So I'd withhold state money until they reigned in their police forces. I'd probably use the FBI and sit an agent in every police department to monitor the pigs, and give them the authority to shoot on sight. You know there are a lot of places in the world that don't have police, and the people just police themselves. I think that would be a great help to most people and communities. Communities can be allowed to live and die by their people. post comment

It's been a good long while... [20 May 2008|04:48pm] It's been a long time since I actually had anything to write about, and here I am with a whole lot of news. We'll start with the bad, and end with the good. I always preferred it that way, to be honest. The bitter: I have a very dear pair of friends, Ed and Lynn, that have become my grandparents. They just decided to adopt me one day, and I'm more than glad they did. Ed is the grandfather I never had growing up. He's really the male figure I never had growing up. Ed is, or has been, a certified nurse, worked at the prison in Huntsville, a deputy sheriff, done marine salvage, a fisher and a crabber, a race car driver, race track crew, a birder, and many other things. He is the most honest man I've really ever met and is the kind of guy I hope I grow up to be. Lynn is, or has been, many of the same and has been married to Ed for almost forty years. The two of them are truly each other's best friends, and have easily become two of my best friends. They've just both turned sixty and are starting to show a little of their age and a hard, honest, life. Lynn went in for an ileostomy because she was misdiagnosed by a really stupid doctor. There is no guarantee that she could have avoided this, but at best it may have held it off for a while longer. She gave us all a scare after the second surgery to fix the rest of it a few days after her original one, when she stopped breathing from not fully metabolising the anesthetic. She had to be tubed and said it was the scariest thing she's ever been through in her life. Knowing just some of what Lynn has been through, it really means something. She seems to be better now, and should go home from the hospital in a day or two. She's been in there over two, almost three weeks, so I think it's time enough as she's going absolutely crazy. I was truly scared to death that I was going to lose her, and was having a hard time figuring out what I would do if I did. Ed's been taking it in stride, but I can tell it's tearing him up. He really is the personification of the strong, silent, type. Ed actually got emotional a couple of times and that's when I really got scared. She seems to be out of the woods for the time being and we'll just have to wait and see. The sweet is that I've met a girl. When I say that, I should re-iterate I really think met the girl. Her name is Ann and I am absolutely head-over-heels for her. Per both our decision we are taking it very slowly as there seems to be a whole lot of danger, danger, high voltage between the two of us and it scares us. We don't want to burn this thing out too soon. We went out for our first real date on Saturday, though we'd been talking for a few days before that. To tell you how nuts I am over her, I got my first kiss from her yesterday and it made me blush from head to toe. Speaking of toes, it made those curl just a little bit, too. I've been doing a lot of thinking about myself and relationships and I realised I'd ever dated anyone I liked. In fact, there have been a few I almost hated, and all of them I resented from day one. They were all situations where I just feel into them by fucking the person and wound up hanging around. I resented the fact that I was that slutty, and I resented the fact that they were that slutty. Relationships built on resentful sex just can't become anything other than what they are. And this, as the British say, is quite the other thing. I'm at a point in my life where it's time to get serious, and the right person just happened to come along. I can't guarantee that she's Mrs. Right, but I can tell you that I really rather fancy her. The whole thing is just so comfortable, and feels so right, it's really hard to describe. I couldn't have told myself about this, or even tried to understand it before I met her. I have always been so adverse to the idea of marriage, kids, Liberals, never would have thought these things would be anything I was interested in. I used to think marriage was a punishment for stupidity. Keep them together and made them easier to track. Now, though... I honest think about coming home to her, what it would be like to have kids of my own. What would it be like to be a real adult? I can tell you this. In my head, she's the person I think I want to come home to every day. I really think I would like to even have kids with her. She loves guns, but she also thinks Welfare is a good idea; and coming from her, I can see her point about it. I'm definitely more conservative on a lot of things than her, and it doesn't matter. We just discuss things and the parts we differ on are just things we differ on. I don't worry about trying to change her, or think she's wrong. She's absolutely wonderful to have conversations with, and I even like to watch her shows. Anyone who knows me can tell you that I am one of the most intolerant people around. I really don't much care for just about anyone and can barely find it within myself to even tolerate any given person. On a good day, I can go without screaming and swearing and threatening to kill someone. I might even refrain from giving the finger. When I'm around her, though... none of it seems to matter. I really am content, truly and wholly content around her. I don't idolise her, I don't try to turn her into an ideal or a non-person. I'm really eager to find out the next thing about her, to spend just a little more time getting to know her. I'm calm and complete with her. I really should be the last person to speak about love, but if this is what being in love is like, then I'll definitely take it. The faults she has don't bother me in the slightest. I like her the way she is, and will take her completely and without hesitation. It's not easy, but we're really just being ourselves around each other. I won't say that's entirely true, to think about it. I think I'm a better person around her. It's not that I don't still think that things like, say, welfare are bad idea. I just don't need to try and convince her about it. I find my self saying, "you think so?" more around her and really wanting to know more about her thoughts and motivations. In the end, I don't know where this will go, but I really hope it goes all the way. I think I want to marry her. post comment

