OH Yeah, I nearly forgot
General | Posted 15 years agoComing soon... probably as soon as I can get the car out of the garage...
THE CAMARO CAM! Get a Camaro's eye view of being driven like a lunatic! I snagged a nice cheap little digital camera for $29 perfect for mounting in the grille. Cheap enough so that if something happens to the camera like it falls off it's no big loss.

Keepin' it REAL
General | Posted 15 years agoOne thing I gotta stress... I may not always be NICE... but I am ALWAYS REAL.
If I don't like something, I'm gonna say it. I give people a bit of respect to show faith in them that maybe they are a good person and that respect grows unless they begin doing things to take the respect back. Once I lose respect for someone it's either really hard to regain it... or flat out im-fuckin-possible.
And if you aint down with that... I got two words for ya... SUCK IT! Like my wallet says... "Lone Wolf. No club."

Nutcracker
General | Posted 15 years agoKnow what really sucks?
Closing a cash register on your nuts.
Put a hell of a damper on my day and I didn't think it was near as funny as the rest of the people who saw it happen.

Even MORE 9 things once again!
General | Posted 15 years agoTonight we'll explore Cat. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4081922/
9 facts about this feisty femme fatale.
#1 Cat is like a sister to Sierra. They're very close as friends. Either would give their lives to help the other and probably could be caught watching a flick eating ice cream. Trust me, it wouldn't be any of those Twilight movies.
#2 Cat fought Demonique once with a little side bet. Demonique seemed to be unstoppable, and Cat wanted to end that so the bet was, the loser had to retire. Unfortunately things didn't go according to plan and Demonique won that fight, being a woman true to her word she retired.
#3 Cat is a good business woman. She's smart and well focused. She is/was the leader of the little team of the Razor's Edge. She tends to wear clothing that makes her look like "That hot seceretary from the temp agency" or "The hot substitute teacher"
#4 They call her Cat because her name is Cathy.
$5 Cat is playful and warm mannered. One of her favorite games is "pounce" where she'll ambush her friends in a playful attack, and if the pounce fails it's either a chase... or a wrestling match. She's bigger than Sierra, and quite strong. So she's tough to beat. One of her favorite "targets" is 'Slide because no matter how hard she tackles him he doesn't go down. She also LOVES to pounce Sierra which turns into a hurricane of orange and... lioness colored... fur and stripes.
#6 Cat is the one woman Sierra has met that she was never able to beat in a fight. Sierra made a bet with Demonique during a title fight that if Sierra wins the title, Cat would be welcomed back to the sport by Dem. Sierra wins, and Cat comes out of retirement and promptly works her way up to take the title from Sierra. That put a HUGE strain on their friendship, and Sierra never wins that title back. She had to change weight classes.
#7 Cat has a stronger potenial for he mystic arts than Sierra.
#8 She loves movies, and cries at almost every movie she goes to, often over the silliest things.
#9 She comes off as a little bit of a ditz. But she's not a ditz. She chooses to be young at heart because in her line of work in law enforcement she sees a lot of people who died without much chance to be youg, and vows if she meets her end, she'll have gone out having had a happy and fun life.

EVEN MORE 9 things.
General | Posted 15 years agoI'm pretty much gonna keep doing this until I'm bored with it.
This time it's Gravedigger: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2863735/
#1 Gravedigger is one result of an experiment to create a soldier that could be brought back from the dead. Demonique wants to use them to land a military contract to not only provide her with even more wealth as well as a way into the government where she can have even more "freedom to do what I wish". It's the same experiment that created Landslide, only Gravedigger is a failure while Landslide is a huge success. Only Landslide has a code of honor, and a good heart. Gravedigger came back to life, with special abilities. But his body didn't heal, and the cells all died. He began to rot, only he had no scent and never dried up. His only odor was the scent of mildew.
#2: He's very intelligent. He's a gifted engineer and when he realized his body was dead he studied anatomy and biology.He got the name Gravedigger because he's always digging into fresh graves to apply to his body either to make himself bigger and stronger or to replace something that sort of... fell off. He also robs salvage yards and construction yards scavenging for ways to make his body more durable.
#3 His body is infested with flying insects that lay their eggs under a living person's skin with a single sting. Under the skin the maggots grow extremely fast and release a poison that deadens the pain of being eaten alive from the inside out. Eventually it can leave someone paralyzed. He can release them to any target at will.
#4 He is easy to defeat. Extreme heat or cold, fire, explosions, but he will simply release his spirit and posess a fresh corpse and rebuild himself. Beating him is easy. Destroying him is hard.
#5 He always chooses some sort of rodent or marsupial for a body. He doesn't even remember what species he was before.
#6 He has no vocal cords. He has a speaker in his mouth, just open it and it speaks.
#7 He is jealous of anyone alive because they can eat. He can't.
#8 He's always building on to himself, and one time reached a height of 12 feet and almost a half ton of rotting flesh and machinery.
#9 He can't run. He moves slowly because he keeps falling apart. Rotting muscles tear and brittle bones break so even though he's intimidating and unkillable he is surprisingly fragile.

