While I usually steer clear of political subjects unless I'm talking with good ole  CigarSkunk, this was just too good to pass up.

Townhall.com::The "Sex-Box" Race for President

http://www.townhall.com/Columnists/.....;comments=true

I play games, boy do I play a lot of games... And I couldn't help but read the above piece and wonder what would happen to the US government if it started putting it's fingers into controlling game distribution based on rating.

Many of the games I play have little to no sexual content. I like my games violent because let's face it, blowing the living hell outta some jackass in a tank on BF2142 is preferable to me climbing a bell tower with a high powered sniper rifle. Not that there's any real connection between violent games and violent behavior. I've found that the violent and aggressive people I've encountered didn't need video games. A vast majority of them have never played a game outside of the Solitaire that came with their computer.

There are a few games with sexual content. The article above raves about the sex in Mass Effect. A game I am currently playing. If you're looking for hot steamy sex, this game is not the place to search. The story for the game is very adult oriented. Themes such as war, trust, betrayal, extinction and so on giving it a very unique and enthralling 'read'. I am also playing a game called, The Witcher. It has much more sexual content in it than Mass Effect, but really doesn't show anything outside of a heavily blurred and sepia effected cut scene of maybe 3 seconds before it updates your journal entry for that person and gives you a lil cheese-cake card for your efforts.

I have no particular party affliction (sic) and am registered as an Independent. Both Republicans and Democrats have things about them that annoy me, even though I tend to be rather liberal in my views. It seems as though the line of 'government intrusion' into things such as what can and can't be watched is a bi-partisan effort (I will admit though the Democrats seem to be a bigger threat on this front). With that said, stay the fuck outta my DVD collection, my games and my internet.

Now...I don't believe a child should be playing a game such as The Witcher or Grand Theft Auto (who the hell buys their 12 year old kid a game named after a felony offense?) anymore than I would want a kid to watch Aliens VS Predator: Requiem. Awesome movie by the way. If I had kids, they would not be watching those movies or playing those games. But guess what? Some parents feel it's okay for their kids to do so. And you know what? I saw a buncha kids ranging from ages 0.1 to 16+ years old watching AvP:R. THAT'S THEIR PARENT'S RIGHT. They as parents get to decide this, not me, not you, not some jackass behind a desk elected to be there. As to if it is 'a mistake', that's for them and time to iron out.

Okay, I'm done ranting. Have fun guys! I'm off to play some more Supreme Commander and BF2142. I have the urge to fight a war.

PS -

If you want to read some more from the same article creator, I suggest the following, it's on topic.

Okay guys, this year, the year of 2007 hasn't exactly sucked, save for the last week. At 6pm on X-mas day, had to take dad to ER. Turns out he popped some of his stitches. He had a glacostomy bag put in last week. Argh, bad week, but it is over, so onto the new year!

Too all my friends and enemies, Happy New Year, 2008CE.

Resolutions time! Here are mine:

1 - Reduce debt
2 - Cook more meals
3 - Find girlfriend

What are yours?

Okay, so I got to Tulsa. I had some packers pack me and some movers move me and some unmovers unmove and unpack the junk I own at my new residence. I am liking this area of Tulsa (south 81st St area) and I am told it is one of the better neighborhoods. Of course, I imagine anyone selling me a home would tell me that the neighborhood I am currently in rocks and to ignore the chalk outlines.

Got my first paycheck, still have a few boxes packed, cause I'm a lazy skunk. Found my camera, it seems undamaged. Nice having an actual office for once and not my desk right next to my friggen bed. Now my bed is just that, my bed. Not a storage place for extra media. >.>

Went exploring a few areas, found Mecca, supposedly a really old coffee/tea/cigar shoppe. Three of my favorite things.

Since I've last written it would appear my dad has had surgery and had a glacostomy *sp?* bag installed. I call him every so often as they're still watching his recovery. He seems okay, and his words are "Well, the bag sucks, but it beats dying."

Mom seems indifferent about the whole thing. I guess you gotta treat someone like iron man as a coping mechanism else your head would explode from worry.

If there are any furs in Tulsa who wanna meet up, let me know. I'm bored as piss.

Not going to say why I started looking for a new job but I found one in Tulsa, Oklahoma! I will be making 56k a year at this job and it deals with things I like, namely Lawson, databases and hardware.