Honkey, please! [22 Apr 2008|06:39pm] White people aren't funny because when they do something stupid, it's a tragedy. Look at that woman who drowned her kids here in Texas, people were pissed and it was a huge tragedy. If a black woman did that, they would hold her to a socially lower standard and chalk it up to, "well, you know she was black, and you know how they are". Blacks really are held to a lower standard. A bunch of white kids beat up a black kid, it HAS to be racially motivated, not just that a dumb ass happened to be black. The white kids are immediately deamonised and the only people sticking up for them are the skinheads and racist white power structure. Now, a bunch of black kids beat up a white kid and there is no way it's racially motivated and every black person and their mother jumps on board to defend the offenders. We, as whites, did this to them. It's not that blacks are dumber or have less opportunities, or are in any other way handled as less than. No, racists got clever and figured out that in order to really control a group, you give them just enough rope to hang themselves. The Welfare system in 1964 to specifically favour blacks. What this did was give an oppressed group who had basically had the fight taken out of them, just enough to sit around and not have to do anything to just eek out a living. People, being animals, will tend to take the path of least resistance. That's why it really can be so difficult to get off welfare. You get another job to put that money toward college, and you're off welfare and now possibly making less than you were while you were on the dole. School is just expensive enough to be prohibitive, and the corporate power structure is arranged in such a way that if you show up in what might be your best clothes, but they're shoddy, you won't get the job. There is just enough gap between welfare and not on welfare that it really becomes a very serious leap to try and achieve it. It's really quite easy for blacks to get back on it, though, so eventually you quit trying and just accept your minimal fate. There are weird things about stereotypes that kind of keep white people from being funny. Sure, we're shown as being all stuffy and "un-cool". The white guy comes on the scene in a black sitcom and he's the one that isn't funny. So at the end of the day, the stereotypical cracker comes on the scene and says a few stiff things, and then does what? He drives off in his BMW to his Ikea condo and makes $70,000 a year. Wow... So he's got a comfortable living, drives a car most people envy, probably has a wife who loves him, and... it's just not that funny. It's actually a pretty good trade-off. At least we're told it is, and have been lead to believe it is because white folk run everything and say what's funny and what isn't. That's like the stereotype of black people all singing and dancing and being poor. I'm pretty sure the stigma against being poor isn't so much a socio-economical thing, as capitalism has no problem with poor people, it's the socialists that hate them. It's mostly just to further divide the white, Christian, power structure from the dirty poor Buddhists who think poverty is somehow noble. I don't get either argument, to be perfectly honest. I don't see anything noble about being poor anymore than I see anything noble about being rich. If someone has worked an honest day and laboured for the pay he receives, then the money he has is noble no matter how much or little it is. If a person is rich through no effort of their own, or at the cost of others, that's actually just as scuzzy as the person who is poor because they refuse to work or put forth any effort. The person who suffers and gets off Welfare and succeeds in life is more a hero to me than the person who doesn't. The other argument is we have to think about the children. Here's a question. Why would someone on Welfare have a child while they are on Welfare. A really simple first step for reforming Welfare is refuse to pay any extra for children a person or couple has after the were admitted into the system. Boy, wouldn't that piss people off for no reason. I have a bit of a confession to make right now, I'm a bit of an extremist. I don't believe that having children is a right that should be subsidised in the same way that I don't really feel sorry for anyone with AIDS. If anyone reads this, they're sure to give me some hateful messages now. Let me qualify the AIDS statement first as it's the most inflammatory. I absolutely know there are some people who currently have AIDS through no fault of their own. Ryan White was a great example because he got it through a blood transfusion. It has happened, and continues to happen. Just as Bayer why their hemophilia medication isn't allowed to be sold in the US anymore. The vast, and I mean vast, majority, however, got it because they wanted it. AIDS is, 99% of the time (fake statistic) preventable by strapping on a latex, vinyl, or sheepskin condom. People don't think to use protection, however, and get in trouble. If a person is so governed by their hormones that they cannot stop themselves from fucking without a condom, then they're the