And 9 things... YET AGAIN!
General | Posted 15 years agoBored. Again. Still. Sorta.
So how about 9 facts about Prowl: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4877003/
#1 Prowl doesn't have some sort of strange spandex fettish. He wears the types of clothes he does for a reason. While he's a wicked fighter, it's not the job he's sent to do most often. As a kid Prowl idolized Houdini and other escape artists and illusionists, and trained himself to be the same as them. As a result along with training in martial arts his whole life he can get into pretty much anything or anywhere. He's often sent in ahead to scout oout situations and gather intel. Often it means having to slip in and out of places silently and in a hurry. Those running/biking shorts and T shirt of muscle shirt isn't as likely to snag and give him full freedom of movement. He doesn't carry a gun, not because he doesn't know how to use it but because they tend to make a lot of noise like when you're going through a ventialtion duct. Plus he hates using guns, one thing he'd NEVER do is take a life, unless it was to save more.
#2 Prowl was once married and even had a kid. When he had a normal identity he traveled the world learning every form of martial arts he could. Full time. 10 to 12 hours a day. But in Mexico he fell in honest to goodness love. Signed on as a luche libre wrestler, settled down and had a baby girl. Being the ultimate health nut, they were out riding their bikes and were mowed down by a drunk driver. Prowl's body being conditioned and his reflexes nearly superhuman he was able to brace and survive. His family wasn't so lucky. Since that happened he masks his grief by being a joker. He also has a desperate fear of being alone. Years later when Landslide has gone rogue and Sierra is murdered he got a depression fueled tunnel vision, not seeing he was surrounded by friends he thought he was alone. All that kept him together was knowing that while 'Slide was rogue, he still loved Sierra and would make sure those who killed her would suffer horribly. He got to see 'Slide one time after Sierra was killed.
'Slide: "You're not coming, and don't try to stop me."
Prowl: "I don't intend to. Just promise me that they'll pay... and promise you'll come back safe."
'Slide didn't know how to answer that, so he just drove off to do what must be done. He couldn't come back safe... but he DID manage to get Sierra back to the land of the living.
#3 From his late teens Prowl traveled the world learning new forms of martial arts any chance he could. He'd settle down and spend all day conditioning and learning. How did he do this and not go hungry or homeless? He became a cat burglar! Break in and steal some jewelry here, a valuable artifact there, turn it in to the black market for a profit andhe lived pretty damned good. Savate, Kenpo, Wing Chun, Sambo, Jiu Jitsu, Labokatau, and even high flying Japanese and Mexican wrestling all make up his skills and physical conditioning. On top of that he'd take up dance, part because it's great for balance and because the chicks are totally hot! Gymnastics became second nature. His level of flexibility rivals that of ferrets.
#4 While he looks like a pretty boy he's no cream puff. He knows how to take a hit and has the conditioning to take a lot of abuse. If he can handle being bopped around by Landslide, there isn't much he couldn't take. He's a lot stronger than he looks because all of his training not only got his muscle density (note DENSITY) way up, he has a good knowledge of leverage and inirtia and how to apply it, and counter it. Being as flexible as he is gives him an advantage like a drunk in a fight has. Hard to hurt a water bed by punching it. He just rolls with the punches. He's applied his resilience to his fighting careers, boxing, kickboxing, MMA, and so on.
#5 He's a big kid. While a lot of his clowning around is just to cover up that deep inside he's deeply wounded he DOES enjoy entertaining people. He'll clown around, crack jokes, and uses a lot of physical human like kicking himself in the back of the head and doing a flip landing on his butt and reacting like he thought someone else did it.
#6 While Landslide has his 1300 horsepower Camaro, Prowl actually has the quickest and possibly the fastest vehicle in the fleet. And 'Slide hasn't touched it. Prowl owns a turbocharged Suzuki Hayabusa with all the tricks you can throw at it. It was built for him by his sister, Sierra. All Prowl could figure out to do with a screwdriver is to use it to clean his ears out. Flatout driving that Suzuki requires the skill and reaction time of a super sonic fighter pilot to avoid becoming fender ketchup.
#7 Adopted! Prowl and his sister Sierra, were both adopted by the same folks from the same orphanage. Sierra found out all about her biological family but there was nothing left for Prowl to find out. It does kind of haunt him, but his adopted parents were still always momma and poppa to him.
#8 Prowl is the worst kind of health nut. Sure, being healthy is a good thing and we could all be more healthy but he takes it to extremes. That's why nobody lets him cook. He makes everything a physical challenge, just because often it's so much fun to him to try and leap over this thing or move that thing or how long he can take being zapped by 'Slide with the tazer... which has nothing to do with getting healthier... just to see if he can do it. "You rewired this one... didn't you..."
He knows just how much caloric reserves he needs. He's not super lean, he's got a little bit of fat because that's what you want to burn and store water.
#9 While often misguided his heart is ALWAYS in the right place. All he wants is to help and be useful, even if he does get annoying at times. Perhaps it's a byproduct of feeling so helpless when he lost his family. He's the typical "Buddy" type of friend. If you're feeling down he'll work to bring you up. If you're in trouble he'll put his life on the line to save you. He never forgets a birthday. And if you need to get laid he'll find someone, and make sure they're CLEAN!