Going to move the 15th and hopefully have all I need set up by then. Otherwise this will be very neat and fun. Put in my two weeks today. Going to move into a bigger apartment too, for the same price as what I am paying now.

Fun times! Who all is in Tulsa?

Okay, because I feel comfortable about this now, I will be offering prints of anything in my gallery. They will use high quality photo papers and inks as well as being numbered and signed on the back. Not sure how well this will be received, but I'm hoping... =^.^=. I am also going to try requests, so if you do request please be patient. Check out the Comissions page for more details!

This was typed on my iPod Touch while waiting in doctor's office.

I just got my 16G iPod Touch today. Right now I am writing this from under our datacenter floor as I run fiber... I feel uberdork now.

Okay,

Here's the story. I and my team come in around the same time each morning, unless one of us has to go to a remote (anywhere from a few miles away to half a state away) clinic that morning. Apparently some point over the weekend, someone managed to steal a 40ft tower from one of our sites. Now, don't go asking 'How did they do that!?'... It wasn't fully assembled yet. It was in pieces. But, we lost a $2k tower.

The funny part? It had been sitting there for a month, unchained, unlocked, in plain sight of everyone. We locked it up over the weekend. Come back, and it got stolen. It's an aluminum tower. So we got the local recycling spots keeping an eye out for roughly 250 pounds of aluminum tower coming in.

Hope insurance will get us another tower.

Stolen from  streaksSkunk He's just so full of good ideas!

If your life were a movie. What would the soundtrack be?

Here's how it works:

1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie.

This just confirms it, my life is odd.

I turned 28 today (7:15am).

I had a slab of ribs and a beer for lunch.

Got some rum for tonight.

I have a new electric razor!

Yay!

I hate birthdays. I mean, it's not like I'm trying to be some emo dick or anything, but I just hate them. I only have one bad memory attached to birthdays and it wasn't even my birthday but my brother's when he had a party and no one showed. I hated em before that tho. My friends mean well, but I don't really remind em when it's coming up. Don't tell my coworkers either, which works out well since we're usually too busy. My parents call me, that I don't mind. Usually I take the day off and hide in the wildlife refuge. Cell phone can't reach out there.

Does anyone else hate birthdays?

Things I have baked in the last month or two:

- Raspberry brownies
- Espresso brownies
- Chocolate walnut cookies
- Apple cranberry pie
- Three milk cake
- Marble brownies
- Tiger fudge
- Lemon squares

Anyone got a request as to what I should bake next? :P

Baking is one of the things I'm really good at. ^.^

Ah, out of the six I have on my junk, one of them was probably too close to the front line and has been 'migrating', so I took it out. If you don't know and are curious, here's what migration is:

Borrowed from:
http://tattoo.about.com/cs/piercefa...../migration.htm

Migration
Migration is the symptom. The process of the movement that slowly brings your body jewelry closer and closer to the skin's surface is migration. If the jewelry is not removed, the process of rejection will cause it to migrate far enough to actually push its way entirely through the skin. Once this happens, the possibility of healing without scarring is very unlikely.

Bleh.

What it means for me is that it was probably in a bad spot and I can ask that the sixth one be added in the back of the ladder. What it feels like? Lots of soreness! Least the artist doing them is kind enough to redo a migration.

I used a bonus I get at work for being 'on call' to pick up a copy of The Darkness on the XBox 360.. Fucking fun game. Walked right into EB and picked it up. I refuse to 'reserve' a game. It just seems like a shady business deal to me, and the one time I did reserve one in the past (many years back) they sold my copy accidently.

But, Darkness fun.. Lots of violence, and the monologues in the game are actually interesting and entertaining.

I love these tests. Apparently I'm going to the 6th level of Hell in Dante's Inferno. Anyone wanna join me?

The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Sixth Level of Hell - The City of Dis!

Sixth Level of Hell - The City of Dis

You approach Satan's wretched city where you behold a wide plain surrounded by iron walls. Before you are fields full of distress and torment terrible. Burning tombs are littered about the landscape. Inside these flaming sepulchers suffer the heretics, failing to believe in God and the afterlife, who make themselves audible by doleful sighs. You will join the wicked that lie here, and will be offered no respite. The three infernal Furies stained with blood, with limbs of women and hair of serpents, dwell in this circle of Hell.

Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
Level | Score
Purgatory | Very Low
Level 1 - Limbo | High
Level 2 | High
Level 3 | Moderate
Level 4 | Very Low
Level 5 | Low
Level 6 - The City of Dis | Very High
Level 7 | Very High
Level 8- the Malebolge | Moderate
Level 9 - Cocytus | Low

I'm AioKitsune on LIVE if ya wanna chat.

Well,

I smoke, a lot. But when I want to relax, I smoke my pipe (sorry guys, only the legal stuff). Smoking a pipe was a lot more of an art than I had realized when I started five years ago. Lots of stuff you gotta learn to make the experience enjoyable. How to use a pick and nail, how to clean, how to breath, and so on. I was taught by an old dude who used to hang out at the coffee and cigar shop I frequent. It felt like a 'passing of skills'. Meet him at the shoppe, see if I could smoke properly enough to get a bowl off a church warden to last 45 minutes plus. Now I can keep a nice steady puff going for an hour to an hour and a half. It's very economical. >.>

Lately tho, I smoke my pipe in the comfort of my own house. It's like incense, only it can give you cancer, hehe. What rare times I smoke it at the coffee shoppe I just make a small bowl, enough to last maybe a half hour. I have my reasons, and today one of those reasons showed up. Every so often some army recruits fresh outta basic will get a pipe to celebrate. I do admit, it is humorous to watch them experiment with it. Puff puff give, and so on.

Today though was different, as it would appear someone who could barely operate a door was given a pipe. Normally this isn't a huge concern. I mean, the worst that happens is they hurl because they try to smoke it like a cig and get queezy or they buy a blend that's too strong for them, or other small things that just cause minor embarrassment. I was watching some guy with a nifty new pipe playing and fondling it, nothing bad there. He didn't properly poke the pack in the bowl, so he occasionally inhaled a chunk or two. All minor beginner stuff. He didn't understand what his nail (a lot of pipe nails look like big nails you hammer down, but with flattened ends for scooping ash), and when he went to stir his bowl he almost stuck his finger in the damned bowl.

Usually I don't care but I had to say something, namely cause someone screaming in agony at having a brand new sausage digit tends to ruin lunch. He shrugged me off when I told em, "Hey, that's not a good idea." Apparently in basic they beat TOO much sense outta him. His logic was, "There's no fire so it can't be too hot..." A few minutes pass, I got back to smoking my cig and drinking my coffee, reading the latest mags the cafe offers. Suddenly I hear, "YEOW FUCK!" and the off snapping sound. Sure enough, he had tried to stir with his damned finger, reflex causing him to drag his hand down, smashing the pipe from his jaw's grip and slamming it on his table.

The fool had just broke a $200 pipe.

I had to weep a little when I saw such a beautiful pipe meet an untimely end.

My pipe...Is a regular ole brair wood long stemmed church warden. It cost me like $80, and is my fourth pipe. I have two meerschaum pipe, one of a lion's head and the other of an eagle's claw. The last pipe I owned was my 'training pipe'. Cost me all of $17 and was a good learner.

I still want a pipe like the hobbits had in Lord of the Rings. >.>

I hate giving gifts. Especially to my parents, it's not that they hate it or belittle me or anything, it's just that I want to give them giant gold statues, and all I can afford is something you get out of those 50cent prize machines...

SO... I need input. Which of the following should I give my dad for father's day?
(He's getting a card, that's a given)

1 - (3) 4" x 6" full colour prints on high gloss of my best photos
2 - (1) 8.5" x 11" full colour print on high gloss of my best, framed
3 - (1) of his favorite cigar (unsure since he DOES have cancer)
4 - (1) CD of one of his favorite bands (he likes heavy metal)
5 - Wash, detail and vacuum his Mustang
6 - Use my excess wireless equipment ($120 value) and rewire his crappy home network
7 - 2 pounds of black licorice (he can't get enough of this stuff)
8 - (1) 4" x 6" full colour high gloss print of the two of us fishing

Those are my ideas... Thoughts anyone?

I guess I'm a kitsune... Not sure if images can or can't show up. Thought it was a fun lil quiz.