basest of animals and should be treated accordingly. Again, if anyone reads this, I want you to go find someone with AIDS and ask them how they got it. I'm serious, if you want to flame me then you have to prove me wrong. This is from the FDA, by the way: "About two-thirds of the people with AIDS in the United States got the disease during sexual intercourse with an infected partner. Experts believe that many of these people could have avoided the disease by using condoms." - http://www.fda.gov/oashi/aids/condom.html This doesn't make mention of the percentage that got it from swapping needles and other risky behaviours. It may also not take account for oral sex and other activities. This having all been said, I feel the same way for people that continue to have children while they are on Welfare. If a person has already established that they cannot provide for their basic needs of food and housing for themselves, and expect everyone else to help them out no matter if it is a "legitimate" need or not, they are entering into a social contract so far as I consider. The expectation is that they are going to slim down their lives, make sacrifices, and get off the system so they can get on their feet again. If they have a child, however, that is saying they have no intent of becoming fiscally responsible and are going to settle in for a long stay. It's the same as person coming over to crash on your couch for a while because they're having a rough go and need some help, then bring their girlfriend in to live with you too. I do not advocate steralisation or any of those insane suggestions people have had for Welfare. I simply think if there is going to be the evil of a Welfare system, it should be treated like your couch. Someone who gets on Welfare is accepted based on the terms they walked in with, when they change it to somehow benefit themselves, they are altering the agreement to the detriment of the providers. The simple solution is refuse any additional benefits no matter the change of situation. If they get married and the spouse decides they want to be on Welfare as well, the whole package is denied. Really for no other reason than they just spent a few hundred bucks on something that is completely capricious and could have waited until their lives were back on track. The money could have been spent on food, electricity, or getting a damn job. As for the defense that some people are legitimately on Welfare because they absolutely cannot find work, that's bullshit. Anyone who claims they cannot find work is simply not looking hard enough. Work is not supposed to be glamorous. If a person lives in, say, Flynt, Michigan and claims they have no options because GM pulled out and took all the jobs with them, that person should go where the jobs are. People complain so much about illegal immigrants taking all the jobs, but I don't see too many people willing to go work as a line cook, a dish washer, a lettuce picker, a day labourer, car washer, house keeper, gardener, or any of the other myriad jobs we think are so demeaning but expect another human being to do to keep our cost of living down. A very simple fix to the whole situation is to repeal both Welfare and the Minimum Wage. People on Welfare would have a hard time getting a job picking strawberries because they're legal citizens and are "entitled" to complain about "unfair" wages. A farm owner would rather employ an illegal who is in less of a position to complain due to fear of legal reprisal. The added benefit is that you remove the need for the tax burden on people from paying for Welfare and all the buildings, people, and other costs that come with managing it, but you also remove the same burden from all the people who regulate Minimum Wage. You pass those savings back onto the tax payer and suddenly you have more money being spent by average people on the kinds of things that really stimulate the economy instead of stagnate it. While we've wandered over here, I might as well list all the things I'd squash on a Federal level to save people money, plus some possible solutions: - Welfare - Force the churches to take up the slack or lose their non-profit standing. - Minimum Wage - This would just put more Americans to work and take the burden off of border patrol, police, State Department, schools... It would help ensure that the money being spent on schools and healthcare was being offset by keeping the money earned in this country and not another. I should also mention that I really have no problem with illegal aliens as I like not spending $12 on lettuce. - Medicare and Medicade, provide dollar-for-dollar write offs on every bit of pro-bono treatment a doctor, not a hospital, provides. I'd consider hospitals as well, but it's hard to make sure an already greedy and corrupt group wouldn't find a way to exploit it like the huge conglomerates have with farm welfare. - Stop subsidising the Post Office - The Federal Government should be allowed to claim ownership of shares in the Post Office, and thus should sell their shares off to anyone that is willing to buy. Since the Post Office uses so much of FedEx's infrastructure anyways, I think it would be a good marrage. - Stop bailing out Amtrak - It is a company and as such should stand on its own feet or get privatised since it is not a real Governmental necessity. If the Government was so gung-ho behind Amtrak, I would have ridden a train to Great Lakes naval training base instead of an airplane. I do like rail travel and, to be honest, prefer it. I would be sad if rail travel disappeared, but I do think private companies would be more innovative and that the government subsidy is stagnating the whole thing. - Stop all corporate bail-outs - I have a very dear friend, shit... he's family, who had a comic and gaming shop. He just had to close it down because he honestly sucked at running the business. There is no way to get the Federal Government to bail him out and