My Kasperky has detected several threats, and when I click the quarentine button it asks what file to open off my desktop... do I create a new folder to put them in then delete it or what? I'm confused... anyone know what I do?

Anxiety
General | Posted 15 years agoNot sure why but I feel a great deal of nervousness and anxiety for some reason.
MORE 9 things...
General | Posted 15 years agoNot because I was tagged... but because I'm bored.
So here are 9 more facts about one of my characters. This time I choose my oldest and most wildly developed character, Landslide. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3810335/
#1 Landslide is a big GEEK. In the last attempt I made at writing a novel he got there because he was a getwaway driver for hire and got in over his head and the employer had him... silenced. Totured to death by having each individual vertibret poped like a peanut, both arms ripped off, and head crushed. He was doing it all to be a vigilante, small time criminals he'd help so he could establish a good reputation as a criminal, and the BAD guys, you know... rapists or murderers... he'd arrange for them to be caught. By night, getaway driver for hire and by day a bored off his ass mechanic.
#2 He is, literally, a war machine. When he was reanimated as a cyborg (So he is technically undead I guess) his entire design was that for a war application. A sort of super soldier. Which bothers him because he is really a gentle natured man. He doesn't like hurting people... unless the hurt his car. He can lift and carry over his head 4 tons, and can still walk. All the major arteries in his neck are re-routed into his metal vertibrets so they can't be sliced, and he has a life support system that consists of a concentraded oxygenator (Yeah, totally fictional. Sue me.) and a spare heart. The fluid in his skull around his brain is a special synthetic fluid that allows him to sustain incredible impacts without his brain bouncing around his skull. His eyes can see full spectrum light. He can see in infra red, full spectrum, and can even use a sort of ultra sonic vision. If he applies them all at once he can see almost through walls. There is also a built in targeting systm plus a failsafe system where if his brain function stops a computer will take over and he will.... pretty much kill anything and everything tht moves. The system does seek out famliar faces stored in his memory as friends and will seek some sort of guidance from them. He also has an I-pod built into his skull.
His arms are made from a system I researched call Fluidic Muscle. Under those bands that act as his skin (And also prevents over balooning of the muscle and protect from punctures) he'd look a lot like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7KIp7A8iqs
#3 He is the grim reapers main man. He can't die until he performs some specific task in life. He has no idea what it is, and nobody is telling. If he does happen to die and his system recognizes a friend who keeps him from turning into a homocidal zombie cyborg... the cat will come back the very next day even though he was a goner. He just couldn't stay away.
and usually he's pretty pissed about it.
#4 He likes to cook. And he fries EVERYTHING. Even ice cream.
#5 He can't swim. All that metal makes him sink like a stone. Because of that he's terrified of large bodies of water. He's not afraid to die, in fact he looks forward to the day he does, but even with a system that can pull the oxygen out of water and keep him alive it's still incredibly unpleasant. His lungs still starve for air and eventually he'll still try to inhale, taking in water. The system isn't nearly as effective as his organic lungs so he gets weak and might not be able to get himself to land.
#6 While he works with some of the best fighters in the world, who help teach him tricks to becoming better, he still has a very effective improvisational fighting style that seems to catch even the most skilled opposition off guard. His brute strength, insanity based fighting tactics, and the speed those hydraulic arms can swing with (Lock the valve bodies to build pressure and suddenly release means his 540 pound mass and the inirtia of a whip even blocking a punch doesn't do any good) he's quite formidable. And if all else fails he has equalizers.
#7 He's a weapons nut, and in true "rejected boyscout fashion" he's ALWAYS prepared. Batman himself isn't as prepared as 'Slide is. 'Slide is perfectly prepared for a long winded WAR. "Lets see, what do I got here. I got a BIG FUCKIN' GUN! A backup gun. A backup-backup gun. Some garroting wire. A few frag grenades. A few incindiary grenades. A few pounds of plastic explosives. A couple whips made from chainsaw blades. A big knife, a few smaller knives, and some throwing knives. Nice selection of knuckle dusters. A couple sawed off shot guns slung beneith my arms under my coat. A canister of nasty smelling super condensed fart gas. WD 40 (In case I gotta freshen up). Duct tape. And an exploding cigar... hey... where's the exploding cigar?"
*Explosion in the next room followed by a lot of very foul language. "Carc..."
And that's just what he would have on his person. YOu should see the goodies in his car.
#8 'Slide actually had a relationship with Sierra's worst enemy for a while. He was in love with Sierra but was forced to be with Demonique because she could sense his supernatural sensitivity and wanted to study it. Studying him was just the cherry on the sundea. Naturally when she had him killed he came back, and didn't waste any time getting to Sierra for help. Took him a while to gather the courage to let her know how he felt.
#9 Landslide originally as a character wasn't a furry. He was a lycanthrope, a human who could take on the likeness of any of his 7 totem spirits. The common housecat you see here (Based on my sister's cat who was BIG and meaner than shit) he chose as his usual form because it's the most balanced and less wild natured.

