    Politics...how I loathe thee...

    Ok, by now everyone knows about the whole Cheney hunting accident thing.
     
    Can you believe this? The press doesn't really care that the other person was injured, only that they didn't hear about it the moment it happened so they could make more late night talk show fodder that much quicker. Anyone who has seen my earlier entries on similar subjects knows that I think all politicians are the same, and not in a positive way. So with that, I would like to expose an essential truth about human life.
     
    As much as people claim to want to be told the truth, they lie about wanting to hear it.
     
    How does this SHOCKING (and oh so obvious) groundbreaking earthshattering fact apply to politics one might ask?
     
    Well if one were to ask I would tell one that it applies thusly:
     
    I will NEVER be elected to public office, because I would be too honest. If I had an accident like that and some smartass from the press asks me why the press wasn't notified for a whole day afterwards I'd say "Gee, that's a tough one let me think" I would then proceed to hum the theme to Final Jeopardy, and reply that "After careful consideration....I don't know. Why WOULDN'T I tell a room full of sensationalist vultures anything? That's a mystery for the ages. Next Question."
     
    How much FUN would that be seeing a politician who didn't bend over backwards to be polite, especially when other people obviously loathe him? I'd LOVE to be that guy!!!
     
    'prrrrrrrrrrr'
     
    Aww thanks pal! See I got one vote, now I just need a few million more! Come on people!

    And again

    Well, once again a young lady I had some affection for has decided to turn her attentions to someone else instead of me. You know, I realize it's a part of life, but I'm getting tired of my crappy luck.
     
    I'm tired of being second best, a romantic "also ran"....I'm used to it by now....but it still stings. Who knows, maybe it's just Valentine's Day making it worse.

    *sigh*

    Television is BS ya know that? Total BS. Anyone ever watch that War at Home show on Fox? You know, another in the endless line of sitcoms where the idiot/dumb/fat/too feminine man gets the good looking/totally devoted wife that would never give him a second glance if they were average people. And in this case, a son that's too feminine and a pretty daughter that gives him a rough time every chance she gets. Well this particular episode, the daughter was whining about wanting breast implants because she was "tired of the girls with big boobs getting all the attention". How much shit is that? Now, I realize it's a sitcom, I realize also that women do genuinely have self-confidence issues like this but MY GOD, COME ON!
     
    You know what I'm tired of? I'm tired of MY personality not counting for shit, you know, here in the REAL world. Now I realize I'm a total ass on here, but really all this place is is to help me get my agression out and bond with some nicer folks than myself. When it comes to most things I do my best to be the sweetest I can be...does it matter to anyone? Hell no. At least, not that I've noticed. But, why bother? The world will continue to get more superficial, and I'll continue to bitch.

    Is Simon crossing the line on ‘Idol’? - Access Hollywood - MSNBC.com

    Is Simon crossing the line on ‘Idol’? - Access Hollywood - MSNBC.com

     

    I should note before I say anything that I have never watched one episode of AI. That's right, not one. But there have been enough news stories about it that I know how Simon acts.

     

    What? Now everyone is up in arms because they found out he really IS an asshole and not just doing it for the couch potato public's benefit? 75% of the shows' popularity comes from Simon ripping into people, and now people are getting mad because he makes some insensitive weight comments? WOW! Being overweight myself that would hurt if I found someone had said that about me on national television but really, is anyone THAT surprised?

     

    And the self-rightous lady from the Fat Acceptance group, what's your story? NEWSFLASH LADY!!! Sorry to tell you, but that's RIGHT, in today's world you AREN'T allowed to be fat, you AREN'T allowed to be gay, and...dun dun dun....here's the big one, you AREN'T allowed to be disabled!!!! Anything that falls outside the exceedingly narrow lines of what's considered normal is wrong and everyone else is right, welcome to the world I've lived with for 22 years now being overweight AND disabled! But gee, how foolish of me, because YOU had this big revelation about one cruel jerk, the world will surely change its tune.....right.

    *crickets*

    Much has happened over the recent months of my new hiatus. I started school again, in the home stretch! If all goes well I'll have my degree by Spring. Holding A's in all my classes currently, which is a far cry from where I WAS. My niece is standing now. One of my friends is pregnant with her second child. I'm currently attempting to woo a lovely young lady that's caught my eye. No response yet though, note I did say ATTEMPTING.