Though they rarely caused mankind any serious harm, these Japanese fox spirits known as kitsune were well known for playing tricks on people and could be a real nuisance. They possessed the ability to transform into any creature, though they would often retain their fox tail. One could easily determine the age and level of maturity of a kitsune by counting it's tails; An immature, rambunctious kitsune would have very few tails, while a wise and powerful one would have as many as nine.As a kitsune, you are clever, sensual, beautiful, mysterious and effeminate (even if you are a guy). You are also somewhat sneaky and like to pull pranks on people, but otherwise you are very pleasurable to be around.

Okay, I couldn't stay away. I'm back in EQ2 with my necromouser. Lots of neat changes since I last played. Another starter town too.

Well, whenever my parents ask me to join them for something, I can only expect some type of announcement. This is what I learned today:

- My father's two hernia and 'other' were not what they thought they were
- Said ailments were found out to be cancer
- It is estimated they are benign
- I will know for sure sometime in the next 5 days

I'm not freaking out a lot about this, my father has had a liver transplant before and has two grooves in his skull from missed sniper bullets when he was in Vietnam as a 101st Combat Medic. He's a tough bastard, this I know. It is what I keep telling myself to calm my nerves. Still don't know what to get him for Father's Day this year.

Went to doctors a few days back, kept wobbling when I stood up and I couldn't hear anything. I got a sinus infection and an infection in both ears. That'll teach me to go outside more often!

Okay, last Friday, almost cried at work, here is why ( I love being able to bitch on this site about work! ):

I get email at 2:00 on Friday from boss, "Install new tape drive in backup server."

Backup server has 4 tape drives, 3 of which were functioning. They thought a new tape drive would fix this problem.

What I was not told: Admin of machine did not want anyone to touch machine till Tuesday.

I spent an hour trying to get an old ass server to see the new tape drive. No luck. Said admin comes in, "WTF?!" so I tell her what I was told to do. She goes to our boss, "WTF?!" He's adamant on getting that thing working. We try for ten minutes, then go "Eh, reboot the sucker, 3 is better than nothing."

Reboot....2 of 4 drives on the RAID 5 array for the system fail at the same time. Reboot, maybe it was a fluke (not likely, but I can hope!)... Still dead.

I almost cried at this point. I'm not sure if it was cause the backup server died...or because I was told to do something against the recomendations of another and not told of this...or because I would have to pull a rabbit out of my ass to make a backup server again...

Now, one conference call to my boss with the other admin (she works nights), the department directory and myself, I suggest using a server that was a lil old, but no where NEAR as old as the piece of junk the old thing was running, and setting it up for the job.

3 hours of parts scrounging, tape daisy-chaning, rack mounting, restaging and other fun crap, I have a working backup server with...TADA, four fucking tape drives again.

I was told last time the old server went down it took them 3 days to fix it.

Perhaps I bitch too much about work?

Taking a poll here, sort of. I am debating offering to sell prints of my pictures, but I don't know if any of them muster up to that level of quality. Can I get some input? And a table dance?

My apologies for the postings in my Scraps yesterday. I was too excited and did not think before posting. I admit, I am a dumbass. ;p

Oh, and I will not pay for any shrink visits anyone may have had to attend due to the pictures.... >.>

Today I felt I needed some piercings again. So I went, and got six cock piercings at once. I have pictures of this in my scraps if you want to see. Putting six needles through a dick causes it to shrink and try to hide. Imagine that. :P

Here's how it went. I called up, asked if they'd do it. I went in, signed stuff and paid them. Followed a very pretty woman who would be putting sharp objects into my penis into a back room. Dropped my pants, she got ready.

Here's the fun part, I watched her push every single needle through. She had no assistants, so I held my own dick out as she pushed the new bars in. It took roughly ten minutes (my hand got cramped from holding myself out). It was done, I now have six bars in my peener!

Enjoy the pics. ;p


PS - Someone pointed out that having the piccies up might not be the 'best idea', heh. Note me if you want a copy. :P

 gothicskunk sez:
In your journal, write three things about yourself. It could be something about your personal history, characteristics, whatever, just as long as it's about YOU.

Two of the things you tell MUST be truthful
The other MUST be a lie.

But don't mention which is which. ;)

1. I currently have six cock rings
2. I like to masturbate while upside down
3. I occasionally drink Absinthe

There ya go, have at it.

PS - More new stuff in scraps.
