Speaking of Awesome MN Senators-Al Franken on Net Neutrality
Posted 14 years agoIf you missed my last entry, you should go read it: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2315693/ in there, I mentioned that I'm proud of our democratic leaders in this state, and speak of the devil, another one of them just made another speech to make me proud. So here is Al Franken, and his latest push for preserving Net Neutrality: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/timot....._b_857978.html
Steve Simon on proposal to outlaw Gay Marriage in MN
Posted 14 years agoThis needs to be seen. I'm real proud of a lot of our Democratic senators and representatives here in MN, it's just a shame that the GOP feels the need to keep forcing issues like this.

Obama owns Bush with 1337th tweet.
Posted 14 years agoIf anyone remembers, May 1st, 2003, Bush tried to cash in on the historic day of the announcement of Hitler's death with his own "Mission Accomplished" speech. Obama just showed him how it's really done.
Bin Laden killed, May 1, 2011.

Geno's a fucking tool
Posted 14 years agoSo I got two phonecalls this morning, one from a friend who said Geno had called him demanding my phone number. He knew better than to give it to him, of course... then I got a call from the police department, saying I needed to call them about "an incident."
It seems that geno went and cried to them about me asking for the money back I had paid for next month's internet, wanted them to tell me to back off and that I had no proof of claim to it. Of course it's a civil matter and not their problem, but I still got the phonecall and had to make a statement for their report.
Incidentally, this phonecall interrupted a call to my lawyer, about holding Geno responsible for that plus the cost of all the other things of mine he's taken or consumed in excess without asking, as I had promised him I would do if he refused to just give me back the 20 I was asking a couple days ago, and I hadn't brought it up again since he ignored that. It's only a couple hundred bucks worth of stuff, but it's more about making good on that promise and putting the pressure on to make him back off and stop trying to fuck with me. After he stole and sold all of Dale's stuff while Dale moved out, I need him to know I mean business, and any attempt to do the same to me will not go unpunished.
Dale has his own way of dealing with things, and I wouldn't want to be Geno if those two ever meet again.
Geno is now blocked from my FA, for the obvious reasons, and he's going to be b& from a lot more than that if he tries anything stupid after his last illegal stunt.

so umm, yeah, moving out...
Posted 14 years agoThis shit is about to end.
One way or another, the situation here is about to change, because I am done with Geno's bullshit. I'm not sure how exactly it's going to end up panning out, but most likely something like this. I'm going to be moving out soon and finding another place in the cities, where I won't have to deal with the urge to strangle Geno every day. I'm fed up with it, and the little prick has the gall to think he can start a war with me, like he makes the rules around here, when he's already been told he needs to leave.
I remember about 3 months ago, he came crying to me, begging me to talk to Jackal on his behalf to let him stay here, after he was told his lease wasn't being renewed. He made all kinds of promises, that he would start cleaning up after himself, treating others fairly, not hoarding house resources, stop fucking with my home network, and all of this shit. I didn't believe one word of his "changed man" BS, because I know him better than that, in fact, it was kind of insulting, given his reputation, and knowing he was lying through his teeth the entire sob story. Sure enough, nothing at all changed. He continued to leave his mess spread out around the house, and especially the kitchen, he continued to eat my food and not replace it, to hoard common resources, and to fuck with the network. In fact, no fewer than 5 times in the last 3 months (no exaggeration) he has attempted to commandeer the home network by installing his own broken router between the modem and good router, thereby breaking the network, because his router didn't work for anything but his own private wireless hotspot. Fixman and I have gotten extremely tired of telling him, repeatedly, to take it down and stop fucking with the network, and each time, he has begrudgingly agreed, only to put it back up again a few weeks later, thinking we won't notice that the internet doesn't work again.
And so we come to the recent events, the tipping point, if you will... after he put that bad router in the network the other night, again, everything broke, again. He wasn't home, and Raven was sleeping, so I didn't want to disturb her by going down there to remove it myself, so I left him a note, asking him again to take it down and stop breaking our network. He responded with a note of his own saying that since the account was in his name, he made the rules, and he was blocking me from accessing the internet. So I pulled him aside to talk, and he ran away to hide in Raven's room so I couldn't talk to him without disturbing her, the same BS he always pulls... I'm sick of it.
So I intercepted him later as he was coming in the house, and blocked him from running downstairs. I reminded him that since he didn't have a lease and wasn't supposed to be living here anymore, he wasn't supposed to be making any rules, and I was going to have to take it up with Jackal if he refused to talk to me and fix the situation. He then lies to me again, and says that Jackal agreed to let him stay now, and that I couldn't do anything about it, and if I tried anything, he'd call the cops on me and tell them I was breaking his stuff. I pointed out that was a bad idea, considering the fact he was already in trouble with the law, and with all of the other stuff I had on him, he'd only succeed in helping me make his life a living hell. I had to leave the house to avoid strangling him, and now am typing this entry up on a friend's computer, because my phone is not working.
Raven, of course, backs Geno, like she always does, the two of them covering for each other for their criminal conduct against another former tenant, as well, and since they're both involved in all that shit, of course they're going go cover for each other at home, too. Meanwhile, Raven is all but in bed with Jackal, so of course she has his ear, yet it still surprised me when he backed their position, saying they wanted me out. Those two, who trash the house, stir up drama, get in trouble with the law, and Geno who never pays his rent, hoards house resources, eats everyone's food, etc... and he's backing THEM, while I always pay my rent on time, always clean up after myself, and frequently clean up after everyone else. It still came as a surprise, and felt like a stab in the back. So, unless he reverses his stance on the matter in the near future, I'm leaving. I'm done with this shit. I don't have the money to move, or anywhere to go just yet, but regardless, I'm going to make it happen, because I am not letting those two fuck up my life the way they fucked up their own.