His arms are made from a system I researched call Fluidic Muscle. Under those bands that act as his skin (And also prevents over balooning of the muscle and protect from punctures) he'd look a lot like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7KIp7A8iqs
#3 He is the grim reapers main man. He can't die until he performs some specific task in life. He has no idea what it is, and nobody is telling. If he does happen to die and his system recognizes a friend who keeps him from turning into a homocidal zombie cyborg... the cat will come back the very next day even though he was a goner. He just couldn't stay away.
and usually he's pretty pissed about it.
#4 He likes to cook. And he fries EVERYTHING. Even ice cream.
#5 He can't swim. All that metal makes him sink like a stone. Because of that he's terrified of large bodies of water. He's not afraid to die, in fact he looks forward to the day he does, but even with a system that can pull the oxygen out of water and keep him alive it's still incredibly unpleasant. His lungs still starve for air and eventually he'll still try to inhale, taking in water. The system isn't nearly as effective as his organic lungs so he gets weak and might not be able to get himself to land.
#6 While he works with some of the best fighters in the world, who help teach him tricks to becoming better, he still has a very effective improvisational fighting style that seems to catch even the most skilled opposition off guard. His brute strength, insanity based fighting tactics, and the speed those hydraulic arms can swing with (Lock the valve bodies to build pressure and suddenly release means his 540 pound mass and the inirtia of a whip even blocking a punch doesn't do any good) he's quite formidable. And if all else fails he has equalizers.
#7 He's a weapons nut, and in true "rejected boyscout fashion" he's ALWAYS prepared. Batman himself isn't as prepared as 'Slide is. 'Slide is perfectly prepared for a long winded WAR. "Lets see, what do I got here. I got a BIG FUCKIN' GUN! A backup gun. A backup-backup gun. Some garroting wire. A few frag grenades. A few incindiary grenades. A few pounds of plastic explosives. A couple whips made from chainsaw blades. A big knife, a few smaller knives, and some throwing knives. Nice selection of knuckle dusters. A couple sawed off shot guns slung beneith my arms under my coat. A canister of nasty smelling super condensed fart gas. WD 40 (In case I gotta freshen up). Duct tape. And an exploding cigar... hey... where's the exploding cigar?"
*Explosion in the next room followed by a lot of very foul language. "Carc..."
And that's just what he would have on his person. YOu should see the goodies in his car.
#8 'Slide actually had a relationship with Sierra's worst enemy for a while. He was in love with Sierra but was forced to be with Demonique because she could sense his supernatural sensitivity and wanted to study it. Studying him was just the cherry on the sundea. Naturally when she had him killed he came back, and didn't waste any time getting to Sierra for help. Took him a while to gather the courage to let her know how he felt.
#9 Landslide originally as a character wasn't a furry. He was a lycanthrope, a human who could take on the likeness of any of his 7 totem spirits. The common housecat you see here (Based on my sister's cat who was BIG and meaner than shit) he chose as his usual form because it's the most balanced and less wild natured.
Know what really grinds my gears?
General | Posted 15 years agoIt's really cool when I read that it's someone's birthday. It's fun to read how their birthday went well.
But...
Why do people insist on saying, in an online journal or forum or something public, "It's my birthday, here's what you can get for me!" as if we're all obligated to do something.
Now, a lot of people here are friends, and I talk about birthday stuff with them through notes or Email. Both for my own birthday or theirs. But I don't parade my birthday wishes and desires in public. Might as well go around and telling strangers who look at me "Hello, it's my birthday and here's what I want for my birthday!"
I admit I'm a pretty self centered person but SHEEEIIIIIIIIIT...