keep him going on corporate welfare. While the SBA isn't exactly welfare, I don't think the Government should be giving out loans. This would force companies to run leaner and meaner and keep their fiscal houses in order. Farmers get Welfare to help when crops aren't growing well. I guess it was a good thing, I mean it was well meaning for sure. The problem is show me why ConAgra should get the same kind of welfare to help themselves out. This is a huge corporation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ConAgra_brands) that gets money from the government to do their job. When you go to work, does the Gov give you funds-matching on your paycheck? Banks get these bail-outs when they've fucked up so hard they're about to go out of business. Not all banks had a problem from this sub-prime garbage. Those that were smart enough to live through this should be allowed to buy out the assets of the failing banks just like any business can go buy out another failing company. How much money would this put back into your pocket every year? The Military has become another source of welfare. If you can't do something, if you're not smart or ambitious enough to get a real job, you just go enlist and get money. I'm not about to say I don't love the fact that we have a military, I do question the standing military thing, but I do support our troops. I'm not going to suck their cocks, though, and say that every enlisted person has a right to a job on my dime. When this kind of personal welfare is extended it increases the buying power of someone with no right to it and encourages more like vicious snowball. The other part of these bail-outs is that you can go right now and buy a piece of property. If half of your land is devoted to agriculture, you get a check from the government. Go buy yourself an acre or so, and put pine trees on half. That should get you enough to more than pay for your property tax, and in some areas may help with your mortgage payment. We bitch about people milking the government, and they are assholes. The problem is there are a lot more who have figured out how to milk the government legally. I'm pretty sure if you played your cards right, you could cut your cost of living in half just based on government money. It sounds great, and maybe it would be if you were getting dollar-for-dollar return. But for every buck you spend in taxes, to get it back would probably cut it down to a dime you'd receive. Wouldn't it just be better to put that money back in your pocket and save yourself ninety cents? - Scale back the military - This is addressed by more than one on the list, but I think it needs its own mention. Why are we still providing military to Japan? Why do we still have bases in Germany? I'm not a racist so I don't think the second you let your finger off of them, they're going to try and take over the world. To be fair, Japan never tried that, just Germany did, and just a minority of Germans. But I'm painting with a broad brush for the sake of my not having to type a whole shit-load more than I already am, so bear with me... I really think we should sit down and speak with the countries we have bases in and ask them if they would like us to continue doing so. If they want us to, then the caveat is that they get to put a base on our country. I don't mean in Puerto Rico, I don't mean in the Virgin Islands or Alaska either. I mean a base on mainland U S of A. Let's put France's base in California or something, let them enjoy their stay the same way our troops enjoy being in these other wonderful countries. If they don't want us, we pull out. If we stay, they troops also have to be subject to local law so mother fuckers who rape little girls in Japan can't go hide on their base. I also firmly believe that the size of our military is what perpetuates its self. If you don't know why Osama hates us, go look up the Soviet Afghan War (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_war_in_Afghanistan#Consequences_of_the_war). I won't go into history here, this is a rant about the present and future, but I felt it helped illustrate a point. The less we bother other countries and people the less of a military we will need. We need to stop funding other countries, creating disparities between nations and save the money to make ourselves able to prosper even further. Back out, pull in the reigns, and put our resources toward more effective things. I ran out of steam here, so I'll just go ahead and end this post. Make a comment, if anyone actually looks at this. post comment

I haven't done one of those Friday Fives in a while... [06 Apr 2008|07:02pm] I've been lazy with the blogging, but here's one that caught my eye... If you became ruler of the world, what three things would you do first? I'd outlaw religion until I felt people could handle it. I would strip the governments of all the land they own that's not used for just having an essential office on. I would disallow any form of welfare, social security, whatever. If you were a superhero, what would be your name and what powers would you have? My superhero name would be The Shadow, and I would have the power of mind control. You can ask one question to someone who knows EVERYTHING. What is it? "Dude, seriously. What the fuck?" If you were invisible for a day, what would you do? I rob and steal from every bank and Wal-Mart I could find. And probably masturbate in public. If you saw a mythical/religious deity walking down the street, what would you do? Kill it before it corrupted anyone else. Unless it was Eris, more people should be corrupted by her. 1. Did you vote in your most recent applicable election? (If you're not yet old enough, do you plan to vote in the future?) I don't vote. 2. Have you ever protested or attended a march? I hung out with a bunch of Larouche[sp] wierdos once, just to say I did it. 3. What political issue is the most important to you? Smaller... WAY smaller government. 4.