     

    Could this mean I'm finally over my ex? Or, at least as over any of my exes as I ever get? No, I doubt it. If I were, every random thing that makes me think of her still wouldn't depress me. I suck, plain and simple. I'm a GUY, this crap isn't supposed to bother me.  Right ladies? Heh, I knew all of my trying to NOT be the sterotypical male would bite me in the ass some day. It's been a LONG time for God's sake. Oh well. The holidays always do this to me more than usual.

    That's IT!

    Cindy Sheehan...for God's sake...SHUT THE HELL UP!!!

     

    Really, I feel sorry I do, but that's as far as it goes. What makes YOUR son's death any more important than what hundreds of other families have gone through? NOTHING! Sure, I may sound heartless, but truth be told, I have friends fighting over there, and I'd be devastated if I lost any of them, would I make it seem like THEY were the only life lost that meant anything? NO I WOULDN'T! The President did not go out and kill your son, some psychotic asshole half a world away did that. And no, even though that may sound political, I really couldn't care less about that mess. All politicians are the same, they all mean well but just end up being elderly rich folks with scandals and book deals, even so, it's the best system we have, you don't like it, feel free to say so, but don't act like you speak for me.

    Man dies after 50 hours of computer games

    MSNBC - Man dies after 50 hours of computer games

     

    As sorry as I feel for this man's family and friends...I feel like cheering. One less indescribably STUPID individual to clutter up the gene pool. What is it that says people have to be so addicted to video games they'll die? I play em for hours myself, but nowhere near 50, or even an all nighter. Just more ammunition for all the elderly white tower government folk to put more restrictions on a surprisingly harmless form of entertainment.

    More Jackson hilarity

     
     
    This is just precious isn't it? Two of the Jackson jurors are saying now that they regret voting not guilty.
     
    Now, let me get this out of the way first thing, I believe he is guilty of some form of molestation both with this boy and earlier. I do not necessarily believe some of the more graphic testimony offered, as it seemed somewhat sensationalized, but I believe a guilty man was set free.
     
    One of the two, when asked why they were coming forward now said "I believe it's never too late to tell the truth" well, I'm sorry, but as far as the justice system goes, it IS too late to tell the truth now lady.
     
    Truth about what, you may ask? Well these two jurors are saying they were pressured by everyone else to vote not guilty and go along with the crowd. Also, that the head of the jury threatened to have the two of them removed from the deliberations if they didn't agree with everyone else, a power which the foreperson does not have. Besides, if this person was making comments like that, they could have asked to speak to the judge in private and told him what was going on.
     
    Besides, if they were so concerned that they were being forced to vote in a way they didn't want to, why not have the moral fiber to vote guilty anyway? The outcome would still be the same, hung jury or acquittal he still gets off, but at least these people would have voted the way they thought they should have, how nice.
     
    But, both jurors can comfort themselves with the money they'll make from thier respective book deals. I hear it's a lot easer to sleep on a bed lined with cash. Adults are always telling young people to stop using the peer pressure crap as an excuse for bad behavior, but I guess this shows no one is immune.

    spooky

    Have you ever wondered what happens when we die?

     

    I can't remember if I've mentioned this in earlier entries, and I'm too tired to look.

     

    I believe my home, or at least the property on which it stands, is haunted in some form. I have had many experiences which separately wouldn't be seen as paranormal, but can be frightening.

     

    I occasionally hear footsteps walking up and down the wheelchair ramp to our front door. I'll either be watching television, reading, or moving around my house, and "something" will slam on nearby pieces of furniture. Just like if you had flattened out your hand and slapped the top of a table hard. Ever since I was little I've been afraid to be alone outdoors, since I always always feel that there is someone one step behind me and occasionally hear footsteps over my own movements. Now that I would attribute to a little boy and his imagination...but it happens even today.

     

    If I'm reading or using the computer, or even just going down the hall, I'll get bad chills down my back, and it feels like if I look just quick enough, I'll see something that shouldn't be there.  I remember, where I heard someone call my name from outside my room (closed door) and no one in the house had called me.

     

    Even my mother has had one incident that she'll admit she can't explain, that happened just a few weeks ago.  Even though her and my father try to discredit the footsteps I hear and such. My grandfather died in February, my oldest uncle died quite a while ago.