Didn't see that coming
General | Posted 15 years agoSupport your Habitat for Humanity place, do-it-yerselfers. Those places are not only FUN to go through, but you'd be amazed what you can find.
Today we went looking for something. Mom needed a birthday gift. I primised I'd help her get what she wanted, we didn't know if she preferred a bed or a new front door or what. So today we went out to decide and BOY did we have fun!
Habitat for Humanity is a lot like GoodWill or something like that. But it's more than just furnature. It's like a used Home Depot. Sometimes before a house is tore down they gut it, take out the stuff that's still good. Say a house burns down but has brand new triple pane windows, those get yanked out and gioven to a place like Habitat for Humanity. Everything, complete bathroom fixtures, hot tubs, toilets (ew), entire lighting systems, patio doors, interior and exterior doors, kitchen cabinets and stoves and fridges, complete sets of windows complete with rails and frames.
Since it's a charity they also get donations from scratch n dent sections from Home Depot and Lowes and such. When we walked in we checked out the beds, found mom a NICE antique headboard. $15. I found a bathtub so I can soak (Sometimes soaking in a hot bath is so much better on joints than a shower. Especially if standing up hurts) I got a DEEP iron bath tub for $40.
A set of REALLY nice decorative floor tiles for $1.50 each (35 of them, but we put them back. Not thick enough in our opinion)
But the best part came at the end. Lowes just donated a truck full of heavy steel security front doors with decorative glass. Real nice and very well insulated. We found one with this nice stained glass (Well, not stained glass but frosted, tinted, and textured glass window)
New from Lowe's? $600. Our price because the door frames they came with were broken? $250. We don't need the frame, the door itself wasn't damaged.
How about black marble floor tile, good 1/4 inch thick stuff, with gold foil and flecks for $3.00 each. Price new... $11 each.
Fancy offce chair, new at WalMart $150. Used from Habitat for Humanity... $30.
Plus we start getting our new roofs and a new shed this week. Maybe even tomorrow. We had a BIG hail storm last year and the insurance company is paying in full for a new roof on the house, garage, small shed, and completely replacing the tin shed.
Good year to be a house.

Curiouser and curiouser said Alice... or something
General | Posted 15 years agoBut my name aint Alice.
So I decide to put on a game. My X Box 360 is acting odd, sometimes wont close the tray and such. I think it's dying. So I lean forward and kneel on the bed to dink around with it and... I can't straighten my leg. I tried "walking it off" but... that's kind of hard to with your your leg bent at an acute angle. Managed to force it somewhat straight and got a hot pad on it.
So... what can this mean... I know my knee gets sore and I suffer a lot of problems with a massive over production of bone spurs and cartilage in my body tends to disappear. I hope I don't need a knee replacement. This isn't a good time.
A few years ago I had a knee surgery to remove a fish hook shaped bone spur from my other knee and they X Rayed both knees and they said they were healthy for a man my size. It's natural when you spent a big part of your life at well over 300 pounds to have a bit of wear, but the doc liked how the joints look.
Maybe I'll be lucky and it's just a bursitis or some other oddly and suddenly inflamatory bit. In the meantime I'm going to lay here and ponder what the chances of making it to the bathroom are considering that's where I left my fucking cane...

General | Posted 15 years agoIf a roast is JUST coming out of the oven and they drop it... don't try and catch it. Fucking hot. Ow. Sunnybeaches.
Hands will be sore for a couple days. But I have hands of asbestos so it's not even a second degree burn. Just a bit red around the fingers and I can feel everything all... super... sensitive. I can feel the DUST in the AIR.