BB isn't newborn, but I do make up lots of songs about him and sing them to him around the house. 2. How do you think animals think? (i.e. in animal language, human language, etc.) I believe dogs have the purest and most practical mode of thought and we can barely comprehend how it works. 3. As a child, did you have a dream to make a difference in the world? Can you describe your dream? I wanted to be a race-car driving, lounge-singing, professional chef. So I guess not. 4. Do you believe in God/a Higher Being? Absolutely not. But I do believe in Andre the Giant, he was pretty powerful. 5. Do you believe in aliens? Sure, I live close enough to the Mexican border that they're everywhere. Name five... 1. ... things you can't live without. My dog, my freedom, my... That's about it, really. I'll add human companionship if it's not too pussy. 2. ... of the best moments in your life. Getting BB, Meeting Kyle, realising my family is fucking crazy and it's not my fault, realising the fact that I'm crazy is, waking up this morning to a beautiful day. 3. ... celebrities you can't stand. This would be a much longer list since I really cannot stand celebrities in general, but off the top of my head I would include Rosie O'Donnel, Oprah, Glen Beck, Sean Austin, Cindy Sheehan. 4. ... books you enjoy(ed) reading. "Department of Defense Handbook, Guide to Container Inspection for Commercial and Military Intermodal Containers", "The Tao of Pooh", "Kitchen Confidential", "Tourist Season", "Practical Home Made Explosives" 5. ... items in your purse/backpack/on your desk.

Set everyone free. 2. If you could be any character from a book, movie, or television show, who would you be? Why? Nobody, I wouldn't be me. 3. If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be? People's dependence on everyone and everything else. 4. If you could make out with one person of the same sex, who would it be? I please the fifth. 5. If you could make out with one person of the opposite sex, who would it be? I plead the fifth. post comment

FUCK PETA, FUCK VETS, AND FUCK YOU. [05 Apr 2008|02:17am] [ mood | pissed off ] I took BB to get fixed today and never again. I will never get a dog fixed ever again. He's miserable, in pain, like what the fuck did I expect when they cut his nuts off. It really is one of the worst mistakes I've made and I won't ever do this to another dog. I did it because I'm hoping unfixed dogs will leave him alone, but I don't think it's worth it. I really should have just avoided the fucking dog park and let my kid play in a better and more sane environment. I'm fucking pissed over all this and I made a really bad decision. People that get your dogs fixed and think it's a great thing, you're fucking crazy. Here's the shit Bob Barker doesn't tell you: "As with any surgical procedure, immediate complications of neutering include the usual anesthetic and surgical complications, such as bleeding and infection. These risks are relatively low in routine spaying and neutering; however, they may be increased for some animals due to other pre-existing health Neutered dogs and cats of both genders have an increased risk of obesity. Theories for this include reduced metabolism, reduced activity, and eating more due to altered feeding behavior. Neutered dogs of both genders are at a twofold excess risk to develop osteosarcoma as compared to intact dogs, as well as an increased risk of hemangiosarcoma and urinary tract cancer. Neutered dogs of both genders have an increased risk of adverse reactions to vaccinations. Neutered dogs have also been known to develop hormone-responsive alopecia (hair loss). Neutered male dogs display a fourfold increased incidence of prostate cancer over intact males. In addition, neutered male dogs are at higher risk than intact males of developing moderate to severe geriatric cognitive impairment (geriatric cognitive impairment includes disorientation in the house or outdoors, changes in social interactions with human family members, loss of house training, and changes in the sleep-wake cycle)." I'm going to seriously start giving money to any foundation I can find that works against spay and neutering. If a fucker isn't responsible enough to own an animal without it breeding, then shoot the owner and give the animal to someone who CAN fucking raise it. I'm really, really, hating myself right now over this whole damn thing and I really hope a whole bunch of people die today. I don't care how, I don't care why, just a whole lot of people will have to die to make me feel like the universe is somewhat balanced again. Maybe a really big escellation in the Iraq war, or a coup in Africa, something. The body count had really better be in six digits before I'm going to feel anything. Just give me like 640,000 bodies. What's 10% of the general population? I'd really feel like some good had been done then. post comment

The Promised Galveston Pictures [27 Jan 2008|11:04pm] Here are the pics from my trip to Galveston. I just finally got around to syncing my phone to my computer and downloading the pictures. Here they are... There are pics of the beach, the night shots are looking at Galveston from Bolivar, and at The Spot. There are pics of me waiting in line for the ferry, of the Seawolf Park which looks like something out of Venture Bros., of BB and me. Enjoy http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y70/maize5/Galveston/?albumview=slideshow The guest password is "guest". I'll write more after I get moved, I promise. I love you, and you know who you are. post comment