    My mother has a little shelf in her room with makeup and perfume she doesn't use anymore on it, Some in glass bottles, some in plastic, all far back against the wall so no accidental movement could cause them to fall, and the shelf itself is on the other side of the room from my mom's bed. My mom was sitting on her bed, and I was sitting in the hallway (her room opens up right to the hallway, so you're in the hallway, open her door and her bed is right there) we were talking about my grandfather, and one of the plastic bottles rolled off the shelf, across the room and under her bed. Note that this bottle was not lying on its side on the shelf, it was standing upright, yet it rolled off the shelf and under her bed. Needless to say even my mother who discredits what I think might be here was quite shaken by that. We laughed it off and just siad "hi grandpa/dad, thanks for visiting" and changed the subject.

    In my room I have both a belt that my oldest uncle made for my grandfather, and sunglasses that used to belong to my grandfather, but aside from the usual stuff I mentioned earlier, nothing new has happened in my room since his death.

     

    Do any of you have any thoughts or experiences you'd like to share?

    *incomprehensible muttering*

    I hate established learning. I can't go back to school in the fall unless I get some kind of financial aid or beg for a loan. Well, I kinda can't get financial aid if THE SCHOOL WAITS FOR THREE WEEKS TO TELL ME MY PAPERWORK WAS INCOMPLETE!!!!!!!
     
    Ok, so I could have called them earlier to see what was going on, but when you're dealing with the college I go to, you get used to long waits between calls or mail, so I didn't think anything was amiss. Until I call this morning and found out my verification paperwork has been sitting in their office for 3 weeks because either one of my parents forgot to sign the last signature space.
     
    Verification: When I fill out the Federal Application For Student Aid, I have to be honest about our family income obviously. Verification comes when apparently your answers are so out of whack that the college you choose to have the FAFSA results sent to doesn't believe you. (How can you possibly recieve hundreds of dollars a year in social security, and still be at poverty level??? and need financial aid *collective gasp from the financial aid geniuses*)
     
    So my parents have to fill out this wittle form and send in signed copies of their wittle income tax forms to the college, just to you know, make sure that this family who can barely make ends meet isn't trying to fleece the system. So we send the stuff in three weeks ago and lordy lordy I get a letter in the mail today...."since we have not heard from you we will assume that you do NOT want financial aid for the upcoming school year, if this is not the case, please contact us immediately".
     
    Haven't heard from me??? OH! You say my form wasn't signed correctly??? Nice of you to LET ME KNOW!!! YOU HAVE ALL MY CONTACT INFORMATION ON FILE FOR A REASON!!!! What? did you IDIOTS think I was gonna send a sticky note in a seperate envelope with the missing signature on it? So you decided to wait forever for that missing signature to come in the mail???
     
    Oh! But that's not all!!! Apparrently they also never got a copy of my mother's W2's. Well gee, that might be because we already told you people she doesn't HAVE any state records of her income, she has to keep track of it herself. My mother is part of a home chore program which basically pays her a certain amount each month for taking care of mine and my twin's basic needs like meals, laundry, and so on. But, the state doesn't bother keeping records of it, so it's up to the individual. Well, after 10 minutes of repeatedly explaining this to the lady I spoke to, we settled on having my mother write her income on a sheet of paper and signing it....JOY!!!! And this was AFTER explaining how my mother's income was already stated on my parents tax return, it was just combined with my father's. My head hurts, my blood pressure is up, and I still gotta deal with these people!!! *shudder*

    Time marches on...

    Well it's that time of year again, when mom starts asking me what I want for my birthday come September. I have no idea. The things I really want can't be given, like a chance to relive the year and fix several massive key mistakes I've made. You know, it sucks being in your early 20's and having a premature midlife crisis, it really does. Of course, I've been having mine for almost 4 years now, so I should be used to it.

    test

    (Please Note, the following text is a direct copy/paste from my previous blank "oh boy..." entry, so aparrently every other post I add is now gonna be blank for some reason)
     
     Watching All Souls Day on Sci-Fi, and even though I've seen it before I couldn't miss a chance to rant on another pointless zombie movie. Four too attractive teenagers fighting off zombies. Yay.
     
    You know, you'd think since these kids would be born in the 1980's storyline wise the characters themselves would have seen one zombie movie and be able to remember one mostly reliable piece of zombie lore...shoot/stab/crush the head, they go down for good. And since they're corpses to begin with, it should be even easier to kil em since the bodies have softened over time. But, the one piece of lore that the token blonde bimbo remembers is that when one of the guys gets bit he needs to be isolated in case he turns into one, which doesn't happen with these zombies apparrently, and yet one idiot stabs one with a knife and it keeps coming, shoots another one three times in the chest and it keeps coming, and wastes five more shots firing in the air to distract em while one of the guys runs across the street for more bullets.
     