Posted 14 years agoIf how great a game is, is rated by how many times you come back to it and how many hours you spend playing it after you first beat it, then STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl is the best game ever made.
Things that need doing!
Posted 14 years ago1) fix printer and refill toner cartridge.
2) print off new business cards and resumes
3) get a working car :<
4) find a goddamn job. I mean seriously.
5) move back to the cities, because that job almost certainly won't be out here.

Stuff... and things... and awesome.
Posted 14 years agoSo, what's new.... well, for starters, I decided to forgo the furmeet this week, and with the money saved from that, and from selling the saddlebags for the kawi, I was able to buy a nice set of disc golf discs... http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5505535/ I plan to go out a lot this summer with those, and get some exercise that way.
I'm wanting to customize the label on the destroyer, since the thing is very well broken in and quite faded, I figured I'd strip the label off with some acetone and then stencil and dye it. I'm a bit undecided on the design, though... given the disc is called the Destroyer, I was considering a silhouette of a Star Destroyer as a design, but a good graphic to use for that was proving hard to find... so I'm kinda torn between the Imperial logo, http://xaonon.dyndns.org/logos/star.....s/imperial.png the Punisher logo http://pickyourdisc.com/zencart/ind.....7983e99ce3754b and, because it's tie-die colors, Jimi Hendrix http://pickyourdisc.com/zencart/ind.....7983e99ce3754b let me know what you guys think!
in other news,
jollyzjackal broke the Capri, so I won't be buying that... still trying to sell the kawi, and looking for a replacement for my car. Alternatively, I'll just sell my car and be done with it, maybe trade it for a nice backpack to take on the bike.
now for the awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTqh0ju5Z2o
Watch this in HD, it's a must! I really want that camera.... and a mountain bike, but mostly the camera, would mount it on my motorcycle. Anyhow, that guy is fucking flying, totally badass, and I would have killed myself multiple times doing that... especially at 3:40, they would have been picking up little pieces of me from the trees... gives me an adrenaline rush just watching that. @..@

The Capitalist States of Americorp
Posted 14 years agoWhile I'm tempted to say that this is all that needs to be said... it's not. there's a lot that needs to be said, some of which I've said before, and all of which I can't possibly hope to cover in any reasonable period of time, so I'll just leave it at this: http://motherjones.com/politics/201.....ca-chart-graph
This is why you will never hear me spouting unsubstantiated patriotic bullshit about this country being great, and call me unamerican if you like, but I'd rather be unamerican than a delusional, misguided tool to be used by the system and discarded like a pawn.
EDIT:
One more thing... The Christian Right, is neither. Conservative Christians are the biggest hypocrisy in history.
It is morally and theologically impossible to follow the teachings of a brown-skinned liberal socialist pacifist who helped the poor and healed the sick, while being a greedy, racist, judgmental, capitalist who wages war for oil and exploits the poor and sick for personal gain. Jesus was everything that conservatives hate. If you're a conservative who thinks otherwise, then you're deluding yourself.
90% of the so-called "Christians" in this country, aren't. Because capitalism and Christianity are completely incompatible. Jesus condemned capitalism, so if you're one of the right-wing conservatives claiming you answer to a higher power, I'm calling you out on your bullshit. It's insulting to me.

Moral dilemma of the unemployed poor
Posted 14 years agoSo I haven't had a single solid lead on a job opening in my field since my insurance company helped screw me out of my last one in September.
Pretty much the only job leads I've had have been the countless solicitations for interviews or resumes from the insurance companies. They want to pay me pocket change to help fuck over other people while they continue to fuck me.
No way am I that desperate, though I'll be getting close to that soon as I run out of unemployment benefits in the near future... talk about adding insult to injury.

Posted 14 years agoto go to snowpocalypse.
mainly because it was looking like I'd have someone pay me back the money they owed for past rides in return for a ride this week... and I already made food to bring with and got ready and everything before he bailed.
So I'll be there in a couple hours, probably... bringing food... nordic sushi.

Posted 14 years agothe nasty letters I'm getting from the hospital about the money they want from me, are *scary!* they're threatening to hurt my credit rating!

If I cared about my credit rating, it would mean I was doing stupid things like living on borrowed money... you know, stuff that irresponsible rich people do.
So yeah, they're going to hurt my ability to buy stuff with loans that I can't afford in the first place. whoopty fuckin do.

And so begins the sucky part of life.
Posted 14 years agoSo, it turns out that I've developed an allergy to eggs... which had been my primary source of cheap protein before... sop there goes that.
Incidentally, I've ALSO become lactose-intolerant recently, so my secondary source of cheap protein, dairy, is also now out of the equation.
So... it's going to be a lot harder for me to get the protein i need now, without breaking the bank... but it's a small price to pay, to not feel like death all the time.
What's slightly more concerning, however, is the reaction I seem to have now to caffeine or alcohol in any quantity... only recently, in the last month, any cola, energy drinks, or beer... even a little bit... is giving me heart palpitations. I've had to cut it out entirely, leaving half a case of delicious, expensive German lager in the fridge untouched. This makes me very, very sad. :<
I seem to have reached the point in my life, where my body is telling me in no uncertain terms, you're going to die... knock this shit off. I don't have much choice but to listen anymore.