GTR... not so hot actually.
General | Posted 15 years agohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHVg3YX5tQo&feature=player_embedded Nissan GTR at 2:30
Is it me, or does the Nissan GTR look like what you'd get if an Audi designer was given a ruphie by a Nissan employer, raped, given crack, and told to design them a car. It looks like a funky Audi.
But we gotta forgive the looks because if you ask ANY Nissan lover:
"Yeah, the GTR looks like that because Nissan spent a BILLION hours in the wind tunnels, but it was so aerodynamic they needed to use the for the SPACE SHUTTLE for ANOTHER billion hours! The GTR is the bestest most awesomest handling car in the entire universe. The Nissan GTR is so fast it can blow away a Bugattie Veyron even if you take six spark plugs out of the GTR. The GTR is SO ADVANCED that ALIENS designed it! Then Nissan made it faster and the aliens got mad and left. We will elect a GTR president of the world and it will ddestroy all nations with just the pressure of it's exhaust! The GTR is so perfect it will put every single car company out of business and everyone in the world will buy GTRs. I married a GTR and we have three kids together! It did not miss the right hand turn, it drove up the hill to go back to it's alien home and then CHANGED IT'S MIND at the last second. Even after stopping when it did it still set a world record that will NEVER EVER EVER EVER be beated! Until a Corvette Z06 comes along... those older model Corvette Z06 seems to beat GTR times. And you can get the Z06 cheaper... and the Z06 is a car people recognize and don't think it's an Audi. BUT THE GTR DOMINATES EVERYTHING!"
In case you didn't know... I don't like the GTR. It's ugly. Yeah, it's fast... but tires wear out at 5000 miles because they're designed to have optimal tire wear at 180 MPH! YEAH, let's go to the gas station for cigarettes... 1t 180 MPH!
Seriously, I hope Nissan has a stupidity recall and wind up having to scrap GTR all together and start their company from the ground up again... just to SHUT the GTR geeks UP.

Left 4 Dead Sacrifice
General | Posted 15 years agoSo, I love my videogames. A couple of my favorites are Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2. Now there's a new level you can download called "The Sacrifice" which is designed where YOU cannot win... but you can save your team by sacrificing youself. I got it in Left 4 Dead 2 where you even play as the original 4 characters. So I'm playing and like it, it's an okay level. You win by sacrificing yourself by running back into the thick of battle.
Then I see, for the first Left 4 Dead The Sacrifice and think, hey, this might be a different version. I mean, in Left 4 Dead 2 the level is modified from the disk, right?
Nope. Turns out both games are the same exact level and same players and everything. Only $5 but still... I wish I knew. I shoulda put more thought inta it.
Still, the games are great and the Sacrifice is a pretty decent. It's a good way to blow off steam after work.
"HEY! You look JUST like the little bitch that got all indignant because we didn't have any frogeye salad and went pissing to the managers who had to pretend to be mad at me. *BANG* and another right up the butt *BANG*"

9 Facts about... Sierra
General | Posted 15 years agoSo I was tagged by
Ktar_Aramee to do the 9 facts meme. The rules are to post 9 facts about the character requested, and then tag 8 people to post the facts of one of their characters. So here we go...
Fact #1 Sierra had been learning martial arts virtually since she could walk. Her father started by teaching her with playing and games. He was afraid that since he ran with biker gangs and was a bouncer at a bar she needed to be safe. He wanted her to be well adjusted and strong. She went to various martial arts schools and mastered many styles. When she was bit by the fighting bug she began competing in any arena she could.
Fact #2 Sierra is very insecure. She has low self esteem. In her mind she knows she is one of the best out there, but her heart doesn't agree. Everything she does is to convince herself as much as anyone else that she's worthwhile. She doesn't really beleive she's attractive or strong or anything. That's part of why she hates pre fight trash talk for events.
Fact #3 Sierra herself ran with a biker gang heavy into criminal activity including drug running. She was addicted to drugs herself. "If I thought it might make me high... up the nose it went." A wakeup call when one of her "sisters" who was hooked on meth had a baby and she watched both the mother and the baby pass away. She kicked the drug habit and left the gang, wanting to try and keep that fate from hitting as many people as she could.
Fact #4 Sierra still has one substance abuse problem. Big Macs from McDonalds. She can't get enough of them.
Fact #5 Sierra can't have children. Aside from the death of the baby in #3 she focuses on being a good example towards children, trying to inspire them and empower them as a way to cope with her inabaility to have a baby. She hides it well, but deep inside it really bothers.
Fact #6 Sierra is a professional boxer really just because it simply appeals to her more. she really can't pinpoint why. But she's fought in just about every type of combat sport. She'll box, kickbox, MMA, wrestle, street fight as long as it doesn't seem like her opponent is at any kind of major disadvantage. If she feels an opponent is too inexperienced or too out of shape she will refuse.
Fact #7 Sierra is mechanically enclined. Being a biker and from a family line of bikers she had to know how to turn a wrench. It's a form of art to her. She gets an old bike and fixes it up. Sometimes she sells it or someitmes she keeps it.
Fact #8 She was adopted. Her parents came from Russia to live the American dream... which in their eyes means "Harleys, leather, beer, and partying". Her folks, like her, couldn't have a child of their own. Even though they were in a biker gang they never wanted her to follow in their footsteps.
Fact #8 Sierra's self taught in almost everything in terms of book learning. Her schools were rough and teachers didn't put forth much effort. She was functionally illiterate until her earl 20s. Every time she overcomes something like that she pushes to use that as a way to help a child to NOT be in the same position. "I have only one ultimate goal in life. To leave this world a better place than when I arrived. Everything else is just a component. When I retire from fighting I hope it will be left a better sport than it was when I found it. Everything I improve on is to be a part of improving the whole world ultimately."
So now I gotta tag me some people... lets see... we'll start with :iconNa... oh wait I don't associate there. Then :iconBa... oh no... I don't associate there either...
Okay then...