January 14th 1978, 12:30pm PST [12 Jan 2008|10:41pm] [ mood | peaceful ] I got a burr up my ass, as I used to be prone to, and drove down to the ocean. Not the ocean, technically, I'm on the Gulf of Mexico in Galveston. It's absolutely wonderful, and just what I needed. I'm staring 30 dead in the eye and I'm determined not to flinch. So I called my wing-man, Dave, to come down to the beach with me. I thought it would be good for us to get out of town for about fourty-eight hours and decompress in slightly smaller lattitudes. As small as either of us can afford is about an hour south. He bitched out, so I grabbed BB, loaded up the car, and headed south at about 90mph. To flash-back a little, it was like 2pm when I was in the shower and opted to skate, and I didn't leave Houston until about four or five, so it was almost dark when I got down here. I took the ferry across to the Bolivar Penninsula because the beaches are less crouded, and they allow dogs. I loaded up and headed out with my co-pilot. We stopped and got some water, granola bars, and I bought a Jimmy Buffett double-live CD. I've had a massive embargo on all things Buffett for years. I don't know why, but I started to hate his music. I think it was really stoked with the whole Allan Jackson duette. I hate Country music, and felt he sold out years ago when he put a Margaritaville in Orlando and started his own tequilla line and all that. Today, however, I had Son of a Son of a Sailor in my head and wanted to hear it. I was a good choice and it's been tying the day together. I missed Mr. Buffett, and it should have clued me off that when I stopped listening to him it was a sign I was losing my happy. I had to call my grandparents to remember where the ferry was as it's been way too damn long since I've been here. I finally got across and made my way to the beach, let BB out and he went insane. I don't think he stopped running for the hour and a half we were there. He kept just running all over the damn place and I had to kee calling him back. If you've never seen Bolivar, there are no lights out there. It's a really pretty unspoiled, at least undeveloped place. Needless to say, it's easy to lose a dark-coloured dog at night on the beach. While he was losing his mind, I just stood there and looked up at The Stars and it was beautiful. I could see every damn star in all of creation and my brain just unwound in sheer brilliance of it. If I was a believer, I would say I saw the face of God. I didn't see it, though, what I saw was far more beautiful. I saw the part of myself I've been looking for. I saw a pure spontaneous action that brought me to the salty water to stare at the stars and commune a little with Orion and see Him in full magesty and brilliance. I realised that living in such a huge city, so far away from the water, and away from the things that make me whole has been killing me. I am in such a wonderful mood. I called around to see who had rooms open, I was even thinking about staying at the Hotel Galvez but it was packed. The receptionist helped me get a room at the Comfort Inn, though. I dropped BB off and got a burger at The Spot. If you're ever in Galveston, go eat at The Spot. It's probably the best place on the island. I sat on the outside patio and ate, despite the slight chill, and just enjoyed being here. I took a couple pictures that I will upload when I get home since I'm updating this, in just about real-time, from my phone. I'm now standing back on Bolivar and letting BB run around before bed so he can breathe the salty air and empty his butt. I'm going to head to the in a little bit and go to sleep. Then I'll wake up a little early, eat my free hotel breakfast, and come back to Bolivar before I head home around noon maybe. I love you all and whish you could all be here with me. Some more than others. Mahalo post comment

Call Dustin Hoffman [07 Jan 2008|03:43pm] I have the Motabo virus. I feel like fucking death warmed over, and this has been going on all weekend, slowly building up to this crescendo of wish I was dead. Plus my wireless keyboard is fucking up all over the place. I wouldn't be so pissed, because I bought it for like $30, but it would cost like $200 to replace. Oh well, I get paid on Friday so I'll go to the damn doctor and get a fat penicillin injection. Speaking of which, Kyle, how do I do it? What is the dosing recommendation for the injection? I'm just going to go to a livestock store and buy a bottle and a few needles. Or I'll pay the $120 and get an injection from my doctor or something. I can't believe I'm going to be 30 in a couple of days. Ugh. Not to jinx it, but I have a situation at work that may get me a $17k bonus check. If it pays off, I'm going to Vegas and bet it all on one spin of the roulette table. Also... this is Bill Kaulitz. He's in a band called Tokio Hotel that rocks hard and I highly recommend listening to them. I'm also queer for Bill. post comment

Not quite in the middle of the street [01 Jan 2008|11:29am] </a> This is the house I'll be moving into in the next couple of weeks. Nice big yard for BB, lots of room for me, and it's in a pretty darn nice part of town. Yay me. In other news, I earned myself about a $1,500 bonus check for end of January.