    Now, if a zombie infestation were to happen in real life, I'd probably curl up in a ball and get eaten cause I'd be too afraid, but at least if I could do something I'd know WHAT to do heh. Apparently allowing fictional characters some knowledge of other fictional situations kills the fun. Right.
     
     
     
     

    Yay!

    Another entry that I find is blank after I post my bla entru, this has happened twice now and it's already becoming annoying beyond imagination.

    *sigh*

    I hate this day heh, think somebody got into my space and deleted the poem I put up here last night. Although why they would do that and then not ruin anything else I dunno. It shows a visit from passport login at around 1:30 AM....yet I'm pretty sure I was in bed then. The kicker? It's not even letting me change my password...it goes through all right, and my password is still the same...it just reloads the form blank.
     
    Could I have visited here late? And if I did, I certainly wouldn't delete my stuff. I really don't think I did. Maybe I'm too paranoid...
     
    Oh well.

    When good days go bad....

    NOTE: The following post contains excessive swearing...well...a little excessive for me. If you're a child who shouldn't view bad words, or an adult offended by them, do not read on, you have been warned and I am absolved of any offense taken if you choose to read further.
     
     
    Ok, I'm having a fabulous day, I actually went most of the day without thinking about my ex (damn subconscious, ruining another good night's sleep). My parents went most of an entire day without bitching at each other, we had a family movie night tonight, (The Pacifier, if you haven't seen it, check it out!) but before the good times with the movie, I just happened to catch the first portion of 60 minutes...2 little kids who stabbed another one 34 times...
     
    NOTE: I did NOT see the entire segment, but since they were talking about one of the kids making up a story, and hiding his bloody shoes, I can figure that yes, at least ONE of them did it.
     
    Now, anyone who was a regular viewer before my loooong hiatus, knows that if I had my way, I'd personally torture little thugs who do stuff like this, and to make it worse, the kid they did this to, a "playmate" of theirs was what people called "slow"....oh, so it's not enough you kill somebody...but you kill someone who's a little worse off than you, and then you have the BALLS to go on national tv and say how sorry you are, screw you ya little bitches.
     
    I hope somebody in that juvie lockup DOES make you both their bitches. I am SOOOO sick and tired of the world  having sympathy for animals like this, who are just "misunderstood". BS, I was victimized at school all the time, did I FEEL like killing people, yeah? Did I do it? NO! I just knocked em in the face (or somewhere else if they didn't move fast) a couple times if they were dumb enough to roll my chair into a locker and stay nearby. And guess what, I would go home and play VIOLENT video games too! *gasp* I still haven't killed anyone in reality...shocking isn't it?
     
    What? School has nothing to do with it?! well YES it DOES. These fools and those worms at Columbine belong in the same level of hell. If I see ONE more documentary on Columbine or something similar, trying to tug at folks heartstrings I'll pull out what little remains of my hair!

    Strange searches...

    I mentioned this a while ago but it needs commenting on again, my space seems to be a stopping off point for porn starved folks.
     
    checking my stats page to see if anyone has stopped by to bask in my close minded slash open minded slash lonely slash hopeless romantic slash rage filled wisdom lately, and I see someone visited my page, from a search entitled "Midget Girl Sex"....gee, isn't it interesting the things you learn on the Internet?

    And so it continues....

    My heart goes out to the people of London. Another day, more bombings...meanwhile a bunch of radical idiots are stroking each other somewhere, plotting the next way to earn their virgins in paradise. I realize that it's a perverted form of Islam that causes people to do these things, but COME ON! From now on I'm declaring a holy war against idiocy, and I gotta tell ya I'll have even less success than those psychos are. I hereby institute a new religion, with my lovely female goddess Midgeta, the goddess of overweight guys in wheelchairs, with my High Priest Fuzzems 'ta-da!!!' and my first order of business is to systematically bitchslap and torture everyone I don't agree with...like oh I dunno terrorists, Nazis, little whiny brats who shoot up schools because they thought they had the market cornered on being victimized...you know, it's all a rich tapestry.
     
    Do I realize that it's hypocritical to say what I just said, since I would be using a religion to do whatever the hell I want? Sure I do!! but's it's MY space, and I'm ticked.