Been thinkin'..
General | Posted 15 years agoAbout my writing. Part of me REALLY doesn't want to try again. I know it will only wind up crashing and brurning like all the other tries. Leading to miserable depression and self loathing.
But another part of me wants to try again, make some changes. Leave boxing out for the most part, keep it IN but cut it way down. Make The Razor's Edge more like a benevolent biker club of mercenaries trying to make the world a better place vs a Murder Inc. type of mafia.
I dunno... I'm on the fence...

I... am going... to... prison...
General | Posted 15 years agoTo get my brother in law out... he's being released tomorrow. HEH, some of you actually believed it, didntcha!
We got a letter from him today. He's doing well. He's a good guy when he's not on the drugs.
His cell mate is an interesting sort. BIG black dude named "Scareface". He's got a genuine 100% permanent all carnivorous gold grille put in place of his teeth, with the K9s made particularly long for a vampire look. He's serving life plus 10 years. But they get along. Near their cell is a mark on the floor where many years ago during a riot another inmate was set on fire. Just a shadow, but if you really look you can see the spot.
So, kiddies, behave! Or maybe YOU will share a cell with Scareface.

Top Gear humor
General | Posted 15 years agoSomeone should make a drinking game based on something I notice in top gear.
They like the word cock... because they're British. But they sneak it in a lot. For example, whenever they have a race like the diesel BMW 24 hour race... a sponsorship sticker on the side looks innocent enough, but when they show a front view of the car they open the door and you see COCK. In the episode I'm watching now, they get three cars for 1500 pounds each and do an ice race in France. Not only do you see COQ but Les Bien HAT. One door says TIT TREE. MURDER. In the Botswana special (One of my top favorites) they go on how when honey badgers attack they go for the testicles... and when you look at the map as they show the progress they have a drawing of a badger with hairy balls hanging from its mouth.
It's notable how the British make fun of America's sense of humor being potty humor...
and funny as hell when one gets out a stuffed rooster with an Audi symbol on it because all Audi drivers are cocks.
You wont catch the American Top Gear doing that...
okay we probably will and it might not be as funny because they don't have silly accents.