Fucking hair... [18 Nov 2007|06:19pm] I've been shaving my head for quite a few months now, since March or so, because I'm going bald quickly. It seemed like a convenient way to hide it, I guess, but now it's winter and I've been growing it out. Now my problem is my balding is even more accentuated because my hair is kind of dark and the white bald spot gleams through it. Where is this going? I went to the mall today and got a haircut. The place I used to go shut down on me and I have no idea where it is now, or even if it's still in business. So I went to Visible Changes as I just happened to be in the mall trying to find an extended charge battery for my phone. The worst haircut I ever fucking had. I could have found one of those Korean joints or something and had a better haircut, shit I used to get better ones from TGIF or whatever it's called. I fucking paid $21 for this shit, and I'm pissed. Just venting here really, nothing more than me bitching so don't think this is going anywhere. post comment

Which food seems like it should be healthy and isn't, and do you eat it? Why? - Most of the shit at Whole Foods, to be honest. They bitch about processed foods, but how much processing does it take to turn soy beans into Tofurkey or fake cheese? Yeah, I eat some of it because some of it tastes pretty good, to be honest. 4. If you were an item of food, personified, what would you be and why? - What the fuck? 5. You've seen tomatoes and pies used for this purpose... now think of a more inventive item of food one could throw at someone.

This one is personal, so you may not want to read. [28 Jul 2007|11:34pm] I am watching House, as I am want to do, and it is the episode where House has to deal with a woman who has been raped. From a thematic standpoint, it really is a terrific episode and explains a lot of why House is the way he is. Turns out his father abused him. The actress who played the rape victom is incredibly beautiful, I mean truly and purely beautiful. Whenever I watch the episode I feel a lot of empathy and start thinking how I would like to have a girlfriend like her. A girlfriend who has been raped. It sounds terrible, and it's not a fetish. I think I just need someone as fucked-up and damaged as I am. I don't know... I'm in a bad spot right now, unfortunately. I have no idea where I'm going or what I'm doing, and I don't know how to change it. I need a better job, one that I enjoy and pays better. Or I just need the powe of mind-control. Though, I can't decide if mind-control or time manipulation would be better. Mind-control would be possibly more effective, and definately has it's perks. However, I think that time manipulation would be easier and quicker. How many armoured cars and banks could you rob when all you have to do is walk up and take the money. Besides, you could get some serious alone time when you needed it by just freezing everyone in place. post comment

Like yoghurt [30 Jun 2007|01:39pm] [ mood | contemplative ] I've come to a conclusion that the problem with people is not race, class, gender, or any of that. The problem comes down to culture. Women aren't weaker or like sex less or are better organised by nature. Women are raised intentionally or unintentionally to fit this mould of how a woman "should" act. This is why women are percieved as being crazy, I can't even imagine how that must feel to be raised in that. Blacks aren't naturally lazy, pre-disposed to craving sugar and fat, unable to listen to anything but high-base music. Look at low income white people, mostly the same traits. These people are raised in a culture where people tend to just give up and quit trying or caring about basic... I almost typed "social norms", but I think that they are raised by people who have chosen to fail and cover it up by becoming incredibly insular to keep themselves away from anyone who could "judge" them. A king of thieves kind of situation. When we are dealing with a person in an every-day scenerio, it's usually a very shallow transaction. In those situations, one is not dealing with a person, one is dealing with a culture and a situation. What we need to keep in mind is that if people were genetically predisposed to these behaviours than they would be across the board. Tiger Woods and Colin Powell would be slugging back 40s and bumping TuPac in public. Tiger would be rolling an Escellade on dubs instead of a stock Buick. People are all just people. Any given person, on a one-to-one basis, is quite likely to be wonderful. They will, however, revert to their cultural conditioning in any situation that makes them uncomfortable. Our cultures are a source of comfort. Viva a Raza, Black Power, White Pride, Upper Class, Thank God I'm a Country Boy, Upper East Side, West Coast, East Coast, all of that shit ad nausium. This is where the stereotypes come from and are usually true. I live in Houston, Texas and have been dealing with these fucking Katrina people for almost two fucking years. First, let me state that New Orleans is a fucking Hell-Hole and that god smited the fuck out of the place. Unfortunately the incompitent fuck did a less than even half-assed job and left far too many alive. That having been said, let's look at culture. These animals are in Houston now and instead of taking the fresh start, they all chose to continue thier welfare-sucking ways and have increased Houston's crime-rate 16% in just the first year they were here. The stereotypes of Blacks are exemplified in these fuckers and would make Al Sharpton want to join the Klan. Where does this get us? It gets us into the concept of a self-fufilling prophecy. A group of people knowingly and willingly embody the concept of a Nigger and then yell and scream about people being racist. That's really about like shooting someone in the face and then getting upset when they complain about it. So what is to be done about this? Part of me would actually debate if anything should be done. Part of the problem with wanting to save the world is the thought that we are also subject to our own cultures and the problems they cause. Say you wanted to go into the South and cure the terrible diets. Okay, but how? Say you're a granola-snorting Hippie and go about