Wow, idiot Ford driver and got to play with me a tigress
General | Posted 15 years agoBecause I think the Joker said it best when he said "That... which does not kill you only makes you.... stranger."
And Bumblebee hates furries. See? http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers.....action-171385/
Of course... if that was MY Camaro getting whacked with a mallet that fursuit would only be good to keep contain what's left of the wearer.
Last night was rather cool. The Tigress has been getting more into technology. She never really cared about having a computer and was perfectly content with her X Box (The first X Box)
Her new(ish) job allows her to do her work while at home, and it gets pretty boring. New computer led to a webcam which we have talked here and there. She also has a new HD TV and A PS3! Last night we played GTA 4 online together for a bit. Neither one of us know what the hell we're doing in it. We didn't appear to the same places on the map so we wound up having to find each other. "Tanya, where you at?"
"Fuck if I know. What about you?"
"Not sure. How about we just meet at the original Lost clubhouse?"
We meet, get in a car, drive around shooting shit, remembering the good ol' days and my bluetooth headset thing promptly crapped out, so we called it a night. Last thing we were talking about was when we (by we I mean she) was running from the cops bouncing through a field in her beater Camaro and jumped a ditch, totally the car. Vash, it was a 68. I plan to torment her with pics of yours so she can realize what she had)
Got a bit mouthy with a guy today. Very typical "Little man overcompensating by getting the biggest pickup truck with the biggest diesel engine he can get and painting the whole thing fire engine red with all the lights any parts place carries and MUST drive it like a loony toon."
I'm going down 120th, it's snowing and visibility kinda sucked so naturally everyones driving easy. I'm heading for I-25 when the guy flies up my ass, we're not going fast enough so he JUMPS into the right lane gets two cars ahead and cuts off another guy and floors it dow I-25. He was giving that truck everything he had and... hits traffic. I just roll up behind him as he's jumping from lane to lane trying to get somewhere fast. He gets off at 136th, I'm still rigt there, driving calm and safe. On the offramp he stabs the gas and with a black puff of smoke I hear that diesel engine running balls to the wall and... he hits a red light. So I putter up behind him. Light turns green we both turn left and he FLOORS it, roaring and... hit the red light. I putter up behind him. Light turns green, we both turn left, with another IMMEDIATE left he decides to FLOOR IT and jumps ahead ONE car, then cuts them off to turn left into Wal Mart. I putter up behind him in the parking lot, and he sees a rather clear lane of parking spots and ROARS four spaces up, I putter two because he was going too fast to realize he passed an open spot, and I get out of my car and proceed to watch him repeatedly try to back into a parking spot. WHY DO GUYS IN LARGE PICKUPS INSIST ON BACKING INTO PARKING SPOTS? Either way... you gotta back up. So it's not a fear of reverse. So bozo in big red Ford pulls forward into a parking spot... then proceeds to back into the one behind him... misses and pulls back into the space in front of him and BACKS UP AGAIN! I timed him It took FOUR minutes before he got it parked. I'm leaning against the Pontiac just shaking my head.
"WHAT? Is there a PROBLEM?"
"Dude, really? All that driving like a stark raving lunatic scaring little old ladies and not getting ANYWHERE any faster... and then you need that long to just park?"
"Fuck you."
"Sorry, from the looks of you and your overcompensating mid life crisis machine I got a feeling the only one who will be doing ANY fucking for a long time is me."
"asshole"
"Well... YEAH!"
So I go in, wait for him to go in and I then move my car. Guys like that wont take an issue to another person, they'll just key the shit out of thier car. Cowards.
BTW... Windows 7 users... do your computers develop an insane amount of "system clutter" over the course of a week? I cleared up almost 2 GB of SYSTEM CLUTTER last night.
Plus, anyone else have a problem on DA where if you're writing a longer journal and if you gotta click something outside of the text window it automatically scrolls all the way to the top of the text window? Annoying as hell.

You get what you pay for.
General | Posted 15 years agoSpent the whole day painting and it brings to mind this word of thumb... you get what you pay for. We're painting the house interior and got this Wal Mart paint thinking "How bad could it be? If need be we'll just put another coat on, it's cheap enough."
Boy was THAT a bad idea. Vomit would give better coverage than this stuff. So tomorrow we'll go out and get some good paint and redo the whole thing.
So remember kids, as we saw in the Camaro good paint does a good job and with the house shit paint does a shit job. Takes twice as long and even TWO coats doesn't cover well.

Little douchebag update
General | Posted 15 years agoWell, the little shit found a loophole that meant they're not considered married, even by common law. Now, this attorney we use is a big shot. Like I said before, if you pay for electricity, in ANY part of the world, you're helping pay his salary. Then there's the little side jobs he does like what he's doing for my niece.
But the end result is that since they're not married by common law he can take anything back he wants, and he has. He left her with clothes, and that's pretty much it.
But it's not over yet. This attorney doesn't like to lose. And needless to say if Diamond Power and B&W pay this guy, among several other companies, he's a big dawg and he's gotten a restraining order on David and he found a loophole where David cannot see the baby. If he wants to see the baby he needs to come to his office with the little cheapo attorney David has and face him... man to man face to face. Over the phone he REALLY got nasty with David.
"Okay, you little douchebag... I have a court order going to you right now being delivered by a pistol packing uniformed officer. You're NOT seeing the child until you drag you sorry little ass in here and face me man to man. If you want to bring your pathetic little attorney in I promise you I will devour you and spit you out. It's deadbeat little douchebags like you that cause single parent households where parents can't afford school supplies for their kids or afford decent lunches for children. It's sorry little men like you that contribute to the problems in this country with youths turning to drugs and street life! So if you THINK you're a man get in here and face me! You feel like a big man taking everything from a crying 22 year old little woman let's see how you face me! Until then the court order stands and you'll be barred from seeing your little boy until after trial and if you LOSE that trial you'll NEVER see him again!"
I like this guy. But he also kinda turned on all of us. Everyone aside from Ashley has to disence ourselves from all of it, unless it goes to trial and even then we are only to attend unless we're called as witnesses.
Aw well... I can't wait to hear how THIS turns out! It's a shame, though, he took everything away from Ashley. BUT... most of the furnature he has... is OURS! So we're going to get it all back.