banning meat or some such shit. What makes you think that is the best way to manage your diet? For myself, having been raised in a culture were meat is bad, I looked into it. I really can't say that Vegitarianism is any better than eating meat. I do think that eating a shoulder of beef every day is probably going to kill you, so will eating nothing but bean sprouts and carrots. Why not a culture where we maximize our nutrition and are grateful for the opportunity to eat anything? We have become so seperated from the nuts and bolts of life in general that we no longer have any context for ourselves. We rely on total strangers to handle the most imporant aspects of our lives, and then look down on them for doing so. We no longer handle the deaths of our friends and families, we let the creepy mortitian who's probably fucking the stiffs do it for us. We no longer gather and prepare our own food, we let the hillbilly farmer, the wetback picker, and the pot-head burger flipper do it for us. We don't wear good, sturdy clothing anymore. We wear shit made by some sand-nigger child that's cleaned by the gook laundry service. We no longer live or enjoy life, and we curse the people who have picked up the slack. This has led to huge Agri-Business conglomerates churning out shit food that's over-priced while they get government subsidies (read welfare), huge funeral companies that throw bodies in ditches and give us wood dust as a substitiute for our loved-ones ashes. We bitch about using oil for gas in SUVs, but don't think about all the plastic water bottles, synthetic rubber shoe soles, and synthetic faberics we can't live without. Go buy a fucking canvass grocery bag, and a cotton bra. Shit, we bitch about the land nessecary to produce bio-fuels when farmers are given government money to not grow a thing. I wonder how much land is used to grow tobacco and Christmas trees. What about cemetaries and golf courses? Any realestate pro will tell you that those are the two biggest wastes of land. Look at landfills that the organic material could be used as fertalizer and bio-fuels, the metals and plastics and glasses recycled, and the six-billion dollars in pennies that are supposedly in there. You want alternative fuels? Look up gas hydrate; wave, solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal plants. Why is there such a stygma about building an efficient house and car. The original Ford Model T got 24 miles per gallon. that's about what we're getting now. In 100 years we've not increased average fuel economy one bit. You think you're good for owning a Prius? Did you know the Humvee, the real one, uses less energy and creates less pollution over it's life than a Prius? The Geo Metro gets about the same fuel economy as a hybrid. Chew on that. To digress to an earlier point, I'm pretty sure the average person puts more thought into the brand of toiletpaper they wipe with than the food they use to make the shit in the first place. The last century has been a wide pendulum between benifits and curses. How do people not know how to make soap anymore? I guarantee some of your grandparents lived in a time before people bought soap. I don't know how to fix any of this. People are genuinely more lazy about things that matter. I see my managers running around all day playing the "Who Can Act More Like a Corporate Stereotype" game. They run around all day doing absolutely nothing. All that gets accomplished is competition over who writes the most impressive e-mail about nothing. At the end of the day, though, not even real business has been accomplished. People now worry about all this insignifica, but not about the real nuts and bolts of life. You hear about people being stuck in meetings all day at work, but when do they talk to anyone about how to simplify thier lives? It's fine enough to have a shitty job so long as you have something good to anchor to. I don't want anyone to think that I'm advocating any religion or shit like that. I'm not advocating that we all live in yurts and wear paper pants. I think technology and the benifits of modern society are great. The problem is when people stop caring what technology and society are doing. We don't care how far things have to go in order to provide insignificant comforts. We have very little real to worry about, we have to make things up. When something real does happen, we don't even care. We're more up in arms about things like gay marrage that we don't care about feeding and caring for our fellow man. People are so obsessed with thier cultures that they can't even think straight. Fags want to marry, so what? Instead of writing a law to say queers can be misserable, let anyone of legal age marry whomever they want. I think gays, straights, polygamy, let everyone marry. Who the fuck even cares? Unfortunately, these cultures will not disappear until we stop confusing people with thier cultures. These things are deeply ingrained, though. Even the whitest of niggers or the blackest of crackers still maintain an accent of thier own cultures. People like being ignorant, they like being obnoxious because it makes them feel significant. It's easier to pretend that being a total douchebag is cool than to pick up a book and learn something. It also stems from insecurities. People know they're morons and are a little sensitive about it. That's why when a Black man goes to school and becomes successful, other Blacks will call him an Uncle Tom and complain that he's abandoning his culture. He's not so much abandoning the Black culture as he's abandoning a culture of ignorance and poverty. What we tend to think of as Black culture is a culture of ignorance and poverty that spreads throughout racial lines. It's a gris-gris to hang around one's neck as a comfort. A totem of protection that, as with all gris-gris, doesn't actually work. Fuck your culture, fuck your tribe, fuck your race, fuck your country, fuck your god, fuck your ignornace and stupidity. They're all one in the same and they're all weights around our necks. Religion vs. Athieism is a non-argument because religion isn't important. If there is an afterlife, or whatever, it doesn't matter compared to this life and real people. post comment
